Chapter 188: The Will of All Beings, The Promotion of the World Tree
In the blink of an eye, another million years had passed. The Chaos Coin had become increasingly widespread, permeating every aspect of the Chaos World. Even if other gods were reluctant to use it, they could not resist the inevitable tide of fate.
Some attempted to create their own currencies, but none could gain recognition. The Chaos Coin alone had ascended to the position of the universal equivalent, the singular currency acknowledged by all.
At this moment, deep within the space of the Chaos Orb, the World Tree, in the form of a young Loli, was diligently focused on restoring her leaves when she suddenly sensed an unimaginable force emerging from the void.
"What... what is this?!"
Her eyes widened in astonishment. Within the depths of her consciousness, she discovered a radiant cluster of golden light, emanating boundless energy.
It bore a striking resemblance to the legendary Light of Merit.
When Gu Chuan created the Chaos Coin, he had naturally received the majority of the merit. However, the World Tree, which had provided the raw materials for its creation, was not forgotten by the Source of Chaos. Recognizing her contribution, it bestowed upon her a share of the Light of Merit, which instantly fused into the depths of her sea of consciousness.
To Gu Chuan, this fraction of merit was insignificant. But to the World Tree—who had yet to attain enlightenment—it was an unfathomable gift.
"The Light of Merit... It really is the Light of Merit! I never imagined that I, the great World Tree, would one day receive such a blessing. Truly, I am the favored child of destiny!"
With hands on her hips, she burst into laughter, brimming with pride. Though she had no idea how she had obtained this divine radiance, that hardly mattered—she was basking in her own greatness.
Yet, the merit was not the only gift she received. A vast surge of void energy poured into her being, saturating every leaf, every branch, every root.
