It was a small tree that was entirely golden, even its leaves were golden; to be precise, it was a miniature version of the Golden Ancient Tree.
Outside of it, there is a thin, transparent film that completely isolates the tree from the outside world.
Of course, it is actually that Golden Ancient Tree.
However, to put it simply, it's a bit complicated.
When Mo Yuan retrieved the Golden Ancient Tree, it was already in a state of near collapse. According to Qiankun's analysis, as long as it could not return to the natural laws of the Douluo Continent from the alternate dimension for a long time, it would spontaneously regenerate and become Life Seed again.
Mo Yuan could certainly see this situation, so he directly placed the Golden Ancient Tree from the Gravity Singularity into the small alternate dimension he created through the Star of Eden.
Although it looks very small now, it is actually hundreds of meters tall inside this transparent membrane. It just appears small due to the influence of spatial forces.
To accelerate the Golden Ancient Tree's transformation, Mo Yuan specially infused it with a lot of life energy—yes, in the flowerpot beneath it.
That is a converter that transforms the energy of Rare Metals into life energy.
However, this also has some side effects. The rich life energy seems to have allowed the Golden Ancient Tree to take root and sprout again, and it has now grown back to its former appearance.
Although their inner selves are completely different, their outward appearances remain the same.
Mo Yuan looked at the magnificent Golden Ancient Tree on the table and probed the Xiao Kong with his Mental Power.
If he wasn't mistaken, the life energy of the Golden Ancient Tree seemed to have fluctuated suddenly just now.
The Golden Ancient Tree is in a different state than before.
The outline of the tree has become somewhat blurred. The branches in the crown have shrunk and are now close to the trunk. Countless fine cracks have appeared on the surface of the trunk, and a very faint golden light shines through the cracks.
The ends of the tree roots are continuously contracting, and the roots that originally extended outwards are slowly curling inwards, gathering into a spherical shape.
"Interesting..."
" Qiankun, analyze it again."
A silvery-white sphere of light emerged from Mo Yuan's palm and entered the Xiao Kong.
The scan lasted approximately twenty minutes.
After the aura of Qiankun receded, the analysis results appeared directly in Mo Yuan's mind.
"Test complete. Calculations show that the Life Seed's condensation process is approximately 98%. The outer physical shell has begun to peel away gradually, with an estimated remaining time of about twelve hours. The process of removing non- Origin substances within the body has been initiated. A high-density accumulation of soul energy has been detected, located at the core of the ancient tree's trunk."
Mo Yuan probed that area with his Mental Power and indeed sensed a solid mass of soul energy deep within the main trunk.
The energy, enveloped in a layer of golden life force, was being slowly transferred outward from the main body.
There were still faint fluctuations of consciousness on the surface of the soul energy. Although the frequency of the fluctuations was very low, the structure was intact and there was no sign of dissipation.
" Yun Ming... he really has a lucky life..." Mo Yuan murmured the name.
He withdrew his Mental Power and took out the Spacetime Shuttle from his Storage Space.
The Divine Shuttle is a silver-gray shuttle-shaped Soul Tool. After his modifications, it is now fully capable of carrying soul energy.
Using this to house Yun Ming's soul isn't a bad deal, since its most valuable aspect is the technology it contains; compared to that, the thing itself is relatively unremarkable.
If he wanted to, he could easily mass-produce it.
Mo Yuan placed the Spacetime Shuttle on the table and then dialed Ya Li's Soul-Conducting Communication.
"Lord Mo Yuan?" Ya Li's voice came from the other end of the communicator, tinged with a hint of cautious probing.
Previously, Mo Yuan never contacted her alone, but now she suddenly called through the Soul-Conducting Communication...
With her sharp mind, she naturally guessed that it was related to Yun Ming.
"Come to Schicksal Floating Island right now, Yun Ming's soul will be released soon."
"What?"
After he finished speaking, the other end of the communication suddenly fell silent.
Then came the sound of rapid breathing, followed by Ya Li's respectful reply, "Yes, Lord Mo Yuan, I'll be there shortly."
Just by listening to her voice, you could tell how anxious she was.
Helpless, Mo Yuan still opened a Spatial Passage for her.
Just as Ya Li was about to leave, she was startled, then immediately realized what it was and stepped through the dark golden spatial portal.
A flash of golden light, and Ya Li, dressed in a long emerald green dress, appeared in the room.
As soon as she appeared, Ya Li eagerly approached the desk, looking at Mo Yuan with anticipation. "Lord Mo Yuan, Brother Ming, he..."
"Shh..."
Mo Yuan gestured for her to be quiet, then pointed to the potted plant in front of him.
"See that? There are about ten more hours. When the Life Seed reaches 100%, the ancient tree will automatically shed all non- Origin matter, and Yun Ming's soul will be released." Mo Yuan pointed to the Divine Shuttle on the control panel. "This is the Spacetime Shuttle, which I've modified to be large enough to hold a person's soul. When the soul is released, it will be directly absorbed into the Divine Shuttle. His soul is at the Divine Origin Realm level, and only this kind of Divine Artifact can allow him to reside and remain stable, but he cannot leave the range of the Divine Shuttle for the time being."
"Will he be conscious?" Ya Li stood beside the desk, her hands clasped in front of her, keeping a very humble posture.
"Don't worry about that, it will definitely happen, but it won't be as active as it is in its normal state. After the soul leaves the body, perception will become very blurry, and one can only vaguely perceive the outside world. The specifics will only be clear after the soul is released. However, with his Mental Power, he should be able to recover after a few years of recuperation."
Ya Li nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Actually, she didn't understand much of what Mo Yuan said, but all she needed to know was that Yun Ming would survive.
" Brother Ming, we'll see each other again soon..."
As Ya Li pondered this, she found a spot against the wall in the office and stood there, her gaze fixed intently on the miniature Golden Ancient Tree on the desk.
Mo Yuan glanced at her. "Alright, sit down. There are still ten hours left. Standing is too tiring."
"No need, I'll just stand. It won't hurt to stand for a while," Ya Li said. "Lord Mo Yuan, if there's anything you need me to do, please don't hesitate to ask."
Mo Yuan shook his head. "Not for now. Just keep an eye on the monitoring equipment when the soul is released."
"Good."
After saying that, Ya Li fell into complete silence, her mind wandering.
Judging from the smile on her face, she was probably reminiscing about the good times she had with Yun Ming.
Mo Yuan had nothing to say about this situation.
Who says this isn't Douluo Continent? God of Love's territory.
According to unofficial historical records, the God of Love once merged with the Dao and became the creator god of the Douluo Universe.
(Just kidding, not some anecdote.)
