The Ancient Tree of Life stood in the very center of the Heavenly Tomb, as if it was the core of this newborn little world. Its huge crown covered the sky, and the rich energy of heaven and earth gathered to form clouds with flowing rosy clouds, which was extremely gorgeous and magical.

Yao Yan stood in the void, looking at the Ancient Tree of Life in front of him. Perhaps it was because this Ancient Tree of Life had transformed with him, now he could clearly feel everything about it, and even control it... In his perception, the roots of the Ancient Tree of Life had spread deep into the ground. Those roots were extremely unique, as if they could connect to the endless void, absorbing the energy in it and feeding back to this world, allowing the energy of this world to slowly increase. At the same time, the space was also continuously increasing, evolving into a real world.

However, at this speed, it might take millions of years before it could become a complete world.

However, Yao Yan was not concerned about these things. What he cared about was the fusion of the Ancient Tree of Life and the Heavenly Tomb. It seemed to be devouring the rules of the Heavenly Tomb and truly merging with this world, including the power of rules left by the former Dou Emperor, which now seemed to have become the nourishment for its growth.

This strange process of change made Yao Yan suspect that the Ancient Tree of Life had mutated. After all, this seedling had transformed along with it and might have been contaminated with some special properties.

However, since the Ancient Tree of Life could devour the power of rules left behind by a Dou Emperor, its level might be much higher than Yao Yan thought.

"Can the Ancient Tree of Life devour the remaining small worlds?" Yao Yan looked at Lingxi beside him and asked, because at this moment he thought of another evolutionary route of the Ancient Tree of Life. Compared to growing slowly, devouring the remaining complete small worlds would undoubtedly be much faster. It would devour the remaining small worlds as nutrients and promote the evolution of this world to a higher level.

In theory, the world and the individual are connected, the only difference is that one evolves with the whole world, while the other respects the individual.

“I haven’t tried it… the ancient Tree of Life in the past didn’t have such strong aggressiveness!” Lingxi frowned, looking at the sacred ancient Tree of Life sapling in front of her. She could clearly feel the difference between it and the ancient Tree of Life in the past.

"We'll know when we get a chance to try it." Upon hearing this, Yao Yan whispered softly, and he had a little more expectations for the Ancient Tree of Life. Originally, he just wanted to build a back garden for himself, but now that he knew the potential of the Ancient Tree of Life, he had some other ideas in his mind.

It is obviously more in the individual's interest to create a world of his own than to have a conscious world.

Lingxi's beautiful eyes flickered as she looked at Yaoyan. After a moment's hesitation, she slowly said, "Who will be the next target of the Soul Clan?"

Now that the Soul Clan has already destroyed the Spirit Clan, they will certainly not stop. In this world, except for the Ancient Clan, the Flame Clan, and the Thunder Clan who can compete with them, the other clans will be crushed by the Soul Clan in a one-on-one fight, and may even be like the Spirit Clan, unable to even release any news.

Who could have thought that Void Devouring Flame's strength would actually climb to the level of a nine-star Douluo. Together with Emperor Hun Tian... the two nine-star Douluo were enough to change the landscape of the entire Douluo Continent.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Shi clan has now been destroyed." Yao Yan said calmly.

He did not participate in the Soul Clan's destruction of the Stone Clan. After all, with his accumulation, he no longer needed to continue plundering resources for cultivation. To him, the importance of the ancient Bodhi tree surpassed everything else. Today's harvest undoubtedly proved his idea.

Although this transformation cost him the ninth-grade Xuandan given to him by Gu Yuan and the remains of the ancient tree of life, the gains were undoubtedly worth it.

Even if he had to do it again, he would not regret his choice.

Lingxi's beautiful eyes were blank for a moment, and then she fell silent. The Imperial Clan, which once stood at the top of the Douqi Continent, has now disappeared like this. A few years ago, who could have imagined that this scene would appear? Everyone tacitly believed that the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan would continue to fight, and all clans would remain neutral, thus maintaining the order of the entire Douqi Continent.

But reality gave her a heavy slap in the face, and the price almost suffocated her.

The Soul Clan didn't even mobilize their army, but only sent out Void Devouring Flame and Yao Yan, and they wiped out the entire Spirit Clan, just like crushing an ant... If she hadn't accidentally combined with Yao Yan, she would have no chance of escaping.

After a while.

Lingxi then asked, "What exactly does the Soul Clan want to do? All the clans have agreed to cooperate and are willing to open Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Cave Mansion together. Why does the Soul Clan still want to do this..."

“Emperor Hun Tian can’t wait any longer… He has waited for a thousand years, how could he give the opportunity to break through to become a Dou Emperor to others? Even I am just a chess piece in his eyes. Only you people from the imperial clan will believe his words.” Yao Yan said slowly.

After a pause,
He looked at Lingxi's sad eyes and continued, "Born in adversity, die in comfort. Your Imperial Clan has been in comfort for too long and has lost your sense of crisis... When the Soul Clan destroyed the Xiao Clan, you should have been alert."

“Who would have thought that after the Soul Clan destroyed the Xiao Clan, they would be able to recover so quickly… Back then, the Soul Clan suffered heavy losses in their attempt to destroy the Xiao Clan, and all four great elders of the clan died.” Lingxi sighed and spoke slowly.

The Soul Clan did not sink because of the war with the Xiao Clan, but instead rose again. This was probably something that all the Imperial Clan had not expected.

"Those four elders are not completely dead." Yao Yan threw out the truth lightly.

"?!" Lingxi was stunned, and then looked at Yaoyan in disbelief, "How could it be? The four elders were killed by Xiao Xuan back then, but all the clans saw it. Even their souls were almost wiped out, there is no way they could have survived!"

"So you deserve to be killed." Yao Yan did not continue to explain, but just stated a fact.

He has always believed in one thing: strength is the basis of status, and you should never rely on the kindness and goodness of others for your safety. No one in this world is obligated to treat you well, let alone between the two imperial clans. Especially when you hold something that you shouldn't have, the other party's eyes will naturally be on you.

Lingxi was speechless for a moment and couldn't utter a single word.

Yao Yan did not continue this topic. He floated to the Ancient Tree of Life, stroked its trunk, and felt the fusion of the Ancient Tree of Life and the Heavenly Tomb. It was indeed devouring the time rules of this world. Perhaps in the near future, it would be able to completely control this rule.

In addition, the ability of the Heavenly Tomb to nurture the soul imprint seemed to have been inherited by the Ancient Tree of Life. Even because of the special nature of the Ancient Tree of Life, if the life imprint were to be resurrected again, perhaps a corresponding body could be born.

"It is quite consistent with the construction of the underworld..." Yao Yan thought to himself, and then took out a black seal engraved with "Nine Nether Yama, in charge of the six paths", which already stored many soul imprints from the Heavenly Tomb. He sent them into the Ancient Tree of Life for nurturing, hoping that these soul imprints would be 'reborn' and transformed into 'ghost soldiers'.

"You should continue to stay here and practice for a while. As for the outside world... with your identity, it is not suitable for you to go out." Yao Yan gave instructions and then left. He planned to reminisce with the Cai Lin sisters and teach them some secret techniques of the spirit race.

With their current strength, if they want to continue to advance quickly, they must have a ninth-grade Xuandan... However, compared to the ninth-grade Xuandan, Yao Yan feels that her human-shaped pill is better.

In the next half month, Yao Yan showed his good character of being a good teacher, and guided Cai Lin and Cai Die on their cultivation in bed and in the pool. Although Cai Lin resisted occasionally, she could not withstand his beating.

……

This day.

Yao Yan put his arm around Cai Lin's slender waist and explained to her the situation outside. Many things that could not be told before could now be told to Cai Lin, including the Tushe Ancient Emperor's cave and the Soul Clan's plan.

Cai Lin's cold eyes changed from indifferent at first to solemn later, until she looked at Yao Yan worriedly, and opened her red lips slightly: "Are you sure?"

"Of course. Even if I fail in the end, my life can be guaranteed to be safe." Yao Yan stroked Cai Lin's soft long hair and comforted her softly. He did not tell Cai Die these things, because with Cai Die's personality, knowing these things would only add to her troubles. After all, even Cai Lin showed worry.

"The Soul Clan leader is a powerful warrior at the peak of the Nine-Star Douluo..." Cai Lin held Yao Yan's hand tightly and said in a deep voice. Yao Yan has only been practicing for a short time, and even if he has an incredible talent, it is impossible for him to catch up in just a few years.

“The patriarch of the Ancient Clan is also a powerful man at the peak of the Nine-Star Fighting Saint level, and he is now my father-in-law. Naturally, he will deal with Emperor Hun Tian, ​​and I can deal with Void Devouring Flame... With my current strength, it will not be difficult to deal with him.” Yao Yan chuckled, and he was obviously quite confident about this.

Yao Yan is definitely no match for Emperor Hun Tian, ​​but it is different for the Void Devouring Flame, which is a strange fire. His many methods have no effect on him. If possible, he even wants to swallow the Void Devouring Flame!
Cai Lin already knew about Yao Yan's marriages with various clans, but she did not blame Yao Yan for this matter. After all, these things were planned by Emperor Hun Tian and had nothing to do with Yao Yan.

When it comes to passing the buck, Yaoyan is undoubtedly professional.

Emperor Hun Tian: ...

"Will the chief of the ancient clan really stand on your side?" Cai Lin was a little skeptical. He was just a son-in-law. Facing the temptation of Emperor Cheng, she didn't believe that the chief of the ancient clan could endure it. Even if they cooperated, Yao Yan was just a tool used by the other party. Without the strength to match him, he had no right to talk on an equal footing.

"So... I will introduce a third party!" Yao Yan's eyes flickered and he said in a firm voice.

It doesn't matter whether Gu Yuan will succeed or not. He only needs to reach a cooperation with Zi Yan's father, and then he will have the absolute initiative in the final battle, or even an overwhelming advantage... But before that, he still needs the help of Emperor Hun Tian to successfully refine the Emperor Pill!

Emperor Hun Tian does all the bad things, and I just need to be... a good person?
……

……

Endless void, the Taixu ancient dragon clan.

Ever since the three dragon kings were slaughtered, the once divided Dragon Island has been reunited. It makes no sense for the strong men of the major Dragon Islands to do this. Even though they were once loyal to the major dragon kings, all the dragon kings have been slaughtered, which means there is no leader left. It is obviously meaningless to continue to split up at this time.

As the major dragon islands returned one after another, the area of ​​East Dragon Island expanded more than ten times. At the same time, the number of strong people in the clan soared, and the number of Fighting Saints alone reached double digits.

And because Zi Yan already possessed the blood of the Dragon Emperor, and now had transformed into the Supreme Dragon Phoenix, Zhu Li discussed with several elders and began to use the unique methods of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan to summon the strong members of the clan back to the endless void.

Because of a split within the clan, many of the most powerful members of the Taixu Ancient Dragon clan went to the Endless Void one after another. Out of sight, out of mind… If not for this, how could the Taixu Ancient Dragon clan be inferior to the Sky Demon Phoenix clan.

Zi Yan sat on the throne. The little girl she once was had disappeared, and now she had grown into a stunningly beautiful mature woman. She wore a purple-gold dress with dragon and phoenix patterns on it. Her purple eyes and hair had turned into purple-gold. Her long hair fell to her hips. She had a slender body, a noble and cold temperament, and looked coldly at the group of chattering old men in front of her.

She knocked lightly on the throne, and the subtle sound instantly silenced the hall. The elders with extremely high status in the clan all looked at Zi Yan respectfully. Whether in terms of bloodline or strength, Zi Yan was now the undisputed number one... After all, the old guys who had gone far away into the void had not returned yet, and no one knew how long it would take for them to come back.

"Stop arguing. I've decided to return to Zhongzhou and unify the Beast Territory." Zi Yan's demeanor was very similar to Cai Lin's. Her voice was mature and calm like a queen. With a hint of Dragon Phoenix's oppression, she said slowly, "Who's in favor, who's against?"

“But if this happens, the major imperial clans may not agree, and it may cause some disputes!” The second elder of Donglong Island said hesitantly.

"My eldest brother is the young patriarch of the Soul Clan. I will discuss this matter with him... If the major imperial clans still have objections, we can just have a fight. The Beast Domain was originally our clan's territory ten thousand years ago. Now we are just taking it back. Why bother asking them!" Zi Yan snorted coldly, her expression becoming more ferocious, and she said in a deep voice.

As for her heart...she just wanted to return to Zhongzhou and see her eldest brother. Compared to the prosperous Zhongzhou, life in the Endless Void was too boring. Facing these old men all day long was annoyance.

If she had known that finding the tribe would be so troublesome and that she would have to bear the responsibility, she would have stayed with her eldest brother, eating and drinking happily all day long, instead of being like this now.

I'm so annoyed.

At this moment, a purple-gold halo suddenly bloomed in her eyes, and her slender body suddenly stood up. Her graceful figure was quickly covered with a layer of armor. At the same time, a long sword appeared in her palm, pointing at the void, and she said, "Who is it? Come out!"

All the elders of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan present were stunned, and then they saw two figures walking out from the direction where Zi Yan's sword was pointing.

The man was extremely handsome, without any aura of a strong man, but his mere appearance caused the energy of this world to pause, as if affected by him and turned quiet. Standing next to him was a beautiful, enchanting and cold woman with an extremely beautiful and proud figure that made people's hearts warm.

"It's been many years since we last met. The little girl has grown up."

A brisk voice rang out in the hall, and at the same time, the coldness in Zi Yan's eyes faded away like a tide...

PS: Also, I will give more chapters to the leader... Thank you for the reward (End of this chapter)
