Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 865 480: Golden Tree, Show Your Power

The vast blue sky, endless verdant plains, herds frolicking in the woods, birds soaring in the mountains, everything in front of him seemed so wonderful, so wonderful as if it were the real world.
Noah, who had immersed his consciousness into the Sea of World Root, was not confused by this scene, for he remembered very clearly where he had come; this was merely the manifestation of the root rules before his eyes.
Different beings coming here would see different scenes. In Noah's case, what he saw was a world infinitely close to reality, but everything in this world was a manifestation of rules.
Yet, even counting Noah, the number of beings capable of reaching the Sea of World Root was scant, as the World Will instinctively repelled free beings from coming here.
This place was the core of the world, more so its pivotal area, where the root rules that maintain the world's operation manifested truthfully, and the Source Power that creates everything flowed within.
Everything here was a reflection of the real world, and you could also say that everything in the real world was derived from this place; the inner and outer were interconnected, mutually influencing each other.
Noah's consciousness shouldn't have appeared here, but alas, he had given too much, and moreover, the promise he made was something the World Will could not refuse.
Ascend the Great World!
Although it sounded like a load of nonsense, the World Will, lacking complete logical thinking, could be duped, but most importantly, Noah was indeed striving in this direction, as evidenced by the countless times he served as a Heavenly Priest.
Since Noah ascended to become a Guardian, the world's foundation had been stabilizing and growing, causing the world to flourish more, and all these things the World Will could perceive, for all benefits would directly feed back into the Sea of World Root.
This is why Noah held such a special position, as the World Will also hoped Noah could ascend, becoming even stronger, as his strength would lead the world into a brand-new realm.
Although the Dragon King couldn't promote the world to become a Great World, at least the possibility would increase, though the World Will did not deliberate that much.
It merely hoped for Noah, as the King of Giant Beasts, to improve, thus opening the Sea of World Root to him, allowing him to swim freely within, extracting and learning the rules he needed.
However, the root rules that sustain the world's operation were just too numerous and complex, and Noah could only touch a tiny portion of them, not even reaching one-thousandth, let alone one-hundredth.
At this time, Noah couldn't help but once again marvel at the creator's might, for the creator needed to at least master all the rules before him; otherwise, how could he construct the world?
It's like humans can't create something they've never seen; they must have some understanding and be very familiar before they can recreate it, and the creator must be the same.
"Enough, I'd better master the rules I am most familiar with first!"
Although infinitely longing for an existence like the creator, Noah knew that if he truly dared to emulate the creator, learning and mastering the root rules one by one, he wouldn't need to ascend to a Dragon King; instead, he would have to spend all his future time here, without leaving the Sea of World Root.
Thus, Noah made a choice; he chose light, fire, daylight, and other powers related to the Sun, preparing to use these root rules as his core root for ascending to a Dragon King.
Titans, when ascending, often choose Thunder and Storms, seemingly unremarkable foundational rules, which they expand upon only after ascending to the epic realm, mastering more rules and powers.
Compared to the limitations on the expansion of Divine Positions that deities face, the epic realm has no such taboos; there are no restrictions on the rules and the number of rules one can master, and an epic being can even master two completely opposing rules.
However, unlike deities that can rely on divine positions to master rules, although the epic realm has no restrictions on mastering rules, accessing and learning root rules is exceedingly difficult, with a threshold many times higher than for deities.
For even the Mother Realm would not easily open the Sea of World Root to native beings without extraordinary contributions beneficial to the world's root, like Noah had done.
Yet, Noah could only slightly gain the upper hand in this aspect. Solely relying on viewing the Mother Realm's rules wasn't enough; a truly powerful epic being needed to view the roots of myriad realms.
However, this step was still far for Noah; for now, even comprehending the Mother Realm's rules, even just part of them, would require an extended time and years for him.
The real way and reason, even if placed before him, were hard to understand. Noah's comprehension was good, thanks to the blessing from the Golden Tree Wisdom Fruit, allowing him to see clearly, but the information contained within the root rules was simply too vast.
When Noah's consciousness immersed in the world's roots, his dragon body also entered into a deeper slumber, but could not trigger a transformation.
Before Noah constructed the Heavenly Temple and made sacrifices to the World Will, his body had already reached the limit of the Material Realm; although it would grow slowly, it was merely in size, unable to reach qualitative change, and every transformation was a result of holding grand sacrifices, making offerings to the World Will for the nourishment of Source Energy.
