Novel Full Chapter 691 - Heavenly World Tree
After the five elders wee dragged away, Ancestor Zhang heaved a deep sigh. His expression was sad, as if he was carrying something heavy.
God King's death had also taken a negative effect on him. They were close friends since time immemorial and experienced many life and death situations. It wasn't an exaggeration that Ancestor Zhang knew everything about God King since day one.
For some people in the know, God King was a very antisocial person who wouldn't mingle with anyone unless it's necessary. As a matter of fact, he wouldn't even breathe the same air as others. Only Feng Lin was the one who managed to enter his high tower and became closer with him, albeit it was a very long time before the two became actual friends.
However, life was too cruel for the two of them. One was aiming to be a sinner to save the world, while one was stopping him from becoming one. God King had to commit a grave mistake which would he regret for the rest of his life.
People only knew that God King killed Feng Lin, but they didn't know how hard it was for God King. Aside from Ancestor Zhang, Feng Lin was the only one who accepted who he was and treated him like a real brother, only to be repaid by betrayal. It was a bitter pill that the god had difficulties to swallow.
Perhaps, if only Feng Lin agreed with the the plan, they would have remained friends. Ancestor Zhang had always supported God King no matter how the people look at him and brand him. For the ancestor, God King was doing everything for a reason and he had a full trust to the latter.
"Feng Lin, are you seeing this? Maybe this is the bad karma God King has accumulated and it's hunting us now." Ancestor Zhang smiled wryly as he looked at the ceiling, blankly.
The ancestor knew that this wasn't the end of everything. In fact, the bad events weren't even yet half for the empire and he had to do something about it. After all, he couldn't let it go down. Someone had to stand for the empire for it to overcome this predicament.

"Let's go." In the Soaring Canyon, Jin Rou finally finished his meditation and stood up, "We have to go there now. Several powerful figures are already on their way here."
"Indeed, Your Majesty. I can feel their auras too even though they are still far away." Emperor Randies smiled.
After which, the trio bursted their power and flew above the horizon in full speed going to where the Heavenly World Tree was.
A while ago, the Heavenly World Tree finally appeared. It was a gigantic tree which pierced the sky and clouds. Its branches couldn't be seen as it was clearly hidden high above.
Thousand hymns were playing as Jin Rou, Emperor Randies, and Athena were traveling at full speed.
They passed by million clouds and a floating river. After 30 minutes, they finally reached the large and vast tree.
"So big..." Athena gasped. This was the first time she saw the Heavenly World Tree despite hearing it numerous times in official records, "The description in the records was still an underestimation. It far surpassed when you see the Heavenly World Tree personally."
"You're right. Truth be told, it wasn't this big when I saw it in the past but it's not that far from the current size. I can feel that it has improved significantly." Emperor Randies was also surprised. This tree became bigger and stronger!
The heavens were pierced, the top couldn't be seen by the naked eyes!
Jin Rou stepped forward and looked at the big tree. His gaze didn't linger anywhere as he continued looking at the large tree.
It felt like an eternity flew by, yet it was only several minutes after that.
"I see, so you are the fortunate one this time." Then suddenly, a maiden-like voice sounded their ears. It came from the tree as it continued, "A very capable being this time. With two Universal Law legacies in the body, you might be probably be the strongest human I have ever seen."
The Heavenly World Tree rarely praise its fortunate ones it encountered. Even Feng Lin only received a decent praise from the tree despite chasing it for countless of years in the past.
It paused for a moment and spoke, "Fortunate One, tell me what you wish for, although I doubt that you will still need a blessing from me since you are already this powerful."
"Heavenly World Tree, I certainly need something from you. That's why I'm here, right?" Jin Rou spoke casually as if he speaking to a close friend.
"Let's hear it, then." The Heavenly World Tree spoke.
"I want to meditate on the top of your very existence, that place where everyone seeks for." Jin Rou didn't hesitate to state his request. The tree only appear once in a blue moon, so he couldn't waste this opportunity.
"Oh? You have quite a big request there. That spot isn't available for humans like you." The Heavenly World Tree said, "However, I can make an exception for you in one condition."
"Please do say it." Jin Rou said.
"Answer this single question, why do you want to reach that place?" The Heavenly World Tree asked. It possessed a hint of coldness in its voice.
Jin Rou expected this question and smiled, "Simple. I just want to merge the third legacy with the two legacies in my body. With your blessing and capabilities, no matter what, I don't think I still have a slim to low chance of succeeding."
The tree didn't comment even after a long while. It looked to be speechless by Jin Rou's reason. It thought of many reasons and possibilities but it didn't think of this certain reason.
From Jin Rou's reason, it was obvious that he was making the Heavenly World Tree a safety net and to increase his chances of winning.
Even the emperor was choked speechless. Perhaps, only Jin Rou would be gutful enough to ask an absurd request and state another absurd reason in front of the tree!
