Chapter 409: Predestined Ending

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Goddess… why are you here?”

As he spoke, the old man formed by the will of the treasure tree suddenly turned into a young man of 15 or 16 years old. At the same time, his mouth was trembling and his mind was in a mess.

“It’s not that I didn’t plan to look for you according to the plan. I arranged for the three little dragons to gather the five world cores to find your whereabouts and accumulate enough energy fruits at the same time.”

The treasure tree’s will suddenly became very humble, and it quickly revealed everything.

This surprised Chen Yiming.

From this, it could be seen that the female spirit’s true status was higher than his.

“Cut the crap.”

The female spirit’s pale eyes revealed a hint of displeasure. Immediately, the young man formed by the treasure tree’s will trembled again.

She turned to Chen Yiming and said, “Human, take away the treasure tree and use your special space-manipulation ability to lure the creatures from the black tide close to you.”

“Next, just like the last time we communicated, as long as you can touch the creature sent by the black tide with your ring, I can pull him into the ring space.”

Hearing this, Chen Yiming shuddered. His expression had remained the same in front of the treasure tree, but when it was the female spirit’s turn, his act was broken.

“Goddammit, doesn’t this mean that my life has actually been in the hands of the female spirit without me knowing?”

“I even provoked her a few times and repeatedly jumped in front of her.”

“Uh… At that time, my own value shouldn’t be worth it for the female spirit to attack me. When the female spirit attacks, there will definitely be restrictions. I need to consider the price I have to pay and whether the gains are worth it…”

The female spirit noticed Chen Yiming’s abnormal behavior and continued, “I know your goal is also to obtain the essence energy accumulated by the world core.”

“In return, the world core that the treasure tree has already controlled will belong to me. How about you take the remaining four world cores and the map of the universe that we obtained from the black tide?”

As soon as she finished speaking, before Chen Yiming could weigh the pros and cons, the young man formed by the will of the treasure tree panicked. “Goddess, it’s fine if we give out the map, but how can we give away most of the essence energy?”

“It’s not good to miss out on the energy from the five worlds in front of us where the world’s will coexists with the living creatures…”

At this point, the young man formed by the will of the treasure tree shut his mouth. He realized that he had revealed something he should not have said, or something taboo, causing the female spirit to glare at him.

“Essence energy.”

“A world where the will of the world and living creatures coexist.”

“The space anchor that has yet to be retrieved which is marking a mysterious place.”

Chen Yiming instantly connected these pieces of information and realized that at the level of the female spirit, she also valued the essence energy very much.

Clearly, he had underestimated its value. There was a competition here.

Previously, he had thought that since the terrifying creatures in the dark forest world could bring out the foundation bases, it meant that the value of the core of the world was only so-so.

When the black tide invaded the world, they also only controlled the core of the world.

“The reason why the will of the treasure tree is in a hurry is not because the world’s will coexists with living beings. It’s so rare that it’s very difficult to find it. Instead, after reaching a certain level, there will be a corresponding limit to its movements.”

“This restriction might be why they cannot invade the inhabited worlds as easily as the black tide. There is some kind of order in the universe that we don’t know about until we reach a certain level.”

In an instant, Chen Yiming had many other thoughts.

However, this was only a guess. He needed to slowly find the answer in the future.

Soon, the deal was decided according to the female spirit’s instructions.

In reality, the outcome had already been decided when the female spirit took the initiative to appear.

Chen Yiming wasn’t willing to give up on the ring so easily. In the future, he would need the help of the female spirit to enter the universe along with the human spaceship fleet.

Moreover, the female spirit had never really harmed him.

As for the treasure tree’s opinion, it would listen to everything the female spirit said. It had no right to bargain with Chen Yiming.

…

Just as Chen Yiming, the female spirit, and the treasure tree reached an agreement, the black dot within the white light from the door had already turned into a black ball that was about to fill up the entire door.

“Something is about to come out of the door.”

The expressions of the terrifying creatures changed.

However, at this moment, not only were the three dragon gods and the treasure tree still trapped, but the visitor who claimed to be from the central galaxy also had no intention of making a move.

“Swish!”

When the white light shining from the door was completely covered by the black ball, three figures rushed out of the door.

To everyone’s surprise, the three figures’ bodies were similar to those of the person who claimed to be from the central galaxy. The only difference was that their skin was not yellow, but blue.

The three of them were a man in a black cloak, an old man in a long robe, and a beautiful woman in a formal dress.

The moment these three figures appeared, the shadows of the bird creatures turned back into diagrams and returned to the stone platform. The door slowly dissipated, and the stone platform returned to its original state.

However, an aura that shook the starry sky pressed down heavily on the plate-shaped world. Most of the creatures were lying on the ground, waiting to be slaughtered.

Even the terrifying creatures felt that they could not breathe and could not straighten their backs due to the pressure from the invisible force.

This made Chen Yiming’s figure stand out. He was exposed to everyone, and his powerful physique only had its speed reduced.

“They’re all humans. What’s their relationship?”

Seeing this, the three dragon gods were shocked and panicked.

It seemed that the human race was extraordinary in the universe. Now, they had become different factions and were fighting among themselves.

Soon, a dark creature rose into the air and left the plate-shaped world. It arrived in front of the three blue-skinned humans and communicated with them.

From the expressions on their faces, it seemed to be explaining the reason for suddenly summoning them.

This was especially true for the old man in the long robe. He had a smile on his face as he turned his gaze to the treasure tree at the center of the world.

“Not bad, not bad. This treasure tree is enough to overturn the luck of a world. After nurturing it for more than 1,000 years, it will accumulate a terrifying foundation.”

“Just the fruits that it produces are worth a lot. They can be used for trade or personal use.”

“At that time, it might help me take another step forward and become the absolute overlord of a few galaxies.”

However, at this moment,

with a thought, Chen Yiming’s figure disappeared from his original spot and reappeared beside the treasure tree. The black net couldn’t block him at all and he slipped in just like that.

“Brat!”

The old man glared at him, and a will that could tear through the sky charged into the galaxy. Cracks appeared in the air, as if the world’s will was angry.

This anger was not something the three dragon gods could compare to. In terms of aura, it was comparable to the will of the world.

The black-cloaked man and the beautiful woman also had ugly expressions on their faces. They did not expect that after the three of them arrived, someone would dare to take advantage of the situation.

At the same time, many of the dark creatures were clearly stunned.

He did not make a move earlier or later, but attacked at the very moment when the three big shots descended into this world. Did he have so much confidence? Or was he deliberately provoking them?

It had to be known that these three big shots were all famous existences in this galaxy. They might not be the strongest, but they were still big shots who stood at the top and looked down on the rest of the galaxy.

They came from a faction with a powerful background and had influence across several galaxies. They had never encountered such disrespectful behavior.

Of course, on the surface, they had a high status. But the three blue-skinned humans had secretly joined the black tide and worked for it, becoming its lackeys.

By relying on the stone platform to open up a space-travel passage that could span galaxies, they could end the battle and return quickly so that they would not be discovered to be related to the black tide.

“That’s it? Who are you trying to scare?”

Chen Yiming muttered to himself as he reached out his hand with the ring and touched the treasure tree.

In the next moment, the treasure tree disappeared under the gaze of everyone. The black net that could interfere with the flow of energy lost its effect again.

“A ring with the space attribute.”

Chen Yiming had extended his hand. The ring on his thumb became the first suspicious target.

This was completely out of the dark creatures’ expectations, causing them to not be able to inform the three big shots who had arrived in advance. The treasure tree was snatched away just like that.

“Human, you’re courting death!”

The woman’s scream turned into a terrifying sound wave that spread out.

Perhaps because very few people dared to openly snatch what she wanted, at this moment, she seemed to have lost her rationality and attacked indiscriminately.

The first to suffer was the dark creature closest to her. It instantly seemed to have lost its soul, and its entire body stiffened. Then, it fell from space into the plate-shaped world.

Facing such a lethal sound wave, the expressions of all the creatures in the plate-shaped world changed, including the dark creatures.

Unexpectedly, when this woman went crazy, she did not even care about those that were on the same side.

However, the range of the sound wave attack was too wide. It completely enveloped the plate-shaped world, and no one could escape its impact.

“Those who are fated to obtain the treasure will get it. You guys are just pretending to be cool. You just stood there after walking out of the space-travel passage. You can’t blame me for this,”

Chen Yiming said as he gave the three of them the middle finger. He didn’t care if they could understand him or not. He just wanted to provoke them.

With that, he activated his Space Anchor talent and disappeared from his spot again. When he reappeared, he was already outside the plate-shaped world. Then, he leaped through space and disappeared into space.

“Are you crazy? Chase after him!”

The old man in the long robe waved his hand, and the sound waves that were about to sweep through the plate-like world dissipated. It seemed to be just a loud sound, but in reality, it was just a bluff.

The woman snapped out of her daze and snorted. She was the first to chase after Chen Yiming.

In the next moment, the three figures disappeared one after another. It was as if they could travel through space, and in a flash, they had crossed a large distance in space.

“Don’t think that you can be arrogant just because you have a space-manipulation ability,”

a dark creature chuckled as it watched Chen Yiming disappear.

It turned out that when Chen Yiming was clearing out the dark creatures in the black water pit, the black tide had specially called people who also had the ability to teleport.

Using the treasure tree as bait to let the humans deal with the human was agreed by the supreme will in charge of this galaxy. Therefore, a space-travel passage was temporarily opened to welcome the arrival of the three blue-skinned humans.

“Boom!”

A terrifying tremor came from outer space.

The oldest dragon god snapped out of its daze.

In the end, it had lost the treasure tree. It had been taken away right under its nose, and it could only watch and do nothing.

“Will the person from the central galaxy send the treasure tree back later?”

As soon as this thought appeared, it was extinguished. Thinking about it, it was impossible. How could he give back the treasure he had obtained? It did not make sense.

The dark creatures had summoned such terrifying existences, and three of them at once. They had descended from the other side of the galaxy, so the value of the treasure tree was far beyond their imagination.

At this moment, the plate-shaped world fell into a dead silence.

Due to their disadvantage in numbers, the terrifying creatures were being surrounded by many dark creatures. At this time, whoever was the first to rush into the starry sky would undoubtedly become a target.

To the dark creatures, the black tide wanted to occupy and rule over the living world. After the three big shots snatched back the treasure tree, the supreme will would decide what to do with this world.

No dark creature thought that Chen Yiming would be able to escape alive. This was something they had specially prepared for him after suffering a few losses.

…

Just as the pursuit in the starry sky erupted,

on the blue planet, in the Daxia Kingdom,

an international video conference was held again. The participants included the spiritual figure and the heads of all the countries.

“What! An incomplete spaceship that we can completely empty out?”

a leader of a small country said in surprise.

According to the spiritual figure that represented Chen Yiming’s will, after the battle in the other world ended, the humans would arrange for a spaceship to enter the dark forest world and sail to a plate-like world.

There were black technology materials there that could be used by humans to build their spaceships.

“Our spaceship also uses a large amount of technological equipment. There might be a problem if we enter the dark forest world rashly,”

the top leader of the Daxia Kingdom said worriedly.

Ever since the otherworld invaded the blue planet, the problem of the operation of technological equipment there had not been resolved. Experts from all over the world were worried sick about this.

Be it modifying the parameters, replacing the materials, or so on, they had thought of all the methods they could think of. It was as if the world was faintly rejecting the human technology.

The spiritual figure had a calm expression as it said calmly, “The secret of the dark forest world that can help living creatures cultivate is in the will of the world born from the core of the world.”

“In other words, all humans are considered intruders to a world with a will of its own. If they are discovered, they will be rejected.”

“The will of the dark forest world was split into five. There’s a huge problem. Otherwise, it won’t be as simple as being repelled. As long as humans enter, they will be viewed as enemies and will constantly encounter all kinds of dangers.”

As soon as it finished speaking, before the leaders of the various countries could come back to their senses, the higher-ups of the military and the people in charge of the key laboratories were stunned by the news.

Everyone had the same mindset. For example, as long as conditions were met, human spacecraft could land normally on the blue planet, Mars, and the moon.

Who would have thought that a world with the will of its own would be so hostile to outsiders?

The world had its own will. It had always been thought that it was something that the ancestors had imagined. They did not expect it to actually be real.

After a while, there was a commotion in the video conference. The heads of the various countries discussed the plan while contacting their secretaries. They seized the time to urge the relevant staff to come up with a report.

They did not know when they would be able to encounter such high-tech materials again.

Therefore, no leader would complain that there was too much of it. If not for the fact that the environment on the blue planet had already become unsuitable for ordinary people to live in, they would have wanted to unload the people and equipment and arrange for all the transport forces to go.

“Then, is the spaceship carrying people from our countries still setting off as planned? Should we go to Mars first or wait here?”

Soon, the top leader of the Daxia Kingdom took advantage of the fact that the spiritual figure representing Chen Yiming had yet to leave to ask about the situation of the humans facing the black tide.

The leaders of the various countries fell silent on the spot. Everyone was also very concerned about this.

If there was still time, humans might as well make more preparations. Once they left the blue planet, there would be many restrictions.

The spiritual figure said without hesitation, “I stole something valuable in that world, and it caused a greater commotion than all the previous incidents combined.”

When the leaders of the various countries heard this, their expressions froze.

They had to make the best use of their time and escape. It was not difficult to tell from this that the humans might still be hunted down.

Soon, orders were passed down from the heads of the various countries.

Hundreds of thousands of related staff quickly took action and did their jobs.

…

In the empty universe,

one person was fleeing and three people were chasing after him. This scene appeared in the galaxy consisting of the five inhabited worlds.

“Kid, don’t run if you have the guts.”

One exasperated voice after another sounded in Chen Yiming’s ears.

He could not be bothered to pay attention to them. Instead, he kept trying to figure out the spatial abilities of the black-cloaked man, the old man in the long robe, and the beautiful woman in formal dress using his super perception.

The spatial abilities of the other three were much simpler and weaker than his. Otherwise, he would have been easily captured and would have died long ago.

This was especially true for the old man in the long robe. He seemed to be the strongest of the three blue-skinned humans, and it was unknown what his true level was.

With a casual strike, an asteroid turned to dust on the spot.

“This kid’s space-travel ability is very strange. He’s clearly just a weak ant at the fusion realm, but the distance he can cover with one space-jump is much further than any of us.”

“It’s fine if the distance is abnormal, but it doesn’t seem like there’s a need to consider the environment around the spatial distortion. He can enter and leave as he pleases.”

The black-cloaked man cursed under his breath after his punch had failed.

Not far away, a sword cut through the air.

The figure of the old man in the long robe walked out of the spatial distortion, and the spatial cracks behind him quickly filled in again.

“We can’t be sure if he came from the central galaxy for the time being, but it’s definitely a lie that he came from a desert planet. He should be a young genius who was assigned to train outside.”

“Otherwise, it’s impossible to cultivate all aspects to perfection and lay the foundation for reaching the limit of each realm.”

As the old man chased after him, he could tell from Chen Yiming’s overflowing blood essence and resistance to spiritual will that he couldn’t have obtained it through the original cultivation methods.

In order to have such achievements in the fusion realm, one had to have many factors such as talent, opportunity, background, and so on.
