Chapter 212: Three Hundred Years Later! Demon Ancestor Tree? No, That Is the World Tree Protecting All Living Beings Like Us!

Three hundred years of time was not very long on a world scale.

But for the living beings within the world, it could be considered quite long.

Especially for those ordinary humans, several generations had probably passed in three hundred years.

And these three hundred years in the Azure Sky World could be described as epoch-making changes.

First was the popularization of the Martial Dao Evolution system. The original Cultivate system of the Azure Sky World had a relatively high threshold, and the major factions vaguely practiced joint monopolies.

This caused the people at the bottom of the Azure Sky World to be cut off from upward mobility, unable to touch the upper-level paths throughout their lives.

It was only three or four hundred years ago that the Martial Dao Evolution system began to spread.

Compared to the world's original Cultivate system, the threshold of the Martial Dao Evolution system was outrageously low.

As long as someone was a person, they had the qualification to Cultivate the martial dao.

Of course, what level one specifically Cultivated to depended on oneself.

But at least it gave ordinary people a chance.

Secondly, the biggest change in the Azure Sky World over the past three hundred years.

Was that ancient tree that had grown to an unknown number of tens of thousands of zhang, resembling a pillar holding up the sky.

This ancient tree was the holy tree of the Azure Sky World. Every year, various Experts of the Azure Sky World would personally come beneath the ancient tree to worship.

As for the other living beings of the Azure Sky World, logically speaking, no idle personnel were allowed to stay within hundreds of thousands of li around such a holy tree.

But the holy tree was merciful and did not mind ant-like living beings approaching it.

And just a few thousand li away from the holy tree.

A group of people had just arrived here to observe the holy tree from afar.

At a distance of several thousand li, no matter what one looked at, it should become incomparably tiny.

But when this group of people looked at the holy tree at this moment, they still felt it was towering, magnificent, and impossible to look at directly.

"This is the holy tree. The reason why our Azure Sky World was able to end that world-destroying war several hundred years ago relies on the great power of the holy tree."

The middle-aged man at the head, who should be playing the role of a 'master', introduced it to the dozen or so youths behind him.

"I also heard about it."

"The holy tree is too great."

The remaining youths nodded one by one, their expressions full of yearning.

"However."

At this moment, a youth looked somewhat hesitant, and finally summoned the courage to say, "I heard some people say that the holy tree has a lot to do with the initiator of that war several hundred years ago—the Demon Ancestor Tree."

After saying this, the youth carefully stole a glance at his master.

In fact, this saying was not rare in the Azure Sky World.

Three hundred years of time was not enough to cover up everything. In the invasion war of the Extraterrestrial Evil God, countless Cultivators of the Azure Sky World rushed to the battlefield.

Many Cultivators were still alive today and still remembered the image of the Ancestral Demon Tree, and the holy tree worshipped by all living beings now looked somewhat similar to that Demon Ancestor Tree.

"Demon Ancestor Tree? Utter nonsense!"

The middle-aged man's tone was angry. He had also heard of such claims, but he sneered at all of them.

"I ask you, back then when the Extraterrestrial Evil God wanted to invade our Azure Sky World, what was the purpose?"

The middle-aged man looked at the remaining youths and asked in a deep voice.

"That Extraterrestrial Evil God wanted to destroy our world."

"Right, the Extraterrestrial Evil God is too detestable. It wants to devour everything, including us."

"Fortunately, the Extraterrestrial Evil God was defeated, otherwise we would have been in a miserable state."

This time, all the youths gave shockingly consistent answers.

"In that case, if the holy tree really has something to do with the Extraterrestrial Evil God, do we still have time to stand here?"

The middle-aged man said resolutely, "I don't care how certain people defile the holy tree, but you must at least have your own judgment."

"If it weren't for the holy tree, would those high-ranking individuals open up resources to us?"

"If it weren't for the holy tree, there would be no dissemination of the Martial Dao Evolution system at all. How many of you could finally embark on the path of Cultivate?"

"If it weren't for the holy tree, would our Azure Sky World be so peaceful and stable over the past few centuries? Without a single trace of turmoil?"

The more the middle-aged man spoke, the more excited he became. Many of his elders had lived through that era hundreds of years ago.

When he was young, he listened to his elders chatting casually and learned that before the battle of the Extraterrestrial Evil God Battlefield started, the Azure Sky World was very chaotic, with major factions constantly fighting.

The high-and-mighty Azure Sky Gate overlooked all living beings, having the ability to resolve the war but not wanting to solve it, under the fine-sounding name of 'governing by doing nothing'?

The middle-aged man's words plunged the youths into deep thought.

Indeed.

These words made a lot of sense.

If the holy tree was really related to the Demon Ancestor Tree.

Then now, the entire Azure Sky World, let alone being destroyed by the holy tree, should at least be enslaved by it. Would children like them still have the qualification to walk here and observe the true form of the holy tree?

This was completely opposite to the description of the Demon Ancestor Tree.

Although the youths were not old, they also knew that the Martial Dao Evolution system they Cultivated originated precisely from the holy tree.

Those high-ranking individuals actively spread the martial dao precisely by the command of the holy tree.

Consequently, they had the qualification to Cultivate the martial dao.

Today's Azure Sky World, under the will of the holy tree, was thriving with vitality. Even the most ordinary people had the ability to survive.

All living beings even had the possibility of pursuing a better life.

How could such a holy tree have any relation to the ferocious and tyrannical Demon Ancestor Tree?

"I don't care why those people desperately question the holy tree, or what good it does them to do so."

The middle-aged man took a deep breath and continued, "But calling the holy tree the Demon Ancestor Tree is too ridiculous."

"How could the holy tree be the Demon Ancestor Tree? It is the World Tree protecting all living beings like us."

The middle-aged man looked toward the holy tree in the distance again, his eyes gleaming with a gaze of worship.

"Right."

"Damn it, the enemy is actually hidden within our ranks."

"From now on, whoever dares to slander the holy tree goes against me."

The youths spoke one after another. They were not clear about that invasion war of the Extraterrestrial Evil God hundreds of years ago.

But they could feel that the life they were living now was very good, and all of this came from the holy tree.

It was a very simple truth: what was said did not matter; the key was what was done.

The prosperous Azure Sky World today was rapidly crushing the rumors and gossip questioning the holy tree.

At the top of the holy tree.

This place was close to the natural barrier of the Azure Sky World. Going up a little further might break away from the range of the Azure Sky World.

At this moment, a figure was sitting cross-legged on the main trunk of the holy tree.

"Three hundred years."

This figure was none other than Lin Yuan.

To be precise, it was an 'Incarnation' derived from the Evil Demon Seed of the Ancestral Demon Tree.

After becoming the Ancestral Demon Tree, Lin Yuan obtained all the abilities of the Ancestral Demon Tree, among which was the demon seed Incarnation.

Although Lin Yuan had become a demon tree in this traversal, he was still human in essence. Therefore, he directly urged the demon seed Incarnation to form a human body and permanently resided within it.

"What a pity. Most of the innate abilities of the Ancestral Demon Tree are entrusted to the Ancestral Demon Tree itself."

"Even if fully comprehended, they cannot be used in the Main World."

Lin Yuan sighed.

For example, the Evil Demon Seed required seeds formed by the demon tree. When Lin Yuan returned to the Main World and resumed his human body, he could not condense the Evil Demon Seed, and thus could not execute methods like 'parasitism'.

Unless Lin Yuan was willing to abandon his human body and completely transform into the Ancestral Demon Tree, it would be possible to inherit everything.

With Lin Yuan's current understanding of the Ancestral Demon Tree, he could completely create a technique for transforming the essence of life through Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability.

In this way, upon returning to the Main World and urging this transformation technique, he would be able to transform towards the Ancestral Demon Tree.

According to the cognition of the Human Alliance, the definition of a human did not depend on the Physical Body, but on the Soul.

As long as Lin Yuan's Soul remained unchanged, even if he became the Ancestral Demon Tree, he would still belong to the Human Race.

However, the price for this was too huge. Firstly, regarding the race, the Ancestral Demon Tree could not Cultivate Martial Dao.

This would turn the painstaking efforts of Lin Yuan's past six traversals into ashes.

Secondly, to the Azure Sky World, the Ancestral Demon Tree was a behemoth that required the power of an entire world to resist.

But in the Main World, it was not so unsolvable.

However, Peak Bloodline life forms like the Star Sea Roaming Kun, and even other powerful special life forms, were much stronger than the Ancestral Demon Tree.

As for the many abilities of the Ancestral Demon Tree, such as the 'parasitism' method that contributed the most.

It might be unsolvable in the Azure Sky World, but in the Main World, it was definitely not considered terrifying.

The so-called parasitism affected the will and true spirit. Not to mention anything else, the Three Goddesses, who observed all humans every moment, could analyze abnormalities through daily behavioral details.

"However… if one really wants to continue using the abilities of the Ancestral Demon Tree, it is not without a way."

Lin Yuan touched his chin and thought silently in his heart.

The simplest way was to pay some Boundary-Breaking Source Power to bring a seed of the Ancestral Demon Tree to the Main World.

Then Lin Yuan himself would Cultivate it, and once it grew slightly, he would control it through control methods.

As for Human Civilization in the Main World, the Ancestral Demon Tree could at most be considered a rare kind of special life form.

And those high-order Evolvers of Human Civilization basically all controlled some special life forms for their own use.

For Lin Yuan to control the demon tree, it could not be simpler.

Even when the time came, Lin Yuan could refine the Ancestral Demon Tree into his own 'Incarnation' for better control.

"Bringing the entire Ancestral Demon Tree back would consume an unimaginably large amount of Boundary-Breaking Source Power."

"But just a single seed would Peak at ten wisps of Boundary-Breaking Source Power."

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.

The Gate of Myriad Realms had the function of bringing items from traversed worlds back to the Main World, which could be realized by consuming Boundary-Breaking Source Power.

As for how much Boundary-Breaking Source Power, it depended on the size and tier of the item brought back.

The demon tree seed was only the size of a fist, how much cost could bringing it back incur?

In the three hundred years, Lin Yuan exclusively enjoyed the resources of the entire Azure Sky World, and the harvest could be described as extremely astonishing.

First was the nourishment of the Primal Refined Gold.

This piece of cosmic rare treasure came from the Main World, which even the Red Kun Star Lord, who was Eighth Order Invincibles, cherished incomparably, even fighting to the death with several alien Experts of the same tier for it, and attracting the gaze of ninth-order aliens.

After Lin Yuan resolved the Ancestral Demon Tree, he consumed a wisp of Boundary-Breaking Source Power to bring it from the Main World into this Realm.

The reason for doing this was naturally to nurture the Primal Refined Gold.

Of course, Lin Yuan was not nurturing it by himself.

The power of the Ancestral Demon Tree leaned towards evil and chaos. If it were to nourish the Primal Refined Gold, not only would it waste time and energy, but it might also affect the formation of the Primal Refined Gold.

The place where Lin Yuan nurtured the Primal Refined Gold was within the Origin ocean of the Azure Sky World.

The Origin ocean of a world was extremely pure and clean, making it simply the best place to nurture Primal Refined Gold.

Weapons like the world sword were nurtured and formed within the world's Origin ocean.

Putting the Primal Refined Gold into the Origin ocean of the Azure Sky World to nurture would indeed have an impact on the Azure Sky World.

But the impact was not large, and Lin Yuan would only nurture it for a few hundred years at most. After Lin Yuan returned, the Azure Sky World would have plenty of time to recover.

"Hmm?"

Lin Yuan lowered his head and looked, faintly seeing a massive Origin ocean with a piece of metal floating up and down within it. Looking from afar, the shape of this metal was already similar to a 'bell shape'?

"The world's Origin ocean has no life imprint, which is why it can replace me to nourish the Primal Refined Gold."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Theoretically speaking, the nourishment of Primal Refined Gold could only be done by oneself.

Because if one borrowed the power of other Experts to nourish it, it would be tainted with the other party's life imprint, and by then it would be unclear whose Primal Refined Gold it actually was.

But the world's Origin ocean did not have this hidden danger. World Consciousness was inherently similar to instinct and had no so-called life imprint.

"The Martial Dao Evolution system."

Lin Yuan's thoughts turned. Over the past three hundred years, Lin Yuan had completely pioneered and perfected the seventh-order chapter of Martial Dao, and was even considering the path of the eighth-order chapter.

"Although I haven't Cultivated the Martial Dao Evolution system, during the process of pioneering the seventh-order chapter, my Realm has also been improving. Now I am already at the seventh-order limit. As long as I return to the Main World and take the scarlet spirit liquid, I can quickly reach the Peak of the seventh-order king level."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Without the corresponding Realm, Lin Yuan would have no ability at all to pioneer a complete seventh-order chapter.

Since ancient times, people had only heard of Evolutionary Grand Scholars standing on high to pioneer low-order evolution paths, but had never heard of low-order Evolvers pioneering high-order evolution paths.

Because if the Realm was not reached, you simply couldn't feel the essence of Cultivate, let alone pioneer it.

"The one thousand one hundred and thirty-third core space models."

Within Lin Yuan's eyes, a silver ocean rippled faintly. In the span of three hundred years, Lin Yuan had thoroughly comprehended one thousand one hundred and thirty-three core space models.

You must know that these were core space models, which expounded a certain aspect of the essence of Space Rules.

Even Red Kun Star Lord, with the blessing of his true form's Star Sea Roaming Kun comprehension of Space Rules, had not yet comprehended all core space models to this day.

For Lin Yuan to be able to comprehend more than a thousand core space models at the seventh-order level was simply a perverted Prodigy.

"I wonder to what extent this much comprehension of space models can expand the Internal World."

Lin Yuan's expression was somewhat expectant.

The size of the Internal World, besides requiring a sufficiently powerful Physical Body to carry it, mainly depended on one's own comprehension of Space Rules.

The deeper the comprehension of Space Rules, the larger the Internal World would be, and the more World Power could be mobilized.

Just as Lin Yuan intended to continue Cultivating and comprehending the Dao.

"Hmm?"

Lin Yuan's expression was slightly surprised.

The next moment, several massive consciousnesses.

From the distant extraterrestrial Void Realm, suddenly descended outside the Azure Sky World.
