Star Odyssey Chapter 3215: Big Tree, Big Tree

Chapter 3215: Big Tree, Big Tree

Countless lives had already been lost on this battlefield, and many more were destined to follow.

This was war, and it was being fought for survival.

Many familiar faces would never be seen again.

This war was also inevitable. For humanity, they needed to fight for their descendants.

If they did not carry this burden, it would fall upon their descendants.

In the Heavens Sect, bodies fell, one after another.

The Progenitor of Bloodlines leaned on his cane as he stood outside the sect's main hall.

"My own end draws near as well," he murmured as he looked ahead at Master Shan’s cold body.

The Star Devourer, the jiao, and Ancestor Tortoise were engaged in a fierce battle in outer s.p.a.ce.

Soon, another body fell; it was the Luna Alliance’s Moon Ghost. She had been killed by an odd creature which was another outsider powerhouse who had allied with Aeternus.

As for the odd creature, it was quickly put down by Mu Xie.

In the Perennial World, Lu Qi fought against outsider powerhouses above the Middle Ocean.

Nong Yi stood guard outside of Seed Garden, while Xi Wei went to the top of the Mother Tree.

Battles were being fought absolutely everywhere.

This was a ma.s.sive war, and although it had broken out quite suddenly, humanity had been prepared for it for a long time.

Life and death were decided almost casually at this moment.

A large tree appeared in outer s.p.a.ce. It raised a thick trunk and started frantically racing towards the Perennial World.

Lu Qi was in the middle of fighting a strange creature above the Middle Ocean when the big tree stomped on his head. Enraged, he tried to chase after the tree, but he was stopped by his opponent.

The big tree ran through the Perennial World and continued on to the Fifth Mainland. It circled the Neoverse and then pa.s.sed through the void to make its way to the Heavens Sect. As Arch-Elder Zen and the others stared in amazement, the tree stepped on the Star Devourer's head and vanished.

Shao Chen rubbed his eyes. "Was that... a tree?"

The tree then arrived in the Second Scourge, where it moved faster than anyone else. Even the speed of time meant nothing before the tree. The entire megaverse was the big tree’s sandbox, and it could go wherever it pleased.

On this battlefield, many people recognized the big tree.

Big Sis’ mouth fell open, and she shouted, "You stupid tree! Get over here!"

Lu Yuan and Ancient G.o.d both looked over. "Is it really that same tree?"

"Why does that thing always visit battlefields?"

Ancient G.o.d clearly remembered how many human powerhouses had been dragged away from the Third Mainland's Battle of Turtledove River by the big tree. That was when Ce w.a.n.gtian had been lost.

Progenitor Xi stared as the big tree zipped by and frowned. This tree really knew when to show up.

Kong Tianzhao was caught off guard. He was down on one knee and was surprised when his ankle was caught on a branch. As quick as that, he was dragged away, completely shocked.

As it dragged Kong Tianzhao away, the big tree panicked, as it thought that someone was chasing it. It started frantically running around the battlefield.

Tian En glared at the tree coldly. "It’s that tree yet again! If not for that tree, Tai Chu would have died long ago."

As she thought back, she attacked the big tree, only to be blocked by Jiang Feng.

The Lord of Lightning had been unable to save Kong Tianzhao, but the big tree had just happened to drag the swordsman away. While it was a rather humiliating escape, it was at least better than dying.

Kong Tianzhao, a paragon of righteousness who had always maintained an air of a n.o.ble gentleman, even during difficult training in harsh environments, was currently being dragged across the ground by a tree branch.

"Get over here!" Behind Big Sis, her Abyssal King stepped forward and grabbed a branch.

This terrified the big tree even further, and it started running even more frantically.

Big Sis grabbed hold of a branch with one hand, and the Magician with her other. The man looked at her in confusion as he was dragged along.

The Magician was one of Arrow G.o.d’s Five Elders. He was powerful enough to have partic.i.p.ated in the Divine Selection, and he had survived the battlefield at the Immemorial Citadel. He had survived countless battles and was incredibly powerful. Not even Big Sis could handle the Magician easily.

At this moment, Big Sis wanted to follow the big tree, so she naturally had to drag the Magician along.

The Magician quickly used his innate gift, Truth Flame, and tried to burn a branch.

Unfortunately, he discovered that the branch produced an even more terrifying flame, and it devoured his Truth Flame. He did not dare to act rashly again.

At this moment, Xin Wu raced after the big tree. He had been about to die, killed by Ye Wu, and the big tree offered hope of escaping from the battlefield.

Ye Wu did not pursue, though The Abandoned was one step faster, and he appeared in front of Xin Wu. The man’s broken blade slashed out, and Xin Wu's head flew off.

Lightning fell, and as everyone stared in shock, Progenitor Ku kept a fierce grip on the Ancient Lightning Locust and charged at the big tree.

The big tree was so terrified its branches were trembling.

The Ancient Lightning Locust's lightning roared as it tried to shake Progenitor Ku off, but the Progenitor remained immovable, "Come with me to the Immemorial Citadel."

Lightning flickered over top of flames as the Ancient Lightning Locust struggled. Unfortunately, it was unable to break free from Progenitor Ku.

Progenitor Ku's body blazed with the light of Triumphant Brawl as he maintained a tight hold on the Ancient Lightning Locust.

He could not defeat the beast, as the Ancient Lightning Locust was not even a living creature, but rather pure lightning. Even so, that was not enough to stop the Progenitor from dragging Ancient Lightning Locust along with him.

Qing Ping used judgment on Mu Ji. "Judgment: up the tree."

Mu Ji was stunned. How could that be a judgment? Was this some kind of tree-climbing contest? That should be impossible.

He immediately spun his Roulette of Life and Death, trying to find a way out.

The big tree frantically tried to escape from the intense war that covered the Second Scourge. The fierce fighting had opened deep fissures everywhere.

The big tree tripped and fell into one of those fissures.

The tree was dragging Kong Tianzhao along, and Big Sis was holding onto a branch with one hand and the Magician with the other.

Progenitor Ku squatted on the tree’s trunk while clutching the Ancient Lightning Locust.

All of them fell along with the big tree, and they crashed into the solidified lake of divine energy. Some distance away from them were both Lu Yin and Bai Xian'er.

Lu Yin and Bai Xian'er were both taken aback by the sudden arrival of the others, and they stared at the big tree. What was going on?

The big tree struggled in a panic as it tried to shake off the creatures clinging to it, but it could not get free. Because of that, it fled through the lake of solidified divine energy.

Bai Xian'er stared. The Ancient Lightning Locust? Progenitor Ku? And that... is that Progenitor Yōu Ming? That big tree has appeared on a battlefield yet again.

In every major war throughout human history, this same big tree had made an appearance. This battle was being fought across multiple universes, which was a scale rare even across all of history. It was not surprising to see the tree make an appearance.

This big tree had a connection to the Immemorial Citadel.

Lu Yin had no time to worry about the tree. He was under too much pressure from Bai Xian'er. Her sequence particles were almost impossible to deal with, and with his current strength, he could not match her. The only possibility was to break through and become a Progenitor.

However, the three bits of Primaldust remained far away, and Bai Xian'er would never allow Lu Yin to reach them.

If he could not break through with his Dust World inner world, then he would have to do so with Infinity.

Lu Yin had spent a long time as a Semi-Progenitor, and it was time for him to break through and become a Progenitor.

He took a deep breath and then looked away from the big tree to focus on Bai Xian'er.

She was already looking at him. "Brother Xiaoxuan, you-"

Before she could finish, the big tree shot towards them.

Bai Xian'er’s eyes grew cold. "Brother Xiaoxuan, you can't leave with that tree! Even if you do, will you abandon this battlefield?"

Lu Yin responded with a bitter smile, "Of course not."

"In that case, let's fall into oblivion along with this battlefield," Bai Xian'er icily declared.

Neither of the two noticed that the big tree's branches had created a ripple in the solidified lake of divine energy, and that the ripple had generated a force pulling on the three distant pieces of Primaldust.

Everyone's attention remained focused on the big tree.

Especially Bai Xian'er. She watched as a dirt road appeared beneath the big tree’s two thick trunks. This was the manifestation of the path that the tree used to move. Even the tree needed something to support its journey through the void.

Bai Xian'er shattered that dirt road in an attempt to stop the big tree.

The tree was startled, and flames started to blaze all around it.

These were the same flames that had once burned the Books of Destiny. They were the flames that burned above the Immemorial Citadel and held the Aeternals at bay. They had accepted the bodies of countless human heroes throughout history. This time, they burned Bai Xian'er's sequence particles.

On the tree, Big Sis shouted, "Little Seven, are you alright?"

Progenitor Ku was still clinging tightly to the Ancient Lightning Locust. "We might be going to the Immemorial Citadel. I've lost some of my memories, but I have a feeling... that this is not yet the time to decide things with Aeternus."

The big tree continued to flee in a frenzy. It burned Bai Xian'er's sequence particles, which caused the dirt road to vanish.

It was at this moment that Lu Yin noticed the ripple trailing behind the big tree, as well as the three pieces of Primaldust that were being pulled along.

Lu Yin's eyes flared. He could not even answer Big Sis and Progenitor Ku. He waved his hand, and the pieces of Primaldust followed the ripple as they flew toward him.

Bai Xian'er saw what was happening and hurriedly tried to stop Lu Yin, but Kong Tianzhao stabbed his sword into the big tree’s trunk. The tree was startled, and it jumped up and changed direction, racing towards Bai Xian'er, which blocked her.

Flames burned, and they melted the nearby divine energy.

At the top of the black Mother Tree, True G.o.d was focused on the battle down below. To him, the fight between Lu Yin and Bai Xian'er had been far more compelling than the fights between Lu Yuan and Ancient G.o.d, Wu Tian and Di Qiong, or the Lord of Lightning and Tian Ci.

The big tree’s appearance was unexpected, and the flames surrounding it were so intense that not even divine energy could suppress them.

The flames even managed to block Bai Xian'er's vision.

Lu Yin managed to grab the three pieces of Primaldust. He felt their scorching heat from the one in his forehead, and he let go of the ones in his hand. The three pieces of Primaldust shot towards his brow, merging with his body and disappearing.

"Mavis, Mavis, Mavis..."

"First Blood, from now on, this Mainland is yours to oversee. Everyone will call you Ancestor Mavis. Listen to that. Doesn’t it sound impressive?"

"Master, this sounds like a pain. Why don’t you give it to Loam?"

"Loam has one too."

"Then what about Musclehead?"

"Musclehead also has one."

"Then who doesn't? There are nine of us, so are you going to make eight Mainlands?"

"Big Thug, La.s.sy, and Blackie won't have one. It doesn’t suit their personalities."

"I understand La.s.sy and Blackie, but how is Big Thug unsuitable?"

"Big Thug needs to continue teaching all creatures. How could he be confined to a single Mainland?"

"I don't know why, but I feel like you're mocking us, Master."

"You’re mistaken."

...

"Musclehead, take good care of this Mainland."

"Master, I'll bring a new kind of life to this Mainland. What do you think about humans growing to be a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand times bigger and creating a new race?"

"Musclehead, do you think I’ve gone senile? That’s already been done. There are parallel universes with enormous humans. I've seen them, and I can even grow bigger myself. Look at my hand. See how big it is?"

"No, Master. You’ve managed to comprehend everything. How could you be senile?"

"Alright, in that case, go ahead and add more life to your Mainland. In fact, go ahead and take the astral beasts with the worst tempers with you too."

"What? Master, that's too much! Those astral beasts act more on instinct than rationality. Clearly, they should be handled by Yellowy. He’s better suited to deal with them."

"Yellowy is too blunt and forceful. You should handle this. We humans need to live peacefully with the astral beasts. We can't allow them to become a spark that ignites war."

"Then what about the Divine Eagle or the Python Ancestor? If they don’t work, then even the Arkfish could disgust them."

"Don’t you want to try to create a race of giants? You might receive some inspiration from the ma.s.sive astral beasts."

"Master, I feel like you're messing with me."

"You’re mistaken."
