“Divine Flowers are truly hard to find…” With a faint smile tugging at his lips, a gleam of anticipation shimmered deep within Yu Zi Yu’s eyes.

 

Having reached his current level, there were few things left in this world that could stir his interest. Only a Marvelous Flower of Heaven and Earth like Aurora, or perhaps a Heaven and Earth Divine Tree like the Divine Enlightenment Tree could move his heart.

 

Still, this wasn’t a poor outcome.

 

Quite the contrary, he had found a new goal.

 

And this goal was the peerless treasure of the universe, a Divine Flower. A treasure so rare, so sacred, that even the top powers like the Dragon and Phoenix Clans, or the Buddhist Sect, would struggle to present one.

 

Of course, more than anything, this was all for Aurora! To restore her to her prime!

 

*Hoo…* Taking a long, deep breath, Yu Zi Yu reined in the thoughts swirling in his mind.

 

“For now, there’s no urgent need to gather Spirit Herbs or Flowers. I can finally afford a moment… to stabilize my realm,” murmuring softly to himself, Yu Zi Yu gently caressed the armrest of his throne.

 

At this point, if one were watching carefully, they might notice something strange: His figure was growing fainter and fainter, while ripples in space spread about him, distorting the very space around him.

 

Spacetime, drawing this Supreme Principle, he was pulling himself into another dimension entirely.

 

And then…

 

*Boooom…Boooom…* With a roar that shook existence, thick, sinuous branches surged forth as if they were propping up the space itself. From beneath, roots coiled, covered in scales like bark, continuously slithered forth.

 

Only this time… those roots were no longer anchored in the Void, they were rooted in Spacetime itself.

 

Having undergone baptism in the Supreme Sea of Chaos, Yu Zi Yu’s form now bore the essence of Spacetime.

 

Ever since then, his roots drew nourishment not from soil or Void Space, but directly from the Spacetime continuum.

 

Although it was called Spacetime, in truth, it was the convergence of two distinct essences: Time and Space.

 

True Spacetime did not naturally exist in the starry skies, only Time and Space did.

 

So, Spacetime could only come into existence from the will and guidance of Yu Zi Yu, through the fusion of Time and Space.

 

Only by his hands could the power of true Spacetime be drawn forth.

 

…

 

The branches spread ever wider, stretching across the horizon.

 

They descended like Divine Chains from the Heavens, and with each gentle sway, they stirred ripples in space.

 

The trunk itself was so huge that it resembled a coiled True Dragon. And around it hovered nine radiant stars, each one a different hue.

 

However, none of this was the true marvel.

 

What was truly captivating was the illusory image manifesting behind Yu Zi Yu’s True Body, a phantom realm that resembled an ancient painting drawn across the Heavens.

 

Within that painted world, myriad beasts stampeded across the plains and mountains, while ancient altars dotted the landscape.

 

This was the Tenth Realm, the Great World Yu Zi Yu himself had become after achieving the Seventh Order in physical cultivation.

 

Through the foundation of this world, his physical strength had climbed steadily, pushing his physical strength on par with Level-3 Hegemons.

 

And with the Supreme Principle of Spacetime added to the mix, his combat strength could be estimated to be even higher.

 

“Level-4 Hegemon?? Or perhaps… even Level-5?” A soft chuckle escaped his lips as a glimmer of anticipation lit his eyes.

 

To this day, even he wasn’t sure how powerful he truly was.

 

However, ever since his clash with the Divine Forge Hammer, he could feel that his strength, compared to the time when he had achieved Seventh Order, had undergone a transformation bordering on the qualitative.

 

Back then, he would have hesitated before confronting such a fearsome Artifact.

 

However, now, even as he beheld the world-shaking strikes of the Divine Forging Hammer, his gaze remained calm and serene.

 

Because now, he could effortlessly step into another Spacetime Dimension, sidestepping the vast majority of attacks.

 

The Principle of Spacetime wasn’t included among the Supreme Principles for nothing.

 

And even this was only the beginning.

 

It had really been a short while since Yu Zi Yu had shouldered the Principle of Spacetime.

 

Given time, his mastery over Spacetime might ascend by several times—or even dozens of times.

 

“And now… what I must do…is awaken the true power of the Spacetime Principle,” a low murmur escaped Yu Zi Yu’s lips as his gaze sharpened, settling upon something only he could see his own status screen.

 

Race: Spacetime Divine Tree (Hidden in space, buried in time, the most enigmatic of trees, roaming on the edge of Spacetime.)   Rank: Tier-7, Seventh Order Physique   Innate Talent:   The Tenth Realm — After the physical cultivation had reached advance-level, the various Innate Talents had fused into a singular boundless world, the Tenth Realm, a boundless world that could suppress anything and everything.   Five Divine Trees — Immortal Divine Tree, Divine Lightning Tree, Timeless Divine Tree, Divine Tree of Myriad Forms, Kabbalah Tree of Life… extraordinary Divine Trees, each with own variation and innate gifts.   Innate Principle:   Spacetime Principle — Among countless Principles, Time is sovereign, Space is revered. When the two merge, they form the Spacetime, a Supreme Principles that is deeper and profounder than anything, beyond the reaches of mortals.   …

 

After going through it, Yu Zi Yu’s eyes couldn’t help but flicker with a dazzling glow.

 

And this was his current status screen.

 

However, this was merely the primary screen

 

Each of his Divine Tree Forms, be it the Immortal Tree, the Divine Lightning Tree, and others, possessed unique screens of their own.

 

As a matter of fact, even his Angel King Form, too, had its own dedicated panel.

 

Thousands of abilities, hundreds of Divine Abilities, it would more than apt to describe Yu Zi Yu.

 

However, for now, the most important thing Yu Zi Yu needed to develop was still his main body, the Tree of Spacetime.

 

“If the Principle of Spacetime only lets me create a new Spacetime Dimension, then isn’t that just… a little too underwhelming?” A faint smile presented on his lips.

 

And with that thought, Yu Zi Yu immediately chose to use Evolution Points to deduce.

 

After his last secluded cultivation, he still had a vast reserve of Evolution Points. More than enough to conduct a deduction.

 

In fact, from his recent hunts, his harvest had been quite abundant.

 

Thus, Evolution Points weren’t something he lacked.

 

More importantly, after he had stepped into Tier-6, his entire body had become a complete entity. He no longer needed to strengthen each part using Evolution Points like before.

 

Now, Evolution Points were mostly used for enlightenment or to deduce entirely new abilities.

 

And now… was precisely one such time.

 

He needed to deduce an ability, one that would let him wield the Spacetime Principle to its fullest, a terrifying new power tailored perfectly to him.

 

With that, Yu Zi Yu whispered, “System, I wish to consume evolution points to simulate an ability that suits me.”

 

<Ding! Are you sure you want to spend 10 billion Evolution Points to simulate a new ability?>

 

“10 billion…?”

 

Yu Zi Yu froze in brief surprise, but did not hesitate.

 

10 billion Evolution Points, he could get them by killing a few Tier-6s.

 

And if such a price could grant him a fitting and fearsome power, then no cost was too high.

 

Having made his mind, Yu Zi Yu nodded his affirmation, “Confirm. Begin simulation.”

 

The words had barely left his mouth when his entire body trembled violently, for in that instant, a mystical, otherworldly sensation surged forth, enveloping him completely…
