Douluo: Traveling Through the Universe, Reversing Time and Space

Chapter 579 World Tree, Star Moon God King

Shi Yu carefully sensed and figured out some of the changes in his strength within this place.

Overall, there are not many changes, only a few things to pay attention to, and they are relatively easy to adapt to and adjust to.

What benefits could there be in this?

Shi Yu was curious, as this was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and he had never seen it in books either, with almost no known information about it.

He could only rely on his intuition to try to go in one direction, hiding in the depths of space, not appearing to the outside world.

They quickly sensed the commotion coming from ahead; the divine power fluctuations were intense, suggesting that more than one deity was making a move.

He felt a chill run down his spine, becoming more cautious while also anticipating what might happen next, as he thought he might be the one to reap the rewards.

As he got closer, he was somewhat disappointed; his plan to be the fisherman was likely to fall through.

Because it was indeed a group of gods who were making a move, but they were not fighting each other; instead, they were joining forces to use their divine power to nourish a tree with a strange shape.

He felt a flutter in his heart at just one glance at this tree; it was like love at first sight.

This is certainly not love at first sight between a man and a woman, but rather an instinctive desire for a treasure.

It's obvious without much thought that this divine tree is a priceless treasure, and obtaining it would undoubtedly bring great benefits.

He observed carefully, hiding his true intentions, trying to figure out exactly what was going on.

There were forty-five deities sitting around the sacred tree, the strongest being a first-level god and the weakest a priest.

These deities silently emanate their divine power without speaking, thus depriving him of a source of information.

As he observed, he gradually understood that these people were using divine power to irrigate the sacred tree, and the sacred tree would change as their power was used to irrigate it.

Sometimes the fire attribute of the divine tree is clearly dominant, sometimes it becomes water attribute dominant, and there are other attribute variations as well; it is not fixed.

This tree is probably in its final shaping stage. Anyone can try to shape the divine tree, and its ownership should belong to the deity corresponding to the final fixed attribute.

"How can I make it have spatial attributes? Or time attributes would also be fine."

Shi Yu pondered. If the divine tree's attribute became earth, even if he managed to obtain the metal attribute, it wouldn't be of much use.

Making its attributes spatial or temporal would be most useful for it, maximizing its value.

With so many deities surrounding him, how could he channel his power into the divine tree?

"The only option left is to try to enter the divine tree."

After much thought, Shi Yu came up with a relatively feasible solution.

With his current mastery of spatial manipulation, he could shrink himself to the size of a speck of dust.

As long as the divine tree isn't completely seamless, he has a way to enter its interior space.

He boldly gave it a try, and was prepared to run away decisively if he failed.

They were very careful and kept their presence to a minimum.

After expending tremendous effort and sweating profusely, they finally managed to enter the interior of the sacred tree.

His body shrunk to the size of a microparticle, making it difficult for even a god to detect him in this state without using divine sense.

"It really doesn't feel comfortable."

Shi Yu thought to himself, this was the first time he had ever tried to shrink his body to such a small size.

He quickly focused, thought for a moment, and simultaneously channeled his time and space power.

If possible, he would still like to try to transform this divine tree into a state that possesses both temporal and spatial attributes.

If that's not possible, then as a second-best option, choose to convert it to a time attribute.

Both time and space are powerful, but if we have to compare them, the time attribute is more powerful.

This is also the attribute he wants to explore more deeply. He doesn't necessarily want to understand it completely, but at least he wants to master it to a degree that allows him to be free from the constraints of time—that is, immortality. He wants true immortality, not the kind of immortality that is achieved by using divine matter to prolong life in the realm of gods.

Such immortality is ultimately not a long-term solution; losing divine matter would be extremely fatal.

Furthermore, divine substances are like medicine; long-term use will cause the body to develop resistance, and the effects will become less and less effective until life can no longer be extended, at which point death will occur.

Gods do not die of old age naturally; they too will eventually reach the end of their lifespan, it's just that the time will be much longer, often millions of years.

His output of time and space power seemed to sink without a trace, having no effect on the divine tree.

Shi Yu wasn't in a hurry and patiently kept trying. After several hours, the properties of the divine tree eventually changed.

"How can the attributes of time and space arise out of thin air?"

One of the first-level gods exclaimed in surprise, keenly sensing the changes in the World Tree.

The other deities also showed expressions of confusion.

They do not have deities with time and space attributes here, and the generation of these attributes should be irrelevant to them.

"The divine tree is wondrous, and its changes are beyond words. The addition of two supreme attributes is not a bad thing for us, as long as they do not become dominant."

One of the first-level gods spoke up, his eyes burning with fervor. His divine power was more widely recognized by the divine tree, making him the most likely to become the last person to possess the divine tree.

The World Tree is a rare species that may only be born once every million years. Merging with it can bring immense fortune, and a first-level god like him has a greater than 50% chance of breaking through to the God King realm.

That is, the current ruler of this plane—the Star Moon God King—has already merged with a World Tree; otherwise, the great opportunity from this tree would not have come their way.

These deities did not notice anything unusual, simply assuming that the properties of time and space were naturally occurring and beneficial to them.

However, as the time and space attributes continued to strengthen, they began to frown and realized that something was wrong.

"My time and space attributes seem to be particularly favored by this world tree."

Shi Yu was amazed, feeling that this divine tree was sentient and could distinguish between superior and inferior attributes.

Fire and ice attributes aren't bad in themselves, but compared to time and space, they fall short and are completely insignificant.
He couldn't compete with the gods outside in terms of pure divine power, but his advantage lay in his sufficiently advanced attributes.

Among the attributes of the Divine Tree, it seems that the stronger the divine power, the greater the influence; it is also linked to the quality of the attribute.

His time and space attributes are highly favored by the Divine Tree. Now, the Divine Tree's time and space attributes are showing a trend of catching up and are already among the top five of all attributes.

Before him were the divine powers possessed by three first-level gods: fire, light, and destruction.

Of these three attributes, destruction is the most prominent, and the divine tree shows a tendency to evolve into a tree of destruction.

"If this trend continues, we won't be able to merge with this divine tree if it evolves into a pure time divine tree or a space divine tree."

The first-level god of destruction spoke in a deep voice, urging the other gods to work together to find a way to prevent this from happening.

Some deities appeared to be deep in thought, but inwardly they sneered. Since their chances of obtaining the divine tree were already negligible, why bother trying to find a way?

They simply gave up; since they couldn't get it themselves, they might as well give up on it altogether.

Most of the gods calmed down after figuring things out, but the three first-level gods who were most likely to gain the approval of the divine tree were the most anxious.

They racked their brains to come up with solutions and started trying them out, but none of them could affect the growth of the time and space attributes.

"Fortunately, this divine tree is intelligent enough to know that time and space attributes are the best, otherwise you would have really stopped it."

Shi Yu breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't that he had withstood the methods of these three first-level gods, but rather that the divine tree itself resisted their methods and did not want to be affected by them.

Transforming its own attributes into time and space attributes is an excellent choice, even the best choice, for the divine tree itself, and it naturally cannot allow it to be destroyed by anyone.

Just when Shi Yu thought he was about to obtain the divine tree, the ruler of this world, the Star Moon God King, arrived.

His arrival sent chills down Shi Yu's spine, giving him a strong sense of crisis.

Everyone held their breath, afraid that even a slight movement or a deep breath might give them away.
