Douluo: I founded the mecha tribe and I am the king of mecha battles!

Chapter 171 Planetary Spirituality

As one of the former Supreme Mentors of the Supreme Hall of the Boundless Universe, one of the founders of the Supreme Meditation Method of the Alchemist lineage of the Supreme Hall, the strongest alchemist in the Transmutation system, the pinnacle of forbidden alchemy, an unprecedentedly wanted dangerous individual in the history of the Supreme Hall, and one of the top five in the Boundless Universe's One-on-One Challenge Ranking.
At this moment, Chen Zhou was in sync with the soul beneath his spiritual sea. He slowly stretched out his hand, and the array patterns within the alchemy array multiplied wildly. Each inscription of an alchemy array pattern made the array's light shine even brighter, as if illuminating the entire night sky. The Xuanhuang Stone trembled slightly at the center of the alchemy array, as if responding to Chen Zhou's call.

Life is on the horizon, and the Star God has descended!
Under the influence of the alchemy array, the Xuanhuang Stone transformed into a round sphere, resembling a miniature planet, suspended in Chen Zhou's palm. The sphere's surface shimmered with Xuanhuang light, while its interior contained boundless earth vein power, like a star god being conceived.

Chen Zhou's gaze was fixed on the miniature planet, a deep light flashing in his eyes.

With a thought, the light of the alchemical array suddenly receded, and all the energy converged towards the miniature planet, condensing on its outer hard surface and transforming into chains of order. As they circulated, they continuously drew upon the ley lines energy that had been channeled from beneath the hills.

After doing all this, in no more than ten seconds, Chen Zhou's face had already lost all color, and the exhaustion from the depths of his soul returned once again.

The crimson-gold soul at the deepest part of the spiritual sea, once again from a state of perfect harmony, began to break apart bit by bit.

Cracks appeared on the surface of the soul, and fragments of the soul swirled around it like stardust.

I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep once more.
"Whoo~"

Chen Zhou slowly exhaled, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

The wounds to my soul are growing deeper and deeper.
But this is not without meaning.

Everything was going according to Chen Zhou's plan, without any deviation!

On a seaside night, the sky is as dark as ink, dotted with countless stars like a cascading Milky Way. Low hills lie quietly between the sea and sky, like the spine of the earth, bearing endless mystery and weight.

Above it, a round, yellowish-brown stone stands quietly. Though inconspicuous, it exudes vitality, as if the essence of heaven and earth has gathered here.

On the surface of the stone, countless lines crisscross, like dragons and snakes coiling, or mountains and rivers rising and falling. Each line seems to tell an ancient legend, engraving the marks of time. Upon closer inspection, one can see that within those lines, there are chains of divine order, like silk threads, appearing and disappearing, as if maintaining some mysterious power and protecting the peace of this land.

Life force was constantly being stimulated inside the stone. The thick, dark yellow energy swirled like clouds and mist, sometimes condensing and sometimes dispersing, as if it were nurturing some great existence.

Strands of earth vein energy soared from beneath the hills, like dragons rising to the heavens or phoenixes dancing in the sky, intertwining with the primordial energy to create a magnificent spectacle.

At this moment, the stone seemed no longer an ordinary rock, but rather the embodiment of the planet's will, bearing the weight of the earth and the spirit of heaven and earth. It stood silently atop the hill, as if waiting for something.
Central region of the continent, Shrek City, Shrek Academy, Poseidon Island, the Golden Tree!

The ancient tree trunk, though appearing as a lush, golden tree, was in reality weak and decaying inside. Deep within its heart, a faint light flickered, as if struggling to maintain its last breath. However, this light gradually dimmed, as if it might be extinguished at any moment.

The Golden Tree, as the symbol of Shrek Academy, carries the faith and hope of countless generations of Shrek students. However, at this moment, it seems to be silently telling of some unknown crisis.

Inside the Sea God Pavilion, Yun Ming stood quietly before the Golden Ancient Tree, his brow furrowed, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes. As the current Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion at Shrek Academy, he understood the importance of the Golden Ancient Tree better than anyone else. It was not merely an ancient tree, but the spiritual symbol of Shrek Academy, even the core of the entire Shrek Academy's defensive system. The weakening of the Golden Ancient Tree meant that the foundation of Shrek Academy was crumbling. "Is the loss of the Golden Ancient Tree's power still unstoppable?"

Yun Ming murmured to himself, his voice heavy with emotion. He could clearly sense that the life force of the Golden Ancient Tree was draining away at an irreversible rate. This draining was not a natural phenomenon, but rather some external force eroding the core of the Golden Ancient Tree.

This phenomenon has existed for a long time, but for some reason, the rate of loss today is so rapid.
Yun Ming recalled his meeting with Huo Wuji six months ago. At that time, Huo Wuji came to Shrek Academy alone and had a seemingly calm but turbulent meeting with him. Huo Wuji's attitude was calm and unhurried, even with a hint of disdain, as if Shrek Academy was nothing more than an old force about to be eliminated by the times.

Yun Ming did not take Huo Wuji's attitude to heart at the time. After all, Shrek Academy, as the number one academy on the continent, had a profound foundation and was far beyond the reach of a new force.

However, the decline of the golden tree now worries him greatly.

But at this moment, the golden tree seemed to sense something, and an emotion like joy and delight leaped out, which Yun Ming, standing nearby, could not help but feel.

Is it possible?
The golden ancient tree is about to revive!

Yun Ming was overjoyed. As the foundation of Shrek Academy, the existence of the Golden Ancient Tree allowed Shrek Academy to possess abundant spiritual energy that was uniquely superior to ordinary places, making meditation and cultivation twice as effective.

If the Golden Tree truly revives itself, it means Shrek Academy will achieve new glory in his generation!
Yun Ming immediately left to share this good news with the other members of the Sea God Pavilion.

But just as Yun Ming left, a ray of spiritual light emanated from the core of the golden ancient tree, soaring up with vitality and spirituality and speeding eastward!

At the core of the world, at a crucial juncture of fusion, Ah Yin suddenly frowned, as if sensing something. She gritted her teeth and called out to Tang Hao, who was also fusing with the core of the world not far away, "Brother Hao, come and help me!"

"Ah Yin, what happened?"

Upon hearing Ah Yin's call, Tang Hao immediately opened his eyes and sensed that the energy within Ah Yin's body, which had been steadily increasing, was being reduced at an extremely rapid pace. He immediately and hastily interrupted his own fusion process and rushed to Ah Yin's side.

"The final spirit of the ancient golden tree has detached from its physical form."

"The core of the world is now forcibly extracting my energy to maintain its own existence!"

Ah Yin's voice carried a hint of anxiety, and her face gradually turned pale, clearly indicating that the energy in her body was being rapidly drained away.

Upon hearing this, Tang Hao's expression changed drastically. He immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.
