Chapter 2016: Chapter 1984: You Are Human, So Am I!

"Is it also one of the Seven Divine Trees?"

Hearing the words of the Eternal World Tree, Li Chen couldn’t help but be curious.

"The Seven Divine Trees are different from us. As beings, in the endless passage of time, they can also absorb energy and change themselves. Although they cannot cultivate, it doesn’t hinder them from undergoing metamorphosis in other ways." The voice of Primordial Heavy Water carried an indescribable emotion.

"Yes, after all, they are still life forms." The Five Elements Boots were not as reserved as the Primordial Heavy Water, their voice filled with envy.

No matter how powerful they are, they are just artifacts. Even if they possess spiritual intelligence, they do not belong to the true realm of life, unable to undergo metamorphosis or cultivate, and can only become tools.

However, the Seven Divine Trees have their own life. Even if they can’t cultivate, they can undergo metamorphosis in their own way, embarking on a higher and farther path.

Although these Supreme Treasures were immensely powerful from birth, it also meant that the road ahead was sealed for them, unable to advance, and could only float and sink in the long river of time, forever without a chance to free themselves.

Li Chen was momentarily silent, unsure of how to respond to this topic.

"Do you desire to have life?" After a while, Li Chen couldn’t help but ask.

"We dream of it," the Bagua Array Diagram was the first to answer. "But we also know it’s an impossible dream. Even the Supreme Heavenly Dao of the past couldn’t grant us life, nor could the lords of every previous era..."

"Enough, the Eight." The Primordial Heavy Water reprimanded.

The Bagua Array Diagram closed its mouth and did not continue speaking.

Li Chen said nothing, but quietly remembered this matter.

"The World Tree and Jianmu have their world embryos, so where have they gone?" Li Chen asked the Eternal World Tree.

According to the Primordial Heavy Water, of the Five Great Divine Trees among the Seven Divine Trees, none have appeared in the world except for the World Tree and Jianmu. Could it be related to their possession of world embryos?

"Isn’t that obvious?" The Eternal World Tree said helplessly. "With their own world embryos, of course they’ve taken root in them. I haven’t heard anything about them in a long time, so I don’t know where they’ve placed their world embryos."

"Unlike the rest of us five, those two can be said to have already transcended. Perhaps one day when their world embryos reach Great Accomplishment, they will become a true world. A world of the same rank as the Starry Universe, and by then, they will be the creators of that world. As creators, in that world, they will be everything, so why return to the Starry Universe?"

Upon hearing these words from the Eternal World Tree, Li Chen couldn’t help but be slightly shaken in his heart.

Can world embryos really transform into a new world?

A world of the same level as the Starry Universe?

So, doesn’t that mean he could also...

"Alright, alright, after telling you so much, can you let me in now?" the Eternal World Tree looked at the other world in Li Chen’s hand, unable to contain its eagerness.

"Go ahead." Li Chen smiled and completely opened the portal of the minor world.

The countless roots of the Eternal World Tree immediately retracted in an instant and made a dash into Li Chen’s minor world.

Logically, since the Eternal World Tree is rooted in this second layer of the minor world, its roots should already cover the entire land, firmly grasping it, and unless it wishes otherwise, no one can forcibly take it away.

Even if an incredibly powerful being could indeed destroy its body and cut off its trunk, its roots would still regenerate a new trunk from another location, almost having no effect on it whatsoever.

But in this short amount of time, the Eternal World Tree managed to retract all of its roots, which was even more exaggerated than absorbing all Heaven and Earth Essence back into its body in just a few breaths!

"Indeed... it truly is the world embryo!"

Upon entering Li Chen’s minor world, the Eternal World Tree couldn’t help but marvel.

At this moment, a figure approached the Eternal World Tree: "A new neighbor? Welcome, welcome!"

This figure was the Ninth Order Formation Spirit.

"Hello, hello."

"I’ve been living here for quite a while; would you like a tour?"

"Yes, please!"

Li Chen happily watched this scene and then casually closed the portal of the minor world.

As his cultivation continued to improve, the minor world underwent astonishing metamorphosis in silence.

This time, after going through two consecutive tribulations, the minor world underwent another earth-shattering transformation. The borders of the world started to expand at an incredible rate, and overall, Li Chen’s minor world has begun to transform into a larger world.

This minor world, initially just a space for storing things, has now become one of Li Chen’s greatest secrets.

In some aspects, his minor world is even more important than a Supreme Treasure!

With the Divine Ability of Space-Time dissipated, Li Chen was left alone, with the Eternal World Tree having vanished along with the Heaven and Earth Essence.

Some cultivators around couldn’t help but reveal looks of disappointment.

After all, at a glance, that ancient tree was obviously no ordinary treasure, but now the treasure had found a master, leaving them helpless.

If it were someone else, they might still try their luck, gather a few people to see if they could seize it.

But when it comes to this black-clad youth before them, they’d better forget it.

This Madman had, after all, endured through two Heavenly Tribulations, even dispersing the tribulation clouds!

Compared to treasures, one’s own life is more important.

At this moment, the Netherworld and Bai Shi gradually awoke from their cultivation state.

Seeing Li Chen watching them from not far away, they couldn’t help but show smiles.

Although the Heaven and Earth Essence had vanished, they had already gained much from their prior quiet cultivation.

Before setting out, Li Chen had set up several Formation Guards around the two, so despite the recent upheaval, they were not disturbed at all.

"Looks like you’ve gained quite a bit." Li Chen said with a smile as he looked at the two.

"Not bad." Bai Shi scratched his head with a silly smile. "I feel like my Heaven Sovereign Soul Tribulation is about to descend, so I plan to stabilize my cultivation here, and once we leave, I’ll immediately undergo the tribulation."

"Good." Li Chen nodded. "I’ll protect you during that time."

Bai Shi nodded, saying nothing more; with their life-and-death relationship, no further words were needed.

Li Chen’s gaze then shifted to the Netherworld.

"Your bloodline has undergone a reverse evolution." Li Chen said softly.

"Yes." The Netherworld nodded without any hesitation, saying openly, "Every time the Myriad Gu undergoes metamorphosis, it chooses a transformation. This allows the Myriad Gu bloodline to more swiftly attain the ultimate divine skill: Myriad Transformations Body."

Li Chen sighed softly in his heart, nodding. "What form do you intend to take this time?"

"Human!" The Netherworld said firmly, "Father, I am your son. You are of the Human Race, so I am of the Human Race too!"
