Dimension Demon's Chat Group

Chapter 260 Cultivating the World Tree

Upon hearing this, Gu Yi immediately realized that this guy was definitely after the knowledge contained in Varna and Karu's souls.

His face darkened, and he said irritably, "The black magic that Varna possesses all originates from the Dark Book. If you are interested in this forbidden knowledge, just ask to borrow it as soon as possible. Why covet these two souls?"

"..."

Lin Yu thought for a moment and nodded, "That's true!"

His main reason for making this suggestion was that the prison had just been built, and he subconsciously wanted to arrest some prisoners to fill the vacancies.

But upon hearing the Ancient One's words, Lin Yu suddenly felt that imprisoning Varna and Karu in his own prison was somewhat desperate and would lower his prestige considerably.

Putting aside those taboo topics, these two guys are, after all, just dark wizards on Earth.

In terms of both soul strength and racial aptitude, he is far inferior to Dormammu, who was born as an extradimensional energy being.

If we make them cellmates with Dormammu, they'll probably have mental breakdowns and take their own lives within a few days...

Thinking of this, Lin Yu chuckled and said, "Alright, I can give you these two guys. But if you encounter any troublesome opponents in the future, especially someone like Dormammu, don't forget about me!"

That's as if you defeated those two!
Gu Yi inwardly complained, but outwardly she still smiled slightly and said:

"Rest assured, with Lord Lin here, my Dark Exile will be even more powerful!"

Oh right, I almost forgot, this guy has this trick up his sleeve!
Lin Yu suddenly realized, and then exchanged a glance with Gu Yi.

The two exchanged a knowing smile, looking rather dishonest.

After a brief chat, the Ancient One took her leave and returned to Earth with the souls of the two dark wizards.

Lin Yu's golden core clone returned to his inner universe, while his dark dragon clone remained in the dark dimension, continuing to devour the authority and steadily advancing towards the throne of the dimensional lord.

……

……

The inner universe, the cosmic cavity where Lin Yu's dojo is located.

A golden core clone dressed in white floated in the air, looking down at the immortal mountains and palaces below. With a wave of his sleeve, he released a gray-black object about ten feet tall.

Judging from its texture, this object resembles a piece of withered tree trunk.

However, unlike its exterior, the interior of the tree trunk still seems to retain an extremely rich vitality, with many mysterious and complex runes faintly visible within.

“Runic script…”

Lin Yu stared intently at the withered tree, or more accurately, the remnant of the World Tree he had obtained from the Ancient One!

In Norse mythology, the World Tree is the core and symbol of the entire universe. Its body runs through the universe and carries the nine worlds, including Asgard and Midgard.

In the Marvel Universe, where various pantheons coexist, the World Tree naturally lost its place in Norse mythology.

Even so, it remains the core of the Nine Realms. Its appearance is that of a large tree spanning several dimensions, but its essence is an energy field that supports and connects the nine worlds.

Lin Yu was so interested in the World Tree because of its ability to support and evolve the world.

Of course, even without the World Tree, Lin Yu himself could still create an independent pocket universe using dimensional secret techniques.

However, such a pocket universe is incomplete and cannot be compared with the real world in terms of rules. It is more like an independent space attached to the inner universe.

It's different if it's the World Tree.

This thing can not only evolve the world, but also evolve the rules, giving birth to a strange existence called destiny!

This ability to evolve rules is undoubtedly a perfect tonic for Lin Yu, who is still growing.

Once he cultivates this World Tree, he will obtain nine evolved worlds with perfect rules, and by comprehending the entire process of world evolution, he will enhance his control over the universe within his body.

With that thought, Lin Yu no longer hesitated. With a wave of his hand, the withered remains of the World Tree flew towards the mountains below.

"Boom!!!"

In an instant, the mountain peak located in the very center of the continent rumbled and split open, revealing a narrow and deep crack.

As the gray-black remains of the World Tree disappeared into it, the narrow crack slowly closed and eventually vanished.

At the same time, the boundless ocean of energy in the sky began to boil, and then split into torrents of energy, like the Milky Way pouring down from the heavens, surging into the mountain peak.

Under Lin Yu's precise perception and control, the vast energy frantically condensed within the mountain.

In the blink of an eye, a fountain of light, composed purely of energy, condensed and emerged, hidden within the mountain peak, flowing gently around the remains of the World Tree.

The energy contained in that fountain of light was so concentrated that the World Tree quickly began to recover its vitality after coming into contact with it.

The once withered tree trunk gradually became fuller, and the gray-black color on its surface gradually faded, revealing a vibrant dark brown.

About half a day later, the remains of the World Tree finally transformed into a normal-looking seedling as the energy stopped flowing.

Seeing this, Lin Yu couldn't help but show his delight.

But before he could make any further moves, a dark brown root extended from beneath the World Tree sapling and took root in the glowing energy spring!
Lin Yu's heart stirred, and he immediately began to observe the World Tree sapling's behavior with curiosity.

Its roots continuously absorbed the energy from the fountain of light, and while absorbing the energy, they also fed back an extremely strange power through the roots.

After this power surged into the Light Spring, the Spirit Spring, which was originally just a compressed energy source, suddenly flashed with light and gained an indescribable aura.

To put it somewhat inaccurately, these energies seemed to have suddenly acquired a kind of spirituality.

Moreover, this spirituality continues to grow stronger with the constant support and nourishment from the World Tree.

Over time, Lin Yu even suspected that this spiritual spring might one day give birth to truly intelligent life!
"As expected of the World Tree, it is truly amazing!"

Lin Yu was amazed and overjoyed by this phenomenon. After a moment's thought, he flicked his sleeve, and a crack about ten feet in size appeared in the center of the mountain.

Dense water vapor surged in from all directions, enveloping the spiritual spring of light gushing from the crack, transforming into a small waterfall shimmering with shimmering light as it rolled down.

At the same time, the ground below rumbled and sank, actually catching the water flow and condensing into a clear spring.

Lin Yu descended from the sky, raised his hand and grabbed the clear spring water, which immediately surged up and fell into the teacup in his hand.

Looking at the shimmering spring water in the teacup, Lin Yu tentatively took a sip.

In an instant, a rich and pure energy dissolved within his body.

Of course, the "richness" here is only relative to the spring water.

This amount of energy was insufficient for Lin Yu's Golden Core clone.

Therefore, what Lin Yu was most concerned about was actually the 'spirituality' contained in the spring water.

But for some reason, these 'spiritual' elements vanished instantly upon entering his body, like ice and snow in a raging fire, without bringing him any benefit whatsoever.

"It shouldn't be..."

Lin Yu frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he felt that it must be the reason on his part.

Thinking of this, he blinked, then turned his gaze and looked at the palace where the group members lived with ill intent.

At this moment, Su Haoming and the others were either in other worlds or in the Immortal Cultivation Academy. Apart from Lin Yu, only Lin Lie from the Marvel world remained in the entire training ground.

As a protagonist in a system-based game, Lin Lie's sword soul skills also require a certain level of proficiency.

At the same time, due to his rapid increase in strength, the training grounds originally located in the Marvel Universe could no longer meet his needs, and expanding them would be too troublesome and not worth the effort.

Therefore, whenever he intends to hone his sword skills and increase his proficiency, he will come to his inner universe and unleash his ultimate moves without restraint in this world with its obviously extremely high energy level.

Looking at the young man continuously unleashing sword energy in the palace, Lin Yu coughed and transmitted his voice, "Ah Lie?"

"...brother?"

Lin Lie stopped what he was doing and looked in the direction from which the sound came, looking slightly surprised.

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

"It's nothing much, I just got my hands on some good stuff. It might not be very effective for me, but it should be very useful for you..."

"Oh?"

Lin Lie's heart skipped a beat: "What good stuff?"

Lin Yu smiled and said, "So you're agreeing?"

Lin Lie was taken aback upon hearing this, then immediately became wary and quickly said, "I need to think about it some more..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Lie's vision blurred, and he was instantly teleported by Lin Yu to the side of the spiritual spring.

Looking at the smiling young man in white before him, Lin Lie's lips twitched, and he sighed resignedly, saying, "Alright, as long as it's not my brother's pills, everything else is negotiable!"

"..."

Lin Yu's smile froze, then he said irritably, "What's wrong with pills? I'm now an eighth-grade alchemist certified by Master Yao. Letting you help test the pills is already doing you a favor!"

"Big brother is right!"

Lin Lie gave a perfunctory reply, then looked at the glowing spring water beside him.

"Is this the good thing you were talking about, brother?"

"That's right!"

Lin Yu snapped his fingers, and a stream of water flew up and landed in the brand new teacup.

"Taste it?"

Lin Yu smiled and handed it to Lin Lie.

Lin Lie took the teacup, hesitated for a moment, and asked cautiously, "Won't something bad happen?"

"Don't worry!" Lin Yu patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "This is my training ground. Even if something really happens, I'm absolutely confident I can bring you back!"

That doesn't sound reassuring at all...

Lin Lie stared at Lin Yu speechlessly, then gritted his teeth and forced himself to drink it all in one gulp.

In an instant, rich and pure energy dissolved within his body, along with a strange power that was difficult to describe in words.

Lin Lie's eyes lit up, and he felt his spirit was nourished and his mind became incredibly clear.

Not only that, fragmented memories from past cultivation sessions flooded back into his mind, vividly replaying like a movie...

"Ding--"

"Gained temporary buff [Enlightenment Boost]!"

"what?!"

"It can actually improve comprehension?!"

The sudden system notification made Lin Lie exclaim in surprise.

Lin Yu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then suddenly realized and said, "The Mimir Spring!"
