Reincarnated as a Ginkgo Tree: I Create an Eternal Divine Kingdom - Chapter 169

The ancient ginkgo tree spanned between heaven and earth, leaving the powerful figures from various nations utterly stunned.

Then, a branch from the ginkgo tree descended from the sky, reaching the spot where Zhu Huang had self-destructed.

Instantly, the terrifying energy from the self-destruction was forcibly suppressed by an invisible, supreme force.

Within moments, the energy from Zhu Huang’s self-destruction was entirely neutralized, as if it had never occurred.

This scene seemed unremarkable on the surface, but the experts from various nations felt as if they had been plunged into an ice-cold abyss, their breaths freezing in their chests.

That was the energy released from the self-destruction of a Divine Transformation cultivator. Even a peak Divine Transformation expert might not have easily contained it. However, with just a branch descending, the energy of the self-destruction had been extinguished like a flame snuffed out by water.

What kind of power was this?

The powerful figures from various nations stared at the ginkgo branch, their minds blank. Despite their vast experiences and knowledge, they found themselves unable to comprehend the scene before them.

“What… what kind of tree is this?” Princess Mosini of the Roman Empire muttered in shock.

Though she appeared youthful, she was far from a young woman, being over seventy years old with an initial Divine Transformation cultivation. Yet, this ancient ginkgo tree seemed to exceed her understanding.

“Princess, this seems to be the Mist Lord, also known as the Divine Tree across the Nanzhao wilderness,” a powerful figure from the Roman Empire remarked gravely.

McKinley, the Grand Elder of the Haori Alliance, was also deeply shaken. At that moment, he realized that he and his comrades had greatly underestimated this forbidden zone’s ruler. Until now, he had believed that the most terrifying forbidden zone in the world was within the Haori Alliance — the Devil’s Forbidden Zone. Only the Eastern Sea’s Forbidden Sea could barely compare.

Now, however, he felt that the Misty Forbidden Zone might rival the Devil’s Forbidden Zone in horror.

Three months ago, he had glimpsed the Devil’s Lord from afar, thinking that this being was the most terrifying existence in the world. But seeing the Mist Lord now, he felt as if he was facing the same fear he had felt that day with the Devil’s Lord.

In the Haori Alliance, the first rule of survival was the law of the jungle. When encountering the weak, they would oppress and exploit them to the fullest. But when encountering the strong, they were more humble than anyone else.

Immediately, McKinley bowed his once-proud head and spoke with reverence, “McKinley, Grand Elder of the Haori Alliance, pays his respects to the Mist Lord.”

At the same time, Holy Son Isuria of the Holy See also saw the towering ginkgo tree.

“Bowing to my master,” Su Yao, Jin Da, and Rahu all greeted respectfully.

Hearing their words, Isuria’s expression stiffened. Previously, he had been filled with fury after being crushed by the Golden-Furred Monkey. At this moment, however, his anger seemed to be doused by icy water, extinguished instantly, leaving his body feeling cold all over.

He could not even defeat the Golden-Furred Monkey. How could he possibly contend with the monkey’s master? Moreover, this ginkgo tree looked supremely majestic, like a divine being. The flame lion bloodline within him shuddered inexplicably.

High in the sky, Su Mu had manifested as a colossal figure, courtesy of his “Boundless Fulfillment” technique. The explosive energy of a Divine Transformation cultivator’s self-destruction was indeed terrifying. Even for him, it required true power to suppress it in an instant, so he had employed Boundless Fulfillment

At this moment, Su Mu’s attention was not on the experts from the various nations; instead, his focus was on the infant in Su Yao’s arms.

The infant had originally been held by Minister Liang but was handed over to Su Yao a short while ago.

[Species: Wangshu]

[Height: 2 feet]

[Lifespan: 10,000,000 years]

[Grade: Fifth-Tier, Lower Grade]

[Abilities: Changxi Bloodline, Power of Time, Spiritual Energy Sublimation]

The infant’s abilities seemed simple, yet their degree of defiance against the heavens appeared to surpass even Rahu’s.

Even Su Mu found his mind stilled when reading the infant’s abilities. His heart tensed up immediately.

This infant was Wangshu.

Su Mu was not unfamiliar with a being like Wangshu. In his previous life, there had been related legends; it was a name associated with the Moon Clan. If it were just the name Wangshu, it might have been a coincidence. But coupled with the “Changxi Bloodline,” it was definitely no coincidence.

Changxi was the Lunar Dao Ancestor and the progenitor of the Moon Clan. Hence, this Wangshu truly belonged to the Moon Clan.

Simply put, the being Su Yao was holding was a moon incarnate.

Wangshu indeed deserved to be called a member of the Moon Clan; its abilities were outrageously formidable. First and foremost was the Power of Time, which represented the rules of time itself. Wangshu possessed the power to manipulate time. Even if this ability was not particularly strong at the moment, it was still beyond comprehension, given that time was an ultimate rule.

Then there was Spiritual Energy Sublimation, meaning that any space Wangshu inhabited would experience a continuous increase in spiritual energy.

Moreover, Wangshu’s lifespan was extremely exaggerated. She was clearly a newborn, yet she already had a lifespan of ten million years and a fifth tier grade. As she grew, her lifespan and grade would become even more exaggerated and heaven-defying.

Su Mu fully understood why the phoenix had exposed itself during its breakthrough. The phoenix must have obtained Wangshu somehow. Wangshu’s presence would inevitably cause fluctuations in spiritual energy. The phoenix had attempted to use its breakthrough to mask Wangshu’s aura. At first, the phoenix succeeded. Unfortunately, its later entrapment and subsequent battle with the nations meant that Wangshu could not be protected.

This showed that in this world, even at the early stage of the Spiritual Awakening Era, humanity remained the dominant force. Even a being like the phoenix found itself powerless against the combined might of humans.

While Su Mu observed Wangshu, the latter seemed to sense something. She opened her pure, bright eyes and gazed at the ancient ginkgo tree. Su Mu had a strong feeling that while others were merely seeing the tree, Wangshu seemed to be looking directly at his primordial spirit within the tree.

As expected of Wangshu, her spiritual perception was truly astonishing.

A cold intent welled up in Su Mu’s heart. “If the heavens present you with a treasure, but you do not take it, you will only bring disaster upon yourself.” With Wangshu already before him, how could he possibly let her go?

Previously, Su Mu was undecided about how to deal with the experts from the various nations. But now, he had no hesitation. Today, he would unleash a great slaughter.

“All beings not of my Misty Forbidden Zone, leave immediately, or face death without mercy!” His voice, like a divine decree, echoed throughout Nanzhao Bay.

The experts from various nations were momentarily stunned before their fury erupted. They admitted that the Mist Lord was indeed fearsome, but to demand they all leave and hand over the human Ginseng Fruit they had fought so hard for with just one sentence? That was simply too much!

“Everyone, we have no choice now!”

“We must join forces and defeat the Mist Lord first, then decide the matter of the human ginseng fruit.”

“I agree…”

In a flash, the nations reached a consensus. Normally, they fought and killed each other. But today, facing a terrifying foe, they managed to unite.

The coalition of experts from various nations was no small threat, including several Divine Transformation cultivators. Their combined battle strength was formidable.

Many cultivators from Great Xia felt a surge of excitement. Perhaps today, they would witness the historic fall of the Mist Lord, thus eliminating a significant threat to their empire.
