The tournament was over, and Zhu Yi had won. With Zhu Yi alone standing inside of the arena, the god realm cultivator of the Sword Sect stood up and silenced the audience.
"Zhu Yi has won the Sword Sect's void traversing realm tournament and will be admitted to the main Sword Sect on the world tree. I thank everyone who came and everyone who participated in this astonishing tournament."
Done speaking, the tournament officially ended. Many watched Zhu Yi with admiration and awe as he returned to the stands and met up with his master and the Sect Master of the Sword Sect.
"I did it, Master." Zhu Yi said.
"You did. It was truly incredible. I look forward to what you can accomplish in the future."
Zhu Yi felt excited at his master's praise. He was now truly worthy of it.
"I'll take everyone to the World Tree so that this Chaos Beast situation can finally be settled." Ying Xiong said as he stood up. Zhu Yi recognized him as the man that had come to the penthouse and spoke to his master.
Zhou Fan nodded. "Let's go. Take that girl with us."
Zhou Fan pointed at Bai Wei'er. Ying Xiong nodded and disappeared with everyone. Without knowing how, Bai Wei'er disappeared from Bai Wei's side.
Zhou Fan and the rest soon arrived at the place with teleportation arrays. Ying Xiong went into a secret room with a hidden array. This was a direct array to the World Tree.
In just a moment, they had entered a similar place. It was another area with teleportation arrays, but this place was not in space. Looking around, this place was built on giant tree branches.
Zhou Fan walked out of the building and looked up. There was a giant tree rooted in space. It was far bigger than anything Zhou Fan had ever seen.
As soon as Zhou Fan looked at it, the World Tree shook. Countless people living on it opened their eyes in shock and surprise.
Standing on Leaf, Zhou Fan felt some sort of power flowing towards him in an attempt to heal him.
He spoke. "There's no need for that. Everything will be settled soon enough."
The power seemed to reluctantly stop flowing towards him and the World Tree calmed down.
Ying Xiong walked out next to Zhou Fan. Zhu Yi followed soon after.
Zhou Fan looked at Zhu Yi. "Take out my body."
Zhu Yi nodded and took out a body from his spatial ring. Without a doubt, it was Zhou Fan's.
Ying Xiong saw it and let it float next to Zhou Fan's soul. "What is the most efficient way to heal you?"
"The mist from Chaos Beasts."
Ying Xiong nodded and turned to leave. "Give me a few days to announce your return. I will wake everyone up and begin an attack on the Chaos Beasts."
Zhou Fan nodded, and Ying Xiong left.
Zhu Yi, Zhou Fan, the unconscious Bai Wei'er, and the Sect Master of the Sword Sect were left alone.
The overseer did not come as his job was to oversee the four element gathering world.
Perhap thinking about the four element gathering world at the same time, Zhu Yi looked at Zhou Fan.
"Should we go to the rule enforcement office?"
Zhou Fan nodded.
There was only one issue, they had no idea where it was. At this time, perhaps sent by Ying Xiong, a person came over.
"You're Zhu Yi, and you must be the Origin God. I find it odd that I was sent to lead you, but I will be your guide for the time being."
Before even seeing him, Zhu Yi felt as if the voice he heard was familiar. As he looked at the person speaking, he was amazed.
"Chen Jie!"
Chen Jie nodded. "That's my name. Do you know me?"
Zhu Yi nodded. "I was born in the same world as you and met you in your inheritance. Later on, I met you again and you gave me a mission."
Chen Jie nodded. "I understand. What mission did I give you?"
"To go to the rule enforcement office and report that square 16 - the four element gathering world, was tampering with memories."
Chen Jie nodded. "That is indeed a serious crime. Let's go." Chen Jie led them back to the teleportation area.
The ground was made of roots, each root being thicker than even a planet.
The world tree itself was the size of many galaxies. It was only natural that using teleportation arrays was the fastest mode of transportation.
Chen Jie was in the god realm. He was at the peak of it. It was hard to say if he was going to break through to the true god realm himself, or if he was going to participate in the True God Ascension Arena battle.
Chen Jie occasionally looked at Zhou Fan as he navigated through arrays. His eyes seemed to hold admiration.
After only three teleportations, they arrived at the rule enforcement office. Chen Jie led them inside and got someone to talk to. He was clearly known around the World Tree, despite acting like an ordinary person.
Everything was reported and the rest was out of their hands.
"So. We can go anywhere for now. From what I understand, It'll just take a few days before we're finally ready to launch a counter attack on the Chaos Beasts."
Chen Jie clenched his fists in excitement. "Finally. With the Origin God back, a hundred quintillion years of suffering and war can be avenged. The countless human powerhouses who gave their lives for the sake of defending humanity will be able to rest in peace."
It was finally known that a hundred quintillion years had passed since Zhou Fan's fight. This was a hundred times the lifespan of a True God realm cultivator. In other words, it seemed that nearly everyone Zhou Fan had known was long dead.
Only someone like Ying Xiong, who could reincarnate, and Heaven, who would remain alive as long as Zhou Fan did, and even Leaf, whose lifespan was probably longer than Zhou Fan's, could survive this long.
Chen Jie's words confirmed a lot about Zhou Fan's absence. It was possible that some others from back then had survived, such as Yao Mun who could theoretically repeat the same process as before when he was revived.
However, it was extremely unlikely. After thinking for a while, Zhu Yi decided on the next location. He wanted to visit the Sword Sect.
"The Sword Sect exists in the most populated area of the World Tree, World Tree city. I'll take you there now."
They once again followed Chen Jie through many teleportation arrays until they reached some city gates. Not much could be said about World Tree city. It seemed like a small mortal city, but Zhou Fan could sense the power of some of the people inside. There were more than a few True Gods.
The city gates were wide open and Chen Jie freely walked through it with them following. After all, this was the World Tree. Nobody would ever even imagine sneaking in with evil intentions.
Chen Jie led all of them down a large street and stopped at one of the buildings at the side. On a glass door were the words, "The Sword Sect".
It looked like it was some sort of small mortal dojo that taught basic self-defense. However, this was the greatest place to practice swords in the universe.
Chen Jie walked in without knocking.
As soon as they entered, Zhou Fan heard shouts of effort. In the middle of a matted floor, a few young cultivators were practicing the sword. Although young, each of them was at the Void Traversing realm or higher.
In addition, each of them were clearly displaying powerful techniques in this small area. Perhaps with some array, the attacks were extremely small and did no damage to the surroundings.
They all waited an hour until the session was up. As the students were dismissed, the person who had been teaching them came up and saw Zhu Yi.
"You must be Zhu Yi, winner of the Void Traversing realm competition. It's good to meet you. I heard this year was especially tough."
Zhu Yi thanked him. "It is nice to meet you as well. Who are you?"
The person introduced himself. "I am an elder of the Sword Sect. I'm at the god realm and usually teach those at the Void Traversing realm and the Space Shattering realm."
Zhu Yi. "It's nice to meet you."
The elder nodded and looked at Chen Jie. "Why are you here, sir?"
Clearly, Chen Jie had a high status.
"I'm a tour guide for now."
The elder seemed confused, but nodded.
They soon left. Zhu Yi would likely end up staying in this city and attending the Sword Sect in the future. It depended on how long it took Zhou Fan to fully regain his cultivation.
The next place Zhu Yi chose to visit was the Elf Kingdom. He had heard that Elves took care of the World Tree, and he wanted to see them.
Chen Jie brought them over. Zhu Yi wasn't too amazed by the Elves. There weren't many strong one's. What he was most interested in was their method of taking care of the World Tree. They often used life Qi, and other less mainstream Qi's such as grass Qi and Tree Qi to take care of the World Tree's health. Though unnecessary, it was more like a form of worship than anything else.
Perhaps nobody but Zhou Fan knew that Elves had faith in trees even before Cultivation itself.
Next, Zhu Yi asked Chen Jie about places to see. Chen Jie mentioned the home of the destruction race. Once enemies of all life, they now had a ceasefire with the righteous faction in order to defeat Chaos Beasts.
After all, the Chaos Beasts wish to destroy even destruction. They did not stay on the world tree, but a bit closer to the main battlefield.
Zhu Yi heard about the city of Celestials, Fiendcelestials, Heavenborns, Demons, and many other races. Humans main location was at the World Tree city.
Zhu Yi also heard about many beast clans and supreme beast clans. There were a lot of things to hear about, and Zhu Yi only visited a few.
Nearing the end of the day, Chen Jie led them to where they would stay for now. White Palace City. Although only the disciples of Chen Jie lived here, an imposing White Palace stood in the center of it.
"As someone extremely talented, they gave me some land and told me to build a home. Here it is." Chen Jie explained.
It was nearly identical to the White Palace City that Zhu Yi knew. After all, the White Palace city on his world was protected and preserved over time.
Zhu Yi explored it and even found the assassination guild headquarters, though it was empty without anything like it was in the past.
Unlike in the past, Zhu Yi was allowed to enter the White Palace. It was where he was staying.
The White Palace was as intimidating as usual. In fact, it was far more intimidating since it could affect him even with his current strength.
He felt invincible within the same realm after winning the tournament, but compared to Chen Jie, he felt lacking. No matter what, Chen Jie was a unique genius throughout the entire universe, perhaps even the greatest genius of this era.
The inside of the White Palace was extravagant, but nothing too crazy. It was just as comfortable as possible.
Although they did not need to sleep at all, Chen Jie rested on a couch while watching TV.
A big battle was coming soon, and relaxation would help anyone.
The next day, news spread through the entire World Tree. The Origin God had returned. An attack would be led on the Chaos Beasts.
The effect of this news was far beyond any one person's comprehension. Just a single announcement completely changed the atmosphere of the entire World Tree. Every single corner heard this news, and sleeping ancients awoke.
Under a building in World Tree city were three cryopods. Zhou Fan had casually given them to Pangu long ago.
They would extend the lifespan of a true god by ten thousand times, or to 10 sextillion years.
