This endless world

The bright clouds reflected the sky, and the green mist covered the mouth of the bucket.

The golden light rolled red, and the auspicious air sprayed purple mist.

The corridors were exquisite and transparent; three eaves and four clusters, with layers of dragons and phoenixes flying. Auspicious clouds, palaces, gods, fairies, fine wine, delicacies... the fairy air was floating, the light was brilliant, and everything beautiful, wanted, and dreamed of by humans seemed to be found in this world of gods above the sky.

"You want to go to the sacred tree... that direction."

This is a god with an open heart and a slightly unkempt appearance. He exudes a casual and informal atmosphere, which reminds people of the barefoot immortal in myths and legends. At this moment, he was talking and laughing with several gods beside him. As they toasted and exchanged cups, he revealed a kind of comfort that transcended the world.

When hearing Yang Yun's question, this god, who was clearly a stranger to him, just opened his drunken eyes and took a look, and then gave the correct guidance without any hesitation: "But what are you doing there? There is nothing there, it's very boring."

"Why don't you stay and share the joy with us, how about a couple of drinks?"

"A new face I haven't seen before... Is it an immortal who ascended from the lower world? Relax, there is no need to be nervous here."

After Yang Yun refused, a person who was watching the dance of the goddess laughed twice and raised his glass to Yang Yun.

Anyone can see that although this existence, who is not sure whether it is an immortal or a god, has huge energy in his body, it is too big and too small, and it is scattered in form and spirit. It is just a superficial appearance... If a real battle breaks out, then this guy is definitely a fourth-level guy on the energy level, and I am afraid that he can't even beat an ordinary third-level guy.

Yang Yun had seen quite a few of these beings along the way. They seemed to always be happy to answer questions, showing an incredible friendliness, and even lacked the most basic vigilance. Most of them looked glamorous on the surface, but were just for show; few of them were serious and responsible, and most of them were the heavenly soldiers and generals wearing armor and holding weapons...

Compared to the common people in the God Realm, the two heavenly generals guarding the door at least showed an attitude of putting their duties first. They knew that they wanted to ask about Yang Yun's purpose, which could really be regarded as "diligent in their duties".

——I don't know if it's because the war between the God Realm and the Demon Realm has not started for a long time, causing these gods to lose the so-called "motivation" in the long peace; or it's related to the overall environment of the God Realm and the pure air that constitutes the basis of their bodies.

Just as Chonglou said, gods cannot stand turbid air, live in the sky, form the God Realm, and are usually open-minded, as if they don't care about everything; while demons are used to the turbid air of the earth, live on the ground, settle in the Demon Realm, and are mostly bloodthirsty and warlike. Only the human race created by Nuwa has a balance of clear and turbid air in their bodies, tending to be moderate...

——Lone yin cannot grow, and alone yang cannot grow, perhaps this is the reason... That's it, how the God Realm is not something I should worry about, I should care about something more important.

Yang Yun's footsteps passed through thinking and stepped into the area where the God Tree was. As an important symbol of the God Realm, the existence of this giant tree is undoubtedly extremely special... However, what surprised Yang Yun was that such an important place did not even have a single guard.

Or to be more precise, in the God Realm, except for the South Gate of Heaven and the palaces in the distance that were obviously inhabited by important people, other places are almost completely open. Therefore, Yang Yun, who was obviously a stranger, went to the God Tree, and no one asked, and he could pass through without hindrance.

"But no wonder it is the source of life in the God Realm..."

Looking up, there is a towering huge divine tree in front of him. Its posture is majestic, and its canopy covers the entire sky as far as the eye can see, as if it wants to cover the entire God Realm under its shade. And the root system of this divine tree is even more huge, like a falling cloud, deeply rooted in the void, as if it is a hub connecting heaven and earth, gathering the surrounding spiritual energy, making the God Realm filled with a pure and clear breath...

Experiencing the powerful vitality that permeates around the divine tree and its close connection with this space of the God Realm, Yang Yun sighed slightly: "The survival of the heavens and the reproduction of the gods depend on the divine tree. There is really no falsehood."

As Yang Yun approached step by step, he could feel the uniqueness of the divine tree more clearly, and at the same time, he could clearly feel the difference between the divine tree in front of him and the light of his soul, "Jianmu".

As a symbol of the God Realm, the divine tree is not just a material form, but more like a cohesion of the will and power of the God Realm, affecting the operation and order of the entire God Realm. In comparison, the "Jianmu" in Yang Yun's spiritual light is more of a manifestation of personal spiritual will, which is fundamentally different from the grand existence of the sacred tree that represents the power of the entire realm.

—— Moreover, the concepts symbolized by the two are also different...

As the shadow of Jianmu slowly appeared behind Yang Yun, Yang Yun thoughtfully felt the tide of spiritual energy, wave after wave, wave after wave, as if it was the breathing of the world itself, synchronizing with his heartbeat again and again, as if the world he was in also had a subtle resonance with him.

Since he had come into contact with the level of "holy way", Yang Yun naturally knew that the concepts represented by the holy way were also diverse. Just like Chi You's bloody holy way represents "struggle" and "evolution", but he himself is the master of killing and cutting soldiers, and also the god of the tree of creation. The concepts symbolized by the same tree are naturally diverse.

This sacred tree that supports the world of Xianjian is like the Jianmu in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. It is a mysterious bridge connecting the three realms of heaven and earth. It connects the nine heavens above, bathing in divine light and breathing in fresh air; its roots are rooted in the nine netherworlds below, purifying poisonous miasma and absorbing filth. Just like the world tree in Norse mythology, the nine worlds it carries include Midgard, which belongs to humans, Asgard, the golden palace of the gods, and Helheim, the abyss-like kingdom of death.

On the other hand, his spiritual light Jianmu, even though it can compete with a junior saint like Chonglou in terms of scale and volume, and has also comprehended the most core "meaning of reincarnation of life and death" after the battle with Chiyou, still has a long way to go in terms of perfecting the details...

"It is indeed the right choice to come here first..."

With a slight smile, Yang Yun retracted the spiritual light behind him and withdrew from the state of unity between man and nature: "Besides, it seems that I came at the right time."

As he said, Yang Yun turned his eyes and looked at a blue-clothed woman who appeared not far from him at some point: "Isn't that right?"

"Goddess Xiyao." (End of this chapter)
