"Reject, I must reject it!” Driven by instinctive repulsion, Yu Zi Yu immediately mustered his strength to resist.
At the same time, he even began to try to resist the erosion of this unknown and majestic power by ‘consuming Evolution Points.’
Being the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao was no trivial matter. To a certain extent, it was like being the eyes of the Heavenly Dao.
No, in this brand new world, the Heavenly Dao could also be referred to as the ‘Consciousness of Cosmic Source.’ As such, Yu Zi Yu did not want to, nor dare to be the eyes of such a great entity.
In his past life as a Human, and now as a Tree, Yu Zi Yu had always been cautious and careful. It was this prudence that had allowed him to reach his current level.
He didn’t want all his efforts to go to waste.
Perhaps, by transforming into Jianmu, he could ascend to Heaven sooner, and could become the hegemon of a corner of the universe within a few years with the blessing of the Consciousness of Cosmic Source.
However, one thing was for sure: as he grew stronger, the Consciousness of Cosmic Source’ control over him would also grow deeper.
He might even be assimilated by the Consciousness of Cosmic Source.Yu Zi Yu, at present, did not believe that he could overpower the Consciousness of Cosmic Source. Such a great entity, even if it was newly born, was a power at least at Tier-7, or even Tier-8.
Such an existence was absolutely not something Yu Zi Yu could provoke right now.
As for schemes, unfortunately, in the face of absolute power, all schemes were just clownish tricks.
For now, Yu Zi Yu didn’t have the strength to resist the assimilation of the Consciousness of Cosmic Source. Perhaps, he could mount some resistance with the help of Evolution Points, but that would only be temporary.
But what about later? As the Consciousness of Cosmic Source continued to grow stronger, Yu Zi Yu would be completely powerless.
He could go on killing until he had infinite Evolution Points, but was that even possible?
The plundering of Evolution Points itself went against the Consciousness of Cosmic Source.
If Yu Zi Yu went on a killing spree, the first to deal with him would be the Consciousness of Cosmic Source.
“Uh…” A myriad of thoughts rushed through his mind. Yu Zi Yu had never expected to provoke such a fearsome entity.
It would have been okay if he had been at Tier-7 or Tier-8. He would have been able to play around with the Consciousness of Cosmic Source with his own strength.
Unfortunately, he was just a Tier-4 Transcendent, an ant that the Consciousness of Cosmic Source could wipe out with a mere breath.
Playing around with the Consciousness of Cosmic Source with his current strength, just the thought of it gave Yu Zi Yu jitters.
A fear originating from the depths of his Soul gripped Yu Zi Yu’s body, which further bolstered his resolve to resist that unknown and majestic power.
Visible to the naked eye, a nine-colored flame rose around Yu Zi Yu. That was the burning and boiling of Spiritual Energy.
Yu Zi Yu was using all his strength to resist the invasion of this unknown power.
And just then, as if sensing Yu Zi Yu’s resistance, the unknown and majestic power hesitated.
Faintly, Yu Zi Yu felt a very obscure fluctuation.
It seemed to be in doubt.
After all, being chosen by the Heavenly Dao or the Consciousness of Cosmic Source should have been a great honor. It could almost be considered as reaching Heaven in a single leap. So, how could anyone refuse?
Right at that very moment, Yu Zi Yu suddenly felt a shock, before he sensed that unknown and majestic power receding like a tide.
Under Yu Zi Yu’s strong resistance, the Consciousness of Cosmic Source chose to retreat.
However, after giving it a thought, Yu Zi Yu also found it reasonable.
Even if the Consciousness of Cosmic Source was newly born, it still highly valued fairness. It was a kind of Principle, an absolute Principle that everyone and everything had to abide by.
Since Yu Zi Yu chose to reject it, it would not force itself upon him. Otherwise, it would be contradicting the operation of the Consciousness of Cosmic Source itself.
…
*Haaaa…* Feeling the Consciousness of Cosmic Source retreating, Yu Zi Yu also let out a long, deep breath of relief.
[It’s finally over! This was more exhausting than a battle!] Feeling helpless, Yu Zi Yu could not help but shake his head. [Fortunately, the Consciousness of Cosmic Source retreated. If it kept pushing, I really had no idea what I would have done.] *Haaa…* A sigh escaped Yu Zi Yu’s lips as he began to assess his own condition.
All the powerhouses under his command were awakening various powers, while he almost became a puppet of the Consciousness of Cosmic Source.
Moreover, even though the Consciousness of Cosmic Source had left, it left him physically and mentally exhausted.
This was a classic case of having given away a bride, losing one’s army on top of it.
However, just as he was assessing his condition, Yu Zi Yu, much to his astonishment, discovered something.
It was a Towering Divine Tree, reaching as high as the sky, as if propping up the entire world.
“Jianmu!?” Somewhat startled, Yu Zi Yu immediately focused his mind on it.
In a moment, through some mysterious induction, Yu Zi Yu realized that this was a small part of Jianmu’s Quintessence, an extremely minuscule amount. However, for Yu Zi Yu, even this minuscule amount was extraordinarily vast.
Furthermore, at this moment, Yu Zi Yu also felt a warm power enveloping him.
“Well…” In disbelief, Yu Zi Yu felt his condition visibly improving at an observable speed.
What was even more terrifying was that as Yu Zi Yu recovered, his aura became stronger and stronger.
Faintly, his cultivation was charging towards a higher tier.
"So this is the compensation from the Consciousness of Cosmic Source…” Murmuring to himself, Yu Zi Yu looked up at the night sky, lost in thought.
The Consciousness of Cosmic Source was the epitome of fairness.
The Third Spiritual Energy Tide was originally a great opportunity bestowed by Heaven. However, because of its existence, Yu Zi Yu not only gained nothing but also suffered great losses.
So, karma was formed.
As the Consciousness of Cosmic Source, it naturally did not want to owe anyone karma. Therefore, it chose to leave behind a part of Jianmu’s Quintessence as compensation.
However, what the Consciousness of Cosmic Source might not know was how significant this minuscule part of Jianmu’s Quintessence was for Yu Zi Yu.
In the end, the current Yu Zi Yu was simply too weak. Thus, even the slightest gift from Heaven was a tremendous opportunity for him.
*Haaa…* Taking a deep breath, Yu Zi Yu began to digest this minuscule part of the Quintessence.
It was not much, one could even say it was very, very little. However, the key issue was that the real Jianmu was a terrifying existence of at least Tier-7 or even Tier-8.
And now, even this tiny fraction of it was a stroke of luck for Yu Zi Yu.
*Rumble, rumble, rumble…* Accompanied by thunderous rumbles, Yu Zi Yu’s eighty roots began to grow bigger and bigger at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Even his Primary Root couldn’t help but let out a roar, resembling a Dragon Roar, before it too began to undergo a transformation.
