Chapter 2506: The Secret of the Myriad Worlds Tree

The Soul Origin Realm was the final breakthrough.

Myriad Spirits Return to One, all the universes and divine spirits that Xiao Feng had devoured, and all true spirit souls gathered together, forming an immensely huge new soul.

"I am Wu Han, Origin Realm True God, having devoured four hundred universes and three thousand false gods, formerly..."

"I am Ming Qiejie, Origin Realm True God, True Lord of Souls, all beings are my followers..."

"I am the Ten Absolutes Dao Venerable..."

"I am the Ancient Era Holy King..."

"I am..."

One by one, powerful soul beliefs merged into consciousness, becoming one.

Not only the strong, but also the weak, ordinary living beings, even plants and trees inferior to ordinary life and lacking wisdom, all possess true spirits, which merged into Xiao Feng's soul.

Finally...

"I am Xiao Feng, Lord of All Heavens."

A wisp of the clearest thought arose in the depths of the soul.

He finally woke up, realizing who he was.

All memories returned—family, friends, children—one after another, like a slideshow, flowed through the mind.

The scene of being disciplined by his father for childhood mistakes, with his mother intervening.

The scene of first entering university, doing military training together with classmates like Zhang Fan and Li Li.

The scene of the Novice Village of All Heavens, buying equipment with Xing Yun Miao.

And many, many more...

Including the scene of him destroying with a single strike the false Origin Realm Spirit that Xun Shuang had disguised as, which resembled a vicious beast.

And the memories of other living beings also swiftly flashed through the mind.

Xiao Feng felt a sense of sorrow.

But he had no body, nor tears.

Unknown how much time had passed.

Time had essentially lost its meaning.

Xiao Feng composed himself, suppressing his sorrow.

The Five Supreme Laws had all arrived in the Origin Realm, and he finally reached what Chen Li had said.

Supreme Origin Realm.

Buzz~

A wisp of energy fluctuation appeared.

Xiao Feng materialized in place, restoring a human form.

He also did not know how tall or large he was, but felt extremely tiny—less than one hundred-thousandth of a cosmic embryo.

Yet the energy contained within his body was astonishingly vast, tens of thousands of times greater than a mature universe.

Xiao Feng approached the depths of the rotting corpse's eye socket, along a blood vessel wider than the diameter of a universe, straight toward the depths of the skull.

Within that channel, primordial energy flowed, abundant enough to nurture many universes.

Moreover, cosmic embryos were indeed being born, condensing while flowing outward.

At some point, Xiao Feng entered the interior of the giant skull.

The decayed brain was not ferocious or frightening, but rather a chaotic, complex dimension.

Here there were many decaying universes, as well as incredibly abundant source energy.

Xiao Feng moved slowly; his vision flickered, dimensions became disordered, and he saw a scene.

That was a cold weapon resembling a spear, held in a youth's hand, waved with vigorous vigor.

Before he could examine it closely, his vision flickered again, dimensions intertwined, and a semi-transparent evil spirit roared as it lunged at him.

Xiao Feng raised his hand to block.

Bang~

The evil spirit exploded, and a fragment of memory surged into his mind.

"Damn it, damn it! He clearly struck first, yet the master only punishes me and not him! I refuse! I refuse!"

This was the resentment of the giant body's owner.

Swish~

Swish~

One after another, illusions flashed by, and Xiao Feng witnessed many memories of the corpse's former life.

He was a young master of a fallen family, stranded in a foreign land, taken in as a disciple by an expert, and

afterward, many, many things happened.

But... none of that matters.

Xiao Feng merely wondered why these memories seemed so mundane.

For such a powerful life, he actually once practiced martial arts and cultivation just like an ordinary person?

"What exactly is the secret of the Myriad Worlds Tree?" Xiao Feng could not understand.

He continued forward, viewing one memory fragment after another, also witnessing the corpse owner's joys, anger, love, hatred, and myriad complex emotions.

Finally, he arrived before a colossal entity.

There was a pure expanse, free of impurities, containing only the most refined primordial energy.

Xiao Feng drifted closer; at the moment of contact, a new piece of information surged into his sea of consciousness.

"I will not die! Though I fall now, I will surely rise again! My body will transform into countless universes, giving birth to endless life; sooner or later, someone will come here and inherit my body!"

Come on, from now on you are me!

Seize this body, let it be reborn!

My world is your world, my past is your past. I am you, you are me!

I am... Xiao Feng!

The lingering thought seemed able to discern which dominant soul had arrived here.

Or rather, all living beings that have emerged over endless ages and countless universes were already calculated by Him before His death.

He did not wish to fall, but wanted to rise again, so he evolved himself into the Ten Thousand Worlds Tree, using the energy of his remains to nurture universe after universe, and summoned beings transcending individual universes to come here, in order to as much as possible inherit and awaken his body.

The previous soul of this body had died, turning into countless souls, scattered in

among the universes that have appeared in these endless ages.

Now Xiao Feng condenses countless souls into a supreme origin body, as if gathering those scattered soul fragments, and thus forms Him again.

He is not Xiao Feng.

But... Xiao Feng can be Him!

"Everything I have sought..."

"The source of Brother Chen's doubt..."

"My life, others' lives, the universe's life..."

"It turns out, all of this happened on a corpse."

"And now I actually have to seize it and come back to life?"

Xiao Feng laughed and cried.

What does it matter if he comes back to life?

Is he still Xiao Feng?

Although the soul's leading consciousness hasn't changed, he is ultimately no longer that youth, no longer the Xiao Feng who was happily married to his wives.

That period was brief, only a few million years.

He cannot forget, nor does he want to.

Standing at the core of the corpse's skull, his Divine Sense penetrated the massive body and saw the huge universe far away.

A strand of Divine Sense descended.

He made contact with Chen Li.

"Brother Chen, how long have I been gone?" Xiao Feng asked.

Chen Li was somewhat surprised, feeling astonished at the arrival of his thought, and replied: "You... are Xiao Feng?"

"It's me. How long has it been within the realm?" Xiao Feng asked him.

Chen Li fell silent for a moment, then replied: "Seven hundred twenty-eight billion years. All growth eras within the realm have vanished, all living beings have reincarnated. I have reshaped the universe; now everything is different from the past."

Then Xiao Feng fell silent.

It turns out that so much time has passed...

"However... I still retain those imprints. Do you wish to return? I can let everyone come back and continue living together. Except... Xun Shuang." Chen Li

He added.

Xiao Feng thought for a moment, then replied: "No need, I think I have a better choice."

Upon hearing that, Chen Li asked: "What kind of choice? Xiao Feng, where are you now? I cannot sense your location or your realm. Have you... found the answer?"

Xiao Feng sighed: "Perhaps I am no longer myself. On this journey, the living beings and realms I have devoured far surpass our universe by ten thousand times. I have seen the answer: the Ten Thousand Worlds Tree is a corpse, and He wants me to become Him, to begin a second life. I do not know what I will see when I open my eyes after becoming Him, but I think... it should not be too bad."

Chen Li remained silent for a long time.

Although he has endured ages, his humanity has grown thin, yet surprise and doubt still linger.

He said: "Then take this step. You are the ultimate, the final answer of all existence. To witness this, I am content."

"Mm, I hope we can meet again." Xiao Feng replied.

After enduring great hardship to come here, he has sacrificed everything, forgotten everything.

Therefore, he cannot retreat.

Even if he returns, he cannot find his former life, for that universe has already been reshaped once.

Thus, he can only move forward!
