Chapter 1344: Chapter 1000: Tree of the Universe

For gods, for the current Su Yu, none of these were difficult matters.

The three figures maintaining human forms were silent. In the center stood a woman, draped in a white robe, appearing quite young—merely in her twenties. Her face was so perfect it seemed almost unreal. To her left was a middle-aged man with a square face, his features stern and serious.

To her right was an old man who, at first glance, appeared benevolent and kindly, a staff in hand.

These two men and one woman quietly surveyed Su Yu in front of them, gradually revealing an indescribable oddity in their expressions.

To beings like Su Yu, who had just "awakened" as a god, they should have been able to see through each other’s energy levels at a glance. Achieving true godhood wasn’t mainly about energy, but about the comprehension of divinity and the "awakening" that qualified one for true godhood. As for the strength of the energy, it wasn’t the most crucial aspect, though of course, even the weakest true god, once "awakened" and gaining insight into divinity, could manipulate and possess energy not less than that of ten units of solar energy.

Conversely, without divinity or the "awakening," even if one had the energy of a hundred suns, they couldn’t become a genuine deity, unable to discern falsehood from reality. Encountering a true god, they would be easily defeated, rendering their power utterly meaningless.

Of course, beings who possess the energy of a hundred suns and yet are unable to "awaken" to true godhood are exceedingly rare. Typically, an "awakened" true god would have an energy level around that of about ten suns, and at most, no more than twenty units of solar energy.

Yet now, these two men and one woman could not see through Su Yu’s energy levels, which is why they felt something peculiar.

Although the two men and one woman weren’t among the highest echelons of true gods, they certainly weren’t the lowest. Especially the white-robed woman in the middle, whose body contained energy equivalent to more than a hundred suns. Nevertheless, she couldn’t see through Su Yu, who had just "awakened" and become a true god.

The middle-aged man and the elder to her sides glanced at the woman, who gave a slight shake of her head, indicating her inability to see through him. Surprise flickered in the eyes of the men.

Could it be that the "divinity" understood by this man before them was to shield all his own information? So that even the white-robed woman, a mid-tier true god with energy more than a hundred suns, couldn’t see through him?

"I am Zhuang Siya, the Flower God, with divine energy of 152 suns," said the white-robed woman in the middle, introducing herself immediately upon seeing Su Yu open his eyes.

The middle-aged man on the left pointed to himself with a smile and said, "Zhao Guowei, the Charcoal God, divine energy of 95 suns."

The elder on the right spoke slowly, "Ye Zhongshu, the God of Destruction, divine energy of 79 suns."

After the three beings finished introducing themselves, they all focused their attention on Su Yu, evidently awaiting his introduction.

Listening to their divine names, Su Yu thought that the white-robed woman’s "Flower God" seemed the least formidable yet was the strongest, whereas the old man’s "God of Destruction" sounded impressive but was actually the weakest.

Thinking to himself, Su Yu smiled and said, "My name is Su Yu, and I... I still don’t know what god I should be called. Divine energy... My divine energy is..."

Suddenly he realized that even the strongest of these three true gods had only a little over a hundred suns, whereas his own body possessed an entire universe. He couldn’t bring himself to say his energy came from a universe, for fear of frightening these three true gods to death. He pondered briefly then casually claimed around a hundred suns, which would place him lower than Zhuang Siya, the "Flower God," but still strong enough to not be looked down upon.

For the current Su Yu, "a hundred suns" worth of energy was merely a drop in the ocean of his true power, but to the three deities before him, it provoked an odd reaction.

They did not know how many years they had been cultivating. Among them, the most powerful "Flower God" Zhuang Siya had only achieved 152 suns. "The Charcoal God" Zhao Guowei had not even reached a hundred suns. Was it possible that this young man, who had just "awakened," already possessed a hundred suns?

"The Charcoal God" Zhao Guowei and the "God of Destruction" Ye Zhongshu wore disbelieving expressions.

Hearing Su Yu claim a hundred suns, "The Flower God" Zhuang Siya showed shock, followed by a spark of interest. She scrutinized Su Yu with a newfound warmth, "A divine name is based on the divinity you comprehend. My divinity is flowers, hence Flower God. Ye Zhongshu’s divinity is destruction, so he is the God of Destruction. What is your divinity?"

Su Yu thought about his attribute, which had always been thunder. Now, after "awakening," and with the integration of the Giant Will, he could switch attributes with just a thought. But explaining all that seemed too complicated, and he did not want to boast, so he replied, "I see. I can control thunder."

Zhuang Siya nodded and said, "Then you are of the Thunder God lineage. From now on, you may call yourself Thunder God. Your divine power has reached a hundred solar energies, just enough to meet the standard of a mid-level deity. Since you have awakened from the state of ignorance, I need to tell you some things that only true gods are qualified to know."

Su Yu nodded, thinking of the owner of the Rule Hall, that God of the Rules, and the matter of the Final Battlefield he had mentioned. He had said that once he became a true deity, he would naturally know. The sudden appearance of these three great deities—were they going to tell him about the Final Battlefield?

"Having awakened as a true god, you have both the qualification and the duty to participate in the Final Battlefield. It is our responsibility as true gods." Zhuang Siya’s expression turned solemn, and when the Charcoal God and the God of Destruction heard about the Final Battlefield, they instinctively took a sharp breath, as if sensing an air of tragic severity.

"Participate in the Final Battlefield? What does that mean?" Su Yu revealed a puzzled expression, thinking to himself, "Just as the God of the Rules had said, once one reaches the realm of a true god, one can learn about the Final Battlefield."

"The Final Battlefield is a space that even gods feel despair over. It is the final stronghold that we can protect. If it falls, everything will come to an end, including us true gods, every existing universe, world, and all beings. All will be destroyed, no creature will survive."

"This battle is called the Final Battlefield because we have no way out. If we fail... the apocalypse for all beings will come."

The Flower God’s words were spoken casually, but they were filled with an intense sense of tragedy that hit hard. Su Yu instinctively took a deep breath, thinking of the Golden Emperor, who was left with only half a skull, thinking of the fallen human ancestor, the Warlord, thinking of the God of the Rules.

"If it is called a battlefield, then who is the adversary?" Su Yu inquired.

Zhuang Siya sighed softly and said, "Our opponent is a completely different form of life from us deities. Once you’re on the Final Battlefield, you’ll understand. Now, I want to hear your choice. Joining the Final Battlefield is not compulsory; you may choose to join us or to retreat."

Su Yu was taken aback. "I can choose not to enter the Final Battlefield?"

Ye Zhongshu touched the beard below his forehead and said, "That’s right. Participation in battle cannot be forced. If you truly do not wish to, no one will compel you."

The Charcoal God, Zhao Guowei, said, "We should take you to the Final Battlefield first so you can have a look. Then, you can make your decision."

Su Yu thought for a moment and nodded.

"Good, follow us."

After the Flower God Zhuang Siya finished speaking, the three true gods transformed into beams of rainbow light, projecting themselves towards a distant point.

Su Yu hurried to keep up. The speed of these deities was not slow, but Su Yu had no difficulty keeping pace, neither hurrying nor lagging. Zhao Guowei and Ye Zhongshu noticed this and nodded secretly, starting to believe that this newly achieved true god, the Thunder God, might indeed possess the energy of a hundred suns.

"Upon entering the Final Battlefield, conserving energy becomes very important. Do not waste it frivolously."

Zhuang Siya, who was flying the fastest, reminded Su Yu, who was slightly taken aback but responded.

The four true gods, moving at a speed more terrifying than traversing space and time, instantly appeared a terrifyingly dark fissure on the distant horizon.

As Su Yu followed them into this dark fissure, what met his eyes were gigantic, twisted things like tree roots extending in every direction, creating an immensely bizarre sight as they traveled through the cracks in the space filled with entangled root-like structures.

After an indeterminate amount of flying, brightness returned to Su Yu’s view. Although the heavens and earth were still dim, it was much better than in the dark fissure. Then, he saw an immensely huge space, with walls stretching in all directions covered in vine-like creatures. An unceasing flow of energy was being transmitted in every direction through these root-like tendrils.

Even as a true god, Su Yu watched in awe.

"What are those?" Su Yu could clearly feel the vastness of the energy being transmitted through these root-like channels. The energy contained within a single root would require counting in the trillions or even quadrillions of stellar suns, something beyond imagination.

"What you see now are the roots of the ’Tree of the Universe.’ Countless ’universes’ depend on these ’Trees of the Universe’ to survive. The universe where Earth, where we humans live... is also one among the countless universes within this Tree of the Universe. If this place is destroyed, the countless universes... will also be extinguished..."
