Reincarnated as a Ginkgo Tree: I Create an Eternal Divine Kingdom - Chapter 137

Su Mu released the female Void Land Silkworm.

As soon as the female Void Land Silkworm landed, it merged directly into the ground.

Though its body size was small, upon merging with the earth, the ground within a radius of ten thousand feet around it transformed into the shape of the Void Land Silkworm.

Simultaneously, the male Void Land Silkworm merged into the ground beneath Su Mu’s roots.

Similarly, the land within a radius of ten thousand feet transformed into the shape of the Void Land Silkworm.

These two places were instantly connected through the void.

It was like a piece of paper.

If an ant were to crawl from one end of the paper to the other, it would take a long time.

But if a hole was made in the middle, the ant could reach the other side instantly.

The Void Land Silkworms functioned in a similar manner.

Although the core of the Misty Forbidden Zone was over two thousand miles away from the Nanzhao Bay, these two locations now completely overlapped.

Su Mu, located at the core of the Misty Forbidden Zone, was also present at the shores of Nanzhao Bay.

A space with a radius of ten thousand feet along the Nanzhao Bay coast was instantly shrouded in mist.

If someone were nearby, they would see a towering ancient ginkgo tree, over a hundred feet tall, looming faintly within the mist.

“Not bad,” Su Mu remarked, quite pleased.

This overlapping space would not only allow him to travel freely between the two locations in the future but also enable the core commanders of the Misty Forbidden Zone to teleport there.

However, other creatures of the Misty Zone wouldn’t have the privilege.

Yet, they could still reach the location by traveling along the Meng River.

“Lord Divine Tree?”

Before long, the Spirit Crows, Snow Spirit Mink, and the Roe Deer appeared at Nanzhao Bay.

Their faces were filled with surprise.

Just a moment ago, they were in the Misty Forbidden Zone; now they had somehow arrived at Nanzhao Bay.

It was as if there were a door between the core of the Misty Forbidden Zone and Nanzhao Bay.

One side of the door was the core of the Misty Forbidden Zone; opening the door led directly to Nanzhao Bay.

It was truly incredible.

Su Mu didn’t bother to give them a detailed explanation.

Primarily because it wouldn’t be meaningful.

“Get accustomed to the surroundings. You will soon hunt sea monsters in Nanzhao Bay,” Su Mu instructed.

The Spirit Crows and Snow Spirit Mink were excited and flew into the sky over Nanzhao Bay.

Given the current tier of the Snow Spirit Mink, flying was routine.

The Roe Deer did not venture into the sea but happily hopped and played along the beach.

After they left, Su Mu’s consciousness returned to the two Void Land Silkworms.

He decided to feed them life essence daily.

By persevering with this, he believed that even if the silkworms were dull, they would eventually develop a sense of faith in him.

Only then could Su Mu truly control them.

These silkworms were too important to Su Mu; he couldn’t afford any mishaps.

If they continued to resist developing a sense of faith, Su Mu would have no choice but to spend a large amount of lifespan to directly replicate their abilities.

Meanwhile…

In the depths of a dark bay, a place like a black hole in the sea, every fish that ventured near would vanish.

Upon closer inspection, one could see a pair of pitch-black vertical pupils hidden in the water.

These pupils were filled with savagery and cruelty.

Sensing something, they lifted to look upward.

Then, a gleam flashed within the vertical pupils.

They sensed that many high-quality prey had suddenly appeared above the water.

Splash!

The next moment, the surrounding waters, within nearly a thousand feet, began to surge.

At Nanzhao Bay, the previously clear sky suddenly turned dark.

Thick clouds rolled in, and thunder and lightning filled the sky.

The sea surface, on the other hand, became surprisingly calm.

A profoundly oppressive atmosphere spread across the sea.

This was the Misty Forbidden Zone’s first foray into the sea.

But the celestial phenomena seemed to warn the Misty Forbidden Zone that today would not be easy.

At the shore of Nanzhao Bay…

“Hmm?”

The branches of the ginkgo tree swayed.

“Lord Divine Tree?”

The Spirit Crows on the branches were the first to notice the anomaly.

The Snow Spirit Mink and the Foolish Roe Deer, who were momentarily at rest nearby, also turned their attention to Su Mu.

“It’s nothing, just something quite interesting I’ve discovered,” Su Mu replied calmly.

He wasn’t afraid of powerful beings in the sea; in fact, he was quite eager.

After all, the stronger the being, the more lifespan it would offer.

Ahead, the tranquil sea suddenly churned.

Then, it was as if a small island rose from the water.

It was a giant black shark, a hundred feet long.

As it moved, it stirred the surrounding water.

A tsunami surged toward the coast.

Initially, some of the Mist Army intended to explore the sea by boat.

But they were forced to retreat in the face of the tsunami.

Several boats were capsized on the spot.

Apart from the giant black shark, many other black sharks swam in the water.

Although their size and aura were not as formidable as the giant black shark, they were still extraordinary.

Moreover, more sea monsters began swimming toward the shore from all directions.

Su Mu remained calm.

What lay ahead was bound to be a great massacre.

The boundless ocean harbored countless dangers.

Su Mu had sensed many powerful presences.

Thus, he needed to seize every opportunity to enhance his strength.

His observations over this period showed that the human race was indeed extraordinary, with a rapid growth rate. He could never afford to be complacent. He had to constantly improve himself to stay ahead of the times.

In an instant, Su Mu’s roots extended rapidly, reaching directly into the sea.

His roots could easily extend up to 3,300 feet.

Thus, the sea area within 3,300 feet quickly became a killing ground.

The giant black shark, despite its considerable power as a lower fourth-tier being, stood no chance against Su Mu.

A thick root pierced the water.

The giant black shark sensed the threat and desperately created a whirlpool to defend itself.

But the whirlpool was effortlessly penetrated by Su Mu’s root.

Splurt!

Moments later, blood bloomed in the water.

Su Mu’s root had pierced the giant black shark.

At the same time, his other roots were slaughtering the remaining black sharks.

These black sharks had long ruled over Nanzhao Bay’s waters.

They hadn’t expected to encounter such a terrifying entity like Su Mu.

The Black Shark clan of Nanzhao Bay suffered a devastating blow on this day!

“This is not enough.”

Seeing his massacre causing hesitation among the other sea monsters nearby, Su Mu immediately condensed ten drops of life essence and tossed them into the water.

The life essence was a powerful lure for all creatures.

Instantly, the sea monsters went wild.

A multitude of sea monsters surged forward.

Su Mu showed no mercy.

His roots, like dragons, tore through the water.

Meanwhile, his lifespan increased rapidly.

Su Mu pondered; the hunting efficiency was still not enough.

The recent war in Nanzhao had amassed a large amount of lifespan for him.

“Upgrade Water Breathing.”

150,000 years of lifespan vanished instantly, raising Water Breathing to the eighth tier.

Su Mu felt it was still insufficient.

300,000 years of lifespan disappeared, and Water Breathing soared to the ninth tier.

Over half of the lifespan gained from the battle in Nanzhao was consumed in an instant.

However, this expenditure brought substantial rewards.

Su Mu immediately sensed a significant increase in his killing power within the water.

Splash!

In the depths of the sea, an even larger shadow rose.

It was a sea beast resembling a giant sea cow.

Its body was over two thousand feet long, the largest creature Su Mu had ever encountered.

Roar!

A terrifying roar erupted from the sea beast’s mouth.

It then whipped up a massive surge of water.

The water transformed into a water dragon that charged toward Su Mu.

“Fifth tier!”

Su Mu grew more cautious.

The aura emanating from the sea beast was undoubtedly at the fifth tier.

And it wasn’t a fifth-tier lifeform like the Void Land Silkworms that lacked combat abilities.

This was, by far, the strongest opponent Su Mu had ever faced.

With a thought, Su Mu swung a main root toward it.

Boom!

The main root collided with the water dragon.

The water dragon shattered immediately.

Su Mu also felt a powerful impact on his root.

A terrifying storm erupted from the point of impact, creating waves over a thousand feet high.

From this clash, it was clear that Su Mu had the upper hand.

Su Mu was not one to miss an advantage.

Multiple roots lashed out, giving the sea beast no time to breathe.

The sea beast was evidently caught off guard.

It was the true overlord of this sea area, hiding deep in the bay.

Upon discovering the Mist Army, it had intended to hunt.

But it hadn’t anticipated such a formidable adversary.

Yet, as a ruler, it wouldn’t retreat so easily, knowing the difficulty of the challenge.

Soon, a terrifying suction force emanated from its body.

Splash!

The surrounding water instantly formed a vortex.

The vortex rapidly expanded to a diameter of three thousand feet.

Su Mu sensed trouble as well.

The suction force of this vortex was indeed terrifying.

His roots were caught in the vortex, unable to move.

The sea beast seemed intent on tearing his roots apart by force.

Su Mu couldn’t help but admire; a fifth-tier being was indeed not so easily subdued.

But Su Mu had more tricks up his sleeve.

He glanced at his lifespan.

Earlier, slaughtering numerous sea monsters had earned him 170,000 years of lifespan.

Combined with the remaining 80,000 years, he now had a total of 250,000 years.

Without hesitation, he infused 150,000 years of lifespan into his Metal Splitting Power.

Meta; Splitting Power was then raised to the eighth tier.

Instantly, the lethality of Su Mu’s roots increased dramatically.

Splash!

The roots unleashed even greater power.

Caught off guard, the sea beast’s vortex was shattered by Su Mu’s roots.

But the sea beast still did not easily concede defeat.

It released even more terrifying demonic energy.

In no time, another vortex formed in the water, this time expanding to a diameter of eight thousand feet.

While Su Mu battled the sea beast, the Southern Desolation nations were in turmoil.

The nations of the Southern Desolation also had methods to monitor spiritual energy levels.

At this moment, these nations detected the spiritual energy levels in the direction of the Nanzhao Bay soaring at a terrifying speed.

The most terrified among them was the Luo Hu Kingdom, the nation closest to Nanzhao.

The Luo Hu Kingdom was a neighboring country to Nanzhao, with parts of its territory also adjacent to Nanzhao Bay.

At the capital of the Luo Hu Kingdom…

“Buzz! Spiritual energy levels at 1.2 million, 1.4 million, 1.6 million…”

“Buzz! Spiritual energy levels at 1.8 million, exceeding monitoring limits; the formation will temporarily shut down to prevent collapse…”

The high-ranking officials of the Luo Hu Kingdom were all pale with shock.
