World Tree

The teacher's guidance?

Is this referring to... the strongest member of the human race, the only true god in the world today, the "Great Axe Founder"?

Lin Yan seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing what the Venerable Ancestor Tree said.

Throughout this entire incident.

The Venerable Ancestor Tree had always remained hidden behind the scenes. If he truly wanted to stop the appearance of those numerous Immortal Zerg Warriors, it would have been as simple as a thought.

However, not wanting to alert the enemy, they simply watched the situation unfold.

The fact that a mere 300,000 Cosmic level warriors and tens of billions of residents of the Imperial Capital Star could prompt an Alien Race Universe Venerable to willingly jump out and die speaks volumes about the disparity in the scales of power.

If Lin Yan put himself in his shoes, he would have done the same.

It sounds cruel, but that's the rule of the universe!

Let alone the fact that the target this time is a Universe Venerable.

Even though Lin Yan had previously ordered Elder Si Fanqi to lead a team to kill Yao Hai and Jeffries, he only said that he wanted to control the scope of the battle as much as possible so that ordinary people could survive, but the primary goal was still to kill those two Immortal God.

During a mission, it is perfectly normal for Life Planet to face mass extinction.

It is inevitable and impossible to prevent.

Take the assassination of Lin Yan in the Wu Long Star Domain as an example. In the detailed investigation and follow-up handling by the Virtual Universe Company, thousands of planets were completely wiped out due to the Zerg's retaliation!

This is war!

Even if the Virtual Universe Company modifies the planet where the genius resides to ensure his safety within the planet, it seems like there's no room for error.

However, if the Zerg Infiltration Organization were to directly detonate a High-class Fire God Origin Crystal, comparable to Feng Wang expert's Self-destruct, it's easy to imagine that no matter how much safety modifications are made, it would be impossible to prevent or withstand it.

Of course, such extreme cases are generally not considered.

After all, those geniuses are not worth paying such a price.

Lin Yan, who was worth such a price, was someone they needed to Soul Control, not to kill.

In the face of Clan War, especially against truly powerful beings who traverse the universe, any one of them possesses terrifying World Destroying power. A planet? In the face of those beings, it's as easy as toy to knead.

Therefore, in all matters concerning Clan War, there must be no leniency.

The Virtual Universe Company has its own reasons for arranging Core Member; points, treasures, and opportunities are secondary.

The purpose of choosing Cultivation Mission at the Cosmic level is primarily to increase practical experience, break free from the fixed mindset of the academic school, and explore one's own potential in the face of life and death.

As Domain Lord level official, he wields considerable power. During this period, he remains under the protection of the Virtual Universe Company, and the tasks he is given do not pose significant danger, but they are a crucial process.

This is a process of "making people see, making people think, and making people do".

During the course of their missions, they face different situations, learn about the dark side of the world, and have the right to make their own "choices".

Strengthen their beliefs and firm their will.

Because... once you reach the World Lord level, you will truly step onto the Outer Domain Battlefield and experience those brutal and bloody Clan War.

Even those who claim to enjoy killing, killing one or a hundred is nothing, but what about killing tens of thousands, millions, or hundreds of millions of lives?

Your own beliefs will be put to a huge test!

Wars on Earth can cause many soldiers to develop psychological problems, let alone the bloody and terrifying Outer Domain Battlefield.

Especially on Outer Domain Battlefield, there are all sorts of illusions and temptations that can amplify one's emotions. If one's will is not firm enough and one lacks self-discipline, it is easy to doubt oneself, leading to mental breakdown and death. Many powerful individuals have died as a result.

In fact.

It's not just these warriors who need inner perseverance; for pillars of the race like "Venerable Ancestor Tree," another kind of perseverance is also required.

For the weak, the community is a source of support, because only through the unity and strength of the community can they survive.

For geniuses, it is through the nurturing and guidance of their community that they gradually become powerful.

Even the countless warriors on Outer Domain Battlefield can exchange their merits for various equivalent rewards in the form of "military merits".

However, the stronger a group is, the more sacrifices it requires for the group to grow stronger.

Those cosmic lords need to make sacrifices and shoulder the responsibilities of their entire race! It is through their endless years of dedication that the treasures of these races have been accumulated.

But the most important one is the Great Axe Founder.

As the Universe's Strongest among the human race, and also the one who possesses the most supreme Supreme Treasure! Even in ordinary times, he would give away Supreme Treasure to the race without asking for anything in return, like a great Tribe Leader who takes care of and protects the race.

The weak suffer when they go it alone, but the Universe's Strongest travel alone are very carefree. Their strength stands at the top of the cosmic pyramid, and they can obtain many Supreme Treasure. They only need a few Supreme Treasure when they are alone, and the others are generally useless, so they are very carefree.

However, if one has the ties to their community, one must be careful in doing things, and one must also continuously contribute to the community and nurture future generations.

"This must be the 'responsibility' that Venerable Ancestor Tree spoke of," Lin Yan sighed inwardly.

As people become stronger, the relationships between things also change.

For the Great Axe Founder, the human race was more of a "burden" and could not help him at all. On the contrary, once the Great Axe Founder fell, this great peak race of the Primordial Universe, even with its towering edifice, would eventually collapse.

But!

The Great Axe Founder did not think that way, but rather regarded the human race as a "responsibility".

The reason why Venerable Ancestor Tree disregarded gains and losses to revive these people was that even among them, there might not be a single person who could break through to immortality in the future.

But that's not important.

I saved them only because I hadn't saved them before.

He is putting his principles into practice and fulfilling his responsibilities.

This happened because of his choice, so the outcome of this matter should also be a satisfactory result due to his choice.

Lin Yan watched from afar.

The illusory Imperial Capital Star solidified from the reversed spacetime, and the lives that had just passed away came back to life.

What Lin Yan saw was the benevolence of the Venerable Ancestor Tree beneath that ruthless mask worn due to Clan War.

That is human kindness.

Whoosh!

The Venerable Ancestor Tree appeared before them in a flash.

The imposing figure looked at Lin Yan with gentle eyes. "Lin Yan, I will protect your safety while you stay in the Ganwu Universe Country, so you don't need to worry."

"Certainly..."

He smiled and said, "When you go further in life, you'll have to rely on yourself."

Upon hearing this, both the Qianwu Country Lord and King Tong Nan were shaken, their expressions varying.

Given their status, they would naturally be better able to understand the identity of the Venerable Ancestor Tree and the deeper meaning behind his words.

Even if Lin Yan used some kind of token today to bring the Chaos City Lord down from the Original Secret Realm to this Ganwu Universe Country, they wouldn't be too surprised.

After all, this talent is undeniable. If an alien race were to successfully assassinate Alien Race on Human territory, it would be a complete loss of face.

However... Venerable Ancestor Tree's status is comparable to that of a Lord of the Universe, and he is not a member of the Virtual Universe Company at all.

Even the Chaos City Lord couldn't make such an arrangement for him, clearly indicating that this wasn't a decision made within the Virtual Universe Company.

Just how much do humans value Lin Yan that they would send the Venerable Ancestor Tree to specifically oversee his safety during the Domain Lord's exile?

The information conveyed here goes even beyond the concept of a "top-tier Universe Overlord".

It is true that humanity only has three top-tier Universe Overlord, but the number of top-tier Universe Overlord in the Hong Alliance far exceeds that. Even if someone else were to guard the Blood Luo World for thousands of years, the "Lord of Heavenly Eclipse Palace" of the Virtual Universe Company would not cause any trouble.

Ultimately, the decision was made by the strongest among them, the "Venerable Ancestor Tree," who believed that there might be a deeper meaning behind it.

"It seems that this little guy has something even more incredible behind him, beyond what he shows on the surface."

The Qianwu Country Lord King Tong Nan looked at Lin Yan and couldn't help but have the same thought in their hearts.

Deep down, they were all incredibly curious—

It has been less than two hundred years.

What Lin Yan revealed was already enough to leave anyone speechless, but what was hidden behind it was something even more incredible.

Lin Yan didn't think that much about it and bowed respectfully, "Thank you, Venerable One, I understand."

He was grateful.

If it weren't for Venerable Ancestor Tree, the predicament he faces today would be something he couldn't overcome on his own, and it's very likely that it would be a dead end.

This is also due to differences in information.

Aside from his talent for Law Comprehension, the little-known secrets surrounding Lin Yan are the key reason why the human race would proactively arrange for a top-tier Universe Overlord to protect him.

Otherwise, even if a Universe Venerable were arranged to protect him, he wouldn't be able to stand here now.

The scale of the Zerg's actions this time amazed Lin Yan; they went to such lengths for a mere domain lord like himself.

Domain Lord level members are already highly protected during their deployment, with their own Guard Army. When carrying out missions, the Virtual Universe Company will specifically allocate personnel to assist them according to the mission objectives.

It was reasonable for Lin Yan to be protected by the Venerable Ancestor Tree during his time as a Domain Lord, but this would no longer be possible once he reached the World Lord level.

By then, Lin Yan's movements would be difficult for the Alien Race to track, and he would have a certain ability to protect himself, so he would naturally have to rely on himself.

Everything in excess is as bad as deficiency.

No matter how talented you are, you must go through trials and tribulations to become a true strong person.

"Hmm." Venerable Ancestor Tree nodded in satisfaction.

A magnificent palace surrounded by wisps of blue light appeared out of thin air in his hand; it was none other than his high-level flying Palace Supreme Treasure, the "Void Isle Palace".

Wow!

The World Tree gently swayed its trunk.

Those immortals, World Master, and even domain lords who had just been directly transferred out of the interstellar warship by the divine power of the Venerable Ancestor Tree, returned to their cabins in the warship at this moment.

The emerald green light slowly receded, and the halo dissipated like a thin mist.

At this moment.

A rich sense of life spread across the world, and the world seemed to awaken.

At the same time, Venerable Ancestor Tree threw out the Void Isle Palace in his hand, and the entire Void Isle Palace immediately began to float.

Boom...

The Void Isle Palace immediately generated an incredible and powerful suction force, which directly acted on the World Tree, causing it to vibrate and hum as it was absorbed into the Palace Supreme Treasure.

The World Tree's divine body is extremely large, making it naturally difficult to move. Normally, the Venerable Ancestor Tree is kept in his own divine kingdom, but this time it was brought along to ensure everything went smoothly.

Then, he turned around and vanished into thin air.

Seeing the Venerable Ancestor Tree leave, Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little envious.

This is World Tree Clone; it's truly enviable.

Lin Yan also had some simple ideas for his Third Clone. His first and second clones were respectively "Green Line Devouring Worm" and "Blood Hound". The most important requirement for the Third Clone was undoubtedly "Super Divine Body".

Among them, the "World Tree" was one of his top choices.

Besides its "Mastery of Time and Space" and "enormous size", the World Tree has a third major advantage: it strengthens and stabilizes divine kingdoms.

His information about the World Tree did not mention that the Venerable Ancestor Tree possessed World Tree Clone.

However, records indicate that the "Mandola Divine General" of the Ancestor God Cult once obtained a branch of the Strongest World Tree. Mandola Divine General planted this branch in his divine kingdom, and the branch grew into a giant divine tree. This divine tree formed from the "branch of the World Tree" is called the "Life Tree".

The Life Tree stabilizes God's Kingdom.

The more stable the divine kingdom is, the stronger the oppression and restraint of the divine kingdom will be once an enemy breaks into the divine kingdom. With this move, the Mandola Divine General directly brought the enemy into the divine kingdom and killed many of them.

Under normal circumstances, when gods reside in their divine kingdoms, they use these kingdoms to oppress and bind their enemies, and the divine kingdoms also empower them, thus increasing their strength several times over.

However, with the Life Tree planted in the divine kingdom, the divine kingdom's power to empower itself and oppress its enemies combined instantly increased its strength a hundredfold.

"If the Life Tree is this miraculous, then the World Tree must make the divine kingdom even stronger and more stable."

"The World Tree is indeed an excellent choice."

He only realized today that, thanks to the World Tree's Talent Secret Method, he had already rivaled the Lord of the Universe in his Mastery of Time and Space, and could even Reverse Space-Time to resurrect.

It can be said that although the Venerable Ancestor Tree is not the Lord of the Universe, his strength is greater than that of many Alien Race's Lords of the Universe.

What if it were in God's kingdom?

Thinking about this, Lin Yan couldn't help but place even greater importance on the choice of the "World Tree".

After all, given his circumstances, he will surely break through the thresholds of Immortality and Universe Venerable at the same time. If his Third Clone is the "World Tree," he can directly Reverse Space-Time, which is quite a temptation.

Of course, he was just thinking about it.

Lin Yan has always been very cautious about choosing a clone, and he still needs to consider his own various needs. It is too early to consider it now.

At this moment, the 30 interstellar warships and the distant Imperial Capital Star were suddenly engulfed in chaos.

After the Venerable Ancestor Tree concealed his whereabouts.

Those who awoke from their slumber, especially those who had been resurrected from the dead, were somewhat bewildered at that moment.

Because they all have memories of the past, including those who just died, who all knew they had perished... but now they have been resurrected?

"What exactly happened?"

"I... I'm already dead, aren't I?"

"Those Immortal Zerg Warriors are gone."

Everyone was shocked.

With their limited knowledge, these people had no idea what a cosmic ruler was, nor had they ever heard of the ability to resurrect the dead.

However, those Immortal God who roam the Outer Domain Battlefield do know some of it.

They clearly saw the energy burst of the Immortal Zerg Warriors, the complete disappearance of the Imperial Capital Star, the death of almost all those Cosmic level warriors, and then their consciousness quickly vanish.

When they woke up again, all those who had been dead had come back to life without any injury. What shocked them even more was that even the ordinary people on the Imperial Capital Star were unharmed.

Is this a dream?

No.

The interstellar warship showed obvious signs of damage.

In other words... Reverse Space-Time to resurrect them? The Lord of the Universe? Who has the power to have a Lord of the Universe Reverse Space-Time to resurrect them?

The most bewildered of them all was Elder Si Fanqi of the Golden Horn Clan.

He witnessed the assassination attempt by the Alien Race Universe Venerable, but he didn't know what happened afterward. However, putting everything together, it's easy to guess what exactly happened next.

Lord of the Universe!

At that critical moment, the Lord of the Universe descended, saving His Highness Lin Yan and resurrecting the humans.

How terrifying is this?

It wasn't hard for Elder Si Fanqi Alien Race, but the fact that Universe Venerable would attempt to assassinate him, and that the cosmic lord would descend upon him... was completely beyond his comprehension.

Throughout his long life, he had never seen an existence at the level of a cosmic lord.

Within the Golden Horn Clan, there are only a few elders. Even the greatest elder in the tribe's history— Xerod, the eternal pride of the Golden Horn Clan —has not reached such a terrifying level.

But how could such a great being appear here in the extremely short time that His Highness Lin Yan was being assassinated?

He imagined that Xerod would not waste a single moment for the safety of his people's genius, but... he couldn't even imagine it.

Because those geniuses in the race... don't deserve it.

Elder Si Fanqi sighed.

He looked ahead.

He could guess that the giant whose face was shrouded in clouds in the starry sky was the high and Qianwu Country Lord. On the other side, a handsome young man, as dazzling as a star, was talking to the Qianwu Country Lord, appearing neither humble nor arrogant.

That's just a domain lord.

But in the darkness—

Another voice echoed in Elder Si Fanqi's heart.

That young figure belonged to the pinnacle of the universe—the strongest genius in Human history. In the future, he would be an even greater being than the great Xerod.
