367: Chapter 367 Dead Men Tell No Tales?

A moment later.

"Are you saying that this seed in your hand is the heavenly god tree?"

Yan Feng looked at the seed in Lin Yang's hand and asked, still finding it somewhat hard to believe.

Beside him, Shen Youchu's beautiful eyes also revealed a look of wonder as she gazed at the tree seed.

They truly couldn't believe that such a massive, world-shaking ancient tree had turned into a single seed in Lin Yang's hand in the blink of an eye.

Behind them were the bound Qin Wuliang and Hua Wuyan.

"How is it possible... How could he be a match for the heavenly god tree?"

At this moment, the two of them were also dazed, not understanding what had just happened.

When they regained their senses, they only saw that the Heavenly God Demon Tree had vanished, and Lin Yang had taken the opportunity to suppress both of them.

"Although only a seed remains, I've finally succeeded in subduing it. Afterwards, I just need to spend some resources to nurture it well. It should only be a matter of time before it grows back into a new heavenly god tree," Lin Yang said.

"I'm afraid... it will take more than just 'some'."

Yan Feng's eyelids twitched slightly; he remembered how ferocious the Heavenly God Demon Tree he saw earlier was.

Setting aside how much time it would take to return to that Realm, the resources that would need to be invested were absolutely massive.

He feared that any single Heaven would find it extremely difficult to support it.

"If the Nine Heavens pool their resources, it should be enough."

Lin Yang smiled. A divine tree like this naturally couldn't be supported by a single power alone; they would likely go bankrupt trying to raise it.

Only with the Nine Heavens working together could it regain its divine tree splendor as soon as possible.

"To think that for just one seed, we would pay such a heavy price."

A flash of sorrow crossed Shen Youchu's beautiful eyes. Of the hundred-person team carefully selected by the Nine Heavens, only a few of them had survived.

The mortality rate had already exceeded ninety percent!

In any battle, these would be considered terrifying statistics.

"It's all because of what these two did—betraying the alliance and framing their allies. Your Wuliang Heaven... truly produces many 'talents'!"

Yan Feng turned back to look at Qin Wuliang and Hua Wuyan, gritting his teeth as he spoke.

Qin Wuliang remained indifferent, while Hua Wuyan's face turned slightly pale.

“Brother Lin, how should we deal with these two? In my opinion, we should just kill them directly to appease the heroic spirits of the Nine Heavens who fell on this trip!”

As he spoke, Yan Feng stepped forward, wanting to take action.

"Wait!"

At that moment, Lin Yang reached out to stop him. Yan Feng looked over in confusion.

Lin Yang said, "Although these two are incredibly audacious, I suspect they wouldn't go to such lengths on their own. There must be someone behind them giving orders."

"You mean someone from Wuliang Heaven..." Yan Feng's pupils shrank suddenly.

"I agree with Senior Brother's view. Rather than killing them here, it's better to take them out and hand them over to the Nine Heavens for collective judgment," Shen Youchu said.

Hearing their conversation, Hua Wuyan gave a cold laugh. "Hehe, do you think the people of the Nine Heavens will believe your one-sided story?"

"When the time comes, as long as Senior Brother and I insist that the three of you ambushed us to hog all the credit, let's see who the Great Supremes of the Nine Heavens will believe when there are no witnesses left!"

Hearing Hua Wuyan's words, Yan Feng couldn't help but frown.

Because among the few notable Supremes of the Nine Heavens, the Great Supreme of Wuliang Heaven was the strongest.

Moreover, the Great Supreme of Wuliang Heaven also had a master-disciple relationship with Qin Wuliang and Hua Wuyan.

Once they were out, if Qin Wuliang and Hua Wuyan stubbornly denied everything, then with no other witnesses, even the other Great Supremes of the Nine Heavens would certainly not risk offending the Boundless Great Venerable to forcibly execute the two of them.

"What a hassle. I think it's better to just finish them off here!" A flash of killing intent crossed Yan Feng's eyes.

Their Giant Rock Heaven had suffered heavy losses this time. Of the ten top-tier Prodigies carefully selected, he was the only survivor. He didn't know how he would face the families and friends of his fallen companions when he returned.

"Hehe, Yan Feng, I advise you to behave yourself. Senior Brother and I both have Soul Seals left by the Boundless Great Venerable. If you dare to move against us, the scene of our deaths will be transmitted back to Wuliang Heaven. By then, the entire Nine Heavens will know that the three of you killed us."

"At that time, even if the three of you bring back the heavenly god tree seed, you won't be able to clear your names. After all, everything you say could be seen as an excuse woven just to kill the two of us, couldn't it?" Hua Wuyan sneered.

"You bitch, you were calculating against us from the start!" Yan Feng was furious upon hearing this, but he didn't dare to strike immediately.

After all, just as Hua Wuyan said, out of a hundred-person team, only the three of them were going back. Even if they successfully obtained the heavenly god tree seed, it could hardly be called a victory.

One must know that those who came were the elites of the Nine Heavens, yet only three survived the casualties.

This price was far too heavy.

If images of them killing Qin Wuliang and Hua Wuyan were sent back, they really would face the suspicion of everyone in the Nine Heavens upon their return.

Would they be suspected of slaughtering their other allies just to claim all the credit?

"Hehe, why make things so unpleasant for a bunch of dead trash? Since there are no witnesses now anyway, I have a good idea. Why don't you let us go? All the credit will still be yours, we won't take a bit. After we go back, everyone keeps their mouths shut. How about it?" Hua Wuyan said with a smile.

In her view, the main force of this expedition was originally the people who survived; those who died were only there to increase the numbers and weren't of much use.

If they died, they died.

Yan Feng and Shen Youchu both showed expressions of anger upon hearing this.

"Who told you there are no witnesses?" Just then, Lin Yang slowly glanced at Hua Wuyan.

"Hehe, there are only five of us left. Isn't that the definition of no witnesses?" Hua Wuyan laughed.

Yan Feng and Shen Youchu also looked at Lin Yang curiously.

They saw the latter holding the heavenly god tree seed in his hands as his body slowly floated upward, while countless rays of light gradually emanated from the Void Realm behind him.

"This is..."

A look of disbelief flashed in Yan Feng's eyes. "I feel the Souls of our fallen companions..."

"This Realm is called the Life and Death Time Realm. Life has its time Realm, and death has its time Realm as well..."

Lin Yang silently recited strange ancient words. The heavenly god tree seed in his hand vibrated continuously, and the Soul light emanating from the Void Realm behind him became increasingly grand and vast.

This was the technique the enlightenment tree had taught him. In this special ancient Realm created by the divine tree, the order of life and death was also controlled by the divine tree.

With the power of any two of the three great divine trees, one could reverse time and space to resurrect dead beings!

Of course, this resurrection had significant limitations.

First, it could only target beings who died within the Life and Death Time Realm.

Second, it required the coordinated power of at least two divine trees to reverse life and death.

Third, the time frame for reversing life and death was limited to within three days.

Souls that exceeded this time limit likewise could not be resurrected.

But fortunately, Lin Yang met all three of these harsh conditions simultaneously.

Now, the enlightenment tree was hidden on his person. Turning the demonized Heavenly God Demon Tree back into a pure seed had consumed too much of its power, and it needed a safe place to sleep and recover again.

Based on its observation of Lin Yang during this time, the latter was a reliable person worthy of its trust.

Secondly, the time since the beings of the Nine Heavens died in this Realm wasn't long; all were within the time limit.

"The time Realm has not yet passed; life and death... can be reversed!"

Soon, as Lin Yang recited the final line of the incantation, the light behind him reached its Peak.

Watching those Souls gradually returning, the pupils of Qin Wuliang, who had remained indifferent and silent, couldn't help but tremble slightly.
