Under One Person, Golden Light Transforms into God

The hall of the Divine Tree was pure white; even the soil on the ground looked like white crystals.

A withered tree stands quietly in the center, appearing unremarkable.

With a 'bang,' the door slammed shut. Zhang Chulan's heart skipped a beat. He looked back but could no longer see any trace of the door, as if he had entered a secluded space.

King Nasen slowed his pace and invited Zhang Huaidan to stand beside him, but seeing that he was unmoved, he introduced him, "Huaidan Zhenren, this is the sacred tree that our Nasen people have worshipped for generations."

Zhang Huaidan smiled and said, "It doesn't look particularly unusual."

Zhang Chulan peeked out and saw that it was indeed an ordinary dead tree.

Baron rubbed his eyes. He was also extremely curious about the sacred tree on Nathan Island, which was rumored to be incredibly powerful.

I never expected that what I saw with my own eyes was just an unremarkable dead tree.

Although Li Muxuan had lived on the island for decades, he had never seen the divine tree, and his gaze lingered on it without restraint.

Seeing the actions of the group of Nathan Guards, each of them had a hint of annoyance in their eyes.

When did the sacred tree become an object for others to observe?
And it was these people who killed Joachim.

However, since it was King Nathan's choice, they could not refuse and could only glare at Zhang Chulan and the others with displeasure.

The two groups clashed, but King Nathan remained oblivious, returning the gaze with a smile: "Yes, it may seem ordinary, but it is precisely because of the divine tree that there are the children of the gods, the guards, and the king."

She smiled gently: "I have a part of the Xia Kingdom's blood in me. I heard a lot about the Xia Kingdom when I was a child. To borrow a sentence from the Xia Kingdom's scriptures, 'To give birth without possessing, to act without relying on one's own power, to nurture without dominating, this is called profound virtue.' In my mind, the divine tree is profound virtue."

The Nathan Guards immediately changed color.

He stopped paying attention to Zhang Chulan and the others, and stared blankly at the withered tree in the center.

Those eyes shone with boundless piety; if the sacred tree asked them to die, they would not hesitate in the slightest.

Zhang Chulan saw this and felt a chill run down his spine. As a native of Xia, he couldn't understand these people's mentality.

Barron seemed thoughtful. If these people were considered to be followers of a certain religion, it would be much easier to understand.

Every Nathan's is a fanatical believer, and it is not surprising that fanatics are willing to give their lives for their beliefs.

Zhang Huaidan nodded: "Is this tree your faith?"

"That Master Huai Dan can be understood in this way."

Zhang Huaidan smiled and said, "Unfortunately, no matter how strong one's faith is, it cannot stop warships and cannons."

Nathan's men immediately showed anger.

King Nathan suddenly chuckled: "What does it matter whether we can stop them or not?"

"Oh?"

"As King Nathan, my duty is to guard Nathan Island, protect the sacred tree, and ensure that our civilization continues to thrive in this world."

“I did the same after leaving Xia Kingdom, but unfortunately, there is no place for Nathan in this vast world.”

"Then, it's better to accept fate with equanimity."

King Nathan's face showed a look of realization, as did the Nathan Guards.

Before Zhang Huaidan could speak, Li Muxuan behind him gritted his teeth and said, "Foolish!"

Zhang Chulan also said, "So you're determined to fight Behemoth? You absolutely cannot win. Countless people on the island will die because of you!"

King Nathan said calmly, “There is one thing you are wrong about. The Divine Tree does not require anyone to live or die with it, not even the Guardians and the King. Those who remain on the island and are determined to fight Behemoth are all following the guidance of their own hearts.”

Zhang Chulan opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. They were enjoying themselves, and you were jumping out and chattering away. What's the difference between you and a clown?

Li Muxuan became agitated: "Guidance? Where did this guidance come from? How could you believe this is guidance from within your own heart! Behemoth's cannon will shatter all of this! Child, wake up! You've been brainwashed by the Divine Tree! Come with me, and your mother, and leave this place!"

Guna in Nasen's guard glared angrily, while Li Muxuan's face showed a look of sorrow.

What a twist of fate! Coming to this wretched island, his daughter parted ways with him, and his granddaughter is even more tragic—she's been brainwashed by the sacred tree and has never even called him "Grandpa" since she was little.

"brainwashing?"

King Nathan smiled: "The divine tree and the will of past kings have always guided me, like a lighthouse in the sea, clearly illuminating the way forward."

Li Muxuan closed his eyes, feeling utterly dejected! Wasn't this brainwashing?
Zhang Chulan and Baron were also taken aback. King Nason had just admitted it so openly?

The so-called sacred tree and the will of past kings are clearly not of their own volition, just by hearing about them.

Nathan King withdrew his gaze, no longer focusing on Li Muxuan and the others: "Master Huaidan, to be chosen by the Divine Tree to become a sacrifice, I think you must be a special being who can understand this feeling."

Zhang Huaidan said, "What if you've really been brainwashed?"

"Nonsense!"

"You don't understand at all!"

"Ha, after all, they are not the children of God."

Nathan Wang was slightly surprised: "Master Huaidan, then I would like to ask you a question: can you decide that Xia language is your mother tongue?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan and Baron were shocked. From this perspective, who in the world hasn't been brainwashed?
Li Muxuan was also taken aback.

Zhang Huaidan said, "No."

King Nathan was about to speak.

Zhang Huaidan frankly stated, "As long as you and I are still living between heaven and earth, it is impossible to obtain true freedom."

Nasen Wang's calm expression rippled slightly, and his brows furrowed: "To be able to say such things and have such insights, it's no wonder that True Person Huaidan was chosen by the Divine Tree."

Zhang Huaidan's face remained expressionless: "Just say it straight. What do you want from bringing me here? You can't just be spouting these vague and ambiguous words."

Zhang Chulan and Balun felt a chill run down their spines, and Li Muxuan also reacted, cautiously surveying their surroundings once more.

King Nathan's expression softened: "You've misunderstood, Master. I just hope you can understand what we, who are still on the island, are thinking right now."

"The King and Guards of Nathan are the chosen ones among God's people. We are born from the tree, and after death we will peacefully return to the tree's embrace. This is a completely different way of life, free from fear and hesitation, loss and hatred..."

Zhang Huaidan waved her hand to interrupt: "I don't understand, but I respect you. Anything else?"

The group of Nathan guards looked displeased at his disrespect.

King Nathan sighed: "Joaquinna died because of the real man, and I hope that the real man can become Nathan's Guard."

"king!"

"this!"

The guards were greatly alarmed.

Zhang Chulan and the others behind him changed their expressions drastically; as expected, there was no good medicine in the gourd!
Zhang Huaidan asked in surprise, "You can designate who will be the guard? You are just the king."

Nathan King said calmly, "As long as the real person agrees, I will have a way."

Zhang Huaidan chuckled and said leisurely, "What if I say no?"

King Nathan laughed as well: "How can a true person step into the divine realm and defy the will of the divine tree?"

Children born on Nathan Island, regardless of their innate talents, will receive the blessing of the divine tree and become extraordinary beings.

It can be said that the uniqueness of Nathan Island is entirely due to the existence of the sacred tree.

The people of God are born superior to others.

With the sacred tree as its foundation, Nathan Island is the kingdom of God!

Every Nathan King and Nathan Guard has been appointed by the Divine Tree, without exception throughout the ages.

Every King Nathan and Nathan Guard has accepted their mission willingly, without hesitation. But today, Zhang Huaidan resisted. The Divine Tree never forces anyone, but that doesn't mean it lacks the power to do so!
A thousand years ago, it took the combined power of an entire civilization to banish the sacred tree to Nathan Island.

No matter how powerful Zhang Huaidan is, how could he possibly refuse the Divine Tree within the Divine Kingdom!
Nathan King smiled calmly and said, "Master Huaidan, I will appoint you as the First Guard!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Chulan and the others behind him were filled with shock and anger, but before they could even maintain their emotions for a moment, the withered tree in the Divine Tree Hall trembled slightly!
The surge of thought suddenly became overwhelming!
It wasn't just people at Li Muxuan's level who had a vague feeling; everyone in the hall felt that profound and boundless fluctuation.

No, at this moment, it can no longer be described as fluctuations, but as a storm!

Mental storm!

The group of Nathan Guards were overjoyed and even wept with happiness.

"The Divine Tree!"

"The divine tree has been revived!"

"The sacred tree is responding to us!"

The six guards present bowed down in worship, showing their unreserved devotion to the sacred tree.

Elijah looked slightly conflicted, but in the midst of this mental storm, he quickly became more devout than anyone else.

King Nathan slowly bowed down. Having seen the god of his heart, how could he not worship?
"What the hell..."

A mental storm raged and howled as Zhang Chulan's knees slowly approached the ground. He made a sound from deep within his teeth, but it was all in vain.

The spiritual energy erupting from the divine tree was too strong!

They are so powerful that humans cannot contend with them!

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Baron was even more pathetic than him, already kneeling on the ground.

He released golden light to resist, then transformed it into lightning magic to resist, but it was to no avail.

This mental storm directly crushed him on the spiritual level, like a rushing river washing away a trace of ink. It's remarkable that he could withstand it for so long.

Zhang Chulan could already feel the solid ground beneath his knees, and he was on the verge of tears: 'Brother Dan, this is awful!'

'Bang~ Pfft~'

The sound of knees hitting the ground was followed by the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground.

Zhang Chulan struggled to move his eyes; it was Feng Baobao.

Bao'er didn't kneel down; she lay directly on the ground, waving her hands around like a frog being held down.

There were still people who hadn't fallen. Li Muxuan opened his magnetic field, contracted it, and firmly protected his body.

Spiritual energy, also considered part of a magnetic field, can create barriers...

The magnetic field collapsed with a roar, and Li Muxuan could only grit his teeth and watch his knees hit the ground.

An immense sense of shame welled up inside him. He had sworn never to kneel before anyone, yet today he was being subjected to this repeated humiliation.

Kneeling before Zhang Huaidan was a result of violent suppression, but being forced to kneel by the divine tree was something he could never accept.

This wretched island, these broken trees, shattered his imagined family bliss. How could this be...?

The shame and resentment dissipated; under the oppressive force of that immense spiritual power, human emotions were truly insignificant and humble.

The outline of a tree gradually emerged in his mind.

It's not tall, but it's so sacred!

Despite being withered, it is incredibly solemn!

'Sacred tree, sacred tree, I will protect it, I will continue its legacy.'

Li Muxuan's mind is gradually becoming distorted.

……

King Nathan lay prostrate on the ground, his will and mental storm resonating, and he felt no pressure whatsoever, but rather a sweet sensation on his face.

The divine kingdom arose from the sacred tree.

The people of God are born from the Kingdom of God.

Whether it's the king or the guard, they are both among the people of the gods.

Is it not only natural to dedicate everything to the Kingdom of God and give everything to the Tree of God?

Zhang Huaidan may be extraordinary and have some abilities, but what can he do in the face of the revived divine tree?
They will accept their fate of becoming guards and dedicate everything to the divine tree!
'Tap tap~~'

The unhurried footsteps, suddenly vibrating his eardrums, interrupted King Nathan's thoughts.

A thunderbolt seemed to strike her heart, and she abruptly raised her head.

In an instant, those calm eyes were filled with an overwhelming sense of astonishment.

What did she see?
The man was walking calmly toward the sacred tree!

The spiritual connection was broken, and King Nathan wondered if he was dreaming!

The divine tree revived, and she, as the queen, felt it far more deeply than others. It was a vast and inconceivable existence, the true god in the hearts of all the children of the gods!
The power of the true God is something that mortals can never resist. How could Zhang Huaidan remain calm?

The Nathan Guards also raised their heads, their faces showing different expressions, but all sharing a sense of bewilderment, seriously doubting the reality of what they were seeing.

'Rustle!'

As Zhang Huaidan approached, the divine tree trembled.

The dry branches sliced ​​through the air, producing a metallic clang.

That enormous and terrifying spiritual energy suddenly contracted, like a tidal wave, pressing down on the mortal who dared to approach the true god!

As Li Muxuan's distorted mind began to clear, before he could even stand up, he stared wide-eyed at the young man's retreating figure.

Unable to maintain his composure under the mental storm raging from the divine tree, he could hardly imagine that anyone in this world could be so calm and collected.

"Brother Dan..."

Zhang Chulan raised his head in a daze. If Li Muxuan couldn't resist him, then he naturally couldn't either.

However, the mental pressure that was about to break him suddenly vanished.

Now that the figure in the background is in sight, how could one not understand that the divine tree ignored these ant-like beings and concentrated its spiritual storm to its peak, just to make that one person stop and that one person submit?

"Master Huai Dan, hiss!"

Barron shuddered, his feelings indescribable.

With a quick somersault, Feng Baobao was no longer a frog with its back held down, but one of only two people standing up.

She watched Zhang Huaidan's retreating figure and expressed her deepest, most genuine feelings.

"Zhang Huaidan, you're really awesome..."

King Nathan and Nathan Guard were stunned, unable to believe that a person could do such a thing.

However, their unhurried pace would not be slowed down by their belief or not.

Even as the divine tree unleashed an even more intense spiritual storm, the man did not stop.

The ceaseless flow of the river can wash away the ink stains.

However, it could not break through the reefs standing on the riverbed.

Who cares about the wind and rain! (End of Chapter)
