Chapter 411: Planting the Primordial Divine Tree, Fruit of Primordial Divine Power, Fruit of Death Divine Power
Luode nodded at Sargeras, then found two planets of suitable size.
"How do you plan to plant this special tree? I want to observe up close." Sargeras' massive body floated to Luode's front and he asked.
He had heard of Luode planting divine trees, but had never seen it; this time he wanted to observe how this special planetary plant is planted, perhaps it could help his Titan creation plan.
Sargeras already knew that in the Marvel world, the Celestials are a kind of being similar to Titans, but they are a different existence, created by a more powerful, higher-dimensional being.
And the birth of the Titans, frankly, is also full of chance; perhaps an unknown and powerful being created these Titans. (Glass shards eating trees is too disgusting, Mom, earlier you said the Eternals couldn't match Titans, but then you changed it to be on par with Titans, the primordial beings began as creators of the six cosmic forces.
It could even be the creator of the Titans, then changed to be on the same level as the Titans, but lost its own breeding ground and has no form; ah, the latest version DLC seems to have changed again, I'm speechless, let's just go with the original version! This method of planting the divine tree might help me cultivate newborn Titans in the future.
"First, to plant this divine tree, the planet must possess strong vital life energy.
"So ordinary gas giants won't do, and planets with no life at all won't do either." Luode said.
Planting the divine tree is still quite stringent; even if I cultivated the latest version of the divine tree sapling possessing a trace of primordial divine power, it cannot change this rule.
"?? If that's the case, then we must sacrifice a life-bearing planet, but you told me to find an energy-rich star system?" Sargeras asked strangely.
"There's no need to destroy two life-bearing planets just to plant the divine tree; as long as we give life to these two planets, we can basically meet the planting conditions." Luode said with a smile.
"Oh! Giving a planet life, how do you do that?"
"Just let the planet have life and dense vegetation!" Luode said, then descended onto a metal planet.
This planet is even slightly larger than Earth, about 1.5 times Earth's size, and its gravity reaches about 1.4 times Earth's.
Luode clasped his hands, his microcosm burned at full power, injecting strong divine power, chakra power, and primal life force into the microcosm.
"Super Tree Realm Descent!" Luode clasped his hands and directly unleashed a wide-area spell.
Using his own chakra, life energy, and divine power as power, and burning the microcosm, he could instantly cover the entire planet with green plants, turning it into a life-bearing planet.
Now Luode can easily achieve this; his microcosm can amplify these powers tenfold or more, releasing them with maximum efficiency.
In just a few minutes, the planet was covered with towering trees; indeed a life-bearing planet is needed, but it's not the kind of life from the planet's soul being born; rather, just a bit of green plant life suffices.
"This, this is truly a miraculous ability; the use of this life energy is indeed incredibly miraculous." Sargeras said admiringly.
The Titans can also do this, but it would consume a large amount of divine power, not as easy as Luode, and it's also unnecessary.
Luode smiled, then took out a newly cultivated divine tree sapling, and from his personal space retrieved the body of the Underworld King Hades from the War God World.
This body of the Underworld King Hades is no longer used, but it had awakened the microcosm, and residual mystery remains within.
Luode also used his primordial divine power to keep this Hades divine body vibrant, letting the corpse remain in a state of peak divine power.
Then he directly fed it to the Ten-Tails; seeing the food thrown over, the Ten-Tails immediately showed excitement, opened its huge maw, and swallowed Hades' corpse whole.
After eating the corpse, the Ten-Tails' body began to change, gradually shifting from a half-plant, half-flesh lifeform to pure plant life.
The body quickly took root on the planet, its back sprouted lush divine tree branches, and then began drawing energy from the entire planet.
"Sargeras, now begin converting stellar energy for them; this planet I merely remade into a suitable place to plant the divine tree, but its own nutrients are insufficient for the divine tree's growth." Luode said.
"I understand, Luode, leave it to me!" Sargeras nodded, his massive body stood in the universe, using his strong order divine power to mobilize the heart energy of one of the twin star systems.
Immense stellar energy was drawn by Sargeras, then converted into the purest order energy, and poured into the planet below.
After receiving sufficient energy to feed it, the divine tree sapling began to grow peacefully, continuously devouring power.
"What a miraculous lifeform, able to shift back and forth between plant and animal, or exist between them, and possess such efficient energy conversion ability." Sargeras said.
This special lifeform originates from another universe, indeed quite profound; no wonder it can let an ordinary mortal instantly grow into a demigod-level being, even break through to reach true god level, surpassing the universe's dimensions. (The divine tree's prestige has obviously increased greatly; continuously eating chakra fruits, it's already confirmed it can break single-universe level.) "If you like it, after this operation ends I'll give you a Ten-Tails, anyway we planted two divine trees this time, which will produce two adult Ten-Tails.
Their combat strength is still strong, and my newly cultivated overall combat strength is estimated to be only slightly inferior to your Titans' true bodies." Luode said.
The Ten-Tails cultivated with primordial divine power, this is still Luode's first time planting! Previous versions could already grow to one-quarter the size of a planet.
The current version should be able to grow to the size of a planet; at that time, aside from lacking intelligence, its destructive power will be completely on par with a Titan.
Sargeras has helped me many times, also giving me felonious intellect and the source of order intellect; I will return the favor, anyway Ten-Tails are something I truly won't lack in the future.
"Thank you very much, Luode; from now on we are beings of the same rating; if you need any help, just say the word, I will still help you wholeheartedly as before." Sargeras nodded and said.
When we first met, aside from Luode's own special ability, in Sargeras' view the other party was merely a lifeform on the same level as Archimonde and Kil'jaeden.
But in just a few short years, even for a Titan that's just a blink, this kid has grown to a level comparable to mine.
How great this kid's future potential is, Sargeras dares not even imagine.
"Hahaha! No problem, I won't be polite." Luode said with a laugh.
Next, Luode replicated the method to transform another planet into a life-bearing planet.
This time the corpse Luode took out is rather special, a Titan corpse roughly a kilometer tall.
But the latest version I cultivated is actually a sapling, only about a hundred meters tall; this kilometer-tall Titan corpse is still a colossal giant before it.
However, Luode is not without a method; using the microcosm's power combined with his divine power, he began compressing the Titan's corpse, removing all useless rocky parts.
Mother Earth Gaia, while nurturing her children, also nurtures their bodies; Titan giants' bodies are composed of various elements of the earth: fire and rock, wood and rock, also wind and soil.
Retaining only the core primordial divine power component, he compressed it into an energy body about ten meters tall, then fed it to his Ten-Tails.
After eating the Titan giant's corpse, the Ten-Tails clearly underwent a different change, its entire body began to swell.
Seeing this, Luode immediately stepped forward to supply it with life energy, and used his own primordial divine power to help the Ten-Tails digest.
It seems devouring a Titan's body is still somewhat strained, but with the aid of my own divine microcosm it should be no problem.
Indeed as Luode expected, after about half a day, the juvenile Ten-Tails' body returned to normal, successfully digesting the Titan giant's corpse.
Then it began taking root and grew into a divine tree; Sargeras on his side also began mobilizing the power of another blue dwarf star to provide this planet with strong order power.
Now Sargeras is really busy, standing between the two planets, mobilizing the power of two blue dwarf stars and transmitting it to the planets below.
"I estimate that at these two fellows' speed, to completely devour the power of two stars would take about ten thousand years." Sargeras sensed the speed at which the two Ten-Tails consume energy, then frowned and said.
Luode did say that planting the divine tree this time wouldn't take too long, maybe just a few days, but given this situation, they probably have to stay here for ten thousand years.
"Hahaha! Did you forget that time-acceleration ability?
We can modify time, speeding up the flow of time for these two planets or even the whole star system; I previously planted divine trees this way." Luode said.
"The power of the Infinity Stones should already be exhausted; we should have made a trip earlier, or you go now and I'll stay here to keep supplying them with energy." Sargeras said.
I myself cannot leave this area now; without my Titan divine power's guidance, the two stars' energy would become violent, making these two juvenile divine trees unable to consume it at all.
Not needed! Absolutely not needed; when I was in my previous world, I helped an immensely powerful being.
So he gave me a time-acceleration artifact, and I can use this time-acceleration artifact to accelerate time." Luode said.
I see, then let's get to work! I will increase the energy supply." Sagelasi heard, nodded, and said.
The Titan clan can drain the power of your entire star in an instant just by thinking, so they don't need to stay inside the time-acceleration barrier; they only need to mobilize the star's energy.
Luode nodded, took out the watch-shaped time artifact given to him by Supreme God Saturn, then a grayish-white light emanated from the artifact, instantly enveloping the entire planet.
Luode also began burning his own divine power to provide energy for this time artifact, starting to accelerate time.
Unlike the time acceleration color produced by the Time Gem, when this time artifact given by the Supreme God accelerates, the entire planet takes on a grayish-white hue, like an old photograph.
After the time acceleration, Sagelasi instantly felt that the energy demand of the two planets surged a hundredfold.
Thus Sagelasi no longer had any reservations and began mobilizing the immense energy of the two stars at full strength to send to the Ten-Tails.
Sagelasi and Luode stood above the planet, watching the scene inside constantly change; the divine tree was growing at a visible speed, and the power of the two blue sea stars was continuously being drawn out.
The time I'm accelerating now is roughly equivalent to one thousand years per day, and as the divine tree grows, its energy demand will only increase.
According to my estimate, in as little as five thousand years the power of the two stars should be drained; just in case, I will prepare a backup star and transport it here with spatial ability when the time comes." Luode maintained the time barrier with his divine power and said.
With his current divine power, even if a small universe undergoes a major transformation, he can still maintain this time-acceleration barrier.
At most it's only ten days; after eleven days, all of his divine power, chakra, demonic energy, or orderly energy will be exhausted. These two divine trees need ten thousand years to mature, so the timing is about right, and the time acceleration is sufficient.
So that means we only need at most ten days, right? No problem, I can hold out on my end." Sagelasi, while mobilizing terrifying energy, said.
Such a massive mobilization of stellar energy, even though he is the foremost dark Titan, finds it somewhat hard to bear, but he can still persist for a dozen or so days.
It seems that planting the divine tree must be a joint effort between him and Luode; otherwise, one person alone couldn't handle it!
"No problem! I can last ten days." Luode laughed and said.
"Really? Then I'm a bit stronger than you, so I can probably last about half a month." Sagelasi squeezed out a smile and said.
"Hahaha! I didn't expect it, Sagelasi, you're quite humorous."
The two most powerful beings from the two universes chatted off and on in this unfamiliar star system.
Luode told Sagelasi about his travels across various worlds, the strange and bizarre things he'd seen, and even immensely powerful individuals whose strength defied heaven.
And Sagelas began to recount his Titan life, awakened by his older brother Amansuer, joined the Pantheon he led, becoming the Pantheon's strongest warrior.
Unifying the order of the entire universe, eliminating demons, opposing the Void forces, until he was completely driven mad and embraced the power of fel energy.
As they talked, their relationship grew better and better.
Time flowed slowly, and in the blink of an eye it was the fifth day; by then the two stars had been completely drained of their power, but the two divine trees had not yet grown to their most perfect state.
"How terrifying! Fortunately we were prepared." Luode activated his spatial ability, opening a portal; the other side of the portal was also a huge star, a blue giant star.
Sagelas also began to use his order divine power, dragging the enormous blue giant star here, then extracting its power to start supplying energy to the two divine trees.
"Indeed, it's a bit beyond my expectations; I never thought this divine technique could absorb so much, but the more they eat, the stronger the fruits they convert become, and it's all worth it." Luode said.
"Hmm! You okay? Can Luode still hold up?" Sagelas glanced at Luode and asked.
"No problem, I can hold on for five more days; I want to see just how much these two guys can eat." Luode said.
With this time acceleration, the damned area below has been sped up by me for a full five thousand years, yet these two bastards can still eat, each consuming a blue dwarf star.
A blue dwarf star's mass is at least three times that of the sun, meaning these guys have already eaten several suns.
Sagelas nodded upon hearing this, then further began to mobilize the blue giant star's stellar energy.
Time began to flow slowly, and in the blink of an eye another five days passed; by now the blue giant star that Luode had teleported over had been completely eaten clean.
And the two divine trees below finally had their fill; the two planets have now returned to a dead-star state, their entire energy drained, leaving only giant divine trees about tens of thousands of meters tall.
The once lush vegetation has also disappeared, and the two divine trees have officially blossomed and borne fruit.
At this moment Luode also stopped the time acceleration, then wiped the sweat from his forehead; if he continued, he would likely burn his own life force.
Damn! I'm now a bona fide god, and I had even stored some primordial divine power earlier, but in this situation it's all been drained.
On the other side, Sagelas also fared poorly; for a full ten days he continuously mobilized stellar energy, and even this Titan of his was starting to feel overwhelmed.
"What a terrifyingly immense devouring capacity; the energy they've consumed already equals that of dozens of yellow suns." Sagelas also said with admiration.
"Hahaha! This is also the first time I've cultivated for so long; I originally thought five thousand years would be enough, but I never expected it to be a full ten thousand years, pushing my acceleration to its limit." Luode said.
"I can feel that there's more than just one fruit; let's go down and take a look—it's also time to harvest the spoils." Sagelas said.
Luode nodded, and he and Sagelas first came before the divine tree that had devoured the corpse of the underworld king.
This divine tree had devoured the body of the underworld king Hades, a blue dwarf star, half the energy of a blue giant star, plus the life force of a planet; over a full ten thousand years it bore three huge flower buds.
"Our luck is good; this time we cultivated three fruits, and the size of these three fruits is indeed beyond my imagination." Luode said, looking at the three huge fruits before him.
"Isn't that right? Previously the fruits were only basketball-sized, but now the ones grown are even larger than his body."
"Of course, for Sagelas with a Titan body, that's nothing; after all, a slightly smaller bacterium and a slightly larger one are about the same."
"However, despite their size, the power contained within far surpasses even the supreme chakra fruit; this is a true divine fruit."
"As for how to eat such a fruit, Luode had it figured out: directly compress it using the power of the microcosm, then devour it."
"I sense two fruits imbued with death energy, and another fruit possessing a very strange divine power, close in level to my Titan divine power, even more pure and primordial." Sagelas said.
"This is an extremely pure death divine power, even purer than the eternal beings he has seen."
"As for that unknown divine power, compared to his Titan divine power it's not much weaker; moreover, having devoured so much energy and grown for ten thousand years, reaching this point seems reasonable."
"That's right; I'll take the two death-attribute fruits, and as for the fruit with divine power, the energy inside is called primordial divine power—it might help you, so I'll give it to you." Luode said, looking at Sagelas.
"This time, if it weren't for Sabras providing sufficient energy, wanting to grow this divine tree alone would also be very difficult for him."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Sagelas also wasn't polite with Luode, stepping forward and plucking the fruit that contained the special divine power.
Luode then stepped forward and picked the two fruits that had just been conceived, possessing pure death power.
The energy contained in these two death fruits is not inferior to that of the primordial divine power fruit at all.
After all, the main energy of the underworld king Hades' true form is death energy; primordial divine power is merely a byproduct that happened to be refined.
These two death-attribute fruits happen to be one for me and one for Aizelas; after eating them, Luode could even directly create beings of eternal level.
After collecting the divine tree fruit from a planet, the huge divine tree's root base also quickly dissipated.
Left behind was the main body of the Ten Tails, a terrifying creature tens of thousands of meters tall, its body containing immense primordial god power and death power.
"This is the creature produced after the divine tree bears fruit; its name is the Ten Tails, it possesses tremendous destructive power, and I give this one to you."
The way to acknowledge a master is also simple: the first one to eat the divine tree fruit becomes its master, and you can form a very special bond with him.
"You never need to worry about his betrayal, for he is your servant, the most loyal kind, even equivalent to one of your avatars." Luode explained to Sargeras the various benefits of the Ten Tails.
"Then I won't be polite; it truly is a terrifying creature, you're right, its combat power is even somewhat greater than Argus's."
"Moreover, the death energy it contains might allow Argus to recover better." Sargeras sighed at the power the Ten Tails possessed, then ate the fruit containing primordial god power.
After eating the fruit, a tremendously terrifying power began to form within Sargeras's body; this power strengthened his soul and even his body.
This allowed the dark Titan's life level to increase at least more than double, and his divine power also increased more than double; besides order power, fel power, life energy, and chakra, Sargeras also mastered a kind of primordial god power.
This is a power not belonging to the Warcraft universe, lying outside the six primal forces; Sablas clenched his fist.
He sensed the violent energy in his current body, and also sensed the Ten Tails closely linked to him.
This time I came to accompany Luode in planting the divine tree, and my gains are plentiful! First, my strength has increased at least twofold.
Now, if those Void Lords dare appear before me, no matter how many come, Sargeras is confident he can wipe them all out.
And this powerful Ten Tails, according to Sargeras's estimate, can match a true Titan.
So it can also match those Void Lords; its overall combat strength far exceeds that of Archimonde and Kil'jaeden, making it truly a Titan‑level expert, and it obeys only my commands.
However, unlike a Titan, it does not possess the power representing order within its body.
It also cannot exert a Titan's might, such as reshaping planets or mobilizing cosmic energy; it merely possesses a Titan's destructive power.
Moreover, this monster's body also contains death energy and primordial god power, which can help Argus recover.
"How do you feel?" Luode asked Sargeras.
Now the power and aura emanating from Sargeras are even more formidable; his body, having been transformed by primordial god power, is also stronger than before.
"I feel great now, hahaha, Luode—I've never felt this good before; now I'm full of hope for the future."
Even if I alone, I can crush the entire Void forces; they dare not dream of turning the whole universe into void; their plan will absolutely never come to pass.
"Because I exist, and you exist, and the soon‑to‑be‑born Azeroth, and the soon‑to‑recover Argus." Sargeras clenched his fist, spoke with a confident face; now this dark madam has unprecedented confidence.
"Hahaha! That's a must—Void forces, don't even think of looking down on this universe; let's go! We'll go check out another divine tree." Luode said. (End of chapter)
