Based on Roland's understanding of the Goddess of Nature, the World Tree has a high probability of winning the bet.

But Roland was not betting on the goddess of nature, but on other gods who might not have any good intentions.

He wanted the power to protect himself. Even if he didn't have that, he at least had the power to flip the table. If he didn't have that, he would use his blood to splash the noble god's face.

Rebellion is ingrained in his bones and will never change.

Facing the World Tree's look of three parts regret and seven parts puzzlement, Roland said in a deep voice: "The Goddess of Nature is not the only one in the Divine Realm. I believe in the kindness of the Goddess, but I don't believe in the kindness of other gods."

The World Tree did not refute. After all, it did not understand other gods.

It can often listen to the teachings of the goddess of nature, and can also feel from the words of the goddess that the divine realm is not a paradise on earth.

Perhaps, as Roland said, the goddess of nature is willing to protect the children, but other gods may not.

It looked at Roland, wanting to say something but stopping itself, and its words of persuasion finally turned into a warning.

"No matter what, this is your home. When the day of annihilation comes, if you have nowhere else to go, you must come back to me."

Roland was stunned for several seconds, unable to utter a single word. In the end, the only thing he could say was "OK".

The Evergreen World Tree is the most trusted creature of the Goddess of Nature in the Tiamat plane, and it can have a say in front of the goddess.

Demigod is indeed a trap, but the other end of the trap is not necessarily a frying pan.

Some small animals taken from traps are kept as pets.

Roland certainly didn't want to be a meat-eating animal, and he had no interest in being a pet, but he could clearly feel Changqing's love and care.

He couldn't refuse this kindness, so he just accepted it with a smile.

Seeing Roland about to leave, the World Tree called him and a green ball of light slowly floated over.

"These are all the sixth-level and super-level magics of the nature system. Two of them are the results of my research. If you can learn them, they are yours. Don't worry, there is no quasi-god-level magic that you don't want."

Roland stretched out his right hand to catch the light ball, but when he heard that two of them were the fruits of the World Tree itself, he quickly raised his left hand and held the light ball with both hands.

"Thank you, Lord Changqing, for the gift."

"You guys, you're always like this..."

Roland's action of first raising one hand and then holding the light ball with both hands in an instant made the World Tree speechless, but Roland had already expressed his apology with his eyes, so it was not easy for the World Tree to pursue it too much.

Both Roland and Rogers are pragmatists.

Their faith will never be in a certain god, but in themselves.

After realizing this, World Tree felt a little better.

At least Roland is not an ungrateful person who would betray the goddess even though he basks in her glory.

He just wants to be independent, is that wrong?

of course not.

Parents generally hope that their children will be sensible and obedient. If they are really disobedient, it is also good if they can be self-reliant.

Watching Roland devoutly absorb all the energy from the green light ball, the World Tree closed its eyes and fell asleep.

It is indeed a little tired.

Tired.

If the World Tree also had a heart.

The elves are all its children, most of whom are obedient and mediocre. It was not easy to produce a genius like Rogers who has outstanding talents, but he has a rebellious mind.

It really was powerless and couldn't care less. It could only try its best to accumulate merits in front of the goddess so that it could serve as capital to protect the children on the day of annihilation.

Roland was right about at least one thing: the goddess's gifts were never without cost.

Even the generous and merciful goddess of nature is not so generous as to spread the gospel indiscriminately.

Every generous gift she makes will be paid for on the day of annihilation.

It doesn't know what the cost is.

It now understood Roland to some extent.

This unknown cost is really unsettling. It feels really bad to just pray.

The path of demigod may not be the best path, but it is the most likely path to transcendence that it knows of.

As long as we can survive to the next era, it will be a new life of 10 billion years.

Maybe then it will stop being a tree and be able to stand up and walk on its own two legs.

It also wants to find its former brothers and sisters (except Fansheng) and live happily together.

It longs for the prosperity of the new era.

Seeing that the World Tree fell asleep immediately after finishing everything it did, Roland laughed and shook his head.

This is probably the difference between the spirits of plants and trees and the spirits of flesh and blood.

The World Tree does not have human emotions, and its main job is to fall asleep after finishing its work.

But he is different, he still has a lot to do.

For example, have a good talk with your father-in-law.

The old father-in-law was fully prepared to attack the demigod trap. He didn't know if he could stop it, but he had to tell the old father-in-law the truth.

Roland met Seran on the top of a dead ancient tree dozens of miles away.

This ancient tree is at least two kilometers tall and looks quite old.

Such a majestic ancient tree is a leader even among natural ancient trees. It must have been full of vigor and vitality when it was alive, but now it is just a tall dead tree.

I don’t know how many sixth-level magic props can be refined by using this big tree as material. It’s a shame to just leave it like this.

Roland summoned a wind field, cast a levitation spell on himself, and soon arrived at the top of the ancient tree.

Looking at Seran with his hands behind his back, he suddenly felt that he couldn't understand his old father-in-law.

Seran didn't turn around, but said calmly: "Roland, although you have married a lot of wives recently, you are indeed very good to Meilan."

It would be fine if he didn't talk about it, but Roland felt a little embarrassed when he did.

He had sworn to his father-in-law that he would treat Meilan well, but within a year he had several more wives. Even though he was extremely thick-skinned, he couldn't stand it.

Turning around and looking at Roland's uncomfortable expression, Seran patted his shoulder vigorously and said with a smile:

"What, sorry?"

"Well..." Roland suddenly realized that even the most expressive language can sometimes not express everything.

Instead of explaining or quibbling, it is better to admit it openly.

“Some things are beyond our control.”

"I understand. As long as you are nice to Meilan."

Seran released the white hand that had nearly dislocated Roland's shoulder, and with some memories in his brows, he said leisurely:

"This world is ultimately a man's world. As long as a man has status and position, he will never lack partners to reproduce with."

This statement was too blunt, making Roland's expression even more complicated.

Is this a topic that the father-in-law and son-in-law should discuss?

Seran dared to speak freely, but he didn't dare to continue the topic.

Seeing Roland's cautious look, Seran snorted disdainfully and sneered, "Roland, I thought you were a reckless and reckless guy, but I didn't expect you to be so timid."

"I can do that in front of others, but I don't dare to do that in front of you. You are the elder I respect the most."

"You are now the guardian of the World Tree, and your status is equal to mine. We can treat each other as equals. You are Meilan's husband, and you can also be my little brother. We can talk about our own things."

Roland complained silently in his heart.

According to what you said, I can even write a light novel called "My Wife's Father is My Brother".

Since the old man didn't care, Roland didn't need to be nervous, so he said solemnly: "Brother Seran, I came to you because I have some secrets to share with you."

"Go ahead."

"The Demigod Realm is a trap! A trap with no future!"

Roland came straight to the point and brought up the shocking topic, but Seran's expression did not change much, he just raised his eyebrows slightly.

Roland stated his inference succinctly, staring at Seran all the time, trying to find any emotion on his face, but there was none.

Seran's expression was as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

"Although I'm not absolutely sure, I'm at least 70% to 80% sure. You..."

"What you said is true."

Seran's expression was exceptionally calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

"Becoming a demigod is a small path. The end of the path is not the position of the main god, but an ordinary god serving the main god."

"Then you still want to leave?" Roland was a little puzzled.

The corners of Seran's mouth rose slightly, his smile was a little bitter and helpless.

"Roland, has the Plane Supervisor ever contacted you before?"

"I have asked for it, but I declined. Given the status of the Inspector, I'm afraid he won't be very friendly to me."

Roland did not hide anything.

"That's a chance to go to the divine realm."

Seran showed an envious expression, and felt even more disappointed.

"He never came to see me until I decided to embark on the path of becoming a demigod. Do you know what this means?"

"Brother Seran, the inspector is blind and can't see your potential. Things change over time. When you succeed in your cultivation, I will give him a slap in the face."

Seran laughed out loud at Roland's amusement, but after he finished laughing, his happy expression was replaced by melancholy.

"Thank you, Roland. The Overseer has the power of the Eye of Insight, which can easily see the potential of talents. He will not be wrong. My talent is indeed far inferior to yours, and not as good as Meilan's."

"Of course I know this is not a bright path, but becoming a demigod can at least help me survive until the day of annihilation, and maybe I can even help you."

Roland remained silent.

Seran was right. Many people who embarked on the path to becoming a demigod knew what that path was, but they had no choice.

How many people have the courage to abandon everything they have and step directly into reincarnation?

After having power, strength and wealth, how many people have the courage to press the button to start over?

"Roland, I admire you. You rejected the call of the God's Realm and yet you were able to abandon everything. I can't do that."

Seran's eyes drifted into the distance, skipping over this slightly heavy topic, and said softly: "Do you know the origin of this ancient tree under our feet?"

Roland thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Could it be that it had the potential to become a seedling of the World Tree, but failed because of Changqing's existence?"

"You only guessed half right. Lord Changqing never suppressed the ancient Chunshui tree and even helped her a lot. However, her talent is not even as good as Fansheng's, so she failed."

After a pause, he slowly said: "The ancient spring water tree is my first love."

Roland: “…”

He really couldn't imagine the posture of the elf and the ancient tree making love, and he was too embarrassed to ask.

Seran was too lazy to say anything more, and just said lightly: "It is said that when the day of annihilation comes, ordinary demigods can bring a relative or friend with them to transcend. I plan to take Chunshui with me."

"I'll leave Meilan in your care. Don't let me down."

After saying this, Seran's figure flashed continuously and disappeared into the distance.

Looking at his back, Roland knew that he had made his final choice.

My father-in-law has lived his whole life living under the expectations of others, and this is his last act of willfulness.

He could not say anything except Reethibai.
