Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang.

The scene he just perceived made the "National Master" look confused and astonished.

"The big-faced thief actually confronted the Nathan Sacred Tree."

"Although I have never fought against the sacred tree, from what I know now, the sacred tree is very special. It may even be the strongest opponent that the big-faced thief has ever encountered."

"Fighting against an opponent like this will definitely bring a lot of uncertainty. I wonder if I will have a chance?"

The "National Master" had second thoughts, but he would not go so far as to help the sacred tree deal with Zhang Zhiwei.

After all, it and Zhang Zhiwei are one, and they prosper and suffer together.

Even if Zhang Zhiwei encountered a crisis, it would still provide all possible assistance, but this would not prevent it from taking advantage of the situation afterwards.

Of course, everything depends on whether Zhang Zhiwei gives it this opportunity.

"Let's lie dormant for a while and see how things develop. A gentleman hides his weapons and waits for the right time to act. Don't act too hastily!"

The 'National Master' is still very confident in his own wisdom. He thinks he is very clever and any other inner demon would have been eliminated long ago.

The "National Master" glanced in the direction of King Nathan and the Nathan Guards, ignored them, raised his hand and a bolt of lightning struck the stone dog that was running towards him, then he moved and disappeared from here.

In the golden sphere, a puff of green smoke came out of the magic mirror, and the picture inside completely disappeared.

"Alas, why can't the deputy leader tell friend from foe?" Lu Jin slapped his thigh in anger.

The battle just now was exciting, but Isaac's mental strength has not fully recovered after being transformed into a stone dog through transfiguration, so the stone dog's ability is very weak.

The battle between the "National Master" and Thorin was extremely fierce, and the collision was almost invisible to the naked eye, so it was almost impossible to capture any valuable battle scenes.

A wonderful battle was clearly right before their eyes, but they could only see a blurry picture, and everyone felt as if a cat was scratching them in their hearts.

"Wait a minute," Tian Jinzhong suddenly pointed ahead and said, "Look, my brother just walked into that big pit!"

Everyone turned their heads quickly and saw that Zhang Zhiwei was no longer in front of them.

"Shit, I was just paying attention to the situation over there with the deputy leader. Wasn't Senior Brother Zhang standing on the edge of the pit looking down? How come he went down in the blink of an eye?" Lu Ci was shocked.

"Hurry, hurry, let's go over and take a look!" Tian Jinzhong said hurriedly.

Immediately, a group of people worked together to step on the golden ball, crushing countless tree man's broken limbs and arms, and rolled quickly towards the big pit.

the other side.

Sensing that Thorin's life force was gone, the calm and composed King Nathan could no longer hold back. His face twisted, tears burst out, and he choked and said:
"Thorin...he has returned to the sacred tree!"

In fact, even without King Nathan telling him, the other Nathan guards had noticed it, because the white light that enveloped the surroundings dissipated, not slowly, but suddenly collapsed.

This layer of white light was arranged by Thorin to protect King Nathan. Now the king is still there and the white light has dissipated. It is highly likely that Thorin has met with an accident.

"King, even though Thorin used magic and gained such powerful strength, he still couldn't win. He couldn't even force the leader Tiantong to take action himself. The difference in our strength is too great!"

Ort collapsed to the ground, looking desperate and said, "King, I know I shouldn't say this, but I really can't help but say it. I am extremely ashamed. I am a descendant of gods, the descendant of the legendary god Zeus, but when I faced the enemy's strength, I felt fear."

"Yes, fear. This feeling I have never had before deeply affects me now. When I think about facing that terrifying existence, my heart trembles and my hands and feet shake."

"I am an unqualified divine guard. Facing an enemy like that, I can't protect anything, let alone the divine tree!"

Alton spoke his heart out, tears streaming down his face as he spoke.

"Asshole, has your will to protect the sacred tree wavered?" Nathan Weitarn, who was using the rune, grabbed Orton's collar and said angrily.

Orton said: "No, my determination to protect the sacred tree has not wavered. Even if I have to sacrifice myself for the sacred tree, I will not hesitate for a moment."

"But I was very scared to face the Tiantong Sect Leader. When I thought about dealing with him, I even thought about committing suicide."

Orton's mentality collapsed. He was the only one among the several Nathanwei present who had faced Zhang Zhiwei directly.

Zhang Zhiwei's aura, which was almost like a natural disaster, was deeply imprinted in his heart, and the psychological shadow it left on him was almost as great as his inner demon.

It is even more serious than the inner demon. After all, the inner demon can be defeated, but the mark left by Zhang Zhiwei in his heart is invincible unless he lets it go.

After hearing Alton's cowardly words, Tarn was so angry that he pushed him to the ground and said angrily: "You are a coward!"

Alton said: "Maybe you are right, but there is actually no difference between these two choices. It's both death!"

King Nathan said, "Stop arguing. It's normal to be afraid. Facing such a powerful being, I am also afraid, but we don't need to doubt ourselves."

"Whether it's Thorin, Alton, or even the deceased Lazar, no matter what their mental journey was."

"But our determination to sacrifice everything for the sacred tree will never waver for even a moment. There is no need to doubt this. There is no need to doubt it."

"The Tiantong Sect Master has already gone to the sacred tree. It is meaningless for us to continue staying outside. Let's go to the sacred tree and live and die with it!"

After saying that, his body twisted and disappeared on the spot.

Several Nasen guards were silent for a moment, then used teleportation to leave one after another and came to the bottom of the big pit, next to the real body of the sacred tree.

Several Nasen Guards looked at everything around them in amazement. Although they were Nasen Guards, they had never come into contact with the sacred tree or the real tree. Everything before them was strange and terrifying to them.

They were in a forest-like root system, but the scary thing was that these roots were all in human shape.

Their legs grew underground, their heads were connected to huge tree trunks, and their human faces protruded from the roots. They looked particularly hideous, and they were still groaning unconsciously.

Seeing this scene, the Nasenwei were suffocated for a moment, but they soon realized that these tree roots were the Nasenwei who had passed away in the past and were also their future.

Even though they were killed several times by the Tiantong Sect Leader, they are one with the sacred tree. As long as the sacred tree is not destroyed, they will be like weeds that cannot be burned by fire and will constantly wake up when the spring breeze blows deeper.

However, this awakening would consume the power of the sacred tree. Perhaps after trying twice, the sacred tree found that these tree people had little effect on the leader of Tiantong, so it stopped.

"Thorin is dead, will he... be here?" Alton stuttered.

Although his belief in the sacred tree has not changed, everything here still makes him uncomfortable. When he thinks that he will become like this after his death, he becomes terrified. He would rather end it all and sleep forever. However, paradoxically, he also wants to see his deceased companions here.

King Nathan said: "Although the enemy has shattered Thorin's body, the sacred tree still retains his soul. He is still here. Not only him, but also the dead Lazar is here!" He led everyone to shuttle through the roots of the sacred tree. Every time he passed a tree man, he would nod to the tree man.

Some tree people would nod in response, some would look excited, and more would just groan to themselves and ignore them.

After passing through many tree people, they saw the dead Lazar, Thorin, and Kate at the outermost edge of the tree roots.

Kate was the Nasenwei who had fought with Lu Ci before. Lu Ci did not kill him on the spot, but due to his serious injuries, he had returned to the embrace of the tree.

They all turned into tree people and became the roots of the sacred tree. At this moment, their eyes were dull and their expressions were sluggish.

However, when they saw King Nathan and others, a hint of clarity appeared in their dull eyes.

After turning into tree people, they lost a lot of memories, but they had been tree people for a short time, so the wear and tear was not serious, and they still remembered some memories.

And allegiance to the King and the Allegiance Tree is the will engraved deep in their souls, and they still remember King Nathan.

"King, we failed!" The three tree people cried bitterly, and the scene seemed a little eerie and weird.

"It's not your fault, the enemy is too powerful!" King Nathan said crying.

Several other Nathan guards also started crying.

The reason they cried was not only because of sadness and helplessness, but also because of the confusion and helplessness that their own beliefs and the world they protect are about to be overthrown.

"No one can tell what Nason Island will be like in the future. Who knows, before long, we will all come in to accompany you, and we will all be reunited here." King Nason said with a smile.

"That sacred tree..." Alton hesitated. He wanted to ask what would happen if the sacred tree was destroyed. Would they still be here? But this was too outrageous, so he couldn't say it.

King Nathan understood what he was thinking and said firmly, "No, the sacred tree will live forever. Even if we all die, Nathan will continue to exist."

At this moment, they heard a voice resounding, breaking the atmosphere here.

"Hello, sacred tree!"

The sound came from the upper side. The sacred tree was very large, and its roots covered almost the entire Nason Island. They were currently at the core of the sacred tree's roots.

And that voice came from the roots of the sacred tree. They had not heard this voice many times, but the impression it left in their hearts was extremely deep, because it was the voice of the Tiantong Sect Master.

King Nathan and the Nathan guards suddenly became solemn, stopped talking, and listened quietly to the movements above.

In front of the roots of the sacred tree, Zhang Zhiwei stared at the sacred tree quietly. Before coming in, he thought that the sacred tree looked indescribable.

But in fact, the sacred tree looks very sacred. The golden trunk is covered with scaly patterns, and old roots as twisted as dragons are breaking out of the ground. The whole tree emits a light golden light. Except for being bare without leaves, anyone who sees it will have to exclaim that it is a sacred tree.

After Zhang Zhiwei entered the pit, the mental confrontation between him and the sacred tree stopped, and he was the first to speak and greet it.

He thought that the sacred tree would not respond to his greeting, just like the previous spiritual confrontations, but strangely, the sacred tree responded to him:

"Hello, the strong man from Tianshi Mansion!"

"You know Tianshi Mansion?" Zhang Zhiwei was quite surprised.

"I know the Heavenly Master. His Qi is too strong in you. You are his guard!" The voice of the Divine Tree was quite low, giving people the feeling of a wise old man.

The words of the sacred tree did not stir any waves in Zhang Zhiwei's heart. He had known these things for a long time. The Heavenly Master was like King Nathan.

Aren't those who have been granted the power of thunder equivalent to Nasenwei? Or even better.

He should be considered a branch breaker because he already has the qualifications to become a Heavenly Master.

Zhang Zhiwei does not reject these, or rather, he does not care too much about them.

As for the Heavenly Master mentioned by the sacred tree, Zhang Zhiwei did not think it was his master Zhang Jingqing, but rather the Heavenly Master of previous generations, or the ancestor Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling.

At the same time, Lu Jin, Lu Ci and others also stepped on the golden ball and came to the edge of the pit.

"Fuck it! Brake! Brake quickly! Don't rush into the pit and mess up Senior Brother Zhang!"

Several people worked in a hurry and finally stopped the golden ball at the edge of the pit.

Then they heard Zhang Zhiwei speaking, and they immediately held their breath and pricked up their ears, trying not to miss a single word.

After listening to a few words, Tian Jinzhong was puzzled and asked, "Strange, what are you talking about to yourself, brother?"

"It doesn't seem like he's talking to himself, it's more like he's talking to someone, but we can't hear it," Isaac said.

Gellert said in surprise, "The sacred tree. In this scene, the only one that can talk to him is the sacred tree. When I came to the island, I learned that the sacred tree cannot speak. All the oracles of the sacred tree are issued by King Nathan. It seems that he can talk to the sacred tree just like King Nathan."

Isaac said: "Maybe it's not that Zhang and King Nathan can talk to the sacred tree, but that the sacred tree is unwilling to talk to us."

The facts were indeed as Isaac expected, because even King Nathan and the Nathan Guards could not hear what the sacred tree said.

Below, the conversation between Zhang Zhiwei and the sacred tree continues.

"What is your relationship with the Heavenly Master?" Zhang Zhiwei asked.

"Do you want to know about the Heavenly Master? I can tell you!" the sacred tree said slowly.

Zhang Zhiwei glanced at the roots of the sacred tree. His eyes passed through the soil and the roots and saw King Nathan and the Nathan Guards below, as well as the densely packed, hideous and terrifying tree men.

The sacred tree noticed Zhang Zhiwei's gaze and said calmly:

"I am a tree. Trees are like this. The more they yearn for the light above, the deeper their roots will go, toward the soil and the depths of darkness."

“Although the manifestations are different, whether it is the Heavenly Master or others, the essence is the same.”

"I see!" Zhang Zhiwei nodded and said, "I love listening to gossip and stories. How about you tell me about my ancestor, the Heavenly Master?"

"Some things are hard to say," the branches of the sacred tree swayed, and a huge golden branch fell in front of Zhang Zhiwei: "Everything you want to know is in it. If you want to know, go and see it yourself!" (End of this chapter)
