Inside the residence in Chaos City.

Lu Yan'an gazed at the World Tree sent by the Lord of Darkness and fell into deep thought.

He already held a very high position and authority within the Human Race, and had collected a great deal of information about Special Lifeform. He also carefully investigated the large number of Special Lifeform in the treasure vaults of the Lord of Darkness and the City Lord of Chaos. It must be admitted that these two bigwigs of the Virtual Universe Company were truly very wealthy!

Many powerful and mysterious Special Lifeform keep specimens in their private treasure troves.

Such as the Cold Whale, the Mountain-Carrying Tremor, the World Tree...

Each of them was Special Lifeform with an extremely high Life Gene Level. After Lu Yan'an's continuous screening and research, he finally decided to choose the "World Tree" as his Third Clone. Although there were other life forms that were more beneficial to him than the World Tree, they had to be Special Lifeform forms at the "World Lord Level".

Limited to the "World Lord Level" category, Lu Yan'an determined the World Tree.

There are six World Tree the entire universe.

One of the World Tree is Universe Venerable level tree, the Strongest World Tree. Its trunk alone is 12 million kilometers thick, and its height is 290 million kilometers. Its canopy is so large that its diameter exceeds one billion kilometers. This is an outrageously large tree—the largest tree-like Special Lifeform form in the universe in terms of volume.

There are also two World Tree, which are of the Immortal Level, only slightly smaller than the Venerable Level World Tree, and their height is 120 million kilometers.

The last three World Tree are of the World Lord Level, slightly smaller than the Immortal Level World Tree, and their height reaches 60 million kilometers.

The reason for choosing the "World Tree" as the target is because of the Third Clone.

First, there is his innate ability.

The World Tree's innate ability is "Mastery of Time and Space." Within a certain range around it, time and space are completely controlled. Although it is far inferior to the "Universe Master's" ability to completely control a region's space and time, as the World Tree itself becomes stronger, its ability to Space-Time Control also increases.

It is said that the Strongest World Tree, at the Universe Venerable level, possesses a power to Mastery of Time and Space and time that is no less than that of the Universe Master.

As for the World Tree at the Immortal Level or World Lord Level, they are naturally much inferior.

But if it's fighting against someone of the same level, it's a complete rout.

After all, at the Life Gene Level alone, the World Tree is thousands of times larger than humans! Moreover, their enormous size... also indicates that their Divine Body are incredibly powerful and tyrannical, with an astonishing amount of stored divine power. Even if Burning Divine Body in a war of attrition, how many would dare to outlast the World Tree?

"Mastery of Time and Space" and "enormous size" are just two major advantages; there is a third major advantage!

That is the World Tree's strengthening and stabilizing effect on the God Kingdom. Heaven knows how terrifyingly stable the God Kingdom will become after he breaks through to immortality under the World Tree's suppression! The more stable the God Kingdom is, the stronger the oppression and restraint will be if a God Kingdom breaks into the God Kingdom!

Logically, Immortal God, within their God Kingdom, would typically increase their strength by a few times by using the God Kingdom's oppression and restraint on their enemies, along with the God Kingdom's own enhancement. However, under the influence of the World Tree, this oppression on enemies, combined with the God Kingdom's own enhancement, causes their strength to increase exponentially.

In the original story, the "Mantu Divine General" once obtained a branch of the World Tree from the Strongest World Tree. The Mantu Divine General planted that branch in his God 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. Just by relying on the blessing of this weakened version of the Life Tree on his God Kingdom, his overall strength against enemies within his own God Kingdom could be increased by hundreds of times. You can imagine how precious this thing is!

World Tree.

Control Space-Time and space, is enormous in size and contains immense divine power, and stabilizes the God Kingdom.

Given the choice, how could Lu Yan'an not choose it? In comparison, Nine Nether Blood Sea Clone from the original story wouldn't offer him such a significant boost.

"If I were to choose the Divine Power Path, then this Nine Nether Blood Sea Clone would be the most suitable for me! Unfortunately..." Lu Yan'an didn't say more after that, but those who knew, understood.

Choosing the World Tree offers significant advantages in terms of time and space, and the laws of time and space become increasingly important in the later stages of the game! If one simply chooses to follow the Law Path, then this World Tree Clone is the only viable option.

"Now I need to consider whether this World Tree Clone can be nurtured by my Innate Secret Technique," Lu Yan'an thought to himself. "In the original story, City Lord Luo failed to nurture it. I wonder if I can succeed with my current foundational Life Gene Level, which is five times that of his!"

There are limits to the potential for growth within Internal World. For some uniquely powerful life forms in the universe, Lu Yan'an's Internal World likely wouldn't be able to nurture them at all. In the original story, City Lord Luo tried to nurture the World Tree within the Golden Horned Beast's Internal World, Life Gene Level hundreds of times higher than his own—of course, it was impossible. However, after being enhanced by the Heart of Time, Lu Yan'an's own Life Gene Level reached 50 times higher, which made it possible for him to nurture the World Tree.

"Besides, this isn't a leaf from the Strongest World Tree. If it's just a World Tree at the World Lord Level, I shouldn't have much of a problem!"

The six World Tree vary significantly in height and size.

The Strongest World Tree is the one with the highest level of life. It is said to have thousands of times more genes than humans, belonging to the most advanced level of Special Lifeform in the universe.

Two Immortal Level World Tree, slightly inferior.

Three World Tree at the World Lord Level —still one step short.

Now that things have come to this, Lu Yan'an can't help but feel a little anxious and uncertain.

"Hmm, it should work." As if encouraging himself, he felt both anxious and extremely eager.

This was the Third Clone he most desired after reviewing countless materials! If its creation failed, he would be forced to choose the "Nine Nether Blood Sea Clone"! Although on the surface, the Blood Sea Clone was larger and possessed more divine power, apart from this advantage, it did not help his comprehension of the laws. In the long run, it was still inferior to the World Tree Clone.

"I hope everything goes smoothly?" With a hint of longing, Lu Yan'an channeled his consciousness into his Internal World.

The Internal World of the Original Core.

Kong Yu and his Demon Beast Clone stood on the endless plain.

Kong Yu lowered his head, which was as large as a mountain, and looked at the branch of the World Tree, a World Lord Level, that the Demon Beast Clone was holding.

"Success or failure hinges on this!"

Perturbed!

Nervous!

Whether future cultivation can rely on this World Tree Clone to take shortcuts depends on this.

"You must succeed!" The Demon Beast Clone suddenly waved its hand!

The beautiful, emerald-like World Tree, with its broken branches and leaves, flew directly into the sky.

Lu Yan'an's three consciousnesses were all staring intently at the scene before them, and the atmosphere on the field became more tense than ever before.

Stop!

The green Flowing Light shot straight into the sky, flying continuously... just like an Aurora, so dazzling.

"Innate Secret Technique - Clone!" Lu Yan'an's consciousness immediately issued the command.

He had three opportunities to Clone: once he created the Time Demon Beast, once he created the Kong Yu Clone, and this was his last!

"Rumble..."

The entire Internal World began to tremble and shake, as endless World Energy began to converge frantically, making the entire Internal World seem to fall into an apocalypse. At the same time, a purplish-black crystal began to appear in mid-air within the Internal World. It had a facet and appeared extremely noble and profound.

"The most critical moment."

The three consciousnesses— the Demon Beast Clone, the Kong Yu Clone, and Lu Yan'an's true self—were all tense.

"Stop!"

The crystal trembled slightly, and an indescribable aura surged forth from it. Instantly, everyone present felt a jolt of Lu Yan'an in their hearts.

"Bang!"

The crystal suddenly shuddered again, as if a violent nuclear fusion had begun inside, producing a loud explosion.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...

The continuous roaring sounds accompanied Lu Yan'an's heart as it slowly sank.

Lu Yan'an's consciousness began to feel the immense pressure from the Life Imprint of the World Tree within the purplish-black crystal. However, this pressure was nothing to Lu Yan'an, as the symbol of the Inner Universe had long been completely cleared away by the Rebirth Dao Talisman! No matter how great the pressure from this Life Imprint was, it had no effect on Lu Yan'an at all.

The purplish-black crystal that had been emitting booming sounds slowly sank into silence, and the entire Internal World fell into a deathly stillness. In this deathly silence, however, a subtle fluctuation of gestation began to emerge.

"It worked?" Lu Yan'an asked, his voice trembling slightly.
