114: Origin Drawing: Rooted in the Three-Eyed World

As the Grand Elder gave the order, the Treants arranged themselves into a special formation.

A strange fluctuation emanated from them, resonating with the altar.

The totem poles around the altar glowed with dazzling light, and a transparent crystal slowly rose from the center of the altar.

At the same time, a System prompt suddenly rang in Lin Xingyu's mind.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for discovering the secret realm core. Do you wish to devour it?"

"secret realm core?"

Lin Xingyu looked at the crystal before him, lost in thought.

He was currently a Third-rank Eight-star. If he wanted to reach Nine-star Peak, killing monsters for a day would be enough.

Should he devour the "secret realm core" now, or wait until he advanced to the next rank?

According to Luo Chengan's prediction, his advancement Materials were in Secret Realm No. 3688.

Secret Realm No. 3688 was a D-rank Secret Realm, only allowing those of Third-rank and below to enter.

If he devoured the "secret realm core" now and advanced to Fourth-rank, he would be unable to enter Secret Realm No. 3688.

This would be equivalent to wasting a "secret realm core" for nothing.

But what if there was no "secret realm core" in Secret Realm No. 3688... After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Xingyu called Luo Chengan.

"Boss, what's up?"

The call connected quickly, and Luo Chengan's voice came through.

"Help me predict again, are the Materials I need for advancement in Secret Realm No. 3688?"

"Okay, Boss!"

Luo Chengan immediately used the power of the "Heaven-Peeking Mirror"... Half an hour later.

Lin Xingyu hung up the call, a smile on his face.

According to Luo Chengan, Secret Realm No. 3688 indeed contained the Materials he needed for advancement.

This had not changed.

This also meant that the "secret realm core" before him could be directly devoured.

"Devour!"

As soon as Lin Xingyu finished speaking, a terrifying pressure descended once again.

The entire Secret Realm No. 3699 seemed to have been paused, all living creatures frozen in place.

Under the influence of the pressure, the "secret realm core" slowly drifted towards Lin Xingyu, eventually merging into his body.

"Swish--"

All humans in the Secret Realm were instantly teleported out.

The Treant Clan also disappeared from their original location, appearing in the Inner World.

"Rumble--"

The Secret Realm began to tremble violently, mountains collapsed, and rivers flowed backward.

Accompanied by deafening roars, the entire Secret Realm collapsed and disintegrated, transforming into pure Origin power, which was absorbed by the Inner World.

At the same time, the Inner World was undergoing earth-shattering changes.

The world barrier rapidly expanded outward, and new land unfurled.

New mountain ranges, rivers, and lakes were constantly being nurtured... The World Tree grew upward at an astonishing speed, its thick roots spreading out in all directions like giant pythons.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, your World Tree has unlocked a new function: Origin Absorption!"

"Origin Absorption: The World Tree's roots can take root in a target world, slowly absorbing the world's Origin."

"The host can use himself or an Apostle as an anchor point to lock onto the target world."

"The absorption process is relatively slow. If you need to accelerate it, please find the world core and devour it directly!"

"Ding! Please choose the world to absorb, host!"

"Blue Star World", "Three-Eyed Clan World".

"Three-Eyed Clan World!"

Lin Xingyu unhesitatingly chose the latter.

Needless to say, he would, of course, absorb other worlds!

Hidden Shadow, as his Apostle, was currently in the Three-Eyed Clan World.

This kid had rendered great service.

When he later acquired another Four-Armed Clan Apostle, he would be able to include the Four-Armed Clan World within the scope of absorption.

"Ding! Three-Eyed Clan World confirmed."

As the System's voice fell, the World Tree's roots plunged into the Void Realm, disappearing... At the same time, in the Three-Eyed Clan World.

An invisible fluctuation swept through every corner of the world.

Great Emperor Cang Ming, who was in seclusion deep within the Imperial Palace, suddenly opened his third eye.

A mouthful of fresh blood gushed out.

"What's going on?"

This newly advanced God-rank Experts' face was pale, and blood continuously seeped from the vertical pupil on his forehead.

Just now, the world's Origin had undergone a violent disturbance, as if being savagely torn apart by some supreme existence.

He could even feel the wailing of the world, as if it was suffering a fatal threat.

Great Emperor Cang Ming disregarded his own injuries, instantly disappearing from his original spot.

The next second, he appeared high in the sky.

He closed his eyes, carefully sensing the changes in the entire world.

"The Three-Eyed Clan World... seems... to be heading towards decline..."

Although this change was very slow, it was exceptionally firm, giving him a sense of irreversibility.

This left him completely perplexed.

The Three-Eyed Clan World was in its heyday, so how could it be heading towards decline?

Something must be wrong!

"By my imperial decree, thoroughly investigate the entire world!"

"Report any suspicious situations immediately!"

...Outside Secret Realm No. 3699, construction was nearing completion.

The Iron Shield Battle Group Commander was happily surveying the scene before him.

They would soon be able to move into the new logistics base, bidding farewell to those drafty tents.

The development of the new Secret Realm was still unknown how long it would last, and to prevent accidents, he had to stay here.

Just then, a sudden change occurred.

"Rumble--"

Amidst the deafening roars, the spatial rift twisted violently, as if being kneaded by an invisible giant hand.

Immediately after, a large number of people from the Secret Realm were thrown out, scattering across the wilderness around the rift like dumplings.

This sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard.

One moment they were exploring in the Secret Realm, the next they were back in the Blue Star World.

The scene immediately descended into chaos.

"What's going on? How did I get out?"

"That pressure just now was too terrifying, I couldn't even move a finger!"

"My spirit seed! The spirit seed that just dropped hasn't been absorbed yet! All these days of effort wasted!!!"

..."Boom--"

Another loud bang.

The spatial rift shrank at a visible speed, eventually disappearing.

"Look! The spatial rift is gone!"

"Refined by someone? Someone refined the secret realm core so quickly?"

"Which lucky person is this? Why isn't it me??"

"Damn it! Such a great Opportunity, yet I missed it..."

The crowd gathered around the vanished rift, beating their chests and sighing with regret.

"Holy crap..."

The Iron Shield Battle Group Commander was dumbfounded, speechless for a long time.

He suppressed the shock in his heart and gave the order:

"Stop construction! Set up a cordon around the area, no one is allowed to approach!"

"Immediately report this matter to the Federation and request the Spiritual Energy Research Institute to intervene in the investigation!"

...At the same time, in the Inner World.

As time passed, the world's expansion rate gradually slowed down.

It had now reached a diameter of 400,000 meters.

As the World Tree was still continuously absorbing the Origin of the Three-Eyed Clan World, the Inner World would continue to expand.

It was just that this speed was relatively slow.
