Evolution From the Big Tree

*Booooooom…* With a deafening roar, a mushroom cloud rose in the distant sky, resembling a nuclear explosion.

However, this mushroom cloud, spanning tens of thousands of meters, was interwoven with countless streaks of black lightning and dazzling starlight scattered across the sky.

The two forces intertwined, distorting even Space itself.

“You actually managed to take on one of my strikes?” With a somewhat serious tone, Thunderclap Titan narrowed his gaze at the golden figure gradually emerging from the depths of the mushroom cloud, clad in golden armor with a golden crown atop his head.

Though he possessed the face of a Monkey, there was an unexpected charm to him. He appeared quite handsome.

At this moment, this golden figure, with streaking lightning and dazzling glow in the backdrop, and its golden fur fluttering, slowly withdrew his right hand.

“This is a one-time warning. If there is a next time, should you dare to harm someone from the Demon Court before my eyes, don’t blame me for declaring war…” His voice was faint, yet it carried a trace of killing intent that sent chills down people’s spines.

Sensing the tense atmosphere, Cloud Titan’s lips curled into a smile as he remarked, “What’s with this tension? Aren’t we here for a trade…? Like you said—goods for people, one in exchange for the other…”

With that, Cloud Titan clapped his hands.

*Clap, clap…* Following his signal, other members of the Titan Clan seemed to understand and stepped forward immediately.

Each one placed the large bundles they had been carrying down.

The members of the Divine Titan Clan were all gigantic. The sight of dozens of Titans, nearly 10,000 meters tall, stepping forward was quite a spectacular sight.

Each of them resembled a mountain piercing Heaven.

Thus, one could only imagine the size of the bundles they carried.

“Open them and let them see…”

“Yes, Supreme…”

With this response, dozens of bundles were opened, revealing treasures that dazzled the eye.

For instance, Divine Metal gleaming with starlike luster—Star Iron.

The Divine Titan Clan had measured such Divine Metal by the ton.

Glancing at the enormous Star Iron Ore floating high in the sky, nearly a hundred meters in length, width, and height, Yu Zi Yu could not help but narrow his eyes, a shadow of smile tugging at the corners of his lips.

[Impressive, truly impressive. Only top-tier Forces could offer something worth extorting…] He exchanged a glance with the Demon Master—Golden Monkey.

Nothing was spoken, but everything was understood.

Just then, Golden Monkey, seemingly noticing something, conveyed a message to Yu Zi Yu via Psychic Sense, “Lord Star God, I’ve found something valuable… if I’m not mistaken, it’s the very Divine Tree Seed our Master desires most…”

“Oh?” At this, Yu Zi Yu’s gaze followed the direction Golden Monkey indicated.

In one corner, there was a pile of seeds.

One particular seed among them stood out the most—a completely crimson seed with occasional bursts of golden flames.

Narrowing his eyes, Yu Zi Yu examined it closely.

Seed of the Primordial Phoenix Tree — A seed carrying a trace of the Bloodline of the Divine Tree, Primordial Phoenix Tree…

The Primordial Phoenix Tree was no ordinary Phoenix Tree (Chinese Parasol Tree) from the old era.

It was a type of Divine Tree.

Like the Fusang Tree, it was a Primordial Spirit Tree, a sacred treasure—the Phoenix’s Supreme Treasure. The Phoenix was a Sacred Spirit like Yu Zi Yu’s Azure Dragon. It was aloof, and dwelled only in places of treasure.

It drank only pure springs and perched only on Chinese Parasol Trees. Thus, one could imagine the value of Primordial Phoenix Tree.

Yet, despite its value, a mere seed was of limited use.

[No wonder the Titan Clan is willing to part with this seed—turns out it’s a seed of the Divine Tree, the Primordial Phoenix Tree…] Amidst contemplation, Yu Zi Yu realized everything.

After all, without the care and nurture of the Sacred Phoenix, this seed could never truly sprout.

This was because the Primordial Phoenix Tree and the Sacred Phoenix were symbiotic.

According to the myths and legends, every 10,000 years, a Phoenix underwent nirvana, growing stronger with each rebirth. The fire of nirvana could incinerate all things, yet it was harmless to their Phoenix Tree. In fact, each time the Phoenix went through nirvana on their Phoenix Tree, the Phoenix Tree became stronger.

[It’s truly unfortunate. Without a Phoenix’s Nirvana Fire, even I have no way to make it sprout…] With a bitter laugh, Yu Zi Yu had to admit that he lacked the means to bring this seed to life.

After all, the conditions for the seed of the Primordial Phoenix Tree to sprout were extremely demanding.

However, at that moment, as if struck by an idea, Yu Zi Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly.

[Let’s give this seed to Demonic Phoenix. If she can cultivate the most sacred Nirvana Fire through it, that would be quite the gain…] As he considered this, a glint of excitement flashed in Yu Zi Yu’s eyes, gazing at the seed enveloped in golden flames.

The Nirvana Fire was the pinnacle of flames. It was also known as the ‘Flame of Immortality.’

If Demon Phoenix could master this flame, her potential would be unimaginable…

Thus, this Phoenix Tree seed now had a fitting destination.

While Yu Zi Yu examined the many treasures, Cloud Titan spoke up, his voice deep, “The goods you wanted are here. Where is Mountain Titan?”

“He’s here…” With a smile, Yu Zi Yu waved his right hand.

In a flash, ripples in space spread as a massive Space Pocket opened up. And deep within that space, the figure of Mountain Titan gradually appeared.

He still had his familiar, towering build. However, his face was now laced with weariness, and his once black hair was nowhere to be found.

Now, only his bald head gleamed radiantly.

And at that moment, sensing many scrutinizing gazes, Mountain Titan grinned and greeted everyone, “It’s been a while, everyone…”

“It has indeed been a while…” Seeing the seemingly unharmed Mountain Titan, Thunderclap Titan and Cloud Titan both sighed in relief…

However, some complaints were inevitable, for the entire Divine Titan Clan had lost face because of Mountain Titan alone.

More importantly, they had to sacrifice so many treasures to get him back.

Even Cloud Titan and Thunderclap Titan, as Supremes of their Clan, felt a pang of regret at the sight of these treasures.
