Chapter 1800: The New Replaces The Old (1/2)

What the origin of life had been afraid of the whole time was that ancient tree.

If Nie Tian continued to fight against it, he would become a great threat to it as well.

However, that wasn’t going to happen anytime soon.

After all, the Divinespirits hadn’t developed into a force yet. Before that, Nie Tian wouldn’t be able to threaten its existence.

However, the Tree of Life was different.

Since it could assimilate and dissolve its awareness and change its way of thinking, it was the greater threat at hand!

Originally, as long as the Tree of Life couldn’t enter the chaos, it wouldn’t be able to affect or assimilate it.

This had been its source of confidence.

However, who would have thought that after his transcendence, Nie Tian would be able to sense the existence of the Tree of Life with Life Detection, defy numerous spatial barriers to establish a connection to it, and summon it with his elevated true soul and the help of the River of Souls.

As soon as the soul bond came to form, both Nie Tian and the Tree of Life exerted themselves and magically broke the shackles of the chaos, allowing it to overcome the restrictions and manifest out of nothing.

The moment it emerged in the chaos, the origin of life had a presentiment of disaster... and it was right.

FIZZ! FIZZ! PUFF! PUFF!

Wrapped in multiple layers of green power, Nie Tian’s Life-origin Form was pierced by one tree branch after another.

They cut through his flesh into the gaps between his meridians and bones.

It pained him to the point where he wanted to die.

Every branch and every bit of wood power was branded with the will of the Tree of Life, or the will of the new origin of life...

However, the awareness of the origin of life, the one that had devised many schemes against him, was driven into a corner of the blood sea, where it continued to be nibbled at and assimilated by the awareness of the Tree of Life.

It seemed to be staring Nie Tian with rage, hatred, and ridicule, and saying, “Did you think that you’d win by bringing it in to replace me?

“Did you think that it’d see you as its ally after it replaced me?

“You’re so laughable and foolish! You’ve not only brought calamity upon me, but you’ve brought calamity upon yourself too!”

The awareness of the origin of life that came through to him grew weaker and weaker, as if it was going to perish soon.

It seemed extremely begrudging and furious.

All Void Spirits that were sent outside the chaos would develop their own awareness and become independent souls.

However, none of them could go through myriad tribulations and still stand unwavering at the top of the Spirit World like the Tree of Life.

Therefore, its wisdom was unmatched, as its awareness was incredibly strong.

Now that it had made its way back to the chaos, it was like a flood dragon that had returned to the sea.

Even its origin couldn’t suppress it anymore!

The origin of life had never been afraid of the Blood Father of the Spirit World because it knew that he had spent a long time in dormancy. Without experiencing eras of turbulence and surviving countless tribulations, it couldn’t grow into an independent soul that was as strong as the Tree of Life.

It was confident that he would follow its orders and pose no threat to it forever.

After all, it had created him as a mere weapon of war in the first place.

The Tree of Life, on the other hand, hadn’t been built for battle. However, its countless experiences had greatly tempered its awareness and improved its wisdom, and had given it the ability to change and even replace the origin of life.

It had always been aware of this, and had been doing everything it could to prevent this from happening.

However, it had failed.

Its awareness was slowly vanishing.

Soon, Nie Tian, who was wrapped around by the Tree of Life, could no longer sense the fury, hatred, and ridicule of the origin of life.
