It paused, its branches gently brushing against the Dao Fruits: "These three thousand six hundred Dao Fruits will be scattered throughout the entire universe. If even one person can use them to prove the Dao of eternity and become a Quasi-Emperor or Great Emperor, then my death will have been worthwhile."
The moment the words left his mouth, Chen Xuan clearly saw several cracks quietly spreading across the trunk of the treasure tree, and the originally dense chaotic aura dimmed somewhat. Yet it still stubbornly held on, preventing the Dao fruits on its branches from falling and dissipating.
At the same time, the brilliant stars in the sky began to fade, and endless black mist surged in like a tide, engulfing this fairyland.
"Little one, this parting today may be the last time we meet." The voice of the Chaos Tree grew softer and softer, and a thick branch slowly swayed out. "Take care of yourself."
Chen Xuan felt a blur before his eyes, as if his consciousness was being pulled away by a force.
When he opened his eyes again, he was back in the dark chaos where he had first meditated. Before him was only an endless thick fog, and the precious tree that blocked out the sky was no longer there.
"Senior!" He instinctively stood up and called out, his voice echoing in the darkness, but only met with deathly silence.
At that moment, an ancient-looking storage ring suddenly flew out of the black mist and hovered in front of him.
Chen Xuan grabbed it, and the moment his divine sense probed into it, his eyes welled up with tears again—in the still space of the ring, thirty-two Chaos Dao Fruits floated quietly, each one shimmering with a soft halo, proof of his encounter with his senior.
"Senior, please take care." Chen Xuan bowed deeply to the endless darkness, his voice hoarse. "With the selfless dedication of predecessors like you, the alien realm will never be able to occupy our starry universe."
He took a deep breath, suppressed his turbulent emotions, and turned to rush towards the small tower and the immortal abode.
This trip to the core of chaos felt like a dream. Only after he returned to the outside of the immortal abode did he learn from the little tower that two years had passed in the outside world.
"In the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, two years have passed..." Chen Xuan murmured, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
Seeing his somber expression, Xiaota assumed he had failed to obtain the Dao Fruit and quickly comforted him, "It's alright, it doesn't matter if you didn't get the Dao Fruit. The Chaos Crystals you collected are enough to condense countless strands of Chaos Immortal Qi."
Chen Xuan didn't say anything, but simply tossed the storage ring over.
The little tower swept its divine sense across the tower, and the tower body suddenly trembled. The blue-and-white runes flashed wildly, and the voice changed tone: "You... how did you get so many Chaos Dao Fruits?!" It originally thought that Chen Xuan would be lucky to get one or two, but it did not expect that there were thirty-two.
"What a stroke of luck! In the ancient times, even the most outstanding geniuses of the Chaos Clan would fight tooth and nail for a single Dao Fruit!" The little tower excitedly circled around Chen Xuan. "Kid, you've struck it rich! Once you achieve Immortal King and God King status for the first time, refine ten Dao Fruits, and combine them with my master's secret technique, you'll be able to master a wisp of the Chaos Heavenly Dao power!"
"The power of the Chaos Heavenly Dao?" Chen Xuan finally came to his senses.
"Of course!" the little tower said proudly. "Of the Ten Heavenly Daos, Chaos is the most supreme. Ordinary cultivators need to merge with the Dao twice and reach the Eternal Supreme Realm before they can barely comprehend it. But you, with just these Dao Fruits, have actually ascended to the heavens in one step, touching the Chaos Heavenly Dao at the Immortal King Realm!"
It paused, its tone growing increasingly excited, "At that time, even the Dao Lord of Life and Death and the Eternal Immortal Emperor will have to be wary of you!"
Upon hearing this, a faint smile finally appeared on Chen Xuan's lips. He turned to look at the endless darkness and silently prayed in his heart: Senior, if one day I attain the Dao of the Great Emperor, I will never forget your kindness today and will protect this starry sky.
The trip yielded far more than expected, and although he felt heavy-hearted, it strengthened his resolve to achieve his future goals.
Why is he now cultivating so desperately?
It is to protect the tribe and make it prosperous; it is to walk hand in hand with your beloved Daoist partner and see the splendor of the stars and the sea.
But if foreign lands invade, under a collapsed nest, how can any egg remain intact?
These beautiful visions all require a stable universe to support them. And this stability requires generations of exceptionally talented descendants of all races to protect them with their blood and flesh.
