Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

Without further ado, they silently and tactfully pulled back after exchanging gazes. If their Ancestor said so, then there was no problem. Their Ancestor was Supreme, there was no one stronger than him within this world.

Meanwhile, Beyond this Universe, a gigantic being the size of an entire galaxy floated above the billions upon billions of Universes.

They had their arms crossed behind their back, their constitution complete similar, yet more advanced than those of the group within the previously mentioned Universe.

They had multiple halos circulating along their forehead like crowns. And many more circulating around their hands, feet and some chaotically spinning behind their back. A total of over hundreds of halos.

"...."

This being did not comment from then on. It only sighed at the levels of power that far surpassed its grasp by multiple degrees. It was the first time it felt something like this.

On this day, it was reminded of how the bigger picture was vast. What it thought was the peak, might not be the peak at all. Maybe, there truly were much bigger worlds above the Multiverse it ruled.

As the first born being of this Multiverse, it's very own Ancient Deity, the Ancestor of all beings, it felt weak and insignificant for once. Yet also motivated on the other hand.

Meanwhile, Su Xue and the Deific Tree appeared within a completely different world than before. At this point, Su Xue was immune to the sudden changes of environment during her battles.

Instead, when she found herself within yet another strange environment, she riled up all her strength and prepared herself for battle. This response was forged through experience against the Deific Tree's sudden Teleportations.

"...."

But just as she riled up her strength, might that could render entire Universes helpless against her, she felt a great threat within her heart.

The string around her completely turned black from the vibrant gold, signifying a path to death. Not the usual path to victory, but absolute death!!

...!!!

Su Xue hurriedly relaxed her strength and loosened her muscles. The death threat likewise loosened, and the string slowly became gray from being pure black.

Su Xue sighed in relief and slowly looked up. She was curious what Existence would be able able threaten her at her most powerful state. Especially when only a few milliseconds were left.

She was at a level of power that was beyond everything. And with thus, she also realized that this form's last ability allowed her to completely deal out terrifying damage, when she was infinitely close to her zenith.

And that time was now!!!

She was probably ten times stronger than when she punched the Deific Tree. Yet even then, she still felt death so potent, it felt like she was trapped in time.

Within a very peaceful world. One where there was plentiful greenery, large trees, fresh plants and vibrant bushes. Illustrious flowers and radiant grass.

A gigantic woman sat within the center of this magnificent place, that stretched out for miles on end. It was larger than anything our current young heroine had seen so far.

Yet at this moment, her gaze was focused more on the woman before. This woman being the one whose presence pressed her down, making her feel like she was trapped within time. Not able to move an inch.

"Ah~ How intriguing." She spoke. Her words were majestic and sonorous, being pleasant to the ears to anyone who was fortunate to hear her melodious tone.

"...."

Su Xue did not say anything and just grit her teeth. Time was against her, and she was inching closer and closer to death every moment. Yet could do nothing about it.

As for the Deific Tree, her face was undamaged and clear as ever. Exquisitely clear at that. And realizing the environment she was in, and the sorounous voice of the woman, she knelt down and lowered her head.

She followed by a set of words that would shock anyone listening, let alone our young heroine close to death.

"Greetings, Mother."

She greeted lightly. Nothing more than that. Her head was kept lowered, and her eyes as empty as ever. This was a normal expression of hers, or Su Xue would think.

This gigantic entity did not say anything, and only nodded slightly towards the humanified Deific Tree's direction.

She was the master of this Realm, an Outer being that surpassed the very limitations of being a Deity. A being beyond the scope of the entire Reality.

A foreigner of sorts. An irregular of sorts. A parasite dangerous towards the 'health' and future of Reality. A being not belonging.

While, the Deific Tree was nothing more than a byproduct of her experimentations. An object born out of her failure to achieve greatness. A reminder to her, that she once failed to attain greatness.

And a reminder for her to absolutely attain greatness, if she never wants failures like her as the end results. She was just a thought to her. One not worth considering at all.

But for once, 'You have done a very good job bringing such wondrous beings to me. I'll praise you for that.' She thought, her eyes staying briefly upon the Deific Tree.

"...."

Su Xue did not say anything, and only a few milliseconds were left before she fell unconscious from pure exhaustion. But her gaze was unwilling and defiant.

"It is fine, dear. There is no need to be so cautious." The gigantic woman looked down upon Su Xue, her gaze benevolent and kind, like that of a mother. Her words also soothing.

"...."

Su Xue did not respond. And the Deific Tree likewise did not respond as well. But the entity did not care, and continued her words, "For I mean you no harm.

"Nor the man that is hiding behind you." She added, surprising Su Xue, and also the Deific Tree. The man behind her? What man could she be talking about? How come they never sensed this man?

...!!!

But a moment later, Su Xue suddenly realized who the entity standing before her could be referring to. There was one man whom she believed absolutely on.

There was only one man who would go through thick and thin to make sure she was safe. There was only one man who cared for her more than his life.

Godfather!!!

"I guess I was easily found out." A casual voice, filled with might and valiance spread out. Then moments later, a strand of hair from Su Xue's body flew out and began glowing gold.

Moments later, it burst out into utter and majestic golden radiance. Slowly revealing the figure of an extremely handsome monkey covered in golden fur all over his body.

His hair also blazed in gold, making him seem holy and valiant. His eyes were also gold as well, making celestial. He stood before Su Xue, gazing up defiantly at the woman.

He raised his hand, and gently patted Su Xue's head, forcefully deactivating her new form. He then used the Advanced Divine  Art, "Resurrection", to forcefully resurrect her dying body.

From a glance, he knew that she would go into slumber for the sole reason of recovering her destroyed body. Most of her internal cells were destroyed the more she kept it active.

Hence resurrecting her already dying body, would do her more good than slumber. In thus current situation. Especially as it was a Divine Art, an abstract ability of True Gods.

"Godfather..." Su Xue looked up at Su Han with deep affection and relief. She still kept up a smile, yet deep down, she felt like she had brought trouble to her favorite person in the world.

"It's alright, godfather is here. You can rest now." At his words, Su Xue knelt down, as her mental exhaustion was not resurrected like her body. But her strong will kept her up.

"Hm."

She nodded strongly, feeling safe behind him. Su Han then gazed up at the gigantic entity, his power also escaping the constructions of Deities, as he also seemed...

Outer!!

Meanwhile, the Deific Tree glanced briefly at the interaction of Su Xue and Su Han, as well as the boundless affection they had for each other within their eyes.

"...."

She did not understand it. Nor how two people can have such feelings towards each other. Thus, she hurriedly averted her gaze and looked down once again.

Meanwhile, before them.

"Strange. Marvelously strange. How could someone like us, be seen within the mortal world of the World?" The woman ignored everything, and thought loudly.

She had long since lost track of the Deific Tree tens of thousands of years ago. She forgot the specific number, or never cared to count, but it never exceeded 20 000 years.

And the one time that she recieved a distress signal, was actually against an opponent threat-full against her life.
