Under one person: Get the Beiming magic skill at the beginning

King Nathan's expression changed immediately.

I quickly suppressed the emotions welling up inside me, and at the same time, I instinctively covered my chest with my hand.

She felt it, and she discovered it.

This impulse was not her own feeling.

It originated from... the Divine Tree!

"Divine Tree, are you yearning to be close to this person?"

King Nathan calmed down.

They understood the reason for the fluctuations in the divine tree.

This made her take another look at Mo Wen below the stage and memorize his appearance.

Because of the strange movements of the divine tree.

This is something that has not happened in the last few hundred years.

Chapter 511 The Bloody Ceremony of Succession; There's Only One Truth About Nathan's Elimination

For more than two thousand years.

Since the birth of the divine tree, there have been unusual occurrences, perhaps due to the actions of certain individuals.

For example, feeling the presence of certain people who possess the quality of sacrifice.

This creates a connection, allowing Nathan to find the other party.

It can also be due to a strong enough personal will.

The divine tree is willing to give the other party a golden branch, making them qualified to challenge King Nathan.

but.

At no time has the Nathan Tree ever felt any affection or longing for any object or person.

But today.

This was the first time King Nathan had encountered this situation.

This is something that has never happened before in the entire history of Nathan Island.

Nathan looked intently at Mo Wen in the front row. She could sense that when her gaze was fixed on him.

A feeling of warmth and familiarity will arise in your heart.

They will want to get closer to the other person.

But this is not based on personal feelings such as liking.

It originated from the sacred tree she believed in.

Fortunately, this emotion does not affect King Nathan, or rather, it allows King Nathan to effectively separate himself from this emotion and recognize that it comes only from the divine tree, not from himself.

Therefore, King Nathan was able to effectively control his facial expressions.

He didn't embarrass himself on stage.

It is beneath the dignity of the king.

"When we get back, we need to have Elijah investigate him."

King Nathan kept this matter firmly in mind, but on the surface, he seemed to be giving everyone time to react and digest it. After a pause, he continued, "I believe many of you here know this, which means what will happen next."

The woman smiled and held up one finger.

"Only one of us can survive: me or the one whose golden branch has been broken."

Upon hearing King Nathan's explanation, the scene erupted in chaos.

Thanks to King Nathan and the explanations from those around him who knew the significance, the people present basically understood the meaning of Nathan's Golden Branch.

That's why I was so surprised.

Because of the broken golden branch, the ceremony of succession to the throne has not been held for hundreds of years.

But now it has suddenly appeared.

It's hard to say whether there's anything else going on here.

But it is indeed surprising.

"Those of you who have come to this meeting must know something about our Nathan Island, but the fact that the Golden Branch has been broken is something that hasn't happened in hundreds of years."

King Nathan said softly, "Let me introduce you all again."

“Normally, there are two ways to succeed to the throne of Nathan. One way is that after the death of the current king, the sacred tree will choose a child born on the island to be the new king.”

She slowly extended her second finger: "The second option is to take on the challenge voluntarily."

"Anyone can initiate this; by killing the current king, one can become the new king."

The woman's eyes were calm, her expression indifferent: "I would like to remind everyone that you don't need to view the challenger's assassination attempt on me with too much emotion."

"From the moment I became King Nathan, my life became part of this ritual."

"That's all."

"Everything is so that the divine tree can choose a 'king' who is more worthy of it."

King Nathan then explained the steps of the challenge.

First, break off a branch of the sacred tree with your own hands; this branch is the Golden Branch.

The Golden Bough is what gives this person the right to challenge Nathan's throne.

Second, the owner of the Golden Bough can cause the death of the current King Nathan in any way, and if successful, he can smoothly become the new king.

Third, upon becoming the new queen, the Divine Tree and Nathan Guard will both belong to the new queen.

If the current King Nathan dies by accident or illness during the succession ceremony, the challenger fails, and the new king is chosen by the Tree of God from among the children.

Fourth, whether the death of the current King Nathan is related to the challenger will be decided by the Divine Tree.

King Nathan finished explaining the steps with a smile.

He then addressed the assembled guests, saying, "By the way, anyone can challenge my throne. In other words, more than one person can break the golden branch. If any of you here aspire to be King Nathan, you are welcome to come to Nathan Island and break the golden branch."

The woman tilted her head slightly and smiled, "Just be careful not to be discovered. Because of the broken tree, the guards are now much tighter. If any outsider is found trying to approach the tree, they will kill them without hesitation."

"In short, no matter how many people break how many golden branches, the one who wants to become the new king must kill everyone, including me."

The woman said with a smile.

The scene was completely silent.

Everyone watched Nathan in silence.

This survival-of-the-fittest succession ceremony is, in the eyes of modern civilized society, far too barbaric, bloody, and extremely inhumane.

Participating in this ritual means that someone must die.

Even if everyone present knew about it, they would still feel uncomfortable hearing it with their own ears.

The blatant "survival of the fittest" mentality is almost like the behavior of wild beasts.

Mo Wen looked at the woman on the stage with a calm and nonchalant expression and sighed inwardly.

She genuinely didn't care.

Or rather, they had already accepted this fact.

If this were in ancient times, hundreds or thousands of years ago, it would be easier to explain.

But now it's the 21st century.

The world is changing rapidly, and social systems are constantly being replaced and iterated, which makes the Nathan civilization, which still maintains its ancient traditions, a challenge.

To outsiders, they resembled a primitive tribe.

"No wonder Elijah wanted to invite Behemoth to invade and destroy the Tree of God. In his view, Nathan was completely corrupt compared to the prosperity of the outside world, with no hope or future in sight."

"There's no point in staying on this island alone anymore."

"At least that's true for the locals in Nathan."

Mo Wen's thoughts were racing.

The sacred tree of the forest kingdom.

This is the name of the magic spell used to create the Nathan Tree.

In ancient times, countless brilliant and top-notch wizards created this miracle with the intention of maintaining the existence of supernatural beings.

Within the range of the divine tree's power, all infants born are extraordinary beings.

That is, a person who is blessed by the gods.

The idea of ​​the Son of God originates from this.

The intention was good, but unfortunately, it was in a country where most people were ordinary people.

Even the most powerful witchcraft will crumble; there is no other way but to stay away and avoid it.

Moreover, a civilization is formed by ordinary people.

The power of a group is always greater than that of an individual.

The wisdom of countless people has enabled the world to continuously progress.

On the contrary, the miracle created by a large number of top wizards has remained unchanged for thousands of years.

If you don't improve, you'll be eliminated.

This is the truth in any world and any civilization.

"The current divine tree is suitable to be used as a tool. In a world where individual power has an upper limit, the Nason civilization is a flawed existence."

Mo Wen shook his head slightly.
