I reign supreme in the Western fantasy world for eternity.

The sound was layered upon layered, like countless voices resounding simultaneously, echoing, colliding, and amplifying in the void.

Evan, who had been imprisoned by the earth elemental authority, easily broke free of his restraints and stepped out.

His limbs had turned into wooden branches, four orbs of light pulsating slowly in his chest, and a chilling, fake smile lingered on his lips.

He looked down at Ji Tian's gradually cooling corpse, a greedy glint in his eyes:

"What a perfect body... even more perfect than the guy I met back then!"

Lilith's purple eyes narrowed sharply, and she instinctively stood up to protect Ji Tian, ​​questioning him:

"What did you say?!"

Those empty eyes glanced at her, then scoffed.

"Where do you think your power came from? What do you think you're doing? Breaking my limits? No, no, no, you're just following the script I designed, step by step, towards the end!"

"But aren't you all incredibly stupid? It took you hundreds of regressions to realize suicide was the only option! I could have learned your language by now!"

The soul of the only being that could possibly pose a threat to Him is still dissipating and will be able to possess Him later.

In these spare moments, He doesn't mind revealing the truth to these creatures who have outwitted and battled with Him:

He reached out and gently swept his hand across the void, causing the entire space to ripple like the surface of a disturbed lake.

The demons that Ji Tian had once destroyed, the powers that Ji Tian had obtained, and the scenes of those meticulously designed "trials" all turned into streams of light and converged into His palm.

"I am the will of the World Tree. Those so-called first-generation fairies who wield true power are merely my 'avatars,' each possessing different attributes, traveling the world, and gathering power..."

"Unfortunately, my main body was killed by some unreasonable bastard back then, and my clones were taken away from this world and lost contact."

"Fortunately, my will is still preserved in the blood I left behind. Through it, I can attract more fairies to sacrifice themselves in order to restore a small part of my power."

He looked at the corpse Lilith was protecting behind him and let out a heartfelt exclamation:

"You 'outsiders' have given me quite a few surprises. That guy named Evan may be weak, but he's crazy enough that he actually let me take control of his body."

"The person behind you is a miracle! He has achieved the level of a perfect vessel with only flesh and blood! Even with my current strength, I cannot kill him. Thanks to your help, I will allow you to live."

That last promise was a complete lie. If it weren't for the fact that they were going to be smuggled into other worlds through these guys, the World Tree would have killed them long ago.

However, on the other hand, He quite enjoyed seeing their despair.

After saying those words, they discovered that the soul in Ji Tian's corpse had completely dissipated.

Then his figure began to blur, instantly transforming into a dark shadow that peeled away from Evan's body, lunging straight at Ji Tian's corpse like an invisible venomous snake.

Lilith tried to rush forward to stop her, but her body was pinned to the spot by an invisible force, her legs feeling as if they were frozen.

"Stop! Don't touch my Ji Tian!"

Mia and Xiaohua were also trapped in place, unable to move.

Just as the World Tree's will made contact with Ji Tian's corpse and was about to possess it, the entire internal space of the tree suddenly trembled.

thump.

thump.

thump.

It felt like my heart was pounding.

But it wasn't the work of the World Tree.

"What?!"

He felt an extremely powerful force surging out from Ji Tian's body, like a flood bursting its banks and flowing upstream along his meridians, forcing him back inch by inch as he was about to directly seize Ji Tian's body.

The "corpse" suddenly opened its eyes and sat up.

Those eyes were clear and bright, full of life and vitality; they didn't look like they had ever been dead.

His right hand suddenly rose, his five fingers gripping the emerald green phantom that was trying to escape like iron clamps.

"I suspected something was fishy about the time travel a long time ago. I've finally caught you, my inner demon. You've been quite a handful."

The World Tree's will didn't understand what it meant for Ji Tian to see it as a demon. It tried to activate the rewind again, but unexpectedly failed. In its struggle, it let out an incredulous roar:

"Impossible! Your heart was pierced, and your soul vanished. How could you still be alive?!"

Ji Tian casually controlled the illusory figure, and with his other hand began to pull out the holy sword that was stuck in his chest. The sword wound in his chest healed at a speed visible to the naked eye after the sword was pulled out.

"Heart? You, who can be riddled with bullets and still resurrect through shadows, have the nerve to talk about that? Why don't you guess why I had to rewind so many times before Lilith finally killed me?"

Then he grabbed the other person's soul and brought it right in front of him, coldly questioning:

"I'm waiting for my spiritual energy to return to its proper place, what are you waiting for?!"

The phantom of the World Tree's will struggled violently, its emerald light flickering, and the wooden branches that formed its outline were breaking and crumbling one by one.

"As for faking death, that was just because I was worried you might have other clones with the ability to rewind, so I pretended to be dead to lure you out. Now you can't escape."

At first, Ji Tian wasn't sure whether the World Tree was good or bad. It wasn't until he heard the words of the royal family member who was being controlled and looked just like Ian that he realized the World Tree was definitely at odds with him, this "chaotic power".

These locals only thought of the "chaotic power" as an extraterrestrial demon, but only Ji Tian, ​​who was well-versed in online novels, knew that the so-called "chaotic power" referred to his "chaotic body" which had affinity with all attributes.

In other words, the World Tree is Ji Tian's enemy.

Therefore, Ji Tian remained vigilant at all times, and when he saw that the remaining power was in Evan's hands, and that Evan happened to be a dung monster, every time he tried to use a powerful tool, it would trigger a backtracking.

Therefore, Ji Tian deduced that the World Tree did not have the ability to kill him directly, and most likely hoped to use Lilith to make him willingly die.

As for the ability to rewind, Ji Tian was happy for the other party to use it. After all, the ability to rewind cannot be applied to another world, and it would take time for his spiritual power to spontaneously break through the barrier of the Flower Sea Mountain Range and return to his side. Delaying time would undoubtedly be advantageous for Ji Tian.

The Holy Sword and the Book of Industry are powerful, but they are ultimately external things to him. His own power is the foundation, and only through micro-management can he interrupt the opponent's rewind the moment they make contact with him.

Thinking of this, even Ji Tian couldn't help but sigh:

"Be proud! You're very strong. If you were even stronger, you might have won."

Of course, even if Ji Tian and Lilith hadn't gained any power, without the royal family member's notification, Ji Tian might not have lost.

The likely process is as follows: Ji Tian encounters the dung monster with Lilith, takes out the Holy Sword, and is rewound just before [Liberating the Holy Sword], repeating this cycle until Ji Tian regains his spiritual power.

Upon hearing this, the World Tree's will emitted a sharp, uniquely characteristic crackling sound:

"I am #### (birdsong and fragrant flowers)!"

Before he could finish speaking, Ji Tian had already laughed loudly and instantly refined the illusory image!

"With your inner demon aiding me, today is the perfect day to transcend tribulation and transform into a deity!"

Lightning struck immediately.

A bolt of silver-white lightning pierced through the entire space inside the World Tree, piercing from the dome to the ground and splitting open a huge rift, revealing the crimson sky outside the rift.

Ji Tian then looked at Lilith.

Her face was still streaked with tears, his image was reflected in her purple eyes, and her lips moved as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

He walked up to Lilith and gently patted her head to comfort her:

"As you can see, I'm back. You can think about what reward you want slowly, and tell me after I've overcome my tribulation."

After saying that, he waved to the golden dragon again:

"Little Flower, take them away from the World Tree and reunite them with Elena and the others."

Mia and Xiaohua were equally dumbfounded until they heard the deep rumble in the sky and came back to their senses. Mia hurriedly pulled away Lilith, who was wailing and hugging Ji Tian, ​​and commanded the golden dragon to fly out of the rift.

Inside the World Tree, thunderclouds surged.

Ji Tian, ​​who had just changed his clothes, stood under the thunder, his white robes fluttering, his back straight as a sword.

"After waiting for so long, this day has finally come."

He raised his head, opened his arms, and drove the lightning that shattered the world to condense, expand, and sublimate in the dome.

Inside the body, the will of the World Tree was still roaring madly, struggling desperately to retaliate.

"You cannot devour me! I am the will of the world, I am—"

"Shut up," Ji Tian said casually. "You're the worst inner demon I've ever seen. You have absolutely no professionalism. Speaking of which, wouldn't using you to prove your Nascent Soul status make your foundation unstable?"
