Chapter 82: The Heart of the World Tree

Origin Star Universe, the Heart of the World Tree.

Within the resplendent, solemn, and majestic hall—

As the central nexus of the Origin Star Universe and the sleeping place of the Creator, this location is always guarded by a Battle Sovereign—specifically, an Original Battle Sovereign.

But unlike the usual sight of the mighty, thousand-meter-long dragon coiled within the hall…

At this moment, only a tiny figure sat in the center of the vast hall.

With the Dragon Emperor away, the Elf King Yifeisi stood in as the guardian of this sacred and solemn hall.

Even after existing for so long, this was Yifeisi’s first time replacing the Dragon Emperor to guard the World Tree’s Heart. Or rather, since his birth, this was the first time the Dragon Emperor had left this place in his true form.

This caught Yifeisi somewhat off guard. Originally, he had intended to personally go to the edge of the Chaotic Zone to stop the humanoid outer-domain Battle Sovereign who had entered the Origin Star Universe and eliminate him.

He did not want that fellow—who seemed to have some special relationship with Little Seven—to meet her. That child, in her current state, had no memory of reincarnation and her mind might not yet be mature. She had never personally experienced the dangers of the outer domain.

More importantly, she had not yet obtained the restrictions of the precepts. In this era, she acted entirely on her own consciousness.

The possibility of being deceived was… a bit… not low…

What if—just what if—she was seduced by that outer-domain guy? That would be the greatest joke.

Not only would the Original Battle Sovereign lose all dignity, but even the Mother Goddess’s prestige would be affected.

And besides… he himself wouldn’t say it out loud, but it wasn’t easy to gain a companion. He couldn’t just lose her like that.

Yifeisi could not tolerate this happening. So early on, he had deployed numerous fixed-point teleportation formations across that star region using his own spiritual power.

But he didn’t know why this time, Big Brother Dragon Emperor would go against his usual habit and personally decide to stop this humanoid Battle Sovereign from the outer domain. In the past, there had been invasions by humanoid Battle Sovereigns, but Big Brother had always calmly guarded the hall.

Could it be for Little Sister?

This truly puzzled Yifeisi. But since it was Big Brother’s proposal, he had no reason to refuse. He directly teleported the Dragon Emperor to the border of the Chaotic Zone through his own magic array.

And he himself temporarily took over guarding the World Tree’s Heart.

However, to be honest, this hall was filled with the Mother Goddess’s aura. It felt warm and intimate. Staying here long-term would never be boring.

(The following is in Elvish)

“Really! That huge, terrifying fireball just… vanished out of nowhere! Amazing!!”

The Second Princess of the Elven race, Fule Ai, exclaimed excitedly, her eyes sparkling.

She reported through her three-dimensional communication image to the Elf King.

Watching this little girl who had completely forgotten royal etiquette, Yifeisi shook his head helplessly. He was too lazy to reprimand her again. He would let her mother handle it. This one never remembered the things he told her.

Poor Fule Ai had no idea that she was about to be tattled on by this existence she regarded as a father figure. The twenty-eight forms of courtly etiquette education were already unavoidable.

She continued to excitedly describe her experiences around Blue Star.

“Lord Yifeisi! You have no idea—that newborn Battle Sovereign has incredible physical strength! He actually swung that heavyweight Celestial Prison Beast Leviathan around like a toy! And he could withstand…”

“Alright, my little princess, you haven’t forgotten about observation magic, have you? I’ve been watching the whole time. And besides me, all the major civilizations are keeping an eye on it.”

Yifeisi chuckled lightly and waved his hand to end the topic.

Of course, he had seen Lin Ling’s battle. Her robust physique indeed impressed him. And after unleashing her power, Lin Ling’s physical capabilities had undergone a terrifying leap. It seemed that in the future, she could become another formidable combat power guarding the Origin Star Universe.

“Oh, by the way, isn’t a Battle Sovereign’s strength usually heavily tied to their race’s power? Humans are so fragile, but that Battle Sovereign doesn’t seem as… ordinary as we imagined?”

Full of curiosity, Fule Ai continued to press on, acting like a playful child. If other elves were present, they would find this princess completely different from the elegant royalty of legend.

Heh, after all, she’s still a child. Considering she barely escaped with her life this time, I’ll let it slide and let her mother handle it.

Yifeisi thought to himself.

“How could the Creator’s masterpiece be ordinary?”

But Yifeisi already had a rough guess. Humans are different from dragons and the Abyss race, which have massive bodies. They don’t have wings like the Celestial Feather race or the Life Corridor within elves to store more spiritual power. Moreover, due to their environment lacking spiritual power, human cells had insufficient storage capacity for spiritual power after racial evolution. But perhaps because of this, a large amount of Holy Spirit Power flooded into that ordinary body, combining with its cells, resulting in an extraordinary density of Holy Spirit Power within the body. That was what shaped Little Seven’s powerful physique.

We might have thought too simply before.

Moreover, Little Seven’s eyes seem to hide something special…

As Yifeisi was slightly lost in thought, Fule Ai’s questions continued.

“So, Lord Yifeisi, how did you guess that there would be an outer domain invasion? And how was the Mother Goddess’s barrier broken? Also, is that newborn Battle Sovereign attribute-less?”

…Good heavens…

With a slightly alarmed look at the still-curious Fule Ai, Yifeisi quickly changed the subject. This girl had been talking for so long. If he let her continue, his ears wouldn’t get any peace.

“Alright, alright. Don’t you have something important to discuss with me? Don’t waste time.”

“Oh! Oh!”

Hearing Yifeisi’s words, the Second Princess finally remembered her main purpose for coming.

“Well, that is… if we establish diplomatic relations with humans in the future, can I go to Blue Star as an ambassador? Don’t worry! I’ll definitely do a good job!”

Fule Ai asked nervously and cautiously.

???

“Shouldn’t you ask your mother about this? And why do you suddenly want to go to Blue Star?”

“It’s just… well… if you approve, Mother definitely won’t object. Besides, I want to see my savior and express my gratitude. After all, she saved me…”

Fule Ai lowered her head a little sheepishly and played with the ends of her hair.

“If you hadn’t been so careless and not noticed the Snake Dragon’s energy changes in advance, would you have ended up like this?”

“Ah! I know I was wrong! I was distracted by that Battle Sovereign! It’s not like I did it on purpose…”

The Second Princess defended herself in a small, weak voice.

“Let’s leave it at that for now. We’ll discuss this later. I have important matters to attend to.”

“Huh? How can this be!” Obviously, the Second Princess was not satisfied with this outcome.

But when she saw the Elf King’s expression return to its usual solemn and serious look, Fule Ai realized this was not the time to act spoiled. She could only hang up the call reluctantly.

After turning off the video projection, the Elf King stood up.

He calmly stared at the dark red teleportation array that suddenly appeared in the center of the hall.

As the mixed spiritual array of dark and fire attributes began to operate, the runes on the array shone with a red light. A void-like, profound spatial passage appeared inside the hall.

The oppressive aura emanating from it was enough to make all creatures prostrate themselves.

Even Yifeisi himself often envied and marveled at this peerless supreme power.

The next moment,

A four-legged dragon covered in dark red scales slowly stepped out. Its four majestic dragon horns exuded a powerful, domineering aura and an air of sovereign rule over the world.

The moment its dragon claws touched the hall, an overbearing dragon might instantly swept through the entire hall. If any ordinary creature were present, they would have died on the spot.

The eighteen towering pillars in the hall also began to crack to varying degrees, but were soon repaired by the healing power of the World Tree’s Heart.

For ordinary buildings, they would have been unable to escape collapse.

Such dominance was enough to earn the admiration of all the powerful figures in the Origin Star Universe.

“Even when suppressing his power, this is still so terrifying!” Yifeisi lowered his head and sighed from the bottom of his heart.
