"You are..."
"The Golden Ancient Tree?"
Through a hazy mist, Su Qingfeng opened his eyes and vaguely saw a gigantic Golden Ancient Tree, brimming with boundless, indestructible life force, standing before him.
"Human, I'm glad you still remember me. I am the Golden Ancient Tree, the life core of Douluo Continent, and the embodiment of Douluo Continent's life energy. My good and bad reflect the overall state of Douluo Continent
's life energy. Thousands of years, or perhaps ten thousand years ago, an incomparably powerful god transplanted me here to protect this academy, allowing him to better monitor the living beings on this continent.
You can call me: Ancient Mother."
It was a very gentle, kind, womanly voice.
Along with this voice, a golden ball of light condensed within the Golden Ancient Tree and landed before Su Qingfeng.
The ball of light, like a newly fallen golden egg, slowly cracked its golden shell, revealing a blurry human figure inside, which then gradually became clearer.
She was a tall, voluptuous woman with long, flowing golden hair that reached her hips. She was completely naked, yet showed no shame, as if she were born with such grace, poise, and kindness.
She stood before Su Qingfeng, her beautiful face always bearing a gentle smile:
"Did I frighten you?"
"No, I just find it a little unbelievable. Why did you choose me?"
Su Qingfeng naturally knew the origins of the Golden Ancient Tree. Later, Tang San, for his grand plan, sacrificed his mother, merging Ah Yin into the Golden Ancient Tree, making his father, Tang Hao, the ruler of the Douluo Continent, thus bringing everything under complete control. He
just hadn't expected the Golden Ancient Tree to possess its own consciousness and be able to manifest a human body.
However, Su Qingfeng quickly accepted this outcome. According to the Golden Ancient Tree's design, it was essentially the Mother Earth, the sum of all primordial life on the Douluo Continent, representing, to some extent, the will of the Douluo Continent.
Therefore, ten thousand years ago, after Tang San became a god, he stayed on the Douluo Continent for a period of time, found the Golden Ancient Tree, and controlled it, thus controlling the Douluo Continent.
However, will can betray, just like now. But the probability of his mother betraying him is relatively low; after all, in history, the person who loves their son the most is probably their mother.
Therefore, it seems reasonable that Tang San allowed his mother to merge into the Golden Ancient Tree as its main consciousness.
"It wasn't me who chose you, but the countless beings on the continent who chose you." "
Ten thousand years ago, a god named Tang San found me. I saw in him the manifestation of destiny; the future of Douluo Continent seemed to rest on his shoulders. So I was persuaded by him and came here with him."
"Now, the will of almost all living beings has recognized you, reaching an all-time high, far surpassing Tang San of yesteryear. Naturally, I follow the will of the living beings, loving and cherishing you as their will is unified."
"A year or two ago, my main consciousness was still dormant, awakened by you in a hazy state. You almost drained a portion of my elemental power. Do you remember? At that time, I noticed you."
Hearing this, Su Qingfeng seemed thoughtful, looking at the Golden Ancient Tree. Although she didn't conceal her beauty, Su Qingfeng tried his best not to have worldly desires, cupping his hands and saying,
"I see. Thank you for your help, Ancient Mother."
"And that's not all,"
the Golden Ancient Tree's spirit said with a faint smile,
"You now need a ninth spirit ring to break through the final bottleneck level."
Su Qingfeng was somewhat puzzled: "Did the Ancient Mother make a recommendation?"
Having reached level ninety, Su Qingfeng was also pondering what to choose for his ninth spirit ring.
The ninth spirit ring was both important and unimportant to Su Qingfeng.
It was important because it was the final piece of the puzzle for his nine spirit rings, allowing him to further enhance his strength.
It was unimportant because finding a satisfactory spirit ring would be difficult; his remaining excellent attribute choices included darkness, space, and lightning.
These were all formidable, but equally difficult to find one as powerful and of the same age as his previous spirit rings, requiring gradual cultivation.
"What do you think of me?"
The spirit of the Golden Ancient Tree revealed its perfect form, spinning once before Su Qingfeng, leaving him utterly astonished:
What? The will of Douluo Continent, giving me my ninth spirit ring???
"Rest assured, I will not wrong you by becoming your ninth spirit ring. I am the culmination of the life force of Douluo Continent, the mother of all life. In essence, I should be considered a treasure of god-like level, far more powerful than any native spirit beast on the continent."
The Golden Ancient Tree quickly explained, having previously dismissed Su Qingfeng's hesitation as a sign of distrust.
If any elders were present, they would be utterly astonished. They knew Su Qingfeng possessed great charm, but they never imagined it was to this extent, even the Golden Ancient Tree couldn't resist.
"No, Mother, you misunderstand. I'm not questioning your power, but I have concerns. After all, you are the embodiment of the will of life on Douluo Continent, the manifestation of life itself. If you become my ninth spirit ring, your physical body will perish, which would mean the annihilation of all life on Douluo Continent."
Su Qingfeng voiced her worries. Although she lacked the ambition to be a savior, she also didn't want to be an ungrateful, world-destroying destroyer.
What will become of the teacher, Sister Xiaotao, Sister Luochen, and even the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest?
"Of course not. How could the collective will of living beings choose to perish?"
the spirit of the Golden Ancient Tree exclaimed in surprise.
"It is the will of the continent's beings that believes that uniting with you will lead this continent to a better future, hence this unique outcome."
"When I become your ninth soul ring, you will become the master of this continent, the so-called 'master of the plane.'
I have also observed your Polar Star Martial Soul. If I become your ninth star, perhaps there is a possibility that after the Golden Ancient Tree takes root at the ninth star, it will connect with the other eight stars and be able to absorb and integrate the power of other native elements on the continent."
"In other words, the elements you can possess will not be limited to nine. You may very well gain power beyond nine elements—ten? Twelve? Or even more?"
Hearing this, Su Qingfeng was already shocked.
He had originally been troubled by the elements he needed to absorb for his ninth ring, but unexpectedly, this Golden Ancient Tree hidden on Seagod Island had completely overturned everything for him—he wanted it all!
Was everything destiny?
Su Qingfeng had never believed in fate, but now he was starting to. From the very first day he set foot on Seagod Island, it already meant he would become the ruler of this plane?
The Golden Tree had abandoned its former master, betrayed Tang San, and was now willing to entrust everything to Su Qingfeng!
"What do we need to do? A sacrifice?"
"No, the will of all living beings is connected through the roots of the Golden Tree, communicating with the veins of the earth. We don't need such a low-level, inefficient method as sacrifice. We only need the original method. Please don't mind."
"This is also the special idea and method that the countless living beings of the continent have bestowed upon you."
The spirit of the Golden Tree stepped forward, pressing down on Su Qingfeng, and said calmly:
"Absorb nutrients, take root and survive, root-to-root connection is enough."
When ruthless, even the Golden Tree wouldn't be spared!
