One person: Reborn as Huangxian, seeking the title of Feng Baobao at the beginning
Chapter 261 King Nathan's Trust
The interior of the hall is dim and solemn. A few rays of sunlight shine through the tall windows and onto the ancient stone slabs, creating mottled light and shadows.
In the center of the hall sat a young girl, wearing a simple white dress, with long hair draped over her shoulders, and a depth in her eyes that did not match her age. This was the ruler of Nason Island, King Nason.
Huang Miao walked towards King Nathan with a smile, his steps light and firm, as if every step was based on the memory of history.
"Hello, King Nathan." He greeted, his voice gentle but powerful.
King Nathan raised his head and looked at Huang Miao with his clear eyes.
"Who are you? Why did you break into my hall?" Her voice was calm and cold, as if she was not interested in anything.
Huang Miao stopped and kept a certain distance from King Nasen as a sign of respect.
"I'm Huang Miao, the leader of the Quanxing Organization." He introduced himself, "I came here today to discuss a deal with you."
"Trade?" King Nathan raised his eyebrows slightly. "Our Nathan Island is self-sufficient and does not have much interaction with the outside world. What can you trade with us?"
Huang Miao smiled slightly. He knew it would not be easy to convince King Nathan.
"Although your Nasen Island is isolated from the outside world, the residents on the island are not free."
He said slowly, "They were endowed with divinity by the sacred tree, but at the same time they were deprived of their freedom. I think this is not the life they really want."
The girl was stunned when she heard this, then sneered: "Who do you think you are? Can you remove the restraints of the sacred tree? This is simply a huge joke!"
Huang Miao was unmoved. "Believe it or not. But I can tell you that this sacred tree is not as sacred as you think. It is just using you."
The girl stared at him with wide eyes, "You are talking nonsense! The sacred tree is the guardian of our Nasen Island! It gives us strength and life!"
“Bestowed?” Huang Miao laughed contemptuously, “That’s just an appearance. The truth is that it is absorbing your vitality and spiritual strength to maintain its own existence. You are just its sacrifice.”
These words made the girl fall into deep thought. Although she was unwilling to believe this fact, Huang Miao's words stirred waves in her heart.
If what he said was true, then wouldn't the residents of Nason Island have been deceived by the sacred tree?
"You can consider it." Huang Miao continued, "But my time is limited, so I won't wait too long."
When Queen Nason heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She didn't expect that this outsider knew so much about the situation on Nason Island. But she remained calm and asked calmly, "Then what can you do for us?"
"I can help you regain your freedom." Huang Miao's tone was full of confidence.
"I can extract the divinity bestowed upon you by the sacred tree, and allow you to regain the right to choose your own life."
King Nathan was silent for a moment, as if thinking about Huang Miao's proposal.
Then she slowly said: "Your proposal sounds tempting, but how do I know if you have the ability to do it?"
Huang Miao smiled and held out his hand, palm facing up. "You can try it," he said, "and feel my current strength."
Queen Nasen stared at Huang Miao's palm, as if she could feel the powerful force contained in it. She couldn't help but waver a little, but she still remained vigilant.
"Why should I believe you?" she asked.
"Because you have no better choice." Huang Miao said bluntly, "Besides, I believe that deep down in your heart you also long for freedom and long to break free from the constraints of the sacred tree."
"You know, King Nathan, the existence of this sacred tree may not be as sacred as you think."
Huang Miao stood in the center of the hall, looking at King Nathan with an indifferent expression. His voice echoed in the hall with an unquestionable majesty.
King Nathan frowned. She didn't understand why this outsider was so obsessed with the sacred tree.
"Why do you care so much about the sacred tree? What does it have to do with you?"
"Oh? Really?" Huang Miao smiled indifferently, "Then, if I say that someone on this island has become disloyal to the sacred tree, and even colluded with foreign enemies to harm the sacred tree, what would you think?"
Queen Nathan's expression changed instantly. She stood up suddenly and stared at Huang Miao sharply. "What did you say? This is impossible!"
"Impossible?" Huang Miao chuckled. "Then, where did this bullet come from?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, and in his palm lay the bullet that he had just blocked.
King Nathan and other Nathan guards gathered around to check the bullet. Their faces became serious because this bullet was obviously not something that could be made on the island.
"These are... bullets from Elijah's revolver!" exclaimed a Nathan guard.
“Elijah?” King Nathan’s expression suddenly turned extremely ugly. “How could he…”
"How could you betray us, right?" Huang Miao took over the conversation with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
"Unfortunately, this is the truth. Elijah has colluded with Behemoth Corporation and is preparing to attack the sacred tree."
"This is impossible!" King Nathan still found it hard to accept this fact. "Elijah is one of us. How could he..."
"The human heart is hard to predict, King Nathan." Huang Miao sighed, "Sometimes, in pursuit of greater benefits, people will make some unexpected choices."
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the hall. Then, Elijah appeared at the door of the hall, holding a revolver in his hand, pointing the muzzle at Huang Miao.
"Huang Miao! How dare you, an outsider, spread rumors and cause trouble here!" Elijah roared, "I am loyal to Nasen Island and the sacred tree, and I will never betray you!"
Huang Miao just smiled and shook his head. "Elijah, your loyalty is only superficial. The only people you are truly loyal to are yourself and your ambition."
"Bullshit!" Elijah roared and pulled the trigger. However, the bullet stopped in front of Huang Miao, as if blocked by an invisible force.
Huang Miao waved his hand lightly, and the bullet flew back into Elijah's hand.
"Do you see clearly? This is your bullet." He said calmly, "And you have been exposed."
Huang Miao turned around easily and faced the crowd in the hall, his eyes fixed on Elijah who had just fired the shot.
"Everyone, let me introduce you. This is the traitor on our island - Nathan Wei Elijah."
King Nathan and the other Nathan guards were stunned. They looked at Elijah in disbelief.
Elijah's face turned pale in an instant. He stared at Huang Miao with wide eyes, as if he wanted to say something, but his lips moved but no sound came out.
"What are you talking about? How could I be a traitor!" Elijah finally found his voice and retorted loudly. "Oh? Really?" Huang Miao chuckled and took out a small electronic device from his pocket, which displayed some data and pictures.
"This is the information I got from Behemoth Corporation. It seems that you have reached some kind of agreement with them and are preparing to attack the sacred tree."
King Nathan and other Nathan guards gathered around to look at the electronic device, and their faces became solemn.
Elijah's face became paler and paler. He knew that he was completely exposed.
"You...how do you know all this?" Elijah asked in a trembling voice.
"Haha, do you think your plan is perfect?" Huang Miao laughed sarcastically, "There is no impenetrable wall in this world. Your every move is under my control."
"You!" Elijah glared at Huang Miao. He knew he had nowhere to escape. However, he did not want to give up.
"So what if I'm a traitor? This sacred tree should have died long ago! It took away our freedom and made us its slaves!"
"Oh? So you're a hero who fights against oppression?"
Huang Miao raised his eyebrows and looked at Elijah, "What a pity, your method is too extreme. Besides, do you think that colluding with foreign enemies can solve the problem? How naive."
"Then what do you say we should do?" Elijah roared, "We have been bound by this sacred tree for too long! We need freedom!"
"Freedom?" Huang Miao chuckled. "Do you think freedom is simply getting rid of the constraints of the sacred tree? You are too naive. The real freedom is the inner freedom. It is not being controlled by the outside world."
"That's easy for you to say!" Elijah snorted disdainfully, "Is there any way you can give us true freedom?"
"Of course there is a way." Huang Miao smiled slightly, "And, I have already started to implement it. However, this requires your trust and cooperation."
"Why should we trust you?" King Nathan suddenly asked, "You are just an outsider. How do we know that you are not another Behemoth Corporation?"
"Good question." Huang Miao nodded in appreciation, "I am indeed an outsider, but I am different from Behemoth Corporation. They want the power of the sacred tree, but I want your freedom and faith."
"Faith?" King Nathan frowned and asked, "Why should we believe in you?"
"Because I can bring you true freedom." Huang Miao looked at King Nathan and other Nathan guards seriously.
"Besides, I already have a plan. As long as you are willing to cooperate with me, I believe that in the near future, you will gain true freedom."
King Nathan and the other Nathan guards looked at each other, not knowing how to choose.
However, they saw unprecedented firmness and confidence in Huang Miao's eyes, which made them feel inexplicably at ease and trustful.
"Hmph, do you think you've won anything by exposing me?" Elijah sneered and slowly put away the revolver in his hand.
"I want to see how you can fulfill your boast and extract the divinity from this sacred tree."
King Nasen and other Nasen guards had already developed a strong interest in Huang Miao and a sense of inexplicable trust in him.
They surrounded Elijah to prevent him from doing anything extreme again.
"Mr. Huang Miao, can you really do it?" King Nathan couldn't help but ask, her eyes flashing with anticipation and curiosity.
Huang Miao smiled slightly and nodded confidently: "King Nathan, I, Huang Miao, never break my promise. Today, I will let you witness a miracle."
"Well, since things have come to this, Mr. Huang Miao, just go ahead and do it."
King Nathan shrugged and said as if she didn't care, but in fact, her eyes were shining with anticipation and curiosity.
Huang Miao smiled slightly and nodded: "Thank you King Nathan for your trust. I will start now."
After that, he turned and walked towards the sacred tree, his steps firm and steady. Everyone followed his steps, forming a circle, ready to watch this unprecedented "performance".
"Oh, this is going to be a good show." A Nathan guard joked.
"Yes, I wonder if Mr. Huang Miao can really do it." Another Nathan Guard continued.
At this time, Elijah stood in the crowd, his arms folded across his chest, with a playful smile on his face. He also wanted to know whether Huang Miao had any real ability.
Huang Miao walked slowly towards the sacred tree, each step seemed so firm and calm. Everyone followed his footsteps, forming a big circle, their eyes focused on him.
Elijah stood in the crowd, looking at Huang Miao with complicated eyes. Although his identity was revealed, he had an inexplicable expectation for Huang Miao at this moment.
If Huang Miao could really successfully extract the divinity from the sacred tree, then his goal would be indirectly achieved.
"Okay, I'll see how you work your magic." Elijah snorted and turned his head away.
Huang Miao stood in front of the sacred tree, took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and gently touched the trunk of the sacred tree.
There was a determination gleam in his eyes, as if he was having a silent conversation with the sacred tree.
“Oh sacred tree, sacred tree, you have endowed these islanders with divinity, but you have also deprived them of their freedom.”
Huang Miao said softly, "Today, I will extract your divinity and give them true freedom."
After that, he closed his eyes and began to gather the Qi in his body. Everyone saw a faint light begin to appear on his palms, and the light slowly rose along his arms and finally enveloped his whole body.
"This is..." King Nathan looked at Huang Miao in surprise, "What is he doing?"
"I don't know." A Nathan Guard shook his head, "But he looks very powerful."
At this time, Huang Miao was completely immersed in his own world. He felt the powerful vitality and divinity of the sacred tree, and those powers flowed through his body like giant dragons.
He wanted to tame these forces one by one and then extract them from the sacred tree.
This process was not easy, but Huang Miao was very calm. Fine beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead, but he did not even frown.
Time passed by minute by minute, and everyone was watching nervously. The air on Nasen Island seemed to have frozen, and only the contest between Huang Miao and the sacred tree continued.
Nason Island, a land shrouded in mystery, is currently witnessing an unprecedented war.
The members of the Quanxing Organization, like a pack of mad wolves, began to wreak havoc on the land and engaged in a fierce battle with Qu Tong's men.
"Hahaha, let me show you how powerful the Quanxing Organization is!" (End of this chapter)
