Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 862: Chaos Energy Infuses the Ancestral Tree

Tang San approached the Ancestral Tree, and the blue light radiating from him grew more intense. He could clearly feel the immense life energy coming from the Ancestral Tree, energy that was directly connected to the very core of the Falan Planet.

He slowly closed his eyes, his heart filled with gratitude. If not for the fortuitous events that had brought him here, he might never have known that the life core of the entire Falan Planet resided in this place.

Without a doubt, the Ancestral Tree was born as the life core of this plane, and back when it still had its divine consciousness and was at full power, it had unquestionably reached the peak of the twelfth order. Although it lacked a divine seat and was also unable to push the entire plane to ascend, its life energy alone was so powerful that it could rival existences at the level of a God King.

Falan Planet itself had an extraordinarily high level of life and a tremendous amount of energy, which was why it could sustain so many beings at the level of Second Class and even First Class Gods. The life core of such a plane, naturally, had to be unimaginably powerful. Life force was the fundamental power that supported a plane's continuous evolution and the driving force behind the advancement of all species. If such immense life energy were completely stripped away, the entire Falan Planet would regress, and it might even face the risk of destruction.

Tang San raised his hand and slowly pressed his palm against the trunk of the Ancestral Tree.

Not far away, the Grand Elder couldn't help but take a few steps forward, worried that Tang San might be about to initiate the process of receiving the Ancestral Tree's inheritance.

But in the next moment, shock spread across the Grand Elder's face, as an unprecedented surge of life energy erupted from the Ancestral Tree. It was so overwhelming that the words froze on his lips; not only had he never seen anything like it, he had never even imagined such a tremendous life energy.

The massive trunk of the Ancestral Tree radiated a soft green glow, and tiny specks of green light sparkled on its bark. Its already enormous canopy seemed to grow a little, swaying gracefully in the non-existent wind.

Yes, the Ancestral Tree, which had been dormant for who knew how many years, began to grow again the moment Tang San placed his hand on it. The life energy within it surged upwards dramatically.

For the elders of the Blue Gold Tree clan, this was utterly unbelievable. All the elders stood dumbfounded, watching this scene unfold, as they too felt the overwhelming influx of life force, just like the Grand Elder. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Gradually, even Jin Miaosen and all the other elders present began to shimmer with tiny specks of green light. The stronger the elder, the more of these lights appeared. This was a sign that the life energy within their bodies had become so dense that it was beginning to overflow.

Although they didn't know what Tang San was doing at that moment, it was clear that instead of taking the Ancestral Tree's inheritance and draining its life energy, he was doing the exact opposite: He was infusing it with his own energy. And due to this infusion of energy, the Ancestral Tree's life energy was increasing exponentially.

At this moment, Tang San had entered a profound and mysterious state.

The Ancestral Tree, as the life core of the entire Falan Planet, had an immeasurable amount of life energy, far beyond what had been previously radiating from it. After all, every single being in this plane, from blades of grass and microscopic shrimp to Demon and Nymph Emperors, drew their life energy—and their very existence—from this life core. Its vast life energy spread across every corner of the planet; it would not be concentrated in any single place. However, the Ancestral Tree's husk served as the key to unlocking this immense life energy. And now, Tang San had grasped that key.

Immersed in his perception of life energy, Tang San felt his divine consciousness enter a vast green ocean. In this oasis of life, his thoughts extended outward, carried by the life energy and spreading farther and farther. Wherever life energy reached, his spirit followed.

In that instant, Tang San could see what basically amounted to a map—a map of all the places in this plane where life energy was most abundant.

Obviously, the place with the densest life energy was the Daemon Continent. For many years, the Daemon Continent had benefited from the fortune bestowed by the Celestial Fox clan, which attracted the core resources of the entire plane.

Next was the Endless Blue Sea; though its various regions had varying concentrations of life energy, the sea overall was a massive reservoir.

Tang San could vaguely sense that in the Magma Red Sea, where the Firedawn clan resided, the life energy was much richer than in other areas. Meanwhile, in more distant regions, there were places where life energy was extremely scarce, to the point of lacking altogether. Without needing to probe further, Tang San could tell that these places were likely the Nether Blue Sea, the Tainted Yellow Sea, and similar places. Only such places would have no life energy.

But even farther away, there seemed to be an area within the Endless Blue Sea where life energy was as dense, if not denser, than that of the Daemon Continent. Was that the Verdant Green Sea? Though it was far, far away, Tang San made a mental note—he definitely had to visit this place in the future.

The Ancestral Tree seemed to spread its roots throughout the entire planet, covering every corner. This wondrous sensation allowed Tang San's divine consciousness to perceive the places where life energy was the most concentrated. And as he stimulated the tree's vitality, everything became clearer. It was as if the Ancestral Tree's lifeless shell had awakened, beginning to breathe and causing the flow of life energy to become even more vigorous.

The reason Tang San could trigger such a transformation in the Ancestral Tree was not the Blue Gold Tree bloodline he had, but rather the trace of the chaos energy he had injected from his Chaos Blue Silver Emperor into the Ancestral Tree.

Chaos energy was the highest level of energy, and it appeared from the very source of the universe when a plane was born. It was the source of all existence. When this trace of chaos energy, minute though it was, merged with the Ancestral Tree, the tree conveyed a feeling of deep affection to Tang San, as if a child were seeing its parent for the first time. How could it not be excited?

Tang San could also feel that after his trace of chaos energy made contact with the Ancestral Tree, it was bathed in the life essence of the entire plane, becoming much brighter and subtly growing stronger.

When the universe itself was born, chaos energy gave birth to life. On a smaller scale, this also applied to each plane in particular. All life energy, regardless of its level, was rooted in the chaos energy that stood at the core of this plane. As this life energy of the highest level began to feed back to its source, the strand of chaos energy was slowly enriched—and, in turn, nourished Tang San's Chaos Blue Silver Emperor bloodline. At the same time, the presence of the chaos energy reinvigorated the Ancestral Tree, bringing it back to life in a sense.

The reason Tang San had so much confidence in his statements was precisely this chaos energy. As a former God King, his understanding of the relationship between planar life force and chaos energy could hardly be any more profound. Based on this knowledge, he had already predicted that when he infused the Ancestral Tree's husk with chaos energy, such changes would occur.

Gradually, all the Blue Gold Trees in the city started to notice that the Ancestral Tree was changing. The intense life energy it radiated, which spread outward as green motes of light, no longer covered just the inner city, but it also drifted toward the outer city. The tree's enormous trunk and branches turned crystalline blue, shimmering with transparent brilliance.
