*Boom!* An increasingly terrifying roar erupted within the depths of the Void Space.
The resonance of Soul and Spiritual Energy stirred a mysterious undulation, whereupon Yu Zi Yu slowly felt the world becoming clearer.
No, it would be more apt to describe his perceptive abilities getting enhanced at a frightening speed, every moment, and every second.
At this moment, Yu Zi Yu even believed that ‘Spiritual Energy’ was his eyes.
In fact, it truly was. Wherever his Spiritual Energy passed, scenes continuously appeared in his mind. In those images, the veins in his body appeared like rivers, and all the mysteries and oddities of the void were fully disclosed to him.
…
At the same time, beyond the cracks in the void, in the outside world, Mutant Beasts awakened from slumber, quietly gazing towards the south.
At this moment, wherever Yu Zi Yu’s Spiritual Energy flowed, everything became clear.
This was not Yu Zi Yu deliberately using Spiritual Energy to probe. It was something as natural as breathing.
In a trance, his Psychic Power and Spiritual Energy became indistinguishable.
“So this is Tier-5…” Murmuring to himself, the figure of Yu Zi Yu, sitting cross-legged in the depths of the Void Space with countless roots intertwined, fell into deep thought.
[Compared to Tier-4, Tier-5 is indeed somewhat… strange. If Tier-4 was an evolution of the Hierarchy of Life, then Tier-5 is an evolution of the Realm of Soul. At this moment, my Soul and Spiritual Energy are completely resonating with each other, though I’m still a bit unaccustomed to it.]
[Still, one thing is certain. Tier-5 and Tier-4 are indeed worlds apart. Maybe, as Golden Monkey said, cultivation is the evolution of life. The further one cultivates, the greater is the disparity in the Hierarchy of Life. Correspondingly, the disparity in strength will also continuously grow bigger.]
*Crack, Crack…* Slightly tightening his fist, thunderous popping sounds echoed instantly in the depths of the Void Space.
Feeling the power surging within him, the corners of Yu Zi Yu’s mouth slightly curled up.
With the resonance of Soul and Spiritual Energy, every bit of Yu Zi Yu’s Spiritual Energy could now explode with double or even triple the force of its former strength.
Thinking of this, Yu Zi Yu raised his right hand, and a wisp of emerald green Spiritual Energy slowly rose from his fingertip before he flicked it away.
“Go!” As he shouted, the wisp of Spiritual Energy suddenly turned into a streak of lightning, shooting towards the depths of the Void Space thousands of meters away.
The next moment…
*Booooooom…* A thunderous explosion reverberated through the Void Space as the resulting shockwave stirred the sea of nine-colored Spiritual Energy.
And this was a Tier-5 Transcendent.
“The same Spiritual Energy, compared to Tier-4, has several times the destructive power…” Making a simple evaluation, Yu Zi Yu’s eyes slightly narrowed.
[This is just the most basic application. If I were to use the Spiritual Energy to execute an offensive or defensive ability or even Divine Ability, I’m afraid the destructive power would increase by tens of times.]
Now, Yu Zi Yu felt he could easily destroy a greater half of the continent.
*Haaaa…* Yu Zi Yu let out a long, deep breath, feeling completely satisfied. [I’ll be damned, this is too strong!]
Although there was still much he didn’t understand, his current strength was enough to satisfy him.
Of course, rather than this kind of self-testing of his strength, Yu Zi Yu preferred another method.
With a grin, Yu Zi Yu looked at his status screen.

Calmly going through the familiar status screen, Yu Zi Yu was astonished.
He did not expect for this breakthrough to not bring forth breakthroughs in his various abilities. After all, when he broke through to Tier-4, his various abilities had advanced as well, saving him a lot of Evolution Points.
But surprisingly… none of these abilities had advanced.
“Is this a cue to use Evolution Points for strengthening?” Yu Zi Yu was a bit perplexed and puzzled.
However, the very next moment… as if sensing Yu Zi Yu’s thoughts, a cold System prompt echoed in his ear,
<Ding, post-Tier-4, cultivation is more diversified; each direction requires the host’s decision.>
<Ding, whether to evolve into a World Tree that sustains all things and supporting an entire world, or a Stellar Tree that covers the sky and refines stars in the universe, or an unprecedented Divine Tree, it all depends on the host.>
Upon hearing this, realization also dawned upon Yu Zi Yu. [So that’s how it is. It requires a choice.]
However, it was not surprising either. As one grew stronger, choosing a direction they wanted to thread became a necessity.
The System was ultimately an aid; all decisions must be made by Yu Zi Yu himself.
Just at this moment…
*Boom…* With a thunderous shock, more information flooded into Yu Zi Yu’s mind.
This information seemed to come from the System.
The volume of information was not large, but it was extremely crucial for Yu Zi Yu.
Among them, one piece of information made Yu Zi Yu’s eyes narrow.
<Innate Talents are not necessarily better in greater numbers. Focusing on those that can make one a Hegemon faster. If the Innate Talent–Everlasting Life reaches its peak, one could become an Immortal Tree, immortal and eternal…
If the Innate Talent–Seed of Vitality reaches its peak, one could become a World Tree, capable of nurturing an entire world by itself…
If the Innate Talent–Mastery of Lightning reaches its peak, one could become an Immortal Lightning Tree with lightning in its control, and reigning over the world…
If the innate Innate Talent–Instant reaches its peak, one could stand on the banks of the River of Time, existing forever…
If the Innate Talent–Absolute Evolution reaches its peak, one could gain the title of ‘Vientiane’ (All-Encompassing), establishing oneself in the world, embodying myriad Divine Trees…>
