My gorgeous wife Chapter 2016 - 1984: You Are Human, So Am I!

"Is it also one of the Seven Divine Trees?"

Upon hearing the Eternal World Tree speak, Li Chen’s curiosity was piqued.

"The Seven Divine Trees are distinct from us. As entities, they too can absorb energy and transform over the vast expanse of time. While they lack the ability to cultivate, this doesn't impede their metamorphosis through other means," the voice of Primordial Heavy Water resonated with a feeling that defied description.

"Indeed, they are still life forms," the Five Elements Boots remarked, their voice laced with envy, unlike the more reserved Primordial Heavy Water.

No matter how mighty they were, they were merely artifacts. Even with spiritual intelligence, they were not truly alive, unable to change or cultivate, destined only to be tools.

In contrast, the Seven Divine Trees possessed their own life. Even without cultivation, they could evolve in their own unique ways, forging a path toward greater heights and further horizons.

Although these Supreme Treasures were incredibly potent from birth, it simultaneously meant their future path was sealed. They could not advance, only drift through the river of time, forever denied a chance at liberation.

Li Chen fell silent for a moment, uncertain how to address this profound topic.

"Do you yearn for life?" he inquired after a brief pause.

"It is our deepest desire," the Bagua Array Diagram responded first. "However, we recognize it as an unattainable dream. Even the Supreme Heavenly Dao of the past could not bestow life upon us, nor could the rulers of any prior era..."

"Enough, Eight," the Primordial Heavy Water interjected with a reprimand.

The Bagua Array Diagram fell silent, ceasing its lament.

Li Chen remained quiet, imprinting this revelation in his mind.

"The World Tree and Jianmu possess their own world embryos; where have the others gone?" Li Chen directed his question to the Eternal World Tree.

According to Primordial Heavy Water, of the Five Great Divine Trees within the Seven Divine Trees, only the World Tree and Jianmu had made an appearance. Li Chen wondered if this was connected to their possession of world embryos.

"Isn't it evident?" the Eternal World Tree replied with a sigh of helplessness. "With their own world embryos, they have naturally taken root within them. I haven’t received any news regarding them for a long time, so I am unaware of where they have established their world embryos."

"Unlike the five of us, those two have, in a sense, already transcended. Perhaps one day, when their world embryos mature into a Great Accomplishment, they will evolve into a true world, a world equivalent in rank to the Starry Universe. At that point, they will become the creators of that realm. As creators, they will be omnipotent within that world, so why would they ever return to the Starry Universe?"

These words from the Eternal World Tree caused Li Chen’s heart to tremble slightly.

Could world embryos truly mature into a new, independent world?

A world on par with the Starry Universe?

Did this imply that he too possessed such potential...

"Alright, alright, after sharing so much, can you finally allow me inside?" the Eternal World Tree’s eagerness was palpable as it gazed at the other world held within Li Chen’s hand.

"You may enter," Li Chen responded with a smile, fully opening the portal to his minor world.

Instantly, the countless roots of the Eternal World Tree retracted and surged into Li Chen’s minor world.

Logically, with the Eternal World Tree anchored in the second layer of the minor world, its roots should have already permeate the entire landmass, securing it firmly. Unless it willed otherwise, no one could forcibly remove it.

Even if an immensely powerful entity could annihilate its physical form and sever its trunk, its roots would regenerate a new trunk elsewhere, rendering such an assault virtually ineffective.

However, the speed at which the Eternal World Tree withdrew all its roots in such a short span was astonishing, far exceeding the feat of absorbing all Heaven and Earth Essence into its body within mere breaths!

"Indeed... it truly is a world embryo!"

Upon its entry into Li Chen’s minor world, the Eternal World Tree couldn’t help but express its awe.

At this moment, a figure approached the Eternal World Tree. "A new resident? Welcome, welcome!"

This figure was the Ninth Order Formation Spirit.

"Hello, hello," the World Tree replied.

"I’ve resided here for quite some time; would you care for a tour?"

"Yes, please!"

Li Chen observed this pleasant exchange with a smile before casually closing the portal to his minor world.

As his cultivation continued to advance, his minor world underwent silent, yet astonishing, transformations.

Following two consecutive tribulations, the minor world underwent a profound, earth-shattering transformation. Its boundaries began an incredible expansion, and Li Chen’s pocket dimension started its metamorphosis into a larger world.

Once merely a storage space, this minor world has now become one of Li Chen’s most guarded secrets.

In certain regards, it holds even greater importance than a Supreme Treasure!

As the Divine Ability of Space-Time faded, Li Chen found himself alone, the Eternal World Tree having vanished along with the Heaven and Earth Essence.

A few cultivators nearby couldn't conceal their disappointment.

After all, it was evident that the ancient tree was no common treasure, and now that it had found a master, they were left with nothing.

Were it someone else, they might have gambled, perhaps rallying a group to attempt a seizure.

However, facing the black-clad youth before them, they wisely chose to abandon such thoughts.

This 'Madman' had, after all, withstood two Heavenly Tribulations and even dispersed the tribulation clouds!

One's own life is far more precious than any treasure.

At this moment, the Netherworld and Bai Shi gradually emerged from their cultivation states.

Upon seeing Li Chen observing them from a short distance, smiles graced their faces.

Though the Heaven and Earth Essence had dissipated, their prior quiet cultivation had already yielded significant gains.

Before their seclusion, Li Chen had strategically placed several Formation Guards around the pair, ensuring they remained undisturbed amidst the recent upheaval.

"It appears you've both benefited greatly," Li Chen commented with a smile, looking toward the two.

"Indeed," Bai Shi replied with a simple, happy grin, scratching his head. "I feel my Heaven Sovereign Soul Tribulation is imminent. I intend to stabilize my cultivation here, and once we depart, I will face the tribulation immediately."

"Excellent," Li Chen affirmed with a nod. "I shall stand guard for you during that time."

Bai Shi nodded in acknowledgment, no further words being necessary, given their profound bond forged through life and death.

Li Chen’s gaze then turned to the Netherworld.

"Your bloodline has undergone a reverse evolution," Li Chen stated softly.

"You are correct," the Netherworld confirmed without hesitation. "Each metamorphosis of the Myriad Gu involves a choice of transformation. This process accelerates the Myriad Gu bloodline's path toward achieving the ultimate divine skill: the Myriad Transformations Body."

Li Chen let out a soft sigh inwardly, nodding his assent. "What form do you plan to adopt this time?"

"Human!" the Netherworld declared with conviction. "Father, I am your son. You are of the Human Race, and therefore, I am also of the Human Race!"
