Chapter 624: The Tree of Life, the Pillars of Knowledge, and the Complete System of Biological Knowledge

[Absinthe's Life Pool]

Quality: Legendary

Introduction: This is a life vitality pool that Mortarian created early on at Absinthe's request, specifically designed to fulfill her need for physical and mental healing during her leisure time. It holds different meanings for both of them.

Characteristics:

① The pool water is composed of countless microscopic active organisms. They feed on injuries and negative emotions, continuously purifying themselves, never depleting or becoming polluted, forever maintaining their optimal state.

② Ignores the external appearance of injuries, directly reads the 'optimal template' through the life form's genetic code, and uses that to heal the injuries.

③ When healing and repairing the spirit and soul, it has a soothing and restorative effect.

Functions:

① External injuries: Healed within seconds, leaving no scars

Internal injuries: Repaired within minutes, organs and tissues restored to their original state

Severed limbs: The severed area regrows, with a complete limb regenerating within a few hours

Fatal wounds: As long as there are still signs of life upon entering the pool water, it can fully revive the being (for Gold Rank and above, it only provides healing and stabilization effects)

② Eliminates all toxins, viruses, and parasites within the life form; removes all diseases and hidden injury conditions.

③ When healing mental trauma, it can restore a chaotic or collapsed consciousness to its stable state before the damage, and also cleanse and purify the life form's consciousness space.

④ Repairs the effects of aging on bodily functions, and freezes the appearance and skin condition.

————————

Yu Yuan stared at the pool in front of him, blinking his eyes, lost in thought.

This was basically a bathhouse pool built by Mortarian for Absinthe!

And instead of calling it an active healing pool, in Yu Yuan's opinion, it was more like a fully automatic SPA body maintenance pool.

Just look at these characteristics and functions—repairing the body without leaving scars, removing all toxins, soothing the mind, and purifying the soul.

And finally, it can even repair aging and freeze one's appearance.

Yu Yuan felt that his guess was absolutely correct.

However...

Although this was someone else's bathhouse pool, for Yu Yuan right now.

It was absolutely perfect.

Even a severed limb could be healed within hours, and as long as you still had breath, it could bring you back to life.

This wasn't a bathhouse pool at all—it was a resurrection spring pool!

Mortarian really was a master in the field of biological civilization.

A facility casually built by him was, in Yu Yuan's eyes, an overpowered existence.

Not to mention anything else, just this alone was enough for Yu Yuan to shout:

—Master, you're amazing!! (Cracking voice)

Although this [Absinthe's Life Pool] was placed on the Third Floor of the tower, it could be moved.

Yu Yuan had the highest administrative authority and complete control over everything here.

So... this legendary-quality bath... life pool, was seamlessly transformed into a model, and Yu Yuan packed it up and took it away.

His heart was full of glee.

Walking up to the Fourth Floor.

Here stood twelve semi-transparent biological crystal pillars, each 8 meters tall and 1 meter in diameter. Inside the pillars were countless tiny points of light, flickering like a starry sky on a moonless night.

In the central area surrounded by the twelve pillars was a tree, also made of biological crystals.

The trunk was semi-transparent, with countless tiny conduits inside through which streams of colored light flowed.

These colored lights traveled upward from the roots, through the trunk and branches, and finally into each shimmering, crystalline leaf.

Densely packed!

Yu Yuan was instantly stunned.

A sense of epic grandeur washed over him.

"The Tree of Life!"

Yu Yuan learned the name of this crystal tree from his administrative authority.

The twelve crystal pillars surrounding it were called the 'Pillars of Knowledge,' and the entire hall on this floor was called the Hall of Life and Wisdom.

Yu Yuan walked beneath the Tree of Life and reached out to touch one of its leaves.

The moment he touched the leaf, a 3D virtual image appeared before his eyes.

It was a feline creature with almost no visible outline. Its body was completely melded into shadow, with only a pair of glowing eyes visible.

— Shadow Cat.

[The Shadow Cat is a shadow creature discovered in the Black Abyss World, quite peculiar...] A voiceover echoed in Yu Yuan's ear, its tone as relaxed as if an elder were introducing their collection to a junior.

It was Mortarian's voice, but this time, it was completely different from the old, frail, and weak state Yu Yuan had heard when he entered the Civilization Relic.

The tone was peaceful and steady.

Yu Yuan looked at the incredibly vivid Shadow Cat before him, then his finger touched another leaf.

The image switched, and this time, a giant shadow appeared, swimming in the deep sea. It was a whale. Its mouth opened wide, transforming into an abyssal maw, swallowing the surrounding seawater and marine life for kilometers in one huge gulp.

But its mouth was like a bottomless abyss, never ceasing its suction.

— Abyssal Whale.

[I discovered this Abyssal Whale life form in the Vast Sea Realm. Their average strength is Silver-tier, and some individuals can reach the peak of Silver-tier. Under my invitation, the chief of the Abyssal Whales agreed to join the Civilization Star Track system...]

The voiceover sounded again, and a flicker of realization appeared in Yu Yuan's eyes.

"The Civilization Star Track system..."

Yu Yuan murmured softly.

His finger touched another leaf.

Sure enough.

One new creature after another appeared before Yu Yuan.

Here, every single leaf represented a unique life race.

Either a new species Mortarian had discovered during his explorations, or a species he had created himself.

Each life form possessed a unique life form, characteristics, social structure...

In short, it gave Yu Yuan an eye-opening experience.

Yu Yuan's gaze shifted to the twelve Pillars of Knowledge surrounding him.

At the base of each Pillar of Knowledge was a seat.

The seats were also made of the same biological crystal material, but on them were several tentacle-like biological structures, tightly attached to the seats.

Yu Yuan came before the [Pillar of Evolution], thought for a few seconds, and then sat down on the seat.

Two seconds after he sat down, the tentacles attached to the seat suddenly began to move.

They reached Yu Yuan's head. Two attached themselves to his temples, and three formed a 'triangular' shape, attaching to other parts of his skull.

A faint, cool sensation spread through him.

The next moment, he felt a wave of dizziness, and his consciousness appeared in a void space.

A piece of information drilled into his mind.

[You have entered the 'Pillar of Evolution', please select the required knowledge!]

Yu Yuan looked at the countless orbs of light floating around him and understood in his heart that these orbs represented knowledge related to evolution.

Each orb was a separate piece of knowledge.

Yu Yuan reached out and touched the orb closest to him.

— [Biological Evolution Path Deduction, confirm knowledge infusion?]

— [No]

He reached out and touched another orb.

— [Method of Extraordinary Species Evolution, confirm knowledge infusion?]

— [No]

"So this is how you can obtain knowledge!"

Yu Yuan exited the 'Pillar of Evolution' and looked back at the twelve Pillars of Knowledge with a changed expression.

This was the most complete knowledge system of Mortarian's biological civilization.

This was the foundation of a Gold Rank civilization!

Only one thought existed in Yu Yuan's mind.

That was... to take it all away.
