Although his identity had been exposed, Shi Yu didn't sense any immediate danger, so he chose to stay.

"Ling, do you think we can trust that Lily?" Shi Yu asked.

"It's worth trusting her a little. At least we don't have any other leads. No matter what Lily's purpose is, she's one of the Empress of Power's closest confidantes. If what she says is true, then she's the only force we can rely on, the most worthwhile teammate to win over. It's better than fighting alone," Ling said. "So, are we going to have Ginseng Baby break through to the Epoch God level? "Qi asked.

"Yes, as long as Ginseng Baby breaks through to the Epoch God level and then uses the power of the Time Fruit to unleash our collective augmentation on it, spending a certain price, we should be able to cultivate a transcendent-god-level memory resource."

"Iya," Ginseng Baby scratched its head, feeling a little pressure. Among the initial six pets, it was the only one not at the Epoch God level. This time, it even needed its power, which made Ginseng Baby feel like it was holding them back.

"Iya, what to do? Do I need to find a powerful enemy to fight?" Ginseng Baby asked.

"It's hard to find one. Your increasingly inflated egos make it impossible for ordinary transcendent gods to put pressure on you. Where would we find so much time to find a suitable opponent? Let's choose other methods to temper your will," Shi Yu said. "I have an idea. Let Eleven, Worm, Chi Tong, Su Su, Ling, and Bu Lu take turns being your opponents. The former team champion is now reduced to being at the bottom, and can't even beat the newbies who just joined the team. I'll record the battle process and make it public after we return to the Star Realm. I'll also put it up at Gudu University for the students and teachers who used to take classes with you to see how the diligently studying Ginseng Heavenly Emperor is doing in the team now. Ginseng Baby, you wouldn't want your supporters, the Ginseng Heavenly Emperor's fans, to know that the former team leader has fallen to this state, would you?"

"So, can you, for the sake of this mission, use the existing conditions in the team to find your own way to break through?"

Ginseng Baby: "???"

Ginseng Baby's eyes widened instantly. Wasn't this shameless? It was only a little behind. Eleven and the others would reach the Epoch God level soon. They were only a year and a half ahead. What was there to compare? Did they have to make such a fuss during this short period when it was lagging behind?

"Awoo, Woof Woof." Eleven and the others didn't mind. As long as they could help Ginseng Baby, they were willing to lend a hand. No matter how strong Ginseng Baby was, the Anti-Teammate Energy Fruit wouldn't have much effect across a level. It could be said that its combat power was the worst among the people Shi Yu named.

"Mi." At this time, Little Purple was also eager to try. Honestly, it felt that its current strength was not weaker than Ginseng Baby's. It could also be added to the list. Although it was very likely to be second to last, at least it wouldn't be last. If it missed this opportunity to defeat Ginseng Baby, it would be hard to find another one. It also wanted to be a sparring partner for Ginseng Baby.

"Iya!" At this moment, facing the covetous looks of a group of teammates, Ginseng Baby was completely enraged. A sense of unwillingness surged in its heart. How could this be? It was the previous champion.

At the time, Shi Yu and the others arrived in the starry sky, far away from the Morning Star. He and Secretary Lily agreed to meet again after the transcendent-god-level Samsara Fruit was cultivated. So, Shi Yu and the others then used the power of Bu Lu and Worm to open up a void battlefield to carry out closed-door training here.

It had to be said that Shi Yu understood training. His training method was undoubtedly extremely effective for Ginseng Baby. Although the opponent wasn't a life-or-death enemy that had to be defeated, it was an existence that had an absolute reason to be defeated. However, Ginseng Baby, which had finally won the team championship after going through all kinds of hardships, had a rather proud heart and even decided to defend the team ace title continuously. But now, Shi Yu's operation directly reduced it to the bottom of the team, losing to its teammates one after another without any chance to turn the tables. This kind of stimulation was undoubtedly the greatest tempering for Ginseng Baby, who was still the team leader the second before. In comparison, Ginseng Baby might not be able to generate such a must-win belief even when facing three transcendent-god-level invaders at the same time. This training method was only suitable for Ginseng Baby. It wasn't very useful for Little Ji, Duck, and other pets because they were often at the bottom anyway. Even if they were ravaged by the team's big brothers and sisters, they wouldn't feel anything. But Ginseng Baby was different. It was someone who had won the strongest title.

So, after Ginseng Baby lost to Eleven, Worm, Chi Tong, Su Su, Ling, and Bu Lu a total of more than thirty times, Ginseng Baby's unwilling will finally reached its limit. It broke through in suppression and was reborn in adversity.

"Iya!"

In the void, Eleven and the other pets were all shaken back by the shocking aura erupted by the broken half of the radish in the center of the starry sky, revealing slightly solemn expressions.

"Iya!"

"Ginseng Baby is angry! The transcendent-god will has condensed. After being abused by its teammates more than thirty times, the unwillingness in its eyes has reached its peak at this moment. A heart that pursues invincibility is completely fulfilled!"

"Iya, Iya!"

Facing transcendent-god-level opponents was just for fun. Ginseng Baby's wish and determination was to always suppress these guys and become the strongest among them.

"So, Ginseng Baby became the first and only pet in the team to break through to the Epoch God level due to the pressure of the team competition."

"Iya!"

After breaking through to the Epoch God level, Ginseng Baby's combat power greatly increased, and the gap between it and the Epoch God Su Su and other pets was infinitely reduced.

"Moo, Moo!"

However, what awaited Ginseng Baby was not the revenge battle it was thinking about, but it was instantly dragged up by the even stronger, invincible Shi Yu Beast, pulling its leaves. Shi Yu said from the side, "Finally broke through. We'll fight again when we get back. Let's hurry up and cultivate the Samsara Fruit first."

Although it had broken through to the Epoch God level, it was still not easy to cultivate a transcendent-god resource.

"Iya." Ginseng Baby's face turned bitter. It had just broken through and become an invincible Epoch God, and in the blink of an eye, it was going to be a gardener again.

"This is very important," Shi Yu said. "Not only is this possibly the key to solving the cosmic war, but this thing may also be something Shi Yu himself needs." He had also forgotten very important memories, but he was luckier than that Empress of Power. The other party had forgotten all of her memories, but he at least remembered his experiences in the mortal stage, so he wasn't so confused.

About two months after Shi Yu and the others arrived in this time and space, Shi Yu and the others returned to the Morning Star.

"Ya, we meet again. So, you've completed the cultivation of the transcendent-god resource?" Shi Yu had just arrived outside this pavilion when a familiar voice came from inside. Secretary Lily walked out of the pavilion with her arms crossed, looking at Shi Yu in the sky. Her exquisite face was filled with a smile, still so unfathomable.

Shi Yu slowly landed and said, "Yes, I didn't disgrace my mission." After he landed, he took out a emerald green, slightly purple fruit with flowing light, like a small pineapple, and said, "Is this okay?"

Secretary Lily stretched out her hand, and the Samsara Fruit in Shi Yu's hand slowly flew over. Shi Yu's eyes narrowed because he couldn't see what power system the other party was using. It wasn't attribute energy, nor space-time power, nor mental power or soul power. It wasn't any of the powers he was familiar with.

"Hmm." Secretary Lily carefully looked at the Samsara Fruit. This Samsara Fruit was a transcendent-god resource that Ginseng Baby and the others had carefully cultivated for a month. It took a lot of effort and used the auxiliary props given by the Realm King to cultivate two of them. One of them was eaten by Shi Yu, and the other was here.

When Secretary Lily looked at the Samsara Fruit, Shi Yu felt very uneasy because he felt that relying on the transcendent-god-level Samsara Fruit was still not enough because at least after he ate the fruit, besides making his talent to control the size of his body permanently more exquisite, he didn't gain anything else. He didn't remember anything about his past life.

"Hmm, the ability to control size refers to the ability to control age at will. After eating the transcendent-god-level Samsara Fruit, he not only obtained the reincarnation abilities of those divine beasts, making it easier for him to turn into a child or an old man."

"Unfortunately." After looking at the Samsara Fruit for a while, Secretary Lily said regretfully, "Although this thing is the highest quality memory resource I've seen since the reward was offered, and its effect may be the best, I feel that with its power, it's still difficult to awaken Her Majesty the Empress's memories. Alas, if you could cultivate a cosmic treasure-level fruit, that would be even better."

"Hey, what are you kidding?" Shi Yu couldn't help but say. "Can that thing be created artificially? So, you're saying that we've been working for nothing for two months?" Shi Yu said, "If you can determine that this fruit is useless just by looking at it, then you should have been able to judge that transcendent-god-level memory resources still can't solve anything before letting us cultivate it."

"That's right," Secretary Lily smiled. "I knew from the beginning that the transcendent-god fruit you researched would still be useless, and I also knew that all the resources obtained from the reward would be useless."

Shi Yu:

Ginseng Baby: "???"

Ginseng Baby in the Beast Taming Space was angry. This bad woman shouldn't have said it if she knew it was useless long ago, causing it to be beaten so many times for nothing. Even that new monkey could beat it.

"Don't be angry first," Secretary Lily said with a smile. "Although it's useless now, it doesn't mean it won't be useful after being strengthened. Cosmic treasure-level resources can theoretically only be born innately, like the Source of Transcendence, but through acquired efforts, it may not be possible to upgrade a transcendent-god resource to the cosmic level as long as you find the right method."

"What do you mean?" Shi Yu asked, "You have a way to upgrade the level of this Samsara Fruit to the cosmic level?"

Secretary Lily said, "This fruit is indeed the most suitable resource I've seen in a long time. As expected of you fellow traversers, you really know what Her Majesty the Empress needs most. So, let's tamper with this fruit next."

Shi Yu understood what the other party meant. It was almost equivalent to upgrading the quality level of the Samsara Fruit, just like he wanted the Gem Cat Teacher to upgrade the quality level of the second-hand Source of Transcendence that it had dropped. It was just that he wanted to know how the other party wanted to do it.

"Have you heard of the Cosmic Tree?" Secretary Lily asked.

"What's that, Master?" The Cosmic Tree is a cosmic treasure that was born naturally in the universe. Although it's called a tree, it's not a life. Cosmic treasures that are born naturally in the universe also have levels. For example, the Source of Transcendence is the lowest level cosmic resource, while the Cosmic Tree is a more powerful cosmic resource. It is said that the Cosmic Tree records all the information of a cosmic epoch from its birth to its destruction. Through the Cosmic Tree, one can be omniscient and know everything that happens in the universe. It contains incredible space-time power."

"How come I've never heard of such a thing?" Shi Yu asked Ling, "Because in our timeline, the Cosmic Tree was destroyed for unknown reasons long ago, and like the Sixth Cosmic, traces of its existence are almost lost in the long river of history. I also updated the information after coming here and combining the information here with the information from our side."

Shi Yu looked at Secretary Lily and said, "Naturally, you know."

"That's good. I don't tell this secret to ordinary people. Besides being an encyclopedia, the Cosmic Tree has another effect, which is that its power can upgrade transcendent-god resources to the cosmic level. Although it will cause some damage to it, this is the only way I know to quickly upgrade this fruit to the cosmic level."

"You mean, next you're going to find this Cosmic Tree and use its power to upgrade the level of the Samsara Fruit again???"

"Wrong, not me, but you," Secretary Lily said with a smile. "Is your time still enough to make a trip? Master, this Cosmic Tree grows in the Cosmic Sea, but it's the Realm King's thing and is guarded by a transcendent-god peak guardian under the Realm King's command. Anyone who plots against the Cosmic Tree will be judged. Do you think I can get in touch with the Cosmic Tree?" Shi Yu asked. "You said before that we can't even beat ordinary transcendent-god peaks. That tree should have guardians, right?"

Secretary Lily said, "Of course I know this, but I believe you have a way."

"A way? Of course, they are the ones sent by the Realm King. Even besides the Time-Space Treasure Jade, the Realm King has prepared a lot of auxiliary props for them, such as battleship navigation energy, such as a token representing the Realm King's identity. If you use that token, the guardian of the Cosmic Tree should let you pass."

It was just that Shi Yu felt that this Secretary Lily already knew that he was sent by the Realm King and was now using him as a tool. If he went to borrow the power of the Cosmic Tree, the guardian there might not stop him, but if it was her, the Empress of Power, who went to borrow the power of the Cosmic Tree, then there would definitely be a conflict with the Realm King. In order to avoid impulsive actions, was this guy planning to let him go? According to normal history, was the destruction of the Cosmic Tree also done by the Empress of Power?

"Actually, it's still worth going," Secretary Lily said with a smile. "The Cosmic Tree is known as omniscient and omnipotent. Don't you want to take this opportunity to ask it some questions? If you miss this opportunity, you'll never have another chance."

This guy definitely knew his relationship with the Realm King and even knew that the Cosmic Tree would be destroyed in the future.

Shi Yu took a deep breath and said, "It's still a bit dangerous, right? Since you're so worried, why don't I go with you?"

Secretary Lily said, "I'll accompany you to the Cosmic Tree. Does that make you feel at ease? If there's any danger, then we'll bear it together. Although I'm just a weak woman, Her Majesty the Empress has left a protective method on me. If we encounter danger, Her Majesty the Empress will definitely come to rescue us."

"Hasn't the Empress of Power returned yet???"

"Not yet? There are not many or few Time Elves in the universe. It's not easy to catch these little guys. If you don't want them to run away, Her Majesty the Empress can only do it herself. It's estimated that she can catch them for a while. If you want to see her, then cooperate with me obediently to upgrade the Samsara Fruit. I'll help you contact Her Majesty the Empress then."

Shi Yu was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, let's go together."

Next, Shi Yu didn't know how he inexplicably teamed up with this secretary named Lily.

"This guy boarded Shi Yu's battleship and said very familiarly, "What do you want to ask when you get to the Cosmic Tree?""

Shi Yu thought to himself, I want to ask the Cosmic Tree, who are you? I want to ask about the method to break through to the cosmic level.

Shi Yu casually chose a topic to perfunctorily say.

"This is not something that must be answered by the Cosmic Tree. I can tell you," Secretary Lily said happily.

"Hmm? As long as you develop the most instinctive ability of the race to the extreme, it will be the cosmic level. The current five cosmic levels in the universe are all like this. The Realm King is a planetary life. Whether planetary life becomes transcendent or cosmic, it is a race with unique advantages. It only needs to directly absorb cosmic power. The Realm King is considered to be among the top five stars with talent potential in this cosmic epoch. It's not strange that it can become a cosmic level."

"What about the other four?" Shi Yu asked.

"The other four stars are actually theoretically better than the Realm King Star. The four of them originally had hope of becoming cosmic level earlier than the Realm King, but unfortunately, it was precisely because their qualifications were good enough that they were targeted by the Beast King. As a race of cosmic behemoths, the Beast King's race's most instinctive ability is to devour planets, so you understand, right? The other four stars have already become the Beast King's meal. Originally, the Realm King should have been devoured by the Beast King as well, but unfortunately, even after devouring the four most qualified stars, the Beast King still failed to advance. So, the Beast King judged that only by devouring a cosmic-level star could it perfectly advance. So, it began to assist the Realm King in breaking through without taking any further action until the Realm King completed the breakthrough and became a cosmic star. The Beast King began its invasion of the Realm King Star."

"It has to be said that this Beast King is very powerful. Although it was killed by the Realm King who had advanced to the cosmic level and was on the verge of death, it eventually succeeded in devouring part of the power of the Realm King Star under its long-term plan, and then it reincarnated to other places to recuperate and eventually completed the advancement."

"There's also the Dark King. It's even simpler. It's originally the embodiment of cosmic pollution. The race's most instinctive talent is the more life and territory it pollutes, the stronger its strength becomes. When it occupies most of the territory in the universe, when it creates countless polluted races, it will naturally complete the breakthrough."

"Hmm, there's also the queen of the Zerg Nest. Her most instinctive talent as a Star Zerg is similar to that of cosmic behemoths. However, cosmic behemoths devour planets, while she devours normal life. In the beginning, there were countless powerful races existing in this universe. Cosmic behemoths were not the strongest race in terms of comprehensive attributes, but now these races have all been exterminated, and the reason for their extermination is because they were all devoured by the Zerg Queen. As the strongest mutated individual in the Zerg race, the Zerg Queen also combined the best genes in the entire universe to complete the optimization of its own genes, thereby breaking through to..."

Cang Hai sent a message: "Cosmic level."

"Of course, the premise for completing all of this is that the foundation must be laid well enough. Otherwise, even if you get the opportunity to break through to the cosmic level, you will be in a bottleneck for the rest of your life."

"You should understand what I mean by the foundation, right? For example, when becoming a transcendent god, you must fuse the purest Source of Transcendence, not a Source of Transcendence that already has someone else's brand. The latter is considered that the foundation has not been laid well."

"What about the Cosmic Overlord?" Shi Yu asked, "As the strongest individual in the universe, how did it break through to the cosmic level? What is its racial ability?"

"Cosmic Overlord," Secretary Lily said, "Didn't I tell you just now that there were many races with unique advantages at the beginning of the universe that were stronger than the Cosmic Behemoth race? These races are actually more terrifying. Like planetary life, there are not many restrictions on them to break through to the transcendent god level or the cosmic level. What they lack is only time. It's not an exaggeration to say that they are cosmic races. As long as they grow up naturally, they have hope of reaching the cosmic level. It's just a pity that although this batch of powerful races are born strong, their growth path is not smooth. Just like I said just now, most of them died in the mouth of the Zerg Queen and became nutrients for others. As for the Cosmic Overlord, Cypos, it can be considered the only one of this batch of powerful cosmic races that has survived to this day. It is the most talented one even among those powerful cosmic races. Its journey to break through to the cosmic level can be said to be a legend, a legend of invincibility all the way. Other races cannot imitate it."

After Secretary Lily finished speaking, she continued to add, "So, if you want to break through to the cosmic level, you naturally have to develop your racial ability to the limit. Well, probably breaking through by contract with a cosmic level can be considered a success."

Lily said the same conclusion as the Foresight Owl and the others and even said a lot of information that the Astrologer race didn't know, once again showing knowledge that didn't match her identity.

Shi Yu was silent and asked, "Miss Lily, what on earth are you?"

Lily smiled, "I told you, I'm just a miserable tool person. These are all told to me by Her Majesty the Empress. When Her Majesty the Empress just started to wake up and look for memories, she was unfamiliar with this starry sky. I helped her a lot and explored many relics with her and made suggestions for her many times. It's also thanks to me helping her a lot before she became like this. Otherwise, how many people like me who want to hinder her plan wouldn't be enough for her to kill. Well, I'll give you the information just now as a reward for bothering you for so long. How is it? Has it solved some of the doubts in your heart?"

Shi Yu's heart tightened. Is the method to break through to the cosmic level just like this? Is it simpler than imagined but also difficult? If Eleven and Worm want to break through to the cosmic level, they also have to develop their original racial abilities to the extreme? Eleven is an iron-eating beast, so it has to rely on eating metal to become a cosmic level? But what kind of metal can support Eleven to become a cosmic level? You must know that the Beast King broke through to the cosmic level after eating the four best planetary lives with talents in this cosmic epoch and taking a bite of a cosmic-level star. Is there any metal that can compete with the quality of these planets?

If Worm wants to break through to the cosmic level, does it have to pupate and evolve again? The most instinctive talent of the Azure Silkworm is to pupate and evolve. Although it can't be compared with the talents of those powerful races, it seems that this is the most suitable path for Worm itself. No wonder Worm vaguely feels that it can't imitate Azure Dragon if it wants to go to the next level. It turns out that if you want to achieve the cosmic level, you have to develop the most original race.
