Tianyou, the protection of the Heavenly Way, the only one who can be protected by the most impartial Heavenly Way is His own incarnation. With such a conspicuous name, how come I never had any doubts back then?
Si Beihan finally regained his memory. He was a little afraid to look Yu Ling in the eye and stammered, "Yu... Yu Yu... you're finally back."
Yu Yu? That name still sounds so awkward, a dark history!
But looking at Tianyou—no, now Si Beihan—and seeing him say it with such a sacred and noble air... how should I put it? This damn contrast is kind of interesting.
Yu Ling waved her hand, signaling to pause for a moment, then used Mo Xuanyu's body to take Chu Fan and the Demon Lord away, leaving the space completely in their hands before getting straight to the point: "Back then, you actually came to kill me, didn't you?"
What love at first sight? That guy who deliberately approached him was clearly after the jade marrow inside him! But in the end, he ended up falling in love with this simpleton by some twist of fate, and then inexplicably left him, leaving him heartbroken for a long time.
The once aloof and arrogant deity lowered his head like a child who had made a mistake. He offered no excuses; his silence was his answer.
Yu Ling was right.
"So, you ordered the Demon Lord, whose heavenly tribulation is about to begin, to find me this time, also for the Frost Jade Marrow?"
"No!"
Seeing that Yu Ling actually thought so much about him, Si Beihan's fists clenched and unclenched repeatedly, unable to relax. When he looked up again, his eyes were already filled with tears.
"Yu Yu, I had really decided to accept that fact and let you share this world with me. It was that damned [beep] that stole you from my side with dirty tricks!"
Hmm... I'm guessing this censored word refers to the Supreme God.
Yu Ling naturally believed the words of an incarnation of the Heavenly Dao more, but didn't he live too long and die of old age? How did he become the main god thief?
"You mean, I wouldn't have died originally?" Yu Ling naturally asked, puzzled.
"You are the energy carrier of the Frost Jade Marrow, nearly as old as heaven and earth, with a lifespan equal to mine, so how could you die?" Si Beihan also revealed the final truth of the matter, "Initially, I intended to plant a World Tree in the extremely cold land of the Immortal Realm, and the Frost Jade Marrow was the nourishment I prepared for it..."
As Si Beihan spoke, the events that had been hidden on the surface were revealed to Yu Ling.
At that time, the Heavenly Dao did not know what rest was. It was already operating beyond its capacity to govern the world, and it just so happened that it needed to stratify the world's power system and divide the positions of the Immortal Realm and the Cultivation Realm.
He was so busy that he accidentally turned the temperature of what was supposed to be the coldest place in the celestial realm down to an extremely low level.
Humans could not survive there at all, but the icy jade marrow prepared for the World Tree is still inside.
The birth of the world is irreversible, and it cannot be changed.
In order to patch things up, Heaven had no choice but to dismantle the cultivation world, starting with the Nascent Soul realm to separate the Upper Realm and the Lower Realm.
Therefore, the term "Immortal Realm" has become a general term for the residence of some powerful immortals, or a place that only they can set foot in.
Afterwards, the Heavenly Dao even personally intervened, intending to retrieve the nutrients meant for the World Tree and plant it in the Upper Realm of the Immortal Cultivation World. However, even the Heavenly Dao himself, who transformed into the Lower Realm, could not be born at the maximum level.
The cultivation took a while, and by the time they returned to the place, Yu Ling, who had absorbed all the icy jade marrow, had already transformed into human form.
Unaware that she had become the World Tree, Yu Ling only thought of herself as a mutated being, and still regarded herself as an ice crystal tree spirit. Excessively high cultivation level? I mutated, it's normal. Long lifespan and unable to die? I mutated, it's normal. Too beautiful? I mutated, it's normal.
The naive tree spirit, who considered himself quite ordinary, met the equally naive incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, who was also Si Beihan's previous incarnation—Tianyou.
After that, the two lonely hearts gradually grew closer as they explored the bustling world together, finding warmth in each other. Being together felt so natural, and Heaven never had the heart to extract the Frost Jade Marrow from Yu Ling's body.
However, if the World Tree develops its own consciousness, then it will be threatened with being usurped as the ruler of this world, and it will also be a weak point that makes it vulnerable to invasion by other worlds.
The Heavenly Dao's self-preservation instinct told it to kill Yu Ling, but its own heart told it that it had fallen in love with this tree, and that it could never accept either destroying the soul or turning the powerful Yu Ling into an ordinary tree spirit!
Just when He was most confused, because the world was flawed (the World Tree Jade Spirit, who had not yet ascended to power, had never fulfilled its duties), the Supreme God came because He could smell the scent.
The Supreme God said He could help Him solve this problem. If both sides were willing to establish a cooperative relationship, He would be given a great deal of world energy, absolutely enough to cultivate a new World Tree. Furthermore, the Supreme God guaranteed that Yu Ling would absolutely not die.
Si Beihan's voice grew softer and softer as he spoke, but he spoke the last sentence very loudly: "I was confused and agreed to His request, and [beep] kept his promise, but who knew that His method was to pack you up and take you away with your soul and tree!"
Yuling:..........
It was unexpected, and I was a little angry, but I didn't know who to be angry at.
"Then what should I do?"
Yu Ling couldn't tell Si Beihan anything about the God, but she believed that Si Beihan knew very well what he was asking. He had been turned into a sword by the God, so even if he wasn't dead, he couldn't be happy.
“I can’t break your contract with the [beep] (God), but I’ve kept all the world energy I got in exchange. I’ve made up my mind that only you can be my World Tree, and I will definitely grow a new body for you.”
Si Beihan took out the backup Ice Crystal Tree seed from the Genesis and handed it to Yu Ling, along with a verbal guarantee.
"Although His methods are unethical, this is also your opportunity. Once you become a remarkable [beep] (task taker), come back and retire. I'll always reserve half of my world for you. And... how long can you stay with me this time?"
With the favor of Heaven itself, Yu Ling not only didn't have to worry about surviving, but her new body was also growing vigorously, and a year passed in the blink of an eye.
[Ding! Main Quest: Survive! (Completed) Side Quest: Before completing the main quest, ascend to the upper realm with the protagonist of the quest world. (Completed) This is a cumulative quest.

Although the system doesn't know what exactly happened to the host, it doesn't care if it's a little confused as long as there are survival points to earn—it just needs to shout for the host.
