Evolution From the Big Tree

As Yu Zi Yu’s thoughts shifted, his perception expanded outward.

Moments later, in a distant Small World, he caught sight of Nana.

This particular world was the Realm of Darkness—one of the most unique realms within the Nine Realms, paired with its counterpart, the Realm of Light.

In the Realm of Darkness, night reigned eternal. Meanwhile, the Realm of Light basked in endless day.

However, the darkness was not absolute. A luminous Moon always hung in the night sky, its gentle glow casting a serene light across the land, dispelling the shadows.

To call it ‘perpetual night’ would not be entirely accurate—perhaps ‘moonlit night’ would be more fitting.

And now, in a corner of this moonlit night, a slender figure leaned quietly against a Silver Moon Tree.

She was an exceptionally beautiful young girl, her short, ear-length hair framing her face, and dressed in an exotic, luxurious robe. Two black ribbons floated behind her, gently swaying with the breeze.

At the center of her forehead was a radiant Moon Mark—a Crescent Moon, unlike the Full Moon Mark of the Silvermoon Heavenly Wolf, hers gleamed even more brightly.

On the back of her hand, a star-shaped mark flickered with light, adding to her mystique.

Reaper of Stars and Moon—This was not only a title but also a form of inheritance.

The Moon Mark on her forehead and the Star Mark on her hand represented a terrifying power.

But that was not all.

If one looked closely at the girl, they would notice her slender fingers toying with several daggers.

As the daggers spun, the sharp edges of the daggers gleamed under the moonlight, like graceful butterflies dancing between her fingertips.

Just then, as if sensing something, the girl in the moonlit night suddenly froze.

“The Divine Tree is calling ‘me’!?” In a soft whisper, a hint of confusion appeared on the girl’s face.

Up until now, she had only seen the Divine Tree once. However, that single encounter was something she would never forget for the rest of her life.

It was the first time she saw a Tree so huge that it seemed as if it was supporting the entire starry sky. Nine stars revolved around it, flickering in and out of sight. Its branches, glowing like mystical divine chains, swayed gently, casting down divine radiance. ṙΑꞐô𐌱Ɛ𐌔

And that was the Lord of the Demon Court—the Divine Tree, the most terrifying and revered being.

And now, that great being was calling for her.

*Haaaaa…* Letting out a soft breath and suppressing the tension in her heart, Nana lightly tapped her toes, vanishing into the depths of the moonlit night in the blink of an eye…

…

Not long after this…

“Nana, pays her respects to the Divine Tree…”A frigid cold voice suddenly echoed beside Yu Zi Yu’s ear.

“Mhmm…” Nodding slightly, Yu Zi Yu lifted his eyes, glancing at the girl who had just appeared nearby.

[Amazing, she is like a dancer under the moonlight, radiating an extraordinary charm, really beautiful. But, now’s not the time to focus on such things…]

After a moment of contemplation, Yu Zi Yu gently waved a branch, pointing to Zi Lian, standing not far away, and introduced, “This is Zi Lian, the Leader of the Seven Shadows Assassins.”

“Ah…” Nana was momentarily stunned, caught off guard.

But the next moment, realizing her lapse in composure, she immediately bowed respectfully and greeted, “Nana greets the Leader…”

“En…” Zi Lian responded, and only then did he truly scrutinize this girl who had suddenly appeared.

[Indeed, just as Master said, she is an exceptional assassin] Her temperament aside, just her stance while standing on the ground was anything but ordinary. Like a beast ready to strike at any moment, she is always ready to act at a moment’s notice.]

This was not something Nana was doing deliberately. It was a natural instinct to her.

Ordinary people would not notice this, but as a natural-born assassin, Zi Lian recognized it in an instant.

“This is the scent of a kindred spirit…” muttering to himself, Zi Lian no longer concealed her presence.

*Booooom…* Suddenly, a frigid aura erupted from Zi Lian. In an instant, Nana’s body tensed up, beads of sweat quickly forming on her forehead.

RIght then…

“Kill…” A shout, like a warning, echoed, as Zi Lian transformed into a streak of purple light, charging straight at Nana.

*Clang…* Sparks flew as the loud, reverberating sound of metal clashing rang out.

If one looked toward the source of the sound, they would see a silver-white dagger blocking Zi Lian’s scythe-like arm.

“Not bad…” Zi Lian praised silently in his heart, but instead of retreating, he pressed forward. His arms turned into blades, attacking Nana with fierce precision.

In fact, Zi Lian only unleashed the strength comparable to a Tier-4 Transcendent, as Nana was currently only at Tier-4.

If Zi Lian attacked with the strength of a Tier-5 Transcendent, he could certainly kill Nana with one strike, but that would defeat the purpose of this ‘guidance.’

That’s right, guidance, not spar. For Zi Lian, true guidance came through combat.

At this point, Nana also seemed to have realized Zi Lian’s intentions. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and numerous daggers began to float around her.

Her movements, like a dancer under the moonlight, suddenly became graceful.

Her movements were breathtaking, like a dance, yet the killing intent growing within her became even more concentrated.

Reaper of Stars and Moon! In the previous era, this title symbolized the pinnacle of assassins, the ability to harness killing intent.

The more terrifying the killing intent, the more fearsome the combat prowess.

And now, Nana was gradually entering a state known as ‘Awakening.’

In that state, she would transform into a true Assassin King, turning the act of assassination into an art.

…

“What a terrifying clash…” Yu Zi Yu mumbled in admiration, a smile could not help but appear on his lips, watching the battle unfold in the distance, where even their figures were barely visible. [They really deserved to be the two top assassins of the Demon Court.]

Their battle was truly terrifying. An invisible killing intent filled the air.

One was like a dancer under the Moon, turning slaughter into art. The other, a natural-born hunter at the top of the food chain, fully engaged his sixth sense while obeying his primal instincts.

*Clang, clang, clang…* The sound of collisions, like raindrops, echoed repeatedly in the depths of the Realm of Life.

Yet, neither figure was visible, all that was visible were the claw marks and blade slashes on the ground the trees.

Compared to battles between other powerhouses, this was not a clash of earth-shattering forces, nor something that would make everyone tremble.

However, a keen observer would recognize that this duel was far more lethal.

One wrong move, just one wrong move and blood would spill from the throat or the heart would be pierced.

Assassins, their goal was always a fatal strike.

The kind of terrifying shockwaves that spread for kilometers were, in their eyes, a waste of power.

…

Suddenly…

“Moonwheel Dance…” a soft whisper lingered in the air, like a prelude.

In an instant, under Yu Zi Yu’s admiring gaze, Nana’s speed surged once more, nearing the strength of Tier-5.

More terrifyingly, her daggers, now coated in moonlight, wove together through the air.

In the blink of an eye, the entire battlefield was bathed in moonlight.

Yet, each of those stunning beams of moonlight was actually a deadly blade, enough to kill an ordinary Tier-4 Transcendent.
