Volume 3 Original Chapter 143 World Tree
The teacher’s teachings?
Are you talking about... the strongest man of the human race, the only true God today, "The Founder of the Great Axe"?
After hearing what Zushu Venerable said, Lin Yan seemed to be thinking about something.
In this whole incident.
The Venerable Zushu had been hiding behind the scenes. When the large number of immortal Zerg warriors appeared, if he really wanted to stop them, it would naturally only take a thought.
But considering that he didn't want to alert the enemy, he just watched it happen.
The cost of only 300,000 cosmic-level warriors and tens of billions of residents of the Imperial Capital Star can cause an alien cosmic master to voluntarily jump out and die. The balance of this kind... is extremely disproportionate.
Lin Yan put himself in the other person's shoes and thought that he would do the same thing.
It sounds cruel, but this is the rule of the universe!
Not to mention that the target this time is a cosmic master.
Even though Lin Yan had previously ordered Elder Si Fanqi to lead a team to kill Yao Hai and Jeffreys, he had only said that the scope of the battle should be controlled as much as possible to allow ordinary people to survive, but the first goal was still to kill the two immortal gods.
During the mission execution, it is normal for a life-bearing planet to fall into mass extinction.
It is inevitable and hard to prevent.
Take the assassination of Lin Yan in the Wulong Star Domain for example. During the detailed investigation and subsequent handling by the Virtual Universe Company, it was found that the number of planets that were completely destroyed due to Zerg revenge reached thousands!
This is war!
Even if the Virtual Universe Company transforms the planet where the geniuses reside and ensures their safety on the planet, it seems foolproof.
But if the Zerg latent organization directly detonated a high-level Vulcan Source Crystal, which would be comparable to the self-detonation of a powerful king, it is easy to imagine that no matter how much safety modifications are made, it would be impossible to prevent and withstand it.
Of course, such extreme cases are generally not considered.
After all, those geniuses are not worth the price they pay.
And for Lin Yan to be worth such a price, what they need is soul control, not killing.
In the face of a war between races, especially in front of a truly powerful being that traverses the universe, any one of them possesses the terrifying power to destroy the heavens and the earth. A planet? In front of those beings, it is like a toy that can be manipulated at will.
Therefore, when it comes to all matters related to ethnic wars, there is no room for mercy.
…
The Virtual Universe Company has its own reasons for arranging its core members; points, treasures and opportunities are secondary.
The purpose of independently choosing training tasks at the cosmic level is mainly to increase practical experience, break away from the fixed thinking of the academic school, and tap into one's own potential between life and death.
The domain lord level is released and holds great power. During this period, he is still under the protection of the Virtual Universe Company . The tasks assigned to him are not too dangerous, but it is a very critical process.
This is a process of "letting people see, think and do".
In the process of carrying out the mission, you will face different situations, understand the dark side of the world, and have the power to make your own "choices".
Strengthen their beliefs and firm their will.
Because... when you reach the realm master level, you will actually step onto the battlefield outside the domain and experience the brutal and bloody tribal wars.
Even for those who think they like killing, killing one or a hundred people is nothing, but what about killing tens of thousands, millions, or even hundreds of millions of lives?
It will be a huge test of your own faith!
Wars on Earth will cause many soldiers to suffer from mental illness, not to mention the bloody and terrifying battlefields outside the world.
Especially on the battlefield outside the domain, there are all kinds of illusions and temptations, which can easily amplify the emotions in one's heart. If one's will is not strong enough and one lacks persistence, it is easy to doubt oneself, leading to mental breakdown and many strong people have died as a result.
In fact.
It's not just these warriors who need inner persistence. The pillars of the tribe like "Ancestor Tree Venerable" also require another kind of persistence.
For the weak, the ethnic group is their support, because only through the unity and strength of the ethnic group can they survive.
For geniuses, they can gradually become stronger because of the cultivation and guidance of the group.
Even the countless warriors on the battlefields outside the domain can exchange their contributions to the tribe for various equivalent rewards in the form of "military merit".
However, the stronger the person, the more sacrifices are needed for the group to become stronger.
Those masters of the universe need to dedicate themselves and carry the entire tribe! It is their endless years of dedication that have accumulated the treasures of these tribes.
But the most important one is the founder of the giant axe.
As the strongest person in the universe among the human race, he also possesses the most treasures! Even in normal times, he would give away treasures to the race for free without asking for anything, as if he were a great patriarch who was taking care of the race and protecting it.
The weak will suffer if they go alone, but the strongest people in the universe who go alone are very free and easy. Their strength stands at the highest point of the cosmic pyramid and they can obtain many treasures. They only need a few treasures alone, and the others are generally useless, so they are very free and easy.
But if you have ethnic group concerns, you have to be careful and cautious in doing things, and you have to continue to contribute to the ethnic group and cultivate successors.
"This is what the Zushu Venerable refers to as 'responsibility'." Lin Yan sighed.
When people become stronger, the relationship between things will also change.
To the founder of the Great Axe, the human race is more like a "burden" and cannot help him in any way. On the contrary, the founder of the Great Axe... once he dies, this great peak race of the primitive universe, no matter how tall its building is, will eventually collapse.
but!
The founder of the Great Axe did not think so, but regarded the human race as a "responsibility".
The reason why the Zushu Venerable did not care about gains and losses and resurrected these people was that even among , there was a high possibility that there would not be even one person who could break through to immortality in the future.
But that doesn't matter.
[I saved them only because I didn’t save them before. ]
He is practicing his persistence and fulfilling his responsibilities.
This incident happened because of his choice, so the ending of this incident should also be perfect because of his choice.
Lin Yan watched from afar.
The illusory imperial capital star became solid from the reversed time and space, and the lives that had just passed away became alive again.
What Lin Yan saw was the kindness of... the Ancestral Tree Lord, beneath the ruthless mask he wore because of the tribal war.
That is the kindness of mankind.
…
Swish!
The figure of the Zushu Venerable flashed and appeared in front of them.
The towering figure looked at Lin Yan with his gentle eyes: "Lin Yan, during the time you stay in Qianwu Universe, I will always protect your safety, you don't have to worry."
"certainly……"
He smiled and said, “When you go further, you will have to rely on yourself.”
When King Qianwu and King Tongnan heard this, they were shocked and had different expressions.
With their identities, they can naturally better understand the identity of Zushu Zun and the meaning behind this sentence.
Even if Lin Yan used some token today to make the Lord of Chaos City descend from the original secret realm to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, they would not be too surprised.
After all, this talent is obvious to all. If the aliens succeed in assassinating humans directly in human territory, it would be a complete loss of face.
However...Zu Shu Zun's status is comparable to that of the Lord of the Universe, and he is not a member of the Virtual Universe Company at all.
Even the Lord of Chaos City could not make such an arrangement for him. Obviously, this was not a decision made within the Virtual Universe Company.
How much does the human race value Lin Yan that they would send the Venerable Zushu to be responsible for his safety during his time as a domain master?
The message conveyed here even goes beyond the concept of "top cosmic overlord".
It is true that humans have only three top cosmic overlords, but the number of top cosmic overlords in the Hong Alliance far exceeds this number. Even if the "Palace Master of Eclipse" of the Virtual Universe Company is replaced by someone else to guard the Xue Luo World for thousands of years, no trouble will arise.
The final decision was made by the strongest among them, "Zu Shu Zun". In their opinion, there may be some hidden meaning in this.
"It seems that this little guy, apart from what he shows on the surface, has something even more incredible behind him."
King Qianwu and King Tongnan looked at Lin Yan and couldn't help but have such thoughts in their minds.
They are all extremely curious deep down.
Less than two hundred years.
What Lin Yan showed was enough to make anyone dumbfounded, but behind this, is there something even more incredible hidden?
Lin Yan didn't think too much about it and bowed respectfully: "Thank you, Your Excellency. I understand."
He was grateful.
If it weren't for the Venerable Zushu today, the predicament he faced would never be overcome by himself, and it might even be a dead end.
This is also due to differences in information.
Apart from his talent for understanding the laws, Lin Yan's little-known secrets are the key reasons why the human race took the initiative to arrange a top cosmic overlord for protection.
Otherwise, even if he was protected by a cosmic master, he would not be able to stand here at this moment.
Lin Yan was amazed by the moves . They actually went to such lengths just for a small domain lord like themselves.
During their time abroad, domain lord-level members are already under a high level of protection and have their own guards. When they are performing missions, the Virtual Universe Company will specially mobilize personnel to assist them based on the mission objectives.
It was reasonable for Lin Yan to be protected by Zushu Zun during his time as Domain Lord, but when he reached the Realm Lord level, this would no longer be possible.
At that time, Lin Yan's movements would be difficult for aliens to grasp, and he also had a certain ability to protect himself, so he could only rely on himself.
Everything should be done in moderation.
No matter how talented you are, you must go through hardships to become a truly strong person.
"Yes." The Venerable Zushu nodded with satisfaction.
A treasure palace surrounded by wisps of green light appeared out of thin air in his hand. It was his high-level flying palace-type treasure "Xu Yu Palace".
Wow!
The World Tree shook its trunk gently.
The immortals, realm masters and even domain masters who had just been directly transferred out of the interstellar battleship by the divine power of the Venerable Zushu returned to the cabin in the battleship at this moment.
The emerald green light slowly converged, and the aperture dissipated like mist.
At this moment.
The rich breath of life spreads into the world, and the world seems to wake up.
At the same time, Venerable Zushu threw the Xuyu Palace in his hand, and suddenly the entire Xuyu Palace began to float.
boom……
Xuyu Palace immediately generated an incredibly powerful suction force, which directly acted on the World Tree, causing it to vibrate and buzz, and the world tree was taken into the palace's treasure.
The body of the World Tree is extremely large, so it is naturally difficult to move. Under normal circumstances, the Ancestral Tree Venerable would keep it in his own kingdom of God. This time, he brought it along to ensure that everything would be safe.
Then he turned around and disappeared into thin air.
Seeing the Venerable Zushu leave, Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little envious in his heart.
This is the incarnation of the World Tree, it's really eye-catching.
Lin Yan also had some simple ideas for the third clone. His first and second clones chose "Green Line Devourer" and "Blood Hound" respectively. The most important requirement for the third clone was undoubtedly "super-large divine body".
Among them, "World Tree" was the top choice he expected.
In addition to "controlling time and space" and "huge size", the World Tree has a third major advantage, which is its strengthening and stabilizing effect on the Kingdom of God.
In the information he knew about the World Tree, there was no record that the Ancestral Tree Venerable possessed a World Tree clone.
However, it is recorded that the "Mantu God General" of the Ancestor God Religion once obtained a branch of the most powerful world tree. Mantu God General planted this branch in his own kingdom of God, and the branch grew into a huge god tree. This god tree formed by the "world tree branch" is called the "Tree of Life".
The tree of life stabilizes the Kingdom of God.
The more stable the kingdom of God is, the more oppressive and restraining it will be ten or a hundred times stronger once the enemy breaks into it. The god Mantu used this trick to directly bring the enemy into the kingdom of God and killed many of them.
Generally speaking, the gods in the kingdom of God rely on the kingdom of God to oppress and restrain the enemies, and the kingdom of God blesses itself, so its strength generally increases several times.
But with the tree of life planted in the Kingdom of God, it was able to bless itself and oppress its enemies, and when combined, its strength instantly jumped a hundredfold.
"The Tree of Life alone is so miraculous. If it is the World Tree, it will definitely make the Kingdom of God more powerful and more stable."
"World Tree is indeed a very good choice."
When he saw it today, he realized that with the secret innate ability of the World Tree, he had mastered time and space to the same level as the Lord of the Universe, and could even reverse time and space to resurrect.
It can be said that... although the Venerable is not the Lord of the Universe, his strength is stronger than many Lords of the Universe of alien races.
What if we are in the Kingdom of God?
When Lin Yan thought of this, he couldn't help but pay more attention to the choice of "World Tree".
After all, according to his situation, he would surely break through both the immortality and the cosmic master thresholds at the same time. If his third clone was the "World Tree", he would be able to reverse time and space directly, which was quite a temptation.
Of course, he was just thinking about it.
Lin Yan has always been very cautious about the choice of clone. He still needs to consider his own needs. It is too early to consider it now.
…
At this moment, the 30 interstellar battleships and the Imperial Capital Star in the distance were suddenly plunged into chaos.
After the Venerable Zushu hid his tracks.
Those who had awakened from their slumber, especially those who had been resurrected from death, were all a little dazed at the moment.
Because they all have memories of the past, including those who just died, and they all know very well that they have fallen... but now they are resurrected?
"What happened?"
"I, I'm already dead, right?"
"Those immortal Zerg warriors are gone."
Everyone was shocked.
With the knowledge of these people, they have no idea what the Lord of the Universe is, let alone the ability to resurrect the dead.
However, the immortal gods who roamed the battlefields outside the domain did know something.
They clearly saw the energy burst of the immortal Zerg warriors, the complete disappearance of the Imperial Capital Star, and almost all of those cosmic-level warriors died, and then soon lost consciousness.
When they woke up again, those who were obviously dead were all alive, without any injuries. What shocked them even more was that even the ordinary people in the Imperial Capital Star were not injured at all.
Is this a dream?
no.
There were obvious signs of damage on the starship.
In other words...reversing time and space to revive them? The Lord of the Universe? Who would be so generous as to let a Lord of the Universe reverse time and space to revive them?
The most confused among them was Elder Si Fanqi of the Golden Horn Clan.
He did see the assassination scene of the alien cosmic master, but he didn't know what happened afterwards. However, putting everything together, it is easy to guess what happened afterwards.
Lord of the Universe!
At that critical moment, the Lord of the Universe descended, saved His Highness Lin Yan, and resurrected those humans.
How horrible is this?
It was not difficult for Elder Si Fanqi to understand that a human genius would be assassinated by an alien spy, but it was not difficult for him to understand that a cosmic master would assassinate him and the Lord of the Universe would come... This was completely beyond his imagination.
In his long life, he had never seen an existence at the level of the Lord of the Universe.
In the Golden Horn tribe, there are only a few elders. Even Herodotus, the greatest elder in the tribe’s history, the eternal pride of the Golden Horn tribe, has not stepped into such a terrifying level.
But such a great existence actually appeared here in the extremely short period of time when His Highness Lin Yan was assassinated?
He imagined that "Herodotus" would not dare to delay even a moment for the safety of his tribe, but... he simply couldn't imagine it.
Because the geniuses in the tribe...are not worthy.
Elder Fanqi of the temple sighed.
He looked forward.
He could guess that the giant whose face was hidden in the clouds in the starry sky was the almighty Lord of Qianwu. On the side, a handsome young man, as dazzling as a star, was talking to Lord Qianwu, looking neither humble nor arrogant.
He is just a domain lord.
But somewhere in the dark——
Another voice sounded in Elder Si Fanqi's heart.
That young figure is from the pinnacle of the universe - the strongest genius in human history. In the future... he will be even greater than the great "Herodotus".
