Su Yan transformed back into human form and felt a burning sensation on her right hind leg, where she had been struck by lightning.

"What's your purpose in luring me here?"

"I'm here to save Yan Yan."

"Stop pretending!" Su Yan kicked him, then asked Yi, "Are you really that averse to rain?"

Yi looked at the two of them and said, "I don't mind the rain. It's just that there are thunderclouds in the sky above the Ancestral Dragon Tomb. They are my pets. Once they detect other clouds, they will attack them."

"...Why do you say that the creatures in the Ancestral Dragon Tomb are 'dragon's wrath'?"

Jian laughed and said, "Because his pet was essentially a bolt of his wrathful lightning. After being swallowed by a mutated tribulation cloud, it gained sentience and thus became his pet."

Su Yan subconsciously touched her hind leg. "Your pet chopped me up, and it scared my children so much that they don't dare to go outside anymore."

"I thought you had left." Zu Long had sensed spatial fluctuations, which was her daughter Xiaomiqi's talent, so she naturally assumed that they had left.

Su Yan decided to put aside her argument with Yi for the time being; Jian was more on her mind right now. "Tell me, what are you doing here?"

“The only way to reach the Origin Realm is through the Ancestral Dragon Tomb,” Jian replied.

"Why go to the Original Realm?" Zu Long had been observing Jian. "Where exactly does your primordial demon power come from?"

Su Yan's vision blurred.

They found themselves outside the cave, having left it.

A tree on the mountaintop, devoid of leaves, looked desolate and lonely... as if it had fallen asleep and forgotten to grow leaves, or as if it were old and frail, devoid of vitality.

"Brother Yi, if I can revive it, will you send me to the Origin Realm?" Jian did not answer Yi's question, but instead offered a condition that was very tempting to Yi.

“Unless there is the Ancient Mother Cauldron, it is impossible to be resurrected,” Yi replied.

Su Yan stared in disbelief and said to Jian, "Give me back the cauldron!"

She had completely forgotten about this treasure! The divine cauldron that could revive dried-up divine beast pills.

Yi looked at Su Yan, "What cauldron did you say?"

“The Ancient Mother Cauldron,” Su Yan replied.

"Impossible!" Yi refused to believe it, because half of the Ancient Mother Cauldron had already vanished into the world. Even if the other half were found, it would be of no use.

Jian took out a box from the alternate dimension, opened the lid, and inside was the Ancient Mother Cauldron.

Yi stared in disbelief, "How is this possible?!"

Jian took out the Ancient Mother Cauldron. "The Ancient Mother Cauldron can create all things. I have used it to complete my divine root and soul. Now Wen Jin can be said to be my twin brother. He will be independent from now on."

Su Yan was a little confused when she heard his words. What exactly did he want to do?

“To activate the Creation Divine Root of the Ancient Mother Cauldron, one must possess the Ancient Bloodline… Little Dot!” Yi was slightly surprised.

"What's wrong with Little Dot?" Su Yan asked anxiously, because Jian had a history of sacrificing Little Belle, and Su Yan did not trust him.

“How could I possibly harm my own son?” Jian replied. “I put Yangyang and Xiaoxiao into the cauldron before, hoping to use their bloodline to try and activate the Ancient Mother Cauldron. Of course, it didn’t work, and you even summoned them back. I never intended to refine them.”

Su Yan frowned, "...Why didn't you explain this before?"

"Because I felt that even if you misunderstood me or even hated me, at least I still held some weight in your heart. Then, the five-day trip to the human realm made me realize that being liked by you felt even better. Especially when you blossomed beneath me."

"Shut up!" Su Yan's face immediately turned bright red.

Yi glanced at her, then said to Jian, "If you want to go to the Original Realm, you can only revive the World Tree first. The Gate to All Realms is the heart of the tree. You don't need to negotiate with me. As long as it comes back to life, you can go anywhere. I will never stop you."

Jian nodded and handed him the Ancient Mother Cauldron, saying, "I trust Brother Yi."

Yi took the Ancient Mother Cauldron and immediately teleported to the leafless tree on the mountaintop.

Su Yan moved the little dot out of the system space. "You really didn't hurt him, right?"

"Yan Yan, you may not believe me, but you should never doubt a father beast's paternal love for his offspring."

Little Dot didn't know what had happened. She looked at Jian, then at Su Yan, and asked, "Dad, Mom, what's wrong?"

Jian took him from Su Yan's arms and said, "Daddy is going to a place to sleep for a while. When Daddy wakes up again, you may have grown up."

"Where is Daddy going?" Little Dot asked curiously.

“The Original Realm.” Jian didn’t hide it from Xiao Diandian. “Never go to that place. It’s more interesting to stay with your mother.”

Su Yan frowned. "Why are you suddenly bringing this up? Is it related to Wen Jin? Did something happen to him?"

Jian smiled and reached out to Su Yan, "Give me a hug. From now on, I'll be relying on this memory in the Original Realm."

Su Yan increasingly felt that this matter was related to Wen Jin. "What exactly happened?"

But her body still moved closer involuntarily, wrapping its arms around his waist.

As for the Primordial Realm, all she knew was that it was the place where ancient gods slept, and that the God-Emperor wanted to go there, but was refused by the Heavenly Dao.

Jian flashed a bright smile at Su Yan, revealing a set of pearly white teeth, and looked up in the direction of the leafless tree.

Su Yan followed his gaze.

Unbeknownst to many, the leafless tree had grown into a towering, lush giant, its branches stretching endlessly towards the sea of ​​flames…

Su Yan suddenly remembered the World Tree that she and Xiao Mei brought back from the Ice and Fire World, which was rooted in magma and full of life.

The once barren rocky mountain is now covered with green grass and red flowers, completely shedding its former desolation.

The cave that Xiao Shiyi had taken her into was now sealed off, and a tiny seedling was sprouting above the cave entrance, shimmering with a faint green light.

“This is a small World Tree.” Yi walked to the sapling, set up a defensive array, and protected it.

"But isn't there an evil aura in that cave?" Su Yan recalled the fear she felt when she was being chased by the darkness.

"The World Tree grows by absorbing these calamities and impure energies. Through the World Tree's absorption, these energies are transformed into the vital energy that sustains all things."

Yi returned the Ancient Mother Cauldron to Su Yan, saying, "The leafless tree you saw before was the World Tree that had fallen into a dormant state. It no longer transforms those calamities and turbid energies, which has caused instability in all realms. Since the Heavenly Dao cannot activate the World Tree, it uses the war between gods and demons to consume these calamities and turbid energies."

“The only way to activate the World Tree is through the Ancient Mother Cauldron,” Jian patted Little Dot’s head, “and the Ancient Bloodline. Brother Yi hasn’t left this place to return to the Original Realm because he’s been waiting for the Ancient Mother Cauldron to appear, even though he knows it’s long since destroyed. But there’s always a powerful prophet telling him to wait, wait, wait…”

"So, that's why he sealed his heart and suppressed his desires, so he could wait." Su Yan suddenly realized.

Jian looked at Yi and gently pushed Su Yan to Yi's side, saying, "Take good care of her. She came here to have your child."

After saying this, Qian hugged his son and flew towards the World Tree.

"Little Dot—give me back my son!"

“I’m giving Little Dot a gift; he won’t come with me,” Jian said with a smile as bright as a dazzling light.

Suddenly, Su Yan's eyes were stung by his smile, and her vision blurred.
