The foreign feeling Divinre felt comes from the depth of soul, it was an instinctive reaction. In fact, this feeling was more potent that when he saw a true God. It was as if the tree was more than just a God to him, or perhaps the whole Beast Race as a whole, and more like their... creator.

When he saw a Beast who ascends and become a God, he only revered the said beast. However, it was different when he saw this tree, his soul scream that he's willing to die just for this tree, just like an ant to their ant queen.

Then, as if an instinct, he use his prophetic ability and ask the Fate itself about this boy and more importantly the Martial Spirit. However, the moment he did, he saw nothing but blinding light! It was so bright that as though he's looking directly to the core of the sun!

This was the first time he encounter this type of situation. Yes, there's some lucky individuals with great talent and providence that have their own fate protected and can't be prophesied but it was not to the point of this blinding light but more like only covered with thick white wall.

Divinre immediately cancel his prophetic ability but the first backslash he received was so powerful. His eyes were currently streaming with blood and it looks like it won't stop any moment. In addition, perhaps after looking at that blinding light, he literally turn blind! Moreover, even his [Divine Sense] was blind.

For a diviner like himself who pride themselves with their ability to see through anything including the future, being a blind through and through was the greatest backslash.

However, he don't care much about his current situation because he discovered a treasure! With his current cultivation base, even a future of Saints can't be able to hide from him and this just means that that youth have unlimited prospect that even the Fate itself don't have the ability to tell the youth's future!

Perhaps this youth was the answer for him to step into that unreachable realm...

But seconds later, it dawn to him the current state of that youth. Eventhough he knew that he can survive that injury since he have unlimited future ahead of him, but this was the chance for him to gain the favor of that youth!

Only, while he was in the middle of formulating his mischievous plan, he felt a shockingly high temperature swept over him! It even push him back for some distance!

Naturally, the phantom tree that appears on top of Cole's badly injured body was his own Messiah Tree Martial Spirit.

As of now, Cole was in comatose state. It was an instinctive response of the body to recover itself. It was trying to save much of his vitality and life force while using his own soul energy to repair and recover. However, the leaking vitality and life force is much more faster than his self recovery.

And so, his body instinctually find a solution. And the one who answer his bodies' call was his own Martial Spirit. It passively activates its unused chance and enter the [Blood Realm] and try to look for possible solution for Cole's current situation.

Every type of elements have their own unique way of healing. Even a tyrannical element like lightning and thunder which was known for its destructive powers have the ability to heal creatures. It was the same for other elements like fire, darkness, death and metal.

This was a testimony that every in this world is under the truth of Yin and Yang. Even in the world of unrelenting darkness, there's still a speck of light present. There's only extreme condition but not purely made everything of it.

On the other hand, there's also elements that was known for their ability to heal. The very well known elements known for their superior healing abilities is wood, water and life.

Wood, just like the tree itself, known as the sign of longetivity and life. Life represents the very essence all creatures and things in the world.

As for water, it was literally the very thing needed for life in order to survive. As the saying goes, water is life.

And since the [Blood Realm] was the mystical place where the inheritance of whole Beast Race was stored, it could be said that Cole's choice was almost endless. After the long passage of time, countless different kind of beast have already emerge, there were even some who've got extinct after the natural selection of time.

Perhaps the beast itself got extinct but their inheritance was eternally stored in the [Blood Realm], waiting for their species to be revived and inherited by their own kind.

However, what's Cole's very own advantage was that he could choose anything he wanted to. Vastly different from the Beast itself who can only received the inheritance of the same species. For instance, a Dragon can only received an inheritance of Dragon and nothing more, unless it have another prominent bloodline in its body.

If Cole wanted to, he can have the inheritance of many legendary and mythical beasts like True Dragon and Four Divine Beast, as long as he have a chance.

This was the testimony that Messiah Tree Martial Spirit are more than divine and more like godly!

Although he don't have any idea yet how to restore or add a chance of his [Blood Realm], he knew that the answer is coming neatlr. But the time he did, he can have anything he wants!

But this time, in particular, since Cole are not conscious for the meantime, he can't forcefully accept an inheritance of beast through his given chance. The Messiah Tree Martial Spirit only sends Cole's dormant soul into the [Blood Realm] in hopes of being chosen by the inheritance itself.

Fortunately, an inheritance answered the calling and it was even an inheritance of phoenix beast!

The ability of phoenix was very known. In fact, they even have the ability to revive from ashes like a rebirth! Don't say about healing, they could even escape possible death!

And this ability is called [Nirvana Rebirth]! It was the ability to reborn from ashes through their True Phoenix Fire!

This was what Divinre see.

Meanwhile, Cole's world was currently filled with darkness. His soul was currently shut down due to grave injury he received from Saint's attack.

Suddenly, this dark world was filled with vivid, mysterious sight. Like a video playing inside his mind, Cole watch a vast outer space. In there, he could see many miniaturized planets, billion of stars and of course, the unrelenting vastness of the empty void.

Suddenly, a very bright glow appear like a northern star in the sky. Cole thought it was nothing but it wasn't when that bright light started to bright more and starting to get bigger.

Seeing this, Cole knew that this was the center of this sudden scene.

After what it feels like a very long time, Cole can finally deduce what's that bright glow. And it looks like... a bird. A gigantic bird to be exact.

Later on, he could finally see clearly the said bird. It wasn't just a simple bird, it carries a very noble, ancient temperament and the word beauty and gorgeous wasn't enough to describe it.

Cole literally can't take his eyes out of it.

Moments later, a thought suddenly appear inside his mind. This bird was probably... the legendary and also the Queen of feathers, the phoenix.

In the empty and boring sight of the vast space, the mixture of white and green feathered Phoenix was like a peacock in herd of chickens.

Cole watch the said perfect bird without blinling his eyes. He engraved inside his mind its bird cry that was despite being piercing, carries the aura of life that heal his wounded soul.

Finally, the phoenix was near him. However, what he see shock him to his core.

Not every planet had the suitable environment to support life. Just like the solar system, among the nine or eight known planets, only the planet earth have the ability to nurture and create life.

And the planet he can currently see are those with hostile environment. However, every hostile planet that the Phoenix pass will suddenly turn into green planet and the virgin forest that suddenly appear was as though in there in the first place. Although those planets don't have life yet but it was terraform into a planet that can support life in an instant.

This ancient phoenix was... indescribable!

Cole thought that what he currently see is a true God!

Then, all of a sudden, the gigantic creature appear in front of him. Just by the size alone, he was more than just an ant, he's more like a dust in front of the pristine phoenix!

Watching the said phoenix light-years away was already awe inspiring but it was many fold different in front of it.

Also, now that the phoenix is in front him, he could feel the great wave of life force it exudes. In fact, in just a second of being washed by the Phoenix's aura, he felt like he return to being baby again. He felt like his soul turn very pure just like the Phoenix's feathers.

However, no matter how brimming the his life force at that moment but if the said phoenix attacks him, he could be swallowed wholly without an ounce of chance to survive.

Fortunately, the gigantic phoenix just looks at him very sharply, as though it was checking him.

Cole literally turn stiff. In fact, due to his mannerism from his past life on earth, he even wants to smile to the said godly creature yet he can't due to the pressure he felt from its mere presence.

Just as Cole thought that the phoenix decided to eat him for dinner, the gigantic phoenix turns into sea of light that fuse into him.

And everything turns very dark again, as if what happen just a 3D video that got finished playing.

On the outside world, the moment the sphere of blood with image of phoenix merge into Cole's body, an small explosion happen that sends everyone in a distance, including the all-powerful Great Saint Divinre.

Both Celia and Divinre knew what's happening. As they were also a beasts, they knew the existence of [Blood Realm] and knew that Cole was experiencing something that should be impossible, a human accepting a full inheritance of Phoenix Beast.

One should know that Phoenix Clan is one of the most prominent clan in the whole Beast Race. Their inheritance is very precious as Dragons' and it was protected very well!

Not very long after, an scorching heat was produced by Cole's body and the other presence near him got hit by the heat wave. Don't say about the others but even Divinre himself felt threatened by the heat! It was as if the inner flame inside Cole was capable of burning him into ashes!

The flame of Phoenix was very renown throughout the whole universe. Not only it had the ability to create Nirvana, in its peak, it can even burn Space, Time and Fate!

However, Divinre was a Great Saint himself. Eventhough he don't have a powerful body of cultivator since he practice the art of [Divination], it was still absurd that a heat that radiates from a mere Mortalhood Realm human cultivator can greatly affects a creature of his level!

Even if the Phoenix Flame have a very high temperature, there were still a very huge difference between their level that should be insurmountable.

This just means that what Cole is recieving is more powerful than he thought! And it should be from something more ancient and powerful than Phoenix he knew...

!!

But later on, to their surprise, specially Divinre, eventhough they felt that the heat reach the peak and nearly melt them into liquid then eveporates in the air, their instincts told them that the heat was not actually... a threat.

Moments later, a inky black smoke like a vehicle exhaust was released by Celia, along with Shiela and five newly edified Tier-9 Spiritual Ghosts. Followed by Virgo, who's still in her [Crown Spirit Form], not long after.

However, if this exhaust smoke is to be slowed down, one will see that something black matter was released by Celia's body which immediately got turn into ashes by the scorching heat emitted by Cole.

On the other hand, the black smoke that was released by the six Tier-9 Ghost was akin to the thick black smoke released by factories. It sounds so exaggerated... but it was true.

Seeing this, Divinre exclaimed inside his head, 'Purification! The heat actually purifies everything inside its affected area including both body and soul! This means... that the heat we all felt was not just a simple as melting them but burning the filth inside their body!'

Just like how fats block the veins inside the human body, the filth accumulated inside the cultivators body also blocks meredians. And just like how blood will be having a hard time flowing inside the humans body, filth blocks the meridians which will slow down the intake of spiritual energy through meditation and specially the outtake of one's energy which will reflect the flow and casting time of skills and techniques!

By removing those filths in the body, it wasn't only those mention above will be solved but many more others!

Other cultivators, specially like Divinre who reached the higher stages, knows the importance of clean body. They were ready to lose all their money just to have anything that could help them clean their body but it was proved to be very hard! Afterall, it was said that Gods have a very pure, filthfree body, so if they wanted to reach that stage, they have to first clean their mortal body!

To think that a heat could do all of this! Then what will happen if they were exposed to the flame source itself?!

While all the creatures near Cole's body is occupied with their own task, a transparent flame with green edges envelopes Cole which immediately incinerated everything about him including his body!

Fortunately, all his important items like the Purifying Devil Radiance Orb and Black Ring he cheated from the sealed arms of Devourer Devil Saint was transported inside the [Inner World] of Summoning Grimoire, sparing them of turning into ashes.

It didn't even take a second before Cole's body was burned into ashes and what was left on his last position was two ethereal orbs and one drop of blood. The first one looks like a mini galaxy with stars, strange shaped planets and more strange sun that release a six different radiance. The second ethereal orb have an image of crystallized tree with occasional fruits and exactly fifty leaves. It was also covered with big body of liquid like a sea. The drop of blood is Cole's blood essence.

Of course, the first two was Cole's Dantian Field and Soul.

This process was seen by Divinre who already recover from his state of shock but immediately shocked again afterwards.

The three orbs was refined by transparent with green edges flame for the whole minute.

Halfway that process, all of the creatures with direct connection to him through his soul was summoned out. Shelly, Coal Groot, Bell, Blue, Pis-ces and the still unnamed Treasure Hunter Rat... Even the other with temporary soul contract with him was summoned including the Tree of Life and the two puppet beast, the Ferghana Horse and Poison Cloud Lion. Surprisingly, even the egg of Skeletal Sage was summoned outside.

Afterwards... they were also consumed by the invisible flame!

But instead of looking tormented and tortured by the high temperature of flame that envelopes them, all of them currently looks deep asleep while fantastically floating in the air.

If someone see this, they might think that even his contracted beasts, spirits and spiritual plant are undergoing Nirvana too!

In fact, it was true in some sense.

Currently, the transparent flame is cleansing everything about Cole, including his body which was already incinerated to ashes and of course, his soul. Since his summon was basically connected to him through soul and somehow considered part of his already, they were also affected with Cole's current situation.

Still, what their experiencing was not exactly Nirvana Rebirth, they were just getting refined by flame to become clean and pure, so that they can't transfer it to Cole through their soul connection.

Since Divinre was a Great Saint and the purification brought by the heat to him was very slow and minimal, he engrossed himself on watching Cole's Nirvana Rebirth. And to say that he's not surprised when he saw the other creatures that appear out of thin air is a big fat lie.

Of course, not every one of them was not worth to be shocked about. What got him surprised was the mystical tree that was the Tree of Life.

The Tree of Life was a very renown Divine Tree. It was known for its ability to produce Water of Life which is capable of restoring vitality and life force that will lengthened life-span. It was also known for its dependent lifeforms, the Elves. Needless to say, it was an item enough to arouse even the people from Central Continent.

The second that surprised him was specifically the small rodent. The others might not have an idea about this creature but he knew first hand its horror.

There were once a creature that brought endless trouble and headache in the whole Nexus Realm. It was thief that will enter treasury and swept the storage clean. Of course, it was hunted not only by the owner of the treasures but also the other greedy cultivators that wants to claim the treasures for themselves.

No matter how powerful and effective its hiding skills and speed, it was still found and gravely wounded by powerful cultivators from Sky Mending Sect.

The news said that its treasure was confiscated and recieve grave injury which prompt it to hide.

Seeing this little rat... This might be the descendant of that headache inducing creature...

Just one news of their existence are enough to cause chaos in the whole Nexus Realm! The Tree of Life is like golden goose that lays a golden egg, it can continuously produce the Water of Life that can be sold in a high price. As for the rat beast, it can be nurtured so that it could continuously find golden eggs!

With the existence of those two creature, he knew that their Master won't face any financial problems!

It was fortunate that the he's the one who see of all this... If this was seen by others, perhaps they were already plotting on how to rob those two treasures...

Thinking of this, Divinre immediately send his already weakly recovered [Divine Sense] inside his own spatial storage and brought out a tool that looks like a disc. He send his energy to the equipment and it immediately creates a dome barrier that covers an whole area and hides them temporarily. It was a powerful equipment that could even hide from the prying eyes of Heaven itself for a short period of time. It should be enough to hide the trace of this phenomenon from other powerful powerhouses in the whole world.

Perhaps the others will think that what he's doing was not appropriate. It was always right that treasures should always fall in the hand of the powerful and weak don't have privilege to do it. If he wanted, he can kill Cole and he could rob both the Tree of Life and descendant of Treasure Ransacking Rat, as well as his other belongings, kept it to himself and no one will ever said that he'd done wrong.

However, he's not that kind of person. Don't say about what he encounter when he try to divine his fate, but as a Great Saint that specializes in the path of Fate and Divination, he can't kill a person casually, specially the likes of Cole who have a great providence. Besides, he was just a beast that only wants to finish the last mission his former Master gave him–to look for someone who will inherit her will and continue her legacy as Divine Alchemist.

If he will just look for possible candidate for her inheritance, there were many qualified and talented Alchemist in the whole Nexus Realm. However, there were just a very crucial requirement; he or she should have the innate talent of using Phoenix Fire. This specific requirement blocks him for the long period of time.

And so, upon seeing that Cole is currently receiving an inheritance of Phoenix, he already vow inside himself that he will make him recieve his Master's inheritance and be his guardian. He will become his protector until Cole reach the greater heights and no longer needed him. This... as long Cole accept Divine Alchemist Phoebe's inheritance.

Half an hour later, there were no more black smoke rising from Cole's remaining existence and contracted summons. As of now, they finally reached the purest state the heat can achieved.

Suddenly, the transparent flame that only have green edges turn wholly into green flame. Then, the unbearable heat vanish and a soothing aura replace. In the next instant, the burning hell-like feeling vanish and was replaced with something incredible. Their spot soon turn into little paradise as the spiritual energy in the surrounding gathered inside the area near Cole.

On the outside, as though the plants were injected with hormone, grow wildly and wasn't before long and the place turn into a virgin forest. Only, since they were inside a medicinal garden, every plants thay receive the boost was those with medicinal effects and values. And what should've take hundreds, if not thousand, of years happens in an instant.

What's more, they were also turn into more special and powerful on the same level herbs. Their efficacy increased by manyfolds.

After a while, when the spiritual energy near Cole reached a certain level and thickness, it immediately converse and cover Cole's Dantian Field, Sea of Consciousness and remaining essence, which is the orb of blood.

And the result of that process was a pristine white egg with the same size of those quail'. What's happening inside of this small egg was Cole's body reformation.

After being covered with the eggshell made of rich spiritual energy, both the orb of Dantian Field and Sea of Consciousness drill and fuse with the orb of blood essence. Instantly, Cole's orb essence trembles as though it receives something very crucial. It then wriggle for some moments until it turns into an embryo.

After the small lump of meat was formed, the spiritual energy in the surrounding boil once again and madly flow towards the small egg like a huge flood. Gradually, the embryo get enlarged along with the spiritual shell that covers it.

From the size of quail egg, it enlarge into the size of ping-pong ball then chicken egg size to ostrich egg size. But the size enlargement didn't stop from that.

However, every process and small enlargement needs a huge amount of spiritual energy. It wasn't before long and the rich amount of spiritual energy inside the medicinal garden is near to be depleted.

"Impossible..." Divinre mutter as he felt this certain condition.

This medicinal garden was created by a Divine Alchemist and everything inside was very precious. The spiritual energy concentration inside, despite being absorb and supports many medicinal herbs and ingredients, didn't get depleted even after so many years.

To think that will get soon depleted by a mere Nascent Soul-Stage human cultivator...

Divinre sigh before he send his consciousness back inside his own spatial storage to take out his own reserves of spiritual stone. No matter what, he can't let the spiritual energy of this medicinal garden to be so thin or else, many of the medicinal herbs inside will be wilted due to lack of nutrition. This move of his won't only help situation of the medicinal garden, it will also aid his prospect inheritor for his former Master.

But suddenly... he felt a spatial vibration in the air which immediately prompt him to raise his head and guards what's on the other side.

At first, Divinre thought that a powerhouse sense what's happening in their location since only those with powerful levels capable of tearing the spatial restrictions of this medicinal garden. However, when he felt the rich amount of spiritual energy streaming out of it, he knew that this should have something to do with the one inside the pristine egg...
