Sudden Change Within the Tower

"Rip!"

"Boom!"

"Bang! Bang!"

The battle for supremacy in the rear is still raging, with countless Plant Soldier dying and even more powerful Plant Soldier being born.

Zhao Xing lay on the soft grassland, absorbing spiritual energy in large gulps.

For hundreds of years, he dared not take a single breath of spiritual energy to replenish himself, for fear of being discovered to be abnormal. He even squeezed almost all the resources in his Internal World dry.

Upon reaching the Green Grassland, his divine power was almost depleted, yet some grass seeds continued to sprout from his body— Parasitic Seeds that had been unintentionally planted within him.

"Stealing the General's Order from Tian Ji General wasn't even the hardest part; the hardest part was actually traversing the Overlord's Battlefield," Zhao Xing muttered to himself.

He plucked a blade of grass from his arm. "I dare not get rid of these Parasitic Seeds, for fear of disturbing those plant overlords."

Despite his incredible luck, he still failed to travel through time three times and had to retreat to his original location.

The Plant Soldier's blockade was truly all-pervasive; danger lurked everywhere, both in the sky and on the ground. No matter how deep Zhao Xing burrowed underground, he could not exceed the depth of the roots.

"~" Zhao Xing plucked two more Parasitic Seeds that were absorbing his divine power, which immediately attracted the attention of a Divine General Level soldier on the overlord battlefield.

It resembled an enlarged cactus with human facial features. When Zhao Xing removed the Parasitic Seeds, it immediately emitted a burst of sharp thorns, which swept over like a storm, startling Zhao Xing.

Each spike reached the level of Divine General, and countless black dots split, with the spike storm spreading out like a black hole.

"Da da da~"

Finally, after hitting the Boundary Marker, it suddenly fell vertically and crashed to the ground.

However, it soon became a cactus territory, where cacti began to take root and sprout.

"Phew~"

Seeing that he could not cross this area, Zhao Xing breathed a sigh of relief and began to quickly remove the Parasitic Seeds from his body.

The Overlord Battle is not over yet, and he has time to reach the God King Tower.

Two months later, Zhao Xing recovered seventy or eighty percent of his divine power and his injuries were fully healed. Only then did he fly towards the God King Tower.

"Yu's God King Tower, I wonder if it has been tested yet." As he got closer, Zhao Xing carefully examined the tower.

It has nine floors in total, each covered with dark green climbing woody vines. Observation using the panel shows that it is an unknown Original Seed. The God King Tower has only one entrance. The entrance door is not hidden by vines. Zhao Xing took the General's Order and walked over. The door disappeared directly, revealing a pure white light curtain.

Metaphor

As Zhao Xing passed through the light curtain, he had a strange feeling. He looked back and was suddenly startled.

Because he discovered that there was a phantom of himself standing at the door, with a ball of light floating around him. One of the balls of light was the World Ring, which contained the White Jade Five Tombs Ship, as well as the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle, the Heaven- Heaven Mending Art Attainment Artifact, the Space-Time Grain Rain, the War God, the Great Dao Golden Circlet, and many other divine objects.

Immediately following, a second ball of light appeared; it was the Time Page that the Immeasurable True God had given him.

The third orb of light consisted of Dan Shu and Golden Hairpin.

To Zhao Xing's even greater surprise, the Zu Emperor Dynasty also emerged shortly afterward!

Zhao Xing was shocked, but he was completely unable to move.

"Buzz~"

The next moment, the World Core within his body involuntarily opened, World Projection within him.

General Hua Li, was also pulled out and shrunk into a ball of light. She closed her eyes and curled up inside the ball of light, as if she were fast asleep.

Following the Penglai Divine General's 'essence of divine essence,' the box that Gu Luo River gave himself finally revealed even the Great Emperor's Primal Chaos Dao Tower, except that the Primal Chaos Dao Tower was particularly large, being the largest among the many light clusters.

Zhao Xing watched helplessly as all "external things" were stripped away, and now he can truly be called the true self-centered Sima Nong.

Therefore, he truly passed through the light curtain and appeared inside the God King Tower.

"There's quite a lot of stuff."

As the light disappeared from sight, Zhao Xing heard a magnetic voice.

Before me was a smooth floor, and in the vast space there was only a single round, golden beam that stretched upwards into the distance.

A young man wearing a straw hat and Hemp Garb clothing, with a straw in his mouth, leaned against a pillar with his arms crossed, only his straight nose and rosy lips visible.

Zhao Xing immediately used the panel to observe. Now, his panel observation can even see the name of a god -King Grade like the Moon God Palace Master. However, this person is obviously not a living being, just like the Divine King Zhang Yue, but is formed by some kind of Dao technique.

"Junior Zhao Xing pays respects to Divine King Yu Heng."

"Kid, you're pretty good. A Demigod has so many good things and managed to get this far. Let me see your background."

The young man raised his head, revealing his eyes under the brim of his hat. His gaze fell on the Golden Hairpin on Zhao Xing's head. With a wave of his right hand, the Golden Hairpin flew into his hand.

He gently stroked the hairpin, and the scene of Zhao Xing and the Divine King Zhang Yue's final conversation immediately appeared on it.

"They've got quite a background."

"With the protection of a time-based True God Heaven and Earth Attainment, and a scholar Divine General safeguard your path, the false Zu Emperor Dynasty could only be created by three historical God King. Let me guess—it's the Moon God Palace Master of the Desolate Territory Era?"

"So the Primal Chaos Dao Tower was bestowed upon you by the Red Star Great Emperor, haha. And the treasures given to you by the Gu Luo River are quite interesting."

Zhao Xing was also somewhat surprised. Upon entering the God King Tower, he was instantly exposed. Even though Divine King Yu Heng was dead, he still possessed such great abilities, which was truly terrifying.

It should be noted that the Divine King Zhang Yue did not see through the Zu Emperor Dynasty, nor did he know about the Moon God Palace Master and the Great Emperor, but Yu Heng could see it.

He distinguishes truth from falsehood, and stands alone in his glory; truly God King of the True Self Faction.

"You are the Heaven and Earth Primal Chaos Sacred Body of Heaven and Zhao Xing, yet you would rather carry the burden of the Zu Emperor Dynasty than break through, because you want to cultivate all three sects simultaneously." The young man in plain clothes had already learned from the Golden Hairpin about the conversation between Divine King Zhang Yue and Zhao Xing, including the process of Zhao Xing presenting Zhang Yue with the creation of the Ten Directions Mountain Scripture.

This Golden Hairpin was originally intended by Zhang Yue to give Yu Heng a general understanding of Zhao Xing.

"Yes, I do have that idea." Zhao Xing nodded.

"Very good, ambitious." The young man nodded. "For a Demigod to have made it this far is enough to prove your talent. There are still some tests inside the God King Tower, so there's no need for them."

"All you need to do is come over and worship this sacred tree, Karma Dao Oath, and all the weapons in your Internal World, including your inherited secret techniques, will be protected."

"Then it's all yours."

Zhao Xing was taken aback. It was that simple?

However, upon closer reflection, since the Divine King Zhang Yue acknowledged him, it's quite reasonable for the Divine King Yu Heng to take the initiative to pass on his legacy to him after understanding him and seeing that a Demigod was able to overcome numerous challenges.

"Thank you, Senior Yu Heng."

Zhao Xing did as instructed, walked to the straight sacred tree and bowed.

"I wonder if you have any last wishes for me to fulfill?"

He had already made preparations. For example, if the last wish of the Divine King Zhang Yue was to resurrect Yu Heng, then Yu Heng's last wish should be to resurrect Zhang Yue and help her escape the Great Destruction of the Nirvana Realm.

Unexpectedly, the young man's words surprised Zhao Xing: "Your Karma Dao Oath doesn't need to be too complicated, since you have already sworn an oath before Zhang Yue. I will only add one more clause: After receiving the inheritance, you must go to the Chaos Era and cultivate in the Cosmic Forest."

The Chaos Era, the Cosmic Forest?

Zhao Xing frowned. He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

As a result, he hesitated to take the oath and fell into a state of indecision.

"What?" the young man said calmly, "Don't you know about the Cosmic Forest of the Chaos Era?"

"Senior, I really don't know where this place is," Zhao Xing said, bowing.

"In the beginning of the universe, chaos was born." The young man snapped his fingers, and an ellipsoid appeared above his head.

According to the Earthly Advantage Faction Shennong's theory, it belongs to the Archean Eon period.

"According to the True Self Faction, this is the first era of the Origin Stage of the universe."

"It is also the basis for the conjecture of the cloud cosmology of the Time Faction."

"At this time, the universe was just a prototype, space was only a primitive layer, and the entire universe was filled with a large amount of '..."

"Matter and life have just been conceived."

"It is the earliest time period that can be traced back, and also the end of the River of Time."

Zhao Xing's expression changed drastically. The beginning of the universe, the Chaos Era, the end of the River of Time?

So, can we really see Extreme Land, Primordial Sea, and Extreme Star —things that only exist in the theory of Agricultural Official?

"Di Luo, Hao Gan, Zhuan Xiang, Yuan, and Ming Li — the Five Emperors —all established Dao Domains during the Chaos Era, each with their own schemes. Most were aimed at eliminating the Dark Origin Life of the Chaos Era," the young man said calmly.

"The Chaos Era contains several secret realms, including the Primordial Extreme Continent, the Primordial Sea, the Chaos Boundary Wall, the Dark Source Realm, the Cosmic Forest, the Ten Directions Mountain, and the Primordial Extreme Star."

"A powerful yet turbid spirit gives birth to a life with an inherently destructive nature, which is called a demon god."

"It also gave rise to some extremely powerful plant life, most of which gathered in the Cosmic Forest."

"As long as you can go to the Cosmic Forest of the Chaos Era, you will naturally be able to fulfill all the agreements, revive Zhang Yue, and help her escape the Great Destruction. It will not be difficult."

The young man waved his hand, and balls of light immediately floated out from within the divine tree. "With my help, you will soon be able to achieve your goal of cultivating three different schools simultaneously. In addition, with the inherited secret techniques, the treasures of the God King, and the assistance of those Plant Soldier outside, you will have a foothold in the Chaos Era."

Zhao Xing cupped his hands and said, "Senior, please allow me to consider this. I'll go out for a bit first."

"Go out?" The young man lifted the brim of his hat and couldn't help but laugh. "I knew you were no ordinary person; you managed to resist temptation even in this situation."

Zhao Xing slowly backed away. "Senior Yu Heng, I just wanted to think about it and ask my elders at home."

He turned and ran, only to find himself frozen in front of the gate, unable to move.

"Is it difficult for you to agree to this request?" The young man sighed and slowly walked up to Zhao Xing.

"You... you are not the God King of the Universe," Zhao Xing said with difficulty.

"That's right, I never said I was Yu Heng." The young man took off his hat brim, and his whole body exuded a strong black aura. Wisps of Golden Light rolled in the black aura. Zhao Xing saw clearly that the young man's true form was actually a piece of wood.

The growth rings in the wood are bluish-black, like a polluted river of time.

"Who... who are you?"

The young man remained silent, but controlled Zhao Xing to open his Internal World, and then the entire God King Tower began to shake.

No, it's mainly the golden main beam inside the tower that's shaking.

"I, Zhao Xing, the Agricultural Official, am willing to inherit the last wish of Divine King Yu Heng and be resurrected," Zhao Xing began to speak involuntarily, while the golden pillar shook even more violently.

This was not his will, but he was completely out of control and still uttered, "To the Chaos Era, the Cosmic Forest!"

"See, isn't this great?" The young man smiled happily.

"You are not Yu Heng at all—"

The young man, with his back to Zhao Xing, looked at the moved golden beam, a long-lost joy in his voice:

"In order to help Zhang Yue survive the Annihilation Chapter of the Great Yellow World, Yu Heng risked his life to go to the Cosmic Forest. Zhang Yue then found someone to revive Yu Heng. Your human emotions are really interesting."

The Rumble God King Tower began to tilt, and the golden pillar also tilted and shrank accordingly, one end of it pointing towards Zhao Xing's Internal World and slowly extending into it.

Zhao Xing could only watch helplessly as this process unfolded.

"Is your true form this piece of wood?"

Zhao Xing seemed to understand.

"Not bad." The youth's phantom slowly dissipated, turning into a stream of light that clung to the divine tree, though strands of golden lines still bound the tree.

"In order to help Zhang Yue survive the Great Destruction, Divine King Yu Heng tried every possible method back then."

"Ultimately, we set our sights on the Cosmic Forest of the Chaos Era."

"He came to the depths of the Cosmic Forest and found a divine tree beside the River of Time."

"You humans have named it the World God Tree."

"The World God Tree has nine major branches, named: Heavenly Stems, Earthly Branch, Boundary Sun, Zhou Yuan, Divine Sound, Lower Command, Divine Talisman, Moonlight, and Cave Sea. He and eight others cut this World God Tree, which had just begun to develop sentience, into Dismemberment."

"However, in the end they only obtained a portion. During the cutting process, the Mother Tree gained great intelligence and escaped from the hands of these nine demons."

Zhao Xing was incredibly shocked. He never expected that Divine King Yu Heng had such a past. So, the young man who had just spoken to him was one of the nine branches of the World God Mother Tree.

"It seemed that everyone got a share, but in reality, a fierce struggle ensued during the distribution of the spoils."

Four people died.

"Although Divine King Yu Heng survived, he was also seriously injured."

"He planted the branch into his Internal World, intending to transplant Zhang Yue's soul into it in order to escape the Destruction of the Great Yellow World."

"Things took him by surprise; this branch developed sentience."

"It lay dormant for a long time, constantly devouring the nutrients in the Internal World, preventing this True Self Faction God King from ever recovering his strength."

"Following Yu Heng's side, the spiritual consciousness born from this branch grew rapidly, and soon learned about the vastness of this world, as well as everything that had happened in the past."

"Keep learning and keep waiting for opportunities."

Looking at the divine tree that had already partially entered his Internal World, Zhao Xing was deeply shocked. "You are one of the nine branches of the World God Tree? You killed Divine King Yu Heng?"
