317: Chapter 317 The World Tree Takes Shape! You've experienced these things too?!

"Th-this is... the legendary... Divine Object of Creation, Soil of Creation??"

Seeing the pile of black soil exuding a nine-colored divine light that Su Feng had produced, the steady phantom of the Tree of Life could not help but tremble violently at this moment!

"You... you actually have a Divine Object of Creation?!"

Empress Luyin, standing to the side, was so shocked that her face turned pale; she even disregarded her dignity as an Empress, subconsciously reaching out both hands to grip Su Feng's wrist tightly.

[Divine Object of Creation · Soil of Creation: Can cultivate Universe-level Divine Trees of Life or repair the Origin planes of incomplete Small Worlds!]

This was one of the Heaven-Defying rewards the System had dropped when Su Feng previously conquered Empress Jiuyou.

At the time, Su Feng only thought this thing was awesome, but he didn't know exactly how precious it was.

Now, observing the reaction of the Tree of Life, he presumed this item, like the seed from before, belonged to the myth-grade items that transcended the Emperor level.

But for Su Feng, no matter how precious an item was, it was inanimate, while people were alive.

If he could exchange a pile of soil for the favor of this SSS+ grade Elf Empress, Su Feng would absolutely not hesitate.

"You want it? Then it's yours!"

Watching the longing in Empress Luyin's eyes, Su Feng generously handed the Soil of Creation to her.

"Th-this!!!"

Now it was Empress Luyin's turn to be dumbfounded.

Such a divine object, which was impossible to find in the Great Thousand Star Domain, and you just gave it away like that?!

And without even blinking?!

"You gave such a precious betrothal gift... no, gift! How can I repay you?"

Empress Luyin, the dignified ruler of the Life Star Domain, asked herself if she had ever owed someone such a huge favor in her life, and she certainly couldn't bring herself to shamelessly accept someone else's Divine Object of Creation for free.

However... this Soil of Creation was truly the only hope for the Mother Tree to advance!

Empress Luyin's beautiful emerald-green eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and her stunning face was filled with conflict and struggle.

She was not acting for her own selfish desires; she was acting for the survival of the entire Life Star Domain.

But this favor was simply too heavy.

Su Feng took in her conflict at a glance, a faint smile curling at the corners of his lips.

As expected! The more aloof a woman is, the more obvious her weaknesses.

As long as he used such a treasure to firmly grasp her weak point, then when he taught her the Rules of Life and Death later, even if he made some excessive demands, this Empress would likely not refuse!

The conquest would be a matter of course.

However, just as Su Feng was planning his next step, the ethereal voice of the Tree of Life rang out, breaking Empress Luyin's conflict.

"Young Friend Su, I appreciate your kindness. You should take it back."

"Mother Tree?!" Empress Luyin was anxious. This was a life-saving item!

"Luyin, there is no need to force it."

The Tree of Life extended a phantom hand and gently stroked Luyin's head:

"If I had obtained the Soil of Creation while I was still in my prime, I might have had a fifty percent chance of completing Nirvana and ascending to the legendary [Divine Tree of Life]."

"But during this period of war with the Realm Demons, and the devouring by that worm, my Origin Foundation has been damaged. Devilish Qi Impurities that cannot be removed have already infiltrated my body. Even with the Soil of Creation, I am unable to benefit from it."

Hearing these words, Su Feng was somewhat speechless.

He had originally planned to rely on this pile of soil to make Luyin owe him a massive favor she could never repay in this lifetime, and then proceed to engage in deep interaction openly and honestly.

Unexpectedly, this old tree that needed the Soil of Creation the most had simply refused it!

"However, Young Friend Su. If you are willing, this old tree implores you... to use a portion of the Soil of Creation to cultivate the seed of the Tree of Life I just gave you."

The Tree of Life looked at Su Feng, its tone filled with deep anticipation: "It is pure and has not been contaminated by any Impurities. If it has the Soil of Creation as its Foundation, it might... have a chance to go further than I did, and perhaps even reach that Divine Tree which only exists in legends."

"Fine. Since you, Senior, have spoken, I will try to cultivate it."

Su Feng nodded and did not refuse. He directly took out the bean-sized seed of the Tree of Life from earlier and pressed it into the Soil of Creation in his hand.

Subsequently, a miraculous scene occurred!

The moment the seed of the Tree of Life touched the nine-colored Soil of Creation, it was like a thirsty sponge encountering spring water! It visibly took root, sprouted, and rapidly grew into a delicate, emerald-green sapling!

A glowing green light radiated from the leaves of the sapling. A dense, vast vitality began to travel happily through the Soil of Creation, into Su Feng's arm, and wandered through his body!

"Quick! Quickly transplant it into your Small World!"

The Tree of Life wore a rare look of anxiety, its voice even trembling slightly.

Although Su Feng did not know why the Tree of Life was so anxious, his keen intuition told him that this young sapling would definitely bring him a surprise.

Without the slightest hesitation. "Hum!" Su Feng decisively activated the power of the three Dao rules: Time, Space, and Life and Death!

A spatial gate opened in front of his chest. With a thought, Su Feng directly placed the sapling planted in the Soil of Creation into his Small World!

Boom—!!! With the endless nurturing of the Divine Object of Creation, the Soil of Creation, as soon as the sapling took root, it began to grow wildly at an exaggerated speed!

In just the blink of an eye! It grew into a heaven-shrouding, sky-piercing giant tree at the center of Su Feng's Small World!

Its thick roots plunged deep into the Void Realm, and its lush branches and leaves even propped up the firmament of Su Feng's world!

It was also at this moment that Su Feng discovered, to his shock, that his Soul had formed a close mental link with this tree! It was as if it were the heart of his own world!

"Good... very good. It has taken root."

The phantom of the Tree of Life let out a sigh of relief with satisfaction: "Young Friend Su, from now on, you can safely accelerate the time in your Small World. It, the newly born World Tree, will autonomously help you perfect the various natural rules lacking within your Small World."

Su Feng withdrew his Divine Sense, which was observing internally, in astonishment. He suddenly raised his head, staring at the ancient phantom of the Tree of Life before him, and asked solemnly:

"Why do you know so much about the process of opening up a Small World within one's body?"

"Could it be... that you, too, have experienced this kind of thing?!"

Faced with Su Feng's questioning, the Tree of Life fell into a brief silence. After a long while, the ancient phantom slightly raised its head and nodded with a sense of vicissitudes:

"That is correct. Young Friend, you have guessed correctly."

"Billions of years ago, I did indeed... truly experience all of this."

"Because... this so-called vast Great Thousand Star Domain..."

The Tree of Life uttered a sentence that made Su Feng's scalp tingle: "Billions upon billions of years ago... was nothing more than a Small World opened up within the body of that Supreme Heavenly Emperor."
