Zheng Sheng looked at the open pagoda gate in front of him with a wary expression.

An extremely dangerous aura emanated from the darkness behind the door.

A large amount of fog spread along the ground, and wherever it passed, frost began to form on the ground, extending all the way to Zheng Sheng's feet.

very dangerous!

Even though the pagoda suppressed him, the guy behind the door still made him feel extremely dangerous!

but……

Zheng Sheng hesitated for only a moment before making his decision and striding into the pagoda.

The reason was simple: within the still area covered by the pagoda, he could feel that the suppression and prying he had always felt were largely blocked.

His mind suddenly became much clearer.

Zheng Sheng quickly entered the pagoda.

As soon as I entered, the door behind me slammed shut.

In the darkness, the black scales gleamed and rubbed together.

A giant dragon's head suddenly and slowly fell from the sky, appearing in front of Zheng Sheng with scorching breath.

What a huge black dragon!

Zheng Sheng's pupils contracted, and his whole body tensed up instantly, but he did not flinch.

Inside the hundred-meter-tall pagoda, one could see...

A huge bronze pillar stands in the center of the pagoda.

Numerous rune chains, crisscrossing like a spider web, covered the entire interior of the pagoda, binding a hundred-meter-long, one-horned black dragon tightly to a bronze pillar, rendering it unable to move.

One dragon and one man, facing each other.

The two were less than a meter apart!

Zheng Sheng stared in shock at the black dragon before him.

The legend of White Pagoda Mountain is true!

There really is a black, evil dragon being suppressed beneath the White Pagoda, and it seems to be even more terrifying than in the legends!

But that wasn't the reason Zheng Sheng was surprised at all. What really surprised him was that what was suppressed under the White Pagoda wasn't some strange creature, but a demonic dragon that could speak human language!

What exactly is going on?

The rune chains binding his body were all taut, constantly making a metallic scraping sound. The black dragon looked at Zheng Sheng and suddenly spoke slowly, uttering human words.

The sound was like the beating of drums.

"You've finally arrived, Zheng Sheng!"

Upon hearing the black dragon speak, and even directly state his name, Zheng Sheng was not only shocked but also became more vigilant.

"You actually spoke? How do you know me?"

The black dragon's mouth split open, and a human-like smile suddenly appeared on its face, seemingly very satisfied with Zheng Sheng's current expression.

"Of course I know you!"

"You caused such a commotion in heaven before, it would be hard for me not to notice even if I wanted to."

"I thought I was doomed and was ready to give up, but then you unexpectedly stumbled into heaven. It's truly a miracle that I wasn't destined for this world!"

"Hahaha!!!"

After the black dragon finished speaking, it looked at Zheng Sheng again and continued.

"I have some very bad news for you."

"From beginning to end, you never escaped the divine tree's pursuit. This place is actually the divine tree's paradise!"

Upon hearing this, the entire pagoda fell silent.

However, it was not what the Black Dragon had anticipated.

Upon hearing this news, Zheng Sheng remained calm, showing no surprise whatsoever.

"oh."

The air fell silent once more.

A man and a dragon, staring at each other with wide eyes.

"You...aren't you surprised?" The black dragon's eyes were full of surprise, but he quickly recovered, and his gaze towards Zheng Sheng changed. "You knew all along? So you were just pretending before?"

Zheng Sheng didn't answer the black dragon. Instead, he looked around the entire interior of the pagoda and asked, "Is this place reliable?"

Seeing Zheng Sheng's expression, the Black Dragon had already gotten his answer.

"Good! I underestimated you. I didn't expect that you could maintain such a strong sense of self under the suppression of Heaven. I thought you had lost your way."

From the moment Zheng Sheng entered the Heavenly Kingdom, he had been secretly observing him.

When Zheng Sheng first entered the Heavenly Kingdom, his strength was too terrifying. Even though the rules of the Heavenly Kingdom forcibly suppressed him, they could not completely control Zheng Sheng's perception.

The other person eventually became mentally unstable and ran around like a madman, which was the result of their own will forcibly resisting the rules of heaven.

He originally thought that it would end in Zheng Sheng's failure.

Unexpectedly, after the other person woke up, they were just like me, acting the whole time!

The black dragon laughed loudly!

He knew he hadn't chosen the wrong person. Zheng Sheng seemed stronger than he had expected, but the stronger the better, so they would have a better chance of escaping from Heaven.

"I had prepared some words to persuade you to face reality, but it seems there's no need to waste any more time. Let's get down to business." The black dragon looked at Zheng Sheng, his expression becoming extremely serious.

"This is the Heavenly Kingdom of the Divine Tree. We are now trapped in the Heavenly Kingdom, and our time is running out."

"The Divine Tree was originally a Nightmare-level monster at the third-tier complete level, and now it has grown to its limit and is preparing to break through to the fourth-tier Calamity Beast level."

"If I'm not mistaken, the golden apple will be born in two days. And when it is, we will both die!"

Upon hearing the word "golden apple" again, Zheng Sheng's confusion deepened. He asked, "Golden apple again? What exactly is this golden apple?"

After pondering for a moment, the black dragon finally told Zheng Sheng, "Actually, the divine tree is composed of two parts: one is the banyan tree, and the other is the golden apple on the tree."

"The Sacred Tree Forest has abundant food and a relatively safe environment, which will constantly attract survivors from the surrounding area to enter, but they can only enter and cannot leave."

"And every so often, the divine tree will carry out a great cleansing of the entire forest, absorbing all the life within the divine tree as nutrients for evolution, ultimately helping the golden apple to grow."

"With each great purge, the golden apple ripens, and each time it ripens, it nourishes the banyan tree, allowing the banyan tree to grow and evolve together."

"The Divine Tree has now reached the limit of its third-tier complete form, and we are the nourishment the Golden Apple needs to mature this time!"

After the black dragon finished speaking, it looked at Zheng Sheng and suddenly added another sentence.

"To be precise, it should be you; you are the key to the Golden Apple's maturation and advancement to the fourth stage!"

"Me?" Zheng Sheng looked puzzled. "What does that mean?"

"Yes, it's you!" The black dragon's eyes, like giant lanterns, were fixed on Zheng Sheng's body. "Under normal circumstances, it's extremely difficult for a third-tier fully-formed monster to advance to the fourth-tier Calamity Beast level!"

"One method is to devour tens of millions of humans in a short period of time, forming tens of millions of dead lands, and transforming them into a qualitative change through quantitative change. In the countless resentful and evil spirits gathered in the tens of millions of dead lands, the transformation is completed."

"Another method is to grow to the limit of the third-tier complete form, devour other powerful monsters and a large number of humans, and find a rare human elixir to complete the cataclysmic beast advancement!"

"And you, you are probably the great medicine the divine tree has been dreaming of!"
