General of the Heavens

Chapter 757 Extra: Snake God Realm [Part 1]

In the primordial world, in a hidden little world, countless souls shuttled back and forth. None of these souls had physical bodies; they were entirely in a soul state.

In the western part of the small world, there is a colossal tree that reaches the heavens. The tree is thousands of meters thick and tens of thousands of feet tall, lush and verdant, standing tall and upright.

A learned person would surely recognize this tree as the legendary Jianmu, a towering and majestic tree that reaches to the heavens.

The Jianmu tree takes root and continuously absorbs energy to nourish the earth, giving the small world abundant spiritual energy. It is the existence of the Jianmu tree that makes the small world so vibrant.

These wandering souls originally had no intelligence, but as they were nourished by spiritual energy, they gradually developed new intelligence over countless years.

However, as intelligence was awakened, conflicts accumulated, and chaos began to emerge in the small world, with countless people vying for cultivation resources and seizing territory.

Although Jianmu is rooted in the westernmost part of the small world, its special characteristics make the spiritual energy around it significantly more concentrated.

Moreover, the closer one gets to the Jianmu tree, the denser the spiritual energy becomes. If one is on the top of the Jianmu tree, it is even more extraordinary. Legend has it that there is a flat area at the very top of the towering Jianmu tree where the spiritual energy is almost condensed into liquid. It is the place with the densest spiritual energy in the world. However, no one has ever been able to return safely from the very top of the Jianmu tree.

The souls in the small world were extremely thirsty for spiritual energy. Finally, when a group of powerful souls united to explore the top of the Jianmu tree, terror appeared.

The top of the Jianmu tree is the abode of the gods. Many souls trespassed into the abode of the gods, angering them. At that moment, the gods were so angry that the heavens and earth changed color!

Those powerful souls were all annihilated by the gods, and only then did the souls in the small world realize that this world was ruled by the gods.

No one knows the name of that deity; there is only a rumor that one day a giant snake was seen coiled around the Tongtian Jianmu tree in the distance.

Over time, the deity came to be known as the Serpent God…

On this day, the Jianmu tree suddenly trembled, and the towering Jianmu tree, tens of thousands of feet tall, swayed precariously, while lightning fell from the sky.

In the small world, what souls fear most is lightning. The descent of lightning is like divine punishment or the end of the world for them!

"My God, are the gods enraged?"

"The gods are enraged, we will all die..."

Panic and fear began to build up, but some slightly stronger souls also sensed that something was wrong.

These lightning bolts struck down from the heavens to the treetops, looking as if the heavens were punishing the gods. Could it be that the gods had angered the heavens?

The souls began to speculate, time passed, and lightning struck, lasting for three days and three nights, until the thunderous roar subsided.

The long-awaited sunlight shone on the earth, and in the far west, the top of the towering Jianmu tree, tens of thousands of feet high, suddenly burst into dazzling golden flowers!

A magnificent glow spread across the sky and earth!

The next second, a shocking scene unfolded: a colossal serpent appeared, coiled around the towering Jianmu tree, its enormous head bearing three eyes.

"The Snake God! The Snake God has appeared!"

"My God, the Serpent God is real!"

Exclamations reached the giant serpent's ears, which pleased it greatly; its endless years of effort had finally yielded results.

"I thought I would never have any hope of returning to my peak in this lifetime, but I never expected that little bastard would leave me in such a good place."

Now, I have not only recovered my full strength, but I have even surpassed it, reaching the level of a main god. If I can return to the divine realm, I will also be qualified to ascend to the position of supreme god!

The Snake God thought to himself that if Ning Chen were here, he would definitely discover that the Snake God he had taken away in the Ghost Blows Out the Light world had actually recovered and even broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

When Pangu created the world, Ning Chen had no choice but to abandon his small world and fall into the primordial world. Later, the Empress and the Chicken Lord both left the small world and entered the primordial world.

Only the Snake God's soul remained in the small world. Originally, it wanted to follow in the footsteps of the Empress and the Chicken Lord and leave the small world. However, it discovered that the Jianmu tree in the far west of the small world could absorb the primordial spiritual energy and nourish the small world in return.

The Snake God, the Empress, and the Chicken Lord had all witnessed firsthand that when Pangu created the world, it was Ning Chen who directly confronted Pangu. Such combat power instilled fear in the Snake God from the bottom of his heart.

Therefore, even though he could leave the small world and enter the primordial world, the Serpent God did not go out for the sake of safety. Instead, he stayed in the small world and ruled as king.

Unexpectedly, after countless years, even so, the Serpent God has broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. This is actually thanks to the mark left by Ning Chen in the small world; otherwise, the Serpent God would never have been able to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

"Alas, the Divine Realm, I wonder if I will ever have the chance to return to the Divine Realm in this lifetime!" The Snake God sighed as he thought of how he once roamed the Divine Realm and later descended into the Ghost Blows Out the Light world until he was captured by Ning Chen.

Thinking of Ning Chen, the Snake God became even angrier: "Hmph, that little bastard is the worst! He swore he would help me with every opportunity, but look what happened, he's vanished without a trace!"

Although the Snake God had tricked Ning Chen several times in the past, at the beginning, the Snake God was completely sincere in his efforts towards Ning Chen. The Boundless Demon Eye and the Imaginary Space brought Ning Chen countless benefits.

Even Chicken Master received a favor from the Snake God. It was the Snake God's intervention that allowed Chicken Master, who at that time only possessed the bloodline of the phoenix, to awaken the phoenix bloodline within him and begin to evolve into a true phoenix.

But now, both Ning Chen and Chicken Master are stronger than Snake God, yet Ning Chen seems to have long forgotten his original promise.

"Forget it, nobody in the Divine Realm remembers me anyway, and those old guys are all hoping I'm dead. I might as well stay in this world and break through to a level they could never reach even in their dying days. Wouldn't that be more enjoyable?"

The serpent god comforted himself in his heart.

Just then, the portal to the small world suddenly opened. The snake god's heart stirred. No one had ever discovered the small world in the endless years. Could it have been discovered?

The serpent god's three eyes were fixed on the direction of the entrance. "If it is indeed an external enemy, kill it immediately, and then move the small world away."

If it were... Holy crap, how could it be him!

Before the snake god could finish his plan, he was shocked. Even though the snake god had broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, he could not remain calm as he watched the god enter the small world.

"Why is that little bastard Ning Chen back?" The Snake God instinctively hid, as if afraid of being discovered by Ning Chen.

However, what the Snake God didn't know was that Ning Chen had returned for the Snake God's sake. He remembered all the promises he had made, and even though the Snake God had tricked him, Ning Chen no longer cared.

"Snake God, where are you going to hide now? This little world is only so big. Even if you burrow into the ground, I'll find you immediately!"

Ning Chen flew to the top of the Tongtian Jianmu tree and said.

The serpent god manifested its form, with three large eyes, watching Ning Chen warily. Seeing the serpent god's appearance, he couldn't help but smile.

"Why did you come back?" the snake god asked.

"Of course I'm here to fulfill my promise. The Divine Realm, is it? I'll accompany you on this journey!" Ning Chen said slowly.

The serpent god stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
