Chapter 437

The World Tree.

Legend says it was the divine tree of the First Epoch.

It stood at the center of the endless void, its height unknown, covering a distance of hundreds of millions of light-years, with lush branches and leaves.

A single leaf was a plane.

Among them were low-level planes, medium-level planes, and even high-level planes.

At the end of the Second Epoch, during the cataclysm of the Twilight of the Gods,

this World Tree was cut down for unknown reasons, and its trunk was divided among the gods.

Those endless planes separated and drifted in the endless void.

These are the infinite planes of today!

Of course,

over endless ages,

too many planes have vanished into smoke.

And too many planes have been born under the influence of the rules of the endless void.

But—

without a doubt,

the foundation of those infinite planes was laid by that original World Tree.

Some once said

that the rules of the endless void only gained the ability to nurture planes by absorbing the laws of the World Tree.

The World Tree—

in the First and Second Epochs,

could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with supreme places like the Endless Abyss, the Boundless Hell, and the Eternal Continent!

In the ages that followed,

there was no trace of the World Tree in the endless void.

Even some supreme Main Gods who tried to cultivate it using branches they had obtained failed.

But now—

Li Li Li Yue stared fixedly at the palm-sized, ancient sapling before him.

Although this sapling was very small,

compared to the legendary World Tree, it was like a mayfly to a giant tree.

But—

he could not be wrong about that power to nurture worlds!

On this palm-sized sapling,

those nine leaves were nine completely real planes!

"How could the World Tree appear here..."

He took a deep breath and muttered to himself.

Purple light flashed in his eyes as he activated the Eye of Insight.

The seven effects left Li Li Li Yue shaken.

This was the first time he had seen a treasure with so many effects.

"99% of origin missing—"

"It is not a complete World Tree."

After a moment, he calmed down and whispered to himself.

If it were a complete World Tree—

then it would very likely be

a supreme treasure higher than the 'God-Making Tower'!

A treasure comparable to the entire City of Gods!

Such a treasure—

he would feel it was too hot to hold in his hands.

"These seven effects,"

"some of them should be able to coexist..."

A gleam flashed across his face as he gently reached out and grasped the World Tree.

The next moment,

with a thought,

he left the drawing space.

Extraterritorial Battlefield.

In front of another low-level thunder-type landscape.

Li Li Li Yue's figure slowly appeared. He looked at the scene ahead, where billions of thunderbolts surged and dark clouds covered the sky—

his expression was calm.

Boom!

His divine might manifested, and he continued to walk step by step toward the giant thunder mountain ahead.

"Friend, this place is my place of cultivation."

A low, True God's voice came from within the giant thunder mountain.

Rumble!

It was a Thunder Titan.

This Thunder Titan was over ten kilometers tall, his body wreathed in endless thunder.

Thunder dragons drilled in and out around his ears, terrifying to the extreme.

He held a thunderbolt several miles thick in his hand, resembling a thunderous mountain.

Standing on the mountainside of the giant thunder mountain, wearing ancient purple battle armor, he looked ferocious and terrifying.

"Extraterritorial Battlefield landscape."

"The strong shall reside here."

Li Li Li Yue spoke with a calm expression.

The moment his words fell—

a terrifying divine might erupted from his body.

It was as if round after round of bright moons were reflecting in the sky, with boundless divine might!

"Six... six bright moons!!"

The Thunder Titan's pupils constricted tightly, and he gasped.

A Middle True God with six bright moons...

No matter where, they were extremely powerful.

Even here, in the core of the Extraterritorial Battlefield,

where Middle True Gods were countless,

a Middle True God with six bright moons still stood at the peak level!

Except for the high and mighty Void Overlords,

a Middle True God at the six-bright-moon level was the strongest.

Without another word,

the Thunder Titan turned into a purple stream of light and vanished across the sky.

Li Li Li Yue did not stop him, his expression indifferent.

He waved his hand gently.

Instantly—

a complex magic array flew out, enveloping the entire giant thunder mountain.

Previously,

that Thunder Titan had also set one up.

However, such a magic array was too weak for Li Li Li Yue; he could break it with a casual gesture.

But—

it could serve as a warning.

And for Middle True Gods at the one, two, or three bright moon level, it still had some effect.

For example, before,

those two treasure-delivering boys had to use high-power treasures to break the magic array he had set up.

"This landscape—"

"is still 80% intact."

Looking at the dark clouds with billions of surging thunderbolts above his head, Li Li Li Yue whispered.

The landscapes of the Extraterritorial Battlefield were extremely peculiar.

After being completely refined by a True God,

after a few years,

they would slowly recover.

In fact—

for some True Gods who refined too slowly,

the recovery speed of the landscape was only one or two notches slower than their refining speed.

Like this low-level landscape before him,

it had been refined by that Thunder Titan for who knows how long,

yet it was still 80% intact.

"By absorbing and refining this landscape, my mastery of the thunder divine office—"

"should be able to reach 65%..."

A gleam flashed in his eyes.

65% mastery of a divine office.

This already belonged to the level of a Middle True God with six bright moons!

At the realm of a Lower True God,

to reach the divine office mastery of a top Middle True God!

If this were spoken of,

I am afraid no one in the entire endless void would believe it, or dare to believe it.

"But that is not the point—"

"The point is to refine the World Tree!"

He sat cross-legged, a rare look of excitement appearing on his face.

The World Tree—

that was the heaven-shaking treasure!
