CHAPTER 47: CHAPTER 24: SHORTCUT TO THE HEAVENS—IMMORTAL TREE!

[...]

Watching A Xin slowly climb the "World’s Peak," Li Hao remained silent.

No one understood better than Li Hao how difficult it was to climb the "World’s Peak," even for an Immortal with an Immortal Body.

Because the Immortal Body granted to the Immortal only the ability of "immortality."

Pain, fatigue, extreme cold, scorching heat...

Immortals possess all the perceptions that normal people have, even more acute than the average person.

Back when Balian forcibly lifted the seal of the Dragon-headed Giant, enduring the excruciating backlash of Celestial Punishment, Li Hao was already shocked.

And now, A Xin had continuously appeared in the most evil places of the world for thousands of years.

Now even beginning to climb the "World’s Peak," which has no concept of height.

The hardship and pain among this can be deeply understood only by A Xin.

[Path of Immortality, as you wished!]

When Li Hao’s voice clearly echoed in A Xin’s ears.

The "World’s Peak," which originally had no concept of height, was fixed in place.

The height A Xin was now climbing became the future height of the "World’s Peak."

In the future, any creature attempting to climb the "World’s Peak" could only reach the height A Xin was at now.

Because this is both the peak of the "World’s Peak" and the endpoint of the "Secret of Immortal."

Rumble!

Before A Xin could realize what had happened, a blaze of sky fire suddenly fell from the sky.

Like the sun, yet like a meteor...

The extreme mountain peak was forcibly flattened, shrouded in a wave of spring warmth.

Under the astonished, envious, and even jealous gaze of Hua She.

A towering tree burning with black flames rose from the ground, growing at the very center of the "World’s Peak."

The previous wave of warm spring warmth was precisely brought about by that tree burning in flames.

"Your Father God does spoil you all."

Glancing down at Hua She, A Xin clearly hadn’t comprehended what happened.

If not for the voice that echoed in A Xin’s ears reminding her all this was a miracle brought by the Father God.

A Xin might still be in bewilderment even now.

"What I mean is... the ’Elixir of Immortality’ you desperately seek is right in front of you."

As if to confirm Hua She’s words.

That tree burning with black flames suddenly flashed with a golden light.

The next moment, a majestic and solemn phantom of the Fire God appeared.

He possessed the physique of a dog-headed humanoid.

The figure in golden armor and radiant cloak left a deep impression.

Before A Xin could grasp what this meant.

A tall black hound walked out from behind the tree, with a dragon-shaped bone stick in its mouth.

[Artifact: Immortal Tree]

[Type: Plant]

[Quality: Legend]

[Function: A Divine Tree that grows at the World’s Peak, containing the flames of the Secret of Immortal.]

...

Materializing the [Fire Divine Role] into the form of a Divine Tree was an attempt Li Hao made after much contemplation.

The [Fire Divine Role] is a form of divine "authority," so could this authority be distributed further?

Or more specifically, is the "Divine Position" a fixed concept?

If you are deemed to hold the authority of the Fire God, will you forever be the Fire God?

The original Fire God could only control fire, so with the development of the times, is a nuclear explosion considered a form of fire?

Thinking even further, the black flames of Huo Dou are the "Unlucky Flames."

Does this imply that the [Fire Divine Role] is actually just a fundamental authority?

The capabilities developed from this authority entirely depend on the thoughts and abilities of the user.

After all, if you really think about it, the Sun God could also be considered a Fire God!

Facts have proven that Li Hao’s attempt indeed holds some feasibility.

Even a regular tree can transform into a Divine Tree after acquiring the [Fire Divine Role].

Of course, given the gap between a regular tree and Huo Dou.

The quality of the [Immortal Tree] directly drops one level from Rare Treasures to Legend.

Besides that, Li Hao also discovered that the essence of the [Fire Divine Role] is actually the rights he can exercise as a Creator in this world.

Ordinary Gods evolve bit by bit by assuming various divine positions, ultimately transcending the world itself.

But Li Hao, known as the "Primordial Spirit," is entirely different.

He inherently possesses complete authority and can freely distribute portions of his power within his governed world.

But unlike those like the Dragon-headed Giant, who are truly recognized as Apostles by Li Hao.

The [Fire Divine Role] is merely a small portion of his power shared, effective only within his governed world.

Compared to those Gods and Apostles who can exist independently of the world.

This sharing is at most Li Hao finding others to temporarily take over his tasks when he’s unavailable.

The relationship difference between the two is like the difference between a company partner and a regular employee.

One holds shares, while the other receives a fixed salary.

However, even if just a fixed salaried worker, Huo Dou and the Immortal Tree are not the same.

Huo Dou is truly an agent Fire God, mastering the [Fire Divine Role].

Whereas the Immortal Tree is merely a derivative of the [Fire Divine Role], barely considered a subordinate of Huo Dou?

"Is this the ’Path of Immortality’ bestowed by the Father God?"

With Hua She’s reminder, A Xin slowly approached the immortally burning Immortal Tree.

"Woof!"

Seeing this, Huo Dou reluctantly dropped the bone stick from its mouth.

Then suddenly leaped and broke off a branch burning with black flames from the Immortal Tree.

[Artifact: Non Burning Wood]

[Type: Plant]

[Quality: Rare]

[Function: This is a peculiar wood that can burn continuously day and night, unaffected by storms, its flame never extinguishing.]

...

As A Xin cautiously took the Non Burning Wood handed to her by Huo Dou.

The true usage of the [Non Burning Wood] became instantly clear to her.

Witnessing this scene, Hua She’s jealousy intensified.

In other worlds, a Divine item so precious, yet here it is simply used as a "consumable" for longevity.

If Ascenders, who labored to activate the [Ascension Ladder], saw such lavish squandering, they would surely envy Hua She to the point of cell lysis.

In a sense, the present [Immortal Tree] birthed at the "World’s Peak" is indeed a shortcut for ascension to divinity.

Any Ascender who comprehends its mysteries could at least become a Fire God.

More fortunate ones might even double as minor divine positions like disaster, unknown, or longevity.
