Creating Heavenly Laws

Deep within the Black Mist Mountains.

Here, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth boils, and terrifying spatial rifts appear one after another, only to quickly heal under the recovery of the void itself.

If it weren't for this being Lin Yuan's stronghold built over a hundred years, stabilized by special means, the void within tens of thousands of miles would likely have been shattered.

After all, the battle just now was too terrifying. In order to not give the Ancestral Demon Tree a chance, Lin Yuan didn't hold back at all.

All the reserves and trump cards were thrown at the Ancestral Demon Tree without hesitation.

Moreover, Lin Yuan had no intention of conserving anything.

"Ancestor? Are you still there, Ancestor?"

Lin Yuan asked in a low voice after swallowing the essence of the Ancestral Demon Tree's dispersal.

However, Lin Yuan received no response from the Ancestral Demon Tree.

Lin Yuan didn't show any surprise either. At the moment when the body of the Ancestral Demon Tree was torn apart, Lin Yuan sensed that the Ancestral Demon Tree's aura had dropped to freezing point.

Now, he couldn't sense the slightest trace of the Ancestral Demon Tree's aura.

As a subsidiary body of the Demon Tree, sensing the aura of the Ancestral Demon Tree was instinctual.

Even if separated by a great distance and numerous world barriers, at most it would be a vague sense.

But now, the Ancestral Demon Tree's aura, or rather, its life force, seemed to have completely disappeared.

It was obvious that the Ancestral Demon Tree had completely fallen.

"Is that it?"

Lin Yuan sighed, looking somewhat disappointed.

He had originally wanted to exchange a few moves with the Ancestral Demon Tree. He had instructed the Lord of the Azure Alliance not to hold back and to go all out.

But in reality, Lin Yuan's strongest trump card was still himself.

Deep within the Black Mist Mountains, benefiting from the characteristics of the Demon Tree, Lin Yuan could exert his greatest strength.

"Master, what should we do now?"

At this moment, the Lord of the Azure Alliance and many others approached respectfully, asking.

From the moment the Ancestral Demon Tree passed through the spatial channel, their attacks had not stopped.

They only stopped when Lin Yuan said "stop."

"You all go back."

Lin Yuan casually ordered.

With the complete death of the Ancestral Demon Tree, Lin Yuan began to face the next issue.

That was the other subsidiary Demon Trees.

First, he needed to understand the secrets of the Demon Trees, the extraterrestrial gods.

The Ancestral Demon Tree was the absolute ruler of countless Demon Trees. As long as it was alive, the other subsidiary Demon Trees would unquestionably obey its commands.

This was a form of mental and ideological imprisonment.

Secondly, there was physical imprisonment. With just a thought, the Ancestral Demon Tree could destroy any subsidiary Demon Tree.

Of course.

Lin Yuan was an exception.

He descended into a dying subsidiary Demon Tree through the Gateway of Myriad Realms with his consciousness.

Although he replaced the original subsidiary Demon Tree, he did not have the loyalty to the Ancestral Demon Tree like the others.

Whether it was mental and ideological imprisonment or physical imprisonment.

They only existed when the Ancestral Demon Tree was alive.

Once the Ancestral Demon Tree died, the mental and ideological imprisonment as well as physical imprisonment would disappear.

Countless Demon Trees would have a certain thought.

That is, to grow to the seventh rank and become the new Ancestral Demon Tree.

This is similar to the queen ant in an ant colony.

The death of the queen ant does not mean the collapse of the ant colony.

Instead, under the instinctual pull, a new queen ant is born.

Now Lin Yuan faced this problem.

He sensed, in the depths of countless distances, the other Demon Trees scattered.

These Demon Trees were left behind by the Ancestral Demon Tree as many backhands, either to help guard a treasure for the Ancestral Demon Tree or to discover a secret realm that needed suppression.

And now.

These Demon Trees, almost at the same time, sensed the death of the Ancestral Demon Tree.

"The Ancestor has died."

"The Ancestor was so powerful, how could it die?"

"The Ancestor has died, I want to become the new Ancestor!!!"

Freed from mental imprisonment, countless Demon Trees harbored ambitions.

At the same time, freed from physical imprisonment, many of the unique talents of the Ancestral Demon Tree also awakened in the subsidiary Demon Trees.

"All want to become the Ancestor?"

Lin Yuan's expression showed a hint of coldness.

Although he didn't care much about the Ancestral Demon Tree, after all, he had just killed a true Ancestral Demon Tree.

But Lin Yuan couldn't accept being picked by other Demon Trees.

"Let me become the Ancestral Demon Tree."

Lin Yuan didn't hesitate.

After all, this time the transmigration belonged to the descent of consciousness. Regardless of what he became in the world of the transmigration, he would return to his original state when he returned to the main world.

Lin Yuan also wanted to experience what it was like to become an extraterrestrial god.

The growth of the Demon Tree is divided into eight stages.

Although the Ancestral Demon Tree was said to be in the eighth stage, it hadn't completely crossed over.

Strictly speaking, the Ancestral Demon Tree was still in the seventh stage.

And under the premise of the complete death of the Ancestral Demon Tree, whichever Demon Tree first grew to the seventh stage would be able to become the new Ancestral Demon Tree.

The seventh stage was a kind of limit for the Demon Tree.

A Demon Tree at the seventh stage could gradually break free from mental and ideological imprisonment even if the Ancestral Demon Tree was still alive.

Therefore.

The Ancestral Demon Tree would never let a Demon Tree reach the seventh stage.

And once a Demon Tree at the seventh stage appeared, no matter how far apart, the Ancestral Demon Tree would immediately sense it.

Lin Yuan had already reached the peak of the sixth stage long before. The reason why he didn't advance to the seventh stage was because he was afraid of alerting the Ancestral Demon Tree.

But now.

There's no such restriction anymore.

Thanks to the suppression of the Ancestral Demon Tree.

Currently, apart from Lin Yuan, all other subsidiary Demon Trees have grown to at most the fifth stage.

To attempt to break through to the seventh stage in a short time is simply impossible, even with the 'unlocking' of many of the Ancestral Demon Tree's innate abilities.

So Lin Yuan felt no pressure at all.

After some brief preparation, Lin Yuan began to push for the seventh stage.

In fact, it's risky for a Demon Tree at the peak of the sixth stage to attempt to advance to the seventh stage.

Each stage of the Demon Tree represents a major transformation.

But for Lin Yuan, the risk was almost zero after devouring a large amount of essence from the previous Ancestral Demon Tree.

Combined with his Unrivaled Insight, if Lin Yuan still couldn't advance to the seventh stage, he might as well end the transmigration early and return to the main world.

Boom.

Ten days later.

Lin Yuan grew to the seventh stage as a Demon Tree.

The moment Lin Yuan crossed into this stage, a strange sensation swept over him.

Originally, Lin Yuan couldn't perceive the existence of other Demon Trees.

But the death of the Ancestral Demon Tree allowed Lin Yuan to slightly sense many distant Demon Trees.

However, it was only a slight sense, still based on a competitive relationship.

Similarly, other Demon Trees could also sense Lin Yuan's presence.

Before the birth of the new Ancestral Demon Tree, all Demon Trees were considered 'equal'.

But now, this 'slight sense' turned into complete control after advancing to the seventh stage.

Lin Yuan could forcibly contact all Demon Trees through some kind of innate 'authority'.

Whether the other party wanted it or not.

And Lin Yuan could also control the life and death of any Demon Tree.

In short.

Lin Yuan is now the Ancestral Demon Tree.

Just as Lin Yuan ascended to the seventh stage and became the new Ancestral Demon Tree, all Demon Trees received this information. At the same time, new mental and ideological imprisonment formed.

From then on, these Demon Trees treated Lin Yuan with absolute loyalty, and any ambitions and fantasies born from the death of the previous Ancestral Demon Tree disappeared.

This is the Demon Tree community.

As long as the Ancestral Demon Tree is alive, the entire community has only one will, that of the Ancestral Demon Tree.

"Greetings, Ancestor."

"Greetings, Ancestor."

"Greetings, Ancestor."

"Greetings, Ancestor."

Since Lin Yuan had just become the Ancestral Demon Tree, many 'authorities' had not yet been obtained, so many Demon Trees still retained the ability to actively contact the Ancestor.

And now, without exception, these Demon Trees offered their congratulations, without any other thoughts.

"Thank you, I understand."

Lin Yuan replied casually.

Compared to the cruelty and ferocity of the previous Ancestral Demon Tree, Lin Yuan considered himself quite kind.

"From now on, bring all the treasures and come to me."

Lin Yuan ordered all Demon Trees.

Why did the previous Ancestral Demon Tree leave subsidiary Demon Trees in many regions?

It's nothing more than finding certain treasures in corresponding places. Some extraterrestrial treasures and rare items couldn't be harvested in a short time, or they were still incubating, so the subsidiary Demon Trees were left to guard them first.

And now.

These rare treasures were all Lin Yuan's.

The Ancestral Demon Tree had indeed left him a huge inheritance.

"Yes, Ancestor."

"Ancestor, I'll come over now."

"Ancestor, my current location requires three hundred and twenty years to reach you."

Many Demon Trees began to report their situations. For ordinary life forms to cross into the extraterrestrial realm, the biggest problem is 'endurance,' or how to survive.

In the extraterrestrial void, there are no gentle energies like those in the world. It's not easy to survive in such harsh conditions.

However, Demon Trees have the ability of the 'Root of the Void.' Lin Yuan only needed to open this ability to all subsidiary Demon Trees.

After roughly addressing the issues of many Demon Trees, Lin Yuan's mind returned to himself once again.

"Ancestral Demon Tree, the extraterrestrial god. It feels very special?"

Lin Yuan's branches swayed. After advancing to the seventh stage and becoming the new Ancestral Demon Tree, Lin Yuan's body had already grown to tens of thousands of meters in size.

Even the entire Black Mist Mountains could be overlooked with a single glance.

And as time passed, Lin Yuan's body continued to grow rapidly. It could be foreseen that he would grow to the towering height of the previous Ancestral Demon Tree that spanned the extraterrestrial realm.

Lin Yuan tacitly agreed to this, without any suppression or concealment.

Because Lin Yuan no longer needed to hide. The entire Azure world was under his control.

What's there to hide?

"The essence of the Azure world."

Lin Yuan's gaze turned to the ground. The unique perception of the Ancestral Demon Tree allowed him to sense the vast waves of the world's essence.

Lin Yuan could not only sense the fluctuations of the world's essence but also had the ability to merge into the vast ocean of the world's essence.

At that time, the entire Azure world's essence would become a feast for Lin Yuan, to be consumed at will.

This is a unique ability belonging to the Ancestral Demon Tree, completely different from methods like the 'Root of the Void,' and only the Ancestral Demon Tree itself can wield it.

It's the 'uniqueness' ability within the entire Demon Tree community.

"No wonder the Ancestral Demon Tree is so eager to enter the interior of the Azure world, without worrying about being besieged by other strong beings."

Lin Yuan pondered with a thoughtful expression.

In theory, the Lord of the Azure Alliance wields the World Sword, capable of exerting power beyond the world's boundaries within the world.

If the Ancestral Demon Tree descends into the Azure world, it could easily be captured like a turtle in a jar, or like shooting fish in a barrel.

But the Ancestral Demon Tree still yearns to do so because it can merge into the vast ocean of the world's essence.

Even the Lord of the Azure Alliance cannot enter the ocean of the world's essence.

If the Ancestral Demon Tree enters, it is equivalent to standing in an invincible position and being able to freely devour the world's essence, rapidly becoming stronger.

As for the many consequences of devouring the world's essence, such as the decline of the Azure world or even its destruction.

That's not something the Ancestral Demon Tree needs to worry about.

"Now, as long as I'm willing, I can also merge into the ocean of the world's essence and easily devour the entire essence of the Azure world."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Even at this moment, the instinct from the Ancestral Demon Tree was urging Lin Yuan to do so.

"Unfortunately, I am not the Ancestral Demon Tree."

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.

For Lin Yuan, he's just a passing traveler in this world. When his time is up, he will leave without taking anything with him.

Devouring the essence of the Azure world could indeed enhance the Ancestral Demon Tree's foundation and even push it towards the eighth stage.

But what does that have to do with Lin Yuan?

Unless Lin Yuan is willing to pay a huge price to bring the Ancestral Demon Tree back to the main world, otherwise, no matter how strong the Ancestral Demon Tree becomes, it won't affect him much.

In Lin Yuan's mind, maintaining the stability of the Azure world and enabling it to spread the path of martial evolution is the choice that maximizes his interests.

At least it can provide assistance for Lin Yuan's future 'ultimate leap.'

"Even if the entire essence of the Azure world is devoured, the Ancestral Demon Tree still cannot reach the eighth stage. The eighth stage is the end of the road in the legend of the Demon Tree community."

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. The Ancestral Demon Tree's cultivation system relies on exploring its own potential.

Even if it truly reaches the eighth stage, it won't provide much assistance to him.

So, from beginning to end, Lin Yuan never considered devouring the essence of the Azure world because it would be detrimental without any benefit to him.

"Let's continue cultivating."

After pondering for a while, Lin Yuan resumed his enlightenment.

After becoming the Ancestral Demon Tree, Lin Yuan also mastered many means that only the Ancestral Demon Tree possesses, all of which can be considered to be integrated into the path of martial evolution.

Making the path of martial evolution more perfect and adaptable to more harsh environments.

And so.

Time passed swiftly.

In the blink of an eye, it was three hundred years later.
