Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 175: Top secret in the tree, the new king ascends the throne! ( words long chapter)
"Be careful, she is also an intruder..."

Upon seeing the petite figure appear and the mask on her face, King Nathan gave a warning.

"understand!"

Alfonso nodded when he heard that, and a pure white light burst out from his hands. His ability was the "light magic" inherited from his family, and he could use light to construct various magic arrays.

wow——

In an instant, white light burst out and formed a white light shield that enveloped him and King Nathan, and the power was also contained within it.

He knew in his heart that these invaders were extremely powerful, and even though his light magic power was enormous, he still had to be careful.

"King, why don't you go first and I'll deal with her!"

The next moment, Alfonso shouted, and his hands glowed again as he began to prepare attack magic.

But at this time...

Da da da……

Footsteps were heard again, and a graceful figure wearing a black and white mask stepped in. Then she raised her hand and the whole palace trembled. Golden air currents condensed and flowed here, blocking the palace in an instant!
"Um?!"

As the golden airflow filled the entire palace, Alfonso's body shook. He could feel that his authority originally from the sacred tree had disappeared, and the protection from the sacred tree was also cut off.

"You are the one who opened the magic circle on this island!!!"

Feeling the strangeness of the golden airflow and realizing its similarities with the "magic circle", Alfonso reacted immediately and shouted in shock!
"..."

Facing the other party's question, Qu Ying did not give any answer. She just looked at him silently and slowly walked to Duoduo's side.

Obviously, Xia Ye had already expected that the one who stayed behind to guard the "king" would be the strongest among the Nathan guards, and his light magic could just be restrained by Qu Ying.

However, at this moment...

Swish!
Qu Ying had just stood still when a figure suddenly appeared behind her. It was a white-haired and arrogant old man, it was Li Muxuan who had been killed instantly by Xiao Zizai before!
As the grandfather of King Nathan, it was impossible for him to ignore his granddaughter's trouble. He had been lurking nearby, waiting for the enemy to appear. Now, when the opportunity arose, he was ready to strike and kill with one strike!

Wow!
At this moment, Li Muxuan swooped down like an eagle, and the Qi in his hands circulated, causing the surrounding magnetic field to vibrate, and the twisting and tearing force was squeezed towards the two people in front of him...

Having learned the lesson from last time, he used all his strength this time. The magnetic field in his body was running wildly with the cooperation of the true Qi, bursting out with extremely powerful force!

however……

puff!

"Now my aura covers the entire island. Even with the reduction of the power of the sacred tree, I can still sense everything in it. How can you be sure... that I don't know you are here?"

Just before the magnetic field attack was about to hit him, a sharp sword shining with golden light pierced through Li Muxuan's chest, causing his eyes to widen, and then he heard a cold female voice.

At the same time, the golden light also condensed into two indestructible light shields, which directly dissolved the magnetic field attack. To put it bluntly, this magnetic field was also a manifestation of the "qi situation", and it could not cause any waves in her overall situation...

As the words fell...

Blah blah blah!
Several chains condensed from golden light wrapped around Li Muxuan, making him unable to move. Qu Ying then looked in the direction of King Nathan and Alfonso.

Wow!
The next moment, she raised her hand again, and the golden light around her suddenly surged. Seeing this, Alfonso immediately exerted his full strength, and golden light shone all around him!
However, no matter how strong his personal power was, he could not fight against Qu Ying who was blessed by the overall situation. The dazzling white light soon collapsed under the erosion of the golden light, and golden sharp blades condensed and locked the two of them in the middle!
At this moment……

pat!

Chen Duo took a step forward, and a gentle orange-yellow light appeared around her, and the light quickly spread out with her as the center...

wow——

Envelop King Nathan and Alfonso!

"Uh……"

The next moment, the two of them only felt their originally turbulent hearts gradually calm down, and a warmth that they had never felt before emerged in their hearts. The influence from the sacred tree was gradually dissipated, and they couldn't help but reveal a happy expression on their faces...

……

……

"Hey……"

"King Nathan has it done."

"okay, I get it."

At the same time, Xia Ye and Dao Diao both heard the voice coming from the mask communication. Xia Ye replied with a sentence, and Dao Diao narrowed his eyes.

"I say, the power of you Chinese has reached such a level that just a few people can overturn the entire Nasen Island?"

The next moment, Daodiao said curiously.

"That's not the case. It's not limited to us. Of course, if we really talk about the overall strength of the aliens, you in the United States still can't compare." Xia Ye responded calmly.

"Inhumans... that's the name used in China, right? That's for sure. You have a long history and a deep foundation of people with super powers. How long has the United States been established?" Daodiao spread his hands with a sarcastic look on his face.

soon……

"We're here."

Xia Ye stopped and saw a big tree standing not far from them. The branches and trunk of the tree were glowing with a faint golden halo, exuding a rich breath of life.

But the strange thing is that there are no leaves on the branches of this big tree, but it is bare. This obviously has nothing to do with the season, but is its own characteristic.

(Sacred Tree)
"This is the sacred tree..."

Seeing this strange tree, Daodiao's eyes focused, and after looking at it for a moment, he looked at Xia Ye.

"You brought me here, could it be that..."

"Hold on."

However, before Daodiao could ask, Xia Ye raised his hand to interrupt him, then took off his mask, exited his hidden state, and walked over.

next moment……

He sat cross-legged in front of the sacred tree. A light flashed in his eyes, and his "understanding" was instantly activated. He began to analyze the sacred tree.

He knew very well that this sacred tree was a very special existence. It had its own "consciousness" and possessed a powerful force far beyond that of most extraordinary people. Before touching it, he had to figure it out first.

And soon...

"Ok?"

Xia Ye's eyes focused and his expression suddenly became serious. The light in his eyes became brighter and brighter, and a strange glow appeared on his face.

"So that's how it is. Is this the essence of the sacred tree?"

He then opened his mouth, muttering something, his eyes becoming more and more fiery, revealing a glow of excitement!
Under the analysis of "Ming Li"...

Xia Ye saw the deepest origin hidden inside the sacred tree. It was a seed that embodied "life", "hope", "growth" and "inheritance"!
And each of these elements is not as simple as the ones he usually uses, but an existence close to a "concept". Each one taken out alone has the potential to open up a bright future for extraordinary people, and is a rare material that is not much different from the "mysterious elements" in the "Eight Wonders"!
Now, these precious materials have been integrated together to become a "tree species". This is the essence of the sacred tree. All the wonders in Nasen Island are born from it. Everything is nurtured by it. All the people of Nasen born under its blessing can be said to be its children...

That's why he is so loyal!
Not only that, the "consciousness" it possesses seems to be based on an extremely powerful ancient spirit, but this spirit is currently still dormant, right in the center of the "tree species"!

"what?!"

"Could this guy be..."

Feeling this unprecedented soul power, which was even more powerful and terrifying than Liu Tianhong's ten thousand years of cultivation, Xia Ye suddenly thought of a name -

"extremely"!
You know, the development of the entire world does not revolve around China, and China is not the only civilization on Earth. Other civilizations will inevitably give birth to "Jue Ding" in the process of birth and development, and this spirit in front of you...

“Maybe this is one of them!”

So that's it. This is the essence of the "sacred tree" and the biggest secret of the entire "Nasen civilization". The sacred tree is not born naturally, but is a kind of "container" artificially refined to accommodate this "supreme spirit"!
"This also explains why in the original plot, Nathan Island, which possesses the power of the sacred tree and whose 'king' and 'guards' can teleport freely across the island, is so vulnerable to the modern firepower of 'Behemoth'!"

In fact, this has always been Xia Ye's biggest doubt. With the power displayed by Nasen Island, the strength of the Nine Guards of Nasen, and the authority granted to them by the sacred tree, how could they be defeated by modern firepower...

After all, you have to know that the reason why "Behemoth" landed on Nason Island was to stop the guys who broke the golden branch from assassinating King Nason, and to stop what they called "barbaric, corrupt, bloody killings that violated the values ​​of modern human civilization." This means that they could not use weapons that could directly destroy the entire island, and they had to leave some lives behind.

Under such circumstances, the failure of Nathan Island was somewhat unbelievable. Apart from anything else, the Nine Guards of Nathan plus the teleportation authority were enough to kill all the invaders. After all, none of the aliens sent by Behemoth had the power to rival the Nine Guards of Nathan...

From another perspective, everyone knows that Behemoth's real purpose is to obtain the sacred tree and promote his research on the "SP series of potions". This means that even if Nasen Island kills all the people who land on the island, Behemoth will never use large-scale weapons to preserve the sacred tree.

But what is the truth...

Although Nathan's Nine Guards fought desperately, their way of fighting was very brainless. It could even be said that they chose the only way that would lead to failure from countless ways to win temporarily - that is, giving away their heads one by one!
Xia Ye believed that these Nathan Guards were not so stupid, so there was only one explanation:

This is the "will" of the sacred tree!
That’s right, the destruction of Nason Island can only be achieved under the deliberate control of the power of the sacred tree, but it is obvious that the destruction of Nason does not mean the destruction of the sacred tree...

Even though the sacred tree was destroyed on the surface through the joint efforts of the European Emerald Sect and Elijah of Nathan, it actually only transferred its power to the surviving King Nathan and Elijah the Branch Breaker...

From light to dark!

Thinking of this, Xia Ye couldn't help but stare. He finally understood the mystery hidden in it, and finally sorted out all the joints...

"Because the primary mission of the sacred tree has never been to preserve 'Nason', but to preserve itself. As long as it exists, the spirit in the tree will also exist. The entire Nason is actually the nutrient of the sacred tree, used to nourish the soul in this tree!"

"..."

After figuring everything out, Xia Ye suddenly fell silent, then lowered his head and began to ponder.

"Using the power of civilization to support oneself and absorb nutrients to grow, is this the 'way to immortality' that this Western leader has in mind? Is this the 'road to heaven' that he has embarked on?"

"Do not……"

He then shook his head again.

"No matter from which angle you look at it, this is a minor path, a path that is difficult to prove, and it will definitely not appear in a top person!"

Having witnessed the outstanding styles of China in the past in the dream of the big snake, he knew in his heart that those who can become the best are those who are favored by the destiny of heaven and earth. They themselves carry the great way of heaven and earth, and their eyes will only look to the sky, and they will not choose such a superficial and compromised path that relies on the corpses of believers as nourishment.

"Either, this person is just a regretful person who is close to the top, or he is the real top, but this move has another deeper meaning..."

Xia Ye's eyes narrowed, feeling that this matter was not as simple as he thought.

So, after thinking for a while...

"Then let me take a look at the truth of everything..."

Xia Ye made a decision, and excitement and anticipation appeared in his eyes. Since he didn't know the reason, he might as well find out everything.

"Hanged man, please wait for me for a moment, I will be there soon."

Then, he directly took out several jade bottles from his space magic weapon, on which were respectively labeled "Lu Family Blood", "The True Meaning of Soul Binding", "Electric Wave Yang God", and "Xihe Country". To be on the safe side, he must first increase his soul strength to the maximum, and then explore the mystery of the soul in this sacred tree!
soon……

Xia Ye absorbed the mysterious power from the four jade bottles. After digesting it all, he raised his hand and touched the trunk of the sacred tree, closing his eyes at the same time.

next second...

Wow!
Powerful true Qi surged from his body, instantly wrapping him and the sacred tree together. The "Nine Turns of Heaven and Earth" he created also operated at the same time, decomposing the power of the sacred tree used to protect the "tree seeds".

He came into contact with that soul and connected with it...

……

……

March 76, 1 AD.

A baby boy was born into a wealthy immigrant family in Spain.

His name was Publius Aelius Hadrian, and his family and friends called him "Hadrian". He was also the cousin of Trajan, an officer of the Roman Empire at the time. His status was extremely noble since birth.

Not only that, Hadrian has shown unparalleled talent since he was a child. He is a congenital "wizard" with strange magic power. Anything can be decomposed, fused, and transformed into a new form in his hands...

Including "life"!
Of course, Hadrian, who was kind-hearted by nature, was full of awe for "life" and had never used his abilities to harm any living being. At most, he would use his powers to help them heal when people or animals were injured or sick.

Soon, his uncle Trajan noticed his talent and took him in to train him. Trajan believed that with such a gifted "natural wizard", the Roman Empire's army would become stronger and reach a higher level!
Because of this, Hadrian spent most of his childhood under the guidance of his cousin. Trajan invited the best teachers in the empire to teach him knowledge, politics, military law, etiquette and even witchcraft, and trained him into a perfect noble son.

Since he was a teenager, he followed Trajan to fight in various places and was highly appreciated by his uncle. He was entrusted with important tasks from time to time and gradually took on important positions in the imperial army.

After that, as he grew older and exercised, Hadrian became strong and tall, with thick curly hair, and his eyes became unusually sharp due to years of military, political influence and witchcraft practice.

When marching and fighting, he was not afraid of changes in weather and terrain, ate the same food and drank cheap wine as the soldiers, and often used the witchcraft he had learned to help and protect his soldiers, and was deeply loved by the soldiers.

Of course, even on the battlefield, Hadrian still maintained his awe and love for life. Although he could not prevent lives from being destroyed in the war due to his position and the teachings he received, he would bury all the bodies of the enemy soldiers after the war and purify their souls with witchcraft so that they could pass away smoothly.

It is precisely because of this that his behavior has become a so-called "handle" for many critics and political opponents to criticize his naivety and hypocrisy, saying that he is just a group of self-righteous hypocrites who cannot see the reality and will ultimately not be able to shoulder the responsibility of the empire.

But these guys didn't know that as Hadrian grew up, his attainments in witchcraft had already reached a level that even his teachers had to look up to him. There was no wizard in the empire who could compare to him, and he could see much further than anyone else.

In Hadrian's eyes, "life" will never disappear due to "death", but will return to heaven and earth and grow again into a new creature. His "blessing" is to allow these tragically dead souls to obtain their expected and better new life in the cycle of life. This is the real meaning of his doing so!
And when Hadrian told all this to his uncle Trajan...

Trajan not only chose to believe him, but also gave him the greatest praise. In Trajan's view, people who can regard all lives in the world as equal but will not lose their position because of this will definitely achieve great things in the future!
Therefore, Trajan began to train his cousin even more vigorously and constantly recommended him to the Roman Emperor Nerva at that time. The uncle and nephew were promoted rapidly!
In 91 AD...

Hadrian's cousin Trajan served as consul of the empire, and he himself became a senator of the Roman Senate and completely entered the political circle.

It was not until the end of 97 that the Roman Emperor Nerva recognized the abilities of Trajan's uncle and nephew, adopted Trajan as his son and designated him as the heir to the throne. Hadrian was ordered to go to Lucigo to convey his congratulations to Trajan, and from then on he joined the ranks of the highest ruling class of the empire.

98 AD…

The previous Roman Emperor Nerva died of illness, and Trajan, who was garrisoning in Cologne, was called to succeed him and became the second emperor of the Antonine dynasty of the Roman Empire.

100 AD…

Hadrian married Trajan's great-niece.

In 105 AD... Hadrian was promoted to tribune of the people, and breaking with convention, he was promoted to consul in the following year, giving him military power.

107 AD.

Hadrian once served as the governor of Pannonia, a province on the Danube River, served as consul in 108, served as consul of Athens in 112, and before Trajan's western expedition in 117, he ordered him to command the heavy troops assembled in Syria!

only……

Long before this, Trajan had fallen ill due to exhaustion due to his old age and frailty, as well as his fear that the expedition might be in vain. His condition later worsened and he was already paralyzed.

Later in the course of the expedition, Trajan died in the city of Selinus in the southeast corner of Asia Minor. On his deathbed, he adopted Hadrian as his son. Although he did not formally designate a successor, according to Queen Plotina, he passed the throne to Hadrian before he died.

Thus, shortly after Trajan's death, Hadrian was elected as the head of the Syrian Legion. This action was soon approved by the Senate, which made Hadrian's reputation rise further.

Soon after, he officially inherited the throne of the Roman Empire and became the third emperor of the Antonine dynasty of the Roman Empire. He immediately stopped the war in the East at that time and concluded a peace treaty with the King of Parthia.

That's right...

Stop the war!

Out of respect and love for life, since Hadrian ascended the throne, the Roman Empire has rarely waged wars. Instead, it has adopted a "defensive strategy" and focused on the development of the empire's economy.

On the northern border, in order to resist the southward invasion of the Germanic peoples, he built a long wall in the south, connecting the upper reaches of the Rhine with the upper reaches of the Danube. He also built the "Hadrian's Wall" across the east and west in the north of the British Isles to defend against the invasion of "barbarians".

And for a long time afterwards...

Apart from politics, Hadrian spent most of his time on the understanding and practice of witchcraft. Perhaps because of the change in his status and identity, he gained a new understanding of the relationship between himself and the world, and became fascinated by the mysteries therein.

Gradually, due to his obsession with witchcraft and the stability of the empire at the time, he gradually relaxed his supervision over his subordinates and began to immerse himself in the understanding of witchcraft.

It is precisely because of this...

In 132 AD, Hadrian made the biggest mistake of his life.

At that time, he was touring Palestine and discovered that the place where Jerusalem was located seemed to contain infinite mysteries. He wanted to build a new city on the original site and make it a Roman residence so that he could experience the wonders of it.

Because he was fascinated by the study of witchcraft at the time, he handed the matter over to an arrogant official for negotiation. At the same time, he ignored the fact that this was a holy land for the Jews and their homeland, which directly led to the "Second Jewish War"!
When the war broke out, Hadrian, who was obsessed with witchcraft, finally woke up, but it was too late...

As soon as they learned that the Romans were going to invade their homes, all the Jews stood up and fought desperately, and even took the initiative to attack Roman towns, organizing the largest-scale uprising in the shortest time.

In order to defend their homeland, the Jews went bloodthirsty and the Roman army immediately engaged in battle with them. However, due to the large number of Romans, the outcome of this war was unprecedentedly tragic.

In order to prevent the empire from being destroyed by the Jewish uprising, Hadrian could not stop the army's suppression. Under the iron hoof of the imperial army, the Jews at that time suffered heavy casualties, with a total of 58 people dying on Roman soil. The uprising finally ended.

period……

Hadrian tried to negotiate peace with the Jews more than once, but the perception of the Roman Empire as an "invader" was so ingrained in the Jews' minds that no one wanted to listen to his "lies," and even his personal appearance was ignored.

He had also been trying to use witchcraft to stop the war, but the scope of the entire uprising was too large, and the war had spread to the entire Roman Empire. No matter how powerful his witchcraft was, he was unable to cope with it. While he successfully stopped the war in one place, the wars in other places had already ended!
It was not until the end of the war three years later, when Hadrian saw the blood and corpses all over the ground, that he realized how big a mistake he had made...

In the past, he had no ability to stop the war and could only go with it. Now, he could have prevented the war from happening, but ended up with this outcome.

at this moment……

Click!

Hadrian's "heart of seeking knowledge" is also what the Chinese Taoists call "heart of Taoism"...

Broken!
In his opinion, all of this was due to his obsession with witchcraft and his disregard for life. He had already betrayed his previous beliefs, so what qualifications did he have to pursue it?

With this thought in mind, Hadrian immediately chose his successor and began to tour the places where the war had occurred. He began to use his witchcraft to send the souls that should not have died to the afterlife, and constantly repented for the crimes he had committed.

In his opinion, the comments made by those politicians at the time were really prophetic. He was indeed naive and hypocritical, a complete hypocrite. A guy like him...

It is indeed unable to shoulder the responsibility of supporting the empire!
in this way……

It was not until July 138, 7 AD that Hadrian finally completed the purification of all souls, returned to his estate in Bea, and eventually died of heart failure.

Of course, this was just an external announcement so that he could abdicate the throne smoothly. In fact, he left the empire, changed his identity, and began to travel around Rome and surrounding countries as a "wandering magician."

After this……

A long time passed again.

Although Hadrian's "desire for knowledge" was still not restored and his mentality gradually calmed down, it did not mean that he forgave himself. On the contrary, the more he saw the peaceful scenes of the towns and cities and the people living and working in peace and contentment, the more he felt the gravity of his sins.

However, he gradually accepted his sinful self and embarked on a path of "atonement". During his travels, he began to rescue wanderers he met on the way, drive away bullies for the weak, and perform witchcraft disguised as magic in exchange for people's smiles.

Although this is by no means enough to make up for his sins, it can make the world a better place.

that's it……

Hadrian traveled for a long time, and gradually a group of followers grew around him. Most of them were orphans or disabled people who were homeless due to the war. They were healed by his witchcraft and chose to go with him to help others.

However, as their team grew larger, they gradually attracted the attention of various countries. Hadrian was too old and unable to support himself at that time, so he chose to take everyone back to Rome and found an uninhabited forest on the edge of his hometown as a place to live.

Perhaps it was because he had gained some insights from traveling around for many years, or perhaps he had already let go of it, but when Hadrian calmed down completely, his witchcraft skills, which had not improved for many years, suddenly made rapid progress, as if he had broken through a huge bottleneck.

It was at this moment that he suddenly looked up and felt some kind of terrifying gaze from above his head. The huge pressure seemed to occupy the entire dome and envelope the entire world!

destroy!

From this peeping, Hadrian felt the will to destruction!

He suddenly realized that in the unknown future, the world might face an unprecedented disaster because of this spying. He couldn't help but look back at the person next to him, wanting to do something for him...

Finally, he decided to use everything he had now, condense all his achievements in witchcraft, and use the huge life force he had collected over the years to transform his body into a tree species.

"Plant me and I will protect you..."

This was the last instruction he left to his followers before he transformed himself into a tree species.

After this……

According to Hadrian's "last words", his followers planted the seeds, and soon the "sacred tree" grew.

At the same time, out of respect for Hadrian, his followers named the sacred tree after the last syllable "nus" in his name "Hadrianus". From then on, the "Nathan clan" was born!

……

……

"So that's why. It's not for 'absorbing nutrients', but for 'protection'..."

After reading the past of this soul, Xia Ye opened his eyes, understood the meaning of the existence of the sacred tree, and understood everything it had done.

Yes, when the people of Nathan die, their souls and bodies will indeed return to the sacred tree, but this is actually a kind of "protection"...

Their souls were not truly absorbed, but were taken into Hadrian's body by his soul. After the future disaster, as long as the world still exists and the sacred tree is immortal, their souls will be released and re-enter the cycle of life!

"This is why this soul is so powerful..."

At this moment, Xia Ye could clearly feel that in addition to Hadrian's spirit, there were countless complex souls within this tree. They were all the people of Nathan who had died over the years.

In fact, Hadrian's soul has now become a "container" for all souls and an additional layer of protection for these souls, while his own will has long been eroded over the long years and eventually turned into the "will" of the sacred tree, becoming a selfless existence similar to "AI".

“Is this your salvation?”

So far, Xia Ye has figured out everything thoroughly and confirmed that the former Roman Emperor Hadrian was not the "best" but a person with outstanding talents like Zhang Huaiyi and others. There were other people who were the best of that era.

It was also because of this that he was unable to stop the war that made him regret for the rest of his life, because his strength was still far from the peak, and his final enlightenment was just like Zhang Huaiyi and others' understanding of the Eight Wonders, but he did not use it as his own magic, but used everything for "self-salvation"!
"Um……"

After sorting out everything, Xia Ye did not express any opinion. Now he knew everything and understood the essence of the sacred tree, and naturally he had the most fundamental understanding of its power.

"Through the combination of witchcraft and alchemy, I merged my will with concepts such as life, completely changing the Qi in my body and my life form, and exerted my power by arranging the Qi."

In this way, everything will be easy. For Xia Ye today, he doesn't need to pay any attention to the "brainwashing" of the sacred tree, and all the worries in the past are no longer a problem.

He then smiled slightly, and finally stood up. Everything that followed was done according to the plan, and it was time to end it all.

"Oh? Finally finished?"

Seeing this weird guy finally stand up, the one who had been waiting impatiently raised his eyebrows and immediately became excited again.

"I say, you brought me here and subdued King Nathan. You don't want me to break the golden branch and become the new King Nathan, do you?"

Obviously, he knew this guy's plan the moment he heard that King Nathan was dealt with, so he asked directly.

"Yes, that's right. If you become the new King Nathan, you will have the power of the sacred tree, because you are different from the current King Nathan. You have absolute potential and talent..."

Hearing this, Xia Ye immediately turned his head and nodded in response.

"You should also know that the current King Nathan is quite weak and can only obtain the authority from the sacred tree. However, the power of the sacred tree is more than that. I have just confirmed it completely."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Daodiao immediately became interested, but then he frowned.

"That's not right. If you become the King of Nathan, you will be completely loyal to the sacred tree and eventually be bound to this island. Does that mean... you can even solve this problem?"

He obviously didn't quite believe it.

"Regarding this point, I know you may not believe it for the time being, but I can indeed free you from the control of the sacred tree, and even completely control the power of the sacred tree. If you really have doubts, I also have a way to prove it to you."

Xia Ye smiled faintly and responded again.

"Proof? How do you want to prove it?"

"It's very simple. There are many people on this island, including some strange people. We can just find someone to break the golden branch and kill King Nathan. After he becomes the new Queen Nathan, I will take action. Wouldn't that prove that what I said is true?"

"Oh, I see. Once you have proved it, I will come to break the golden branch again and kill the new king. Then I can rest assured and become the new King of Nathan...right?"

Understanding what this guy meant, a smile appeared on the upside-down face.

"Interesting, it's really interesting, no problem, I agree, when do we start?"

"We can do it right now. Let's go back to your 'paradise' and grab someone at random."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Ye immediately took action, crossed the hanging wall, and prepared to return the same way, but at this moment...

puff!

A hand wrapped in Qi penetrated his left back and pierced his heart, and the fingertips came out from his left chest!

"Ha ha……"

"I thought you were some interesting organization, but it turns out you're just that. It seems like you're just like Behemoth... you're just some self-righteous guys~"

The next second, a mocking voice sounded from behind Xia Ye, grinning upside down.

"I don't mind if you want to kill people, but the people on this island are all lunatics who have long lost their souls. Even if they didn't commit any sins before coming to the island, they have already become filthy after landing. To be honest, they can all be called 'deserving to die'."

"But you seem to have some misunderstandings about me. You and I are not the same kind of people. To be honest, the 'king' guy has met with me several times and expressed his desire for me to inherit the throne. She said that this was the choice of the 'tree'. Haha... What a ridiculous reason. I have already rejected it~"

"In my eyes, that guy's fate was determined since birth. He is already pitiful enough..."

"At least she should live longer."

puff!

After saying that, the upside-down palm rotated and made a big hole in Xia Ye's left chest, completely crushing his heart, and then he withdrew his hand.

Then, he clapped his hands in disdain and wanted to leave, but he heard an indifferent voice in his ears:

"Not bad, congratulations on passing the test."

"what?!"

The next moment, Daodiao's pupils shrank, and he immediately turned to look at the guy, and found that the big hole in his chest had healed, and a satisfied smile was on his face.

Then, before the upside-down man could react, Xia Ye disappeared in a flash. Then, with a "click" sound, a broken golden branch appeared in his hand.

"Don't worry, no one will die in this succession of the throne. I promise you. As the next king, Mr. Hanged, I invite you to watch the ceremony..."

That's right, Xia Ye never wanted Daodiao to succeed to the throne from the beginning to the end. He has always been the candidate for the next king. He is now certain that the power of the sacred tree can be a great help in the future!

The words fell...

Xia Ye swallowed a pill and removed the restrictions on his physical strength. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to break through the attack just now.

Then, he grabbed the upside-down shoulder, and disappeared with a flash of his body. When he stopped, he had already arrived at the palace and stood in front of King Nathan.

Swah——

The next moment, Xia Ye pressed his palms on the top of King Nathan's head, and the power of both hands swept through in an instant, cutting off all life in King Nathan's body without any pain...

And after feeling the power of the sacred tree flowing from King Nathan's body into his own body, he exerted force with his palms again, and both hands started to move again, giving it new life!
After doing all this...

Xia Ye leaned down gently and smiled at the old king:
"The past you is dead, congratulations on your rebirth!"

Then, he stood up again. At this time, Xiao Zizai and the others had just arrived at the palace. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he stepped onto the stairs step by step and sat on the throne that belonged to the "king"...

just now……

The new king enthroned!
