Meanwhile, just beneath Skyhaven, on the ground, a girl in a white dress slowly approached. What was surprising was that Yu Zi Yu had failed to notice her approach.

Her expression was indifferent, almost devoid of emotion. Her eyes, hollow and tinged with confusion.

“Human … Race…” Murmuring to herself, a hint of nostalgia flickered deep within the girl’s eyes.

She, too, was once Human, but now…

Raising her hand in a daze and gazing at the arm that had already begun to slowly disappear, with only faint traces remaining, the girl’s face contorted with indescribable bitterness.

[A chosen being, destined for involuntary suffering!] Thinking this, the girl lifted her foot and walked towards the city that loomed above her head.

*Tap…* Just as her foot stepped in the air, the entire sky shook and cracks appeared in space, resembling a shattered mirror. Simultaneously, the girl’s expression grew increasingly indifferent, her eyes becoming more hollow.

It was as if her consciousness was fading away.

She was Snow. The last time the Flood Dragon King destroyed various Human Cities, she had made a brief appearance. However, upon sensing Yu Zi Yu’s aura, she chose not to intervene.

After all, it was not time.

Every single time Humans suffered horrendous casualties, whether by coincidence, fate, or some cosmic design, she would appear out of nowhere, either observing silently or staring.

Her presence seemed like a disaster. Wherever she went, devastation followed.

She remembered vividly, three years ago when she truly awakened, the Sea Clan had invaded various continents, causing billions of Human casualties.

Later, she passed through a Human City plagued by a rat plague, where millions of people perished.

And… she ventured into the desert, where a sandstorm engulfed several Human Tribes.

One of her friends had once declared, ‘She is the embodiment of disaster, the true source of calamity.’

No matter where she went, no matter where she fled, disaster seemed to spread.

And now…

She had arrived.

She came to the American Continent, the stronghold of Human power.

She did not want to come here, fearing that her presence would again unleash unprecedented catastrophe. However, she had no control over herself. Walking with light steps, she crossed oceans and continents and finally arrived beneath this floating city.

Faintly, something seemed to be calling her.

Bitterly smiling, Snow slowly walked towards Skyhaven. She had already sensed it—the terrifying aura.

“It’s that Tree Monster…” Murmuring to herself, realization dawned upon Snow. [I guess the Tree Monster is attacking the Humans.]

Just then…

*Boom!* A thunderous clap rang in Snow’s mind, shaking it horribly before an indescribably terrifying pressure surged from the depths of her Soul.

“Remember, you are not the embodiment of disaster, you exist to protect…” A majestic voice, seemingly coming from ancient times, echoed in Snow’s mind, causing her brain to vibrate even more fiercely.

Simultaneously, Snow’s Mind Domain unexpectedly began to expand at this moment, steadily increasing.

41%…

42%…

Bit by bit…

Little by little…

Each increase brought about a terrifying qualitative change in her brain.

At the same time, the once clear sky darkened.

*Rumble, rumble, rumble…* Suddenly, amidst flashes of lightning and rolling thunder, a massive vortex of dark clouds was formed in the sky.

However, what was even more horrifying was the tremendous pressure that shot straight into the sky.

However, ordinary people could not perceive this pressure, because the moment it soared into the sky, the sky suddenly shattered like a mirror, while that slender figure silently arrived on the backside of the world, a place filled with desolation and emptiness.

…

Meanwhile, deep in the Void Space…

A Colossal Tree, so vast that it could be considered boundless, silently hovered. Around it, nine enormous vortexes spun continuously.

With each rotation, ripples of Spiritual Energy spread through the Void Space, creating storms. However, compared to the magnificent phenomena around it, the Giant Tree itself was far more spectacular.

Its trunk was so tall that it seemed to be piercing through Heaven, with prismatic Spiritual Energy glow flowing around it. Its glowing branches, swaying in the stormy Void Space, resembled mystical divine chains. And as for the lower part of its body…

A seemingly endless Green Dragon was coiled beneath the Tree, with Dragon Roars echoing every now and then.

It appeared to be lying dormant yet half-awake. Around this Green Dragon, one could hear endless roars and hissing, with each root having taken all sorts of Mutant Beasts.

There were purple-coloured Titanoboas, whose bodies kept extending with each roar. There were also hissing pitch-black creatures, resembling Flood Dragons, with ice-cold Dragon Eyes.

This was Yu Zi Yu’s current form that no Human had ever laid eyes upon, and also the terrifying form that had truly taken root in Void Space.

His 81 secondary roots, using the Cosmic Roots as a medium, continuously extracted energy from the Void Space.

While his primary root, the Green Dragon, like its appearance, was truly in deep slumber.

However, Yu Zi Yu believed that when it opened its eyes, it would signify his strength reaching an extreme peak.

However, now, something unbelievable, something shocking had happened.

Breaking through space, a figure clad in a gently fluttering white muslin dress arrived deep within the Void Space, calmly floating not far from Yu Zi Yu.

Her features were somewhat blurred, not easy to discern.

Long, flowing hair cascaded elegantly, seemingly imbued with an inexplicable power, emitting a faint sheen.

No, more accurately, this woman’s entire body exuded a shimmering glow that even Yu Zi Yu found difficult to comprehend.

“Who are you…” Voicing his doubt and suspicion, Yu Zi Yu’s awareness was fully drawn back from Skyhaven to his true form.

“… ” However, his query received no response, apart from the slender figure slowly raising her hand.

“I am here to protect…”

Yu Zi Yu vaguely heard a faint whisper.

But the next moment…

*Boooooom…* A thunderous explosion shook the entire Void Space.

The Void Space began collapsing, as if unable to withstand the force of a single palm from that slender figure.

Amidst all this, a palm imprint flew out of the slender figure’s hand, growing bigger and bigger as it flew towards Yu Zi Yu’s true form that was thousands or even tens of thousands of meters away.

In a flash, Yu Zi Yu lightly shouted as a crystalline brilliance covered Yu Zi Yu’s entire body, “Divine Technique—Crystallization.”

*Baaaam!” With a deafening clap, the palm imprint fell upon Yu Zi Yu’s true body, even shaking it slightly.

If one were to look closely at Yu Zi Yu now, they would discover a three-inch-deep enormous palm imprint on his tree body.

It was just three inches deep.

Compared to Yu Zi Yu’s formidable physique, it was truly insignificant.
