What was this emerald-green tree?
At this moment, the Abyssal Sage King was stunned.
A single phrase echoed repeatedly in his mind.
"What is that?"
Right then, the entire spatial channel was undergoing a transformation.
Because a subsidiary tree of the Tree of Life had taken root in the channel!
Instantly, the life laws belonging to Douluo Star surged crazily into this channel.
This channel, originally just a passage pierced through the spatial interlayer with no capacity for life, now had life laws.
Boom!
The channel trembled but showed no sign of collapsing. Instead, it expanded wildly. At that moment, Su Ming summoned a portal—a huge portal that filled the channel. Within that portal, it was as if a space had poured into the channel.
In that instant, both the Abyssal creatures and the Spirit Masters of Douluo Star felt the world spin around them. A deafening roar, as if the heavens and earth were being created, echoed in their ears. The channel transformed into an independent small world; its original corridor-like shape became irregular.
Su Ming had fused the Necromancer Demiplane into this spatial channel!
This intermediate zone connecting the two great planes had independently evolved into a small world!
This small world was based on the Necromancer Demiplane, with the laws of both Douluo Star and the Abyss within it.
The cost for either side to sever the connection had become huge. It would mean abandoning a large number of laws.
The Abyssal Sage King could perhaps be generous and casually discard the Abyss's energy, but he could not cut its laws.
Cutting them would deal unimaginable damage to the Abyss.
So, under normal circumstances, the Abyssal Sage King would certainly focus on this, curse loudly, and even try to stop Su Ming.
However, this was not a normal circumstance.
The Abyssal Sage King's gaze was fixed on the emerald-green tree Su Ming had planted.
A subsidiary body of the Tree of Life!
The Abyssal Sage King's breathing became rapid.
He even overlooked the fact that Su Ming had transformed the spatial channel.
Now, only one thought filled his mind: seize it!
Previously, the bait Su Ming had offered was only the second-growth branches in the Abyss Bracelets.
What could those tiny branches do?
The Abyssal Sage King had obtained several bracelets and naturally studied them. He found they couldn't achieve the effect he wanted. The secondary growth of those branches had basically reached their limit. They had no potential to become the core of the Abyss's seventeenth layer, nor the qualification to develop into a new Tree of Life.
But now, the Abyssal Sage King could clearly determine that the subsidiary body Su Ming had planted could!
If he could obtain this subsidiary body, he could certainly transform it into an Abyss-belonging Tree of Life within the Abyss!
"Su Ming, oh Su Ming, you've really gotten arrogant. It's simply because I'm wary of the God Realm behind you that you can bully me like this."
The Abyssal Sage King certainly knew why Su Ming dared to do this.
Nothing more than because he valued the Abyss's reluctance to fight back and wanted to expand his gains.
Previously, Spirit Masters had to devour Abyssal energy through the sequence of Bracelet → Abyssal Gate → Tree of Life, which inevitably incurred loss.
Now, Su Ming was bypassing the cross-space step, planting a subsidiary body of the Tree of Life directly in the channel.
"Wisdom Monarch. Within three months, my Abyssal army will regain control of at least half of the territory within the channel!"
He was going to take the bait.
Of course, the Abyssal Sage King was also forcing himself to calm down, not to act impulsively.
Therefore, he set a three-month timeframe and entrusted this task to the Wisdom Monarch, rather than handling it himself, to avoid acting rashly.
The Wisdom Monarch accepted the task with a bitter expression.
With Su Ming on the other side disregarding conventions, he was truly afraid too.
The Monarchs of the top ten Abyssal layers were all reluctant to enter the channel, worried that Su Ming might disregard conventions and plot against them.
It was supposed to be soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals. Yet Su Ming, relying on the God Realm's backing, directly descended to fight lower-level opponents.
But since the Sage King had spoken, they had no choice but to comply.
"External armies can also enter now. Now this is truly a battlefield."
Even the Abyssal channel of Douluo 3, after millennia of expansion, was not as large as the current Douluo 2 channel.
Su Ming stood beneath the subsidiary body of the Tree of Life, communicating with Electrolux in his Sea of Consciousness.
This fusion of the Necromancer Demiplane into the spatial channel was, naturally, done with Electrolux's permission.
Moreover, this fusion was not only to further expand the battlefield but also to create an opportunity for Electrolux to revive.
"Elder, are you sure you don't want to find a suitable body?"
Su Ming made a final inquiry to Electrolux.
Electrolux's expressions howed anticipation, yet also a trace of unease, as if reminiscing about something.
"No need. Since I am reviving, I will start anew from the beginning. I don't need some ready-made powerful body. My own insights are the most powerful force."
With these words, the trace of unease he had felt also subsided.
He was going to revive!
Electrolux's gaze gradually grew firm. The memories and attachments to his past life on the Holy Demon Continent faded, replaced by anticipation for a new future.
In this moment, he returned to the state of "holding the sun and moon, plucking the stars, there is none like me in this world."
The next instant, Electrolux vanished from Su Ming's Sea of Consciousness.
Even Su Ming didn't know where he had gone or exactly how he would revive.
The current channel was now a small planar channel, its foundation the Necromancer Demiplane. Electrolux possessed considerable authority within it.
If he didn't reveal himself, Su Ming couldn't find him.
"Another matter settled."
Reviving Elder Electrolux had been a significant weight on Su Ming's mind.
Now, he had accomplished it.
The scene of intercepting Electrolux from Huo Yuhao was still vivid in his mind.
Since then, Electrolux had played an important role in Su Ming's cultivation.
Even with the Trinity, Su Ming's rise owed much to Elder Electrolux.
Regarding the study of faith alone, three-tenths of Su Ming's techniques for mobilizing it could be attributed to Elder Electrolux.
Furthermore, Elder Electrolux shielding Tang San's divine sense probes for Su Ming was key to Su Ming's steady development until now.
Without Elder Electrolux, there would be no Su Ming today.
He didn't regret seizing Huo Yuhao's opportunity; he was instead glad he had made that decision.
Not only had he benefited.
But Elder Electrolux had also escaped his fate in the original story.
He hadn't been squeezed dry of his last bit of value. He had even restored his spiritual origin and was preparing to be reborn in the most complete state!
"Su Ming, what have you done now?"
Di Rui's voice interrupted Su Ming's reflections.
"I feel my cultivation is breakthrough again."
Since becoming Su Ming's Spirit Soul, Di Rui had been diligently cultivating.
But how could her own cultivation compare to the feedback from Su Ming every time changing fate?
This time, with Electrolux's fate completely reversed, Di Rui was greeted by a large wave of feedback.
Following Di Rui's words, Su Ming perceived his sixth Spirit Ring, amazement flashing in his eyes.
The Spirit Ring's age had increased by a full one hundred thousand years!
His eyes widened. His perspective continuously rose, quickly entering the River of Time perspective.
Trinity!
All three bodies simultaneously looked at the river, catching the fluctuations of fate.
Such a large feedback could not appear out of thin air. He needed to capture that wave to gain a deeper understanding of fate.
