"Undying Elixir... Thank goodness, thank goodness. There's still a little hope."
Gu Sheng carefully removed the petrified plant. After sensing it closely, he peeled off a tiny piece of jade-like root. Although the elixir's essence had been drained and the entire seedling was almost completely ruined, this bit of root still remained.
In anyone else's hands, it truly could not be saved—not even an Emperor could do it. But Gu Sheng had the system. As long as even a fragment of its genes remained, he could use the system's power to recreate the world and restore it. Naturally, the price would not be small, but compared with the gains from the elixir, he could still bear such a slight cost.

One was in the hands of the Ten Crown King, Heavenly Emperor, while the other was not truly a seedling—it was the divine tree that would evolve into the World Tree of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths
