Chapter 755 Key of the Origin Point (5400)

This is the aura of the Wisdom Tree, there's absolutely no mistaking it!

Although she didn't know it at first, ever since visiting her older brother's personal space (and incidentally snagging an Exploration Reward for the 'Secret Realm · Zhuzhou Space'), Shao Shuangyue completely understood what kind of sacred tree produced those exceptionally delicious apples she had eaten several times.

She also chatted with the Sacred Tree and Sarah for a while. Shao Shuangyue, who had initially suspected that Su Zhou was hiding a lover, was disappointed to discover that the latter was, in a sense, just a common honeybee that guarded the trees at Su Zhou's home.

Of course, that wasn't the main point. The main point was that Shao Shuangyue had personally interacted with the Wisdom Tree and naturally understood its aura better than anyone else.

And now, the question arose.

Raising her head, the black-haired girl frowned, seriously staring at the cyan-haired ghost girl who was gradually approaching her and the others.

She sensed that incomparably familiar aura from the other party.

"This person… is actually the spirit of a Wisdom Tree?!"

"Although the details are different, there's no doubt that it's the spirit of a Wisdom Tree. There's no way I'm wrong. At most, the one nurtured in Zhou-ge's (brother) personal space is more nourished and stronger, and also carries a bit of Zhuzhou aura due to the influence of Zhou-ge's power."

The aura of the Wisdom Tree before her was extremely pure.

For a time, Shao Shuangyue couldn't help but fall into silent contemplation.

Although Xingying didn't know what the black-haired girl was thinking, she could also tell that both the sacred tree warship and the girl's spirit possessed an exceptionally vast and grand aura, similar to the Ten Heavens Divine System and the Four Forbidden Zones, but also completely different from them.

After the cyan-haired ghost girl reached a safe distance from the Flying Rainbow, she elegantly bowed and said: 【We sincerely apologize for disturbing your mission.】

【My name is 'Yin', and my younger brother's name is 'Bai'. I don't have a physical body, I'm just a soul, and my younger brother is the starship you can see. That is his body.】

As she spoke, the girl who called herself Yin pointed to the starship on the side, and the starship also emitted a humming sound in agreement: 【Before this, my brother and I were just indigenous residents of the 'Wilderness Planet · Aikaduo', and had never come into contact with the transcendent. We just lived peacefully in a wilderness village… But because of the 'Key of the Origin Point', we turned into this form and were hunted down by the Heavenly Gods…】

As she said this, the girl's tone was somewhat dim, but she quickly regained her composure: 【Originally, we thought that the luckiest and unluckiest beings in this universe were just my brother and I… But now, we've met you.】

【We do have evidence that can prove that the reason your spaceship is being hunted is likely the same as us: because you came into contact with the divine object, the 'Key of the Origin Point'.】

Saying this, Yin raised her hand without any hesitation.

At the center of her palm, a hazy, indescribable light suddenly shone, as if it contained all the colors.

A misty aura spread.

Shao Shuangyue didn't feel anything. Funiya, who had already joined the Flying Rainbow, didn't feel anything unusual either, only sighing, 'How many Exploration Points could this thing sell for if it were made into a gem?'

However, Xingying suddenly shuddered.

She suddenly felt something deep within her soul vibrating and resonating. It was a power that was the same as the light point in Yin's hand, but even more vast and profound, like a leviathan beast beneath the sea, about to surface with towering waves and roar.

The roar had already been unleashed.

In an instant, a halo exactly the same as the light point in Yin's hand suddenly floated out from Xingying's body, hovering above the back of her head, slowly rotating.

In just a moment, both the halo behind Xingying's head and the light point in Yin's hand disappeared, returning to their respective bodies.

But as if waking from a dream, Xingying trembled. She raised her head, looking with surprise and uncertainty at the ghost girl not far away, and the sacred tree warship.

"I… That, that's the Key of the Origin Point? Chengdao…"

She muttered to herself, with a mix of realization and deep bewilderment: "Key of the Origin Point… inside my body?!"

"Why?"

Many questions have no why.

"What they said is true… Although I don't know why, but inside my body, there seems to be the power of the Key of the Origin Point… or even a Key of the Origin Point itself?"

After thinking for a while, Shao Shuangyue, having received Xingying's confirmation, frowned, but ultimately decided to continue communicating with Yin and Bai for a while.

The cyan-haired ghost girl smiled and waited.

She was also looking forward to it… Looking forward to someone like herself.

Soon, the conversation began.

In fact, the matter was simple.

Yin and Bai were natives of a wilderness planet. Their parents had once been nobles of the kingdom, but were exiled to a remote town due to a failed political struggle, living a life of poverty.

The civilization level of that planet was only at the beginning of industrialization, and the remote town where they lived had nothing to do with industry. The people in such remote towns were unenlightened, and there was little arable land. Exiling them there was simply sentencing these once pampered nobles to death.

In fact, Yin and Bai's parents did die of illness soon after. On the other hand, the two siblings, because of their youth and good health, survived the initial illness and actually recovered. They were also adopted by an old herbalist who had no children, and learned the craft of collecting herbs and treating diseases.

But the old herbalist also passed away a few years later. Without any support, the older Yin could only make a living by collecting and making medicine, supporting herself and her younger brother.

However, the political enemies in the kingdom obviously didn't want to let go of their opponents. After learning that the two siblings were still alive, assassins came to the border town, killed the younger brother, and forced the older sister into a deep rift in the mountains.

This rift was incomparably deep. With the technology of the kingdom at that time, it was impossible to detect how deep or long it was, but if viewed from outside the atmosphere, it could be discovered that the entire continent of the wilderness planet was divided into two halves by this rift, which could be said to have cleaved the planet open.

The older sister naturally died as well, but Yin's spirit was illuminated by an extremely powerful divine object deep within the mysterious magnetic field of the rift, gaining power.

Having obtained power, Yin returned to the town, retrieved her younger brother's body, and brought her younger brother's ignorant soul back to the depths of the rift, where it was illuminated by the divine object, causing her younger brother Bai to come back to life.

However, after being illuminated, Bai's physical body underwent extremely drastic changes. He transformed from a human into a tree, taking root in the depths of the rift and constantly growing by absorbing the power of the earth veins.

Originally, if it was just like this, it wouldn't be so bad. Her younger brother was still alive, and she also had power. The two siblings could live in seclusion, occasionally traveling together in soul form in the forest, and occasionally possessing small animals to enter the city and observe the changes in the world.

However, because they frequently accepted the illumination of the divine object, their power increased too quickly, to the point that it attracted the attention of the Imperial Balance Dao, which was patrolling the surrounding star field.

The first evil god to arrive discovered Yin and Bai, and naturally discovered the divine object. He was naturally extremely shocked, and then wanted to recover the divine object, and incidentally capture the two siblings, who were quite special and had awakened considerable power.

Speaking of this, Yin was somewhat vague, but everyone knew what happened next.

The two siblings fled all the way, avoiding the pursuit of the Imperial Balance Dao, and came to this place, encountering Shao Shuangyue and the others.

And that divine object, needless to say, was the 'Key of the Origin Point'.

【When we came into contact with the Key of the Origin Point, we were both on the verge of despair. I only had a soul, and my brother was already dead, only having a physical body… Our only wish was to survive, we wanted to survive no matter what, even revenge was fine, the most important thing was that we didn't want to die.】

【Thus, we obtained the power to survive. I became a spirit residing on my brother's giant tree incarnation, and my brother became the giant tree itself. If there are no accidents, we will exist forever, until the end of the stars, and even the end of the universe.】

The cyan-haired ghost girl muttered to herself. She probably really wanted to tell someone all of this, right?

After all, in the final analysis, both she and Bai were just young children, even to Shao Shuangyue, but they had to directly face the pursuit of the most powerful cosmic god system in this world, the pursuit of a Heavenly Venerate.

Even if they had obtained the favor and inheritance of the Sacred Tree, and transformed into spirits and sacred trees, it was still extremely difficult.

This time, they finally encountered similar people, so naturally they wanted to talk about it.

Xingying also felt quite sympathetic. This was also why she was willing to stop and spend her precious time communicating with the other party.

However, on the other side, Shao Shuangyue and Funiya, the two pioneer explorers, had discovered doubts.

"Did you notice, Shuangyue-mei (little sister)?"

Coming to the bridge, the red-haired woman straightened her hair, then looked sharply at the sacred tree warship on the other side of the light screen: "The part they omitted is quite important."

Shao Shuangyue nodded, narrowing her eyes: "Of course, there are too many doubts."

——First of all, Yin didn't say how she knew the name 'Key of the Origin Point'.

According to what she said before, she was a native of a wilderness planet, so she couldn't possibly know the general term for the divine object in the cosmic god system—not to mention that only the related Mech Gods are relatively clear about the Key of the Origin Point in the major god systems. Other Mech Gods at most only know a characteristic and a name.

There was no way she could have known these things from others, even if the Imperial Balance Dao immortals themselves said it, it wouldn't have been possible for Yin to show such familiarity in her words.

And most importantly… even if they naturally awakened to become Sacred Tree dependents, Yin and Bai couldn't have become so powerful. From ordinary people who didn't know anything about the transcendent, they became 'powerhouses' who could drive starships and avoid the pursuit of a Heavenly Venerate!

Yes, powerhouses.

Don't look at how embarrassed these two siblings are when running away. In fact, in terms of mobility, ordinary Mech Gods can't compare to them, let alone Overlords. Even if they don't know any attack methods, they should have the hard strength of an Overlord level!

And the Overlord level, even in the Creation Realm, can be called a God Ascender, so naturally they are powerhouses.

Funiya nodded.

As a seasoned explorer, her sensitivity to clues far surpassed others.

In the eyes of the red-haired beauty, it was very likely that Yin and Bai had not resisted the 'capture' by the Imperial Balance Dao Mech Gods, because they were originally indigenous people of a wilderness planet who worshiped these Heavenly Gods, and were marginalized people excluded from the civilization system. As long as the Imperial Balance Dao immortals didn't kill them, why would they choose to resist the gods in their eyes?

And the sacred tree warship that Bai, the younger brother, transformed into, was obviously a form that ordinary sacred trees couldn't possibly form. At least not a form that ordinary sacred trees could grow in a few years, especially the large number of hyperspace jump modules. No one would believe that they weren't loaded on later.

"'Enlightenment Bud' and 'Eternal Root'… so it's these two supreme inheritances? That does indeed fit their previous desire and thoughts of wanting to survive."

Through the identification of the Pioneer Space, the inheritance held by the other party was also very clear.

Although they knew that the other party was hiding something, these were all small matters. Who doesn't have a little secret?

At least Shao Shuangyue and the others felt that these two children were indeed relatively simple-minded. Even if they wanted to hide something, it was just a simple matter of not saying it.

And the reason why the other party was able to awaken the Sacred Tree inheritance seemed to be because of the power of the Key of the Origin Point.

"What kind of power does the Key of the Origin Point have that can allow ordinary mortals to directly ascend to the sky in one step, become the most powerful dependents, and obtain the supreme inheritance?"

This was what troubled the two pioneer explorers. Shao Shuangyue tilted her head slightly and looked at the white-haired Dragon Girl who was still frowning and thinking. She couldn't help but ponder: "The Key of the Origin Point that Ansonte transported was sealed and didn't show too many miracles. We don't know what its essence is now."

"And Xingying is a Zhuzhou, and also a Chengdao Dragon… Her body, her soul, seems to contain the power of the Key of the Origin Point, and even seems to have a Key of the Origin Point?"

If that was the case, then it wouldn't be unreasonable for Xingying to be hunted down by the major god systems.

So far, according to the information obtained by Shao Shuangyue and the others, there are a total of six Keys of the Origin Point that have appeared in the world.

Among them, the Vortex of Conflict and the Extreme Heaven Tower, two major Forbidden Zones, share one.

The Creation Dao, the Extinction Dao, and the Apocalypse Dao each have one.

The Dark Abyss Dao and the Rotation Dao each have one.

Among them, the one of the Rotation Dao was stolen from the transaction between the Creation Dao and the Luo Heaven Dao. Ansonte played the final transportation role in it.

In other words, before this, the Creation Dao was equivalent to holding two Keys of the Origin Point, which was one-third of the total number of Keys of the Origin Point that had appeared in the world. This was enough to prove that they were indeed the first of the many god systems in the Creation Realm.

Although Shao Shuangyue and Funiya didn't know what the effect of the Key of the Origin Point was, but thinking about it now, it might have some relationship with the power of the Great Existence… If that was the case, then it would indeed be enough to make many cosmic god systems and Forbidden Zones fight each other.

It is said that there are a total of ten Keys of the Origin Point, and six have now appeared in the world, with four more waiting to be discovered.

The Chengdao Dragon seems to carry one.

"It seems that we have really been dragged into a big trouble…" Looking at her good little sister who had taken the initiative to come to her, the black-haired girl reached out and touched Xingying's head, muttering to herself.

And this question obviously troubled Su Zhou as well.

"Yala, and the Twin Sacred Trees, what exactly is this Key of the Origin Point?"

In the space bubble, Su Zhou opened his eyes.

He said to himself in the soul space with some confusion: "Being illuminated by this thing can allow one to obtain the supreme divine power of the Great Existence? The Heavenly God Scale, the Galaxy Star, aren't this strong, right? Or are those two kids lying?"

【That is indeed my inheritance, strange, but I didn't sense a response.】

【They can also obtain my favor in other worlds. Although they won't directly get the supreme inheritance, this pure state of mind can at least carry some power to escape danger.】

The World Tree and the Great Dao Tree, through Su Zhou's eyes, also saw the exchange between Yin and Bai and Shao Shuangyue's group. They were also somewhat puzzled.

The Great Existence is connected to all of its dependents. They do not govern their dependents and clans. As long as they fulfill their Dao, this power is eternal and will never be deprived.

Even if it is evil, it is the intelligent life that chooses to be evil, and it is their freedom.

However, in any case, the Great Existence knows all of this.

However, the two Sacred Trees did not know the power of Yin and Bai.

However, the inheritance was true.

【Could it be… really?】 The World Tree seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help but say in a low voice.

【There's no need to say it! It's that "could it be"!】 The Great Dao Tree nodded seriously in response.

"Don't be cryptic!" The former cryptic one, now being cryptically spoken to, Yala, was naturally extremely angry. He slapped the tree roots with his snake tail and said, "Quickly say what exactly is that 'could it be'!"

The Twin Sacred Trees laughed and said directly: 【The Key of the Origin Point is likely to condense the remaining power imprints of many Great Existences in the Creation Realm, and our power is naturally contained within it.】

【This oddity can, to some extent, directly call upon some of the power we left in the Creation Realm, and select dependents and grant divine powers in our place.】

Saying this, the Great Dao Tree's totem swayed slightly, seemingly shaking its head: 【This can explain why there was no organization of our dependents in that world, but suddenly high-level dependents appeared.】

【The problem is, why? Why does such an oddity appear in the Creation Realm? Although it is said that anything can appear in the original world of creation, but this kind of oddity that intercepts the power of the Great Existence must be powerful to a certain extent, or a miracle of the universe, to be able to do it!】

【Moreover, the power of that Key of the Origin Point seems to be not only our power, but also mixed with the power of other Great Existences… Very peculiar, even we have never seen it before.】

This question has no answer, Su Zhou can only see it with his own eyes to know.

"Interesting, it seems that Xingying, and the Creation Ruins where she was born, definitely have some great secret behind them."

Standing in front with his hands behind his back, Su Zhou looked at the Creation Realm that was getting closer and closer, releasing icy blue light: "What is the purpose of the major god systems in pursuing the Key of the Origin Point? They were originally the pinnacle of dependents, and the Harmonious Dao Weapon might even be formed by the combination of the Three Supreme Inheritances… Interesting, interesting, it's indeed the most normal original world I've ever seen."

Just as the young man was sighing, he suddenly gave a light "hmm": "Hmm? So fast? As expected of a cosmic god system, if they suffer a loss, they will immediately pay it back."

He raised his eyebrows, his gaze once again passing through time and space, focusing on Shao Shuangyue and the others.

Then, he fulfilled his duty as an older brother.

*Bang!*

"Ouch!"

In the Flying Rainbow, Shao Shuangyue, who was exchanging some detailed information with Yin, suddenly felt as if her shoulder had been heavily patted for some reason.

The girl angrily looked around to see who was joking with her—but soon, she heard a familiar voice.

"Silly girl, quickly turn on the radar to scan the surroundings, you don't even know you're surrounded!"

There's no need to say who this voice is. Shao Shuangyue naturally knew the importance of Su Zhou's special message, so she forcibly swallowed the words she wanted to complain about, and then turned on the Flying Rainbow's hyperspace radar as quickly as possible.

Then, everyone gasped.

Because they saw that the Flying Rainbow and the sacred tree warship were surrounded by densely packed mass light spots!

And those light spots… were all the massive star beasts that had seemed to scatter and flee before, shepherded by Lord Steel Feather!

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
