[You enter the secret realm.]

[Since the secret realm is filled with trees as far as the eye can see, it is temporarily named the Ancient Tree Secret Realm.]

[The Wood Law is much clearer within the Ancient Tree Secret Realm. You cannot help but feel delighted; even if you gain nothing else, comprehending the Law here makes the trip worthwhile.]

[At 138 years old, you step across the threshold of the Wood Law.]

[According to the latest reports, the Tree Person Race resides in the depths of the Ancient Tree Secret Realm. They have lived and multiplied here for countless years, and their strength and foundation are not weak even by outside standards.]

[You have learned the language of the Tree Person Race.]

[At 139 years old, energy fluctuations erupt from the depths of the Ancient Tree Secret Realm. The strongest of the Tree Person Race and the experts from the Ganwu Dojo are clashing. They are two Immortal Gods. After taking a glance from afar, you quickly retreat.]

[Unsurprisingly, the Tree Person Immortal is killed.]

[As for the World Lords and Domain Lords of the Tree Person Race, they are left for you Ganwu Practitioners to clean up. Those below the Domain Lord rank are spared, left for the future training of geniuses.]

[At 140 years old, you discover 108 Star Wave Fruits. They possess rich vitality and have various uses, primarily for cultivating Universe Rank Plant Lifeforms.]

[At 141 years old, you encounter your first Tree Person.]

[They are called people, but in reality, they are more like ancient trees that have gained intelligence. Their roots serve as feet, their branches as hands, and their trunks as bodies.]

[You are a Domain Lord level 6, and he is a Domain Lord level 9. He curses at you while charging to kill you.]

[You cannot be bothered to fight, so you have your Gold Wood Grass restrain him.]

[The Ancient Tree Secret Realm has just been opened, and various detection instruments have not yet been installed. As long as you are careful, you will not attract the attention of others.]

[You intend to study the Tree Person Race.]

[After ordering the Gold Wood Grass to severely injure him and strip him of his resistance, you store him inside a World Ring. Afterward, you have a Spirit Silk Grass guard him within.]

[At 142 years old, you capture two Tree Persons each of the Star Rank, Universe Rank, and Domain Lord rank and place them into your World Ring.]

[You begin your research.]

[At 143 years old, after a year of observation, you discover that the Tree Person Race is naturally attuned to the Origin Law of Wood; they are the darlings of the Wood Origin Law.]

[Converted to human bloodlines, the Tree Persons are second-tier.]

[You are very disappointed by this and order the Spirit Silk Grass to kill all the test subjects.]

[You turn your attention to other lifeforms.]

[At 158 years old, you severely underestimated the strength of the Ganwu Dojo. In just over 20 years, the Ancient Tree Secret Realm has been almost completely cleared out, but you are disappointed by the various lifeforms within.]

[In the same year, the Domain Lord Yun Xiao approaches you.]

[He wants to invite you to explore the Ancient Tree World together. It is a sacred ground held by the Tree Person Race, though it was recently breached by the Dojo.]

[You agree, because only there might there be undiscovered things, and with your array of Plant Lifeforms, you can even fight an Immortal.]

[You enter the Ancient Tree World.]

[The Ancient Tree World is not a World Lord's world, but a naturally formed space. You are amazed; the Wood Law inside is several times clearer than it is outside.]

[At the same time, you feel that something is wrong.]

[The Tree Person Race has occupied the Ancient Tree Secret Realm for countless years, and with such rich conditions, you wouldn't be surprised if there were over a dozen Immortal Gods. Yet, in reality, only 8 Immortal Gods appeared during the exploration.]

[You silently retreat to the center of the team.]

[As you expected, the elite of the Tree Person Race hidden in the shadows launch a sneak attack. Fortunately, you were smart enough to stay in the center of the team, with the experts on the periphery taking the brunt of it.]

[The slaughter begins.]

[Although the Tree Person Race has two Immortal Gods, the Immortal Gods of your Ganwu Dojo are one-against-two and do not fall behind; it is just that the divine bodies of the Tree Persons are too large to kill easily.]

[The Tree Persons are pushed back step by step.]

[However, you sense something ominous. Without anyone noticing, you retreat to the back of the team. After all, since the clearing is happening from the outside in, the rear is the safest place right now.]

[You arrive at the depths.]

[You see a massive tree. The Wood Law surrounds it like a physical substance, eventually turning into threads that merge into the heart of the tree.]

[You marvel at what that could possibly be.]

"A special lifeform?" Han Han feels a shock in his heart.

He originally thought that crossing the threshold of the Law would be the greatest gain of this simulation, but he never expected to actually encounter something suspected to be a special lifeform.

[Unfortunately.]

[Here, you encounter an even more powerful Tree Person Immortal. Vaguely, you hear an Immortal from the Ganwu Dojo say the word "Marquis".]

[The Ganwu Dojo Immortal falls, and the Tree Person Race, led by their Immortal, begins to slaughter the Ganwu Practitioners.]

[The Ganwu Dojo sends out a notification that human experts will arrive to rescue you soon.]

[Unfortunately.]

[The speed of the Tree Person slaughter is too fast. You have no choice but to expose your Plant Lifeforms; only then can you withstand the repeated attacks of the Tree Person Immortal.]

[Fortunately, that Marquis Rank Tree Person seems to think the Tree Person Race has already won and does not take action, successfully allowing you to hold out until the human experts arrive.]

[You have never seen this powerhouse before, and he has never even appeared in the records of the Dojo. You guess that he might be a powerhouse from the Ganwu Secret Realm above the Dojo.]

[He makes his move.]

[You clearly hear him say that it is fortunate the Tree Person Marquis had only just condensed his Undying Body, otherwise, it would have been quite difficult to kill him. After saying this, the Tree Person Marquis is slain within a few moves.]

[He ignores you, but since the exit to the Ancient Tree World is sealed, you have no way to leave first.]

[You boldly approach the Mysterious Ancient Tree.]

[The closer you get, the clearer you feel the Wood Law. If you had an environment like this, you would never have had the thought of possessing a powerful life form.]

[Before you can see clearly, that human powerhouse arrives in front of you.]

[You feel something is wrong because you see pity in the eyes of this Immortal. This kind of emotion should not appear at this moment.]

[He asks you how you cultivated so many perfectly evolved Spirit Silk Grass.]

[You lie and claim they are resources obtained from the Ancient Tree Secret Realm.]

[He smiles and does not respond to you, because he has already determined that the Mysterious Ancient Tree is gestating a special life form, and you, as the only one who knows the news, cannot be allowed to live.]

[He will personally investigate your secrets.]

[Sensing danger, the Gold Wood Grass automatically protects its master, but unfortunately, the gap is simply too vast. Both you and the Gold Wood Grass are pierced through your life cores by this strike and perish.]

[You have died.]

[This simulation has ended.]

"It really is a special life form!"

Han Han sees that an Immortal, who is at least a Marquis, has confirmed it is a special life form in the simulation, and he believes it completely.

What is a special life form?

Their gene level is at least 10 times higher, and they are naturally favored by the universe. As long as they have a little talent and work hard, breaking through to become an Immortal is simply easy.

"I hope the options have something relevant."

[Evaluation: G-40]

[You were cautious and avoided death traps many times, but unfortunately, you ultimately died at the hands of a human powerhouse because you needed to keep the secret of the special life form.]

[You may choose three from the following options.]

[1: Domain Lord Rank 4 cultivation level]

[2: Level 9 Wood Domain insight]

[3: Abundant combat experience]

[4: Insights into the Rotten Wood Blade after integrating into the Wood Domain, the ordinary Immortal soul defense secret technique Illusion Tower, and a possession secret technique]

[5: 6 Hunyuan Unit wealth]

[6: One E2-grade combat suit, weapon, and spaceship each]

[7: 108 Star Wave Fruit]

[8: Two Tree Persons each at Star Rank, Universe Rank, and Domain Lord Rank]

[9: Special life form coordinates]
