As the savior, I only want to play single-player games.

The long lifespan brought the Wood God only endless emptiness.

He was forced to go into a deep sleep and shut down his mind, but as a powerful being of this level, it is difficult to sever his connection with the world unless he transcends it, so he still retains some of his perception of the outside world.

The Wood God is as if he were on a giant clock, following the constant rotation of the hands, only able to feel the rapid passage of time.

This is a torment.

Tendou Kagura remained silent.

He was still young, and although he had experienced similar things, he had forged a resilient will in the dark world, where the environment was similar to this one. But he still couldn't empathize with the Wood God, nor could he understand the Wood God's state of mind.

Because he still has the real world.

"I originally intended to sleep forever..." the Wood God said, revealing his original plan. His will willingly succumbed, using endless years to erase himself, merging into the world, and becoming one of the rules without thought.

In other words, it is in harmony with the Tao.

According to speculation, doing so might offer the hope of creating a new world, interweaving rules, and evolving new worlds, although such a world would not be very large, perhaps only the size of a galaxy universe, or perhaps nothing would happen at all.

Doing this will definitely raise the world's defense level, so that even if a new civilization emerges, it won't be detected immediately.

This outcome is better than him facing this monotonous world alone.

"Tired?" Kagura Tendo repeated.

Even those who are close to God, do they ever get bored?

The Wood God said, "Even Sequence 4 doesn't completely abandon humanity."

For the world, there are only two kinds of life forms: those above Sequence 4 and those below Sequence 3.

Without taking that final step, one cannot transcend the world; naturally, one still possesses humanity.

Because pure divinity cannot be born from within the world.

Treating all things as straw dogs and regarding all living beings as fish and meat—this is the true essence of divinity.

Sequence 4 cannot achieve this; as long as there are attachments and the world cannot be severed, it cannot become the source of the mysterious rules.

Upon hearing what the Wood God said, Tendou Kagura suddenly froze.

What about the previous savior?

He has become a being above Sequence 3. Does he still have humanity?

He saved the world of the Wood God, leaving behind his own power, which led him here. Perhaps it was not intentional, but a coincidence.

The opportunity that the Wood God spoke of might be an opportunity related to one's state of mind.

Although they were not at the same time, had never met, and were not on the same level, they found a certain resonance.

He did not choose to descend into another world, nor did he have coordinates in another world, but that does not mean the system did not exist. What he experienced was vastly different from what the system experienced.

The system likely contains hidden information, recording the world coordinates of past saviors, including those mysterious objects, which also originate from hidden spaces.

What is hard to imagine is that even the savior who was capable of directly defeating the Outer Gods would fall into the same predicament as him.

What will you do from now on?

"Leave this world," the Wood God replied.

"Where?"

"Beyond the world." The Wood God gazed at the sky, speaking of this matter in an extremely calm manner.

Kagura's eyes turned strange.

"And what about the world?"

The Wood God said to Kagura, "This world came from the Savior, so it should be returned to the Savior."

He felt that Tendo Kagura was very suitable; in fact, no one was more suitable than him.

"I don't need this world." Kagura Tendo shook her head.

In a sense, the dark world is also his world, where he can do whatever he wants, and for Sequence 4, the complete world is more valuable than this small world.

But he rarely returned to the dark world, and even if he thought of it, he wouldn't go back specifically.

"However, Wood God, you need to think this through. Leaving the world and being tainted by the aura of chaos is equivalent to being completely lost. Even if you have coordinates, it won't work; you'll never be able to come back."

Even the Heavenly Dao Kagura relies on the system to descend, which is equivalent to having its own dedicated path, so this issue can be ignored.

The world is hidden in chaos, and although chaos encompasses the world, the world cannot be compatible with chaos.

Chaos is extremely dangerous. Even without encountering Outer Gods or their followers, survival alone is a major problem. Even Sequence 7 beings cannot stay there for long, while Sequence 6 beings have only just begun to qualify for survival.

The Wood God said, "It's time to end this lonely journey. My life as a citizen of the world should also come to an end."

His only concern was this world.

Now that they've met the savior, it's perfectly normal to make this decision.

Tiandao Shenle couldn't dissuade him; the Wood God's mind was made up.

"You can do whatever you want here. This world is a responsibility to me, but not to you. You can use it, destroy it, ignore it, or find a future direction for this world," the Wood God said, his eyes devoid of emotion, as if he were talking about something trivial.

"Once the journey of life begins, it can never be stopped," the Wood God said, revealing the true meaning of the Wood of Life's path.

“In the void of chaos, even death is not the end; one must eventually begin the next life…” he murmured. These were mystical words, their meaning obscure and difficult to grasp.

It was as if he had put down all his burdens and was free from all the pressure.

The Wood God raised his scepter and made a gentle stroke, the movement filled with mysterious patterns, conforming to the power of the rules.

It was like unzipping a tent, revealing a massive rift large enough to split the world in two, without damaging any plants or affecting any life.

Beyond the boundary, chaos surged, like a vast fog.

The Wood God rose up without any astonishing phenomena, lightning, or thunder. He simply ascended, but his aura grew stronger and stronger, as if a god had descended upon the world. The entire world was more stable than ever before, and he suppressed all the rules.

Finally, the Wood God reached the boundary of the small world, and then disappeared into the chaos without looking back.

Tendou Kagura kept her eyes fixed on that place.

His eyes pierced through the chaos, and he seemed to see the Wood God's body disappear into the chaos and turn to dust.

All the powder fell onto the scepter.

Its entire body radiated green light, and its original shape, which resembled tangled old roots, sprouted tender shoots, rejuvenating itself. Then, it transformed into a beam of green light, quickly disappearing into the chaos.

Tiandao Shenle gazed intently, his dark eyes operating at their maximum, his expression solemn.

"Wood God...the Tree of Life...divinity...wood god...the Tree God of Life..."

A new Outer God was born before him.

……

……

I didn't post an extra update today, it's too late, I'll definitely make it up to you later.

May all gods swiftly come to my aid; if anyone disobeys, I will subdue Fengdu: Chapter 122: The Sorrow of Fate

The previous savior destroyed the original Tree of Life, and the new Tree of Life was born because of this new savior.

It's like a cycle, full of absurdity and irony, extremely biting.

During this long period, the Wood God had already found the path to Sequence 3, and was only one step away from it—it only needed to leave this world and break free from the constraints of the world's rules to become the source of the path of the Tree of Life, replacing the original Tree of Life.

During her conversation with the Wood God, Tendou Kagura discovered some problems.

The Wood God remained completely devoid of emotion. Compared to a real life form, he was more like a piece of wood or a stone, tending towards a state of great annihilation, much like the Buddhist concept of the emptiness of the four elements.

The Wood God did not initially intend to become an Outer God; instead, he planned to bury himself within this world until he descended upon it.

Will the Wood God, like other outer gods, covet the world in the future?

It's possible.

After true transcendence comes complete divinity. Once the last attachments and obsessions are severed, there is no longer any humanity left.

Can the moral ethics, propriety, and sense of shame of the mortal world still restrain the Outer Gods of Sequence 3?

The more powerful a life form is, the more indifferent it is to everything that mortals value.

Each Sequence 3 represents a mysterious rule. They are neither material beings nor energy beings; they are aggregates of rules, and under these rules, they are omnipotent.

At this stage, the Outer God is not without self; rather, it is precisely because its self is powerful enough that it sublimates to the level of divinity and completely devours humanity.

Just like the rising and setting of the sun and moon, and the ebb and flow of the tide.

What about love, what about hatred, what about noble character and despicable means, what about morality and honor?

They don't care about any of the Outer Gods.

When will the ocean stop surging after swallowing human lives?

When did the mountains automatically move away because they blocked the way for humans?

The cruelest thing about the world is that reality is not changed by human will.

Because this is the law of nature.

As for the Outer Gods' rules, just as the universe will eventually come to an end, the Outer Gods will also reach the end of their own path.

Regardless of success or failure.

Because for both the world and the Outer Gods, their essence lies in motion.

"Once the journey of life begins, it can never be stopped..." Kagura Tendo murmured to herself, uttering these words that were full of a sense of destiny.

He finally understood the Wood God's thoughts.

For the Wood God, the lives of the people of the world had come to an end, and he chose to become a new Outer God, beginning his life as an Outer God.

An indescribable feeling permeated Tendo Kagura's heart.

Like a stream flowing quietly under the setting sun, winding and turning, its surface shimmering with an orange-red light, rippling gently, giving people a faint sadness that lingers.

Outer gods do not come from nothing.

Even those Outer Gods of the Great Lord level may have their own origins and backgrounds.

During her brief encounter with the prophet, Tendou Kagura learned that the three paths—Shadow, Spirit Master, and Warrior—were mysterious paths unearthed from the chaos, a system that had existed for a long time.
