176: Sequence 042: Dao Fruit Tree

The good corpse dao fruit submerged into the magic bottle, like sweet rain falling into a parched desert.

The near-dead pool water of the Chaos Thunder Pool was instantly injected with unprecedented vitality and order.

It was no longer a collision of violent destruction and creation, but rather presented a harmonious, balanced flow.

The golden life thunder and black death thunder, like two docile giant fish, slowly circled the dao fruit that radiated an aura of Perfection and peace, demonstrating the mystery of Yin and Yang generating each other.

The Law structure of the entire Small World within the bottle was self-repairing, perfecting, and sublimating at a slow yet steady pace.

An aura tending toward "Perfection" permeated from within the bottle, even slightly seeping outside, making Ink Snow, who was on guard, feel her mind settle a little.

However, the power of this dao fruit was immense, and the "good" Heavenly Dao Law it contained was profound; it could not be completely absorbed and assimilated by the Chaos Thunder Pool in a short time.

Most of the power remained condensed within the dao fruit, silently radiating brilliance, like a massive, not-yet-fully-activated Treasure Trove.

The dormant consciousness of the Immortal in a Bottle, nourished by this peaceful power, accelerated its recovery, but the progress of its Fusion with the dao fruit was extremely slow.

If it continued like this, I fear that by the time the Heavenly Dao saw through the lie and descended again, it might not be able to fully digest this great gift.

There must be a way to more efficiently and safely "transform" and "utilize" the power of this dao fruit!

This need was transmitted through the weak consciousness connection to the artifact spirit symbiotic with the magic bottle.

The artifact spirit's computing core ran wildly, calling upon all knowledge from the Ancient Civilization heritage regarding "energy transformation," "Law manifestation," and "Spiritual Root cultivation." Combining the current state of the Chaos Thunder Pool with the characteristics of the good corpse dao fruit, a brand-new sequence blueprint was rapidly generated.

"Detected ultra-high concentration ordered Heavenly Dao Law aggregate (good corpse dao fruit), analysis and Fusion efficiency is low."

"Optimal utilization plan: Use it as a seed for the 'World Tree,' root it in the Chaos Thunder Pool, use it as the core to build a Law circulation network, gradually release and transform its power, and bear 'fruits' containing partial Law power."

"Core materials: good corpse dao fruit (as seed and core), Chaos Thunder Pool Origin (providing growth substrate and energy), 'Civilization Fire Seeds' network structure (as Law diffusion channel), 'Memory Hive' computing unit (optimizing fruit condensation)..."

"Cultivation direction: Tree of Law, Heavenly Dao fruits..."

"Naming: [sequence 042: Dao Fruit Tree]!"

Plan confirmed, executing immediately.

The artifact spirit carefully guided the power of the Chaos Thunder Pool, like the most precise gardener, constructing a "nursery" interwoven with pure Chaos energy and orderly runes right in the center of the pool, beneath the good corpse dao fruit.

Then, it controlled the magic bottle to "plant" the floating good corpse dao fruit slowly and gently.

The moment the dao fruit touched the "nursery" — Hum!

A strange, vibrant humming sound echoed throughout the entire Small World.

The dao fruit seemed to have truly become a seed; the profound Dao patterns on its surface came to life, extending countless, infinitely tiny, root-like emerald green light threads that dug deeply into the Chaos energy below!

It began... to grow!

It was not the slow growth of a plant, but an evolution and manifestation of Laws and energy!

First, a tender green seedling, appearing to be composed of the purest light and Laws, broke through the "soil," sprouting branches, growing taller, and becoming thicker at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Its trunk presented a texture as warm and moist as jade, yet it flowed with the purple-gold luster of Chaos Thunder Gang.

The branches and leaves were not simply green, but presented a strange, translucent form with countless tiny Law runes constantly flowing across them; each leaf seemed to contain a tiny world, cycling through birth and death.

The tree's root system was even more incomparably vast, like a neural network, rapidly spreading to every corner of the Chaos Thunder Pool, and even beginning to connect with the double-pattern Laws on the inner wall of the magic bottle, as if wanting to become the new "backbone" of this Small World!

The growth of this tree crazily absorbed the energy of the Chaos Thunder Pool and the power of the good corpse dao fruit, but its very existence was feeding back into this world!

The peaceful Dao aura and orderly Laws it emitted greatly accelerated the pool's digestion of the dao fruit's power, and further made the structure of the entire Small World more stable and the Laws clearer!

In a short time, a giant Law tree, ten thousand zhang tall with a canopy like clouds and radiating the vast aura of the Heavenly Dao, stood majestically in the Chaos Thunder Pool, becoming the most dazzling and core existence of this world!

And this was not the end.

As the giant tree grew and matured, little points of light began to condense between the dense branches and leaves composed of Law runes.

These lights absorbed the pure Law power transformed by the giant tree, slowly grew larger, and gradually condensed into fruits of various shapes, each radiating fluctuations of different attribute Laws... fruit!

Some fruits were entirely crimson, burning with raging Dao flames, emitting the Law aura of "destruction" and "burning."

Some fruits were deep blue like water, flowing with trickling streams, containing the Law essence of "nourishment" and "purification."

Some fruits were heavy and earthy yellow, as stable as a mountain, condensing Law fragments of "solidity" and "bearing."

Some fruits were dripping with emerald green, full of vitality, representing the Law power of "growth" and "recovery"...

[Law Fruits]!

These fruits were the most essential crystals condensed after the power of the good corpse dao fruit was transformed by the Dao Fruit Tree!

Each fruit contained one or several relatively complete Heavenly Dao Law fragments!

Consuming these fruits could, in a very short time, greatly improve one's comprehension and control over the corresponding Laws, and even... grasp part of the Heavenly Dao authority!

Although far less complete and powerful than true Heavenly Dao authority, for Cultivators who had not yet touched the corresponding Laws, this was nothing short of a shortcut to ascend to the heavens in one step!

And for existences who already wielded relevant Laws (such as The Three Daughters), it was an even greater reinforcement!

sequence 042: Dao Fruit Tree, completely formed!

It stood silently in the center of the Chaos Thunder Pool, like a backbone supporting heaven and earth, constantly transforming the dao fruit's power, bearing precious Law Fruits, and perfecting the Heavenly Dao of the Small World within the bottle.

The aura of the magic bottle became, because of this, more profound, heavy, and unfathomable.

The dormant consciousness of the Immortal in a Bottle, under the nourishment of the peaceful Dao aura and pure Laws emitted by the Dao Fruit Tree, saw its recovery speed soar again, and even its essence began to undergo a certain subtle transformation, moving towards a more "complete" direction.

Through the weak sensing of the Reincarnation Butterfly Seal, Ink Snow vaguely perceived the birth of the giant Law tree within the bottle and the enticing fruits, her heart shocked beyond measure.

The Father's path seemed to have undergone a huge deflection again due to this final gift from Han Li.

It was no longer pure plunder and destruction, but had begun to gestate... order and creation?

What kind of future would this Dao Fruit Tree bring to this dormant kingdom?

And those Law Fruits... who would pick them? What kind of power would they bestow?

Hope, like the heavy fruits on the branches, gradually bent the branches down.

Quietly waiting for the time of harvest.
