The Power of Phainon! Cooperation with the Life Core! Hunting the Blue Silver Empress!

"Can you help me deal with the Blue Silver Emperor?"

The voice of the Life Core came from behind.

Bai Yuan turned around and looked at the hunched figure.

He was silent for a moment, then nodded:

"Can."

The pupils of the Life Core contracted slightly.

It looked at the boy, trying to find a hint of exaggeration or hesitation on his face, but it found nothing.

Those eyes were so calm, so calm, that it felt a little uncomfortable.

It had seen too many Soul Master make promises before it, but most of those promises vanished with the passage of time.

It subconsciously sensed Bai Yuan's Soul Power fluctuations.

Soul Ancestor, Fourth Ring.

A Soul Ancestor offered to help it deal with a Deity that was corrupting it.

It had lived for tens of thousands of years, and this was the first time it had ever heard such words.

Bai Yuan stood in that golden light, not in a hurry to explain how strong he was.

He simply began to calculate silently in his mind.

Ah Yin's erosion continues; if she is allowed to devour the Golden Tree further...

Before long, he will face a Second-Level God who controls the nature of Douluo.

In addition, Tang Hao's plans are also progressing smoothly.

After the Blue Silver Emperor merges with the Golden Tree, the Tang Family's control over this continent will be fully established.

By then, he would not have fully mastered the Core Flame, but God King Tang's plan would already be more than half completed.

The situation could become very tricky, and he disliked the feeling of being cornered.

The Life Core looked into Bai Yuan's calm eyes and finally spoke:

"At that time, part of Tang San's Divine Sense left in Douluo was destroyed."

It paused, its voice carrying a hint of probing that it itself was unaware of.

"Perhaps it has something to do with you?"

Bai Yuan neither admitted nor denied it.

He just stood there quietly.

The Life Core remained silent for a long time, so long that Bai Yuan thought it had given up.

It slowly spoke, and the heavy weariness in its voice was replaced at that moment by something weaker yet more resilient:

What do you want from me?

Your life energy

I need it to be nourished

Then, with a wave of his hand, the Core Flame within his body appeared before Bai Yuan.

The gaze of the Life Core fell upon that Core Flame.

The golden-black flames burned quietly in the void, without any scorching heat or dazzling light.

But deep within that flame, it sensed a pressure that made its entire consciousness tremble slightly.

It's like standing on the edge of a bottomless ocean, looking into the darkness below, wondering what lies hidden there.

"The Core Flame within you... is terrifying."

The voice of the Life Core was somewhat hoarse, and his gaze lingered on the flame for a long time.

Then it detected an extremely subtle trace of something deep within that flame.

Divine, gentle yet resilient.

It recognized that aura.

That wisp of remaining Divine Sense belonged to Tang San.

After all, it was transplanted to the Sea God Pavilion by Tang San, so he was naturally very familiar with that aura.

The way the Life Core looked at Bai Yuan changed.

It's a very complex emotion that it can't even explain itself.

The deity's Deity card, which even it could not overcome, had somehow been erased from the traces by this young man.

It was silent for a moment, then spoke again, "Okay, I promise you."

Bai Yuan put away the Core Flame, his gaze returning to the Life Core:

"Right now, it's Tang San's backup plan that's putting you under pressure."

The plant life system has a strict hierarchy, with higher-order plants naturally controlling lower-order plants.

Ah Yin herself couldn't possibly be stronger than the Golden Ancient Tree; she relied on the Blue Silver Emperor Vines left behind by Tang San.

The Life Core did not speak, but its silence itself was the answer.

Bai Yuan stretched out his hand, palm up, and the emerald green sapling emerged from his palm.

It exudes a rich sense of life.

That aura spread out, enveloping the entire golden space in a warm glow.

The pupils of the Life Core contracted violently.

Its body leaned forward uncontrollably, like an old tree trying to hold onto the ground in a gale.

It sensed the life essence emanating from that sapling.

That aura transcended the scope of any plant it knew—pure, ancient, and superior.

It even generated an absurd impulse.

I wanted to bow down to that sapling, like a lower-order plant instinctively submitting to a higher-order plant.

Bai Yuan retrieved the sapling, gazing into the eyes of the Life Core, which were swirling with complex emotions:

"It doesn't belong to the hierarchy of this continent, therefore Ah Yin's plant suppression is ineffective against it."

"I can use it to help you."

"To neutralize the suppression of that Blue Silver Emperor Vine at the crucial moment."

The Life Core fell silent.

It has lived for tens of thousands of years and has witnessed the rise and fall of countless geniuses.

But it had never seen anything like it before.

The power within him does not belong to this continent.

The life essence of that sapling far exceeded its comprehension.

It didn't know if the boy could really do it, but at this moment, it was willing to take the gamble.

It has lived too long, witnessed too many conspiracies and schemes, and seen too many fall from grace.

But this time, it wants to see a different sky before the dust settles.

Bai Yuan looked at the slightly flickering eyes of the Life Core, without rushing to answer.

He simply stood in that golden light, and after a moment, he spoke.

"Of course, if you trust me, we can go even further."

The Life Core's gaze sharpened slightly. "What do you mean?"

"I will leave a trace of my life force within you."

"At critical moments, it can create an opportunity for you to counterattack."

The Life Core hesitated for a moment.

It has lived for tens of thousands of years and has never allowed anyone's presence to enter its core.

But it looked into Bai Yuan's calm eyes,

He recalled the image of that silver-white figure effortlessly erasing Tang San's Divine Sense.

"Okay," it said.

Bai Yuan didn't say much, he just closed his eyes.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, and a flash of silvery-white light disappeared deep within his gaze:

"Xiao Bai, come here."

The silver-white figure reappeared behind Bai Yuan.

The Life Core trembled slightly.

This time, it truly saw the power flowing within that figure.

That force made it instinctively want to retreat, to root itself deep within the Golden Tree.

But it didn't retreat; it simply stood there steadily.

Xiao Bai didn't say much, but simply raised his hand, and the tender green leaf fell from his palm.

It floated lightly towards the Life Core, like a leaf blown away by the wind.

The moment the leaf touched the Life Core, it transformed into a ray of emerald light and merged into it.

Silent and still, it only rippled out in a very light circle.

"Use it in crucial moments."

Xiao Bai's voice was very soft.

The Life Core sensed that aura slowly settling deep within its core and nodded:

"I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration."

It opened its palm, and a rich golden light emerged from it, like a beating heart.

That ray of light had no weight, yet it emanated a life force that made people's breath quicken.

It slowly drifted towards Bai Yuan.

Bai Yuan reached out and caught the ball of light, which flickered gently in his palm.

Then it flowed into his body along his meridians, where it was Entanglement, enveloped, and absorbed by the roots of the sapling.

He felt the sapling in his dantian growing taller at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The golden veins on the leaves are deepening and extending.

The Life Core withdrew its gaze and looked back at Bai Yuan.

"You can leave now."

Bai Yuan looked at it and remained silent for a moment.

He turned around and pushed open the golden wooden door.

"That's all I can do."

The rest is up to you.
