After a long while, a calm voice rang out: "He lost, let him go."

Everyone turned to look.

The speaker was a young man with black hair on the Golden Ancient Road. His stature was tall and slender, surrounded by a faint golden glow. He appeared slim, yet exuded a composed demeanor that was unfazed by anything.

"Who are you?"

Qin Zi looked at the person and asked.

"Qingtian."

The person replied calmly, locking eyes with Qin Zi without the slightest hint of retreat.

Qin Zi twitched his mouth, thinking it was pointless to ask since he hadn't even heard of him!

Nevertheless, this person was indeed strong, giving him a sense of danger. This must be the leading figure of Taiqing Heaven.

"Go ahead."

Qin Zi thought for a moment, and casually tossed the golden-haired youth away, as if releasing a dove.

The golden-haired youth flapped his wings and flew back to the Golden Ancient Road in an awkward state, his face looking unsightly.

He cast an indignant glance at Qin Zi, but refrained from speaking harshly, lowering his head in suppression.

"Thank you."

Qingtian cupped his hands towards Qin Zi, expressing his gratitude.

Qin Zi smiled slightly and said nothing, recognizing that the young man didn't take him, the Celestial Lord of Xuanhuang, seriously.

He had nothing to say about that.

Reverence is something that forms spontaneously, and if others do not have reverence for you, it only means you are not worthy enough.

"As expected of the Celestial Lord of Xuanhuang, subduing the Blood Celestial Peng of Taixuan Heaven with a mere gesture. Such prowess is truly admirable."

At this moment, a laughing voice rang out.

It was the young king of Taiqing Heaven who spoke.

He was a playful young man with white hair, handsome features, clad in white clothes and white hair, his body shimmering with a faint white glow, standing atop a rotating galactic vortex like a bright moon hanging atop the stars.

"Sowing discord?"

Qingtian coldly glanced at that person.

"Huh? Hahaha, a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! How could I, Bai Shuize, do such a thing?" The playful young man suddenly covered his mouth, feigning guilt as he laughed.

But in the next moment, his tone shifted, his eyes narrowed, and the corners of his mouth subtly curved: "What I'm doing is... a direct provocation!"

"Buzz——"

A divine light shot from Qingtian's eyes, like a light that could split the heavens and the earth, seemingly capable of tearing the starry sky apart, with an overwhelming aura!

"This... Alas, Senior Brother Bai is still such a troublemaker, truly adding fuel to the fire."

Several young kings of Taiqing Heaven smiled wryly, stepping forward to block Bai Shuize, and said to Qingtian: "This is a senior brother from Taixuan Heaven, please don't get angry, our Senior Brother Bai... has some issues with his head."

"What did you say, say it again! If you dare slander me, beware that I will suppress you all!"

The white-haired young man suddenly became displeased and seemed ready to step forward to teach the speaker a lesson, but he was held back by two others.

"Don't hold me back, I must suppress him today! Who's head is messed up, say it again?"

The white-haired young man fumed, struggling to move forward, but every time he lunged forward, he bounced back like a rubber band, still pretending to say, "Don't hold me back."

"Sigh..."

Several young kings of Taiqing Heaven covered their faces in embarrassment—this was shameful!!

Senior Brother Bai was excellent in every way, but he had a rather eccentric personality, often doing inexplicable things.

Perhaps all extraordinary people have quirks, but come to think of it, if Senior Brother Bai didn't have these quirks...

He would be terrifying!

They still remembered how their elders described Senior Brother Bai—unprecedentedly exceptional, unmatched, and a monster that shouldn't exist in the world!

"Boom——!"

At this moment, a violent tremor was felt, and everyone looked with excitement, seeing the colossal ancient gate slowly opening.

The enormous portal opened a narrow gap, and endless light poured forth, with overwhelming life energy gushing out like an ocean.

"The World Tree Space has opened!"

"Hahaha, charge!"

"I am going all out!"

Almost instantly, a large mass of figures flew over like locusts, swarming and quickly squeezing into the gap.

At such times, it's about not playing by the rules.

If it were a fair competition, most people wouldn't stand a chance, only by seizing the initiative can one make an attempt.

Even the prodigies of major forces did not stop, for exploring a foreign environment always requires forerunners.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

Figures collided with the light curtain within the ancient gate, creating ripples like raindrops hitting the lake.

Fortunately, no accidents occurred.

"Let's go in too."

"Let's move."

The prodigies of major forces also took action, swiftly flying toward the ancient gate, and Qin Zi was no exception.

"Pop!"

Like popping a bubble, or perhaps breaking through a membrane, Qin Zi entered a warm and humid world.

"Swoosh!"

Endless spiritual energy of life surged in like fog, constantly flowing into his body.

"Ah..."

Qin Zi let out a low, euphoric growl, feeling as if he was soaked in warm water, with every cell in his body breathing.

His power was also climbing drastically.

As if he was reborn!!

Of course, Qin Zi wasn't the only one who gained this opportunity. At this moment, everyone who entered the World Tree Space was being purified by the life energy, floating in the air with expressions of ecstasy.

Particularly, some women, with flushed faces and gently trembling bodies, clamped their legs tightly as if forming an 'O' shape.

After a long while.

Qin Zi completed his purification and opened his eyes to behold a breathtaking scene—a boundlessly enormous tree!

It stood in the chaos ahead, flourishing with branches and leaves, each branch swirling with resplendent mist, which were, in fact, magnificent rivers of stars!

Between these branches, brilliant white lights occasionally flashed, like the light refracted by diamonds, sparkling one after another.

Qin Zi calculated with his divine perception and found precisely 129,600, which he assumed to be the World Source Seeds.

The World Source Seeds were far too small, invisible from such a distance, so he could only see the light they emitted.

"Welcome to the World Tree Space... welcome to the World Tree Space, World Tree Space, Tree Space... Space..."

An extremely ancient and robust voice rang out, accompanied by a cascade of echoes reverberating through the vast space.

This voice was terrifying; if it were outside, just a single roar could shatter countless galaxies.

"It's the voice of the World Tree!"

"I've heard from my elders that the World Tree possesses consciousness, and its power is unimaginably vast, even surpassing the greatest titans!"

"Yes, but the World Tree abides by rules, as long as we follow its rules, it won't make things difficult for us."

The crowd whispered among themselves.

This wasn't a secret; stating it at this moment was to bolster each other's courage.

Meanwhile, the voice of the World Tree resounded once more: "I know you have come for the World Source Seeds, but these are treasures I have nurtured with endless vitality, maturing every 1.296 billion years, naturally, I can't give them to you for free."

"Unless... you play a game with me."
