Fairy, listen to my explanation.

Chapter 655 Unknown Overlord
In the darkness, a withered arm suddenly rose, its fingertips tracing the void. The void, which even a half-saint realm being could hardly shake, was easily torn open with a pitch-black crack. Within the crack, countless fine golden lines filled with profound fluctuations could be vaguely seen breaking free from their restraints and flowing towards the depths.

"The Tree of Life has been revived?"

"When the Great Dao declines, the Tree of Life should wither. Why then has it revived?"

The hoarse voice grew even more somber.

In the main hall, a cold wind suddenly swept through, and eight figures appeared silently beneath the throne. They were all different in shape and knelt on one knee, their scarlet eyes standing out starkly in the darkness.

"dominate."

The eight figures whispered in unison, their heads slightly lowered, not daring to look directly at the throne.

"Wuyuan, the Tree of Life has been revived, the rules of heaven and earth are being repaired, and the Great Dao is escaping my control."

On the throne, a cold gaze swept over them, finally settling on the figure at the very front.

"Your Majesty, please give your orders."

The figure at the top of the group tilted its head slightly, revealing a face as pale as paper. Below its right eye, a blood-red line writhed as if it were alive.

"The Tree of Life has fully recovered, and the Great Dao that I have devoured over the past thousand years will return to the world completely."

"You must immediately conquer the Immortal Abode Continent and open up the passage to the Immortal Kingdom Continent."

"At that time, I will personally take action to destroy the Tree of Life."

His hoarse voice was like a cold wind from the depths of hell. The figure on the throne slowly rose, and with his movement, the earth deep within the Dark Prison Realm began to tremble slightly.

"I will go and prepare immediately."

The figure known as Wuyuan spoke respectfully without the slightest hesitation.

"and many more."

The Sovereign's voice rang out again. After a pause, he said, "If we encounter that old thing, there's no need to fight him head-on. What I want is to open the passage to the Immortal Kingdom Continent."

Wu Yuan bowed and accepted the order, then he and the seven figures transformed into black smoke and disappeared from the main hall.

Holy Heaven Academy.

A crimson light streaked past, transforming into a graceful figure that landed in front of the fairy-eyed girl, Su Qingyue.

The figure had short, neat hair and exuded a terrifying aura. However, when he looked at the girl, his eyes, which were like those of a ferocious beast, softened slightly.

"Sister, when did you get back?"

Su Qingyue raised her small face, looking at the figure in front of her with surprise and delight.

A year ago, Zhou Qingtong's injuries had healed. Apart from her daily cultivation, she would almost always venture into the Dark Prison Realm for training.

It was precisely because of this that she possessed such overwhelming murderous aura.

That was something gained through countless life-and-death experiences.

"Since the Lord of the Manor summoned me, I returned ahead of schedule."

Zhou Qingtong explained, reaching out to smooth her slightly disheveled hair. Perhaps, this was the only side of her she would show to the fairy-eyed girl.

"Come with me."

At this moment, the old woman came out of the room, looking out at the sky. Her eyes, which were originally somewhat cloudy, appeared exceptionally deep.

"Grandma Yao, what happened? Should I go to the Immortal Kingdom Continent to invite Qin Yu over?"

A glint of light flashed in Su Qingyue's beautiful eyes as she asked impatiently.

She possesses the psychic eyes, but with such an extraordinary physique, she needs a vast amount of resources to grow. Currently, she is only comparable to a strong person at the 20th or 30th step of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and has not yet been able to touch upon the affairs of the higher-ups in the Heavenly Palace.

The old woman's lips twitched.

Even if there were a real need, it would be to ask for figures like Emperor Yan and Emperor Qin.

Qin fish?

He's only at the Foundation Establishment stage, a few dozen steps away. Is it really necessary to go all the way to the Immortal Kingdom to invite him over?
This girl is clearly just looking for an excuse to go to the Immortal Kingdom to find that guy.

What puzzled the old woman was that although Su Qingyue was playful, she had never seemed so eager to see anyone before. Could it be that she was drawn to the Immortal Kingdom?
The old woman didn't offer any further explanation and quickly left with Zhou Qingtong.

Zhou Qingtong possesses the bloodline of the Human Emperor. Although her Great Dao is not yet perfected, she can temporarily control the power of origin through secret techniques, unleashing combat power comparable to a half-saint.

She is also one of the few people who, before even reaching the Half-Saint Realm, is qualified to attend the high-level meetings of the Tianfu Continent.

The main hall on the top floor of the Holy Heaven Academy.

Inside the hall, seven imposing men and women had already taken their seats. The old woman led Zhou Qingtong in and skillfully sat down in her assigned spot, with the latter standing behind her.

A moment later, an aged figure appeared in the hall, surrounded by a faint glow that obscured his true appearance.

"Tianzun."

Upon seeing this, the medicine woman and her companions all stood up and bowed.

"No need to be polite."

Zhu Tianzun raised his hand slightly, walked straight to the main seat and sat down, his voice slightly solemn: "I have summoned you all because there is something to discuss."

He took out a jade slip and placed it on the table. The next moment, the jade slip was surrounded by fluorescent light and projected an image. It was a huge phantom of a divine tree with mysterious patterns flowing on its branches and every leaf exuding a powerful vitality.

"The World Tree has been revived."

Zhu Tianzun's voice was calm, yet it caused everyone present to change their expressions in astonishment.

"This is real?"

An elderly man with red hair suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Since the defeat in the battle more than a thousand years ago, the human race has been weakened. In the Dark Prison Realm, there are supreme beings who capture the Great Dao and take the opportunity to devour it.

Over the years, even though human cultivators have sensed it, they have been powerless to stop it, and could only watch helplessly as the Great Dao was gradually eroded.

As the Great Dao collapses, the World Tree, which is intimately connected with heaven and earth, will inevitably wither and eventually perish completely.

When the Tree of Life withers completely, the path of cultivation for human cultivators will become as difficult as ascending to heaven. At that time, they will probably only be able to barely maintain their cultivation by relying on the foundation left by the Heavenly Venerables of past generations.

However, everyone knows that this is tantamount to a slow death.

It is likely that within a few thousand years, the human cultivators will completely die out. At that time, without the injection of fresh blood, the destruction of the Tianfu Continent will only be a matter of time.

Fortunately, at the most critical moment, the human race produced Su Qingyue, a spirit with divine eyes.

Originally, the higher-ups of Tianfu regarded her as the future of revitalizing the human race, and even the Heavenly Venerable doted on her.

However, no one expected that the World Tree, which was on the verge of extinction, would suddenly revive.

"A withered tree comes back to life, and the cycle of heaven and earth repeats itself."

"The World Tree shares the same origin as the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Its revival is preordained. The Great Dao is not so easily extinguished."

Zhu Tianzun said softly.

"Did the Celestial Venerable sense something when he suddenly brought this up?"

The old woman, with her keen senses, noticed something amiss, frowned slightly, and asked.

Zhu Tianzun nodded, lightly tapping the jade slip with his fingertip. The scene changed, showing the spatial fluctuations around the Tianfu Continent.

"As you have probably all sensed, the Dark Prison Realm has become increasingly unstable recently, and the spatial barrier at the edge of the Tianfu Continent has been subjected to more and more attacks."

Zhu Tianzun's expression was indifferent, and the glow on his body shone slightly, exuding a strong sense of majesty.

“Those guys in the Dark Prison Realm won’t stand idly by and watch the Tree of Life revive.”

A middle-aged man carrying a long sword said in a deep voice, "That being who devours the Great Dao will not sit idly by and watch a thousand years of hard work be destroyed in an instant."

Those present wore solemn expressions, realizing that the awakening of the World Tree meant that the Great Dao would repair itself.

At that time, the absorbed Great Dao rules will gradually merge into the Great Dao.

For a certain being in the Dark Prison Realm, this was absolutely unacceptable.
