Rise to God with Life Skill Professions

Chapter 658 - 596: Obtaining the Golden Origin (2)

She hadn’t expected Qin An to actually succeed.

Moreover, Qin An was clever enough to use killing intent to pave the way and break through obstacles.

But now is not the time to think about these things.

The success is a good thing, and now it’s time to seize the opportunity and absorb this Golden Origin first.

Qin An nodded slightly, without any nonsense, raised his hand and pressed it on the Golden Origin.

The Golden Origin, which was originally constantly vibrating, quickly disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, transforming into endless Origin Power, which transmitted into Qin An’s body.

Qin An only felt a burst of pain all over his body, as if thousands of knives were scraping over him.

Yet the power of the Golden Origin did not wait for any reaction from him and charged through his body, thoroughly repairing the previous injuries.

The repair was done, but the pain was still present.

And the Void Essence within Qin An’s body was visibly changing.

Every strand of Void Essence was linked with endless Power of Attack, as if nothing could not be broken.

After a long time, the pain disappeared, and Qin An finally opened his eyes.

"It really hurts."

Qin An exhaled deeply, wiped the bright red bloodstain from the corner of his mouth, and with a flicker of his body, he landed steadily on the ground.

At this moment, the giant tree behind closed its cracks, and the look of pain on its face also faded away.

He gazed at Qin An with a complicated expression, and after a long time, he said softly, "Thank you, young friend."

At this moment, the gold on the trunk disappeared completely, restoring the tree to its original color.

This indicated that the giant tree had returned to normal.

In fact, the giant tree never expected that one day it could truly escape suffering.

But today, this young man in front of him made him completely free from past pain.

He had developed a new view of the young man in front of him.

So strong, yet so brave.

Even able to find the most suitable method of breaking through in the most critical moments.

This person will surely ascend to the pinnacle of the world in the future.

Qin An shook his head and said indifferently, "It’s all just a transaction."

He didn’t know what the giant tree was thinking, but in his view, it was all a transaction.

He obtained the Golden Origin from the giant tree, and the giant tree was thoroughly liberated because of him.

Therefore, there was no need for thanks between the two.

The giant tree withdrew its branches, said no more, and changed the topic, "If you come to the Reincarnation Forbidden Area in the future, feel free to visit the Nine-Layered Tower. I have now returned to normal, and now the entire Nine-Layered Tower is under my control."

Qin An nodded slightly.

He said nothing more and planned to leave the Reincarnation Forbidden Area.

As for whether he would return, that was a matter for the future.

Now that the task is completed and the Golden Origin is obtained, he plans to return quickly, cultivate the remaining occupational proficiency to the next level, and deduce all cultivation techniques to the initial communication of the Tripod Aspiration Realm.

By then, he will have completely compensated for all shortcomings and no longer worried about cultivation techniques holding him back.

With this thought, Qin An prepared to leave.

But at that moment, the sound of Reincarnation rang out.

"I have a question to ask the giant tree."

Reincarnation transformed into her original form, softly parted her red lips, and said, "Why are you in this Nine-Layered Tower? Logically, wood attributes cannot grow so vigorously in the Nine-Layered Tower."

Although she had developed consciousness, this giant tree existed for countless years before she gained consciousness.

Therefore, even Reincarnation was unclear why the giant tree was here.

The giant tree paused slightly and then shook its branches, showing a hint of nostalgia on its face, "I was planted here by someone."

"Planted by someone?"

As soon as the words were spoken, even Qin An stopped his steps, showing a puzzled expression.

There was originally a Golden Origin here, and if someone really planted a giant tree here, allowing it to grow so large, who exactly was that person?

Reincarnation was also curious and directly asked.

The giant tree shook its branches, recalling, "It was someone whose identity I do not know. He was very strong, strong to the point that even I felt fear."

"And upon his appearance, even the betrayers of these Forbidden Areas respectfully bowed."

"I heard them say he was some Celestial Demon Envoy, but what his specific identity was, I wasn’t sure, because since I was planted here, I’ve never left this Nine-Layered Tower."

Celestial Demon Envoy?

Qin An raised his eyebrows slightly, having gleaned some clues.

The opponent might be a betrayer too, and stronger than typical ones.

As for why to plant a giant tree here, that was unclear to him.

Reincarnation had no other questions, as the giant tree knew limited things.

Seeing Reincarnation silent, Qin An didn’t dally and bid farewell to the giant tree before leaving the Nine-Layered Tower, heading toward the outside of the Reincarnation Forbidden Area.

He intended to return to the main hall and continue cultivating his occupational proficiency.

Soon, the Nine-Layered Tower returned to tranquility.

...

After Qin An left the Reincarnation Forbidden Area, it wasn’t long before the peace was shattered.

A figure crossed the void and slowly came to the Nine-Layered Tower.

At that time, the giant tree was stretching its branches, appearing quite content.

And upon this figure’s arrival, the giant tree suddenly froze as if it had turned into wood.

The giant face was full of terror as if seeing the most terrifying thing ever.

The giant tree trembled with all its branches and leaves, lying on the ground.

Even the face on the trunk suddenly lowered, not daring to gaze at the figure ahead.

The figure gradually became clear, then transformed into a young man dressed in black.

The man wore black clothes but had an exceptionally handsome appearance, with features as if carved with a knife.

Especially those eyes, exuding a dignified aura, making one feel chills with just a glance.

Upon seeing the giant tree, the man stepped forward leisurely, reached out, and placed his hand on the trunk.

"Very good, you could escape the danger of Golden Origin, and even restore your original appearance."

The giant tree trembled and said, "Sir, please spare my life."

The man in black shook his head slightly, "Your life is yours. Why ask me to spare it?"

The giant tree said again, "Everything I have is given by you, and you planted me here, gave me intelligence, granted me life. Therefore, my life belongs to you."

The man in black sneered, "As the Celestial Demon Envoy, I was ordered to plant you here because Lord Celestial Demon spent immense Heart Power to predict that the betrayers would face this calamity. You are the last barrier to slay this Savior, yet you chose to ally with the Savior."

The giant tree lowered its head and said, "But I didn’t know who the Savior was. If I had known, if I knew I had to deal with him, I would never have allied with him."

The Celestial Demon Envoy slightly shook his head, "Lord said not to tell you the truth, because some things are very profound, and telling you might ruin them. But in the end, you failed to complete Lord Celestial Demon’s task."

The giant tree still trembled, "Sir, spare me, give me another chance, if Qin An comes to this Nine-Layered Tower again, I will surely cut him down completely."

"It’s too late, no more chances." The Celestial Demon Envoy shook his head, "You have already failed. For Lord Celestial Demon, failure means you have no use at all. Many in this world are subjugated under Lord Celestial Demon’s feet; he does not lack you."

Upon these words, the giant tree, formerly in a submissive posture, suddenly raise all its branches.

Both branches and leaves attacked the Celestial Demon Envoy.

Though the Golden Origin was gone, his wood attribute was extreme, and his terrifying might seemed even more fierce than before.

Yet the Celestial Demon Envoy appeared unaware, raising his hand to point at the giant tree.
