Anime Crossover: Many Children, Many Blessings; Yukino, the Wife from the Apocalypse

That invisible and intangible spiritual power seemed to flow into his body like water.

Chang Wei felt his spiritual energy enter a vast and boundless green space, where the light was dazzling, and a huge green sphere shone like a small sun.

The green light shone on his mental energy, making him feel as if he were in a hot spring, extremely comfortable.

Even his mental strength grew at an astonishing rate.

However, as his mental strength increased, Chang Wei also noticed that the greenery in this space was gradually dissipating, and the entire space seemed to become tense.

He instantly understood that this was the primordial power of the Tree of Life, and that if he absorbed it, the entire tree would likely wither away.

He knew that his goal was to continuously reap the fruits of life, rather than to take away someone's life all at once.

Therefore, he decisively stopped absorbing and instead channeled his mental energy directly into the green sphere of light in the air.

The next moment, a massive surge of life energy flowed into Chang Wei's body through a wondrous connection.

This power caused Chang Wei's entire body to glow with a green light, and his body was constantly being reshaped within the light.

When the light faded, Chang Wei looked down at himself and felt as if he had become more than ten years younger, with skin as smooth as jade, even whiter and more tender than a woman's skin.

Chang Wei's face was not originally that outstanding, but after subtle changes, it appeared flawless.

His eyes were deep, as if whirlpools were flowing within them, capable of easily captivating the soul.

He raised his hand and stared at those flawless palms, which were like white jade, and a sense of disbelief and doubt arose in his heart.

He knew that while he wasn't ugly, calling him handsome was a bit of a stretch.

However, at this moment, he firmly believed that if this appearance existed in the pre-apocalyptic era, he would surely attract countless stares on the streets.

However, just as he was immersed in his own transformation, the Tree of Life before him stopped moving and slowly approached him.

He tried to communicate with the tree, but no matter how he called out, he received no response.

"Master, it cannot speak."

Little Green's voice echoed in his mind, explaining, "Its level is too high. Although it can understand what you say, it cannot communicate with you."

Chang Wei nodded, then asked, "When will it be able to communicate with me?"

The Fruit of Life was of utmost importance to him, and he longed to communicate with it. Little Green responded again, "Perhaps, when you advance to the next level."

After saying that, it fell silent.

Chang Wei looked at the fruit of life again, his heart filled with curiosity.

He murmured, "After advancing another level, what will come next? Level ten? Or an even higher level?"

After the apocalypse, the world entered an era of great evolution, with evolved beings emerging in large numbers.

But the highest level Chang Wei had ever seen was this level nine Life Fruit Tree. He was filled with confusion about anything of a higher level.

Just then, he heard other people calling out to him.

His expression changed as he looked at the Life Fruit Tree before him, knowing full well that this tree was a rare treasure and far too conspicuous.

He had to find a way to hide it to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"Why don't you go into my storage ring first?"

He spoke softly to the Tree of Life. Chang Wei fell into deep thought. His storage ring possessed miraculous storage capabilities, yet a question arose in his mind—was this ring, capable of containing everything, sufficient to hold a strange plant like the Tree of Life?

With this doubt in mind, he tentatively raised the question.

"Crash-"

The branches and leaves of the Tree of Life swayed in the wind, as if responding to Chang Wei's question; the sound was like its silent agreement.

A smile appeared on Chang Wei's face. With a wave of his hand, a sharp wind blade appeared out of thin air, cutting through the soil around the fruit tree. The life fruit tree was uprooted and steadily stored in his storage ring.

He focused his attention on sensing the situation inside the ring, and after confirming that the Tree of Life was safe and sound, the weight on his heart finally lifted.

At this moment, the other team members arrived one after another. They all looked a bit disheveled, but fortunately, everyone was safe and sound.

"Chang Wei, what exactly happened here?"

They stared at the huge crater in the ground, their faces full of curiosity.

Chang Wei rushed here alone just now, but now a huge crater has appeared out of nowhere. The reason for this is truly puzzling.

However, before they could even voice their questions, their gazes were drawn to Chang Wei's face, and they all wore expressions of disbelief:

"Chief Changwei, your...your face?"

Chang Wei looked at their surprised expressions, feeling a little smug inside, but maintained a calm demeanor on the surface: "What's wrong?"

"So handsome!"

Saya Takagi's voice rang out first. She looked at Chang Wei in shock. His appearance, which had once been only slightly better than that of an ordinary person, had now undergone a dramatic transformation.

His eyes were like stars, and his skin was as delicate as mutton fat jade; he was simply a living, breathing handsome man.

Tang Yingtong and the others were also shocked, and they asked Chang Wei curiously about the reason behind it.

"I encountered a mutated plant, and after I killed it, this is what happened."

Chang Wei explained casually that he didn't want to elaborate on this strange phenomenon, because he knew that the more you explain something, the more likely it is to cause unnecessary trouble.

Then, his gaze was drawn to the milky white stone in Tang Yingtong's hand. The stone was only the size of a palm, but it emitted a strange luster.

An extraordinary power seems to be lurking in that mysterious place.

Saya Takagi and the others understood immediately, realizing that Chang Wei had some secret he didn't want Sasaki and the others to know, so they all kept quiet.

444 The Unfathomable King of Zombies!

A sly glint flashed in Takagi Saya's eyes. She noticed that Chang Wei's gaze was fixed on mytang Yingtong's hand, so she broke the silence with a charming laugh:

"Chief Changwei, you missed a good show! Ying Tong was incredibly brave just now, slaying a mutated plant and even getting a very peculiar stone out of it!"

Ada Wong and the others couldn't help but laugh out loud upon hearing this: "We've seen plenty of weapons and skills, but this is the first time we've ever seen a stone drop!"

Tang Yingtong's cheeks flushed slightly. She had originally hoped to obtain skills or weapons like others, but the stone in her hand, though unique, left her somewhat disappointed.

However, these people's jokes did not bring a smile to Chang Wei's face.

He stared intently at the stone in Tang Yingtong's hand, his heart churning with turmoil.

Because he inadvertently discovered information about the stone—

Special item: Energy Stone.

Function: To provide energy.

These two simple pieces of information were enough to unsettle Chang Wei's mind.

He remembered that he had previously obtained a technology blueprint depicting a city wall, but it had remained sealed. The key to unlocking it was an energy stone! Once he had this energy stone, the technology on the blueprint could become a reality.

Now, with the energy stone he had been dreaming of right before him, Chang Wei hesitated. He felt that his journey had been too smooth, as if everything was beckoning to him.

This sudden stroke of good fortune made him uneasy, fearing that it was all just an illusion.

But Chang Wei quickly made up his mind: "Whether it's a blessing or a curse, I have to face it. Even if a pie falls from the sky and is poison, I have to take a bite! I can't let others benefit from it!"

A surge of greed welled up in his heart, and he looked up at Tang Yingtong, revealing what he thought was a charming smile.

"Yingtong, that stone of yours..."

When Chang Wei suddenly asked for that seemingly ordinary stone, everyone present was stunned.

Saya Takagi and the others exchanged bewildered glances, wondering why Chang Wei would attach such importance to this inconspicuous stone.

They secretly guessed that there must be an extraordinary secret behind this stone.

As an experienced explorer, Chang Wei's intuition and insight have always been accurate.

His direct demand must mean that the stone is of great significance to him.

Ido Kageto was also surprised, but before she could speak, Sasaki Suke spoke first, chuckling and teasing, "Boss, this is our spoils of war. It seems a bit improper for you to just take it away so casually."

Everyone knew perfectly well that Chang Wei's actions must have been based on his own considerations.

Although they were curious about the true value of the stone, they also knew they couldn't easily hand it over.

After all, in the world of adventure, every seemingly ordinary item may hide a huge opportunity.

However, Chang Wei seemed to have anticipated this reaction.

He smiled slightly and calmly stated his conditions: "We are willing to reduce the grain distribution to 20% this time. What do you think of these conditions?"

Upon hearing this, Takagi Saya and the others were startled.

They knew that this was not just a matter of food distribution, but also a recognition of the value of the stone.

Chang Wei was willing to give up such a huge benefit in order to obtain this stone.

This shocked and angered them.

Sasaki was experiencing a surge of indescribable emotions.

He originally just wanted to get some benefits from Chang Wei, but he didn't expect Chang Wei to be so generous in making concessions.

What secret does this stone hold?

Why is Chang Wei so determined to win?
