The Heart of Eternity

Chapter 949 The Heart of Eternity

After a long period of world evolution, the world created by the World Tree has reached its peak.

Within the Boundary Sea, war, civilization—everything was in motion, making this primordial world incredibly vibrant.

But in a place unknown to anyone, on the edge of the boundary sea, chaos is also creeping in.

After the Boundary Sea expanded to its limit, the power of the World Tree disappeared, and then the power of chaos once again took over, beginning to erode the entire Boundary Sea.

This process is very, very slow, but it is indeed happening.

After an unimaginably long period of time, the entire Boundary Sea was destroyed.

Everything it contained vanished in oblivion.

Then, everything from the beginning happened again.

Inside the passage, Adir clearly saw that after the entire Boundary Sea was destroyed, the power of the World Tree reappeared.

In the chaos, the World Tree reappeared, and thus emerged from the chaos.

After absorbing the essence that had been nurtured by a vast sea for countless years, his power became even stronger and more terrifying.

This was an inevitable outcome.

Over countless years, the Boundary Sea has nurtured a vast number of powerful beings, including not only saints but also more than one supreme expert at the eighth rank.

These powerful individuals all left their mark on this Boundary Sea.

When the world is destroyed, all traces and mysteries of the past will return to the original ancestral body and be reborn on the World Tree.

After acquiring these, the power of the World Tree also increased, and it was slowly growing.

Then, the same process repeated itself.

The power of the World Tree once again enveloped the chaos, and a brand new Boundary Sea was opened up, recreating the scene from the beginning.

This time, due to its greater power, the World Tree's creation of the Boundary Sea is even more powerful and complete than before, capable of enduring for a longer period and nurturing more powerful beings.

This is a cycle that repeats itself time and time again.

Whenever the world is destroyed, the World Tree will reappear and create a new world.

As new worlds emerge, they grow stronger with each passing year, but under the erosion of chaos, they will eventually disappear and return to the World Tree.

In this process, the power of the World Tree continues to grow, and it becomes increasingly powerful.

Upon seeing this, Adir suddenly realized something.

Judging from this, the boundary sea they are in was not born by accident, but rather the result of the World Tree's cultivation.

The entire Boundary Sea is the training ground for the World Tree.

When the boundary sea opened up, the world was born, and living beings continued to multiply, then continued to advance and grow.

The entire process is the process of the World Tree's progress.

The opening and destruction of the Boundary Seas is the journey of the World Tree's continuous growth.

This time, it's probably no surprise.

Thinking of this, Adir couldn't help but sigh softly, his mind filled with many thoughts.

For the original World Tree, none of this mattered.

He created the world, giving life within it the opportunity to emerge. However, this world is not eternal. When the time comes, everything belonging to this world will be destroyed and return to the World Tree.

For ordinary people, it's nothing.

In terms of their lives, they simply wouldn't live to see that day.

Even for most saints, it doesn't matter.

Although a divine lifespan is infinite, unexpected events can still occur over the long course of time.

It is simply impossible to live to see the day the Boundary Sea is destroyed.

Only the strongest can truly witness that day.

For the strongest, they are only one step away from true eternity.

Within the world, no one can kill them. Even the strongest beings of equal strength can only seal them away, but are powerless to kill them.

In this situation, the only thing that could pose a threat to them is the destruction of the Boundary Sea.

When the Boundary Sea is destroyed and chaos encroaches once more, even the strongest beings, having lost the protection of the Boundary Sea, cannot endure for long in the chaos. They will be eroded by the chaos and eventually return to the World Tree.

For those who are the strongest, this outcome is naturally unacceptable.

The same applies to Adir.

That's why generations of supreme beings have pursued eternity so earnestly, coming into this world one by one.

Silently, Adir let out a sigh.

He walked this long road and arrived at the final destination.

At the finish line, he saw something.

It was an ancient tree, not very tall, but it looked very old, with many leaves fallen, indicating that it had entered its twilight years.

If you look closely, you can see that those withered leaves are none other than tiny worlds on the verge of destruction.

Every moment, countless leaves fall, and new leaves grow out.

However, from Adir's observation, the rate at which the leaves grew seemed to be far slower than the rate at which they detached.

The difference between the two is enormous.

If this continues, after a certain amount of time, all the leaves will eventually disappear.

Standing quietly in place, Adir looked ahead and immediately discovered the true nature of this ancient tree.

It is none other than the origin of the World Tree, and the core of this Boundary Sea.

This is the Eternal Heart left behind after the World Tree fell.

The appearance it manifests at this moment symbolizes the current state of the Boundary Sea.

At this moment, the World Tree's Eternal Heart manifested as an old tree, signifying that the entire Boundary Sea had entered its twilight years, and the worlds being born every moment could no longer compare to the worlds being destroyed.

The world has entered a state and trend of reduction.

If this trend continues, many years later, the Boundary Sea will completely wither and enter into destruction.

Gazing at this scene, Adir fell silent for a moment, then reached out his hand and tentatively moved forward.

The final result was exactly as he expected.

As he walked forward, the old book trembled slightly, but nothing happened in the end.

The power rippled around for a moment, but it did not hinder Adir's progress, allowing him to enter calmly and stand before the Heart of Eternity.

In Adir's view, this matter was of great significance.

"There was absolutely no resistance."

Standing before the Heart of Eternity, feeling the power that enveloped and lingered around him, Adir remained calm and murmured to himself.

This is not in accordance with common sense.

According to his previous postponement, under normal circumstances, any normal person who wants to get close to this Eternal Heart would inevitably have to face the repulsion of the World Tree and even the entire Boundary Sea, which is equivalent to having to fight against the combined power of the entire Boundary Sea and the World Tree with their own strength.

This is something no one could possibly do.

Therefore, just now, Adir had already prepared himself for being expelled.

But in the end, nothing happened.

Everything was perfectly calm, and nothing happened.

It looked incredibly natural, as if it were a matter of course.

The implications of this are enough to leave one speechless.

Standing before the old tree, Adir's face was calm, and in the blink of an eye, many thoughts came to mind.

Time passed slowly, and before anyone knew it, a sense of closeness washed over Adir, enveloping his entire body.

Then, Adir smiled.

"That's enough."

Standing there, he chuckled softly, then said gently, "No matter how you look at it, it's a good thing."

He looked ahead and spoke softly.

As he spoke, he reached out his hand silently toward the old tree.

As expected, as Adir reached out his hand, there was no rejection from the old tree in front of him, only a pure sense of closeness.

A surge of pure intimacy welled up within Adir's body.

Before him, the power of the old tree surged forth continuously, and new power flowed rapidly into Adir's body through the Heart of Eternity.

The whole process was incredibly natural, just like when Adir used his special ability to absorb the power of the Worldstone.

However, compared to before, the power he felt at this moment was much more terrifying.

Almost instantly, within his body, the power that had been stagnant began to grow again. An incomparably terrifying power surged forth, growing at an incredibly rapid and unimaginable speed.

There were absolutely no obstacles.

The moment Adir came into contact with the Eternal Heart, he was about to break through that barrier and directly reach the Eternal Realm from the eighth-order limit.

The whole process went incredibly smoothly, which was unbelievable.

Despite sensing all this, Adir felt little joy, and simply sighed softly.

"really."

By this time, he had realized everything.

Clearly, what he possesses is not just a fraction of the World Tree's power.

In fact, he is very likely the core of the World Tree.

The mark belonging to the World Tree within his body is proof of this.

That is why he was able to come into contact with the Heart of Eternity at this moment, and even directly absorb the power within the Heart of Eternity, thereby breaking through the original barrier and directly transforming into Eternity.

This process would have been impossible if he himself were not the World Tree.

The Eternal Heart is something that not everyone can use.

The Eternal Heart belonging to the World Tree can only serve as a reference for others; it's impossible for them to directly absorb its power like Adir could.

The surrounding forces reacted in the same way.

From the moment he arrived until now, Adir had never felt any rejection from the World Tree's power; all he could feel was a pure sense of closeness.

All of this is enough to say something.

Adir is clearly the embodiment of the World Tree, and nothing else.

The power within his body was rapidly increasing, and he was advancing at an unimaginable speed.

At this rate, it won't be long before Adir is able to advance directly to the level of eternity.

But at this point, Adir stopped.

Standing there, he silently turned around and looked behind him.

"How much longer do you intend to keep watching?"

The countdown to the end is on! There should be one or two more chapters left before it's finished.

I will try my best to update every day at midnight so you don't have to wait too long.
