Abstract: This is the second paper in a series of three, where we take on the unified theory of non-Archimedean group actions, length functions and infinite words. Here, for an arbitrary group $G$ of infinite words over an ordered abelian group $Lambda$ we construct a $Lambda$-tree $Gamm{a}_G$ equipped with a free action of $G$. Moreover, we show that $Gamm{a}_G$ is a universal tree for $G$ in the sense that it isometrically embeds in every $Lambda$-tree equipped with a free $G$-action compatible with the original length function on $G$.
