After Ye Ling passed through the root break, he felt an extremely strange sensation, as if he were transforming from virtual to physical.
If a comparison had to be made, it was similar to the wondrous feeling he experienced when returning to reality from the virtual world created by the Primal Wisdom King.
"Why do I have this strange feeling?"
Ye Ling was somewhat puzzled and immediately commanded the Spirit of Nothingness, "Spirit of Nothingness, use the Book of Nothingness to deduce the reason for this strange feeling."
"Spirit of Nothingness?"
Ye Ling tried calling out to the Spirit of Nothingness several times, but received no response.
"Lost contact?"
Discovering that he could not contact the Spirit of Nothingness, Ye Ling immediately checked the Nothingness series artifacts within his body and found that not only the Book of Nothingness, but also the Stone of Nothingness, Heart of Nothingness, and Law of Nothingness had all lost contact with him!
"Is this a special ability of the Negative Tree? Have I been exposed?"
Seeing that all his Nothingness series artifacts had lost contact, Ye Ling's heart tightened. However, he quickly calmed down, his mind racing.
"No, the Nothingness series artifacts are enough to destroy the Negative Tree. It must be another reason for losing contact with the Nothingness series artifacts! Fortunately, there are still traces of the Insect Emperor left inside. Let's find the Negative Tree's本体 first!"
Ye Ling no longer relied on the Book of Nothingness and began to follow the traces left by the Insect Emperor, traversing one independent space after another.
Perhaps because the Dark Side Legion's commotion at the interdimensional reception area was growing louder, the Negative Tree focused all its attention on the main hall. Ye Ling encountered no obstacles along the way and easily reached the most core space.
Here, a towering, pitch-black tree stood in the void. Countless roots at the base of the tree pierced into the void, connecting to countless independent spaces.
And before the towering tree, the Insect Emperor floated alone in the void, calmly watching the giant tree.
"Master!"
At this moment, the Spirit of Nothingness's voice sounded within Ye Ling's body, "Finally, I've contacted you! Just now, I suddenly lost contact with you, and no matter how I called out to you, Master, I couldn't get in touch!"
Seeing that his contact with the Spirit of Nothingness had been restored, Ye Ling immediately used runes to conceal his aura and asked the Spirit of Nothingness, "What happened just now? Not only you, but I and all the Nothingness series artifacts lost contact."
Spirit of Nothingness: "Master, the moment you entered the Negative Tree's roots, a strange fluctuation emerged in the Void Dark Side. At that time, the entire Void and Void Dark Side were frozen, and then I lost contact with you until now."
"Strange fluctuation? What fluctuation?" Ye Ling immediately asked.
Spirit of Nothingness: "I'm sorry, Master, I couldn't capture it. The Book of Nothingness is also blank, and I cannot find the source of that energy."
Ye Ling frowned, "Even if I expend my remaining energy, I can't deduce it?"
The Spirit of Nothingness nodded, "Yes... That strange fluctuation is not like Void energy, and it exceeds the capabilities of the Book of Nothingness."
"Is that so..."
Hearing the Spirit of Nothingness's words, Ye Ling's expression immediately became serious, faintly feeling that the strange fluctuation might be closely related to the secret he saw in Sin.
"Speaking of which... Sin's personality changed drastically only after contacting the Negative Tree. Once I reach the Negative Tree's本体, I should be able to find something."
While Ye Ling was communicating with the Spirit of Nothingness, the Insect Emperor in front of the Negative Tree flew directly towards the Negative Tree's本体, and a huge crack appeared in the trunk of the Negative Tree, revealing a beating, dark heart within.
"Master, that's the Heart of the Negative Tree!"
The Spirit of Nothingness saw the dark heart in the crack and immediately reminded Ye Ling.
As soon as the Spirit of Nothingness finished speaking, a human face appeared on the Heart of the Negative Tree, and then a person, completely shrouded in black energy and looking exactly like Ye Ling, flew out from the Heart of the Negative Tree!
"Sin?"
Ye Ling's pupils slightly contracted as he saw the person flying out of the Heart of the Negative Tree, and his heart was stirred by immense waves!
He had just killed Sin, and now Sin was directly resurrected?
Moreover, it was born directly from the Heart of the Negative Tree?
However, after Ye Ling carefully observed the current Sin, he found that the current Sin was just an empty shell, its body seemingly controlled by the Negative Tree.
That was not Sin at all!
Upon seeing "Sin" fly out from the Heart of the Negative Tree, the Insect Emperor immediately knelt down towards "Sin" and respectfully said, "Chong Yi, welcomes Master's return!"
"Sin" ignored the kneeling Insect Emperor, his hollow eyes looked up at the sky, then several thick tree roots intertwined, flashing countless scenes related to Sin, and finally the scene froze at the moment Ye Ling and the Heart Demon joined forces to obliterate Sin.
As the scenes displayed by the Negative Tree's roots froze, "Sin's" hollow eyes gradually cleared, and he said faintly, "I didn't expect that this life, the reincarnation would kill the本体. Such a big variable has appeared in the Void, it must be someone interfering... Chong Yi."
"Yes! Please instruct me, Master!" the Insect Emperor quickly responded.
"Sin" looked at the Insect Emperor and said faintly, "You brought a rat here, what crime is that?"
"Rat?" The Insect Emperor was full of confusion.
And upon hearing "Sin's" words, Ye Ling's hair stood on end, and he instinctively used Absolute Divine Movement to teleport away!
Boom!!!
The moment Ye Ling teleported away, countless Negative Tree roots shot out from the void, stabbing towards Ye Ling's previous location!
If Ye Ling had been a moment slower, he would have been pierced through!
The Insect Emperor looked at the appearing Ye Ling with disbelief and exclaimed, "How is he here?"
"Sin" looked at the appearing Ye Ling calmly and said faintly, "It seems you are that variable... After killing Sin, you dare to come here. Your courage is commendable."
Ye Ling looked at the expressionless "Sin" and questioned, "Are you that legendary Great Tribulation? I never thought that the thing that has been threatening the Void and the Void Dark Side actually came from the Negative Tree."
"Great Tribulation?"
"Sin" smiled slightly, "It seems someone has called me that. After all, every once in a while, I have to reset the Void and the Void Dark Side to prevent too many variables from affecting my experiment."
"Compared to Great Tribulation, I think... I am more like an experimenter." Da Feng Fiction Network
"Experimenter?" Ye Ling raised an eyebrow.
"That's right..." Great Tribulation smiled slightly, "I am dedicated to creating a perfect person. The Void and the Void Dark Side are merely my experimental grounds. Sin... is my experimental subject, and Ye Ling, you... were supposed to be the tool responsible for Sin's reincarnation and transformation. But this experiment seems to have had an accident. You, the tool, actually erased my experimental subject."
"The experimental tool eliminated the experimental subject. The variable in this experiment... has far exceeded my expectations."
Hearing what Great Tribulation said, Ye Ling burst into laughter, his gaze towards Great Tribulation carrying a hint of pity.
He had seen in Sin's information that as long as the five Nothingness series artifacts were gathered, there would be enough power to deal with Great Tribulation, turn the tide, and save the Void and the Void Dark Side.
This meant that Sin had definitely gathered the Nothingness series artifacts before, and even killed this self-proclaimed "experimenter" Great Tribulation, saving the Void and the Void Dark Side.
And now, Great Tribulation still existed, and the Nothingness series artifacts had to be collected again... It seemed everything was a cycle.
Regardless of the reason for the cycle, this Great Tribulation, who called himself an "experimenter," was merely a white mouse in a much larger experiment.
