Nine Tails, after transmitting the message using Spiritual Energy, and seeing a hint of gratitude deep within Spirit Turtle’s eyes, nodded with a smile.

[One piece of advice in exchange for the appreciation of a rising star, not bad.] Although Nine Tails no longer cared much for such things, she did not mind lending a hand from time to time to forge some goodwill.

However, at that moment, a thought struck, and Nine Tails turned to gaze into the distance at a massive, cold figure resembling a gargantuan monster, as large as a mountain, emerging from the abyss.

It was Sarcosuchus, an Atavistic Mutant Beast with the purest Rock Dragon Bloodline. He had nearly reverted to a cold, primordial massive creature.

Now, he was already a Demigod, just a half-step away from Tier-5. However, compared to other Mutant Beasts, his breakthrough was exceedingly difficult.

Bloodline was both a foundation and a shackle. And the source of conflict lay in the combination of his Rock Dragon Bloodline and his Ancestral Bloodline.

*Haaaaa…* Heaving a sigh, Nine Tails took the initiative to greet Sarcosuchus, “How are things now?”

“About to undergo a Second Atavism…” Saying this, Sarcosuchus looked helplessly at the night sky.

The Rock Dragon Bloodline was strong—truly strong. However, the problem was, his Ancestral Bloodline was no less troublesome.

As he grew stronger, he neared the Second Atavism.

What did a Second Atavism mean? A return to the most primal state, mastering the most fundamental ‘Beast Power.’

This power was terrifying—enough to rival or even suppress the purest Rock Dragon Bloodline. It was increasingly savage, and increasingly violent. Furthermore, it was accompanied by the transformation of his body, growing more fearsome by the day, to the point where even the Rock Dragon Bloodline was being suppressed.

Now, looking at Sarcosuchus, it was hard to discern any trace of the original Giant Dragon. His once majestic form had transformed into something far more fearsome.

His long, cold jaws were lined with over a hundred massive teeth, gleaming like the lances of European knights. Thick, iron-like muscles twisted around his massive frame, resembling cables of steel, giving him an almost mechanical appearance.

At first glance, Sarcosuchus seemed more like a creature forged from metal than a living being. Yet beneath that imposing exterior, his body pulsed with life—every fiber packed with breathing, rippling muscle. His strength and defense surpassed others at his level by tenfold, making him a living fortress of unmatched power. He was a true incarnation of a monster.

*Huuuuu…* Taking a deep breath, Nine Tails cast a helpless glance at Sarcosuchus.

[Sarcosuchus is caught in a rock and hard place. He could either abandon his Rock Dragon Bloodline and fully undergo his Second Atavism. Or forsake the Beast Power and awaken his Rock Dragon Bloodline’s strength. Either choice would come at a great cost, potentially harming his foundation and causing him to stagnate in the future. So… in the end, he would need to request for Master’s intervention, to see if there is a better way. Perhaps he might even require Master’s supernatural powers to merge the two Bloodlines.]

Thinking this, Nine Tails suggested again, “You should return this time. You’ve delayed long enough. If you keep holding off, and can no longer suppress it, it will be too late…”

“…” In rare silence, Sarcosuchus’ eyes dimmed.

He had thought that he would be able to handle it. However, in the end, he realized he had overestimated himself. The two Bloodlines were far beyond what he could handle with his current ability.

It was a difficult choice, or rather, he had no choice at all.

With a slight nod, Sarcosuchus agreed, “I understand, Elder Sister, I will return with you.”

Acquiescing, Sarcosuchus lowered his eyes, lost in thought.

Nine Tails, who had been observing, naturally understood the situation.

[Half a year ago, Master had already sensed the anomaly in Old Fourth’s Bloodline. He specifically instructed me to bring him back to the Nine Realms of Heaven. Yet, out of pride, Old Fourth refused. The reason for his refusal was clear. Overestimating his own strength while underestimating the terrifying force of the Second Atavism and the Rock Dragon Bloodline has led to today’s bitter consequences.]

*Haaaa…* With a sigh, Nine Tails comforted, “Everything will be fine. Master will find a way to help you.”

Listening quietly, Sarcosuchus remained silent for a while before finally speaking in a hoarse, low voice filled with guilt, “Master just broke through and needs to consolidate his cultivaiton. I don’t want him to intervene on my behalf and delay his own progress…”

“You…” Shaking her head helplessly, Nine Tails smiled wryly.

[This is Sarcosuchus. Though cold and fierce, he always thinks of Master first. However, Master likely already understood this. Otherwise, he would not have specifically ordered me to ensure Old Fourth returns this time.]

…

After persuading Sarcosuchus, Nine Tails looked over the plains, carefully selecting 20-30 of the strongest experts. Afterward she went to where the experts of Elysia were imprisoned and selected some more strong experts.

These strong experts were all at least at Tier-4, making them the best candidates for Yu Zi Yu’s current Sentinels.

Moreover, these individuals, having reached Tier-4 on their own, were exceptionally talented. With access to the resources of Misty Mountains, it would not be difficult for them to advance even further.

This was why Yu Zi Yu had sent Nine Tails to personally choose them.

Firstly, to intimidate. Secondly, to show their own importance…

…

Not long after, the flames that had engulfed Planet Elysia gradually faded, leaving only a massive void rift, slowly closing.

At the same time, in a distant corner of the Milky Way:

*Crack…* A crisp sound echoed as a void crack, spanning 1,000 meters, opened near a Gargantuan Tree that blotted out the sky, with one expert after another emerging soon after.

“This is the legendary Divine Tree?” Raising his gaze, Chi Yan, one of the Four Heroes of China, stared at the Colossal Tree, his eyes filled with awe.

The Tree was so huge that it seemed as if it were holding up the entire starry sky. His branches were glowing and looked like mystical divine chains. Nine vortices of different colors rotated endlessly around it, like stars.

From a single glance, only a small part of the Divine Tree could be seen, its true form far beyond what could be comprehended. Its indescribable size made the nearby planets seem small in comparison.

“What a terrifying sight!?” With a similar sense of awe, Spirit Turtle suppressed his shock.

Indeed, Yu Zi Yu’s current form was magnificent, comparable to a celestial body. Even these top-tier Tier-4 Transcendents were left speechless.

However, now wasn’t the time to be overwhelmed by such things.

*Swish, swish…* One after another, glowing branches, resembling divine chains, pierced through the starry sky, slowly extending toward the gathered Transcendents.

When the branches reached them, they were astonished to find that each branch had transformed into a broad road, spanning hundreds or even thousands of meters.

To these powerful beings, hundreds or thousands of meters was not wide at all, but considering these were branches, it was terrifying. And this was just one of the many branches of the Divine Tree.

“Come aboard,” a faint voice, like a breeze, brushed past the ears of the Transcendents, sending shivers through their bodies.

One by one, they unconsciously lifted their feet and stepped onto the branches.
