Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1499 728: The Grand Finale (Ten-Thousand-Word Giant Chapter!)

Fortunately, the mentality of his alternate timeline self always remained youthful, preventing a drastic change in character.

However, Wen Guixin and others were different.

The originally cheerful and somewhat hot-tempered Wen Guixin had become more reserved.

Li Wenxi, too, due to her difficulty in adapting, had been speaking less lately.

She would always quietly gaze at Xu Xin, occasionally showing a faint smile.

Lou Fei'Er, on the other hand, had resumed her frequent habit of bothering Xu Xin.

She discovered that her alternate timeline self also took a liking to Xu Xin. But in that timeline, due to genetic modification, she had almost no desire and didn't act upon it.

Zeng Tao remained as silly and cute as ever.

The personalities of Wang Lei and Zhao Xiaochuan had not changed much either.

As for the survivors, they had all experienced varying degrees of change.

Everyone seems to have matured significantly.

This surprised the non-survivors.

"What's been going on with them lately?"

"Not sure, but things feel a bit odd…"

"They keep zoning out without reason, and then start laughing or suddenly slap themselves or something…"

"What's going on…a bit creepy…"

"Could it be a case of collective insanity?"

Definitely not.

Now, Xu Xin was certain.

In this world, there's only one of him.

The Xu Xin in the alternate timeline and the current Xu Xin have always been the same person.

Now, he remembered everything and fully understood everything that he had done.

"Looks like my plan went smoothly, exceeding the mission goals."

A hint of a smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"I didn't expect that the little creature I let loose in the Transmission Array to absorb the crimson crystal energy would ultimately play a decisive role."

The giant tentacle monster in the Transmission Array was actually reared by Xu Xin.

Xu Xin, like Xu Ying, had the ability to traverse time and space.

He had already explored the alien invaders' base long before.

After all, as soon as one reaches the other side of Earth, the pillar of purple-black light that pierced the sky was too conspicuous to miss.

Back then, although unaware that the Transmission Array was used to transport white crystal resources to the home planet, he knew this array was immensely important.

He decided to destroy this Transmission Array.

He quietly teleported into the purple-black light column.

His teleportation ability, similar to Xu Ying's, was not limited by the World Tree.

And the enormous purple-black light column over a kilometer in diameter perfectly concealed his movements.

Upon discovering that the purple-black light column was maintained by a type of crimson crystal, he left several giant beast cubs inside.

These cubs inherently possessed some mutant bloodlines and responded intensely to these crimson crystals, immediately devouring them!

The entire Transmission Array was like heaven to them!

And this was also the only thing Xu Xin did there.

He wanted these beast cubs to demolish the array through their consumption.

But unexpectedly, instead of destroying the Transmission Array, these cubs grew into beasts shuttling through the space-time corridors!

Since the Transmission Array was only ever used to transport white crystal resources to the home planet over millennia, and had not been used for any other purpose, these cubs grew comfortably inside.

Perhaps the alien invaders would wonder why the consumption of crimson crystals by the Transmission Array had increased.

And this time, the leader of the alien invaders activated the Transmission Array.

This led to the few tentacle beasts, who had always viewed the Transmission Array as their territory, getting agitated.

Indeed, they acted not to assist Xu Xin and the others, but solely to…defend their territory!

Thus, the giant spaceship was dragged into the space-time turbulence.

And those few tentacle beasts…

Presumably met the same fate.

With the spaceship entering the turbulent space-time, those tentacle beasts were naturally not spared.

The spaceship was destroyed, so they…

Might not have perished. After all, they have lived in the space-time corridors since infancy.

Or possibly…

Were directly obliterated by the blast issued by Xu Ying that destroyed the Transmission Array.

It's uncertain.

In any case, the Transmission Array was destroyed, and the tentacle beasts vanished without a trace.

And Xu Xin and his group became the beneficiaries.

"Is this considered a pleasant surprise?" Xu Xin laughed.

Just…

He looked at Keke lying on the sofa, exposing her belly.

"Where exactly did this little one come from?"

"I really haven't raised it…"

"Could it be that the future me sent it back?"

"Keke has been assisting me almost all the way, like it knows everything I've experienced…"

"Hmm…quite possible."

"Looks like I need to devise a way to prevent it from colliding with the future-born Keke."

...

"Found you."

Xu Xin found a small panda in the forest.

"Squeak? Squeak! Squeak squeak!!"

The little panda struggled desperately.

But soon was expertly soothed by Xu Xin.

Xu Xin was extremely familiar with the features of this little creature.

"Keke, you're now…"

Xu Xin raised the confused little creature and scrutinized it: "So tiny, less than a month old, right?"

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

His Keke had already been entrusted to Monster Wenwang for temporary return to a peaceful era on Earth.

And this one, was a newborn Little Keke he had hunted for three months!

These were three months outside of the World Tree!

During the first month, due to being outside for too long, Li Wenxi also ventured outside the World Tree.
