"Am I alone?"

"Of course, it's everyone together."

"Alright."

Chapter 227 The Great, Great, Great Compassion Tree King

Today is Thursday.

As is tradition for small shops in the summer, it's another crazy day.

So, after enjoying her massage, Ms. Ningguang got a free meal of fried chicken at the shop.

She doesn't actually like greasy food.

But no way.

Mr. Xia's chicken was so delicious that she couldn't resist it.

After finishing her meal, Ningguang thanked them and took her leave with Baishi.

Back in Yuehaiting's office, Ningguang sat in a chair and rested for a while with a languid expression.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes and said to her personal secretary, "Bai Shi, call Bai Xiao over here."

"Yes, Lord Ningguang."

Bai Shi responded softly and went out.

A short while later, her personal butler, Bai Xiao, walked into the office from outside.

"Lord Ningguang, what are your orders?"

"That shop next to the Summer Shop isn't ours, is it?"

"No, the shops in that area are too close to the Hall of Rebirth, and business wasn't good before, so they're not in our acquisition plan."

"Go and talk to those shop owners and acquire all the shops in that area. You can take your time with the other shops, but you need to hand over the deed to the shop next to Summer Shop by tomorrow afternoon."

"Yes."

Bai Xiao's expression turned serious, and he nodded earnestly.

--

Late at night.

Xia Zhi returned to her room.

He didn't apply for the minimum living allowance tonight; he opened the system panel to check.

Health points are full, mana points are full, divine power points are full, and spirit points are also full...

Except for the two eyes, which are sealed in gray data, all other attributes are normal green data.

Xia Zhi picked up the incense burner and lit a stick of [perfect calming incense].

He has finished the bottle of "An Shen Dan" he bought before, and he is now using a new bottle.

The familiar scent wafted through the air, bringing Xia Zhi a sense of peace.

Almost ready.

Xia Zhi went to bed, took out the [Dream Pillow], and prepared to enter a dream according to the premonition given by the [Mirror of Illusion].

Close your eyes and slowly drift off to sleep.

In a daze, he suddenly heard a system notification in his mind.

"The host has entered the second layer of the dream."

Xia Zhi suddenly opened his eyes and found himself in a different dream world.

The magnificent ocean of dreamlike bubbles was gone, replaced by an empty, dark void.

In some unknown distance, a few strange points of light were flickering.

Xia Zhi looked around at this desolate dream world. Relying on his fixed memories, he instantly recalled the effect of the [Dream Pillow].

[Sleeping on this item may result in entering a dream world: first layer (98%), second layer (2%).]

Although this 2% probability is twice as high as the 1% success rate of [Enhancement Crystal], he still hasn't successfully triggered it even once in more than two months.

Tonight is his first time entering the second layer of the dream world.

The second layer of the dream is a deep dream, and only people with strong mental power can occasionally enter this layer of the dream when they are dreaming, which is why this place looks so desolate.

"Could this be the reason why the [Mirror of Illusion] suggested I use [Entangled Fate] tonight?"

Xia Zhi seemed to be deep in thought.

"Is the person I'm destined to be with related to the second layer of the dream?"

Xia Zhi took out a mirror from his inventory and asked it a question about precognition.

Should I use [Entangled Bond] now?

The words "OK" appeared on the mirror.

Xia Zhi took out a light blue hollowed-out sphere from his inventory.

Choose to use.

The sphere shone with a bright light.

Immediately afterwards, the scenery before his eyes suddenly transformed into a dazzling starry sky.

The light emitted by the sphere grew brighter and brighter, eventually transforming into a golden shooting star that hurtled towards a point in the night sky, illuminating a beautiful constellation.

"Successfully used [Entangled Bond], and the bond partner has been drawn - the Great Compassion Tree King".

As the drawing ended, the dazzling starry sky before us dimmed, leaving only the beautiful constellation that had been lit up.

The starlight of the constellations gently shone on Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi felt many images suddenly flash through her mind.

In every scene, there is the same elegant and intellectual stranger.

She sat alone in deep thought, she talked with others, she shared her joys and sorrows...

This is... a snapshot of the life of that "Great Compassion Tree King".

Xia Zhi watched until the very last scene: she broke off a tender branch from a giant tree, her eyes filled with regret, and slowly disappeared from sight. Her lips parted slightly, and she uttered: Let the world completely forget me…

This sentence sounds so familiar.

The world...forgotten...

Xia Zhi thought for a moment and suddenly realized that this seemed to be the sentence that the Repeat Princess had been repeating in the dream world.

So, the Repeat Princess was originally the Great Compassion Tree King?

As the projection of fate ends, the starlight of the constellations dims.

A shooting star fell from the constellation and returned to his hand.

Xia Zhi looked at it; the original pinkish-blue sphere had now turned into a pure blue sphere.

He added it to his inventory and found that its item information had changed; the name had changed from "Entangled Fate" to "Encounter Fate".

【The Fate of Encounter】

Quality: Platinum.

Type: Disposable prop.

Characteristics: Destiny, Bonds.

Effect: A follow-up item obtained after using Entangled Bonds. Using it will open a special portal that guarantees an encounter with your destined partner.

Hidden effect: The initial affinity of the partner is friendly, and the affinity increases at a rate of 50%.

What are the follow-up items?

This was the first time Xia Zhi had encountered this usage situation.

But that's not important.

Importantly, judging from the previous glimpses of fate, it seems that the Great Tree King has already sacrificed himself to save the World Tree.

The girl in the dream now seems to be just a remnant of her consciousness.

Surely the suggestion from the Mirror of Illusion isn't to have him open a portal, go to the World Tree, find the wisp of consciousness of the Great Tree King, and rewind five hundred years to resurrect her?

His divine power was insufficient to sustain such a long period of reverse flow.

Xia Zhi took out the mirror and asked it a precognitive question.

"What should we do now?"

A line of text appeared on the mirror: "Use [Fate of Encounter]".

Xia Zhi asked again.
