Evolution From the Big Tree

Suddenly, Tundra’s vitality began to drain away as a bone-chilling cold enveloped Tundra from the inside out.

It was the presence of death.

Tundra knew—he was about to die, truly die. His heart had been ripped out; how could there still be any life left?

At this moment, Tundra thought about many things. He remembered the days when he teamed up with his Seventh Brother to explore the polar glaciers and the battles he fought alongside his Fourth Brother on the battlefield…

However, despite all these memories, Tundra felt not a single ounce of resentment.

His life had been a gift from his Master. Without his Master, he would have remained a mere Tier-2 or Tier-3 beast. How could he have gained sentience? How could he have reached Tier-4?

This was the unwavering loyalty of the Mutant Beast that had followed Yu Zi Yu from the very beginning, simple and pure, to a level that was almost unimaginable.

Knowing this, how could Yu Zi Yu ever allow Tundra to truly die? However, replacing one’s Bloodline was easier than done.

If it were just a matter of removing all the blood, and only needed Thorns to drain it, why would such a procedure carry a 1% survival rate, or even certain death?

The key was that the heart had to be replaced as well! Even an ordinary person knew that the heart played a huge role in the circulation and generation of blood. Without replacing the heart, the blood replacement would be incomplete.

That was why Yu Zi Yu had Zi Lian extract Tundra’s heart, effectively taking Tundra’s life.

At this moment, Tundra was really dead. His body was devoid of any signs of life. His once-bright eyes were slowly fading into a dull, lifeless gray.

“Tundra…”

“Old Eighth…”

…

One heart-wrenching cry after another filled the air as Thorns, along with the onlookers, Nine Tails, Bull Demon, and the others stared in shock.

They could not believe what they were seeing.

Some, driven by impulsiveness, had bloodshot eyes, glaring fiercely at Zi Lian, who had pulled out Tundra’s heart.

They did not dare blame their Master, but Zi Lian, who had taken Tundra’s life, was right in front of their eyes.

However, before Thorns or the others could do anything,

*Boooooom…* A fearsome aura suddenly erupted as Tundra’s carcass was lifted by an invisible force before everyone’s eyes. At the same time, purple blood came pouring down from the sky, submerging Tundra’s dried carcass within it.

Under the control of this invisible force, the purple blood started flowing into Tundra, filling up his dried body within a few breaths.

But even then, Tundra remained completely lifeless.

Dead.

Truly dead.

“Master, why?” Suddenly, a voice inquired.

Turning to look, it was Old Third—White Tiger. His eyes, completely red, as he voiced the question on everyone’s mind.

“Replacing the Bloodline is not as simple as you think. Even a 1% survival rate was an exaggeration. In truth, it’s a certain path to doom.” As Yu Zi Yu’s voice echoed through the void, White Tiger and the others froze.

But after a moment, staring at Tundra’s carcass, White Tiger gritted his teeth in defiance and asked again, “Then why, Master, just why did you still proceed with the blood replacement for Old Eighth? Wasn’t he fine as he was?”

“Even if Old Eighth was a bit weaker, it wouldn’t have mattered. We would have taken care of him, would have protected him…” White Tiger’s voice trembled with each word, as if on the verge of crying.

Of all the ten Divine Beasts, none were more impulsive than White Tiger. Still, the one who values emotions and kinship the most was also White Tiger.

Who would have thought that White Tiger, hailed by the world as the ‘Storm King’ and the ‘Embodiment of Disaster,’ was actually the most caring among the Ten Divine Beasts?

It was somewhat ironic, and a little amusing.

However, right now, White Tiger’s eyes were glistening with tears for the first time.

Yet, his tears only received silence, complete silence. Even Yu Zi Yu remained silent.

After all, it was rare to see White Tiger shed tears. Moreover, this unique atmosphere was a kind of mental and physical cleansing for the other Divine Beasts, tempering their minds and Souls. Otherwise, Yu Zi Yu would not have allowed them to witness this.

To be honest, Yu Zi Yu was meticulous to the extreme. He was even using such emotional moments to temper the will of the many Divine Beasts, as well as the Elemental Generals. Only by experiencing life and death could their state of mind reach new heights.

This was Yu Zi Yu’s true plan, and it appeared to be working, quite well. At the very least, Yu Zi Yu could see that each familiar face was expressing genuine emotion.

Even Qing Gang was gritting his teeth, watching the scene in disbelief.

[It’s about time.] Speaking to himself in his heart, Yu Zi Yu’s eyes gleamed as he looked toward Tundra’s lifeless body.

If he did not bring Tundra back soon, it might cause unwanted complications. So, it was time for him to bring the curtain down on the entire thing.

As for saving Tundra, as a Tier-6 Transcendent, known as ‘Immortal Tree,’ whose primary root had transformed into an Azure Dragon, if he could not revive his own subordinate, it would be really laughable.

Moreover, he was not just going to save him; he was going to rebuild Tundra’s foundation.

However, this required Yu Zi Yu to part with a priceless treasure.

But after some thought, Yu Zi Yu suppressed his reluctance. In his eyes, Tundra’s life was far more valuable to any kind of treasure. Besides, Yu Zi Yu believed that Tundra would repay him tenfold in the future.

As these thoughts flashed in his mind, a powerful surge of Spiritual Energy broke out from Yu Zi Yu with a thunderous boom, shaking even the void itself.

Moments later, in the astonished eyes of Nine Tails, Bull Demon, and the others, a green orb resembling a heart appeared in the air.

It was the Tree Heart—A Supreme Treasure nurtured by Yu Zi Yu, essentially his second life, filled with boundless vitality.

With Yu Zi Yu’s advancement to Tier-6, this Supreme Treasure treasure had also reached Tier-6 in terms of quality.

Among its many abilities, what made it a true Supreme Treasure was its ability to bring the dead back to life. It could revive any lifeform below Tier-6, as long as their Soul remained.

Each resurrection only drained a large portion of the Tree Heart’s energy, which could still be restored over time.

However, now, this priceless Tree Heart transformed into a streak of green light, shooting straight towards Tundra.

*Whoosh…* Zooming through space, it instantly arrived before Tundra, and the moment it came in contact with Tundra’s body, it dissolved instantly, erupting with a dazzling green glow, as radiant as a star.

At the same time, one could faintly sense an endless vitality surging through Tundra’s body.

“Tundra, today I bestow upon you a second life with this Tier-6 treasure… cherish it well…”

Yu Zi Yu’s grand voice reverberated through the void, with the Tree Heart slowly emerging within Tundra’s chest.

*Thump, thump, thump…* A series of powerful heartbeats echoed as the green heart formed with the Tree Heart intertwined with the blood of the Titan Clan, pulsing together.
