Xue Dili finally knew why when he asked the World Consciousness, its reply was "No hope, just wait for death, goodbye."

Because in subsequent observations, the reckless mystics discovered that they could use Qijela's magic power and traits to resurrect the dead, and they called it "Divine Wood Rebirth."

Even more outrageous is directly transmitting false memories to the bones resurrected by Qijela, thus creating a completely controllable, false "living dead."

This was not the most despairing for Xue Dili. What was more despairing was that the American military discovered Qijela here, and they even started to seize Qijela. When they found that Qijela could not be controlled by them, they used the famous Freedom Militia Missile M161 carrying tens of thousands of tons of high-explosive incendiary explosives to blow up Qijela.

Everything was as if it never happened, the mystics were nearly all dead, and since the American military couldn't guarantee their control over Qijela, they obliterated it.

However, the essence of Qijela is a giant ancient fungus, although it externally appears like an immensely large twisted "ancient tree," its essence is a conglomerate of woody fungi.

Thus, the spores of the blown-up Qijela began to spread throughout America's water cycle, and through Earth's water cycle, started spreading to the whole world...

...

Xue Dili: "..."

Fungal spores infect the world, and then all living organisms can be turned into "vegetative people" by the fungus...

Next is the apocalypse for the United States, and then it's a story that must be told about a psychopath named Joel and a golden golf club, right?

Xue Dili couldn't even make a sarcastic comment, at this moment, he even had the same thought as the World Consciousness.

No hope, just wait for death, goodbye.

Tired, let's just destroy it, hurry up.

When it comes to reckless actions, Xue Dili feels it's still these mystics and the American military rushing towards mutual destruction, this really is...

A bunch of people recklessly summoning unknown things and directly experimenting on humans and reviving the dead, doing abstract underworld stuff, making even a certain snake master from Konoha Village sweat in shame.

Another group of people acting like lunatics, "Ayayayayaya," saying things like "If I can't have it, I'll destroy it" and "Burn you," doing abstract crazy acts without knowing that Qijela's essence is an ultra-ancient fungus, recklessly using Freedom Militia Missiles on it.

Xue Dili: "..."

Indeed, the abstract matching mechanism of the American region.

Not a single one is sane.

Xue Dili suddenly thought the young lady band from the literature club was quite decent, compared to this abstract American region, after all, they only went abstract because the lead singer had issues, whereas America is like Arkham's psychiatric hospital.

The parallel world's self going to school there, is truly too unfortunate.

Even more unfortunate is that the parallel world's self is half a foot into the field of mysticism, about to become an abstract region player.

"Do mystics exist in my world?" Xue Dili asked in panic.

According to the definition of mysticism, achieving extraordinary effects using Divine Era rituals without the need for magic, so it seems mystics in his world can still use their techniques.

[Vulnerability resolved] said the World Consciousness.

That's good; it turns out another function of the parallel world is to provide pitfalls for the Main World.

A sober Xue Dili looked towards the pre-dawn sky, suddenly feeling that a world without magic is truly good, no unexpected lunatics causing massive trouble, saying "pain, too painful" and then wanting to destroy the world.

Zeus was like this in the past, now in that parallel world even with forbidden magic, mystics still find ways to self-destruct spectacularly.

Xue Dili was already powerless to make sarcastic comments.

It's four-thirty in the morning, still some time left, might as well catch another nap.

Thinking so, Xue Dili suddenly saw more memories of the mystic Austin.

He hadn't died; he luckily survived the Freedom Militia Missile cleansing, but his entire body was beginning to be irreversibly infected by the fungus, with leaves and branches growing from his body, covered with twisted mycelium.

From his perspective, starting from Salem Town, the entire world was being infected, and those infected would become "Fungal Zombies."

In his last moments, he saw that mystic scholar senior who organized Salem Town, but now he looked like a young and vigorous person, completely unlike his formerly decrepit and white-haired self.

Austin was shocked; he couldn't believe that the person opposite him, also infected by the fungus, could become like this.

"I have finally succeeded, do you see? This is the true resurgence of mystery, which is the resurgence of the Divine Era." He laughed maniacally, towards the old mystic scholar.

"The power of the Divine Wood granted me immortality, truly, eternal life! This is the truth of mysterious resurgence, the magic power of the Divine Era, to obtain it requires a price."

In the last moment of the old mystic scholar's life, he realized that he and his cohorts had been manipulated, someone took advantage of their greed for the Divine Era and magic power to set this trap that they would inevitably fall into.

Perhaps he even leaked the information to the American military.

And in the end, magic, released from the hands of that mystic scholar senior, blew him into pieces...

Xue Dili: "..."

Why does he suddenly feel like it's as expected?

No matter what kind of oddities these mystic scholars come up with, Xue Dili won't be speechless because it's just too typical.

Abstract.

Looking at Austin, who was desperately improving the Light Magic in the Consciousness Space, he completely forgot about the matters of Salem Town, Qijela, and the spore infection around the world.

He only knew that he was still desperately pursuing the steps of magic, as long as he could learn magic and truly feel the magic power, then even if he died, it would be worth the ticket price.

Xue Dili: "..."

He got up, leisurely looking in the direction of the school.

It seems like that parallel world is probably done for, displays like Austin's memory loss usually appear in people who have been dead for a long time.

Perhaps that parallel world is already in the year 2030, the spores long spread across the world, coupled with the mentally insane mystic scholars fanning the flames in the background.

No wonder the World Consciousness stated so firmly that there's no saving it…

According to the setup there, spores infect the whole world, then it's probably a zombie siege, Qijela's Life Force might even revive countless bones and infect other animals and plants.

And with the more weighty oceans, if Qijela's spores can grow in the sea, then you might as well leave the keyboard and declare GG.

"Could it be that there are also those ancient spore plants below our world's Salem Town in America?" Xue Dili asked.

[Yes]

Xue Dili: "..."

[But it is completely sealed, and no other creatures have any way of breaking my seal, I also clean it up regularly]

So that's fine, how did this spore originate anyway?

Spores with plant characteristics, a bit like those oldest eukaryotic fungi from billions of years ago, during that era, plants, animals, and fungi hadn't split yet, many bacteria had cell walls and chloroplasts.

They could perform photosynthesis like plants and start hunting other plants like animals, they could also decompose corpses like fungi.

For the creatures of that era, as long as they could obtain energy, no method was off the table, whether photosynthesis or hunting.

And Qijela clearly possessed traits of animals, plants, and fungi at the same time, which was very tricky.

"Can I find a way to destroy Qijela first?" Xue Dili asked, "With my current strength."

[No]

"Even the Star-Burning World-Destroying Cannon can't do it?" Xue Dili asked in shock. According to Austin's memories, that ancient tree was even blown away by the US military's Freedom Militia Missile, so how could the Quasi-5th Tier Star-Burning World-Destroying Cannon not do it?

The World Consciousness didn't answer Xue Dili, which instead made Xue Dili feel that things might not be as simple as he thought.

Could it be that Qijela is not an Earth-native organism?

Such thoughts inevitably emerged in his mind, growing more intense.

[I will periodically throw It into other worlds, so you don't have to worry for now, we'll talk about it later]

Xue Dili immediately frowned, considering that with the Celestial Thunder's Star-Burning World-Destroying Cannon, he could even sweep the entire American Continent, why can't such level attacks eliminate Qijela?

No matter how powerful it is, isn't it still just an ultra-ancient primitive plant? Why does it have a Tier Five? Isn't that Zeus' level?

Does it mean that the older something is on Blue Star, the stronger it is, so those prokaryotic bacteria from over three billion years ago were each as strong as gods and demons?

Xue Dili's thoughts ran wildly like a runaway train.

As his thoughts scattered, looking at the gloomy sky at the moment, he suddenly felt a sense of urgency for many hidden secrets in this world.

Indeed, Blue Star is not completely peaceful, otherwise, the World Consciousness would not exert so much effort to give Xue Dili a hack and cultivate him bit by bit.

"Forget it, don't think too much, the situation has come to this, let's eat first." Xue Dili said.

...

Riding a bicycle to the school, Xue Dili once again submitted a seven-day leave request.

The last time he went to the Fairy Tale World, he didn't even hand in a leave request. Although he only went for two days, it amounted to skipping the entire Friday's classes and even Saturday's evening self-study.

Speaking of which, it's quite strange, but their school indeed has evening self-study, it's just that it's not mandatory, but good performance in evening self-study can add points to the final exams, about 5 points.

Though he never attended it anyway.

"I should still go, think of it as going to meet that ancient tree, gain some experience, and by then, if I really need to clean up the ancient tree beneath Boston, I can have some experience." Xue Dili discussed with the World Consciousness.

He couldn't just leave that other world alone, could he? What if it can be saved?
