'My sweet baby boy, please don't do anything you can't handle.' Thought Lang Yue with an inward sigh.
She knew she couldn't ask him to not do anything dangerous, as her son had an incredible knack for finding himself in danger.
'Seriously, how is he fighting Gods one after another! Didn't they disappear thousands of years ago?! Is this the curse of him being the son of one?'
"Thinking of Wulin again?"
"What gave it away...?"
"Well, you always have that look that is mixed between concern and disbelief whenever it's about Wulin." Said Mu Bao'er with a faint smile causing Lang Yue to lower her head.
Mu Bao'er only chuckled but before she could say anything they heard multiple voices rang out.
"Oh... Lang Yue!"
This caused both Lang Yu and Mu Bao'er to turn their heads to see Mu Yiyi and Qin Yun all waving their hand as they approached.
"Yiyi! Yun! Quickly come and join us."Said Lang Yue with a huge smile as she began waving at them too.
Mu Bao'er smile became bigger, she was also delighted two of her new friends that she made in the last few months were joining them.
Not only that but they were also the parents of the girls who were dating the same boy.
'Talk about irony, what an odd development this.' Thought Mu Bao'er as she stood up to greet them.

"Mam, we are close to being done with the renovation of Tenrou City. It will only take a month more to fully finish."Said the leader of the Workers who was overseeing the renovation.
"Good, once you are done with that. Then you may begin with the next city, the others themselves have already started."Said Gu Yuena as she nodded toward the worker.
"R-Right, thank you mam! We will get right on it."Said the man with a blush on his face, trying not to get lost in Gu Yuena's beauty.
Gu Yuena didn't say anything else as her eyes were roaming through the reports that were on her desk.
In addition to her Soul Device, her hands were writing down some things, involving the army and renovation.
Seeing he wasn't needed anymore, the man rapidly took his leave. As he was about to open the door, it opened up and revealed Mu Ye who was coming in with a stack of paper.
"Sir!"
"Hahaha, it's fine." Said Mu Ye with a nod of his head as he let the man pass before moving towards Gu Yuena.
"...I must say, your work ethics leaves me in disbelief every time I see you. No wonder he made you his Chief of Staff."
"The others aren't incompetent... It's just we don't have time to make any mistakes or failures." Said Gu Yuena, causing Mu Ye to nod his head.
It wasn't wrong to say they were in a rush to push their empire to the same heights as the Star Luo and Federation.
"Not only that but we are trying our best to help elevate some of the burdens from Wulin."
"You notice it too?"
"How could we not? Just the fact he rarely rests is evident enough. Then there is the fact he is constantly thinking of the future and planning." Said Gu Yuena with a frown.
"I tried telling him to rest, but the words would die in my throat when I see his look."
"That look of determination?"
"Yes, I am unsure what he is determined about, but I am starting to think he doesn't see what we see. It's as if Tang Wulin is working towards a future none can see."Muttered Mu Ye before glancing Gu Yuena.
Gu Yuena didn't say anything as she knew how many things Wulin was trying and had to do.
If building up an empire and trying to bring together two races wasn't bad enough.
He was planning on invading the abyssal plane with some of the peak Soul Masters of the world.
She wanted to come with him, but Qiangu Dongfeng and Yun Ming told them it's better if they stay.
As during their absence, they will be able to fully prove themselves as master's and inherit the positions.
Initially, she wanted to refuse, but Tang Wulin shaked his head and said they needed to inherit the position.
Then he said she would know if something is wrong with him, as their connection with each other would let her know.
"Have you seen him by any chance? I want to ask him about his revised army training."
"You can ask me; he already told me all of his plans for the Empire and wanted me to manage it in his stead."
"Is he busy right now?"
"He said he needed to go do an errand and will be back later. Although he didn't say how long it will take." Said Gu Yuena, causing Mu Ye to nod his head.
"Alright well here is my question."
#
On an unknown Island, that was covered with mountains and hills.
"We will be doing it here?" Questioned Tang Wulin has found himself in the deepest part of the mountains.
"Yes, right here is secluded so no one will be able to disturb you, and also I can see a vast amount of life energy here. This will be beneficial for you if anything unexpected happens."Said Yggdrasil as she stared at Tang Wulin,
It took them a while to find this place, as they needed to pick a place that Yggdrasil approved.
It was only this Island after the thousands they visited, that got Yggdrasil approval.
Yet Tang Wulin couldn't complain as he knew what he was going to do was nothing less than near-suicide.
It was so dangerous Yggdrasil wasn't playing around and was staring at him with a gaze.
Befitting of a person who has existed for billions of years, a person who could see countless possibilities.
"Alright, get into a lotus position, take off your upper-garments and we will start." Said Yggdrasil causing Tang Wulin to nod his head.
As he began moving his body down, leaving his coat and shit to the side before crossing his leg and waiting for Yggdrasil.
"Remember the path you are about to walk is filled with danger at every corner... Once you begin this path, there is no walking back or stopping. You will not be competing with the world but the universal law."
"If you succeed, then you will become something terrifying but if you fail... Not even your soul will remain."Said Yggdrasil with her tone being absolutely serious.
She did not sugar-coat her words to Tang Wulin or give him any false sense of hope, as this was his life.
"I know, but this is the path I will walk." Said Tang Wulin as his eyes shined with a myriad of colors.
Was this, not what he did before? Walk the path of the Dragon Slayer and become something unseen before?
Was it not this path that allowed him to dominate the world?
It's because of this that Tang Wulin knew he could only dominate the world by walking and trusting his instincts.
And it was telling him, this was the only path for him!
"...Alright, with let's begin."Said Yggdrasil with a sigh before she placed her hand on Tang Wulin chest.
Then her eyes erupted in pinkish-blue with a hint of green-gold with the same color spreading around Tang Wulin's body.
Tang Wulin's figure trembles as he was forced to close his eyes, as he was brought into his inner world.
There below him, he saw a plant that was sprouting out from a small seed, spreading its vines all around.
Tang Wulin could feel there was a mysterious wave of power that moved all around, he could feel the laws and elements swirling around.
"So, this is the beginning process..."
Tang Wulin watched as the roots began expanding all over, forming heaven and earth in the area he was.
No, to be more exact it seems it was forming a gigantic void filled with luxuriant vines.
Energy began to spread, the divine aura here was interweaving with the heaven and earth in his body.
It was then the vines began moving towards him, gently wrapping him and pulling him towards the center of the void.
"Sit down and begin absorbing the refined Immortal Qi around, you will need to move the qi through your cells." Yggdrasil's voice rang out causing Tang Wulin to tremble before he nodded his head.
As he sat down and with a sigh as the vines began wrapping around his figure.
Before then he was then submerged from the laws and natural elements that were surging around him.
"Remember, you must treat your body... No, your existence is like a seed that is being nourished by the natural elements and laws, wishing to grow organically into a Divine Realm."Yggdrasil's voice rang out once again.
Yet Tang Wulin didn't show any signs he heard Yggdrasil as he found himself in a remarkable state.
It was similar to sitting under a cascading waterfall but instead of water gently pouring over you, it was the elements and laws.
There was no noise but at the same time their ancient chanting, as if countless people were preaching around him. All of them were kowtowing around Tang Wulin as if he was a god, an existence that was walking the path of the divines.
All around Tang Wulin were countless golden lights that were swirling, twisting, and revolving around him.
As well as interlocking and divine chains that move around his figure.
Tang Wulin felt his mind changing; it was similar to when he gained inspiration for his Forbidden Technique.
His mind was in a limitless state, gaining countless insight.
Similar to what Yggdrasil said, he was like a seed that was nourished by the natural elements and laws.
Being given light by the divine energy that was leaking from the vines, feeling himself grow and change.
He felt his mind being replenished and changing, his cells were evolving down to the last atom.
With his soul being reforged, strange runes began to be engraved on it as well as the laws themselves.
Tang Wulin could feel it. He was now at the distinct beginning of this unknown and never walked path.
He knew if he continued this, he would be undergoing evolution on a biological level and breaking the notion of a god.
One has to remember a God could only be considered an immortal through their God's Position and the Immortal Qi.
Except for a few beings like the Golden Dragon King, Silver Dragon King, and Dragon God.
With this path, Tang Wulin felt he would be able to coexist with heaven and earth, becoming an undying being.
One who could live forever, even without a God Position!
Yet Tang Wulin didn't want to coexist, he wishes to look down on heaven and earth!
He wished to resist it and be unbound to it!
'My body is a treasure, one with infinite potential... One that could be everything and nothing...'
Tang Wulin felt his body being baptized by the divine chains that were increasing by the second.
But Tang Wulin didn't merely have them coil around him.
No, he began having them gradually enter his body, chains after chain, law after law, elements after element.
They all began entering his body, natural laws and natural elements were entering his body.
If any god was to see this, they would be shocked and in disbelief.
Not because Tang Wulin was absorbing the laws or natural elements but because he was doing this as a mortal!
This was no different than stealing for the heavens! Only those who have become divine and have a God's Position had the right to absorb the gifts of heaven.
It wasn't wrong to say if one tried to do this, they would normally end up dead or gaining the rage of the plane.
Yet Tang Wulin was being protected and hidden from the world by Yggdrasil who was using her old body.
As she knew the beginning would be very important to Tang Wulin and he couldn't be disturbed right now.
