High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late

Chapter 685: Chapter 455: Visitors from Beyond, Divine Tree, and the 33 Demon Gods!

"Bad news," Su Mu replied without thinking.

"I figured as much, but let’s start with the good news." Yuri glanced at Su Mu and brushed a lock of hair behind her ear, "There’s news about your flesh."

"About twenty days ago, at the kingdom’s border, in the Redel Province, many people witnessed an otherworldly object streaking across the sky."

"An otherworldly object?" Su Mu was taken aback, "How can you determine it’s a flesh, and that it is my flesh based on that?"

Hearing the question, Yuri looked up at the sky, murmuring with depth, "Because the Saint Race world is different from your world. There’s never been a meteorite, nor the brilliant starry sky of the Human World."

No meteorites ever?

And no starry sky?

Hearing this, Su Mu looked up at the sky thoughtfully. Since arriving in the Alien Race World, he had gazed at the sky many times. Yuri quickly looked away, "My people indeed found a large crater in the western mountains of the Redel Province. The timing matches; you should see for yourself."

Yuri tapped lightly on her wrist, and soon several photos were projected onto a device.

The first thing in sight was an aerial view—not very clear. Su Mu had come to feel the differences between the two realms, knowing the Alien Race’s martial arts level was not inferior to the Human Interface, but their technological level fell behind.

The technology level in the Alien Race Interface seemed to lag hundreds of years behind that of the Human World.

But technological products were not rare among the Alien Race elite, though few such products were in the hands of the general Alien Race populace, who still revered primitive individual martial prowess.

An abrupt huge scorched crater appeared in the mountains when viewed from above. As the pictures switched and the perspective zoomed into the center of the crater...

There was a silhouette resembling a human form within the blackened earth.

Seeing this, Su Mu had a partial judgment—this was likely the impact caused by his flesh crashing into the Alien Race soil, though he couldn’t confirm it directly yet.

As the images continued to switch, Yuri spoke with a puzzled expression.

"And at the center of that crater, there’s a strange phenomenon. The land is charred for miles around, but in that deep pit, life thrives..."

A splash of green appeared in the image, revealing a verdant sapling growing in the crater.

"That’s a little umbrella tree, also called a dwarf tree. This kind of tree isn’t a spiritual medicine, but it’s uniquely hard to grow tall. Normally, they hardly reach beyond one meter, yet the one in the crater is nearly two meters high."

Yuri’s voice carried disbelief as she gauged Su Mu’s reaction with her peripheral vision. The flickering eyes of Su Mu upon seeing the dwarf tree indicated that this bizarre phenomenon was indeed related to him.

It’s Immortal Power!

Su Mu’s deep eyes carried a hint of joy. Cooperating with Yuri was indeed the right choice; she was extraordinary, finding clues so quickly.

He was certain now that the crater was caused by the fall of his flesh—damaged by the Spear Intent of Overlord Blade Martial Saint’s last strike.

It was likely the excess Immortal Power leaked as his flesh self-repaired—powerful enough that just a wisp could nearly resurrect his wife Miaomiao, and now, allowing a common seedling to break its racial limit was not difficult.

"In the mountain areas of Redel Province, there exist some ancient tribes. The local tribes now regard this dwarf tree as a Divine Tree."

Lin Peng holds a big secret!

At this moment, Yuri almost confirmed it was definitely Lin Peng, standing beside her, who created this, though she was curious about how it was done. She refrained from asking, knowing everyone has secrets, including herself.

All this achieved with just a soul-less body.

It eased Yuri’s tension; the last twinge of doubt she had dissolved. It was likely true what Lin Peng claimed about slaying a Martial Saint.

"I guess my flesh isn’t in the hands of that tribe, is it?" Su Mu calmed his inner joy and spoke quickly.

"Correct, and that’s the bad news I have for you."

Yuri paused, "Your previous perception wasn’t wrong; it was indeed in the west, but not within Roy Kingdom’s borders. The Redel Province, where the crater was discovered, lies on the border of Roy and Guye."

"You mean it fell into the hands of Guye Kingdom."

"Yes, previously I mentioned that there was a minor upheaval in our Saint Race Interface, and you seem aware of it now. Near those mountains, within the Guye Kingdom’s borders, traces of military movement were found, matching the timeline."

Seeing Su Mu remain calm, Yuri’s voice turned slightly solemn, "But this is not the bad news I have for you."

This isn’t bad news yet?

"Do you know how long it took from the sighting of the otherworldly object to the tribes discovering the Divine Tree?"

Su Mu gazed over.

"Three days."

"Why three days? Didn’t anyone check during those three days?"

"Because after the otherworldly object crashed, according to locals, dreadful sounds would emerge from the deep mountains, resembling heartbeats. Even our Basic War Gods—equivalent to your human Grandmaster level martial artists—found it difficult to approach the crater, as their Qi and Blood would undergo terrifying rebellious turmoil."

Yuri watched Su Mu intently as she spoke, but at this moment, his face remained ever calm, showing no change.
