บท 33: A Seed of the Nine Layers of Heaven
บรรณาธิการ: Dragon Boat Translation
The lowest grade E-grade evolution technique itself had too many loopholes.
When Zhao Hao entered a state of oblivion, his evolution technique transformed. Its loopholes were actually being filled and repaired.
This repairing process was extremely marvelous, containing the rhythm of the Heavenly Dao, and it was difficult to describe with words.
Zhao Hao did not notice this at all. In his mind, he was still a seed!
After the seed bloomed and bore fruit, the green fruit matured over a long period of time.
The flowers withered and the fruits eventually fell to the ground. Only the tree formed by the seed still stood between heaven and earth.
The bowl-sized tree had been ravaged by the strong wind and was bent until it was arced like a bow. It was about to be broken by the wind. Suddenly, the tree burst out with Zhao Hao's tenacious will and withstood the wind with all its might.
When the wind stopped, the bowl-sized tree became as thick as a bucket.
The drought arrived at this moment. The earth cracked and the mountain springs dried up.
The leaves of that tree had all fallen off, and there was not a single drop of water in its trunk. There was no sign of life. But then, Zhao Hao's will exploded from within the tree once again, and it was like a cockroach that could not be killed. Hold on, he must hold on!
After an unknown amount of time, the plants around the trees withered and died, and the wild beasts turned into nothing but bones.
However, the tree still retained its last trace of life.
Rumble!
Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the sky, and heavy rain poured down.
The dry land was nourished like never before.
The tree survived and grew bigger once again.
Then, a forest fire broke out.
A meteorite fell from the sky, creating endless fires and burning the nearby dead leaves.
The fire quickly spread to half of the forest, and countless animals and plants were affected.
In the fire, half of the tree that Zhao Hao's consciousness had transformed into had been burned, leaving only its roots. His will erupted again. Brother, please show the sportsmanship of an athlete. Don't give up!
Just like that, the big tree in the fire remained with a chance of survival.
Countless creatures had died, but he had survived.
It began to grow horizontally, becoming thicker and thicker.
The burnt tree trunk slowly grew back over thousands of years.
Many powerful creatures in the forest had fallen to the merciless river of time.
However, an ordinary tree, a tree that could not even move, had survived through thousands of years.
It had never seen anything beyond a hundred meters, so it did not know what the world outside was like. Suddenly, one day, it had a thought: the world seems very big, I want to see it…
It was ridiculous for a tree to want to see the outside world.
It was born here and grew up here. Once it left the land where its roots were set, it would die.
However, it still decided to take a look at this world.
Only dreams that were ridiculed had value.
For this dream, it came up with a very stupid idea: become taller!
As long as it was tall enough, it could see very far away.
It desperately grew upwards, using all its strength and resources to do so.
After ten thousand years, it had become the tallest tree in the forest.
It stood out so much that it could see into the distance.
It finally had a panoramic view of the outside world.
It was as lonely as snow on the top of the tallest mountain in the world. The sun, moon, and stars in the sky gave it a second dream: I want to go and see what's beyond the sky.
It worked for this dream and it kept growing.
After countless years, its treetops touched the white clouds in the sky.
It had yet to come into contact with the sun, moon, and stars, so it decided to continue growing taller.
...
...
Under the giant ancient tree, the intoxicated evolutionary creatures grew fewer and fewer.
The consciousness of every living being turned into a seed and experienced the same thing as Zhao Hao.
Some of the creatures' wills were defeated by the wind, some collapsed in the drought, and some dissipated in the fire. There were also some powerful creatures that, when the tree's thoughts transmitted, "The world is huge, I want to go and take a look." Their intelligence thought that this dream was too ridiculous, so they gave up.
A few days later, there were only seven creatures left in the vicinity.
They were the five big bosses, Zhao Hao, and Handsome Black.
After the rest of the creatures woke up, they did not dare to stay any longer. The aura that the five bosses casually emitted scared them out of their wits. Countless animals retreated like the tide, and many plants that could move also quietly left.
The last seven creatures were still trying to break through the sky.
The ancient giant tree in the mental world pierced through the first layer of the sky and saw many wonderful scenes. Those scenes allowed it to comprehend many mysteries of the world, so it continued to grow and break through the second layer of the sky.
In the real world, the giant blood-red ape woke up and revealed an extremely human-like impatient expression. It was unknown how many tens of thousands of years it would take to break through the second layer of the sky barrier. It lost its patience and left.
After another day, the silver python woke up.
It seemed to have some kind of realization. It was not interested in paying attention to the nearby evolutionary creatures and quietly left.
The next day, the golden chrysanthemum also woke up.
It was also immersed in its comprehension and quickly returned to its territory to continue its comprehension.
Days passed, and the only creatures left were the white deer, the white fox, Big Black, and Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao had never thought that he had a high IQ. He was just stubborn. He had seen the beginning and he had to see the ending. He had completely treated himself as a tree that had grown from a seed, determined to break through the sky!
On this day, the ancient tree in the mental world broke through the seventh layer of the sky.
The white deer woke up. It looked at the white fox, then at Zhao Hao and Big Black. Its eyes were filled with admiration, respect, and a little envy.
It did not leave, seemingly wanting to wait and see the result.
From this, it could be seen that its intelligence was extraordinary, and it had even developed a human curiosity.
In the mental world, the giant ancient tree had broken through to the eighth layer of the sky with great difficulty.
It had seen too many magical things in different layers of heaven, seen too many wonderful scenes, and comprehended countless heavenly secrets. The ninth layer of heaven was the limit of the skies!
The last sky barrier required great perseverance and luck to break through.
On this day, the white fox woke up, and so did Big Black.
In front of the last sky barrier, they felt powerless.
This feeling of being unable to break through was deeply rooted in their bones. Their achievements finally stopped at the eighth layer of the sky.
The white fox was more human-like than the white deer. It looked at Big Black with interest and then looked at Zhao Hao silently.
Strangely enough, under the gaze of such a powerful creature, Big Black did not show any signs of retreat. It did not tremble in fear as it did back at the spring. Instead, it glared back at the white deer as if saying, "What are you looking at?"
The white deer, who was waiting to watch the show, took half a step back when Big Black glanced at it.
Handsome Black was truly handsome. At this moment, Big Black was worthy of the name of Handsome Black.
The white fox turned away from Handsome Black's gaze as it was more interested in Zhao Hao.
The white deer seemed to have sensed danger and left quietly.
After another day, the white fox took a deep look at Zhao Hao as if it wanted to engrave his appearance into the depths of its soul.
Then, it turned into a white light and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, Zhao Hao was in the most critical state. The super giant tree that he had transformed into had already reached the sky barrier of the ninth layer of heaven. He was just a little bit away from piercing through to the final layer. "Olympic spirit, show your indomitable Olympic spirit and charge forward!"
