Chapter 1828 True Wood Spirit Clan
The Land of Beyond Heaven had expanded several times after Yun Lintian obtained the Dark Pearl. Unknowingly, its size had already surpassed that of all five continents of the Azure World combined.
There were many unused lands around the area. With the current manpower, Yun Lintian couldn't develop them at the moment. He simply let the Dragon Clan's people take care of it.
The forest territory expanded significantly as the Tree of Life grew larger. At this moment, the Tree of Life stood taller than the tallest mountain in this place.
The vitality circulated within the Land of Beyond Heaven mainly originated from the Tree of Life. All the plants and living beings here were nourished by the aura, significantly improving their quality.
"Headmaster." Iryena quickly approached and greeted Yun Lintian. Then she noticed Lin Yitong and suddenly felt an inexplicable connection between herself and Lin Yitong.
"This is Senior Lin. The Tree of Life used to be under her care." Yun Lintian explained.
Iryena was surprised. She quickly bowed her head and said. "Thank you for taking care of Lord Tree of Life."
Lin Yitong smiled softly. "I didn't do anything much. You don't have to be polite."
"It's growing better than I had expected." Lin Yitong turned to look at the Tree of Life in front of her with a hint of surprise in her eyes. "If it continues at this rate, it will take a few thousand years to reach the final stage."
"Final stage?" Yun Lintian was stunned. Why didn't he know anything about the stages?
"There are three stages of growth. An infant, a growing, and a fully grown stage." Lin Yitong patiently explained. "Once the Tree of Life reaches maturity, it will gain the ability to generate lifeforms. The legend said it could even bring the dead back to life."
Yun Lintian nodded slowly. Although it sounded like a fantasy, Yun Lintian didn't deny the possibility of bringing someone back to life.
Lin Yitong reached out to touch the tree, and it swayed gently as if greeting her back.
She spoke further. "The Tree of Life was created by the God of Life, Tai Ying. She was an opposite pole of the God of Death, and her strength was not much inferior to his. While the God of Death's strength is concentrated on destruction, the God of Life's strength is focused on creation. They were like yin and yang, balancing each other out."
"The Tree of Life was destroyed during the Primordial War, but the God of Life managed to preserve its roots with the last portion of her strength and sent it away with the help of the True Wood Spirit Clan, the most loyal clan under her."
Lin Yitong paused for a moment to look at Iryena. "You are a descendant of the True Wood Spirit Clan."
Iryena was stunned. She had no idea about it.
Lin Yitong elaborated. "More than fifty thousand years ago, Yun Tian found me and gave me the roots of the Tree of Life. At that time, the tree's spirit was already beyond recovery. A large part of its memory had also been damaged. All I could do was create a new vessel for it."
Yun Lintian and the others immediately understood. The new vessel was naturally Lauya. It was no wonder she couldn't fully inherit the memory of the previous tree's spirit.
"How did Yun Tian find you, senior?" Hongyue asked curiously.
Lin Yitong shook her head. "Honestly, I don't know. He seemed to know my identity and location from the beginning."
Hongyue furrowed her brow. The most important thing was that Lin Yitong had the ability to revive the Tree of Life. What was her exact identity?
It was as if Lin Yitong could see through everyone's thoughts. She explained. "I was fortunate enough to inherit the legacy of the True Wood Spirit Clan. Similar to Lan Qinghe, my title is The Wood Spirit Immortal."
"The True Wood Spirit Clan was the first clan created by the God of Life. They were personally taught by her and inherited a portion of her power. In the Primordial Era, they were regarded as representatives of the God of Life. Anyone who saw them would show their respects as if they were in the presence of the God of Life herself."
"After the Primordial War, the True Wood Spirit Clan changed their identity and concealed themselves in a remote corner of the Primal Chaos where no one could find them."
"When I was young, I accidentally entered a spatial rift and appeared near their habitat. They didn't chase me away; instead, they chose to save my life."
She looked at Iryena and said softly. "I grew up under their care and was fortunate enough to inherit their legacy. Everything I have today came from their kindness."
As she spoke, she bowed her head toward Iryena.
Yun Lintian and the others were stunned by her sudden action. She was a true god, but she humbled herself before others.
Iryena was taken aback and hurriedly helped Lin Yitong up. "Please don't do this, senior. The people who helped you were my ancestors. I don't deserve this."
Lin Yitong smiled and spoke softly. "Since the moment they saved my life, I have always considered myself a member of the True Wood Spirit Clan. Due to the circumstances at that time, I couldn't let everyone stay with me, so I had to send everyone to the Azure World. Please forgive me."
Iryena quickly waved her hand. "Everything is fine now, senior. You don't have to worry about things in the past. Without it, we wouldn't have met our headmaster."
"Please allow me to atone for my sin. I hope that you can send your people over. I will do my best to pass down the legacy of the True Wood Spirit Clan to all of you." Lin Yitong said firmly.
Iryena subconsciously looked at Yun Lintian, seeking his opinion.
Yun Lintian quickly said. "You can decide for yourself. You have every right to inherit your clan's legacy."
Iryena fell into deep thought. In fact, she had been troubled by the fact that she couldn't do anything to help Yun Lintian. Now that an opportunity had appeared in front of her, there was no reason for her to reject it.
She took a deep breath and bowed to Lin Yitong. "Please take care of us."
A smile blossomed on Lin Yitong's face. She finally had a chance to make up for her regret…
