Chapter 863: The Rebirth of the Divine Body
Tang San stood beneath the tree, his body also turning a crystalline blue. Vaguely, streams of black and white energy could be seen swirling within him.
If they relied only on their divine consciousness to sense what was going on, the elders felt that Tang San had merged completely with the Ancestral Tree, becoming indistinguishable from it. Their divine sense could no longer tell where the Ancestral Tree ended and where Tang San began.
"The Ancestral Tree... has awakened?" an elder said in a trembling voice before kneeling and bowing down in the direction of the Ancestral Tree.
With the first came the second, and soon, all the elders, without exception, knelt toward the Ancestral Tree. Even the Grand Elder. The Blue Gold Tree clan was born because of the Ancestral Tree. The Ancestral Tree was the core and foundation of their entire existence; without it, everything would lose its meaning. They all owed it the utmost respect.
According to records passed down by the clan, the Ancestral Tree at its peak had precisely this appearance, and the description in the records had turned into a phrase known to every member of the clan—"blue trunk and golden leaves."
At this very moment, the trunk and branches of the Ancestral Tree had taken on the appearance of blue crystal, exactly as depicted in the ancient records. The leaves of the tree were still a vibrant green, but this intense green color was due to the overwhelming concentration of life energy. Drops of green liquid constantly fell from the leaves, transforming into life-giving moisture that merged into the air, drifting far into the distance. And as the green flickered away, the leaves slowly revealed a golden glow.
This was a form of the Ancestral Tree that hadn't appeared for countless years, long enough that it had practically become the object of myths and legends. Seeing it now, the elders' first thought was that the Ancestral Tree had awakened. They were aware that the Ancestral Tree's consciousness had spread across the planet, and they believed that it would never return. Yet now, it seemed to be awakening!
No matter what personal ambitions the Grand Elder had, in the face of such a scene, he dared not resist in the slightest. Otherwise, he would become the enemy of the entire Blue Gold Tree clan.
Tang San slowly opened his eyes, his heart filled with a sense of wonder.
