A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 448 Current Status of the Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood

Jiang Shuzhou's request to become the Central Region Guardian was not because he wanted to govern the Alliance, or rather, that was only a small part of the reason.

The real reason is that Jiang Shuzhou plans to take action against the elves.

Playing with the test tube containing the blood of the primitive elves in his hand, Jiang Shuzhou's face showed neither joy nor sorrow, only calmness.

However, his shifty eyes betrayed him.

"Master, what are you thinking about?"

Grace leaned closer. She knew that whenever her master gave her that look, it meant someone else was about to be in trouble.

"It's nothing, I just want to go see the World Tree."

Jiang Shuzhou said.

"Shall we go take a look?"

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Although Jiang Shuzhou wanted to see the World Tree of the Elven race, he didn't mind seeing his own first.

"Just to mention, the Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood is actually my other body, so you are looking at me as if you were looking at the World Tree."

"..."

Grace fell silent.

"Master, how did you manage to possess someone? Even at a high level, it shouldn't be this easy, right?"

"It's very simple. Just create it when you're at the intermediate level, and then you can directly possess it later."

"..."

Grace fell silent again.

Jiang Shuzhou's terrifying power exceeded her expectations. Perhaps this was talent. While others were still immersed in the laboratory making potions, Jiang Shuzhou had already begun creating the Flesh and Blood Mother Tree.

This child is terrifyingly powerful.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood now resides in Jiang Shuzhou's demiplane, supporting a magical network that operates independently of Mystra's magical network.

Furthermore, compared to spell transmission, Jiang Shuzhou's magic network is closer to the Internet, only with more functions.

There are many interesting aspects, such as how everyone can infuse elements or magic into the magic network through their own cultivation to earn magic points as a reward in their account.

These elements and magic will be compressed and transformed into magic stones.

So, in reality, Jiang Shuzhou was using those people to mine resources, except that he was mining human resources.

These magic points will be used to exchange for things like knowledge, or to trade with each other.

Naturally, Jiang Shuzhou would charge some handling fees and taxes, which would allow him to maintain a considerable profit margin, about 65%, which is not much.

Of course, the cost of maintaining the magic network is also included, but Jiang Shuzhou would never pay for it himself.

Some time has passed since I last came; a hundred years have gone by in the demiplane.

In the current demiplane, there are no longer any wilderness camps, only dozens of fortified cities. These cities have strong defenses and can resist the attacks of flesh-and-blood creatures.

At the same time, magic stone technology and flesh and blood technology have become mainstream.

Through refining, magic stone fragments can be condensed into higher purity magic stone blocks, eventually becoming the true twenty-sided magic stone.

This is Jiang Shuzhou's experimental field, where almost anything dangerous is found.

What are these dream storms that distort the viewer upon entering? What are these annual tides of flesh and blood? And what are these terrifying distortions of time and folds of space?

It can be said that all sorts of disasters are happening everywhere, and for ordinary people, the only safe place here is the fortified city.

For Jiang Shuzhou, even in the outside world, a hundred years is just a blink of an eye, merely a fleeting moment in his life.

But for ordinary people, it is a legacy passed down through three generations.

In any case, through replenishment and self-reproduction over the years, the population of the entire demiplane has finally exceeded ten million, which is not bad, at least it won't easily become extinct.

After observing for a while, Jiang Shuzhou took Grace to the location of the Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood, since they weren't here specifically to experience life.

At this point, the Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood could no longer be called the Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood; it should be called the Dream World Tree.

Countless butterflies of dreamlike colors danced around the mother tree of flesh and blood; the former scarlet color had long since disappeared, replaced by pure white.

The trunk of the Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood is entirely white, radiating a soft light, while its crown is a dreamlike color, soaring high into the dream world, drawing power from countless dreams.

If you look closely, you can even see the content of those dreams.

However, just as order and chaos are two extremes, the Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood is not only a part of the dream.

At the same time, there is also the chaos belonging to the abyss, just as it used to be.

On the other side of the world, or rather, in the opposite space, the Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood remained crimson, only its bare roots stretched towards the abyss, absorbing endless chaotic power to provide a portion of its strength.

"Here, this is for you, take it."

After Jiang Shuzhou finished speaking, the Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood produced a huge fruit, which then fell to the ground and burst out into triangular crystals.

The crystal is colorful and varied in appearance.

Clearly, this is a crystallization of a dream.

"That's so convenient, I want one too."

Grace was very envious; Jiang Shuzhou's method was far more efficient than hers.

"You're overthinking it; it's basically impossible."

Jiang Shuzhou shook his head. The Blood and Flesh Mother Tree was something Jiang Shuzhou had accidentally discovered, and it had a close relationship with the power of the abyss. It also advanced along with him, and he could be said to have benefited greatly from it.

As for Grace wanting to do something similar?

Then forget about it, it's almost impossible. It's difficult to reproduce even rare items, let alone advance together.

Holding the triangular dream crystal, Grace felt a surge of emotion.

She only discovered the original form of this thing back then, which was the essence of dreams.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Shuzhou actually managed to create an artificial one.

Not only that, what is the purpose of absorbing so much power?

Grace had naturally already guessed as much.

That dream world is probably located within the Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood, and the purpose of these powers is to nourish that dream world.

After becoming a legend, that world shrank to something like a seed, but only a seed of the world.

Even legendary mages couldn't afford to maintain something like this; it requires a massive amount of elements and the power of dreams, all of which are indispensable.

If the power of the dream is insufficient, then this seed will erupt at any time and eventually return to nothingness.

But Jiang Shuzhou is different. He can use a large amount of energy, excluding that from other planes, to nourish this seed world that has not yet taken shape.

Jiang Shuzhou could sense that the seed would sprout soon.

At the same time, Jiang Shuzhou also had some plans.

Using the Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood to power the floating city is just right, or rather, it can serve as a core component.

Jiang Shuzhou is working on the design of other aspects, so they are not needed for the time being.

The most urgent task now is to upgrade the flesh and blood creatures under my command.

Of course, there is an even grander plan: to devour the Elf World Tree.

Jiang Shuzhou had a premonition that after he devoured the Elf World Tree, creating a true soul would no longer be a pipe dream.
