As the Shadow Plane reopened, powerful beings exuding the aura of World Lord emerged, merging with branches of the World Tree at designated locations under Baturu's command.
Each of the first-level branches growing from the trunk of the World Tree requires the integration of a Level-Six World Lord or a Barbarian; only they can unleash the offensive power of these main branches.
Level 2 branches merge into Level 5 life forms, while Level 3 or less important branches merge into Level 4 life forms.
Baturu placed his palm on the World Tree, feeling the World Tree's consciousness strengthen and the energy within the World Tree become more active.
The World Tree has no soul; it can only be controlled by the World Lord and barbarians.
The command system, constructed on the World Tree by three thousand level six, five, and four personnel, can unleash approximately 70% of the World Tree's attack power.
If dealing with ordinary enemies, or against a world like the Returning Breath World that won't retaliate, a few hundred World Lord assisting in controlling the World Tree would be sufficient, which was also the method Baturu had chosen before.
The World Tree was activated by a thousand World Lord, who then manipulated World Tree to completely shield the Returning Breath World and absorb its energy.
But now, facing the most powerful Supreme Lord, the previous manipulation by the World Lord is no longer enough to threaten the Supreme Lord.
Only by allowing more World Lord to fully integrate into the World Tree and personally control a portion of World Tree can they play a role in battles against Supreme Lord.
The reason why the World Tree could not unleash its true power before might be that although the Returning Breath World Will knew about the World Tree, it did not regard it as the Supreme Lord force.
The Wizard World was only told about the combat power of two Supreme Lord, Black Soluo and Baturu; the World Tree was not even noticed by the Returning Breath World Will.
Once all the World Lord had completed their fusion according to the command, the World Tree instantly awoke like a slumbering beast, radiating its Supreme Lord pressure towards the starry sky!
Even with the slightest breath, several times the number of roots rapidly grew, plunging deep into the Returning Breath World Returning Breath World frantically absorbing its energy.
The absorption rate is now several times faster than before.
All the absorbed energy is stored within the World Tree, ready for use in the upcoming battle.
Every branch of the World Tree swayed constantly, as the World Lord, integrated into the World Tree World Tree, rapidly adapted to its body and changed their attack methods.
They cooperated to find ways to unleash their strongest combat power.
They only have fifteen days, and they must complete all preparations and adapt to the World Tree's fighting style within those fifteen days.
Once the great war begins, Baturu will hardly have the energy to control the World Tree. At most, he can only provide some auxiliary abilities. The World Tree will still be controlled by the World Lord.
Baturu reached out and grabbed a thick book, which appeared in his hand.
Two-Colored Little Bookworm jumped out of the book and nodded emphatically at Baturu.
"I'll leave the rest to you."
"Don't worry, leave it to us."
Baturu directly slapped the Hundred-Page World into the World Tree.
Energy emanated from within the Hundred-Page World and spread throughout the World Tree, causing every green leaf on the World Tree to radiate light.
While the World Tree's immense size makes it stand out in many ways, its energy consumption far exceeds that of Supreme Lord of the same level. Without a soul, the energy consumed by the World Tree alone is a huge headache.
There are two thousand World Lord, and energy absorbed from within the Returning Breath World. The energy level seems high, but it's just a drop in the ocean for the World Tree. This energy isn't even enough to power the World Tree for a single day.
To sustain the World Tree for an extended period, it still needs the Hundred-Page World; only the terrifying energy level within its body can guarantee the World Tree's long-term combat power.
Fifteen days passed in the blink of an eye as preparations were made with every second counting. Beyond the Returning Breath World, the vast World Tree awaited the arrival of war...
Three figures exuding a terrifying aura rolled in from the depths of the universe.
The three Supreme Lord had not yet arrived, but their overwhelming killing pressure stopped the World Tree from swaying.
Their terrifying power enveloped the entire galaxy, bringing everything under their control.
Space solidified, and the space was sealed again to prevent the Baturu from escaping.
Although the World Tree is cosmic in scale, it is controlled internally by thousands of World Tree World Lord. Faced with Supreme Lord, they are bound to be suppressed.
Fortunately, the World Tree was suppressed by the pressure of the three Supreme Lord for only a moment, and it immediately returned to normal.
With the Hundred-Page World and the World Tree sharing the burden with these World Lord, they won't experience the helplessness of facing an Supreme Lord, and they can still ensure the normal performance of a portion of their strength.
Baturu's eyes shone like the sun as he moved forward, instantly blocking the path of the three Supreme Lord who exuded a deadly aura, forcing them to stop mid-speed in the starry sky.
"Gentlemen, please stop in your tracks, or I will become impolite."
Baturu reached out and grabbed two giant axes that seemed to be used to split the heavens and earth. Facing the oncoming violent aura, Baturu did not retreat, but resisted with his own aura.
The Bloodline Controller, dressed in a simple wizard's robe, looked at Baturu. His gaze swept over Baturu's entire body, yet it seemed to penetrate Baturu's outer defenses, revealing the surging Bloodline within Baturu's body.
Although level is no longer important after level seven.
But the Bloodline Controller... Level 8!!
"A pure barbarian Bloodline, less than five thousand years old, and having risen to the Supreme Lord in such a short time—a rare genius."
The evaluation from the Bloodline Controller caused the gazes of the Cosmic Wanderer and the World Breaker to fall upon Baturu.
Such a short advancement time is indeed a rare talent; even among the Supreme Lord of the Wizard World, none have been able to advance within ten thousand years.
The resolute-looking middle-aged Cosmic Wanderer was the only one of the three that Leo had ever met.
He was an object of worship for many neutral wizards, a selfless individual who single-handedly cared for many talented neutral wizards.
Leo once asked the Eye of Destruction why it dared not attack the Beast Blood Boiling, Eye of Destruction did not give a direct answer to Leo's question.
However, Leo later learned the answer through various inquiries: it was because the Eye of Destruction had been given a "meticulous" education by the Cosmic Wanderer.
The Eye of Destruction disappeared for a period of time, operating in the Wizard World as an energy clone, which was when it was taught a lesson by the Cosmic Wanderer.
Behind this intelligence is... the power of the Cosmic Wanderer is even more terrifying than that of the Eye of Destruction, who possesses a cosmic-level treasure.
Cosmic Wanderer... Level 8!!
"Did you kill the Lord of Life?"
The Cosmic Wanderer stared directly at Baturu; he could instantly detect any lie Baturu was making.
"I killed him."
"Why?"
The third Supreme Lord, the World Breaker, had a sinister gaze and a voice as cold as a glacier sweeping across Baturu.
World Breaker, Level 7!!
"Because I need the Endless Pot!"
Baturu's lips curled up.
Of the three, this one is the weakest and easiest to deal with, but unfortunately, he has to be handed over to Black Soluo.
The three Bloodline Controller were not in a hurry to make a move. Rather than taking down Baturu and rescuing Black Soluo, they were more interested in figuring out the truth.
By the time they appeared in the starry sky of the Returning Breath World, they already had a fairly good understanding of the situation there.
The World Tree, which uses the Returning Breath World as nourishment, exudes an aura of Supreme Lord, yet its malnourished state is of no concern to them whatsoever.
It's obvious at a glance that the World Tree's soul isn't within its body. With thousands of World Lord controlling the World Tree, a single, empty-shell Supreme Lord can't pose much of a threat to them.
They also saw what was happening inside the Returning Breath World; all living beings in the entire world had perished.
The World Tree's energy, and the world, which was originally full of energy, is now about to drop to the level of a large world.
Even if they could be rescued now, they wouldn't be of much value.
If we could have discovered this situation a month earlier, then saving the Returning Breath World would have been worthwhile. Now, even taking a few extra glances is an immense blessing for the Returning Breath World!
One large world is not enough for the three of them to act simultaneously!
Since the situation in the Returning Breath World cannot be changed, it's better to find out the truth about what has happened in recent years.
They don't care whether the Returning Breath World is destroyed or not; what they care about is the Wizard World!!
"Is it true that you possess the two cosmic-level treasures of the Atomic Control Stigmata Great Wizard?" the Bloodline Controller asked Baturu.
"True."
Tell me why it's in your hands.
"We killed him and took it from him."
"What about the Tower of Elements and the Eye of Destruction?"
"Kill them too."
"You think you can rely on just one Supreme Lord, one Level-Six Lord of Souls, and a World Tree without a soul?"
The World Breaker laughed. With such meager strength, to claim he killed two Supreme Lord and a Level-Six Stigmata Great Wizard —and a Level-Six Stigmata Great Wizard with the combat power of Supreme Lord —wasn't that a joke?
Do they think those three are idiots?
Where was the murder carried out?
"Beside a large world."
"What time?"
Four years ago.
"If the three of you don't believe me, you can wait and see. I think you'll receive news of their deaths soon, and then you'll know whether what I said is true or not."
Baturu didn't offer any further explanation, but instead looked at the three Bloodline Controller with a slight smile.
As the Bloodline Controller listened to Baturu's fluent answers to their questions, he had a bad feeling and was basically certain that something had really happened to the Tower of Elements.
"This is our first meeting, but I don't see any unfamiliarity in your eyes. You seem very familiar with our identities, as if we've known each other for a long time. Can you explain that?" The Cosmic Wanderer stared directly into Baturu's eyes, carefully observing every subtle change in Baturu's expression.
"..."
