Chapter 1124: Chapter 537: Source Seed! Taoist Ancestor Returns_3

“I understand your thoughts, Seven Star brother.”

“But!”

“This is not just my decision, it is also the will of the Tree Spirit and the Source Seed itself.” The Fifth Hall Master solemnly said, looking at Li Yuan: “We all hope you will refine the Source Seed.”

“In your hands, the Source Seed can reveal its true might, and it is the best match with the ’Cosmic Divine Body’.”

“The Life God King once said that one must cultivate the ’Cosmic Divine Body’ to enter the realm, but now that you have just successfully cultivated it, you should know how low the probability is of a peerless genius like this emerging among the strong ones of our world in the coming years.” The Fifth Hall Master urgently said.

Li Yuan fell into deep thought.

Indeed!

A demigod wanting to cultivate the ’Cosmic Divine Body’ probably needs a Ten-Star Meridian to even have hope of entering the realm.

A Nine Star Pulse Semi-Divine? At least when Li Yuan was at Nine Star Pulse, he spent two hundred years without success.

“Instead of ultimately perishing together.”

“It’s better to give it to you!”

“Moreover, the Source Seed has been dormant all this time; waking it up so thoroughly, with our capability, we can’t make it go back to sleep.” The Fifth Hall Master said, “If you don’t refine it, it’s a complete waste of this Supreme Treasure… it will be of no use to us.”

“But I…” Li Yuan said in a low voice.

“Don’t worry, this action is truly us deceiving you, forcing you, it has nothing to do with you.” The Fifth Hall Master hastily added: “So, you can refine it with peace of mind, there’s no pressure, and after the fusion refinement, you can directly return to the Divine Realm of your hometown.”

The Fifth Hall Master’s words were all to remove Li Yuan’s last psychological burden.

In exchange between the two.

“Buzz~ Buzz~” The aura emanating from that emerald-green seed became more terrifying, as if it was about to break free and soar into the sky.

Obviously, it had reached the most critical moment.

“Seven Star brother.”

“The path of cultivation is a struggle against the heavens, why hesitate?”

“Don’t waste the efforts of the Life God King.” The Fifth Hall Master urgently said: “If you truly feel burdened, then just think of helping us when you become a Divine King or even a Divine Emperor in the future.”

“Your hometown’s Divine Emperor was able to send you here.”

“The Immortal Ancestor could come.”

“Could it be that you cannot come again to our realm in the future?” The Fifth Hall Master urged: “Do I really have to kneel and beg you?”

Li Yuan gritted his teeth, finally came to his senses, and said in a low voice: “Alright, I accept it.”

Li Yuan understood.

At this point, if he refused to accept it, then he would be the stubborn one.

All gratitude can only wait for the future.

“Refine!”

Li Yuan no longer resisted, stepping forward he reached the emerald-green seed, and just as he raised his finger to touch the emerald-green seed… instantly, it flew into Li Yuan’s Origin Power Space.

“Boom!”

The emerald-green seed appeared in the Origin Power Space, instantly seeming to release countless invisible tendrils, permeating every corner of the Origin Power Space, and also directly penetrating the Life Fire Source Pill…

Madly devouring Li Yuan’s Origin Power.

“What?” Li Yuan was shocked, feeling that the pure Origin Power he had cultivated was being absorbed and consumed like a dam bursting…

Furthermore!

Li Yuan’s body, at that moment, seemed to form a gigantic Taotie, starting to madly devour the energy drifting in the Inheritance Hall, which was then absorbed by the emerald-green seed…

“What is this so-called Source Seed?”

“So mysterious.” Li Yuan was shocked, having no time to ask in detail during the exchange with the Fifth Hall Master.

But the consciousness projection of the Fifth Hall Master nearby was relieved: “Finally willing to undertake the refinement.”

Suddenly.

“Seven Stars Semi-Divine.”

“Don’t absorb that Origin Power, not even the Divine Crystals.” An old voice sounded: “Absorb the ’World Tree Origin Essence’ I supply to you.”

“The Source Seed, in its initial growth! Must devour sufficient pure power, only the World Tree Origin Essence can provide the best foundation for it, and also become your best support.”

It was the voice of the Tree Spirit.

Following that.

“Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~” A surge of incredibly pure and unbelievable power immediately transmitted to Li Yuan’s body through the four walls of the hall.

“Absorb!” Li Yuan was not one to delay, and with Ten-Star Meridian in operation, frenziedly devoured this pure power.

“Life Essence?” Li Yuan felt the special nature of this power.

“Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~”

And in the Origin Power Space, once the ’Source Seed’ absorbed the World Tree Origin Essence, it immediately became more resplendent…

But it itself seemed like a bottomless pit.

Continuously devouring, yet the aura it emitted did not change much… the birth of the Source Seed seemed to require a very long time.

“How long will this take to devour?” Li Yuan wondered, only feeling that his connection with the Source Seed seemed to grow closer.

“Seven Stars Semi-Divine.”

“Be patient, according to the message left by the Life God King, it is estimated that it will take about nine years for the Source Seed to perfectly fuse with your Origin Power Space and reach its initial peak, so there’s no need to rush…” The Tree Spirit’s voice sounded.

Nine years?

Li Yuan nodded slightly, having already stayed in this world’s realm for over 200 years, he didn’t mind another nine years.

“Space Law.”

Li Yuan operated the Star Meridian while dedicating much of his energy to comprehending the Space Law.

“Tenth Stage Mystery.”

“Foundation of the World.” Li Yuan silently pondered, after centuries of cultivation, he felt he could grasp the ’World Direction’ to a higher level, reaching a bottleneck.

And the fifth instance of Spiritual Guidance, experiencing the vast universe, further loosened this bottleneck.

Once broken through, that would be the tenth rank level!

…

Time flows like water, and in the blink of an eye, three years had passed.

“Woosh~ Woosh~ Woosh~”

The towering World Tree, spanning millions of miles, suddenly emanated waves of astonishing energy, swiftly spreading in all directions.

In an instant.

A massive number of demigods and pseudo-gods living long-term on the World Tree felt suppressed, with their minds faintly trembling.

One must know.

The origin power of the World Tree far exceeds that of the Heavenly Divine, thus being able to suppress the entire Life Divine Realm, although its origin is almost as vast as the world itself, and cannot be mobilized… But once it erupts, its might is terrifyingly immense.

Those demigods and pseudo-gods were nearly injured simultaneously.

“What happened?”

“What’s happening to the Holy Tree?” Not only were the demigods and pseudo-gods surprised, but many True Gods stationed for a long time at the World Tree were also shocked.

The True Gods, with their mighty perceptions, far exceeded those of the demigods and pseudo-gods.

“Why do I feel a slight change in the World Tree’s aura?”

“You felt it too? So did I!”

“It seems, the Holy Tree has aged somewhat.” Many True Gods noticed this.

In a short time, consuming massive amounts of Origin Essence; even the mighty and magnificent World Tree couldn’t easily compensate.

Whoosh!

Si Wu, the Hall Master, appeared.

“Grand Hall Master.” Numerous True Gods respectfully saluted.

“The Holy Tree is undergoing a special transformation.” Si Wu, the Hall Master’s voice was indifferent: “Pass down the order, except the Elder Palace Master, all divine beings and demigods are to temporarily withdraw from the Holy Tree’s range.”

“Yes.” Everyone respectfully followed the order.

Soon after.

The central area of the World Tree became empty.

“Source Seed!”

“To think it would devour so much?” Si Wu, the Hall Master’s eyes held a trace of worry: “Even consuming thirty percent of the World Tree’s Origin Essence is not enough?”

“If it continues devouring, it will cause irreversible damage to the World Tree’s origin, and the World Tree is already aged.”

Through the long ages.

Not only the other Life Trees approaching their end continue to collapse, but the World Tree does the same.

Other Life Trees affect only one Life Spring Realm.

But what the World Tree affects is the entire Myriad Spring Void… If the World Tree were to completely collapse.

Si Wu, the Hall Master, could hardly fathom it.

“Hope everything goes smoothly.” Si Wu, the Hall Master, also knew that once the Source Seed was activated, it could not be stopped. That would lead to even more severe consequences.

…

The impact of the World Tree’s decline is unimaginably deep.

Nine Thousand Realms, Heavenly Realm.

The Hongguang Palace, composed of innumerable palaces, suddenly radiated intensely today, and its brilliance lit up the vast heavens and earth.

It wasn’t just the Hongguang Palace; the other six Dao Ancestor Palaces in the Heavenly Realm also blossomed with dazzling light.

In an instant.

All the Heavenly Monarchs of the seven Dao Courts knew that the Seven Great Ancestors had simultaneously returned.

Soon after, inside the Hongguang Palace.

Eighteen Heavenly Monarchs emitting strong auras, along with the Fire Fighting Emperor, arrived simultaneously.
