Chapter 155

To increase his own chance of survival, it is necessary to obtain a clone.

Xiao Yu searched the treasure vault and actually found a lot of good stuff, such as corpses of the Demon‑Killing Clan, the Crystal Tribe and other races, which weren't very expensive, and even the corpse of a Golden‑Horn Giant was available for exchange.

Not to mention those items that can only be bought at a high price in the primary or intermediate Auction Event in the outside world.

But there were no body parts like a World Tree, not even a single leaf.

Xiao Yu had Wu search carefully, and discovered that there was no clone he wanted.

In the Primordial Secret Realm.

Xiao Yu silently thought, "System obtains a genuine World Tree seed."

After a soundless wail, Xiao Yu's Soul Split immediately occupied the entire Illusory Shadow, the 108 crystal facets shattered, and everything merged into the Illusory Shadow.

The giant walked to the tallest of the massive trees; its trunk was massive, its canopy's diameter hundreds of times the trunk's height, the branches were countless, each bearing innumerable leaves larger than the giant, layered upon each other, shading hundreds of surrounding trees beneath the canopy's shadow.

"Huh? This World Tree seed is taking a different path," the giant said, surprised, then the long river beneath his feet flowed, "Hmm, no problem. This harvest is even larger than expected."

——

A golden spherical crystal appeared in Xiao Yu's hand, about the size of a steel ball.

Xiao Yu tested repeatedly, and it took a full month before the Law Carving Knife was condensed into shape.

The giant carried a purple hoe made of unknown material, walking through a forest that towered dozens of times higher than him, his every move seeming to fit some mysterious principle.

A giant whose height was an unfathomable billions of light‑years, barefoot like a Ye Ren, exuded an indescribable aura; luminous, river‑like mist constantly coiled around his ankles, and upon close inspection, tiny humanoid beings, dust‑sized, were inside, with even finer shadows like Illusory Shadows.

The golden spherical crystal instantly merged into his hand and vanished, yet Xiao Yu's Main Soul did not feel the crystal within his body.

The World Tree has an extremely high innate talent regarding the Space‑Time Origin Law; comprehending the Space‑Time Law is truly as easy as drinking water.

The second is world gestation: each leaf of the World Tree can give rise to a world, and the size of that world depends on the World Tree's power and the amount of energy invested.

"System turns the World Tree inside the Small World into a clone of mine; Soul uses Split Soul No. 1."

Streaks of Purple Light Stream flashed—

In the depths of endless Space‑Time, an ancient realm.

The World Tree has just been born; even if it has a soul, it must be very young.

Xiao Yu's Main Soul immediately reduced the World Tree clone's Soul Calculation Speed by 1500 times, applying the reduction to both Main Soul and Split Soul, so that both souls' Soul Calculation Speed became 1500 times.

The Wu Chen Continent's Estate No. 114, spanning a hundred thousand kilometers, is all his domain; Xiao Yu controls a hundred main roots of the World Tree, each probing ten kilometers underground within his territory. These roots are as thin as steel wire yet incredibly hard—Xiao Yu himself cannot damage them a hair. Each main root also bears countless finer rootlets extending in all directions.

Although the energy‑absorption efficiency of the underground rootlets is not as high as being directly exposed to the void, they excel in secrecy and safety.

The World Tree is the darling of Space‑Time, possessing the first innate ability 'Mastery of Space‑Time'; within a certain radius around it, time and space are fully controlled. Though far from the complete dominion of the Lord of the Universe over a sector of Space‑Time, its control strengthens as the World Tree itself grows.

In less than a day, the ground of the internal Small World became densely covered with the World Tree's rootlets.

Three days later, a golden tender sprout pierced the surface, bearing only two leaves, about one centimeter tall, yet each leaf was palm‑sized, continuously emitting Space‑Time ripples outward.

At the same time, a massive influx of Inheritance Information poured into his Soul Consciousness.

"Hmm, not bad, the quality of these ten World Tree seeds is perfect," the giant said, examining the seeds closely. "Now there should be some surplus, right?"

At this point, Xiao Yu is the World Tree, and the World Tree is Xiao Yu; there is no distinction between you and me.

The giant extended his hand, and the ten particles instantly appeared at the center of his palm, suspended by a purple energy.

Every tree in the forest was strange, each exuding an incomparably mysterious aura.

An invisible flow of energy caused the Split Soul No. 1 crystal in Xiao Yu's Sea of Knowledge to instantly become an Illusory Shadow, then it was enveloped by the invisible energy and entered the World Tree's spherical crystal.

Then the purple energy dragging the World Tree seed vanished.

【2,000,000 Wish Gold Coins have been deducted!】

The massive purple sun in the sky emitted purple liquid that was completely blocked by the canopy; all the purple liquid was absorbed by ten exceedingly tiny spherical particles at the canopy's tip.

Don't be fooled by the seed's body being only the size of a small steel ball; inside it is like a tiny world, about 10,000 km in diameter, containing threads of purple energy.

After the rootlets pierced the ground, they kept growing, extending rapidly, soon passing through a 100‑kilometer‑thick crust, and then the spherical crystal was pulled straight into the deep underground.

Xiao Yu retrieved 108 planetary cores and 108 stellar cores, then, following the method recorded in Heavenly God Transformation, condensed the power of the Space‑Time Origin Law into a small carving knife.

The third ability is that the World Tree's rootlets can pierce the endless void and take root anywhere.

The seed kept falling downward in the giant's palm. The giant's palm was like void, and the seed fell into each individual cell of his body.

"Huh, it actually appeared inside the internal Small World," the Main Soul received the image coming from the internal Small World.

【100,000 Wish Gold Coins have been deducted!】

At the center of the Small World there is a basketball‑sized World Tree Illusory Shadow, which is the World Tree's soul, and invisible energy surged into the World Tree Illusory Shadow.

Now the World Tree seed is comparable to the human planetary stage; perceiving the Space‑Time Law's fluctuations is like humans watching ripples on water.

The giant, as if he could see through the canopy to the minuscule spherical particles at its tip, said, "The World Tree finally bore seeds; it wasn't in vain that I tended it for dozens of 'years'."

Countless rootlets continue to grow rapidly.

【Wish has been fulfilled!】

Under normal circumstances, no one would scan the domain of Xiao Yu and his princely lands.

Next to the Universe Chaos Stele Illusion, a golden spherical crystal fell to the ground; countless golden slender rootlets sprouted from its surface, razor‑sharp, easily drilling into the hard rocky ground.

【Wish has been fulfilled!】

"Could it be that this golden spherical crystal is the World Tree seed!"

Center of the internal Small World.

Primordial Secret Realm, Space No. 9, Estate No. 114, within the massive cultivation arena.

This carving knife, only the size of a fingernail, is densely covered with incomparably profound Secret Patterns, continuously emitting Space‑Time Law fluctuations outward.

Then Xiao Yu used the power of the Space‑Time Law to envelop 216 star cores, and by thought guided the carving knife to inscribe a spatial Secret Pattern combination onto the first star core, causing that core to emit the first mysterious spatial essence.
