Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

The onlookers stared in disbelief at Lan Fuzi, and the entire scene fell silent. The Sea Goddesses, too, gaped, staring at Lan Fuzi in astonishment, as did the male students.

By the Sea God Lake, Ji Lin and Wang Dong'er were grinning from ear to ear. The only two people present who knew Lan Fuzi's true identity were on a completely different wavelength from the others. While the others were shocked by Lan Fuzi's courage, the two of them were simply enjoying the show.

The people of Douluo Continent are not progressive in their thinking. They even reject advanced technologies like soul tools, let alone unconventional male-male and female-female relationships.

Xue Qianren's lips twitched, feeling quite helpless. Although she knew she was beautiful, she never expected Lan Fuzi to fall in love with her at first sight. No wonder he followed her into Shrek Academy and participated in this Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event.

Indeed, Xue Qianren had long suspected that Lan Fuzi had come for her. After all, Lan Fuzi had entered Shrek Academy's inner court after her, also with a recommendation letter from another school. Why did she come at the exact time she arrived and after her?

Therefore, Xue Qianren was always wary of Lan Fuzi, even though Lan Fuzi had helped her. When she was in the academy, she intentionally avoided Lan Fuzi, not wanting to get too involved with her. She thought about many things, such as Lan Fuzi discovering that she did not belong to this time and space, since she had exposed many problems at the beginning and asked some questions that she should not have asked.

She didn't know that Lan Fuzi didn't know much about Douluo Continent either, since she had only just returned from the deep sea with her mother. So, Lan Fuzi didn't think too much about it.

Now, because of Lan Fuzi's straightforwardness, Xue Qianren has lowered her guard against Lan Fuzi. It turns out she fell in love with her at first sight! Well, it's alright then. In her opinion, this is normal. After all, she is so outstanding that it is only natural for her to be liked.

On the large boat on the lake, Xuanzi smiled slightly and said, "These young people nowadays! They're becoming more and more incomprehensible to us old folks. I'm getting old, really old."

With Lan Fuzi leading the way, the other male students also went all out, each one speaking eloquently, praising themselves to the skies, or imitating Lan Fuzi, directly confessing their feelings to a certain sea goddess fairy, leaving Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo looking at each other in bewilderment.

The scene was quite joyful, which broadened the horizons of the junior students from the School of Foreign Languages ​​and left the students from the School of Inner Languages ​​who had participated in the Poseidon's Fate Blind Date Event in the throes of disbelief.

Just then, Ji Lin's body trembled, and he said to Ma Xiaotao, Wang Qiu'er and the others, "I have something to do. You wait here for me. I'll be back soon."

After speaking, Ji Lin didn't give Wang Qiu'er and the other girls time to ask questions. His body turned into a blur and headed towards a grove of trees by the Sea God Lake.

Because he was too fast, and most people's attention was focused on the Sea God's Blind Date Event, no one noticed Ji Lin's departure.

Wang Qiu'er, Wang Dong'er, and the others exchanged glances, but since Ji Lin hadn't said anything or invited them, they didn't feel comfortable following him. In any case, Ji Lin was unlikely to be in danger within Shrek Academy, so they simply relaxed and continued watching the spectacle.

Ji Lin arrived at the grove, released his spiritual power, and after finding no one following him, opened the gate to the undead demiplane and stepped inside.

In the undead demiplane, Ji Lin stretched out his right hand, and a phantom tree-shaped sapling appeared in his hand.

This tree-shaped sapling seemed both real and illusory, as if it did not belong to this dimension, but rather to a great existence in a higher dimension. Yet, it truly appeared in Ji Lin's hands, and Ji Lin could touch it.

Now, Ji Lin finally knows the truth about his time travel and the true nature of his cheat system: the tree-shaped sapling in his hand. It has a name that Ji Lin is very familiar with: the Imaginary Tree, also known as the Tree of Existence, or the World Tree.

Of course, the Imaginary Tree in his hand was not the Imaginary Tree he remembered, but a seedling newly born in endless chaos.

When the Imaginary Tree sapling was born, it unexpectedly overlapped with Ji Lin's dimension. The newly born Imaginary Tree sapling had no intelligence, only instinct. In the instant it overlapped with Ji Lin, it merged with Ji Lin. The newly born Imaginary Tree was not powerful. The endless chaos was too dangerous. It instinctively wanted to survive and grow. So, in the instant it overlapped with Ji Lin's dimension, it chose Ji Lin as its agent. However, in doing so, it could no longer develop intelligence, because the agent was equivalent to its intelligence.

Survival, growth, and the creation of the world are the missions of the Imaginary Tree. The birth of intellect is not its top priority. Therefore, upon its birth, it directly chose the first life it encountered after its birth, namely Ji Lin.

Using Ji Lin's memories as an anchor, it brought Ji Lin to the Douluo Universe. The so-called "golden finger" was merely a part of the power of the Imaginary Tree, formed by the Imaginary Tree according to Ji Lin's wishes.

However, the Tree of Imaginary Numbers is only a newborn tree, and its power is limited. Although it can create things out of nothing and create things from Ji Lin's memories, such as the Heavenly Fire Judgment and the Crimson Kite, it also needs to grow, absorb the chaotic energy of the void, grow and survive, until it can create worlds.

This is also why Ji Lin's wishes come true. His cheat ability is simply that the Tree of Imaginary Numbers was created according to his desires, so whatever he wants to grow each year can be grown, but he has never known it.

His cheat system disappeared because the Imaginary Tree was at a critical moment. It needed a lot of energy to grow and pass through its infancy. Ji Lin's treasure chest system contained a portion of the Imaginary Tree's power and energy, so it was taken back by the Imaginary Tree.

Now, the Imaginary Tree has passed its infancy and successfully connected with the parallel world of the Douluo Universe. Xue Qianren arrived in this universe by accident at the moment the Imaginary Tree connected with that parallel world due to spacetime fluctuations.

Ji Lin looked at the Imaginary Tree in his hand with a complicated expression. This tree could give birth to countless worlds and was the birthplace of all truths and laws.

Although he is called an agent, he is actually bound to the soul of the Imaginary Tree. Their fates are intertwined; if he dies, the Imaginary Tree will also collapse, because he is now essentially the personification of the Imaginary Tree—he *is* the Imaginary Tree.

However! Ji Lin's expression was strange. According to the information from the Imaginary Tree, the Imaginary Tree is located in a higher dimension, and his essence is also located in a higher dimension. His current body can be said to have descended from heaven to become human. Even if his soul is scattered, the Imaginary Tree can pull him back from the river of time.

The branches of the Imaginary Tree touch the past and future, and endless parallel universes. As long as it's not an attack that can destroy the multiverse in an instant, the Imaginary Tree cannot be destroyed. Of course, this is an ability it only gained after it passed its infancy. Moreover, the Imaginary Tree in Ji Lin's hands only connects the past and future of this Douluo Universe, as well as the parallel universe where Xue Qianren is. It hasn't grown to that level yet. But even so, Ji Lin has no worries. He is truly immortal, unless a powerful being suddenly appears who can shatter the Douluo Universe.

Ji Lin has now confirmed Xue Qianren's identity; she is Qianrenxue from a parallel world, the Qianrenxue who has not yet become the Angel God.

I really don't know if she was lucky or unlucky. She just happened to be located at the anchor point connecting the Imaginary Tree to that parallel world, and she fell into this Douluo Universe in a daze, and even survived.

But it's a parallel world!

Ji Lin stroked his chin. He no longer had any worries. Even though the Imaginary Tree had just passed its infancy, it was not something that the gods of the Douluo God Realm could mess with. Although he could not use the power of the Imaginary Tree to wipe them out, he had plenty of ways to deal with them.

The Imaginary Tree is the birthplace of all worlds and laws. Its main ability is to nurture worlds and create laws. To use the Imaginary Tree in battle would be a complete waste of its resources.

For example, this undead demiplane, as long as Ji Lin hangs it on the Imaginary Number Tree, the Imaginary Number Tree can turn this undead demiplane into a complete plane that is no less powerful than Douluo Continent.

At that time, the Imaginary Tree, having absorbed the rules of the Douluo Universe, will also be able to create godhoods and completely replace the God Realm to bear godhoods.

Based on the undead demiplane created by Electrolux, Ji Lin was able to nurture a Death God position using the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, and at least a first-level god position.

Not to mention the authority that the Imaginary Tree originally possessed; if it were transformed into a godhood unique to the Douluo Universe, it would at least be a god-king level godhood.

Moreover, these divine positions will grow along with the Imaginary Tree. The more worlds the Imaginary Tree creates and the more parallel worlds it connects to, the higher the divine positions bound to the Imaginary Tree will rise.

Ji Lin no longer needs to worry about his and Wang Qiu'er's godhood. Soul beasts cannot become gods; this is the Dragon God's rule, not Ji Lin's. The rules of the Douluo Universe don't apply to the Tree of Imaginary Numbers. (End of Chapter)
