Chapter 3531

Moreover, before the Heaven-Earth Life-Death Tribulation occurs, how can one even get a Hongmeng Spirit Tree leaf…

…into a certain world? This is almost impossible, so the tenfold claim is merely the most ideal scenario.

Almost impossible. Taking a step back, integrating it into the world during the Heaven-Earth Life-Death Tribulation could achieve a lifespan extension of about seven to eight times.

If integrated after the Heaven-Earth Life-Death Tribulation, it would be five times at most. Although it is a good thing, it still depends on luck and opportunity.

The hongmeng gem's eyes gleamed slightly, "Master, then you can integrate it into the Yushen World."

"The Yushen World is still in its initial state, and the Heaven-Earth Life-Death Tribulation hasn't begun yet. This is the best time to integrate it."

The hongmeng gem even had an illusion that this item was prepared specifically for Lin Moyu. Lin Moyu shook his head, "I don't plan on integrating it into the world."

The hongmeng gem froze for a moment, "Why?" Lin Moyu said, "No matter how many Great Tribulations my world can survive,"

"even if its lifespan is extended tenfold using this, there will eventually be an end. To me, living for thirty billion years or three hundred billion years…"

"…makes no difference. If I am to live, I want eternal life; otherwise, there's no need to live for so long."

"By then, friends and family will all be gone, leaving only one person in the world. It would be too lonely."

"It is not what I seek." The hongmeng gem roughly understood Lin Moyu's character and knew that this line of thinking was normal for him.

"Then what does Master plan to do?" Lin Moyu said, "It has another ability: reproduction."

"If the conditions are right, it can reproduce. I plan to give it to the Little Tree."

"Letting the Little Tree propagate it might allow me to harvest more Hongmeng Spirit Tree leaves. Furthermore, during this process,"

"the Little Tree might undergo unexpected changes." Lin Moyu had a bold idea in his heart: could the Little Tree use this leaf as a catalyst…

…to evolve once again and become a Hongmeng Spirit Tree? This would be extremely difficult,

and the chances are slim, but Lin Moyu felt that as long as he tried, it would be worth it even if he failed.

He had absolutely no idea what conditions and materials were needed for the Hongmeng Spirit Tree leaf to reproduce. Since he didn't know, he didn't bother guessing.

He simply handed the matter over to the Little Tree, sending the Hongmeng Spirit Tree leaf in front of the Little Tree inside the Yushen World, and explained everything to it in detail.

The Little Tree whispered, "Master, I don't have absolute certainty." Lin Moyu smiled and said, "There's no need for certainty."

"Just give it a try. If it works, great; if not, so be it. In short, even if we lose out on this deal,"

"it will only be a minor loss that won't hurt us deeply. But if by some chance it succeeds,"

"your future will hold infinite possibilities, or at least a much higher ceiling than now." The Little Tree gave an approving hum.

"I'll try." It wrapped around the Hongmeng Spirit Tree leaf and moved to its own main trunk.

A small opening appeared on the main trunk, and a few tender sprouts grew out to connect with the Hongmeng Spirit Tree leaf. The unique power of the Little Tree…

…merged into the Hongmeng Spirit Tree leaf. In an instant, the Hongmeng Spirit Tree leaf burst with intense purple light.

The purple light shone upon the Little Tree, dyeing it purple. The vast power within the Little Tree's body…

…surged collectively toward the Hongmeng Spirit Tree leaf. At the same time, clouds surged in the Yushen World as countless qi of heavens beginning swept over.

It turned into a vortex and drilled into the Little Tree's body. Like a bottomless pit, the Little Tree devoured the qi of heavens beginning.

It swallowed almost as much as came. Normally, the Little Tree could never have absorbed so much qi of heavens beginning; it would have exploded and died long ago.

But now, the qi of heavens beginning it sucked in merely circulated once inside its body before flowing into the Hongmeng Spirit Tree leaf.

The Hongmeng Spirit Tree leaf was the true bottomless pit. Seeing this, Lin Moyu was not stingy either, drawing in even more qi of heavens beginning.

"I'll give you as much as you want." After the qi of heavens beginning circulated once inside the Little Tree's body, it became tainted with a hint of the Little Tree's aura…

…before being absorbed by the Hongmeng Spirit Tree leaf. During this process, the Hongmeng Spirit Tree leaf gradually fused with the Little Tree.

The Little Tree's originally lush leaves fell one after another, turning into dust.

Then, one World Fruit after another fell off on their own, likewise turning into dust. The Chaos Spirit, which had still been in the middle of evolving…

…stopped its evolution. In a short while, the Little Tree had become a bare pole, its branches completely bald.

With no leaves and no fruit, after a while longer, the thick branches began to wither.

They too turned into dust. Lin Moyu frowned slightly, "Little Tree, how are you doing?"

The Little Tree said, "I'm fine, I feel good." As for where exactly it felt good, it couldn't say clearly.

But the Little Tree knew it wasn't in any danger. These leaves, fruits…

…and branches that turned into dust seemed to have been weeded out, completely discarded. Looking at this scene,

Lin Moyu felt that the Little Tree was undergoing an unimaginable qualitative change—a transformation of destruction before reconstruction, far greater than the changes brought by his own promotion.

It was much more powerful. Once this qualitative change was complete, even the Little Tree didn't know…

…what shape it would take. When the branches had all turned into dust, it was the trunk's turn.

The incredibly thick trunk also began to wither and turn into dust. After a moment, the trunk turned completely to powder.

The Hongmeng Spirit Tree leaf, carrying a few tender sprouts, drifted down slowly onto the Little Tree's roots, which likewise turned into dust.

In a short while, the Little Tree became a pile of ash. Lin Moyu did not move; his connection with the Little Tree remained perfectly intact, and rather than weakening, it had actually strengthened.

The number of Rebirths had not changed at all, remaining in a state of completion. This also meant that the Little Tree was in no danger.

Atop the ashes, the Hongmeng Spirit Tree leaf looked incredibly striking. After waiting a moment longer, a touch of green bloomed from the ashes, and a jade-green branch…

…wrapped around the Hongmeng Spirit Tree leaf, piercing through the ashes. At that moment, it was like the clouds parting to reveal the sun,

welcoming a Rebirth. Lin Moyu let out a sigh of relief. It truly was destruction before reconstruction; the Little Tree had been reborn from the ashes.

A fresh green sprout slowly grew from the ashes, quickly turning into a small trunk that was only a palm high.

Chapter 4670: Seemingly Familiar

The trunk was bare except for a single Hongmeng Spirit Tree leaf. At this moment, the Hongmeng Spirit Tree leaf was quite a bit smaller than before.

It had grown firmly onto the trunk, becoming a part of the Little Tree. The trunk began to grow, though at a very slow pace.

But it never stopped for a single moment; every minute and every second brought changes.

Growing bit by bit, at its current speed, it would take at least several hundred to a thousand years to return to its original appearance.

However, even in its current state, the vitality contained within it surpassed its previous peak. The Little Tree's realm had become strange.

Lin Moyu couldn't make out its realm either. Currently, there were no concrete rules in the Yushen World, let alone any Great Dao, so naturally there would be no realms.

Lin Moyu used to view the Little Tree through the lens of the Chaos Ancient Wilderness's realms, but now this method was clearly no longer applicable. The Little Tree seemed to have merged into one with the Yushen World.

As it grew, its roots also spread in all directions, taking root within the world.

Passing through layers of space, they reached every corner of the world. After destruction and reconstruction, the Little Tree's consciousness fell into a deep sleep.

It began its true evolution and promotion, using the Hongmeng Spirit Tree leaf as a catalyst and sacrificing all of its power.

Along with a massive amount of qi of heavens beginning, Lin Moyu didn't know if the Little Tree would ultimately transform into a Hongmeng Spirit Tree. At least for now,

the results were quite good. Although the Hongmeng Spirit Tree leaf did not integrate directly into the world, as the Little Tree's roots…

…spread to every corner of the world, Lin Moyu could feel that his Yushen World was undergoing some marvelous changes.

The hongmeng gem saw this and said, "The world's fundamental nature has grown stronger." Lin Moyu nodded, "Yes."

"I can feel this change, and even I have benefited." The hongmeng gem said, "This kind of change has both pros and cons."

"The good thing is that the world can withstand more Great Tribulations, and the interval between each Great Tribulation has become longer."

"This is equivalent to extending its lifespan. The downside is that the timing of the first Great Tribulation is also pushed back, and we don't know when we will face the Heaven-Earth Life-Death Tribulation."

Lin Moyu said, "Later is better. You know what I want." Nowadays, what Lin Moyu pursued was not merely longevity.

Instead, it was eternal life—entering the Life Forbidden Zone and surviving. He wanted, and needed, to do what those Supreme Experts of the past had failed to achieve.

"If one cannot achieve it, whether one lives for ten billion years or a hundred billion years, the final outcome is the same. What meaning would there be then?"

With every new level reached, there would be different pursuits. Lin Moyu's pursuit had already surpassed those Great Venerables.

He had surpassed people like Great Venerable Tianzai. While they were still pursuing the level of a Supreme Expert, Lin Moyu had already left the concept of a Supreme Expert behind.

Meanwhile, the Little Tree was currently undergoing its transformation, and everything was going smoothly.

Lin Moyu once again drew in the qi of heavens beginning, turning it into rain that poured down onto the ashes. The Little Tree instinctively conveyed its joy.

Lin Moyu gave a light chuckle and left the Yushen World. Next up were the two Tianchu Techniques.

"I hope to gain something from them." Strength, unlike external objects like the Hongmeng Spirit Tree leaf…

…was something of one's own if one could comprehend even a bit of a Tianchu Technique. It could be converted into one's own power. He took out the Tianchu Technique from the Canglong World.

Sending his soul into it, a massive amount of profound information flooded in instantly.

This information was complex, obscure, and extremely chaotic. What was contained within was not concrete text,

but rather countless runes. Lin Moyu's consciousness entered an illusory space, with countless peculiar runes flying before his eyes.

These runes were different from the runes in formations; Lin Moyu had never seen them before. They did not form any formations,

but instead flew about wildly without any order, with no pattern to speak of. Not only were the runes difficult to comprehend and understand,

but they also interfered with his consciousness. Sometimes, a rune would even pass right through his consciousness.

Whenever this happened, his consciousness would momentarily freeze, making it hard to think. If he didn't want to be disturbed, he had to distract himself to avoid the runes.

Since the runes flew everywhere without pattern, it made it impossible to concentrate on thinking.

This increased the difficulty even further. Lin Moyu muttered to himself, "Is this the Tianchu Technique?"

"What is the technique like?" The hongmeng gem knew of the Tianchu Technique but had never seen its actual form.

It quickly asked, "Master, the Tianchu…" Lin Moyu said, "A bunch of runes. Very chaotic, and very strange."

The hongmeng gem said with doubt, "I have indeed heard before that a Supreme Expert once said…"

"…the formation of a world seems to have some connection with runes, but the details are unclear. What exactly is strange about them, Master?"

Lin Moyu said, "I seem to have seen these runes somewhere before." "Ah!" The hongmeng gem let out a soft cry, clearly very shocked.

Lin Moyu said, "I just have this feeling, but I can't explain it clearly. I need to focus entirely on comprehending them now."

"I'll leave the outside to you." Lin Moyu decided to concentrate fully on comprehending them to see if he could gain anything.

For now, he ignored external matters and left them to the hongmeng gem, who patted its chest in guarantee.

"Don't worry, Master. You don't need to worry about the outside." Lin Moyu nodded, sinking his entire consciousness into the Tianchu Technique.

He officially began his comprehension. Countless runes danced around, in all shapes and sizes, each different and none repeating, containing the ultimate truths of heaven and earth within.

They were exceptionally profound. Even though the Canglong World had completely crumbled, this Tianchu Technique from the Canglong World…

…did not crumble with it. It was still intact. Gazing at these runes, Lin Moyu's mind was completely focused on them.

Observing, studying, analyzing, and dismantling them, he was not speaking falsely.

He truly felt a sense of familiarity, and as his observation deepened, this feeling became clearer and clearer.

They were not runes from formations; this familiarity did not come from formations. Events of the past surfaced in Lin Moyu's memory.

Back then, when he first saw runes, he had a sense of familiarity. The first runes he had ever seen…

…were not the runes in formations, but the great world runes. Back when he was still in the Small World,

the Great World had for some reason targeted him, preventing him from breaking through. However, after he successfully made his breakthrough,

the great world runes receded like a tide and never appeared again. Back when he first saw the great world runes,

he had felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Because of this, he had also had doubts.

This doubt remained unresolved until a conversation with Venerable Tianming, which finally cleared it up.

The reason the Great World had targeted him was, first, because he was an outsider, and second, because Great Venerable Tianzai had, for his sake,

interfered with the normal operation of the Great World. Part of the reason the great world runes were damaged back then was because of Great Venerable Tianzai.

These causes and effects were all counted against him, which was why the great world runes had targeted him.

Now that he thought about it, this could also be considered a test. Good and bad coexisted; there are always gains and losses.

Later, when he saw other runes in the Great World, those runes were child's play compared to the great world runes.

Whether in complexity or power, they were far inferior to those of the Great World. From then on,

his understanding of runes soared to the heavens, and no rune could stump him.
