Supreme Warrior in the City

The reason Su Yang thought this way was because the World Tree was born from Chaos.

However, how the World Tree came into being, no one knows.

The only thing people know is that the World Tree was born within Chaos. After that, fruit began to grow on the World Tree, and those fruits became the Great Worlds.

Within these Great Worlds, life was born, cultivation began, and various activities started to appear. Finally, the prosperous Three Thousand Great Worlds came into being.

But who can be certain that before their Three Thousand Great Worlds, there weren’t other Three Thousand Great Worlds, or even Four Thousand Great Worlds, or Five Thousand Great Worlds?

If all these Heaven-Reaching Giant Trees represented one World Tree, then perhaps countless Great Worlds and countless lives existed before this!

Su Yang boldly speculated that the reason he felt a familiar aura on this tree might be because he had once encountered the powerful beings from the worlds within this World Tree and left some traces.

But if that were truly the case, then where did all these lives go?

Su Yang wandered inside for such a long time without seeing a single Great World or a single life.

Could it be that all these lives have ceased to exist?

But what exactly happened that caused all these lives to vanish?

Su Yang stood at the top of the tree, his mind in chaos. He thought for a long time but couldn’t clear his thoughts. Or rather, he found it hard to believe his own speculations.

After all, the speculation that all these Heaven-Reaching Giant Trees were World Trees was too astonishing. Who could accept such a thing?

”Forget it, I won’t think about it anymore!” Su Yang shook his head helplessly. To understand the true nature of these giant trees, he estimated he would need to find the people in the seven coffins and ask them for clarity. His wild speculations here were utterly pointless.

Looking around and finding nothing special, Su Yang began descending down the tree.

The descent took quite a long time as well.

In the middle of his descent, Su Yang reached a branching point. He looked at the tender shoots and green leaves growing there. He originally planned to leave, but he suddenly noticed that the base of the tender shoot showed signs of withering.

Su Yang’s expression changed slightly. If the base withered, the entire tender shoot would definitely die, including the green leaves at the top.

Although Su Yang didn’t know the origin of this tender shoot and green leaves, the sorrowful feeling felt so familiar. He really couldn’t bear to see this tender shoot and green leaves wither just like that.

However, upon seeing the already withered tree trunk, Su Yang knew that the tender shoot could no longer absorb nutrients.

This giant tree might have died earlier, but its nutrients hadn’t completely dissipated, allowing the tender shoot to grow.

Later, when this giant tree completely withered and the nutrients were entirely gone, the tender shoot lost its sustenance and couldn’t survive anymore.

If things continued this way, the tender shoot would become like the other parts of the withered tree, completely dead.

Su Yang looked at the tender shoot and green leaves, remained silent for a long time, finally took a deep breath, and gently tugged at the base of the tender shoot, pulling it off.

He didn’t know the origin of the tender shoot and green leaves, but he couldn’t just watch them wither and die.

This tree could no longer enable the tender shoot and green leaves to survive on it, so the only solution was to transplant the tender shoot onto another giant tree. This way, the tender shoot would be able to continue surviving.

The process of picking the tender shoot was unexpectedly smooth. Su Yang initially thought he might not be able to pull the tender shoot out. But in reality, the whole process was entirely unhindered. When his hand touched the tender shoot, it seemed to automatically detach.

This situation made Su Yang feel that the tender shoot might have some connection with him.

Moreover, when the tender shoot fell into Su Yang’s hand, he clearly felt an extremely familiar sensation. Even his Undying Golden Body and Undying Bone seemed to be awakened by the feeling.

Su Yang didn’t understand what was going on, and suddenly another critical question popped into his mind.

Among the earliest born lives, he, along with the likes of Buddha and Taoist Venerable, were unique. But why was only he special, possessing the Undying Golden Body and Undying Bone, while others did not have these special traits?

This question troubled Su Yang for a long time, but no one could answer it.

Now, looking at the tender shoot and recalling his previous bold guess that these trees once were World Trees, Su Yang suddenly had a new thought: could his Undying Golden Body and Undying Bone be related to these trees, or rather, this tender shoot?

Thinking of this, Su Yang took the tender shoot, held it up to his eyes, and observed it closely for a moment, softly asking, ”Are my Undying Golden Body and Undying Bone related to you?”

There was no response, as Su Yang expected.

He shrugged his shoulders and no longer pondered these things, taking the tender shoot and descending again.

Upon reaching the ground, Su Yang didn’t continue to explore but instead turned back with the tender shoot. He planned to go to near those giant trees full of green leaves and find a tree brimming with Life Force to graft the tender shoot onto, ensuring its continued growth.

Walking back for quite a while, Su Yang suddenly discovered he had come to the location of the pit in the middle of the woods.

Indeed, this wood was too vast, and inside its directions were very strange. Su Yang found himself unable to navigate.

Still, Su Yang didn’t mind. Since the pit was in the middle of the woods, on the other side of it, there would be those green trees. He only needed to walk around the edge of the pit, and he would surely find them.

Su Yang walked directly to the edge of the pit, which was so wide that he couldn’t see the other side from where he stood.

However, the Tai Chi Diagram within the pit remained unchanged, just as it was before.

And the black hole was no longer above the Tai Chi Diagram, suggesting that it had completely retreated.

While Su Yang was here, those seven coffins inside the black hole couldn’t absorb the nutrients of the Tai Chi Diagram any longer and had already suffered such a loss. How could they remain here, giving Su Yang another chance to deal with them?

Looking at the enormous Tai Chi Diagram, Su Yang still couldn’t suppress his shock. Thinking of how his Divine Artifact was melted away by the Tai Chi Diagram, Su Yang felt even more fearful of it, retreating to avoid falling inside.
