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

"The sacred tree was not completely burned to death? Can it be revived by King Nathan and the Nathan Guards?"

Everyone was shocked, and then they all looked at King Nathan and the Nathan guards.

Lu Ci scratched his neck with his hand and said harshly:

"Then why don't we just kill King Nathan and the Nathan Guards?"

Lu Jin looked at Lu Ci and his eyes flickered, but he did not have any objection. If there was no root of the sacred tree in their bodies, he would definitely have objections, but since they were parasitized, it would depend on how Senior Brother Zhang dealt with it. After all, he had seen how powerful and weird the sacred tree was, and he would not be soft-hearted in such a matter.

Tian Jinzhong didn't say anything, but just looked at Zhang Zhiwei silently. His senior brother's opinion was his opinion.

"That's not a good idea!" Isaac said after a pause.

After the sacred tree was burned, King Nathan and his guards collapsed to the ground, almost in a state of collapse. They had no power to resist, which was tantamount to surrender. He really could not think of any reason to kill King Nathan and those Nathan guards.

"It's better to destroy this evil thing!"

Gellert expressed his opinion. He was still frightened when he thought about how he almost became a puppet possessed by the sacred tree. It would be better to destroy such an uncontrollable thing.

Zhang Zhiwei did not respond to the opinions of the crowd, but just looked at King Nathan and Nathan Wei quietly, wanting to see what the sacred tree would do next.

However, even after the secret was revealed, the sacred tree did not take any action.

However, King Nathan and Nathan Wei were very sharp-eared. After hearing the news that the sacred tree might not be dead, they instantly cheered up and began to use the ability bestowed upon them by the sacred tree - teleportation.

They cannot communicate with the sacred tree directly, but teleportation is the authority granted to them by the sacred tree. If they can still use it, it means that the sacred tree is still there.

But soon, the hope on their faces turned into despair. The ability to teleport disappeared. Not only that, King Nathan's ability to sense the entire island also disappeared. They lost their authority as kings and guards.

This situation has never happened before. There must be something wrong with the sacred tree.

"Brother, looking at their current reaction, is the sacred tree still pretending to be dead?" Tian Jinzhong said.

"No matter whether he is pretending or not, since we have already formed a grudge, it is better to cut the grass and eradicate it. Brother Zhang, do you want to kill him?" Lu Ci asked.

Zhang Zhiwei shook his head: "There is no point in killing them. The sacred tree can parasitize on King Nasen and Nasen Guards, and it can also parasitize on all the gods and people on Nasen Island. We can't kill everyone on Nasen Island!"

Lu Ci was silent. Even for someone as cruel as him, it was difficult for him to say that he would kill all the people on the island. After all, strictly speaking, there was no such deep grudge between the sacred tree and them.

Isaac said, "We definitely can't do that. Although many of the aliens who fled to Nasen Island are extremely evil and are not tolerated by the outside world, it is not excessive to kill them, but the native people of Nasen Island are innocent and they should not be involved."

"I think so too!" Lu Jin said.

"Me too!" said Tian Jinzhong.

Zhang Zhiwei nodded and said, "You are right. They have no hatred or grudges against us, so we really shouldn't get involved with them. And maybe the sacred tree has its own saplings left somewhere else."

"The most important thing is that the purpose of my trip was just to meet the God Tree, the highest masterpiece of the alchemy system. We could have a discussion or a fight. But for some reason, we came face to face."

This was indeed the purpose of Zhang Zhiwei's trip. In fact, there were similar sacred trees in Shenzhou, such as the sacred fire of the Huode Sect.

It's just that Huode Sect has a very good relationship with Tianshi Mansion, and Huode Sect has a good reputation in the martial arts world, so there's really no need for him to come and challenge them.
That's right, it's a challenge. If you show up at a sect's door without permission and want to see its background, whether it's in the name of visiting, asking for advice, or communicating, it's essentially a challenge. But there is no such concern when you come to Nasen Island.

After hearing Zhang Zhiwei's words, Isaac, who had been arguing just now, lowered his head. The reason for the direct conflict between Zhang Zhiwei and the sacred tree was him. Zhang confronted the sacred tree in order to expel the golden branch in his body, which triggered this battle.

"We can't kill it, and we can't destroy it. So what should we do now?" Lu Ci asked.

"Brother Zhang, didn't you come to Nasen Island just to experience the power of the sacred tree? Now that you have experienced it, let's just go." Lu Jin said.

Zhang Zhiwei said, "It's possible to just leave, but that would mean I'm releasing the sacred tree. It's not a pleasant feeling to be tricked."

During the battle with the sacred tree, he also got a glimpse of some of the sacred tree's thoughts. Combining this with the current situation, he has figured out the specific intention of the sacred tree, which is that it wants to use this to escape.

The sacred tree should be escaped in the Nathan Island chapter of the story. Zhang Zhiwei does not want to advance it, not because he is worried about anything, but from the current situation, the sacred tree is not a very good thing.

Others did not understand what Zhang Zhiwei said, and hurriedly asked what was going on. What did it mean to be plotted against and tricked? And why did they say to release the sacred tree?
Including King Nathan and Nathan Wei, they all looked puzzled.

Zhang Zhiwei, who never answers riddles, explained: "When the sacred tree was at its peak, it fought a decisive battle with the Roman Empire, which was also at its peak."

"As a result of the battle, the Roman Empire declined, and the sacred tree was exiled here, never to return to the mainland again."

"If you were a sacred tree, would you be willing to stay here forever?" Zhang Zhiwei asked everyone.

Everyone shook their heads quickly. Of course they were unwilling to accept this. Isn't this equivalent to going to jail? !
Zhang Zhiwei continued, "The sacred tree naturally wants to get out, but it can't. Although the Roman Empire has fallen, the alien forces that exiled it are still there, and these forces are still blocking it."

"You can only enter Nasen Island, but you cannot leave. Once you leave, you will be hunted down. It and its minions are sealed here."

"Although the sacred tree is so powerful, if it dares to cross the sea in its original form, it will definitely be blocked by some powerful beings. So, it thought of a way to escape from the current step by faking its death."

"To achieve this, the animal must die in a reasonable way, and after it dies, its seeds must be able to leave Nathan Island."

"So, it made a fuss about what happened to me in the Magic City and created a series of incidents, using its many gods and people as bait to attract many countries that wanted to recruit them to the island."

"At this time, its plan should be to wait for the people of those countries to arrive on the island, and then use its own will to influence the people of God, so that they would rather die than surrender and violently resist, thereby angering the countries that arrived on the island, so that they will send troops to attack by force."

"And the ending it planned for itself was to be burned in this battle, and its guards and gods would be incorporated along with its seeds."

"Because they have been incorporated into the national army, even if the alien forces that previously blocked Nasen Island wanted to kill a thousand by mistake rather than let one go, the army would not let them do so."

"Then it can completely escape from Nason Island, and the sea will be wide enough for fish to leap and the sky will be high enough for birds to fly. After that, it can continue to return in the form of the Nason sacred tree, or it can make a comeback in a different form."

"But this plan has great uncertainty, because there will definitely be forces that have blocked it in the past to obstruct it, and it can only guide it secretly and cannot intervene directly."

"But plans can't keep up with changes because I went to the island."

"As soon as I landed on the island, the sacred tree sensed me. Perhaps from that moment on, the sacred tree changed its original plan."

"Compared to dying at the hands of the army, dying at my hands is much simpler and more straightforward, and it's also more reasonable."

"So, it sent out the Nasen Guards to lead me here, and constantly used spiritual infection to shock me, asking me to fight it and burn it to death, sending it off with a bang." "And after I eradicated it, the gods and people of Nasen Island lost their faith and were on the verge of collapse and despair. At this time, the outside countries could easily recruit them into the army when they entered the island."

"These people will carry its seeds to various parts of the world. During this process, even if the forces that previously blocked it want to take action, the national forces that have incorporated the gods' people will not agree."

“At this point, it can achieve new life.”

After hearing what Zhang Zhiwei said, everyone looked incredulous.

In fact, in the later Nathan Island plot, the sacred tree did indeed do as Zhang Zhiwei said, except that Zhang Zhiwei was replaced by the modern American Inhuman organization Behemoth.

Similarly, the organization that wanted to recruit the aliens on Nasen Island also changed from a multinational army to a single United States organization.

"This tree is so scary. I wonder what will happen if it goes out?!" Isaac exclaimed.

The tree is scary, but the guy in front of him is even scarier... Gellert glanced at Zhang Zhiwei, not daring to say it out loud, and only dared to complain in his heart.

Lu Jin exclaimed: "It's really scary. A tree can actually have such a meticulous mind? These things sound very complicated. How can it actually do this?"

Tian Jinzhong said proudly: "No matter how careful he was, he was still seen through by my senior brother, right?"

Lu Ci looked at Zhang Zhiwei suspiciously: "If that's the case, then Senior Brother Zhang's thoughts are more meticulous than that sacred tree?"

What he admired was Zhang Zhiwei's martial arts, but not his wisdom. Now Senior Brother Zhang, who was as smart as a god, seemed very unfamiliar to him!
Zhang Zhiwei looked at Lu Ci: "What do you mean by that look? Don't you believe it?"

"I..." Lu Ci opened his mouth, and recalled the pain of being dominated by Zhang Zhiwei's brain collapse, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "Believe it, I believe it too much!"

At this time, Lu Jin couldn't help but ask: "Brother Zhang, you can figure this out, is there any expert who can give you some advice?"

Zhang Zhiwei patted his shoulder and said, "You will know in the future that my wisdom is not inferior to my force, but I just don't use it normally."

Lu Ci: “…………”

Lu Jin: “…………”

It is still hard to believe that Senior Brother Zhang is a man of both wisdom and courage.

"Zhang, what should we do with the sacred tree now?" Isaac asked.

"Do you know which forces are targeting Nason Island?" Zhang Zhiwei asked.

Isaac said: "Nason Island is a very small force in the West. Before this incident, not many people outside knew about it. However, whether it is the Wizard Academy, the Emerald Society, or the Church of God, they all regard them as heretics."

"These forces are all related to the former Roman Empire. Shenshu, it seems you have many enemies!" Zhang Zhiwei said casually. He knew that Shenshu could actually hear him.

He continued, "Shenshu, I've said so much, why don't you come out and see me? If you continue to be a coward, I will let the news out that you are not dead!"

After saying this, the sacred tree still did not show up.

Lu Jin, Lu Ci and Tian Jinzhong looked at each other and thought that they were just admiring the wisdom and meticulousness of the sacred tree, but now it seems not so good?

How could he not know Brother Zhang's methods? If he really wanted to spread them, it would not take long for the sailors loading the ships outside to know about them.

But when they thought about it carefully, it seemed to make no difference whether the sacred tree appeared or not.

Anyway, no matter what, Senior Brother Zhang’s big mouth will shake it out.

Zhang Zhiwei didn't know what Lu Jin and the others were thinking, so he continued to talk:

"Then, I will block the entire island and prevent any of your people from leaving. I will continue to lock you up on this island and make all your plans go to waste."

"Maybe you'll think I'm not that free to spend time dealing with you, but have you gotten there?"

Zhang Zhiwei pointed to the hiding place of the "National Master" and said, "I can leave it here. Do you think it is qualified? "

As soon as these words were spoken, King Nathan's whole body shook, as if an electric current passed through his body. A new bud with golden light emerged from the palm of his hand, and it looked exactly like the golden branch of the sacred tree before.

"What exactly do you want?"

A low and hoarse voice appeared in Zhang Zhiwei's mind. It was the sacred tree speaking, but no one else could hear it.

"What about what you wanted to say before?" Zhang Zhiwei asked.

"I won't tell you anything unless you enter it. Once you enter, you will know it yourself and I won't need to tell you." said the sacred tree.

There are some things that other people cannot say because there are restrictions, but there are no restrictions on the sacred tree. It itself is an existence that imposes restrictions on others.

The reason why I don’t say it is not because I can’t say it, but because I dare not say it.

If I don't say anything, I can still communicate well with the guy in front of me.

If it said too much, it couldn't guarantee that the other party would not be determined to get rid of it.

"It's so mysterious, just forget it if you don't want to talk about it."

Zhang Zhiwei did not force some things. The reason he asked was purely out of curiosity. After all, people with big mouths are curious. If they were not curious, there would be nothing to talk about.

"You just asked me what I wanted..."

Zhang Zhiwei thought about it and realized that he had no intention of destroying the sacred tree. It was not because he had other considerations, but because it was difficult to destroy it. He couldn't really kill all the people on Nasen Island.

But just leaving it like this would not work. He would not let the sacred tree leave. It would be okay to keep it as it was, but he suddenly thought of a way.

"It is impolite not to reciprocate. Previously, you extended an olive branch to me, asking me to accept your golden branch and become the King of Nathan. Now, I extend an olive branch to you as well."

Zhang Zhiwei stretched out his hand, and a list gleaming with golden light appeared in his hand:
"This is the list of our sect. Sign your name on it and I will make you the deputy sect leader." (End of this chapter)
