NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1025: The Shock of Wood Release
"In my eyes, you are still just a child. I am much older than you." Shisui had a certain kindness towards Eric, as if he was watching his junior grow up.
"More than a decade ago, you looked to be in your twenties. More than a decade has passed and I'm almost middle-aged, but you still look the same as before. Why? If it's inconvenient to say, just pretend I didn't ask."
This is the question weighing on Eric's mind, of course it is not even a problem for Uchiha Shisui.
"My life span is relatively long, which is normal. The strong always have some means to extend their life span. This world is far more vast and complicated than you can imagine. There are always unsatisfactory moments in life, just like you are now. You lost the competition, but there is no need to be depressed."
Uchiha Shisui had some advice for this former young boy. After all, everyone goes through times of confusion.
"Why do you spend so much time helping me? I remember this is only the second time we meet?" It was normal for Eric to be in a low mood, but Eric didn't know why Shisui could be so patient with him when they met for the second time.
"In fact, I also went through a period of confusion before. At that time, I was caught in a dilemma between my family and the village. Reality slapped me hard in the face. Until later, I met the adults. The adults told me that as long as I am strong enough, I can overcome all difficulties and solve all problems. If the problem cannot be solved, it means that you are not strong enough.
Of course, this is the thinking of the strong. What I want to tell you is that strength can be improved slowly. Don't be too impatient, young man. By the way, you can wait a little longer. In 3 minutes, you will see the real power. "
"What do you mean? What is true power?" Eric didn't know what Shisui meant.
"Don't worry, just come with me to the edge of the desert and you'll find out." Shisui pointed to a large area of desert around him, and lifted Eric with one hand and reached the edge of the desert in an instant. Eric only felt a flash in front of his eyes, and then he appeared at the edge of the desert. This speed was far beyond Eric's visual reaction.
This also made Eric understand why it was so difficult for him to catch Shisui.
"Just look at the desert quietly, and the next scene will be unforgettable for you."
Sure enough, Eric soon felt the earth trembling, the ground began to crack, and the whole earth seemed to be shaking.
"earthquake?"
"Don't worry, it's not an earthquake. Just watch. Even if it is an earthquake, there are no buildings here. Don't worry about being crushed to death." Shisui joked.
The next moment, countless towering trees grew out from the cracks in the ground. Yes, right before Eric's eyes, he saw these trees being blown up like balloons, constantly twisting and growing taller. In a very short time, the entire desert was covered with forests.
The whole process took less than 5 seconds. The area that was a desert just now had turned into a lush forest. Many of the big trees even looked no different from those that were hundreds or thousands of years old, leaving Eric stunned.
Eric didn't know if anyone else witnessed this scene, but his first reaction was that he might be high. However, Shisui motioned for Eric to touch it himself.
Eric stretched out his hands and touched the bark of the tree. It was as rough as normal bark. He picked a few leaves and they also had the fragrance of leaves.
Looking at tree after tree, each one was a real tree without any fakeness. The yellow sand on the ground still retained the high temperature of the sun.
"What happened?" Eric didn't understand how these big trees suddenly appeared. Not to mention the water shortage in the entire desert, the speed at which these big trees grew was too terrifying. Yes, it was terrifying.
The series of events that happened before him were completely beyond Eric's understanding.
"Are you surprised and frightened? Actually, there is no need to be. We are just planting trees to transform the desert. These trees are very resilient. We will then prepare underground pipelines to transport fresh water. This forest will be able to stand forever in the desert, and the entire ecosystem will be transformed."
Su Xiuyu was the one in the sky above the forest. The establishment of the entire Yan Empire was driven by Su Xiuyu. Otherwise, where would the Yan Empire's equipment come from? It couldn't be really dug from the desert, right?
The desalination plant uses the thermonuclear reaction technology from the Marvel world - a large Ark reactor, so the electricity price is very low. Even if it is used directly for desalination of seawater, there will still be considerable profits. This is the power of technology.
As for the operation of Yan Country, Su Xiu Yu would not worry about it. After all, the real leadership were all people appointed by Su Xiu Yu, and they were all members of the Uchiha clan, so there was no need to worry about the future direction of this country.
This time, Su Xiu Yu came simply to transform the desert environment. After all, it was too easy for Su Xiu Yu, who possessed the Wood Release, to plant trees. Moreover, the trees grown by Su Xiu Yu's Wood Release had strong vitality and could survive without any watering.
However, the strong roots of trees can easily cause groundwater consumption. Excessive groundwater consumption can easily lead to ground subsidence problems. For safety reasons, many irrigation networks will still be arranged in the forest.
"Is this forest someone's ability?" Eric suddenly realized that this was definitely some kind of special ability. Just like he could control metal, someone could control trees.
"Yes, this is Master Xiu Yu's ability, and the area here is only a small area. For Master Xiu Yu, it may be as simple as breathing." Shisui patted Eric's shoulder, "Don't have to have such a heavy psychological burden, you can still continue to grow."
After Shisui left this time, Eric thought a lot. With hatred in his heart, Eric finally decided to pack his bags and leave the country where he had lived for more than ten years.
……
After planting trees, Su Xiuyu had no intention of staying and used his spatial ability to return to New York. As soon as he returned to the study, he was interrupted by Raven who pushed the door open.
"I remember I told you to knock before coming in, right? You should knock even more when I'm not around." Su Xiuyu looked helpless. More than ten years have passed since he adopted Raven. Now Raven is a senior in college, but the grown-up Raven is obviously not as obedient as he was when he was a child.
"Is there any secret of yours that I shouldn't know? If no one is inside when you push the door open, I won't touch your things."
