Global Lords: My Territory Heart Is a World Tree

Chapter 297: Chapter 1: Return to Cuiwei Star

Cuiwei Star—Lord Competition Service Center, Teleportation Service Center.

Lin Yu opened his eyes to a familiar, slightly sci-fi room. Seeing the green lights on the walls, he knew he had returned to Cuiwei Star.

The first thing he did after getting up was check on his avatar’s condition.

He closed his eyes. After a brief daze, he opened them again to the sight of his territory. Since his avatar was fused with the World Tree, his perspective was that of the tree.

Looking down from an altitude of 3,000 meters, everything in the territory seemed minuscule.

The two- to three-hundred-meter-high forest surrounding the World Tree looked like blades of grass, and the territory’s denizens looked like ants.

Since his main body was on Cuiwei Star, free from the interference of its senses, he could experience the World Tree’s sensations more profoundly.

For example, when he instinctively tried to move, he found himself immobile. Only the branches swayed gently, and the rootlets shifted slowly.

He quickly adapted to the sensation of being immobile. Once he was used to it, Lin Yu began learning to adjust the World Tree’s perception. The World Tree, after all, had no eyes. What he perceived as "sight" was merely a sensory perspective born from his human habits.

The World Tree’s perception was similar to wave-based senses like radar or sonar, but far more complex and profound. Combined with energy perception and some other inexplicable elements, it allowed the World Tree to clearly perceive everything within the territory.

Lin Yu’s own soul strength limited him, preventing him from observing the entire territory. However, having controlled and merged with a large portion of the land alongside the World Tree before he left had greatly strengthened his soul. Now, he could perceive roughly one-third of the territory at once.

The moment he unleashed his perception, a massive amount of information flooded Lin Yu’s consciousness. Thankfully, he was fused with the World Tree. Otherwise, his brain would have undoubtedly been fried.

With the help of the World Tree—a veritable supercomputer—Lin Yu sorted through the information he had perceived.

He was then gratified to "see" that the territory’s leadership had gotten busy in his absence, carrying out their work according to his prior instructions.

After adapting for a while longer, Lin Yu learned to adjust his perception. One moment, he would pull his viewpoint high above to get a commanding overview of the entire territory; the next, he would attach his perspective to one of the denizens, following them on their way and experiencing their non-human life up close.

’Hmm... just like what I used to do when I was in the territory. Now that I’ve learned to adjust my perception, I can use this god’s-eye view to check any information I want, whenever I want.’

The difference was, his previous god’s-eye view was enabled by the system, whereas this one was achieved by merging with the World Tree.

After confirming his avatar hadn’t been kicked back to Cuiwei Star by the competition organizers, and experiencing its perspective for a little while longer, Lin Yu shut down its senses. He let it return to being a passive tool and switched his consciousness back to his own body.

’Ahhh~ I feel so slow again!!’

Having switched back to his main body, Lin Yu felt the frailty of his own form all the more acutely. He’d gone from being a supercomputer back to an old, clunky PC.

For now, his consciousness (soul) couldn’t handle processing two different perspectives simultaneously. He would just have to adapt over time.

Of course, if his consciousness (soul) continued to strengthen, or if the hardware—his brain—was further enhanced (through tiering up), the adaptation time should shorten.

’Sigh, I’d better hurry up and increase my strength. Even though I got a nice boost of experience from the World Tree, I’m still leagues behind it.’

Yesterday, while fused with the World Tree to control the newly acquired territory, the tree had fed a significant amount of energy back into his body. This had instantly raised him to the maximum level for the Excellent tier. It was a shame he was only Excellent tier; if his tier were higher, things would have been much better.

-----------------

It was safe to say his level was in a class of its own within the territory. Besides Manqiluo, whose level was close, everyone else was far behind him. The top-echelon members of the territory were currently around level 30.

Since leveling slowed down significantly at higher levels, Lin Yu estimated that his people wouldn’t be able to reach level 40 until the third phase began.

’What a shame. If my tier were just a little higher, my stats would be so much better.’

Having seen the incredibly high stats of the few Legendary Heroes in his territory, Lin Yu could only look at his own and feel they were pathetic.

"Why can’t I use the ’Hero Tier Enhancement Crystal’ on myself!!!"

Thinking of the remaining ’Hero Tier Enhancement Crystals’ in the territory’s warehouse, Lin Yu wanted to roar at the heavens to vent the frustration filling his heart. It was the immense disappointment of seeing a mountain of treasure right in front of you but being unable to touch it for some unknown reason.
