The End of the World: At the beginning, I seized the SSS-level superpower

Zhao Yin instantly pinpointed the source of the telepathic communication. Before him stood a small sapling with a trunk no thicker than a thumb, standing alone in this desolate and cold world…

The sapling's branches and leaves had long since withered, but at its tip lay a withered human head...

The only discernible feature was that he was male; his facial features were fragmented, his flesh withered, and even his eyes resembled two wooden beads embedded in their sockets…

"Child...do not be afraid, this is just the death of my physical body, it may look ugly...I...am also a human...!"

A hint of inferiority suddenly crept into his telepathic communication, as if he were desperately trying to justify something...

Zhao Yin was shocked by this scene...

His physical body died, but a remnant of his soul remained inside his withered head. In this world on the verge of destruction, he has endured alone until now, unwilling to dissipate!

Zhao Yin had no idea what methods he possessed to keep his soul from dissipating at this moment...

Zhao Yin had no idea what kind of obsession he had, that had already burned away everything, that he could have been freed, but instead chose to linger in endless suffering until now.

That wisp of remnant soul was so weak that it could no longer sense Zhao Yin's life level.

"Child, you come from a low-level transcendent civilization of humanity, don't you? You just experienced... divine grace descending upon the world, you must have been terrified by me...!"

"I am but a remnant soul, clinging to life. When you come to understand the extraordinary in the future, you will understand...!"

"Child, I have summoned you here because there is something... something extremely precious that I wish to entrust to the human race!"

"I'm sorry, I have no choice... I can only... I can only ask you to come in this way...!"

"Child, for you, this could be an opportunity, or it could be... a life-or-death ordeal...!"

"Child, are you willing to accept this karma...?"

He kept calling them "children," his tone like that of an elder, filled with remorse, as he entrusted a difficult task to someone on his deathbed...

After he finished speaking, he fell silent.

It seemed they were waiting for Zhao Yin's reply.

An invisible sense of anxiety emanated from that withered sapling.

"I am a human. Senior, please tell me where you wish to place the treasure!" Zhao said in a deep voice.

In his view, the treasures entrusted to him by a former candidate for kingship are unlikely to be of great value.

But this was the other party's wish, and since Zhao Yin had come here, he should fulfill it for him.

At this moment, the remnant soul had burned away everything. It was not killed by external force, nor was its soul shattered... so there was no possibility of it turning into a ghost.

All Zhao Yin could do for him was to fulfill his wish.

"Have you made up your mind already? Child, you come from the land where divine grace first descended. Such a precious treasure should not have been entrusted to you... Alas!"

The lingering soul sighed, seemingly hesitant, worried that the so-called treasure would implicate Zhao Yin...

"I have made my decision. Please speak, senior." Zhao Yin's deep voice dissipated in the cold wind.

In this endless darkness, the north wind howled, and the mangled head, withered and shriveled, was covered with a layer of frost.

A sense of inexplicable sadness.

In fact, for the remnant soul, Zhao Yin's arrival was already a blessing from heaven, and there was no other candidate.

"This little tree is what I entrust my hopes to!" he said, emphasizing each word as if he had suddenly rallied.

It seems that this matter is the reason for his unwavering obsession, surpassing his concern for life and death.

His next words sent a whirlwind through Zhao Yin's mind...

"Little Wood has a name, Yu Ling! Its origins can be traced back to ancient times...!"

"In ancient times, the human race was incredibly glorious...!"

When the remnant soul spoke of the past glory of his clan, his tone was not one of longing and pride, but rather one of subtle bitterness.

"The last emperor of the ancient human race was called the Human Emperor, who was also known as the Sinful Emperor by later generations in ancient times!"

"Back then, there was a world called the Primordial Era... You can understand it as a terrifying world that existed before ancient times, extremely powerful, and surpassing the sum of all the current worlds!"

He paused, as if giving Zhao Yin time to process the information.

At this moment, Zhao Yin was in a daze.

He never imagined that in this shattered world, he would hear such a secret from a human king candidate!

I have a vague feeling that the withered little tree in front of me probably has an origin that is beyond imagination...

"The Human Emperor merged ninety percent of the human race's fortune with the primordial world. Heh... I don't know what fortune is... Why did the Sinful Emperor do such a thing?"

"All I know is that later, the primordial world shattered, and all the ancient races disappeared... Only my human race survived."

"From that time on, female superhumans lost their ability to reproduce...!"

Zhao Yin was lost in thought again.

He had once learned some information about the ancient White Emperor from Spider Da's mouth.

One of these events was the sudden loss of the human race's ability to reproduce overnight, which was also the root cause of the decline of the ancient human race!

Zhao Yin was unaware of the connection between the actions of the Human Emperor, the disappearance of countless ancient races in the primordial world, and the major events that occurred in ancient times.

Immediately afterwards, the remnant soul changed the subject.

"My name is Ye Huang... My ancestors were descendants of the ancient human race!"

So, that's why he was able to obtain these secrets.

What Ye Huang said next sounded more like a eulogy for himself and his family.

With remembrance.

“After the ancient times, over countless years, the Ye family has grown in number and its incense has been burning brightly. Several human kings have also emerged from among them.”

"Yet not a single one of them has ever left this world. Every ruler of the Ye family has chosen to live in anonymity."

"It is because the Ye family knows that this wood is related to the fate of the clan, and it cannot be released into the world until the human race prospers!"

"It's just a pity that in my generation, Ye Huang, we are unable to protect the world. My Ye family's realm is about to collapse. I wonder what will become of this tree?"

The remnant soul's voice suddenly rose, finally summarizing and connecting the information Zhao Yin wanted to know...

"The Tree of Spiritual Nourishment was formed from a surge of human destiny when the primordial world shattered... It governs the propagation of the human race!"

"My Ye family, though of ordinary blood, has produced many powerful individuals throughout countless years because in the Ye family world, extraordinary individuals can have children without restraint!"

"In my Ye family, every baby is born an evolved being. After adolescence, some may awaken their bloodline abilities without any external aids!"

"All of this is because of the Tree of Spiritual Nourishment...!"

"Child, this wood is of no use to you, but if humanity can survive, it will be a blessing for the entire race!"

"My Ye family will not live to see the day when humanity prospers. This tree, now, can only be taken away by you, child... do you dare?"
