National Gardener: I can choose the evolution path of spiritual plants.

Chapter 243 Seeking the Path
Lin Zhi knew very well that the dilemma he faced stemmed from a profound paradox.

He must follow the path set by the saint as the cornerstone of his growth and hope that the saint is cultivating him sincerely rather than for some ulterior motive.

At the same time, he also needs to pray that the saint will not need his help when he is revived, and will accept him as a disciple after he has achieved success.

However, such a choice is full of uncertainty. Lin Zhi cannot be sure of the saint's true intentions, nor can he predict the future direction.

On the other hand, he can choose to forge an entirely new path on his own.

This path has no precedent and no clear guidance, and requires him to explore and practice with his own wisdom and courage.

This is a path full of challenges and risks, but it may also be the only way to success.

During the process of deep thinking, Lin Zhi gradually realized that perhaps what he could rely on was the Prophet Tree of the World Tree.

This magical tree possesses the characteristics of "unknown". It can reveal the truth hidden behind things and help Lin Zhi see the road ahead clearly.

Therefore, Lin Zhi decided to seek help from the prophet tree. He hoped that with its power, he could find the right path for himself and find his own direction in this complicated world.

Time flies, and a thousand years pass in a flash. Under the wise leadership of Meng Xingchen, the Human Alliance has gone through untold hardships and finally succeeded in defeating 8 mythical civilizations, achieving the feat of promotion miracle.

At the same time, the other four civilizations - the Sower Civilization, the Guardian Civilization, the Dark Abyss and the Kingdom of God's Grace - also successfully advanced to miracle civilizations through their respective efforts.

Among them, the Dark Abyss and the Kingdom of God chose to rely on the Undead Civilization and the Player Civilization respectively, and used their power to gain a shortcut to promotion.

The Sower Civilization took refuge with the Zerg Civilization, while the Guardian Civilization chose the Undead Civilization as their shelter.

However, all this was within the calculations of the four old epic civilizations.

They used the platform of the game "Battle for Hegemony over All Heavens and All Worlds" to quietly launch a backup plan to directly devour these four epic civilizations and make them a part of themselves.

As a result, the pattern of the entire void domain changed dramatically, leaving only the four old miracle civilizations and the new epic civilization of the Human Alliance.

Lin Zhi thought that the annexation war would continue, however, at this moment, he received an invitation letter from the player civilization.

There were only four eye-catching characters on the cover of the invitation letter - "Taoism beyond Taoism".

These four words seemed to contain endless mysteries and temptations, causing a strong impulse to surge in Lin Zhi's heart.

He knew very well that there must be some important information or opportunity hidden behind this invitation letter.

Maybe it's about a higher level of power, or maybe it's about a completely new path beyond the existing one.

No matter which possibility it is, it is enough to move Lin Zhi.

So, Lin Zhi decided to accept the invitation and go to the player civilization to find out.

He believes that this will be a journey full of challenges and opportunities, and will also be a key step for him to reach a higher level.

After reading the invitation letter, Lin Zhi understood that this was a joint invitation signed by the four old-fashioned miracle civilizations, and the main content was to discuss the promotion and consequences of the immortal civilization.

After reading the invitation letter carefully, Lin Zhi learned that this was an invitation jointly issued by the four old miracle civilizations to discuss the promotion and future problems of the immortal civilization.

Once civilizations reach the pinnacle of miracles, the gap in strength between each other will be minimal, and it will be difficult to determine the winner easily.

Therefore, the way to solve the problem is no longer limited to war, but can be achieved through alliances.

Of course, this does not include those civilizations that were born from the method of raising insects.

This is also the reason why the four wonder civilizations are willing to sit down and discuss together.

At this moment, there were only five towering world trees left standing in the entire void domain.

Under the world canopy, apart from the five worlds, there is nothingness. Even the turbulence in the void has disappeared, just like a vacuum zone in the vast starry sky.

Above the five world trees are eight immortal worlds. Although there is no civilization in these worlds, it does not mean that they are lifeless.

After all, as we all know, the World Tree itself evolved from immortal creatures.

The meeting place mentioned in the invitation letter is a void continent similar to a void battlefield.

This continent is suspended in the void, like a shining pearl in the universe, waiting for the arrival of powerful people from all sides.

Lin Zhi was well aware of the importance of this meeting. It not only concerned the future development of the Human Alliance, but also the fate of the entire Void Domain.

Therefore, he decided to attend the meeting in person and discuss with representatives of other civilizations the path to advancement of the immortal civilization and how to deal with potential consequences.

The moment he set foot on the Void Continent, Lin Zhi felt unprecedented pressure and challenges.

But he also understands that only by facing all this bravely can he lead the Human Alliance to a more glorious future.

Before Lin Zhi set off, the beautiful woman quietly appeared beside him.

Lin Zhi was somewhat surprised by her appearance, and he couldn't help but look up and asked doubtfully:
"Senior, what are you doing...?"

The beautiful woman smiled and explained, "I also need to attend this meeting. It concerns our future."

After hearing this, Lin Zhi nodded to show his understanding.

After all, if what the saint said was true, then these immortal beings were destined to become fertilizer, and he himself could only be considered a seed at best, and would most likely face the fate of being devoured in the end.

The two quickly arrived at the meeting venue through quantum teleportation.

Lin Zhi looked around and saw an old man made up of countless data, a golden skeleton, an extremely magnificent mecha and a graceful woman standing there.

He understood instantly that these people were the representatives of the four great miracle civilizations: player civilization, undead civilization, intelligent machine civilization and Zerg civilization.

And those four strange and terrifying monsters are probably the immortal creatures behind these civilized worlds.

While the World Tree is swallowing up the world, it is actually helping these immortal creatures devour the essence of their own kind.

Now, these four immortal creatures have devoured countless immortal beings that have not yet revived. One can imagine how powerful they are.

When the representatives of the four miracle civilizations saw Lin Zhi and the beautiful woman coming, smiles appeared on their faces.

They greeted him warmly and congratulated Lin Zhi: "Brother Lin, congratulations on your promotion to Miracle. You are just one step away from achieving immortality."

Lin Zhi responded modestly, but he knew in his heart that this tiny gap might be an insurmountable chasm.

He is fully aware of the heavy responsibility he shoulders. He not only has to fight for his own destiny, but also has to work hard for the future of the entire human alliance and even the entire void domain.

The old man made up of data was now calling "Brother Lin" enthusiastically, as if he had long forgotten his previous condescending attitude that looked down on all living beings as ants.

"A single thread can create a chasm. You seniors should know this better than I do, otherwise you wouldn't have specially invited me here." Lin Zhi said modestly.

The old man laughed and responded, "There is still hope for a better outcome. Come, come, go into the main hall and have a rest first." As he spoke, he enthusiastically led Lin Zhi towards the conference hall.

On the other side, four strange monsters met the beautiful woman and made an inexplicable sound. Although Lin Zhi couldn't understand or even hear the sound, he could feel the mysterious and ancient atmosphere.

The beautiful woman slowly changed, her human form disappeared, and was replaced by a giant slimy octopus.

Lin Zhi couldn't help but think that if those dog lovers in the Dog Lovers Association saw their beloved president in this state, their hearts would probably collapse. After both parties sat down, the data old man waved his hand lightly, and countless data were quickly reorganized in front of everyone's table, turning into plates of rare and delicious food.

"Everything in this world can be digitized, and digitization can digitize everything. Fellow Taoists, whatever you think in your heart will come true." The old man explained with a smile.

Lin Zhi picked up a glass of wine and tasted it, praising: "It's really good, haha, it's really delicious."

Time passed unnoticed as the two sides clinked glasses and toasted each other.

After three rounds of drinking, Lin Zhi couldn't help but ask, "Seniors, how do we interpret the Dao beyond the Dao?

The old man smiled mysteriously and pointed to the sky.

"Immortal world?" Lin Zhi asked doubtfully.

"That's not the case." The old man shook his head and continued.
“Although we have not ascended to the immortal world, Allah has already communicated with the beings in the immortal world.

Due to the existence of the power of the saints, it is difficult for civilization to be born in the immortal world, so it is desolate.

And above the immortal world is an eternal world that eternal beings transform into after death.”

At this time, the beautiful woman transformed from a monster into a human again, with a smile on her face, and added
: “Yes, eternity was once born among us.

However, the moment eternity was born, it was wiped out by the existence from outside the void.

We have never known the reason. We speculate that it may be because we carried the traces of saints on our way to eternity, and thus were killed by means similar to the Qi lock. "

“But Eternity did not leave any clues before dying.

As an eternal existence, how could it be wiped out completely?

It must have left some information. Moreover, the attack came from the sky, breaking the original avenue environment of the void domain, which is equivalent to dropping a drop of ink into this closed "dead pond". "

“This is the channel through which we observe the outside world. It is also your third way to bypass the arrangements of the saints and ascend to immortality.” The beautiful woman explained.

"No, that's not right!" Lin Zhi suddenly interrupted.

"If I take this third path, even if we avoid the internal crisis, how can we deal with the saintly enemies outside the void? After all, I have learned their ways."

"We will sort things out when the time comes." The old man Data took over the conversation, "We now need to explore the Eternal Realm and obtain more intelligence information.

Before that, we need to become immortal first."

"Promote Immortality?" Lin Zhi was stunned, and then his face became alert. He knew very well that if he wanted to become immortal, he would need to devour the world, and that meant going to war.

"Brother Lin, don't misunderstand." The old man explained quickly.

“Immortal beings are different from us. Their existence is indescribable, and it is possible for them to have five souls in one body.

We plan to merge the five realms, then ascend to immortality and upgrade the world.

After the world is upgraded, we can choose to merge with the other eight immortal worlds again and advance to eternity.

Of course, we will never be promoted to eternity until the last step. After all, promotion to eternity means that the fruit is ripe and we will be harvested. "

Lin Zhi nodded to show that he understood.

"Now that we've spoken, let's listen to the opinions of the seniors."

Since the beautiful woman has no objection, it means that this method is indeed feasible, and Lin Zhi has nothing to stop it.

Besides, he already has his own inner world within his body, so the destruction and promotion of the alliance cannot affect his progress in cultivation.

All relatives and friends are in the inner world, with no worries.

Therefore, no matter what decision the woman makes, I have no opinion.

So while everyone was chatting and laughing, the five miracle worlds merged.

Lin Zhi sat on this continent and looked at the entire void domain.

As the miracle world merged, the world tree was seen rising higher and higher, and the world rose with it.

Soon, it broke through the restrictions and drilled into the higher void domain.

"let's go!"

The old man called out, because the World Tree is like Pangu supporting the sky, holding up the world, this metal continent can rise to a higher level of the void domain.

As the position rose, Lin Zhi saw the top of the void domain at a glance.

There is still terrifying void turbulence in the void domain where the immortal world is located, which makes his world, which has already expanded to the limit of miracles, extremely excited and greedily absorbs material resources.

He looked around and found that this void sea was filled with numerous desolate worlds.

These worlds were immortal, and he saw no plants or animals of any kind on them.

There are a total of eighty of them!

After all, eternity is only the realm of Daluo Jinxian, while saints are already Hunyuan, a whole level lower.

The debris left behind by the saint's death cannot give birth to only one eternal world.

As the world was promoted, phantoms of monsters floated out from their respective immortal worlds and flew towards Lin Zhi and others.

“Is this the reincarnation of the saint?”

"Or a container."

The monsters transformed into humans and looked at Lin Zhi curiously.

Facing these immortal creatures, Lin Zhi responded politely.

During this period, he noticed that in addition to one world, there were also two stars in the Eternal Domain above the Void Domain where the Immortal World was located.

The real stars are the Moon and the Sun.

They illuminated the entire void.

The moons and suns of all worlds are their projections.

The light emitted by the lunar sun illuminates the void, allowing life to be born in the world.

Lin Zhi couldn't help but wonder what would happen if he picked the Taiyin and Sun and transplanted them into his own world?
But then he gave up the idea, not saying it's impossible to do it.

The most important thing now is to climb the Eternal Domain and obtain information.
