Lin Yuan also found this treasure on the reward list.
In fact, Lin Yuan had been paying attention to the World Tree sapling for a long time because it was one of the few treasures he knew about.
In the Main World Universe, the World Tree is a rare and priceless treasure. The World Fruit it bears can help evolvers create an internal world ahead of others of the same rank.
Even with Lin Yuan's Unrivaled Insight, he struggled to condense his internal world only when he was at the peak of Rank 6 and about to break through to Rank 7. The World Fruit, however, can directly achieve this, showing the preciousness of the World Tree.
"Your foundation is terrifyingly deep, having fused dozens of cosmic powers with spatial rules. Your internal world must have a treasure of sufficient weight to stabilize it."
"The World Tree is perfect for this," said the humanoid statue, Shen Ji.
The World Tree has many uses, one of which is to stabilize all energy rules within an internal world. A single World Tree is more valuable than thousands or even tens of thousands of other cosmic treasures. It can even expand the internal world beyond the limit of a million miles, which is usually the maximum for human evolvers.
"In terms of value, the World Tree sapling ranks in the top three, if not the first, in the reward vaults of both the first and second floors," the humanoid statue said.
The reason for this "feeling" is that at the level of the World Tree sapling, it's hard to distinguish the first from the second; it entirely depends on what suits you.
"Then it's the World Tree sapling," Lin Yuan nodded.
Even without Shen Ji's suggestion, Lin Yuan would most likely have chosen the World Tree sapling in the end. Given human civilization's understanding of the World Tree, Lin Yuan was eager to own one himself.
"Planting the World Tree sapling in the internal world will generally allow it to grow faster the more profound the internal world's foundation," said Shen Ji.
"I understand," Lin Yuan nodded.
Once the World Tree matures and bears the World Fruit, it will be an incredibly precious treasure. Even if Lin Yuan doesn't use it himself, he could easily sell it. It's estimated that even the strongest ones would be willing to pay a price for the World Fruit to lay a foundation for their descendants.
With the World Fruit, even a Rank 6 evolver could create an internal world, similar to a weaker version of the Star Sea Kun.
"As for the third treasure, I don't have any suggestions at the moment," Shen Ji said.
"No suggestions?" Lin Yuan looked at the reward list again.
Currently, he didn't lack anything and didn't know which reward to choose. If he chose the wrong one, he might regret it for a long time.
"Senior Shen Ji, can I save the last reward choice for later?" Lin Yuan asked tentatively.
Once a reward is chosen, it cannot be exchanged, so Lin Yuan planned to save the choice for later.
"No problem," Shen Ji nodded.
If it were during the peak period of the Devil Jade Tower, where practitioners entered the Black Tower constantly, it would be best to choose rewards as early as possible.
But now, for countless millennia, Lin Yuan has been the only practitioner. It can be predicted that for a long time to come, Lin Yuan will still be the only one. So, there's no chance of the rewards being chosen by someone else.
"Do you plan to try the second floor?" Shen Ji asked with a smile.
The first floor of the Black Tower can only be passed by comprehending complete spatial rules or by an eighth-rank life with several powerful cosmic powers. The second floor? It has nothing to do with eighth-rank life; only the very strong among ninth-rank life have a chance of passing it.
Even though Lin Yuan had comprehended dozens of cosmic powers, including origin-level cosmic powers, he couldn't pass the second floor of the Black Tower.
The nature of life matters, and while primordial-level cosmic powers have unlimited potential, Lin Yuan is currently only at Rank 8. Even with primordial-level cosmic powers, it's impossible to pass the second floor.
Shen Ji asked if Lin Yuan wanted to try the second floor purely out of boredom, wanting Lin Yuan to stay in this training space a little longer.
"Yes," Lin Yuan nodded.
He followed the black stairs to the second floor of the Black Tower.
Seeing this, Shen Ji disappeared into the distance and reappeared outside the nine-story Black Tower.
Scenes from the second floor of the Black Tower appeared before Shen Ji.
"The pressure has increased significantly."
In the second floor, Lin Yuan immediately felt the terrifying pressure from all directions. Various cosmic powers operated around him, even the primordial-level cosmic power, primordial Power, circulated around him. Lin Yuan took difficult steps toward the black stairs in the center of the second level.
Time passed.
Lin Yuan walked a third of the distance in the blink of an eye.
But at the next moment, dozens of cosmic powers shattered, including the primordial Power, turning into nothingness.
Without the protection of these cosmic powers, Lin Yuan's figure also vanished.
"Failed?"
Outside the nine-story Black Tower, Shen Ji showed no surprise. In fact, Lin Yuan walking a third of the distance on the second floor was already remarkable. The second floor is designed for ninth-rank life forms, and many of them can't do what Lin Yuan did.
Some strong ninth-rank life forms are even weaker than Lin Yuan in this aspect. Of course, this is only in terms of mental will and cosmic power. Ninth-rank life forms have far more power, but the nine-story Black Tower specifically tests these aspects.
"It's a pity you appeared too late. If it were during the time of the master, you would have received far more than these few treasures," Shen Ji sighed.
With Lin Yuan's talent, the Devil Jade Tower's master would have nurtured him like a treasure. But now, they could only use these treasures to help him temporarily.
Milky Way Main Star.
Lin Yuan opened his eyes again.
"The second floor is too difficult," Lin Yuan thought. Based on his experience on the first floor, after walking a third of the distance, he would encounter illusory creatures. But Lin Yuan didn't even see the creatures before being crushed by the omnipresent pressure.
"If I comprehend the spatial rules, could I pass the second floor?" Lin Yuan wondered.
Comprehending complete spatial rules wouldn't allow him to move or teleport in the second floor. But mastering spatial rules would enable him to greatly reduce the heavy pressure.
Spatial rules are mysterious, and with them, Lin Yuan could stretch the space around him, significantly reducing the pressure.
"Even if I comprehend complete spatial rules, the hope of passing the second floor is still slim," Lin Yuan shook his head.
According to Shen Ji, the second floor is designed for ninth-rank life forms, and only the very strong among them can pass. This means most ninth-rank life forms have no hope of passing the second floor.
Many ninth-rank life forms who master complete spatial rules still can't pass the second level.
"I have another trump card, the divine ability 'Enhancement'," Lin Yuan thought.
He didn't use 'Enhancement' during his attempt because it would have been meaningless. He was only a third of the way through, and 'Enhancement' lasts only ten breaths, not enough to cover the remaining distance.
"I'll try again later," Lin Yuan gathered his thoughts.
The rewards of the nine-story Black Tower are too valuable for Lin Yuan to pass up. Even if he can't pass the second floor at Rank 8, he will try again at Rank 9.
"World Tree," Lin Yuan focused, looking at the sapling in front of him with burning eyes.
"The Devil Jade Tower's master has reached an incredible level in spatial abilities, directly sending the World Tree sapling through the Devil Jade Mark," Lin Yuan marveled.
Only a sliver of Lin Yuan's mental will entered the Devil Jade Space, unable to bring back physical objects. Even though the Devil Jade Space is far from the Main World, this feat amazed Lin Yuan.
It was like the Gate of Myriad Realms. The Gate of Myriad Realms can transport objects between the Main World and other worlds with enough Boundary Breaking source Energy, surpassing the Devil Jade Tower's master.
However, the Devil Jade Space and the Main World are in the same dimension, unlike the Gate of Myriad Realms, which transcends dimensions and surpasses spatial concepts.
"Quickly plant the World Tree in the internal world," Lin Yuan thought, bringing the World Tree sapling into his internal world.
In the center of his vast internal world of billions of miles, Lin Yuan placed the half-meter-tall sapling on the ground.
The World Tree's roots began to burrow into the soil, slowly absorbing the world's power.
"Interesting feeling," Lin Yuan noticed.
When the World Tree rooted in the internal world, Lin Yuan felt a strange sensation, as if the sapling was his own blood descendant.
"It's absorbing the world's power," Lin Yuan sensed the sapling slowly absorbing the power into its trunk.
As the world's power entered the sapling, Lin Yuan felt he was quickly refining the World Tree sapling.
"No changes," Lin Yuan observed his internal world, finding the sapling had no immediate effect.
"Take it slow," Lin Yuan understood that the sapling was too small to impact his vast internal world immediately.
Milky Way Main Star.
After settling the World Tree sapling, Lin Yuan began studying "Interpretation of the Void."
Human civilization's evolution scholars divided complete spatial rules into basic and core spatial models. Comprehending these models allows mastery of spatial rules.
However, space rules are vast, and thousands or tens of thousands of models can't encompass the true spatial rules. The basic and core models are just attempts by human evolvers to understand space.
The Devil Jade Tower's master wrote "Interpretation of the Void" from a different perspective, interpreting spatial rules as the origin of all things, including various rules like the Five Elements, Thunder, and Light.
"Spatial rules can be understood this way?" Lin Yuan was fascinated, constantly having insights.
His understanding of spatial models deepened, quickly comprehending the 6000th core spatial model and progressing toward the 7000th.
Battlefield B0001.
This medium-sized battlefield is the oldest, where human civilization fought the peak race, the Tianyu Clan. The Tianyu Clan resembles humans, typically five to ten meters tall, with white wings symbolizing their status and potential.
For two million years, human evolvers and the Tianyu Clan fought fiercely, with more intense wars than those against the Insect Race. Daily, many human evolvers and Tianyu Clan warriors die in battle.
Currently, dozens of invincible Rank 8 evolvers gathered, discussing strategies against the Tianyu Clan.
"In a few years, the Tianyu Clan will launch a full-scale war to claim that star domain," said a short, stout Rank 8 invincible, speaking gravely.
Human civilization created battlefields to contain the war's impact. Fighting in space would destroy many planets, and even if they won, they would inherit a devastated star domain.
Previously, Lin Yuan went to the Milky Way Star Domain to take over as star lord, a domain previously belonging to the Shadow Clan. The Shadow Clan lost the war and ceded the domain, as agreed by the major alliances.
Now, the upcoming war between human civilization and the Tianyu Clan will decide the ownership of a vast star domain.
"The Tianyu Clan is well-prepared and determined to take that star domain, mobilizing many invincible Rank 8s. Our chances are slim," said a woman in green.
It's not that human civilization is weaker, but many evolvers were recently mobilized for another war, leaving fewer for this one.
"I have a suggestion," an invincible Rank 8 spoke up.
"Go ahead," the stout elder said, troubled by the upcoming war.
"Recently, the Milky Way Star Lord defeated five invincible Rank 8s, repelling three and killing two, earning great fame," said the third invincible Rank 8.
"My suggestion is to invite the Milky Way Star Lord, no matter the cost," he continued, looking around at the others.

Thanks for the chapter!

("My suggestion is to invite the Milky Way Star Lord, no matter the cost," he continued, looking around at the others.) Not a bad idea, but it would leave him open to potential entrapment. They might try and use memory poison. Even if a supreme one makes a move to defend him, whos to say other supreme ones wont move to interfere.
