Volume 3: The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors Chapter 429: World Tree
Chaos outside.
The Great Emperor Changsheng stretched out his hand and a gourd fell into his palm.
This is the seventh gourd formed by the Xiantian gourd vine, which contains good fortune and blessings. Now that Xuanhuang is falling, the emperor has injected his own merits into it. In an instant, the clear light of blessing illuminates the heavens, the ten poles of heaven and earth, the myriad worlds of time and space, and billions of living beings are bathed in the light of blessing and share the great fortune.
The Great Emperor Changsheng stood at the top of the sky, smiled at the Ten Extremes Gods and all the spirits in the prehistoric world, and said: "Thanks to the help of the gods, my way has been accomplished. Now all the heavens and myriad worlds have been united in the prehistoric world to complete the heaven and earth. Although my merits are countless, I still need two things to achieve great perfection."
The gods were puzzled and asked, "What is the matter that the Great Emperor is talking about?"
The Great Emperor Changsheng replied: "When the Ten Thousand Worlds were first established, spiritual energy was naturally abundant, and all living things multiplied from generation to generation. The heaven and earth would eventually be depleted, so for the sake of eternity, we should open up the source of spiritual energy for the heavens."
Upon hearing this, the gods nodded.
When the world was first created, there was plenty of innate spiritual energy. But whether it was the Great Thousand World or the Small Thousand World, the number of living beings and immortals and saints that could be accommodated was limited. If the innate spiritual energy was exhausted, it would be reduced to acquired spiritual energy. When the acquired spiritual energy was exhausted, the world would usher in the Dharma Ending Age.
"Why did the emperor mention the second thing?"
The gods asked again.
"The myriad worlds and heavens were created by you fellow Taoists. Although I rule them, I will not interfere with the operation of the world. You fellow Taoists can rest assured to be in charge of one world!" The Great Emperor Changsheng first gave the Ten Extreme Gods a reassurance, and then said:
"The myriad worlds and the primordial wasteland are interdependent. In the future, the myriad worlds will also need to communicate with each other. However, the barrier between heaven and earth is difficult to cross without great magical powers. Therefore, it is necessary to build a channel for communication between the heavens to facilitate the travel of the immortals and gods in the myriad worlds."
When the gods first heard the promise of holding the power over the world, they were delighted. If they could be the main god of a world, control the world's authority, and create all living beings in the world without being interfered with, then they could truly be considered free!
"Thank you, Emperor!"
One by one, the saints bowed down.
The Great Emperor Changsheng asked with a smile, "What about the communication between the realms?"
"It's all up to the Emperor!"
These two things are good things that are beneficial to all realms and the prehistoric world, and no one is blind enough to reject them.
The Great Emperor Changsheng nodded: "That's great!"
He looked at the wilderness, pointed to the southeast region, and called out, "Come!"
The heaven and earth shook, and the life energy in Fengqi Mountain was abundant. A sacred tree grew taller and taller, reaching from the sky to the earth, suppressing the void.
There was a sound from heaven, and strange images filled the void. A goddess appeared, with an elegant posture, a charming smile, a pair of bright eyes, and infinite vitality. The glory of motherhood illuminated the world.
The goddess walked in the void, looked into the sky, and offered blessings to the gods.
The Southern Supreme, Lord Lingguang, had ripples in his calm eyes when he saw her.
All the Phoenix Clan members looked at it with excitement.
There was a flash of surprise in the eyes of the White Tiger Lord.
Qinglong smiled, looked at Mingyu obscurely, and murmured: "No wonder, no wonder!"
The powerful ancestors who had experienced the three tribes’ era were also incredulous when they saw her.
Many of them saw him die in the catastrophe with their own eyes!
At this time, everyone turned their eyes to Mingyu.
"No wonder this Taoist master's true form is Qingluan."
The gods were watching, but Mingyu remained calm.
Let them guess.
Buzz——
The Heavenly Dao Wheel behind Mingyu shook slightly, and the Xuanhuang Merit from the Twenty-Four Merit Heavens suddenly descended to the mortal world and merged into the Tree of Life. In an instant, the Merit shone from the tree, with thousands of branches and leaves casting shadows, and a clear divine light of Merit sprinkled down, suppressing all evil, cleansing the evil spirits, and purifying the world.
With help, the goddess ascended to heaven step by step.
Every time she ascended to the heaven, the sacred tree grew taller.
When she reached the 30th heaven, she stopped.
The gods held their breath and waited quietly.
After a while, the goddess took two steps and arrived at the thirty-second heaven.
The gods looked at the goddess and saw that she had no intention of moving forward, and they all sighed and lamented.
When the Great Emperor Changsheng saw this, his expression was indifferent.
“Daoyou!”
He turned around and bowed to Zhen Yuanzi.
Zhen Yuanzi was well prepared. The Book of Earth in his hand moved without wind and connected to the laws of the earth. The endless power of the earth was combined with the sacred tree, causing it to continue to grow.
At the same time, the power of heaven declined, and all three thousand laws were under the command of Zhen Yuanzi. The will of heaven suddenly tilted towards the goddess.
This scene made the gods dizzy.
Everyone knew that Zhen Yuanzi controlled the power of heaven and earth, but no one had ever seen his power with their own eyes. Now, in front of everyone, the scene where the power of heaven and earth moved at will with his thoughts really scared them.
Zhen Yuanzi, who controls the authority of heaven and earth, is no different from a saint except for his lack of cultivation!
As this era comes to an end and the luck of heaven and earth flows back, no one can predict how advanced Zhen Yuanzi will be by then.
It is still unknown whether we can reach the other side by taking this step!
Beside Mingyu, Haotian saw Zhen Yuanzi's power and showed envy. He stroked the jade pot in his sleeve, his mind was full of thoughts, and no one knew what he was thinking.
The gods looked down.
With the power of heaven and earth upon her, the Tree of Life grew taller and taller. The goddess leaned forward and took another step. Her movements were extremely slow, and it was obvious how difficult it was.
In the void, the top branches of the sacred tree have already touched the thirty-third heaven, only the last half step is left!
Wahuangtian.
Goddess Nuwa was giving a sermon to a few children. The heaven and earth were shaking. She looked at the goddess in the void.
Xiao Long Nu also looked over.
"ah!"
Long Nuxi exclaimed, and she excitedly grabbed Chen'er's hand, "Sister, look, is that Aunt Mu?"
The appearance has changed, but the temperament has not changed, and the little guy's eyes are shining.
Her hand was tightly held, and Chen'er frowned slightly. She struggled twice but failed to break free. She could only let her sister hold her and nodded, saying, "Of course it is. Aunt Mu lives in the sacred tree!"
Seeing that the goddess was only half a step away from ascending to heaven, Nuwa smiled and said, "Well, I'll give you a helping hand!"
The divine light of creation bloomed from between her slender jade fingers, the universe was in order, heaven and earth worked together, and the goddess felt her body had become much lighter. She took the last step and reached the thirty-third heaven.
The leaves of the Tree of Life are shining, reaching thirty-three heavens above and eighteen earths below. Each of its branches is connected to this world. Its thousands of leaves and branches represent thousands of worlds.
From then on, the God of Life was established in the void to bless the heaven and earth. It connected all the heavens and worlds, and the immortals and gods could cross the worlds and travel freely.
The merits between heaven and earth reappeared, six parts were given to the sacred tree and the goddess, one part went to Zhen Yuanzi, one part was taken by Nuwa, and two parts went to the Changsheng Emperor.
The Tree of Life was blessed by heaven and earth, and bathed in the merits of Xuanhuang, and it leaped forward to become the World Tree!
The goddess arrived at the thirty-third heaven, collected all the merits, and then instantly came to chaos.
Mingyu was the first to bow to him: "Congratulations to you for seeing through your true self, seeing your soul, and returning to this world. You can look forward to a bright future and the other side is in sight!"
Hearing this, the goddess smiled lightly and looked radiant.
She bowed.
"Thank you, Master!"
Seeing this, the gods also congratulated him.
The goddess returned the greetings one by one.
Most of the immortals and gods were confused and did not understand the cause and effect, but since everyone was congratulating them, they chose to follow the crowd.
"Congratulations, fellow Taoist!"
The four supreme beings and ancestors from all sides paid their respects.
"Aunt Luo?"
The little phoenix was extremely surprised when he saw the goddess.
She never expected that the deity born from her senior brother's companion spiritual root would actually be her own aunt?
No wonder she always felt that Mu was very kind.
The Spirit of Life, or Qingluan's ancestor, Qingluo, also looked at the little phoenix at this time. She smiled and said, "Don't blame me, little girl. My true spirit has also returned not long ago."
The little phoenix blinked. She didn't believe it.
Then, Little Phoenix cast a complaining look at Mingyu: "Brother, you already knew it, didn't you?"
Mingyu nodded, "Your mother told me this when we went to Tiannan last time."
Hearing this, Little Phoenix's eyes became even more resentful. She muttered, "Why did mother tell you everything but not me? Who is the biological child?"
In response, Mingyu just smiled and said nothing.
