Ultraman: Invincible from Saving Tiga.

Chapter 431 Lin Yu: Tree of Life, why not come and sit in my Rainbow Magic Realm?

Under the Tree of Life.

Seeing Kai's state, Jugglus sighed deeply, put his hand to his forehead, and looked like he didn't know this idiot.

"Kai, sometimes I really wonder how you've managed to survive in the universe until now."

Jugglus's tone was full of disdain. "The legend of the Tree of Life is practically a bestseller in the universe. You should at least read one of them."

"Huh? There's such a book?" Kai was even more confused.

"Each fruit of the Tree of Life contains a vast amount of life essence and wisdom."

Suppressing the urge to retort, Jugglus Juggler explained, "Just by eating one, you'll receive a comprehensive enhancement. Your strength will increase, your speed will increase, and even your mind will become smarter."

At this point, he gave Kai a thorough once-over.

"A guy like you should eat a few more to replenish your strength."

"so smart?"

Kai's eyes lit up instantly. He looked up at the tree laden with fruit and unconsciously licked his lips. "Is it... delicious?"

Jugglus's expression froze completely.

He remained silent for a full three seconds, then abruptly turned around, his back to Kai.

“I don’t know him, really.”

Takayama Gamu and Fujimiya Hiroya's lips twitched, unsure of what to say.

In the slightly awkward atmosphere, Lin Yu, who had been silent, slowly lost his smile.

He raised his head and gazed at the sacred giant tree, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable air of questioning.

"tree of Life."

His voice wasn't loud, but it resonated clearly in everyone's ears.

"To produce these fruits, you almost drained the energy of the entire Earth."

"If I hadn't combined the power of the four of them at the last moment to give you as 'fertilizer,' this planet would probably be a lifeless desert by now."

Lin Yu's expression was very serious.

"Does your behavior deserve to be called the 'source of wisdom in the universe'?"

"This is clearly creating a death star."

"Have you ever considered that there are billions of inhabitants living on this planet? Your actions have gone too far."

His words struck everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer.

Just now, everyone was immersed in the joy of victory and the fruit of the Tree of Life, but subconsciously ignored the chilling price behind it.

If Lin Yu hadn't turned the tide, what would have become of Earth...?

Takayama Gamu and Fujimiya Hiroya's expressions instantly turned ugly.

As guardians of Earth, they knew better than anyone that Earth was just one step away from complete annihilation.

You dare to attack Earth? You're no ordinary enemy. If I don't bring out the Supreme Gaia to loosen your muscles, you'll really think you can do whatever you want on Earth.

Just then, the iridescent patterns on the trunk of the Tree of Life began to converge.

A hazy female figure, composed of light, slowly emerged from the tree trunk.

The female figure formed by the light and shadow had soft features and a transcendent divinity. Her voice was ethereal and resonant, echoing directly in everyone's minds.

“I did not intend to destroy, but followed my instincts.”

"Rooting, absorbing, bearing fruit, giving back... this is the cycle of my existence."

She looked at Lin Yu, seemingly responding to his earlier question.

"The planet I take root on will receive a return several times greater than the energy absorbed after I bear fruit. The entire planet's life system will be elevated and evolved as a result."

Lin Yu was taken aback.

"Holy crap, you can actually spit out the energy you eat?"

This was the first time he had ever heard of such a thing.

"Yes."

The tree spirit nodded slightly, "The more ley line energy you absorb, the more higher-level life energy you will give back. This planet will become more vibrant than ever before."

"I see."

As if struck by a sudden realization, Takayama Gamu excitedly added, "If that's the case, then Earth's ecosystem will not only recover, but may even become better than before! Many extinct species may reappear in this energy feedback!"

"It's not just about ecology."

The tree spirit continued to explain, "When the planet's energy reaches a certain critical point, all life forms on this planet will passively evolve into more powerful species."

"Ganon..."

Suddenly, Jugglus spoke up, stepping forward thoughtfully. "Is Ganon like this too?"

The tree spirit looked at him and nodded slightly.

"The inhabitants of that planet did indeed evolve because of me."

Lin Yu's lips twitched violently.

Good guys, the case is solved!
He finally understood why Ganon was such a strange place.

Despite having a social structure that remains at the level of an ancient matriarchal clan society, their technological level is ridiculously high.

On one side are the queen and her guards dressed in ancient costumes and wielding samurai swords, and on the other side is a spaceship capable of spatial teleportation.

On one side are feudal villages scattered throughout the planet, where residents live in simple mud houses; on the other side are exquisite palaces filled with futuristic technology, where the queen resides.

Even the place where Captain Senro, a serious criminal, is imprisoned is on another planet in a distant galaxy.

This extremely fragmented form of civilization is utterly absurd. It turns out that the reason those Ganonians could achieve superhuman levels of technology and advance at breakneck speed, yet their social structure lagged behind, was because of you—the tree!
A civilization forcibly matured!
Lin Yu and Jugglus exchanged a glance, both seeing a deep sense of shock and understanding in each other's expressions.

"So that's it..."

Kai suddenly realized, "No wonder Queen Amaterasu and the others are so powerful."

"But this evolution also seems to have brought about endless conflicts."

Fujimiya Hiroya frowned; his thoughts ran deeper than the others.

Because I've been through it myself.

A faint sadness emanated from the tree spirit.

"Yes."

"I am both the starting point of life's evolution and the source of cosmic conflict."

"Since my birth, I have been coveted and plundered by various races in the universe. Even different life forms that evolved on a single planet would wage a fierce war to fight for ownership of me."

"Ganon was also plunged into a long period of internal strife because of this."

"The God of War, representing humanity, waged a final war against Quinn, representing the beasts, and in the end, the God of War emerged victorious."

[The upper body is that of a war god, and the lower body being trampled upon is Baal-Zib.]

Lin Yu understood.

So your evolution aura is just a passively triggered area-of-effect effect.

If they just stay by your side, after a few years, even a monkey could probably fly a spaceship out of the solar system.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a treasure that may be unique even in the multiverse; its value is truly outrageous.

He glanced back at the distant defense forces that were regrouping.

Then I thought about the more than one hundred countries on this planet that are still wary of each other and even have occasional friction.

Lin Yu sighed helplessly.

"The situation on this planet is far more complex than that on Ganon."

Lin Yu pointed to the distant horizon and shrugged at the tree spirit.

"This place is not yet fully unified. There are more than a hundred countries and forces eyeing each other covetously. Once they realize your importance, I guarantee that they won't even need aliens to come and steal it; they will fight a global war for you on their own."

By then, let alone beating a dog out of its brain, they'll beat a person to death.

This is the evolution of life, which is more important than money or power, because the evolution of life is all-encompassing. Vision, hearing, muscle activity, and even the strength of internal organs will all experience a qualitative leap, not to mention the most crucial factor: lifespan.

The tree spirit's answer remained calm, even indifferent.

"War is a selection process. After the battle, the race that ultimately wins will become the most powerful life form on this planet. They will inherit my power, have the right to enter the universe, and possess a new power to protect this planet."

Lin Yu was so angry at her social Darwinist theory that he laughed.

"I can go to you!"

He retorted without hesitation, "You tree, is your brain only about evolution and selection? You have no human emotions at all."

"I don't want to see a global war break out on this planet! I don't want to see countless innocent people die in your so-called 'selection'! Do you understand?"

The tree spirit fell silent; she seemed unable to comprehend Lin Yu's anger.

Throughout her long life, she witnessed the rise and fall of too many civilizations and the cycle of wars; this set of laws had long been etched into her very being.

"tree of Life."

Lin Yu took a deep breath; he knew that reasoning with this tree was pointless.

The expression on his face became more serious than ever before.

“Your power is far too great, and far too dangerous. I cannot leave you here.”

Takayama Gamu and Fujimiya Hiroya's hearts jumped instantly.

"Mr. Lin Yu, what... what do you want to do?" Gao Shanwo asked nervously.

Does he intend to... destroy the Tree of Life?
Kai and Jugglus also gathered around; they both sensed that Lin Yu seemed to be about to make a major decision.

"Since your existence will only cause endless disputes."

Lin Yu looked at the tree spirit and spoke slowly.

"Then... how about we transplant you to another place?"

"transplant?"

For the first time, a look of astonishment appeared on the tree spirit's face, which was composed of light and shadow.

She seemed to have never imagined that anyone would propose such a solution.

Yes, transplant.

Lin Yu chuckled and snapped his fingers. "I'll move you from this universe to another place."

"What will happen?" the tree spirit asked instinctively.

"Nothing will happen."

Lin Yu's smile turned somewhat sly. "Anyway, you've pretty much completed your mission of spreading life and wisdom in this universe. Isn't it the same if you go somewhere else?"

"Come on, let me introduce you to a good place."

Lin Yu spread his arms wide, like an enthusiastic real estate agent.

“I have a place called ‘Rainbow Wonderland,’ which is an independent alternate dimension. It’s a beautiful place with clear waters and gentle breezes, but… there are no animals or plants, it’s just a barren wasteland. It’s exactly what we need: a towering tree like you to liven things up and do some landscaping.”

Everyone present, including the tree spirit, was petrified.
