Childhood Anime Grand Tour

Chapter 88, the final chapter: Putting the roots in the soil.

As the crystal's power disappeared, the entire Tree of Life trembled and plummeted downwards at an extremely fast speed.

"Oh no, we're going to fall!!"

My mind was filled with crystals just now, but now I realize that without the levitation stone, the Tree of Life will also perish.

Liu Yufei instantly appeared in the space. Sure enough, after absorbing the power of the flying stone crystal, the divine tree bore another fruit.

[Paramecia type, Gravity Fruit!!]

"Isn't it the Float-Float Fruit? Never mind, saving the day is the priority!!"

Originally, Liu Yufei thought that the divine tree should bear the Floating Fruit, but the divine tree was more powerful than he imagined and directly bore the Gravity Fruit.

As for whether the Gravity Fruit or the Float-Float Fruit is stronger, fans have many different opinions. But there is no doubt that the abilities of both fruits are very overpowered, but the Gravity Fruit does have more potential than the Float-Float Fruit.

Although Laputa's upward speed was not fast, its downward speed was extremely fast. Fortunately, Liu Yufei appeared in time, and the power of the fruit was instantly transmitted to the entire Tree of Life, which slowed down the speed of the fall.

The guard robots were still flying in the air. Seeing this, Liu Yufei had no choice but to put them all into his space. Although his space could not yet accommodate intelligent organic beings like humans, it could still accommodate inorganic beings like robots.

But then Liu Yufei was stumped. The Tree of Life was too big to fit in his space, and since he already had one tree, there was no need to plant another.

The key issue is that the Divine Tree doesn't seem to want to absorb the Tree of Life. If it did, it could at least produce some kind of Wood Fruit! But this idea has already been tried in the world of Princess Mononoke, where those giant trees are no smaller than the Tree of Life.

"Where should we put such a big thing?"

Travelers, there's a place to put this big tree!

"Ah! Dog, you're back!!"

"Ah! You idiot, I'm not called Doggy, I'm your tour guide, please show some respect."

"Okay, dog, where do you want to go..."

Just as I was about to suggest where to place the Tree of Life, a little creature poked its head out from the canopy—it was the fox-squirrel from before.

"Hey, little guy, you're alright! That's great!!"

Liu Yufei wasn't sure if this was the first one he encountered, but after looking around, he only found one; there were originally three or four.

The immense impact of the fall had terrified the little guy, and he still looked at Liu Yufei with fear. Liu Yufei immediately felt a pang of guilt and said:

"So many amazing creatures, and you're the only one left!! That's such a shame!! Dog, can it enter the space?"

[Travelers, currently, should be able to travel to almost anything except living humans!!]

Fortunately, good news finally arrived. Regardless of whether the little guy wanted it or not, under the control of the Gravity Fruit, the little guy was instantly taken into the space.

Meanwhile, the divine tree, under Liu Yufei's control, flew away into the distance.

Zhagu, Pazu's hometown, Pazu's master looked at the half-sun on the horizon, radiating a golden-orange light, and thought of his good apprentice Pazu.

Over the years, he had long regarded Balu as his own child. As the saying goes, a mother worries when her son travels a thousand miles. Although he, as Balu's master, supported Balu's dream from the bottom of his heart, this worry still lingered.

Soon, a huge shadow drifted toward the town, and everyone's eyes were drawn to the sky.

"what is that?"

"A tree that flies in the sky?"

"Ah! In the sky! Laputa?"

The people on the ground also kept the legend of Laputa in their hearts, and when they saw the big tree fluttering in the sky, they all began to speculate.

“巴鲁！！！”

Only Master Pazu, watching the large tree falling from the sky, slowly uttered Pazu's name!

But soon, the townspeople awoke from their reverie and began to flee, fearing that the giant tree would fall upon the town.

The tree stopped above the mine. Because of the mine's long history of operation, there was a deep, cliff-like pit next to Balu's old house. At that moment, the Tree of Life slowly descended into the pit.

As Liu Yufei manipulated his abilities, all the surrounding rubble began to collapse, and the roots of the Tree of Life grew rapidly, taking deep root in the soil!

Although everyone was terrified, their curiosity compelled them to gaze at the Tree of Life from afar!

At that moment, originating from the Tree of Life, beams of green light spread outwards, and golden light began to scatter across the earth.

The once barren mine, after being bathed in golden light, burst into bloom with flowers and green grass, filling the entire valley with vibrant spring colors.

The driver, who had been about to flee, stopped in his tracks. Looking at the flowers surrounding his feet, a smile spread across his face, followed by a curse:

"Oh no! What will happen to the mine? My job!!"

The entire town witnessed this miraculous scene, and Grandpa Pom emerged from the deep mine shaft, gazing at the Tree of Life standing in the distance.

"Laputa, well done!! The glory of the Della clan has finally shone upon the earth! Well done, young man!!"

The miracle soon stopped, and the once barren valley, devoid of any vegetation, now resembled a park. Although mining was no longer an option, with this giant tree, developing tourism wouldn't be a bad idea!

"Dad, I want to go play by the big tree!!"

Adults are always wary, only children's hearts are pure. Master Pazu instinctively wanted to refuse little Maggie's request, but ultimately looked at the big tree in front of him and said:

"Go on, and remember to come back soon!!"

"Yay! Thank you, Dad..."

As she spoke, little Maggie ran off happily. Little Maggie didn't really want to see the big tree; she wanted to see if Palu, who was standing next to the tree, had returned.

Laputa has finally landed, just as Shida said, taking root in the soil, living with the wind, spending the winter with the bamboo, and singing the praises of spring with the birds.

No matter how amazing your weapons are, or how many pitiful robots you can control, you can't survive once you leave the land.

The destruction of Laputa had no impact on the people of the earth, just as the establishment of Laputa could not purify this corrupt land.

But the Edo Tensei also needs to continue. Even without Laputa, they still need to survive. Perhaps their technological development will not be fast, but they will never abandon anyone who is slow to move forward.

Perhaps they can find another path! Perhaps! Perhaps!!

Perhaps they will rebuild Laputa again!! As Muska said, Laputa will not perish, but will be reborn again and again! But as long as Sheeta is there, Laputa will forever remain a utopia of the spiritual world.

"Another tiring trip, dog, can't there be a more cheerful world? I'm completely numb!!"

Traveler, if your soul is noble, every world is full of light! If your soul is base, all you will see is suffering.

"Damn it, I'll teach you a lesson! Don't worry, although I don't have Ashitaka's eyes, my heart is definitely cleaner than Muska's right now!! What's the next world? Can we postpone it a bit? I'm a little tired!!"

[Searching... Next stop, the world of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind!]

"What the heck? Are you obsessed with the old man? Why is it always the animated world again? Can't you choose something else?"

The tour route is pre-planned; please follow the route provided by the tour guide and do not stray from the group!

"Hey dog, you're messing with me! Why do I travel? It's because my soul isn't free! And now you're controlling me, what's the point of my trip? Besides, look, where's the tour group here?!"

【There's nothing I can do about this, traveler. I'm just an employee, and look at everyone else these past two years, who's had a good time?!】

"I don't care! I'm quitting the game!!"

Although Liu Yufei said he was quitting the game, he knew he couldn't actually quit. The key point was that he didn't really want to quit; he was just trying to scare the director.

【No way! This industry is incredibly competitive right now. How about this, I'll extend your leave a little longer? Three years, which is perfect for the next big thing – that's my absolute authority!!】

The young director jokingly added, and Liu Yufei, of course, knew he was doing it on purpose; after all, he had to go eventually, and there was no turning back. At this moment, the young director finally revealed his true intentions:

Travelers, please rate this trip's service!

"And you dare to give a review? One, pshaw..."

Liu Yufei almost blurted out that all the other review systems were positive, but his system was negative! The key point was that Liu Yufei didn't know if this was true or not, since he was only in front of Xiao Dao right now.

In the end, Liu Yufei still gave it the highest rating. After all, even if this guy did nothing, Liu Yufei knew that in the vast world ahead, the only one who could accompany him to the end was probably this unprofessional tour guide.

Of course, Liu Yufei isn't as lonely as before, because now there are dozens of guardian robots here, and of course, a fox-squirrel!

"Little guy, come here, let me pet you a couple of times!"

The little guy didn't seem too happy and stayed behind the robot, but Liu Yufei gave him permission, and the Gravity Fruit activated, causing the little guy to fly towards Liu Yufei involuntarily.

The little guy struggled incessantly in the air, but all to no avail, and soon became Liu Yufei's captive.

"Haha, I'm a cat owner now!!"

In his past life, he couldn't even support himself, let alone raise a cat, and now the little guy was utterly hopeless. Anyone who has ever owned a cat knows that there are several levels of skill involved in serving this little master.

The highest level is when your master is devoted to you, visits you every night, and enjoys it immensely. The next level is slightly lower; if you serve him well, perhaps one day your master will be in a good mood and reward you.

Of course, there are even lower levels. You're just a cat owner, responsible for scooping poop! Liu Yufei is now at an even lower level, which is simply, "I have a cat," that's all.
