Chapter 484 - 241: Bumper Harvest

A month passed by quietly.

Chen Yu had also completed his plan for the Celestial Blue Realm in that time.

He harvested a total of thirty-two World Trees, including the most powerful one.

Within his Divine Domain, dozens of World Trees had now taken root in the void. They stood centered around Ling, guarding it like sentinels.

’Once that fellow Ling wakes up, my strength will absolutely skyrocket.’

Gazing at the numerous World Trees in his Divine Domain, Chen Yu’s heart filled with intense anticipation.

The more he prepared, the greater his advancement would be.

Perhaps, with Ling’s power, he could even comprehend the ninth Law.

When that time came, he would truly achieve Great Perfection.

’Time to go to the next world...’

Looking up at the sky, Chen Yu’s figure flickered and vanished from the spot.

In the starry sky, he activated the Space-Time Law. In what felt like an instant, Chen Yu arrived at the next Human Race World.

The Cyan Profound Realm.

One of the nine realms of the Human Race!

It was also a world rich in resources.

In comparison, the Ancestor Star’s resources were at the very bottom among the nine Human Race realms.

After all, it had been heavily developed and had given birth to many supreme magnates.

Its immense resource consumption was perfectly normal.

But now, thanks to him, the Ancestor Star’s situation had improved greatly. It had received the support of the Human Race, and although its resources were scarce, it was still a habitable world and the birthplace of the Celestial River’s Human Race.

Its importance was self-evident!

Looking at the Cyan Profound Realm before him, Chen Yu immediately checked the information regarding its Anomaly Realms.

Wu Wudi’s information was very detailed.

Identifying a target was quick.

However, how many World Trees he could harvest would depend on his luck.

After all, not every Anomaly Realm’s space-time could give birth to a World Tree.

’I wonder if the Cyan Profound Realm has any strongholds of the Hell races.’

Gazing at the azure planet, Chen Yu stepped into it.

Whether there were any or not, he would know once he went.

If he found one, he would definitely deal with it.

It might not be a problem now, but in the future, once war broke out between the Underworld and Mortal World...

...it could very well be a cataclysmic disaster.

He was well aware of the power of lifeforms from Hell.

He could easily handle Hell lifeforms of the same level, or even stronger ones, but that didn’t mean everyone could.

If it weren’t for the World Trees greatly enhancing his Divine Power and tempering his Laws, along with his numerous Supreme Level abilities, it would be impossible to deal with Hell lifeforms so easily.

...

Time flowed like water.

A year passed in the blink of an eye!

In the Cosmic Deep Space, deep within an abandoned star, several figures gathered.

Each had two horns on their head and a dragon’s tail behind them. Their bodies were suffused with the aura of Hell—they were all from the Hell Nether Race.

"Elder Minggu, so many of our teleportation points in the Celestial River Star System have been wiped out. Is this how you set them up back in the day?"

A member of the Golden Scale Nether Race looked at a black-robed Hell Nether Race member, his expression grim.

The other few Hell Nether Race members also looked at him, but their faces all wore the expression of people watching a show.

Hearing the reprimand, the black-robed Hell Nether Race member’s face turned ugly, but he had no way to rebut.

It was indeed his fault.

Losing one or two teleportation points might have been an accident, but for over a dozen to be destroyed consecutively within a year was definitely no accident.

"I apologize, Grand Elder. This is my fault. I accept my punishment," the black-robed Hell Nether Race member said in a low voice, his head bowed.

"Your attitude is decent enough. However, the plan has been disrupted, and the future losses will be significant. Do you have any leads?" the Golden Scale Nether Race member asked, looking at the black-robed Nether Race member.

The black-robed Nether Race member shook his head. "Grand Elder, I have performed divinations many times, but I cannot deduce any trace, as if it’s being shielded by the rules of the universe."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, a peculiar look appeared on the Golden Scale Nether Race member’s face.

After a moment of contemplation, he spoke. "To be shielded by the rules of the universe... they must have a Cosmic Emperor’s Weapon."

"Grand Elder, what should we do then? Should we go to the Celestial River Star System and lie in wait? We could kill this saboteur," another Hell Nether Race member suggested.

The Golden Scale Nether Race member shook his head. "No, now is not the time to act with such fanfare. If they’re destroyed, they’re destroyed. A single Star System has plenty of teleportation points; we’re not short on those few."

"Then what’s the next step?"

another Hell Nether Race member asked.

"The arrangement phase of the plan is complete. Let’s head to the Outer Domain. It isn’t affected by the universe’s rules, making it easier for us to implement the next step."

the Golden Scale Nether Race member said.

Hearing this, the few Hell Nether Race members nodded.

The black-robed Nether Race member looked at him and said, "Grand Elder, once we are in the Outer Domain, let me be the one to take action. Consider it my way of making up for the loss of the teleportation points."

"Mm, that’s acceptable. You can redeem yourself with merit. I will remember your contribution," the Golden Scale Nether Race member nodded.

Upon hearing this, a look of delight immediately appeared on the black-robed Nether Race member’s face. "Thank you, Grand Elder."

"Alright, let’s move out. We can’t stay here long," the Golden Scale Nether Race member said. The other Nether Race members nodded and set off, disappearing from the abandoned star.

...

「Ancestor Star.」

「Capital City.」

In a mid-mountain villa in the inner city, Chen Yu lay on the sofa, enjoying a rare moment of relaxation.

In over a year, he had finally finished scouring the other realms for World Trees.

His harvest exceeded his imagination; he had collected over three hundred World Trees.

It could be called a massive haul.

’If Ling still hasn’t woken up, I’m afraid I’ll have to wait until after I’ve gone to the Angel Race and fulfilled my agreement with the Empress.’

Lying on the sofa, Chen Yu took a sip of red wine.

Less than three months remained.

He didn’t know if Ling would be able to wake up early.

This slumber seemed to be lasting longer than expected.

It was completely unpredictable.

He had tried to communicate with Ling many times but had received no response.

Ling was the incarnation of the Celestial Dao’s will, so he wasn’t surprised that it needed to sleep for a while.

Perhaps it had fused with too much before.

However, if it woke up, it would probably have to go back to sleep again after another fusion.

With over three hundred World Trees, only a Divine Domain as powerful as his could support them.

Anyone else’s Divine Domain would have likely collapsed long ago.

The power of a World Tree evolves worlds.

Forget a Divine Domain; even a Divine Kingdom couldn’t withstand over three hundred World Trees.

Moreover, not just anyone could absorb the power of a World Tree and make it their own.

Not only would they be unable to absorb it, but it might even cause a devastating blow.

The case of Nangong Ba was a prime example.

’4.5 trillion... still need another 1.5 trillion... No rush. I’m afraid I’ll have to wait until later to act on this.’

He glanced at his status panel. His Source of Life had accumulated to over 4.5 trillion. To evolve his physical body again, he still needed another 1.5 trillion or so Source of Life.

To bridge a gap that large, he would have to slay a True God.

However, he couldn’t make a move at the moment.

After all, the other Alien Races weren’t in a major conflict with the Human Race.

To intervene arbitrarily would be to break the rules.

He might not care personally, but as one of the Human Race Venerables, he had to consider the Human Race as a whole.

Slaying an Alien Race True God required a reason.

He couldn’t just kill one whenever he felt like it.

At least, not in the Celestial River Star System.

As for outside, that was another matter entirely.

Chen Yu wasn’t in a hurry. Once he fulfilled his agreement with the Empress, he would head to the Outer Domain.

The Outer Domain, a convergence of hundreds of millions of star systems, was not short on True Gods.

And he wouldn’t need to consider the consequences of killing them there.
