Primordial Ancient Serpent-Chapter 188: The Will of All Beings, The Promotion of the World Tree

In the blink of an eye, another million years had passed. The Chaos Coin had become increasingly widespread, permeating every aspect of the Chaos World. Even if other gods were reluctant to use it, they could not resist the inevitable tide of fate.

Some attempted to create their own currencies, but none could gain recognition. The Chaos Coin alone had ascended to the position of the universal equivalent, the singular currency acknowledged by all.

At this moment, deep within the space of the Chaos Orb, the World Tree, in the form of a young Loli, was diligently focused on restoring her leaves when she suddenly sensed an unimaginable force emerging from the void.

"What... what is this?!"

Her eyes widened in astonishment. Within the depths of her consciousness, she discovered a radiant cluster of golden light, emanating boundless energy.

It bore a striking resemblance to the legendary Light of Merit.

When Gu Chuan created the Chaos Coin, he had naturally received the majority of the merit. However, the World Tree, which had provided the raw materials for its creation, was not forgotten by the Source of Chaos. Recognizing her contribution, it bestowed upon her a share of the Light of Merit, which instantly fused into the depths of her sea of consciousness.

To Gu Chuan, this fraction of merit was insignificant. But to the World Tree—who had yet to attain enlightenment—it was an unfathomable gift.

"The Light of Merit... It really is the Light of Merit! I never imagined that I, the great World Tree, would one day receive such a blessing. Truly, I am the favored child of destiny!"

With hands on her hips, she burst into laughter, brimming with pride. Though she had no idea how she had obtained this divine radiance, that hardly mattered—she was basking in her own greatness.

Yet, the merit was not the only gift she received. A vast surge of void energy poured into her being, saturating every leaf, every branch, every root.

This energy was none other than the power of faith.

As the Chaos Coin had become the recognized currency of the Chaos World, nearly every being possessed one, subconsciously entrusting a fragment of their thoughts to it. Though their faith was not fervent, and the devotion of each individual was minuscule, the sheer scale of believers made up for it. Over countless ages, these trickles of faith converged into an overwhelming tide.

And unbeknownst to the other gods, all this accumulated faith flowed directly into the World Tree.

"What is this power? Why do I feel myself growing stronger?"

The World Tree Loli was bewildered. As the energy seeped into her being, she could feel it integrating into her very essence. Her roots, branches, and even the dimensional worlds within her leaves underwent a fundamental transformation.

The previously fragile dimensions began to form world barriers, evolving from illusion into reality.

With time, these dimensions would no longer be mere pocket realms—they would mature into independent worlds, and eventually, even great worlds.

This was an opportunity of unparalleled magnitude.

The path of the World Tree was inherently arduous. Despite her exceptional talent and immense accumulation of energy, her advancement was far more difficult than that of other Chaos Demon Gods. It could take billions of epochs before she could hope to ascend.

But now, with this unexpected surge of faith, her progress had been accelerated beyond measure.

If she succeeded, she would immediately stand among the ranks of the most powerful gods.

"Ooooh, my power... my magic power is rising endlessly!"

The World Tree Loli let out an excited scream, bursting into euphoric laughter. "Hahaha! As expected of me, the greatest genius! I truly am the mightiest Demon God in Chaos!"

She could feel it—she was on the verge of enlightenment.

For most Demon Gods, the ability to create a world was something that could only be attained after achieving enlightenment. But the World Tree was different.

She was born with the power of creation. Worlds sprouted from her being as naturally as leaves on a tree.

Among all Demon Gods, her talent was unparalleled, her potential monstrous.

And the power of faith was the key to her evolution.

Faith was the will of all beings, the force that allowed worlds to grow and transform. It was this very power that now flowed into her, reshaping her existence.

Thus, as the dimensional worlds within her leaves evolved, so too did she.

Among the myriad Demon Gods of Chaos, the World Tree was uniquely suited to the path of faith.

Had she relied solely on her own power, it might have taken countless epochs before she could break through. But with Gu Chuan's intervention, she had received an opportunity of eternal significance—an era-spanning chance for transcendence.

If the other Chaos Demon Gods discovered this, their jealousy would know no bounds.

Meanwhile, within the Chaos Orb, other Lolis—such as the Star Tree, the Demon Tree, and the Starlight Grass—began to notice the changes within the World Tree.

"Look! The boss's aura... it's different!"

The Starlight Grass Loli was the first to speak.

"No way... Is the boss about to attain the Dao? Is she about to transcend?"

The Demon Tree Loli was stunned. She remembered how their boss had spent her days lazily napping, never bothering with cultivation. And now, out of nowhere, she was breaking through?

This was beyond absurd!

"It's so strange... The boss never showed signs of enlightenment before. Why now?"

The other Lolis were equally confused.

"I know!"

The Star Tree Loli suddenly shouted with conviction. "The boss must have gone bald!"

The other Lolis blinked in confusion.

"Think about it! If we plant-type Demon Gods want to gain enlightenment, we have to become bald! Otherwise, how can we grow stronger?"

She sounded utterly convinced.

The others hesitated for a moment, then gasped in realization.

"Wait... you might be right! The boss was fine before, but now she's breaking through. The only explanation is that she's bald!"

"Could it be that the World Tree, after losing all her leaves, entered a Buddhist state, cutting away all worldly attachments, and in that moment, achieved enlightenment?"

"Terrifying! The boss is terrifying! Even after being punished to go bald, she used it as an opportunity to attain the Dao. Truly worthy of the World Tree!"

"Hair is the thread of worldly attachments. If one does not sever their ties to the mundane, how can they transcend?"

One by one, the Lolis came to a startling realization.

"If we want to attain the Dao... we must also become bald!"

A wave of solemn understanding spread through the group.

And thus, the legend of the Bald Enlightenment was born.
