Chapter 261: Nourishing All Beings, a World-Shaking Phenomenon
"This is unbelievable! My soul power… it's showing signs of breakthrough under this energy's nourishment!"
Elder Zhuang's voice trembled with excitement.
Yan Shaozhe could also feel the overwhelming soul power surging through his body. "The Golden Tree's upgrade has brought unimaginable benefits. With this life origin energy feeding us, Shrek Academy is destined to rise to a whole new peak."
Mu En smiled faintly. "This is only the beginning. The Golden Tree has evolved into a true Divine Tree. The life origin power it contains is endless. From now on, Shrek Academy's cultivation environment will be more favorable than ever before. The students' training speed and innate talent will also increase dramatically."
Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and the others approached the Sea God Pavilion.
When they saw the radiant Golden Tree glowing with resplendent light and vast, divine aura, everyone was awestruck.
"So this is the upgraded Golden Tree? It's magnificent!"
Beibei exclaimed, his eyes glittering with excitement.
Xu Sanshi was equally stunned. "This aura… it's stronger than any soul beast I've ever encountered. It feels like a god itself."
Huo Yuhao focused his spiritual sense, perceiving the immense sea of life origin energy pulsing within the Golden Tree.
That power was pure and warm—both creative and protective in nature.
At that moment, even the Ice Empress, the Skydream Iceworm, and Electrolux within Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea were startled by this power.
"What an incredibly strong source of life energy!" The Ice Empress's voice resounded in his mind, filled with astonishment.
"This energy is purer and vaster than even what our Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion clan possesses."
The Skydream Iceworm sighed. "Life origin power is among the rarest and purest forces in existence. It is the foundation of all things—it nourishes the soul, enhances talent, heals wounds, even reverses aging."
"To find such a massive concentration of life power… it's unheard of. What happened to this Golden Tree?"
Electrolux explained, "The value of life origin power is beyond measure. Even in my world, it was one of the rarest divine substances. Normally, only primordial god-trees that have existed for millions of years can harbor such immense vitality."
"The fact that this Golden Tree evolved to this degree after absorbing the Origin Heart—it's nothing short of a miracle."
Huo Yuhao was deeply moved. He had not imagined that such a warm, gentle power could be so precious.
Staring at the Golden Tree shining with divine light, he felt both gratitude and awe in his heart.
It was thanks to Shrek Academy and this tree that they had such an extraordinary environment for cultivation.
But the vision brought by the Golden Tree's evolution did not remain confined to Shrek Academy.
The golden beam that pierced the heavens, and the life origin power spreading outward, soon attracted the attention of the entire Douluo Continent.
Across the land—from bustling cities to remote villages—people saw the golden pillar in the sky and felt that warm, indescribable energy.
Seasoned soul masters lifted their heads toward Shrek Academy's direction, shock and confusion in their eyes.
"What is this power? Such pure life energy!"
"It's coming from Shrek's direction… did something incredible happen there?"
"This force… it's too overwhelming!"
…
In the core region of the Star Dou Forest, within a grand cavern brimming with ancient, regal aura, Gu Yuena sat cross-legged in cultivation.
When the vast wave of life origin power swept through the forest, her eyes snapped open, a glimmer of curiosity flashing in them.
She could immediately sense how pure and immense the life power was—there was even a faint trace of divinity within it.
The energy felt both familiar and foreign to her.
Familiar for its essence of life.
Strange for its divine purity and magnitude.
"This aura… divine energy?"
Gu Yuena muttered softly, her voice tinged with disbelief.
"Such potent life origin power… could it be that a new divine tree has been born? And its source… is Shrek Academy?"
As the ruler of the Star Dou Forest and a being on the verge of godhood, Gu Yuena's sensitivity toward life energy was unparalleled.
She could feel the life essence subtly influencing the balance of all life across the continent.
The vitality of the land and living beings grew more vibrant under its touch.
"Shrek Academy…"
A serious expression crossed her face. She knew this phenomenon would surely reshape the very balance of the world.
"My lady," said Di Tian beside her, his tone heavy with awe, "I suspect Shrek Academy used the Origin Heart to elevate the Golden Tree into a Divine Tree."
The other ferocious beasts were equally stunned by the spectacle that now enveloped the continent.
Their reasoning aligned: the cause of this great upheaval was none other than the Origin Heart that had appeared at the auction.
Gu Yuena did not respond immediately; her gaze simply drifted across the horizon, filled with silent thought.
…
Meanwhile, at the Star Auction Pavilion, Jiang Li stood before a tall window, gazing toward Shrek Academy.
When the column of golden light pierced the heavens and the life origin waves rolled outward, his calm composure finally cracked.
In its place appeared astonishment.
His divine sense was immense—he could clearly feel the terrifying magnitude of that life origin energy far better than anyone else.
He could even faintly perceive that the Golden Tree, after consuming the Origin Heart, had undergone a complete transformation—becoming a true Divine Tree.
"It actually worked…" Jiang Li murmured, his expression growing complex. "After absorbing the Origin Heart, the Golden Tree evolved to such an extent… this brief surge of life origin power has already reached divine-level intensity."
He had thought the Origin Heart would only enhance the Golden Tree's vitality.
Never had he imagined it would transform it outright into a Divine Tree, emanating such overwhelming divine energy.
But he also knew this vast life force could only escape during the process of evolution.
Once the upgrade was complete, even if the tree released its power again, it could never reach this level.
Jiang Li's gaze turned deep as he looked toward Shrek Academy's direction, emotion flickering in his eyes.
He couldn't help but wonder what kind of future this evolved Golden Tree would bring to the Douluo Continent.
