"Then how am I supposed to get you out?" the Supreme Dragon Emperor said helplessly.
Su Yang resisted the urge to commit murder. "You go in first, push my physical body into the World Tree, and bring it out along this branch. Then, pull my soul out, and that should do it!"
"Is that even possible?" the Supreme Dragon Emperor asked, skeptical. "Didn't you say your soul can't return to your body in there?"
"The soul can't return to the body because you're in the World Tree. If I went back to my body, the World Tree would revert to a soul form, and you'd be unable to reside within!" Su Yang explained. "But, I never said the body can't enter the World Tree, did I?"
Supreme Dragon Emperor asked, "Since that's the case, why didn't you send your body into the World Tree for cultivation earlier?"
"..." Su Yang was speechless. "My soul isn't in the body, how can I cultivate?"
"Uh..." the Supreme Dragon Emperor scratched his head, "You make a good point!"
"Enough nonsense, let's get moving!" Su Yang said angrily.
"Hey, can you at least show some basic respect to the strongest?" the Supreme Dragon Emperor retorted.
Su Yang replied, "Do you want me to beat you up after I ascend to the strongest rank?"
The Supreme Dragon Emperor jumped in fright and quickly smiled awkwardly, "No worries, with our relationship, who needs respect? Your problem is my problem, just wait, I'll definitely get it done for you!"
The Supreme Dragon Emperor followed the World Tree back into the black hole, brought Su Yang's physical body to the World Tree, and left the black hole's area along the World Tree.
Then, the Supreme Dragon Emperor went to grab the branch of the World Tree that extended out of the black hole, intending to pull the World Tree out.
The World Tree, transformed from Su Yang's soul, needed to be pulled out—Su Yang at last completely left the black hole's realm.
The Supreme Dragon Emperor initially thought it would be simple, but when it started pulling, it realized that something was amiss.
The World Tree seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, and it couldn't budge the World Tree an inch.
"What's happening?" The Supreme Dragon Emperor widened its eyes. "Can't move it!"
"The black hole's power is blocking it, put some more effort in!" Su Yang said.
"More effort? I'm already using all my strength!" the Supreme Dragon Emperor complained but did increase his power. Yet, the result was the same; it still couldn't move the World Tree an inch.
"Let me try!" Heaven Slayer flew over.
"You try it, I can't manage!" The Supreme Dragon Emperor felt aggrieved. "Never thought pulling a tree could be this troublesome. Su Alliance Leader, is this black hole reluctant to let you go?"
Su Yang: "..."
Heaven Slayer reached out, grabbed the protruding branch, and pulled hard. The World Tree swayed slightly, but still wasn't pulled out.
"Eh, you can't pull it either?" The Supreme Dragon Emperor laughed instantly. "Great, now I feel relieved. It's not just me who can't pull it out. Even you can't, so there's no embarrassment for me!"
Heaven Slayer ignored it, frowned, and said, "The black hole's power is strong. Looks like I can't do it alone; we need to try together!"
The others nodded one after another and flew over themselves, grabbing the branches of the World Tree from different directions.
"Dragon Emperor, what are you doing? Hurry up and help!" The Eternal Divine Emperor glanced at the Supreme Dragon Emperor. That guy was standing aside with hands behind his back, looking as if it had nothing to do with him.
"Do I need to join too?" The Supreme Dragon Emperor complained but still came over and reached out to grab the branch of the World Tree.
The combined effort finally moved the World Tree, slowly pushing it out.
No lie, the resistance of this black hole was indeed strong. Even with the cooperation of all the strongest from the Human Clan, they couldn't pull the World Tree out instantly—extremely difficult.
After taking a long time, when the power of several strongest was nearly spent, the World Tree was finally pulled out of the black hole.
Everyone immediately loosened their grip, collapsing on the side with gasping breaths. They'd exhausted so much strength on this trip.
"Never thought pulling out a tree would tire me out this much!" The Supreme Dragon Emperor laid on the ground, sticking out its tongue and fussing.
Su Yang ignored it, and the World Tree shrank and quickly merged into his body. Su Yang finally returned to normal.
Standing in the air, Su Yang took a deep breath and smiled, "Finally restored!"
Everyone else smiled as well, nodding. Su Yang had indeed sacrificed greatly for the Human Clan.
Su Yang was originally the most promising human to ascend to the strongest rank. As it turned out, now the Eternal Divine Emperor and others had all ascended to the strongest, but Su Yang hadn't yet, just to protect the Human Clan.
"Su Alliance Leader, thank you!" Heaven Slayer slightly bent forward in respect.
Other strongest also bent to express their thanks, while the other Human Clan members bent even lower, collectively saying, "Thank you, Su Alliance Leader!"
"No need for formalities, we're all members of the Human Clan, it's my duty!" Su Yang smiled. "Alright, now that everyone is out, let's accelerate cultivation. While those Heavenly Venerable are temporarily unable to come out from the black hole, let's first deal with the Guardian Gods, then figure out how to thwart the Heavenly Venerables!"
Everyone nodded in agreement with Su Yang's proposal, supporting it fully. After all, the situation of the Human Clan was clear.
Dealing with the Heavenly Venerables was definitely impossible. After all, the Heavenly Venerables stayed hidden within the black hole. Previously in the black hole, they couldn't deal with the Heavenly Venerables. Now outside the black hole, let alone thinking about dealing with the Heavenly Venerables.
Moreover, given their current strength status, dealing at this time with so many Heavenly Venerables was unrealistic. So, the best approach was to be tactical: while the Heavenly Venerables can't come out, eliminate those Guardian Gods first.
With the Guardian Gods gone, only a few Heavenly Venerables remain—then the Human Clan won't have any worries and can peacefully deal with these Heavenly Venerables.
Responding to Su Yang's proposal, everyone began cultivating in this area.
As for Su Yang, he flew above the Tai Chi Diagram, trying to touch the Tai Chi Diagram with his hand.
His body wouldn't corrode within the black hole, maybe it wouldn't corrode within this Tai Chi Diagram either.
And sure enough, Su Yang's guess was correct. His hand touched the Tai Chi Diagram without any damage, conversely feeling particularly soft, as if immersed in an especially warm environment.
Su Yang was surprised; he tried extending his whole arm inside.
Just like before, no pain, very comfortable.
Su Yang eventually immersed his entire body within the Tai Chi Diagram, feeling as if he were soaking in a hot spring, comfortably stretching every pore in his body.
