Chapter 1469: Chapter 720: The Reborn World Tree (Part 2)

Dizziness, nausea, weakness...

Xu Xin was all too familiar with these symptoms.

Isn’t this exactly the symptoms most people experience the first time they teleport?

When they are still not accustomed to teleportation, the first few times always result in these symptoms.

However, after several teleportations, almost everyone adapts and no longer feels discomfort.

Yet, at this moment, Xu Ying, someone who views teleportation as casually as eating and drinking, is experiencing such aftereffects from teleportation!

"..."

No.

It’s not just her.

Xu Xin also rubbed his temples.

During this teleportation, he too revisited that feeling... of dizziness.

But it was just a slight dizziness, only now noticeable after being startled by Xu Ying’s condition.

Even he can feel dizziness, which means...

"Yingying, your teleportation has become unstable..."

Only unstable teleportation can cause such dizziness.

For example, because his coordinates provide unstable teleportation, it causes dizziness.

The Transmission Array’s teleportation, even for those who haven’t experienced it, doesn’t cause any aftereffects because it’s a stable teleportation channel.

And Xu Ying’s prior teleportation was extremely stable; she had teleported many people and none showed any aftereffects.

Now, even Xu Xin, who is completely accustomed to teleportation, feels a bit dizzy.

Let alone herself.

"... Yes. It’s... unstable now." Xu Ying’s face was pale as she leaned against the wall, her voice weak, "Right now... ugh..."

She had very noticeable aftereffects.

"Just rest for a bit."

"Alright."

Xu Ying closed her eyes, taking a brief rest.

Xu Xin walked to the window and pushed open a gap in the crystal white window to take a look outside.

An incredibly tall and lush World Tree appeared before him.

Under the World Tree was a completely unscathed Crystal City.

And around the World Tree’s trunk were dozens of treehouses.

If not for a few bomb craters on the ground and the scattered yellow leaves, Xu Xin might feel that there was never any battle here.

No remnants of alien invaders exist.

Here, it was very quiet.

The leaves of the World Tree’s enormous canopy swayed slightly in the wind, leading Xu Xin to notice something different.

This World Tree...

Seemed smaller than before.

The previous World Tree had grown to completely cover Crystal City.

Yet, the World Tree he saw now only covered most of Crystal City.

The city’s outskirts were exposed beyond the World Tree’s canopy, appearing glaring under the sunlight.

It’s quite obvious.

This World Tree had regrown after being utterly destroyed, like a "sapling."

"How’s it outside, brother, the current situation..."

Xu Ying tried to stand up by supporting herself on the wall.

"It’s very safe outside now; just rest well first."

Xu Xin pressed her back down.

"...Brother, right now, I’ve completely lost my teleportation ability."

Xu Ying sat on the ground with her legs curled in front, encircling her arms around them, speaking in a muffled voice.

"Completely lost it..."

"Yes... Not even short distance, I’m afraid it’s impossible now," she sighed.

Her tone wasn’t sad or upset, but rather somewhat wistful.

After all, the powerful and convenient ability, which had accompanied her for so long, disappeared suddenly...

Now she truly felt no sense of security at all.

"Perhaps it’s good that it’s gone, saving you from overusing it and exacerbating your condition."

"My exacerbation isn’t caused by my teleportation!"

Xu Ying, now feeling much better, couldn’t help but retort.

"Then why did this long-distance teleportation leave you like this?"

"I... that was because this time’s distance was too far..." Xu Ying replied somewhat guiltily.

Sure enough, each teleportation did indeed worsen her condition.

"Sigh... But, it seems I can’t join you in establishing the city within the World Tree anymore."

Xu Ying supported herself against the wall and stood up, shaking her still somewhat dizzy head, lamenting, "Right now, I’m not qualified to enter the World Tree anymore..."

"You... hiss—"

Xu Xin wanted to help Xu Ying, but when he grasped her arm, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he withdrew his hand.

Xu Ying’s body shuddered.

Later, she said with a bitter smile, "My space-time is already very chaotic now; even touching me makes you feel uncomfortable, doesn’t it?"

Indeed, Xu Xin felt a... somewhat electric discomfort.

It was as if the hand that touched her would be peeled away the next second.

Such a... strange sensation.

"If Keke saw me like this now, she would probably be scared to shrink into a corner, trembling?" Xu Ying said self-mockingly.

"... Your current state shouldn’t always persist like this, right?" Xu Xin asked.

"I... I’m not sure." Xu Ying’s expression turned a bit blank, "I feel that my condition is continuously worsening..."

Worsening...

Indeed.

Just when Xu Ying first teleported here, Xu Xin had helped her sit against the wall.

At that time, she didn’t give him that extremely strange feeling.
