After the World Tree failed to transcend, its remaining resurrection method also took effect.
The World Tree seed within the Void Box took root and sprouted, growing into a new World Tree.
Unfortunately, the current environment could no longer bear the birth of another Supreme. The World Tree could only reach the Dominator realm.
Although it possessed the memories and experiences of its past life, the conditions did not allow it, and it was helpless.
As for returning to the past, it was too late.
The spacetime before the Mythological Era had already disappeared.
The spacetime after the Mythological Era was rapidly disappearing.
Even for Zheng Dong, using the Time-Space Corridor now could at most take him back to when he first awakened his beast-taming talent.
Earlier spacetime had already vanished.
Moreover, it would not be long before all spacetime converged into a single point, the world would be completely destroyed, forming a new singularity.
Then, a new era would begin from the singularity, giving birth to a new world.
Therefore, the current World Tree was also quite miserable.
It had once stood at the pinnacle of the world, the ceiling of power.
Unfortunately, it still could not transcend.
"I actually broke free from the shackles of this world, but I did not successfully transcend to reach the perfect state of immortality and eternal indestructibility."
"After I left this world, I was severely injured and fell into endless nothingness. There was nothing, and I don't know how many years I struggled before I gave up everything and chose to be resurrected in this world again."
"Therefore, I advise you, if you can avoid leaving this world, do not leave this world. With the protection of this world, once you reach a state of perfection and fulfillment, you will naturally transcend!" the World Tree said.
Zheng Dong nodded slightly.
But this world was about to be destroyed, where would he find a place to stay!
"Building your own power requires you to comprehend it yourself. I cannot teach you. I can only pass on my experience and memories to you. Whether you can comprehend it depends on yourself," the World Tree continued.
Zheng Dong understood.
He needed to build his own power. Even if the World Tree told him how the world force was built, he couldn't just copy it. He could only draw on the World Tree's experience.
"Then don't resist. I will pass on my experience and memories to you!" the World Tree continued.
Zheng Dong nodded, and countless branches surged towards him, enveloping him and forming a large cocoon.
The World Tree's power also flowed into Zheng Dong's body.
Zheng Dong immediately felt as if he had become a World Tree, returning to the Mythological Era.
The World Tree gradually grew from a small sapling into a towering tree.
It awakened self-awareness and learned to cultivate.
At that time, elemental energy was abundant, and the laws of heaven and earth were easy to comprehend.
Before long, the World Tree condensed a divinehead.
As Zheng Dong became increasingly immersed in the World Tree's memories, he seemed to have also become a World Tree.
His feet had actually grown roots.
A leaf had also sprouted from the top of his head.
Seeing Zheng Dong in this state, the World Tree revealed a wry smile.
"Don't blame me. I have no choice. The hope of survival is better placed in my own hands than in yours!"
The World Tree wanted to seize Zheng Dong's power and become a Supreme again.
Only by becoming a Supreme could it have a chance to survive the great tribulation of epochal change.
Having cultivated to this level, its Dao heart was already firm. As long as there was a sliver of opportunity, it would not give up.
Coincidentally, Zheng Dong had given it this hope.
With its current Dominator strength, it was absolutely impossible to seize the power of a Supreme. However, Zheng Dong, in order to obtain its experience and memories, had given it this opportunity.
As long as Zheng Dong's consciousness was lost, it could gradually devour Zheng Dong's power and become a Supreme again.
Zheng Dong seemed to be unaware of the danger, immersing himself in the World Tree's memories.
He transformed into the World Tree, becoming the first transcendent being in this world to awaken consciousness and learn to cultivate.
With almost no threshold, he entered the Dominator realm.
Then, after cultivating for countless years, he became a Supreme.
At this time, this world also became lively. The Undying Dragon God, the Starry Sky Supreme, the Chaos Divine Phoenix, and others also became Dominators. They often had friction with each other and constantly fought.
The World Tree did not participate in these conflicts. It seemed to naturally prefer peace, cultivation, and detachment from worldly affairs.
After cultivating to its peak, it was constantly pondering if there were even higher realms.
Could it become as powerful as this world itself?
Could it create heaven and earth?
All sorts of strange thoughts would pop into the World Tree's mind.
It also created hundreds and thousands of peculiar divine skills because of this.
Including the divine skill it was currently using, "Cuckoo Occupying the Magpie's Nest," which was to seize Zheng Dong's power and replace Zheng Dong as the new Supreme.
Because of this, it pondered the world force and created countless worlds for itself.
Of course, these worlds could not exist independently, forming their own entities. They could only be attached to this great world.
Zheng Dong was engrossed in the World Tree's memories of constructing the world force, completely unaware that his lower body had turned into roots and his head was covered in leaves.
Before long, the World Tree would completely seize his power and become a Supreme again.
The World Tree was also very excited about this.
It could feel its power constantly recovering, and it was getting closer to becoming a Supreme.
Just as it thought everything was foolproof, Zheng Dong suddenly opened his eyes.
Zheng Dong was not completely defenseless against the world.
He would not entrust his life to anyone, not even the Undying Dragon God or the Chaos Divine Phoenix.
Seeing Zheng Dong open his eyes, the World Tree was startled.
"You... you... how could you..."
"Senior, you are truly kind. Are you planning to give me all your power? Then I won't be polite," Zheng Dong said with a cold laugh.
When Zheng Dong agreed to the World Tree, he had sensed danger.
He cultivated the Law of Destiny and had a clear sense of unknown dangers.
Therefore, he took precautions in advance and did not fully immerse his consciousness in the World Tree's memories. After he understood how the World Tree constructed the world force, he fully awakened and took control of his body.
As he watched, the power he had lost began to flow back, rapidly returning to his body.
Of course, this was not the end.
The World Tree's power also flowed into Zheng Dong's body and was absorbed by Ling'er.
Ling'er grew into a true World Tree, and her growth potential also became greater.
As the World Tree's power gradually depleted, the massive World Tree began to wither.
Although the World Tree was unwilling, it could not stop it.
Finally, the World Tree's divinehead shattered, its divine soul disappeared, and the entire tree turned to dust, vanishing completely from heaven and earth.
After dealing with the World Tree, Zheng Dong returned to Yanhuang.
He would wait in Yanhuang for the final moments of the world's destruction.
With his current strength, he could clearly feel the world being destroyed and constantly shrinking.
He had not yet constructed his own power.
Moreover, even if he constructed it, he did not know if he could reach the perfect state mentioned by the World Tree.
"If I cannot transcend, then how can I survive after this world is destroyed?" Zheng Dong pondered.
He took out the Prayer Clay Tablet, searching for the answer to this question.
Unfortunately, it was also useless.
As the world continued to shrink.
The areas outside Yanhuang had already been destroyed.
Looking out from Yanhuang, all that could be seen was nothingness.
Endless cursed spirits madly surged towards Yanhuang.
Everyone in Yanhuang had long known that the world was about to be destroyed.
Almost everyone chose to spend this final time with their families.
In the Imperial Capital Base City, a little girl looked at her mother beside her.
"Mom, is it the end of the world?"
"No, it's time to welcome a new world. When we wake up, a brand new world will appear!"
"Really? Will Mom be here too?"
"Of course, we all will be!"
...
On the other side, Long Zhen Chuan Shuo also took out the last bit of tea he had treasured and brewed a pot.
"Zheng Dong, you say that one world will be buried with us. Is it worth it to die?" Long Zhen Chuan Shuo said with a smile.
"Of course, you are still so open-minded. Life and death are determined by fate. People like me, after cultivating for so long, have become somewhat afraid of death and are reluctant to part with this life," Zheng Dong said.
"You are not reluctant to part with your life, but with the power you wield. In fact, these are all external things. You cannot bring them with you when you are born, nor take them with you when you die. They are not truly ours!" Long Zhen Chuan Shuo said.
Zheng Dong was stunned.
Born without them, die without them!
This made Zheng Dong suddenly feel that the World Tree's inability to transcend might be because it possessed power obtained from this world.
Perhaps true transcendence was to be born from death.
Of course, Zheng Dong was only guessing.
He could not bring himself to die right now.
As the world was destroyed, the sun had long since disappeared, and the starry sky no longer existed.
Yanhuang, protected by Zheng Dong, held on until the very end.
But it also fell into endless darkness.
When all energy was depleted, the lights would no longer shine.
The Curse Emperor also arrived outside Yanhuang.
Its strength was now so great that it was afraid of itself.
It would lead all the cursed spirits to destroy Yanhuang and completely annihilate this world.
As it took out the curse seal, the cursed spirits gathered outside Yanhuang, in the void, poured into Yanhuang.
With so many cursed spirits, even if they did nothing, Yanhuang would completely decay and dissolve.
As the cursed spirits approached, Yanhuang's territory became smaller and smaller, and base cities disappeared one by one.
Soon, it was the Imperial Capital's turn.
Everything in the Imperial Capital was constantly disappearing.
Finally, only the office where Zheng Dong and Long Zhen Chuan Shuo were located remained.
The floor, walls, and tables in the office were disappearing.
Even Long Zhen Chuan Shuo was gradually disappearing.
Long Zhen Chuan Shuo picked up his teacup and drank the last sip of tea.
"Heh heh, I'm leaving first!"
After Long Zhen Chuan Shuo finished speaking, he also completely disappeared.
Soon, only Zheng Dong and other Supremes remained in this world.
Zheng Dong looked at the Curse Emperor, opened his Beast Taming Space, and the Undying Dragon God, Chaos Divine Phoenix, Shen Bing, and Shen Xue also emerged.
The Abyssal Dragon God also gathered.
Although they were not on good terms with Zheng Dong, the Curse Emperor was their common enemy.
The Curse Emperor looked at Zheng Dong and the others without fear, but with a relaxed expression.
"Are you all here? Oh, no, Starry Sky Supreme, you come out too. Don't hide." the Curse Emperor said.
Then, in the endless void, a star suddenly flickered, and the Starry Sky Supreme appeared.
The Starry Sky Supreme also possessed many resurrection methods.
One of its resurrection methods allowed it to be resurrected when the world was about to be completely destroyed and spacetime merged into one.
At this time, it represented the past, the future, and the present.
Even the fusion of the three was its strongest state.
This was similar to Zheng Dong's current state.
With the appearance of the Starry Sky Supreme, all the Supremes born in this world, except for the World Tree, appeared.
Including Zheng Dong, all Supremes, in a sense, were also part of this world.
Therefore, if Zheng Dong and the others were not destroyed, this world would not be considered completely destroyed.
And the Curse Emperor, symbolizing one of the epochal tribulations, had the mission to kill Zheng Dong and the other Supremes.
Of course, it also had its own ulterior motives, hoping to obtain the power of Zheng Dong and others to become a transcender.
The Curse Emperor activated the curse seal, and terrifying power surged out.
Feeling this power, even Zheng Dong frowned.
This power was immense, even stronger than the combined power of all of them.
It was as if it was tailor-made to destroy them.
Zheng Dong's self-contained Beast Taming Space could not resist this power and began to collapse and dissolve.
Not only Zheng Dong's Beast Taming Space, but also the divine kingdoms of Shen Bing, Shen Xue, and the Chaos Divine Phoenix and other Supremes were collapsing and dissolving.
Moreover, the degree of collapse was even faster than Zheng Dong's Beast Taming Space.
The Curse Emperor revealed a mocking expression.
"With just you, you still dream of resisting the great tribulation of heaven and earth? It's simply a dream! No one can survive! Epochal change is an immutable law. Anyone who prevents the birth of a new epoch is the most evil existence in the world!"
As the Curse Emperor's power erupted, countless cursed spirits around it, like countless ants, surged towards Zheng Dong and the other Supremes.
The Abyssal Dragon God, like an earthworm, was bitten by countless ants, struggling desperately.
Of course, the Undying Dragon God, Chaos Divine Phoenix, and Starry Sky Supreme were not in any better state than the Abyssal Dragon God.
The weakest, Shen Bing and Shen Xue, also fell into despair.
They were not two Supremes, but their combined power could reach the level of a Supreme, only slightly stronger than the Abyssal Dragon God before it constructed its Dharma Image.
Seeing that they could not resist the attacks of the Curse Emperor and the countless cursed spirits, they chose to merge their power into Zheng Dong's Beast Taming Space.
They flew into Zheng Dong's Beast Taming Space, voluntarily signed a contract with Zheng Dong, and used their power to stabilize Zheng Dong's Beast Taming Space.
Thus, Zheng Dong's Beast Taming Space quickly stabilized, allowing him to draw more power to deal with the Curse Emperor and the endless cursed spirits.
However, before long, the Curse Emperor's power became even stronger.
This made the Undying Dragon God, Starry Sky Supreme, and others feel despair.
"The longer you persist, the stronger I become. No one can stop the epochal change!" the Curse Emperor sneered.
The Chaos Divine Phoenix also could not hold on and chose to return to Zheng Dong's Beast Taming Space, transferring its power to Zheng Dong.
As it was originally Zheng Dong's pet, it did not need to sign a contract.
Following this, the Undying Dragon God and the Starry Sky Supreme made the same choice.
As for the Abyssal Dragon God, it chose to self-destruct.
It did not trust Zheng Dong, and Zheng Dong did not trust it either.
Therefore, it struggled and flew towards Zheng Dong.
"Since I cannot live, no one else will!"
It chose to self-destruct, intending to blow up Zheng Dong's Beast Taming Space.
Zheng Dong, under attack from the Curse Emperor and countless cursed spirits, could not dodge. His Beast Taming Space suffered a severe blow, one-third of it was destroyed, and it was constantly collapsing.
Zheng Dong was also injured.
The Curse Emperor took the opportunity to condense its curse Dharma Image again and launched its fiercest attack on Zheng Dong, heavily wounding him.
Immediately after, countless curse divine texts surged towards Zheng Dong, like a large net, binding Zheng Dong and continuously draining his power.
The Curse Emperor wanted to strip Zheng Dong of all his power, convert it to itself, and become a transcender, leaving this world.
Severely injured, Zheng Dong was powerless to resist and could only let its power be stripped away.
Even with the desperate help of the Undying Dragon God, Starry Sky Supreme, and others, they could not stop the Curse Emperor.
Feeling his power constantly disappearing, gradually returning to that of an ordinary person.
Zheng Dong once again remembered Long Zhen Chuan Shuo's words.
Born without them, die without them!
"Immortal without birth!"
Zheng Dong decided to take a gamble, actively dispersing all his power, leaving only his consciousness, as well as his comprehension of the laws of power, world force, and curse force.
The moment his power was lost, he was also killed. The Undying Dragon God and others also failed to escape and fell one after another.
However, Zheng Dong, who had lost everything, did not immediately lose his consciousness.
Just as his consciousness was about to disappear, he suddenly comprehended the true meaning of power and recognized the essence of the world.
He also gained a fundamental understanding of life and death. His consciousness no longer disappeared, seeming to exist eternally, unaffected by any power.
The Curse Emperor, however, did not notice any of this.
After killing Zheng Dong and the others, it wanted to transcend and leave this world.
Unfortunately, it did not succeed.
Just as it was about to transcend, all the cursed spirits surged towards it, as if it were natural, burning it alive.
With the death of the Curse Emperor and all the cursed spirits, everything in this world gradually merged into a single point, becoming the singularity from which a new world would be born.
Watching the singularity appear, emitting endless light and heat, a new world was about to be born.
Zheng Dong's consciousness surged into the singularity. He decided to create a new world according to his own will, to achieve the legendary perfect state and truly transcend.
With a violent explosion, a new epoch began.
Under the influence of Zheng Dong's will, a new power was born, and the world evolved in the direction Zheng Dong envisioned.
However, this evolution was mentally taxing, and soon Zheng Dong's will fell into a deep sleep due to extreme fatigue.
While Zheng Dong was asleep, this world also developed self-awareness. It sensed Zheng Dong's existence and the first thing it wanted to do was kill Zheng Dong...
The End of the Book!
