Chapter 490: Origin Leaves
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Marvin was very interested in the Nature Leaves.
It had been one of his objectives on his trip to the Supreme Jungle.
But having what he was thinking about directly come out of Old Entâs mouth felt a bit uncomfortable.
Old Entâs shrewdness made it hard for people to adapt to it.
Marvin squinted. âWhat do I need to do?â
He didnât believe that group of old-fashioned Druids would give him Nature Leaves just because of his fame. They definitely needed something.
As expected, Old Ent gently explained, âMister Marvin, I felt the aura of some Nature Leaves on you⊠Of course, you learnt various things and might not care about these skills, but Nature Leaves are the only way for Rangers to learn magic and the most standard way of increasing their abilities. You should already be clear about that.â
âThe withering of the World Tree is not only related to Feinan, but also related to the safety of the whole Universe. I believe you should have been able to realize this with your knowledge.â
âNaturally, guarding the World Tree is our duty, not yours. But if you help us, we are willing to repay you.â
Marvin instantly answered, âI need to know what the so-called âhelpâ is!â
Old Ent paused for a moment before slowly saying, â[Crimson Wasteland].â
Marvin immediately turned around after replying, âNo way!â
Even though the Nature Leaves were valuable, the Crimson Wasteland was an extremely dangerous place. Marvin didnât need to risk his life for something like that!
What was the Crimson Wasteland?
It was a bloody battlefield.
It was a twisted plane where all kinds of lifeforms from the Universe gathered to fight each other.
Angels, Divine Servants, Demons, Devils, Evil Spirits, Beasts⊠and all kinds of Monsters!
That place was a killerâs wonderland, as well as a powerhouseâs paradise. It was a place where Grim Reapers liked to visit!
No one knew the origin of the Crimson Wasteland. It was said that after a terrifying war happened in a distant era, many ancient powerhouses fell. Their inheritances and treasures were buried in that mysterious land.
This legend was confirmed from time to time, as there would inevitably be more rumors of people digging out some Divine Treasure from a corner of the wasteland.
But to most people, this legend was just a joke.
The real purpose of this land lay in allowing people to improve through trial by fire.
Whether it was the God Realms, Hell, or the Abyss, they all acknowledged the Crimson Wastelandâs existence.
Only the most promising Elites among the Lesser Gods, Demons, and Devils, were qualified to join the fighting in the Crimson Wasteland. They would be subject to inhuman training there, fighting each other until they reached a certain limit before leaving this frightening area.
Although there werenât many God powerhouses there, anyone found there would be at least a Legend powerhouse.
That place was full of the Universeâs strongest beings and could be considered the Universeâs arena.
Courageous adventurers wouldnât rashly step foot in the Crimson Wasteland. Anyone who entered there by mistake wouldnât return alive.
Only those Legend Wizards who reached the limit of their lifespans might brave the danger of death to see if they could find something special in this mysterious land that could extend their lives.
Ordinary people definitely wouldnât go there on their own.
As for Marvin, although the Nature Leaves were valuable items, they definitely werenât worth that much.
He wasnât impulsive enough to go to the Crimson Wasteland only to get some Nature Leaves.
But before he left the room, Old Entâs deep voice echoed out once again. âPlease stay calm, Mister Marvin.â
âI didnât get to tell you the whole reward.â
Marvin slowly turned around, and said with an unpleasant expression, âIâm wondering whether you are trying to trap me or not. Do you think Iâm not aware what kind of place the Crimson Wasteland is?â
Old Ent had a helpless expression. âIt looks like the effects of our misunderstanding havenât been overcome yet. You still do not trust us.â
âIf not for the Councilâs lack of manpower, we would not entrust this matter to you.â
âAfter all, compared to what you would go through, we are going to be paying a lot more.â
Marvin frowned. âAlthough Nature Leaves are treasures, that clearly wouldnât be enough when the task is getting into the Crimson Wasteland.â
Old Ent nodded, expressing his agreement, before suggesting, âWhat if they arenât ordinary Nature Leaves?â
âFurthermore, there is an important piece of information related to you.â
âIf you are patient enough to let me finish my story, I think you will be willing to help.â
Marvinâs expression showed some indecisiveness.
He had a feeling that since Old Ent dared to say this, Marvin definitely wouldnât be able to resist the offer once he heard it.
What was the reward he was so confident in that he thought would convince Marvin to enter the Crimson Wasteland for sure?
The next second, a golden light appeared in Old Entâs palm.
Marvinâs breathing slowed. âOrigin Leaves!â
Marvin sat down, carefully listening to Old Entâs story.
After half an hour, he smiled bitterly while walking out of the treehouse.
Old Entâs reward indeed made it simply impossible for Marvin to refuse.
Three Origin Leaves, plus a treasure that could help him break through the bodyâs bottleneck!
If Old Ent had only offered the former, Marvin might have still been able to resist the temptation, but Marvin couldnât overlook the latter.
His biggest problem right now wasnât finding ways to train himself, but rather, the lawsâ restriction.
Although cultivating an Advanced False Divine Vessel could slowly break this bottleneck, it would take some time.
And Old Entâs method could greatly reduce this period. It was a kind of trick method.
Marvin knew the method was effective because it wasnât just in the Druidsâ history; he had also heard of it in the past.
Old Ent didnât deceive him about the existence of the method.
Marvin hesitated for a long time before finally agreeing to take this task.
Origin Leaves were the most precious Nature Leaves, taken from the top of the World Tree. They gathered the strongest power of the Nature God.
Three Origin Leaves were enough for the Migratory Bird Council to feel the pain of losing them.
Among those, the first leaf was treated as a down payment and was already in Marvinâs hands.
Just as Marvin had wanted, this Origin Leaf had an Advanced Shapechanging skill fused into it.
Marvin used the Origin Leaf and immediately acquired the following Ranger ability:
[Advanced Shapechanging â Royal Griffin]

[Description: After using the spell, the user will have the attributes and abilities of a Royal Griffin for three hours. Usable once daily.]
This was a very powerful ability.
The Royal Griffin was the ultimate evolution of the Griffins. It was even a rank higher than the Golden Griffin and was many times stronger than the Blue Griffins and other common Griffins.
Its melee abilities were just a bit weaker than those of Dragons!
