The roots of the Tree of Life alternated madly like countless legs, so fast they left afterimages, dragging a brilliant five-colored stream of light through the darkness of the Abyss.
It was truly running for its life, using every last ounce of strength just to see Lady Nuwa.
And while running madly, it shouted: “Su Fu, Lady Nuwa, I’m here to help!”
Su Fu: “……”
Although she was deeply moved, the scene was truly absurd.
This tree had really gone crazy running.
In the endless Abyss there was thick blackness like ink and it was dead silent but the leaves of the Tree of Life emitted a resplendent five-colored light.
Vigorous life force like a burning rainbow forcibly carved out a bright road in this extreme darkness, dragging a splendid trail of light.
Light and darkness, motion and stillness.
Su Fu truly had not expected that a tree could run, and run so fast?
Uh, but then again, the Tree of Life was not an ordinary tree.
Elder Olivia had said before that the Tree of Life and Eden had migrated to the Central Star System.
She had not thought deeply about it at the time, nor how such a colossal thing could migrate.
But now, watching this giant tree sprint, Su Fu’s expression gradually turned subtle.
Could it be… Eden was dragged over just like this?!
The scene was too beautiful.
Before she could think further, the Tree of Life had already charged into the Hell Dungeon.
It ran so fast that the wind it stirred even made the Spider Lily Sea shake violently.
Although it kept shouting Su Fu’s name, the entire tree unhesitatingly rushed before Lady Nuwa’s phantom.
Its intention was completely obvious.
Only at this moment did Su Fu feel just how enormous the Tree of Life was; its crown almost covered half the sky.
But even such a towering giant tree, before Lady Nuwa, was only palm-sized compared to her phantom.
The Tree of Life was incredibly excited, its leaves rustling and trembling, its crisp voice carrying a hint of flattery: “Lady Nuwa~ Little Tree Tree is here to help you~”
Su Fu: “? ? ?”
‘Wait, what did you just call yourself?’
Just then, the Tree of Life blazed with light, unhesitatingly activating its own origin life force.
“Buzz–!”
In an instant, a vast and mighty life force surged toward Su Fu like an ocean!
If the life force Su Fu had gathered before was merely a murmuring stream, then now the Tree of Life slammed an entire ocean at her.
Pure, surging, abundant life force poured down from every leaf and branch of the Tree of Life and into Su Fu’s body.
At the same time, it scattered across the entire battlefield.
The sky was dyed with sunset colors by this brilliant light, halos rippling outward layer by layer, mighty vitality sweeping heaven and earth.
Wherever it passed, flowers bloomed on scorched earth, and withered trees met spring.
Su Fu herself was shrouded in a five-colored pillar of light, her hair dancing, her sleeves fluttering.
Her originally exhausted Divine Power was instantly refilled, and even surged wildly!
The Tree of Life happily swayed its leaves and said: “Su Fu! Is that enough? If not, I have more!”
Su Fu: “……………”
‘Enough, really enough.’
If she was filled any more, she was afraid she would sprout first!
Lady Nuwa’s phantom smiled slightly and raised a hand to gently stroke the Tree of Life’s crown.
The Tree of Life looked even more entranced, obediently lifting its head: “Ah! Lady Nuwa touched me! My life is complete!”
Su Fu: “As expected of you.”
She admitted she had underestimated this Tree of Life.
She had not expected this little tree to have such rich life force; truly a divine tree born of heaven and earth.
She now felt her life force, even her Divine Power, was inexhaustible, as if connected to an infinitely powerful super external power bank.
In that case, she could fully drive herself to revive the dead.
Power output maxed out.
As the life force was injected, the scale of humans resurrected on the battlefield suddenly expanded.
Not only that, those resurrected ones who had just crawled out weakly found not only their injuries completely healed, but their physical constitution was even stronger than before.
More dead awakened from their slumber; even originally incomplete bodies and charred bones began rapidly repairing and reorganizing, radiating brand-new vitality.
Severed limbs regrew, flesh and blood were remolded, truly rebirth.
Everyone excitedly raised their heads to look at the sky.
Lady Nuwa’s phantom towered between heaven and earth, radiating the supreme majesty and compassion of the Mother Goddess of Creation.
Before Her, the Tree of Life released light and life with all its strength, countless halos layered, sacred and magnificent.
Just then, someone noticed something was off: “Wait, if I heard correctly just now, that tree… it said it was the Tree of Life?”
“Yes, with that ability it must be the Tree of Life.”
The person beside answered instinctively, but then also realized, “No.”
“Isn’t this color a bit wrong? I remember, the Tree of Life of the Paradise Pantheon, wasn’t it green in the advertisements?”
“That’s right, what I saw before was the same. Green symbolizes life and hope.”
“Then its color…………………?”
Everyone looked at each other.
What was going on?
Could it be that it got tired of its green skin and changed to five-colored?
“By the way, have you noticed? The Tree of Life’s leaves seem to have the same color scheme as Lady Nuwa’s Five-Colored Stone?”
“? ? ?”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked closely, then all gasped in unison.
“What do you mean ‘seem’? They are exactly the same, the same model!”
“I’m a bit confused. Is this still the Tree of Life from Eden?”
“The same as Lady Nuwa’s? Or is it China’s tree?”
Many people secretly glanced at the Pope of the Paradise Pantheon.
Pope Cecilia: “……?”
Something seemed wrong.
Their Paradise Pantheon’s divine tree, the Tree of Life, why did it feel like it belonged to the Chinese Pantheon?!
And also the way the Tree of Life had fawned over Lady Nuwa just now………………
“Lady Nuwa~ Little Tree Tree is here to help you~”
The Pope’s vision went dark.
This was wrong, wasn’t it?
She felt her worldview had received a tiny bit of impact.
The Pope slowly turned her head and gave Houchu a death stare.
Her eyes clearly asked: What is going on? Weren’t you the one responsible for liaising with Su Fu about the Tree of Life? Why does it feel like the Tree of Life is about to be lured away by Su Fu?! Explain yourself quickly!
Houchu: “….”
Cold sweat poured.
He could only cough twice tactically, his gaze shifting.
He mumbled “Uh…………… this……………… that………………” for a long time, but could not give a proper explanation.
The Pope: “….”
She then silently looked at Elder Olivia beside her.
Olivia: “Cough……………… The weather is really nice today.”
A tactical look at the sky, but unfortunately she still could not avoid it.
Finally, under the Pope’s sharp gaze, she could only say vaguely: “Ah, this… the Tree of Life is…………… rather charitable………………”
The Pope: “……………… You call this charity?”
This is clearly favoritism toward Lady Nuwa!
It’s over.
So… their divine tree now belongs to China?
Under the blessing of endless vitality, all the fallen regained new life.
Not merely physical recovery, but as if they had undergone a complete rebirth.
The earth also radiated vigorous vitality, the sky clear as washed, clouds brilliant.
Those reborn either wept in each other’s arms, raised their arms and shouted, or knelt piously, fully feeling the ecstasy of surviving the calamity.
Su Fu also let out a long breath and slowly withdrew her Godly Power.
Lady Nuwa’s Divine Manifestation gently watched her, then looked at all humanity, her figure slowly fading.
“Wuwu…… Lady, don’t go! Little Tree Tree can’t bear to part with you!”
Amid the Tree of Life’s reluctance, Lady Nuwa merely smiled gently, her figure gradually dissipating between heaven and earth.
Wind stopped, light settled.
The world returned to peace.
Just then, Shen Yan’s voice suddenly sounded in everyone’s ears: [I am very pleased to see that all of you have successfully survived.]
Its voice was gentler than ever before; it was the first time everyone had heard such a tone, and they all felt overwhelmed by the favor.
[The following will broadcast the current civilization data to everyone:]
[Current number of contained Anomalies: 167,892, divine faith index: 90.7%, technological development index: 95.3%, civilization security index: 93.9%, massive increase of 30%……]
[Thank you to every pioneer who fought to protect human civilization.]
[May we walk with the gods, pass the flame from generation to generation, and let the light of civilization shine over the vast worlds.]
Shen Yan’s voice paused slightly, then announced with a touch of solemnity: [Because the False God Satan has been detected as completely dead, and his Anomaly replication system has collapsed]
[The current world threat index has dropped sharply, and the civilization crisis index has significantly decreased]
[The deity return parameter has reached the critical value, and the realm barriers are undergoing structural changes]
[The human civilization potential index has grown explosively, breaking through the historical extreme]
[Divine Movement is about to undergo a version update to adapt to the brand-new era]
[New features added this time: Myriad Realms Star Map (unlocks Interstellar plane exploration and union); Divine Realm Beacon (guides and directs the path of the Divine Realm’s return); Chronicle of the Golden Age (inscribes the heroes and their deeds who made immortal contributions to the survival of civilization during this crisis)]
[Upgraded features: Heavenly Secret Insight (Causality Panorama), Fate Deduction (Myriad Realms Torrent Edition)……]
[Codename of this update: Apocalypse: Stars Return]
[The twilight of the False Gods has ended; the true light shines again upon the primordial beginning.]
[At the moment the stars return, listen to the surging tides of the Myriad Realms, and witness the gods descending upon the world again.]
[The Starry River henceforth shines bright; China’s glory illuminates the world!]<10
[In the era of Apocalypse, witness the reforging of the Golden Age, and rebuild the immortal Divine Land!]
[Estimated completion time: 7 days]
[Note: To ensure a smooth transition of world laws, during the update, Shen Yan’s core computation will be fully devoted to constructing the new version, some functions will be temporarily closed.]
[Thus, the Glimmer Boundary version ends. Thank you for your witness and progress.]
[Looking forward to meeting you again in the brand-new era.]
[Countdown: 167:59:58…]
In the center of the interface, the faint glimmers flickering in the darkness gradually gather, like fireflies first awakening in the night.
Then they grow brighter and brighter, gathering from all directions, connecting with each other, slowly returning along their trajectories to the star positions they should occupy, forming brilliant trails.
They gradually outline a magnificent and brilliant Milky Way Star Map.
In the center of the Star Map, a brilliant pillar of light shoots into the sky; amid the interweaving light, a huge phantom of the Apocalypse Gate emerges.
Though the door is not fully open, it will eventually open wide.
The shadows of old days have dispersed; the Apocalypse Gate opens wide, awaiting the return of the stars, and the glory of all gods descends again.
Su Fu looked at Shen Yan’s update interface; below it, there was also an additional retrospective record of historical versions.
She clicked open the most recently concluded [Glimmer Boundary], displaying Shen Yan’s verdict: [In the just-concluded Glimmer Boundary version, humanity struggled bitterly on the edge of darkness and glimmer.]
[The shadow of the False Gods covered the land; we resisted the erosion of decay, sought the glimmer to break the deadlock, and lit the torch of hope in despair and prayed day and night for the dawn.]
[In the end, dawn arrived as promised.]
[The shadows were dispersed, and human civilization welcomed rebirth through the baptism of blood and fire.]
[All that was lost will return to its rightful place; all that was twisted will be corrected.]
Result.
Su Fu silently finished reading, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
Further down was the [Gear of Destiny] version.
She suddenly remembered what Teacher Zhuge had once said: “The interpretation of a version is often not in the present. Because those caught in the torrent of the times are always confined by the fog before their eyes, unable to see clearly the full trajectory of history and the final cause. Only an observer standing after the timeline can truly see where the gears of fate pushed the era, and ultimately what result settled.”
Then, what about now?
She opened the summary of [Gear of Destiny].
[Version Name: Gear of Destiny]
[Version Verdict: The world’s fate is silently accelerating; the game between powerful individuals and forces hidden behind history begins to faintly and intermittently drive the course of history.]
[Conspiracy and opportunity shadow each other; challenge and change coexist.]
[Human civilization, in the cracks of an intricate Chessboard, arduously seeks a path of autonomous fate.]
[A variable has been born; the trajectory is hard to determine; everything lies on an unknown path.]
The verdict was profoundly mysterious, yet Su Fu understood it at once.
The powerful individual undoubtedly referred to her master Tai Xuanzi; the forces hidden behind were naturally the False Gods and the Aristocratic Alliance.
As for challenge and change, they referred to the Ministry of Education and Tai Xuanzi forming an alliance and beginning an education revolution.
Then what about the last sentence?
“A variable has been born-“
Su Fu felt her scalp tingle as she read, remembering that she had come here precisely during the Gear of Destiny version.
So… she had come from the [Gear of Destiny] version, step by step walked through the blood and fire of [Glimmer Boundary], and finally welcomed [Stars Return].
All of this now seemed not to be a coincidence.
She was the “variable” in “a variable has been born.”
In China’s Inheritance, there is a saying of the Dayan Number: fifty, of which forty-nine are used, and one escapes.
The Heavenly Dao evolves all things and has its fixed number, but it always leaves a thread of variable, a thread of vitality.
Herself, perhaps, was the one that the sages of China, thousands of years ago or even in a more distant era, had foreseen in their deductions and plans-the one that escaped.
Thinking of this, Su Fu felt an indescribable shock rise from the bottom of her heart, making her scalp tingle.
China’s chess game began thousands of years ago.
Now the layout is complete, and the prosperous age is finally welcomed.
The Apocalypse Gate will eventually open, and the Divine Realm is about to return and the Gods of China……. will descend upon the world again!
This is a brand-new era.
This is China’s glorious epoch.
‘Then, Master……………… Can we finally meet again?’
