After collecting the seed of the Sweet Osmanthus Tree, Yu Zi Yu remained silent.
Everything was understood without words.
He saw everything Ling Er did for him.
In the future, if there was a chance, he would repay her in another way. [But for now…]
“Master, why don’t you take action?” While asking in a gentle voice, Ling Er had already arrived at Yu Zi Yu’s canopy, sitting on a branch, dangling her slender feet, looking interestedly at the Moon in the dark sky.
“Take action…” Yu Zi Yu muttered to himself. He naturally understood Ling Er’s meaning.
“Now is not the time,” saying so, Yu Zi Yu also looked at the night sky, sighing, “With my current strength, I can suppress the entire continent and plunder all its resources. However, in doing so, I would turn this continent into a dead land, devoid of any life.”
At this point, Yu Zi Yu sighed again, and added, “It’s unwise to kill the chicken to get the eggs!”
“Indeed.” Nodding, Ling Er also acknowledged this fact.
However, after a moment, as if confirming something, Ling Er asked again, “Master, are you raising pigs? Fattening up the pigs before slaughtering them, just like the Humans…”
“Um…” Yu Zi Yu was momentarily surprised. However, the next moment, he shook his head, denying, “It shouldn’t be called raising pigs, but rather waiting.”
“Waiting!?” Puzzling, a hint of confusion appeared on Ling Er’s face.
“The world has not truly matured yet. You have to understand, a powerful world will give birth to powerful individuals. Without a truly powerful world, it’s difficult to sustain a genuine powerhouse. Currently, the Spiritual Energy is still miniscule, the world is still fragile. It’s hard to produce Tier-4, Tier-5, and even Tier-6 Transcendents. If I were to slaughter those hopeful Tier-3 Transcendents, this world would be completely ruined.”
“If I did so, even if I break through to Tier-5 with a massive amount of resources, Tier-6 would still be out of reach. More importantly, killing a hundred Tier-3 Transcendents now is not worth as much as a Tier-4 Transcendent in the future. So, you should be able to understand why I’m waiting.”
After calmly listening to Yu Zi Yu’s explanation, a look of realization flashed in Ling Er’s eyes. “Master, you’re waiting for those guys to grow up.”
“Yes,” confirming with a nod, Yu Zi Yu confessed, “More accurately, I’m waiting for the arrival of the Third Spiritual Energy Tide. By then, this world will also grow, until it can sustain even more terrifying powerhouses. Now, it’s not that I’m not growing, but it’s that this world doesn’t allow me to grow.”
At this point, Yu Zi Yu’s main body suddenly shook, before a blood-red eye unexpectedly opened on Yu Zi Yu’s trunk, much to Ling Er’s astonishment.
At the same time, a world different from what ordinary people saw also entered Yu Zi Yu’s sight: The air was filled with colorful specks of Spiritual Energy. The sky appeared to be rising, and the ground appeared to be sinking.
This world, the Planet Earth, was growing at a speed visible to Yu Zi Yu’s naked eye.
This was the world of Yu Zi Yu’s Heavenly Eye, which allowed him to clearly capture the trajectory of the world’s growth.
At the same time, Yu Zi Yu, through the Heavenly Eye, also spotted an unprecedented surge of Spiritual Energy rushing from the depths of the universe towards this world.
“Twenty days left…” A whisper escaped Yu Zi Yu’s lips as a hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes.
“Twenty days…” Emphasizing once again, Ling Er also followed Yu Zi Yu’s gaze and looked towards the depths of the universe. “It’s the Third Spiritual Energy Tide, right…”
“Yes,” confirming with a nod, Yu Zi Yu also smiled and reassured, “Don’t worry. This world has long been under my control. Now, the most important thing is to make the whole world come alive. Truly come alive. Let powerful Transcendents be born after another like bamboo shoots after the rain. Only when more strong individuals are born in this world can it grow faster. And then, I will have the hope of stepping into the Eternal Realm that everyone dreams of…”
…
It had been a long time since Yu Zi Yu had talked to someone like this. He no longer concealed his ambitions.
Whether it was a Tier-4 Transcendent, or Tier-5, it held no difference to him. In his opinion, they were just slightly more powerful ants.
Only after hearing Golden Monkey’s description of the previous glorious era did Yu Zi Yu came to know that only the Tier-7 Hegemons and the Eternal Realm Transcendents of Tier-8 could be called true Great Sages.
Unless one had reached Tier-7, they were ultimately an ant.
He was just lucky and good at managing things, which allowed him to seize the initiative in the Early Era of Spiritual Energy. However, there was more than just one world. As such, before he could truly travel through space, he had to properly guard and manage this one world.
In addition, not only every living and non-living thing was evolving, but even the world itself was evolving.
The evolution of the world was closely related to the evolution of all things. The reason was simple, everything, living and non-living, were a part of this world. When all things became powerful, the world would become powerful.
While the world nurtured strong individuals, the strong individuals would also imprint their comprehension into the world.
This was why the peak Tier-4 Transcendents could alter their surroundings and establish an ecosystem with themselves as the apex. It was because their understanding of the world was so terrifying that it affected the growth of this world.
Just like the current Yu Zi Yu, his roots had penetrated through half of the planet, with his vast root system extensively spread through the depths. If he didn’t constantly suppress himself, his mere existence would affect half of the continent, thereby establishing an ecosystem with Yu Zi Yu as the apex. It would ultimately restrict the growth of this continent, which was why he had to contain himself.
It would be a world no longer as colorful and diverse, solely dominated by Yu Zi Yu alone.
In fact, this could already be seen now.
With Yu Zi Yu around, this continent was like a dead pool, with each Human Nation being extremely cautious of him and every powerful Transcendent living in hiding.
However, if it weren’t for Yu Zi Yu attacking the entire continent, pressuring them to grow, how many powerful Transcendents would have not emerged?
Whereas the other continents, without an entity like Yu Zi Yu, they were truly flourishing.
For example, in the United States of America, the equilibrium between technology and Spiritual Energy has led to the emergence of many powerful Superhumans. This resurgence has propelled the nation back to its former prominence, reminiscent of its status before the arrival of Spiritual Energy.
Whereas on the Australian Continent, countless Mutant Beasts stood as Kings, with many Emperors of the World.
There was no need to mention the deep sea.
These continents, even the deep sea, were what Yu Zi Yu was eagerly looking forward to.
When the Third Spiritual Energy Tide arrives, Yu Zi Yu would definitely visit them, not only to harvest appropriately, but also give them a sense of crisis so that they would grow faster.
After all, the Third Spiritual Energy Tide would give birth to many existences that Yu Zi Yu was looking forward to.
