Chapter 201 - Day 1

"So what should we do now?" asked the Grand Elder. After finding out they had only nine days to finish everything and take back their attributes from Sen. He was willing to do anything to everything for him.

Empress said Sen can't do anything that day since the attributes were adjusting in his body and he needed one more day to for complete transformation.

With that, the conference came to an end. Sen and the empress left first and went to the training grounds to try out his new power. The purpose of inserting different attributes inside Sen's body was very simple. When the attributes remain inside his body for more than seven days, they will create a place for them inside his soul sea. And after the other sage takes back their attributes, the places created by them will start absorbing attributes of the same type.

In a few days or months, Sen would become the holder of multiple attributes. After trying out some of his new powers, Sen went to the empress's bedroom and hit the bed there.

No one in the palace asked him or said anything to him as it was known to everyone by then that both of them were in a relationship of husband and wife. Like that the day came to an end. From the next day onwards Sen had to complete missions for nine consecutive days and find out the location of Yang Emperor's secret weapon.

The next morning Sen woke up early and got ready for his first-day mission. As usual, he descended to the down floors and had lunch with his family. The only difference was he was not in the Kalinga Palace but instead was in the Sage Palace.

One more thing that was new was the addition of some new members in their usual morning breakfast. Including Sen's family, the Sage empress, Nex, and Nagarin had also joined him for breakfast.

After the mission was over, it was time for allotment of missions. Grand Elder, Aditya, Sir Jean, and Nex were asked to go to the end of the Sage world and collect the Xo Dun Hyu plant from there. It was a special type of plant whose property can alleviate the pain caused by attribute adjusting in Sen's body.

For the rest, they were asked to help the empress in preparing some other pills and a special medicinal bath that Sen had to take after returning from his mission that day.

Now for Sen, his first-day mission was to find the clues about the Yang Emperor's secret weapon, and for that, the best place was his tomb.

Years ago, when the Yang Emperor died, the Sage Emperor of that time took his body and buried it in a holy pond. But after some days something miraculous happened that even gave a shock to the Sage emperor of that time.

The water of the holy pond began to dry, and a small tree was growing out of it. Since the tree was growing by absorbing the water of the holy pond, the sage emperor of that time had a hunch that the tree would grow into a world tree.

And as expected, some months later, its growth exceeded the size of the Yang Emperor's mansion of that time.

Since there was a constant threat in the side of light from the side of dark, the Sage emperor of that time devised a brilliant plan, and executed it secretly, without anyone knowing.

He shifted the entire holy pond along with the small world tree to a barren planet devoid of water and any form of life form. And let it grow for some years. Since the tree was literally going on top of the holy pond, it also inherited the properties of the holy water.

As the name suggests, holy water. In ancient times it was used to ward away evil spirits and cleanse the soul from any evil or impurities.

So as the world tree inherited the Holy Lakes property, its name also changed to the "Holy tree of the World."

But the Sage emperor of that time had already foreseen this and knew about one more property of the tree that was not known to others. And that was to create barriers around it. Since the tree was growing on the holy tree and the Yang Emperor was buried there, it inherited the will of the Yang Emperor, which was to protect his peoples and his beloved one.

After a few years when the tree grew out big enough to be called a full-fledged world tree, the Sage emperor moved all his people to that planet and changed the name of that barren planet to sage planet.

Since only good-hearted people migrated onto that planet, the world tree used to absorb some little amount of Yang from everyone. Just within a decade, the tree became large enough that it was covering the skies of the sage planet.

The Sage emperor at that time was already aware of the population growth, and to counter that he devised another project. The motive was simple, cut down some parts of the Holy tree of the World and plant it on different planets, to give them a similar protective feature as the first sage planet.

Within a decade hundreds of planets began to grow the Holy tree of the World on them and started accepting population from the main sage planet.

Once again, the Sage Emperor was flabbergasted when he found one more new feature of the Holy tree of the World that he didn't know before.

When a seven hundred holy tree exits in a particular place, a new bigger, larger, and stronger barrier gets formed in that place.

And with this feature the once alone Sage planet expanded to a sage world, blessed with the protection of the Holy tree of the World.

Sen's work was to pin down the location of the original Holy tree of the World that had been growing since thousands of years ago and find clues from the tomb of the body of the Yang Emperor.

After hearing everything from the empress, Sen asked the tree she was talking about and the tree on which the sage palace was located were they the same place or different.

And got disappointed when the Empress replied with a "no."

Sen tried to ask the empress some more clues about the tree, but she herself had no clue about it.

Seeing everyone was going out of the sage palace for their own missions, Sen too departed the palace and flew to the top of the world tree.

From there he was able to get a clear view of the planet. Excluding the place from where he was standing, he couldn't find any other world tree on that planet.

If it had been the old Sen, he would have used divine sense or searched for some clues in a library. But after inheriting that many attributes, he devised a new way of searching.

He remembered the empress was mentioning that all the trees, world trees, and Holy tree of the World are interconnected to each other. So to find out the whereabouts of the oldest Holy tree of the World he thought of connecting himself with the world tree on which he was standing at that time.

This time he didn't close his eyes, neither did he touch the tree, and instead he made an energy ball in between his hands.

This energy ball was made out of pure life energy and creation energy inherited from his family members. The moment the ball materialized in between his hands, the world tree began to shake and glow white.

Sen was directly communicating with the tree's core and asking about the whereabouts of the oldest Holy tree of the World, but all he could find was that it was not anywhere near.

According to the core of the world tree, the oldest Holy tree of the World was planted on a planet two-star millennia away from there.

Sen became sure of it; he had to travel a long distance soon, so before going he informed the Sage empress about it through telepathy.

Now as informed by the tree, he was two-star millennia away from it. And to cover that long-distance the easiest way was to use teleportation.

He was about to use the spell when suddenly

"Time in physics is operationally defined as "what a clock reads". Time is one of the seven fundamental physical quantities."

"Time is the never-ending continued progress of existence and events. It happens in an apparently irreversible way from the past, through the present to the future.
