The giant tortoise that could swallow stars shocked Lu Yin greatly, and he wondered if Progenitor Chen's giant avatar was as big as this.
On the tortoise's back was a glowing tree that the Mavis Family called the Divine Tree. This tree had nurtured the entire Mavis Family.
Lu Yin's eyes turned into runes as he tried to see the rune lines of the Mavis Family. However, just like Everlasting Island and the Hall of Honor, he couldn't see the rune lines of these behemoths in the Neoverse.
Just as Lu Yin and Lulu approached the Ancestral Tortoise, its eyes suddenly twitched and its long neck turned to look in their direction.
The entire Mavis Family was shaken.
Atop the Divine Tree, the Mavis Family members walked out one by one and looked on in shock.
"The Ancestral Tortoise is actually looking behind us. What's going on?"
"Since ancient times, the Ancestral Tortoise has always been looking forward and has never changed directions. Quick, check! There must be something in that direction!"
The people chasing after the Ancestral Tortoise were stunned as well. They knew the history of the Mavis Family, and they also knew that the Ancestral Tortoise had always been looking forward. Now, it had actually turned around. This news was enough to shock the Neoverse.
Lulu stared blankly at the Ancestral Tortoise's huge eyeballs. She was so excited that she didn't know what to do. "The Ancestral Tortoise is looking at me?"
Lu Yin frowned as he stared at the Ancestral Tortoise's eyes. It was looking at him. There was no mistaking it; the Ancestral Tortoise was staring at him. What did that look mean?
Was it confused?
Was it thinking?
Lu Yin felt a chill run down his spine as he felt an uncontrollable sense of nervousness. Who knew how powerful such a huge creature was? Fortunately, he didn't sense any hostility from it. What he feared the most was that the Ancestral Tortoise would view the primeval surnames with hostility like some of the people from the Fifth Mainland.
The Ancestral Tortoise stared at Lu Yin for a full ten breaths before turning around and continuing to stare blankly ahead.
One by one, the Mavis Family members walked out of the void and looked at Lulu excitedly.
"Lulu, good child. Was the Ancestral Tortoise looking at you?" a silver-haired old woman stepped forward and held Lulu's hand.
All of the Mavis Family members looked at Lulu expectantly.
The Ancestral Turtle had been carrying the Divine Tree and the Mavis Clan for far too long. They had tried their best to communicate with the Ancestral Turtle, but the Ancestral Turtle had never paid any attention to them. Now that the Ancestral Turtle had moved, no one wanted to talk to it more than they did.
. "Lulu was stunned." I don't know..
"He's definitely looking at you. Good child, hurry up and talk to Lord Ancestral Turtle. Go to the front." The old woman pulled Lulu away as if she hadn't seen Lu Yin.
The Mavis Family excitedly followed Mavis..
Lu Yin blinked. Was he just going to abandon him like that?
... where was the Mavis?
"Alliance Master Lu, welcome to the Mavis Clan," a voice rang out beside him.
Lu Yin was shocked. He hadn't noticed anyone beside him, and when he turned around, he saw an old woman smiling kindly at him.
. and Lulu............. Lu.....
The old woman laughed, "Are you here to visit my Mavis Family as a junior?
.................... of hers......
. Lu Yin caught it.
"There are five billion star essence here. You can take them whenever you want, and the highest level of authority is still available.
You can urgently transfer twenty billion star essence. This is my greeting gift to you. "The Mavis Family members were shocked.
He had finally met a rich person. A truly rich person had given him five billion star essence as a greeting gift. This was too rich! Even before his trip to the Starfall Sea, Lu Yin had rarely had so much money. Moreover, he could urgently transfer twenty billion star essence, which was almost as much as his entire fortune.
The Mavis' generosity stunned Lu Yin. He looked at the Mavis with an unprecedented warmth, and the first thing that came to his mind was why she hadn't come earlier. He put the card away and bowed again. "Thank you for your gift, Senior. I-I'm truly embarrassed."
"Haha, it's rare for Alliance Leader Lu to come to our Mavis Family, so how can we not give you a greeting gift? I'm Cloudshadow Mavis, and I'm temporarily the elder of the Mavis Family. Alliance Leader Lu, please."
Lu Yin was grateful. "Thank you, Senior Cloudshadow. Please."
Cloudshadow Mavis was an existence that was second only to Lingzhi Mavis. Ever since Lingzhi Mavis had failed to break through to the Progenitor realm and died, she had become the true ruler of the Mavis Family. She was also the most important person that Lu Yin wanted to meet on this trip.
Lu Yin had originally been thinking about how he should face the Mavis Family, but Cloudshadow's greeting had left him dumbfounded. This Mavis Family member seemed to be very courteous to him.
Although the Mavis Family was wealthy, not everyone was qualified to receive a greeting gift, let alone one that was so large.
Five billion star essence was too much. Just thinking about it made Lu Yin's mouth go dry.
He followed Cloudshadow up the Ancestral Turtle, where he saw the strange environment of the Mavis Family.
The Ancestral Turtle was so large that it could swallow stars. Thus, there was a piece of land on its back that carried the Divine Tree.
"Outsiders who come to our Mavis Family will at most come to the Divine Tree as guests. Only a select few are qualified to climb it. Alliance Leader Lu, please." Cloudshadow smiled.
Lu Yin nodded and did not stand on ceremony. With his status and ability, he was definitely qualified to climb the Divine Tree.
Outsiders rarely appeared on the Mavis Family's Divine Tree, and when Lu Yin climbed up, he attracted the attention of many Mavis Family members.
The Ancestral Turtle was so large that it could illuminate stars, and the Divine Tree was large enough to cover it and nurture the entire Mavis Family.
Lu Yin felt that the Divine Tree was more like the Ancestral Turtle's umbrella.
The Mavis Family was probably just a small bug in the Ancestral Turtle's eyes.
The Mavis clansmen were scattered around the divine tree, and Lu Yin followed Cloud Shadow up the tree to a very tall branch. Although it was called a branch, it was actually more like a piece of land, as the divine tree's branches were capable of supporting stars.
"How majestic," Lu Yin praised as he followed behind Cloudshadow.
Cloudshadow brought Lu Yin to a simple wooden house that did not match the lifestyle of the Mavis Family that controlled the Fifth Mainland's economy.
"Alliance Master Lu, try the Divine Tree Tea," Cloudshadow gestured for him to try.
Lu Yin hurriedly accepted it, "Thank you, Senior." He took a sip, and a refreshing fragrance filled the air. Not only that, but his body also felt as if it had been baptized, and he felt a cooling sensation from inside out. "Good tea."
Cloudshadow smiled, "This is made from the bark of the Divine Tree. If Alliance Master Lu likes it, you can bring some back with you."
Lu Yin smiled, "Thank you, Senior." He put down the tea.
"Why didn't you accompany Lulu to meet the Ancestral Turtle?"
Cloudshadow smiled, "How can I leave an esteemed guest to the side?"
Lu Yin humbly replied, "It's just a visit, not an esteemed guest. You're too kind." From his point of view, Cloudshadow had the same thoughts as him. The Ancestral Turtle was not looking at Lulu, but at him. That was why Cloudshadow had not accompanied Lulu to meet the Ancestral Turtle. Otherwise, even if Elder Zen had come, the Mavis Family would have ignored him.
Cloudshadow sipped her tea and did not continue the topic of the Ancestral Turtle. "Alliance Master Lu, did you just say that the Divine Tree is magnificent?"
Lu Yin nodded and sighed, "Such a huge tree is indeed magnificent. It gave birth to the Mavis Family, and its branches can support the stars. It's a unique civilization."
"This shouldn't be the largest tree that Alliance Master Lu has ever seen," Cloudshadow said.
Lu Yin put down his teacup and sighed, "The Mother Tree is the largest tree I've ever seen. Compared to it, both the Divine Tree and the Ancestral Turtle can only walk on its branches."
"Yes, the Divine Tree's size is already inconceivable. It's impossible to imagine how a Mother Tree could exist in the universe. If the Divine Tree gave birth to the Mavis Family, then the Mother Tree gave birth to the entire human civilization," Cloudshadow sighed.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed, "Gave birth to the entire human civilization?
Not really. At most, it gave birth to a portion of humanity. "
"Alliance Master Lu, do you know why that tree is called the Mother Tree?" Cloudshadow suddenly asked.
Lu Yin shook his head. He had heard that the Mother Tree had given birth to the entire human civilization in the Astral Tree of Trees, but in his opinion, no matter how large the Mother Tree was, it couldn't have given birth to the entire human civilization. How could the Fifth, Sixth, and the previous four continents have been nurtured by a single Mother Tree?
Cloud Shadow Mavis smiled faintly. The tea in the cup turned into a thin stream and formed a pattern in the air. The thin stream turned into an irregular shaped land, which extended into five irregular shaped lands. Then, on the first land, the thin stream drew a big tree. The tree was so big that it almost covered the entire land. It spread out and covered the other five lands.
Lu Yin looked on in shock.
"This is the universe, the most ancient form of human civilization. The Mother Tree originally grew on the First Mainland, and when the First Mainland collapsed, the Mother Tree was connected to the Fifth Mainland. The Second, Third, and Fourth Mainlands all disappeared, and some of the people from the Fifth Mainland left with the Mother Tree. They became independent of the Fifth Mainland, forming the part of the universe that Alliance Master Lu has been to before," Cloudshadow explained slowly. She then waved her hand, and the stream disappeared.
This was the first time that someone had shown Lu Yin such a scene. Because of the Sixth Mainland's invasion, many people already knew that the human civilization had left the Six Mainlands, but very few knew the arrangement of the Six Mainlands and their original appearance. Even Lu Yin had only just found out about it.
"Is that what the beginning of human civilization looked like?" Lu Yin asked uncertainly.
Cloudshadow nodded, "My Mavis family has existed for a very long time, far longer than the Hall of Honor, and we have experienced many things. What you saw just now was the beginning of human civilization. The Mother Tree grew on the First Mainland, and the Daosource Sect existed on each of the Six Mainlands."
"How did those mainlands disappear?" Lu Yin asked as he stared at Cloudshadow.
Cloudshadow shook her head, "That's all I know. If Elder Lingzhi was still alive, she might have been able to give you an answer, but she's dead, and the history of my Mavis family has been buried."
"Even the Hall of Honor wants to know the history of my Mavis family. What a pity, what a pity."
