Chapter 131 The Spirit Of Vegetation? The Continuation Of The Copy Plot!
A few Primordial Elves immediately flew over, eagerly wanting to follow inside.
However, after Chen Yu entered, the light gate flickered and disappeared.
"Oh~"
"Ouch, that hurts~!"
A few Primordial Elves foolishly bumped into the tree trunk and were bounced back.
"Mother, why can't she let us learn a little?" Xiao Guang rubbed his forehead and complained discontentedly.
"We'll figure out a way, we must go in and take a look!"
Xiao Yan knocked on the tree trunk, gesturing as if looking for a good place to start.
At this moment, a green branch quickly grew on the trunk of the World Tree.
"Crack, crack, crack, crack—"
The tender branch whipped like lightning, sending all six Primordial Elves flying.
On the other side, Chen Yu followed the faint green humanoid figure into the main trunk of the World Tree and discovered a very peculiar space.
In this vast world, colorful colors blended together like a dream.
It was as if a child had splattered paint on a white paper.
But upon closer inspection, one would find that these chaotic colors intertwined with a stunning beauty of patterns.
It seemed that everything in the world could find its own reflection in it.
"Master~"
A sweet and lively voice sounded in Chen Yu's ear.
This was the first time Chen Yu had heard the voice of the World Tree.
Previously, communication with the World Tree was done through telepathy.
Chen Yu quickly turned his head.
However, there was nothing beside him.
At this moment, Chen Yu felt his clothes being tugged.
He looked down and saw a silver-haired green-eyed little girl who was just taller than his waist, looking up at him.
The little girl wore a heart-shaped leaf hairpin on her head and a white bud dress with light golden patterns and dark green leaf decorations on the skirt.
She wore a pair of shiny gold bracelets on her arms and had soft little feet wearing open-toed white socks.
"Are you the World Tree?" Chen Yu was somewhat surprised.
The World Tree turned out to be such a cute little girl.
This chubby and petite figure was completely different from the curvaceous image of the faint green humanoid.
"Don't you like it, Master? Then how about this?"
The little girl suddenly grew taller in front of Chen Yu.
In less than a minute, her height went from 1.3 meters to just over 1.7 meters.
Her short hair turned into waist-length long hair, and her chubby little legs turned into a pair of white, firm, and slender long legs.
The bud dress unfolded into a white backless low-cut evening gown.
The small white socks turned into knee-high white stockings.
"Amazing!"
Chen Yu stared in astonishment at the cute and innocent little girl who had transformed into a pure and gentle mature woman.
"Do you like it, Master?"
The mature version of the World Tree smiled softly and asked in a gentle voice.
"I like it!"
Chen Yu nodded vigorously.
Actually, the loli version was also good, but it was not as shocking as the mature version.
"In that case, what are you waiting for?"
The mature World Tree smiled and lifted Chen Yu's cheeks, raising her head to give him a kiss.
In that instant, the psychedelic colors in the surrounding space began to flow rapidly towards Chen Yu and the mature World Tree, engulfing them.
Chen Yu's vision was occupied by endless colorful hues.
In a daze, he felt himself surrounded by an extremely warm and comfortable feeling.
A strange warmth permeated through his skin and deep into his body.
It was as if every cell in his body was immersed in a steaming hot spring.
"So this is the method of increasing occupational attributes?"
Chen Yu closed his eyes.
[Prompt: Contact with the World Tree, exchange material energy, vitality +1]
The prompt sounded in his mind, but Chen Yu was too weak to pay attention.
At this moment, he entrusted everything to the World Tree, not even wanting to control his own breathing.
[Prompt: Contact with the World Tree, exchange material energy, vitality +1]
[Prompt: Deep contact with the World Tree, exchange material energy, vitality +2]
[Prompt: Deep contact with the World Tree at Transcendent Level, exchange material energy, vitality +3]
...
[Prompt: Long-term deep contact with the World Tree at Transcendent Level, exchange a large amount of material energy, vitality +10]

Kyoto City, High School Entrance Examination Command Headquarters.
Senior examiners were holding a meeting under the leadership of Flower Evolution Monarch.
With the end of the instance, all the candidates exited the instance, and this year's college entrance examination finally came to an end.
Including the two Rank Nine powerhouses, the officials who had been on edge finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When was the last time the college entrance examination of the Soaring Dragon Empire had such an exciting event?
Fortunately, a master appeared in this instance and single-handedly killed two avatars of the Demon Gods, keeping the losses within an acceptable range.
You should know that the further you progress in the ranking exam copy, the more elite the examinees in the copy become.
If it weren't for Chen Yu, at least half of the remaining examinees in the copy would have died.
Even for the entire Soaring Dragon Empire, this would be an immeasurable loss!
"All of us owe him a favor."
Flower Evolution Monarch sighed.
"Such a talented and outstanding person, I guess we won't need this favor."
Azure Wave Monarch self-deprecatingly said.
"On the contrary, we might have to rely on him in the future."
"Who knows."
Flower Evolution Monarch smiled bitterly.
"Report!" A proctor walked into the conference room. "Ladies and gentlemen, there's been an issue with the ranking exam copy."
"What's the issue? Speak up," Flower Evolution Monarch said.
"We just reviewed the process of the ranking exam copy and discovered that a hidden plot appeared at the end of the copy," the proctor replied.
"Automatically appearing hidden plot? Show it to us," Flower Evolution Monarch said.
"Yes."
The proctor placed a white crystal on the conference table.
The crystal projected a series of rapidly passing scenes, depicting the plot scenes in the official ranking exam copy.
The first half of the plot was not much different.
The kingdom gathered its forces, mobilized the army, transmigrated to Howling Canyon, and attacked the Demon Dragon's main city.
They made swift progress, from the first city to the seventh city.
When the seventh main city was on the verge of danger, the Dark Demon Cult entered the scene and repelled the kingdom's forces.
Then, the Snowfield Giant City entered the scene and, together with the kingdom's forces, crushed the power of the princess and the Dark Demon Cult.
The original plot should have been that the princess was captured by the Snowfield Giant City's forces, taken back to the palace, and then the plot would end.
But in this playback of the plot, after the princess was taken back to the palace, the plot didn't end but continued for a short period of time.
During this time, Princess Delia took action, revealing her formidable strength as a Level 300 Silver Boss, ruthlessly killing, annihilating the queen and the high-ranking members of the Snowfield Giant City, and forcing the old king to abdicate.
Then, using thunderous means to eliminate dissidents, suppress all opposition, and incorporate the remnants of the Dark Demon Cult and the Snowfield Giant City into her own forces.
In the final still frame, Princess Delia wore a golden crown, draped in a royal robe, sitting on the throne, gazing into the distance with an indifferent expression.
"Is this the result of one playback or multiple playbacks?" Flower Evolution Monarch asked.
"Sir, we have reviewed it many times, and this phenomenon occurred every time," the proctor who brought the crystal answered.
"This..." Flower Evolution Monarch frowned.
The high-level managers present also began to discuss.
"Is this really Princess Delia?" one proctor couldn't help but say, "Wasn't she just a Level 100 ordinary boss?"
"Yeah, during the trial run of the pre-exam copy, Princess Delia never made any unusual moves," another proctor also said.
"In the NPC high-levels of the copy, their symbolic significance is greater than their actual significance, they only serve to drive the plot!"
"Have any of you seen Princess Delia take action?"
"I haven't seen her before."
"No."
"I've never seen her before, she's been a decorative role from beginning to end."
The examiners and supervisors who participated in the trial run of the instance shook their heads.
"Could it be that Princess Delia herself has this kind of strength and means, but just didn't show it during the instance storyline?"
"After all, this instance exists independently, without any other related instances to refer to."
"Could it be that something triggered a special mechanism during the exam process, causing unknown changes in the instance and allowing us to see the later storyline?"
"Are you saying that Princess Delia is a hidden powerhouse, that we only saw her pretending to be weak but not her true strength?"
"Yes, that's entirely possible."
"In the previous tests, did Princess Delia ever die? Did anyone attack her?"
"No, besides the candidates, no one else can enter the instance. In this ranking competition, Princess Delia didn't make a move, right?"
"Our judgment of Princess Delia is based entirely on the parameters of the instance appearance. During the instance, there was no battle storyline for her. Even if she appeared as a Level 1 ordinary monster, it wouldn't have any impact."
"Indeed, many NPCs that exist in related instances, with the timeline basically matching, will show completely different strengths in different instances."
"Everyone, we are not discussing Princess Delia's strength issue, but why this storyline suddenly appeared." A senior examiner knocked on the table, bringing the topic back.
"Could it be caused by the influence of the candidates in the ranking competition instance?" a examiner speculated, "The process of this ranking competition seems... extraordinary."
"In the instance, Princess Delia seemed to always be with Chen Yu, like a maid. Could it be..." a young examiner suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said loudly.
"Are you trying to say that our top scorer gave Princess Delia some benefits, so that she can dominate after the instance reset?" a supervisor showed a joking expression.
In an instant, the managers present all cast strange looks at the young examiner.
"Cough, just kidding, don't mind me." The young examiner suddenly felt extremely embarrassed and stopped speaking.
It is well known that instances are like scripts, and the people who clear them are the actors.
The script is fixed, even if the actors perform outrageously in one scene, it's only for that scene, the script itself won't change.
As for whether the script can be changed?
The current general view is that natural instances are derived from real events that occurred at a certain time and place.
Therefore, the basic storyline of the instance cannot be changed.
Unless the authority figure deliberately modifies the instance.
But the authority figure of the ranking competition instance did not make any relevant changes.
A candidate cleared the instance once and directly changed the basic storyline? This is simply too absurd!
Moreover, the basic storyline of the ranking competition instance has not changed, only an additional follow-up storyline has appeared.
Why did the follow-up storyline appear, they discussed for a long time but couldn't come to a conclusion.
In the end, they could only come to a non-conclusive conclusion: they have always misunderstood the role of Princess Delia.
"Just make the relevant records, don't dwell on it too much, let's continue the meeting." Flower Evolution Monarch could only make a final decision.
Although the appearance of this hidden storyline is a bit strange, it is not worth the attention of everyone.
The Great Thousand World is full of wonders.
It is not impossible for instances to naturally change.
The ranking competition has already ended, whether the follow-up storyline appears or not, it will not have any impact.
