"I want... to give it a try!"

As the voice of the ancient tree fell, Li Chen could feel the essence of heaven and earth around him starting to contract incessantly.

It was as if someone was breathing deeply, and within a single breath, the essence of heaven and earth around began to converge into the ancient tree.

Originally, the ancient tree was quite unremarkable, but overall, it didn’t seem too special. People could see the extraordinariness of the ancient tree only because of the surrounding essence of heaven and earth. Otherwise, if placed among a forest, few would notice anything unique about it.

However, as the vital energy and essence of heaven and earth surged into the ancient tree, everyone saw dazzling light beginning to sparkle on its body.

Though the light was dazzling, it wasn’t glaring. On the contrary, it was quite gentle.

Under this light, the ancient tree seemed to undergo layers of metamorphosis. In this moment, it no longer looked like a mere tree, but a mighty existence that has endured through eternity!

As the aura of the ancient tree grew more turbulent, the surrounding cultivators also witnessed this scene, feeling slightly breathless.

They could guess that this ancient tree was undoubtedly a Supreme Treasure, otherwise, it couldn’t possess such terrifying domain of vital energy. But as the vital energy and essence of heaven and earth poured into the ancient tree, they realized its strength far exceeded their expectations.

What kind of existence is this?

Someone was secretly speculating.

But unquestionably, the ancient tree was undeniably powerful, not only in terms of its function but also in the aura that could nearly crush space after it absorbed the surrounding essence of heaven and earth!

It in itself is a tremendously powerful existence!

Bear in mind, it began crushing Soul Realm experts with its aura alone!

Now, having absorbed the surrounding essence of heaven and earth, all this terrifying aura is contained within it. How powerful is its might at this moment?

No one can guess.

But it is certain that the strength of this ancient tree probably surpassed their expectations.

Li Chen’s face showed a smile as he gently placed his hand on the ancient tree. His gaze was very calm, not at all perturbed by the tree’s terrifying aura.

In fact, to him, the stronger the ancient tree, the better.

Because he truly needed such an existence.

"It is... the Eternal World Tree!"

At this moment, the Primordial Heavy Water finally gave Li Chen its answer.

When the ancient tree restrained its aura, the Primordial Heavy Water finally, amidst these terrifying auras, guessed the identity of the ancient tree!

The Eternal World Tree!

Known as an eternal, indestructible existence, the oldest being in the starry universe, one of the Seven Divine Trees!

The starry universe had been born countless years ago, which can no longer be verified. However, at the birth of the starry universe, in the midst of chaos, the Nine Great Treasures were already nurtured. As instruments, Supreme Treasures inherently did not possess life, thus could exist eternally, with spiritual intelligence gradually emerging over the long passage of time.

But the Seven Divine Trees were different.

From their very inception, they possessed the characteristics of ’life.’

Although the birth time of the Seven Divine Trees is uncertain and varies, there’s no doubt they are incredibly ancient, at least originating from the oldest initial era.

It can even be said that they are the oldest living entities in this starry universe!

And appearing before Li Chen now is the indestructible Eternal World Tree!

"You’re asking me to follow you, but do you have a place where I can stay? I can’t shape-transform, you can’t expect me to walk with roots to follow you, can you?" The voice of the Eternal World Tree slowly resonated.

"Rest assured, I have a place where you can take root." Li Chen said, a smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

With a wave of his hand, a veil of the Great Dao of Space-Time obscured the heavens and earth, making the surrounding cultivators’ vision blurry.

In their eyes, Li Chen and the Eternal World Tree suddenly vanished.

Even though they felt the surrounding pressure disappear, no one dared to rashly advance this time.

As right from the tribulation earlier, they could perceive Li Chen is definitely not an existence to be trifled with. Offending such a terrifying presence in such a place, even death could come unknown!

For a moment, the hearts of many cultivators itched.

They wanted to know what had happened but were unwilling to offend an existence like Li Chen for no reason.

Meanwhile, Li Chen was unconcerned about these people.

Because at the moment he shrouded heavens and earth with his Great Dao of Space-Time, he directly reached out and opened up his Minor World Space.

"This... This is..."

Even the Eternal World Tree, which had no response when Li Chen underwent two tribulations, collapsing the heavenly tribulation clouds, was dumbfounded upon seeing Li Chen opening space.

"A brand-new world?!"

The Eternal World Tree exclaimed in shock.

Unlike conventional minor worlds.

In the conventional sense, minor worlds generally have their dependencies, either on the Main World or Great Realms, surviving like parasites, relying on the laws and nourishment of the Great Realms to survive, living in a humble existence.

However, Li Chen’s minor world had no dependencies, existing entirely independently.

Furthermore, the Eternal World Tree could sense the faint aura of chaos in this not-too-large world.

Just like the inception of chaos, and the birth of all things!

This is not a minor world, but a complete, genuine world’s embryonic form!

"This... How could..." Even the Eternal World Tree was shocked, at a momentary loss for words.

"This place, for you to take root, what do you think?" Li Chen pointed to his minor world, speaking with a light smile.

"Good... Good!" The Eternal World Tree eagerly agreed. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Joking aside, taking root in such embryonic form of a world allows absorption of the aura of the Great Dao of chaos inception. Perhaps one day, it might complete its ultimate metamorphosis.

Li Chen chuckled: "For one of the Seven Divine Trees, you’re somewhat overly excited, aren’t you?"

"Not excited at all!" The Eternal World Tree responded solemnly: "I’ve lived countless years, seen many ancient existences. But, for a world’s embryonic form like yours, I’ve seen only twice before; you’re the third existence to possess a world’s embryonic form."

"Oh? There are two others?" Li Chen lifted an eyebrow: "Could you tell me what sort of existences they are?"

"If it were other existences possessing world’s embryonic forms, I wouldn’t dare mention their names. But coincidentally, the two altogether are existences I know." The Eternal World Tree said solemnly.

"One is Jianmu Wood, the other is... World Tree!"
