Chapter 0610: This Is the Hongmeng World

“Could you tell me more about this Netherworld Divine Tree?” Huang Long asked.
Zerom, Una, and the others also looked at Livia, eager to know the origin of this so-called World Tree that had shocked and discomposed Livia, the Supreme Divine King.
Livia nodded and said, “The universe is vast and boundless. Within it, there are three thousand great worlds, and our current Chaos Divine Plane is merely a high-level divine plane belonging to one of these three thousand worlds!”
Three thousand great worlds?! The Chaos Divine Plane is just a high-level divine plane of one of those worlds?!
Zerom, Una, and the others had never heard before that the Chaos Divine Plane was just one of the high-level divine planes among the three thousand worlds!
Everyone was utterly astonished.
Huang Long was also surprised for a moment but quickly regained his composure.
Three thousand great worlds? Huang Long thought to himself.
There had already been talk of three thousand great worlds since the time of Pangu, but Huang Long had dismissed it as a joke. It seemed now that it might indeed be true.
In fact, when Huang Long was reborn in this other world, he had already pondered this question.
“Then, Great Divine King, if there are three thousand great worlds in the universe, which world does our Chaos Divine Plane belong to?!” Una couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.
Everyone looked at Divine King Livia, wanting to know the answer.
“Our Chaos Divine Plane belongs to a high-level divine plane in the Hongmeng World!” Livia replied without reproach.
“Hongmeng World?!” Everyone exclaimed in shock.
“That’s right. Our great Creator created this world and named it the Hongmeng World,” Livia continued, nodding. “And our great Creator is called Hongmeng!”
The great Creator! Hongmeng!
The crowd was stunned, unable to process these ideas for a long time.
Hongmeng World, Pangu World!
Huang Long’s eyes sparkled as he finally understood what he had previously failed to grasp. This other world, the Hongmeng World, was just one of the three thousand worlds in the universe, just like the Pangu World.
“So, how can one travel from the Hongmeng World to another world?” Huang Long asked, inspired by the thought.
Livia glanced at Huang Long and shook her head. “I don’t know. Only the Holy Kings know how to travel from the Hongmeng World to another world. Although we are Supreme Divine Kings, we don’t know either.”
Holy Kings!
That meant one must achieve the state of Hunyuan Immortality! Huang Long thought to himself.
“How many Holy Kings are there in the Hongmeng World?” Huang Long asked thoughtfully.

Pangu had the Three Pure Ones and Nüwa, as well as Zhunti and Jieyin from the West. Above these six was Hongjun and Pangu. So what about this Hongmeng World?
Livia shook her head. “It involves matters of the Sacred Kings; we cannot speak of it.”
Since Livia refused to say, Huang Long didn’t press her further. Yet even without her explanation, Huang Long could guess that there were likely two to three powerful Sacred Kings in this Hongmeng World.
There were seven supreme divine kings in the Chaos Divine Realm, including the fallen Meng Lei. The number of powerful Sacred Kings couldn’t exceed that of the supreme divine kings—this was Huang Long’s guess.
“So what’s the relationship between this Netherworld Divine Tree and the Three Thousand Great Worlds?” Huang Long asked. Since Livia had mentioned the Three Thousand Great Worlds, this Netherworld Divine Tree must be related to them; otherwise, she wouldn’t have brought it up for no reason.
At that moment, Tiron, Una, and the others also regained their composure and listened attentively as Livia explained the connection between the Three Thousand Great Worlds and the Netherworld Divine Tree.
“I heard from the Sacred King that, many, many eras ago, before the universe even existed and no worlds had formed, a giant tree that reached the heavens grew at the center of the universe. And that giant tree was the World Tree!” As she spoke, Livia turned to look at Huang Long. “Although I don’t know why you call this World Tree the Netherworld Divine Tree, I’m certain this green tree before us is indeed the World Tree—just as described by the Sacred King. It’s merely scaled down countless times, but its green glow and intense, surging life energy are unmistakable!”
As if fearing Huang Long wouldn’t believe her, Livia emphasized once again that this green tree was the World Tree.
“The World Tree,” Huang Long murmured to himself.
“That’s right. The Netherworld Divine Tree you speak of is the World Tree,” Livia said, her expression filled with memories. “I still remember what the Sacred King said back then…”
“What did he say?” Huang Long asked, puzzled by her hesitation.
“That whoever can possess this World Tree will become the ruler of the world!” Livia stared deeply at Huang Long, trying to keep her voice steady, though she still couldn’t suppress the tremor.
“The ruler of the world?!” Tiron, Una, and the others all turned to look at Huang Long, their eyes filled with disbelief and shock. Tiron’s eyes shone even brighter.
Huang Long was also slightly surprised. He hadn’t expected such a thing—becoming the ruler of the world just by obtaining this World Tree?!
“Divine King, does the ruler of this world mean the ruler of the Three Thousand Great Worlds?!” After a moment of silence, Una couldn’t help but speak again, her voice trembling violently.

Although she was a Supreme God, the Holy King seemed utterly out of reach to her. Above the Holy King was the Creator Lord. But if the Lord of this world was the ruler of the Three Thousand Great Worlds, didn’t that mean he was even above the Creator Lord?! What kind of concept was that above the Creator Lord?!
Uona felt her blood flow stagnate throughout her body. If Uona was like this, there was no need to mention Zerom and the others.
“Yes, the ruler of the Three Thousand Great Worlds!” Rivia’s voice trembled as well.
If what the Holy King said was true, did that mean the man standing before her would eventually become the ruler of the Three Thousand Great Worlds?!
In fact, when she saw the World Tree, she, like Leo back then, inevitably developed greed. But later, she let go of it. She knew that treasures like the World Tree possessed a spirit. Since she had chosen the Yellow Dragon, it was useless for her to try to take it.
If the World Tree did not choose you, even if you wanted to become the ruler of the Three Thousand Great Worlds, it would remain just a dream.
Now, she vaguely understood why Leo wanted to kill the Yellow Dragon—likely because he had already known about the World Tree and desired to possess it.
As for Opot, Hibere, Yidehai, and Muri, they probably still didn’t know.
Rivia’s thoughts raced.
At that moment, Uona and the others on Silver Fox Mountain, after receiving confirmation from the Divine King Rivia, trembled violently. Looking at the Yellow Dragon, their eyes changed once again—not with the previous awe, but with profound reverence. Their expressions were even more respectful than those of higher gods toward the Supreme Divine King, and they even seemed somewhat panicked.
As for Zerom, his eyes sparkled. “This is my master! The Lord of the World!”
In fact, Zerom had already begun imagining how, after the Yellow Dragon became the Lord of the World, he could serve as its mount and roam the Three Thousand Great Worlds together in glory!
The Yellow Dragon, meanwhile, stared at the Abyssal Divine Tree, the World Tree, with flickering eyes. What Rivia called the “Lord of the World” held no interest for him. If obtaining the World Tree could make one the Lord of the World, surely no mere Holy King could claim that with certainty.
For now, the most important thing for the Yellow Dragon was to break through to the peak of Quasi-Sainthood, then find other parts of the World Tree to merge with, achieving the state of Hunyuan Immortality, and first become a Saint.
Some so-called “Lord of the World”? Such legendary notions held little belief in the Yellow Dragon’s heart.
At that moment, Rivia regained her senses and snapped at the people on Silver Fox Mountain, “You must not reveal a single word about today’s events. If you do, you know what will happen to you!”
Uona and the others on Silver Fox Mountain trembled and hurriedly promised they wouldn’t.

However, Rivia was still uneasy and asked Yuna and the others to swear by the name of the Creator before she felt at ease. Seeing this, Zerom and the others quickly swore by the name of the Creator without the Yellow Dragon needing to say anything. “You may go now!” Rivia then said to the people of Silver Fox Mountain. “Yes, Goddess-King!” Yuna and the others replied respectfully, then naturally bowed to the Yellow Dragon before leaving. Realizing that Yuna had something she didn’t want others to hear, the Yellow Dragon also asked Zerom and the others to retreat. “Brother Yellow Dragon, although I don’t know how you obtained the World Tree, I think it’s better if you avoid using it until you reach the strength of a Goddess-King,” Rivia advised. Though the Yellow Dragon was currently only a Supreme God, upon learning he possessed the World Tree, Rivia’s expression naturally carried a hint of respect. The Yellow Dragon was aware of this; in fact, he had refrained from using the World Tree even during the time in the Mor Mountains for this very reason—he wouldn’t use it unless it was absolutely necessary. “Leo knows too,” the Yellow Dragon said. Previously, since the Yellow Dragon didn’t know about the legend linking the World Tree to the World Lord, Leo’s knowledge hadn’t worried him much. But now, it seemed things would be troublesome. Rivia wasn’t surprised; she had guessed it already. “Leo probably won’t reveal this for now!” Rivia thought for a moment before saying, then frowned worriedly, “But in the future…!” The Yellow Dragon waved his hand nonchalantly. “It’s fine. Even if Leo spreads the news, it doesn’t matter much.” For the current Yellow Dragon, a Supreme Goddess-King posed no threat. Hearing this, Rivia was momentarily stunned before smiling. “I forgot—you have these Immortal Palaces. Even a Goddess-King can’t do much to you.” Though Rivia had been shocked by the World Tree, she had also kept an eye on the outside situation, so she could see clearly that Leo and Opot and the others couldn’t detect the Immortal Palaces. “But what about the Holy King?” the Yellow Dragon asked, showing concern. If the Holy King came, even with the Immortal Palaces and the Art of Immortal Flight, it would be useless. “Don’t worry, Holy King. He hasn’t appeared in over a thousand Eras. As for the Great Creator, we’ve never even seen him. Moreover, even as Goddess-Kings, we can’t get in touch with the Holy King or the Great Creator. So, Brother Yellow Dragon, you don’t need to worry,” Rivia said.
