36: A sub-evolutionary branch of the World Tree is destroyed once again, a fleeting glimmer of hope!

At the same moment,

in the Giant Tree Forest World,

the main battlefield—

was filled with smoke and fire, with cracks spreading out like a spiderweb, forming terrifying great rifts!

Creatures, like locusts, were slaughtering each other, blood splattering everywhere!

Among the Zombie Legion,

the Tyrant Lord, like a giant from ancient myths, surveyed the battlefield, roaring as he uprooted a towering giant tree and brought it crashing down repeatedly onto the Giant Tree faction's camp!

At the same time,

the Bloodthirsty Giant Beast converged into a deathly torrent, stirring up dust. Any creature caught within it, regardless of friend or foe, was reduced to a pile of minced meat!

Buried in the loess.

The war… had reached a fever pitch.

Even though the Holy Armored King Beetle was Silver Rank, facing the encirclement of two powerful beings of the same tier, it struggled to resist. Its injuries gradually worsened, its life light dimmed, and it was on the verge of perishing!

But just at this moment,

Boom—

Starlight rippled through the universe, a green life barrier, the core of the Giant Tree Forest World,

Within it,

a creature that had been dormant for decades awakened from its slumber. Simultaneously, emerald-green vines swept across the heavens and earth, and a majestic aura of life erupted with immense force!

Bang—

In just an instant,

the Zombie Legion was annihilated, the Special Xenomorphs were annihilated, the Holy Terra Sect… was annihilated!

The Two-Winged Seraph and the Queen of Blades, in their terror, were also swept away by this terrifying energy, turning into dust!

Only Alice,

at the last moment, did not forget to seek intelligence.

She saw,

within a jade-green light of life, amidst the dense branches and leaves of the tree of life, vaguely… figures continuously emerging from within!

Alice's pupils suddenly contracted.

The next moment,

the energy torrent swept over, and Alice died!

… [Gold-tier Creature 'tree of life' awakens, unleashing powerful energy. Origin Realm completely annihilated!]

[This combat simulator has ended!]

[Do you want to enable backtracking?]

“Backtrack to the final battle phase before the tree of life awakened!”

Su Bai made a decisive choice.

The next moment,

in the Giant Tree Forest World, time flowed backward again, and the deceased Origin Realm creatures were fully revived.

Su Bai stopped pretending.

He laid his cards on the table!

He wasn't going to play an offensive-defensive war; he was going to cheat! If once wasn't enough, then twice, if twice wasn't enough, then thrice… stacking it again and again,

After countless backtracks, there would surely be a time when he could defeat the tree of life!

In other words,

he was going to use a cheat… [Backtracking again! Time node: Eve of the tree of life's awakening.]

[The overwhelming Origin Realm creatures return once more, conquering territories. The Giant Tree faction is suppressed, especially the Holy Armored King Beetle, who discovers with horror that no matter how he attacks, the opponent seems to know everything in advance.]

[The Giant Tree faction's strategic deployment is seen through, and the Origin Realm creatures, at their full strength, easily break through the natives' defenses.]

[The Holy Armored King Beetle roars, blocked by the combined efforts of the Two-Winged Seraph and the Queen of Blades.]

[Below, Alice leads the Holy Terra Sect's charge, with tens of thousands of Zombie Legion members escorting them. A large number of lives perish every moment.]

“Faster! Even faster!”

Alice roared in her heart. She retained memories from the previous combat simulator, and she had observed more carefully than others. At the final moment, that mysterious giant tree seemed to be nurturing creatures!

She absolutely couldn't let it succeed; she had to destroy it before the tree of life awakened!

Rumble… Psionic energy surged. After suffering heavy losses, the Holy Terra Sect finally reached the life barrier. Looking up at the sky, a towering giant tree stood majestically within!

At the same time.

As if sensing the impending crisis, the tree of life also began to awaken…

“From awakening to launching an attack, there's a three-second gap!”

“And this…”

Su Bai's eyes gleamed with fire, “is the decisive moment!”

With that said,

he unhesitatingly crushed the Psionic Resonance Device. If not now, when? He had to annihilate the tree of life!

A Gold-tier life form,

and the terrifying energy torrent that erupted in the previous simulation,

finally made Su Bai understand.

No wonder no one could pass.

Typically, the strongest creatures in a Tier 2 world are only Silver Rank.

Yet this Giant Tree World,

actually concealed a Gold Rank life form!

Coupled with the special racial characteristics of the tree of life… Su Bai's eyes were profound, and for the first time, he felt it was tricky, “The tree of life belongs to a subordinate evolutionary branch of the World Tree, possessing mythical bloodline, and even a slight possibility of evolving into a World Tree!”

“Even among mythical bloodlines, it can be considered quite special!”

World Tree!

What kind of concept was that?

It was a treasure capable of suppressing an entire world!

Once a World Tree suppressed a world, the entire world's luck, spiritual energy, resources… would all receive a doubled increase,

and give rise to numerous powerful transcendent races!

In other words,

a World Tree, besides suppressing a world, was also an unimaginable transcendent gene pool!

“Although the tree of life is not as good as the World Tree, it must have inherited some of its abilities.”

“It absolutely cannot be allowed to awaken!”

Su Bai clenched his hand, staring intently at the simulator in front of him!

… [Sacred Terra recognized Alice's courage and crushed the Psionic Resonance Device. In an instant, the members of the Holy Terra Sect seemed to be connected, entering a peculiar state.]

[Psionic energy began to resonate, and vast psionic power surged into Alice's body, pushing her life level to continuously ascend!]

[Bronze intermediate, Bronze peak… Silver Rank!]

[With a crack, Alice succeeded, but the next moment, a mysterious light of life swept over, Alice's genetic lock shattered, and her Silver Rank began to waver precariously!]

“Destroy the genetic lock?!!!”

Su Bai stood up abruptly, his face filled with surprise. He hadn't expected such a method.

Could this be the tree of life's ability?

Damn it!

Regret surged in Su Bai's heart. If he had known earlier, he definitely wouldn't have let Alice evolve at such close range.

But what's done is done; everything could only depend on subsequent developments.

However,

while Su Bai regretted, he also breathed a sigh of relief. At least this combat simulator had revealed a piece of intelligence.

Destroying the genetic lock, huh?

Su Bai's eyes were solemn, “The next backtrack must avoid this point.”

“As for now…”

Su Bai's gaze swept towards the simulator,

where simulation information was continuously updating, line after line of text leaping out:

[Alice noticed the changes in her body, her expression shifting, but seeing the life barrier so close, she was unwilling to give up.]

[She simply abandoned everything and began to actively detonate herself!]

[Powerful psionic fluctuations spread, with a destructive force comparable to a nuclear explosion. With a loud 'bang', a massive mushroom cloud rose, and a vast cloud of dust permeated the area!]

[Almost everyone nervously awaited this moment.]

[However… when the dust settled, the Two-Winged Seraph and the Queen of Blades both turned pale, their faces ashen. The life barrier was completely unharmed!]

[Not only that.]

[The next second, the tree of life finally awakened, letting out a roar. A massive energy wave swept across the heavens and earth, and in an instant, all living beings were annihilated!]

[The Origin Realm was caught in the energy torrent and was about to completely collapse!]

[A brief glimmer of light appeared, then quickly extinguished. The Origin Realm could not resist and was utterly destroyed!]

[This combat simulator has ended.]
