In the blink of an eye, another million years had passed. The Chaos Coin had beco increasingly widespread, perating every aspect of the Chaos World. Even if other gods were reluctant to use it, they could not resist the inevitable tide of fate.
So attempted to create their own currencies, but none could gain recognition. The Chaos Coin alone had ascended to the position of the universal equivalent, the singular currency acknowledged by all.
At this mont, deep within the space of the Chaos Orb, the World Tree, in the form of a young Loli, was diligently focused on restoring her leaves when she suddenly sensed an unimaginable force erging from the void.
"What... what is this?!"
Her eyes widened in astonishnt. Within the depths of her consciousness, she discovered a radiant cluster of golden light, emanating boundless energy.
It bore a striking resemblance to the legendary Light of rit.
When Gu Chuan created the Chaos Coin, he had naturally received the majority of the rit. However, the World Tree, which had provided the raw materials for its creation, was not forgotten by the Source of Chaos. Recognizing her contribution, it bestowed upon her a share of the Light of rit, which instantly fused into the depths of her sea of consciousness.
To Gu Chuan, this fraction of rit was insignificant. But to the World Tree—who had yet to attain enlightennt—it was an unfathomable gift.
"The Light of rit... It really is the Light of rit! I never imagined that I, the great World Tree, would one day receive such a blessing. Truly, I am the favored child of destiny!"
With hands on her hips, she burst into laughter, brimming with pride. Though she had no idea how she had obtained this divine radiance, that hardly mattered—she was basking in her own greatness.
Yet, the rit was not the only gift she received. A vast surge of void energy poured into her being, saturating every leaf, every branch, every root.
This energy was none other than the power of faith.
As the Chaos Coin had beco the recognized currency of the Chaos World, nearly every being possessed one, subconsciously entrusting a fragnt of their thoughts to it. Though their faith was not fervent, and the devotion of each individual was minuscule, the sheer scale of believers made up for it. Over countless ages, these trickles of faith converged into an overwhelming tide.
And unbeknownst to the other gods, all this accumulated faith flowed directly into the World Tree.
"What is this power? Why do I feel myself growing stronger?"
The World Tree Loli was bewildered. As the energy seeped into her being, she could feel it integrating into her very essence. Her roots, branches, and even the dinsional worlds within her leaves underwent a fundantal transformation.
The previously fragile dinsions began to form world barriers, evolving from illusion into reality.
With ti, these dinsions would no longer be re pocket realms—they would mature into independent worlds, and eventually, even great worlds.
This was an opportunity of unparalleled magnitude.
The path of the World Tree was inherently arduous. Despite her exceptional talent and imnse accumulation of energy, her advancent was far more difficult than that of other Chaos Demon Gods. It could take billions of epochs before she could hope to ascend.
But now, with this unexpected surge of faith, her progress had been accelerated beyond asure.
If she succeeded, she would imdiately stand among the ranks of the most powerful gods.
"Ooooh, my power... my magic power is rising endlessly!"
The World Tree Loli let out an excited scream, bursting into euphoric laughter. "Hahaha! As expected of , the greatest genius! I truly am the mightiest Demon God in Chaos!"
She could feel it—she was on the verge of enlightennt.
For most Demon Gods, the ability to create a world was sothing that could only be attained after achieving enlightennt. But the World Tree was different.
She was born with the power of creation. Worlds sprouted from her being as naturally as leaves on a tree.
Among all Demon Gods, her talent was unparalleled, her potential monstrous.
And the power of faith was the key to her evolution.
Faith was the will of all beings, the force that allowed worlds to grow and transform. It was this very power that now flowed into her, reshaping her existence.
Thus, as the dinsional worlds within her leaves evolved, so too did she.
Among the myriad Demon Gods of Chaos, the World Tree was uniquely suited to the path of faith.
Had she relied solely on her own power, it might have taken countless epochs before she could break through. But with Gu Chuan's intervention, she had received an opportunity of eternal significance—an era-spanning chance for transcendence.
If the other Chaos Demon Gods discovered this, their jealousy would know no bounds.
anwhile, within the Chaos Orb, other Lolis—such as the Star Tree, the Demon Tree, and the Starlight Grass—began to notice the changes within the World Tree.
"Look! The boss's aura... it's different!"
The Starlight Grass Loli was the first to speak.
"No way... Is the boss about to attain the Dao? Is she about to transcend?"
The Demon Tree Loli was stunned. She rembered how their boss had spent her days lazily napping, never bothering with cultivation. And now, out of nowhere, she was breaking through?
This was beyond absurd!
"It's so strange... The boss never showed signs of enlightennt before. Why now?"
The other Lolis were equally confused.
"I know!"
The Star Tree Loli suddenly shouted with conviction. "The boss must have gone bald!"
The other Lolis blinked in confusion.
"Think about it! If we plant-type Demon Gods want to gain enlightennt, we have to beco bald! Otherwise, how can we grow stronger?"
She sounded utterly convinced.
The others hesitated for a mont, then gasped in realization.
"Wait... you might be right! The boss was fine before, but now she's breaking through. The only explanation is that she's bald!"
"Could it be that the World Tree, after losing all her leaves, entered a Buddhist state, cutting away all worldly attachnts, and in that mont, achieved enlightennt?"
"Terrifying! The boss is terrifying! Even after being punished to go bald, she used it as an opportunity to attain the Dao. Truly worthy of the World Tree!"
"Hair is the thread of worldly attachnts. If one does not sever their ties to the mundane, how can they transcend?"
One by one, the Lolis ca to a startling realization.
"If we want to attain the Dao... we must also beco bald!"
A wave of solemn understanding spread through the group.
And thus, the legend of the Bald Enlightennt was born.
