Mortals get a golden finger for immortal cultivation every year

Since the miraculous medicine refused to leave with him, Zhao Shuang had no choice but to give up.

After all, the other party has become a divine medicine at the level of a god-king. It can be said that even the heavens would not find it easy to obtain such a divine medicine.

Under these circumstances, he had no choice but to give up. However, he did not expect that the other party could reach such a level. This was quite unexpected, even greatly unexpected. He had never thought that the other party could become a god. However, he did not expect that the other party could reach this level in just 100,000 years.

This was enough to prove that the guy's secret was absolutely true, and under these circumstances, he couldn't very well ask the other person to come with him.

……

Zhao Shuang then left, handing the spring water over to the fairy, thus completing the transaction between the two.

After completing this task, Zhao Shuang obtained several more Qilin Divine Fruits and left immediately. For him, the greatest significance of coming to the Conferred God Platform was to obtain the divine medicine, but without it, it was meaningless. Naturally, he needed to leave quickly.

After handing over the Qilin Supreme Perfection Fruit to others, Zhao Shuang chose to rest for a while, because the Kunlun Realm was about to encounter a huge problem. If they couldn't overcome it, Kunlun might really be divided up by the Heavenly Court Realm and the Hell Realm.

So, both morally and logically, he had to help, but a guest arrived while he was resting.

This guest was none other than the Moon Goddess. He did have some goodwill towards her, but not much, since their relationship wasn't great, and his goodwill was only because she was good-looking.

"What is your purpose in coming here? Just say it directly, stop wasting time. I'm leaving soon and returning to the Kunlun Realm, because the price to pay to resolve the troubles that are about to happen there is unimaginable. So just say what you have to say, don't beat around the bush."

These blunt words made the Moon God frown, but he could understand.

"I came to find you precisely because you are going to the Kunlun Realm. I have something to give you, something that should be of great use to you when you arrive in the Kunlun Realm. I also hope that you can help the Kunlun Realm resolve this crisis. If the Kunlun Realm becomes strong, then the Guanghan Realm will also benefit greatly. So I hope you can accept this."

"Since it's something good, how could I possibly refuse it? Tell me, what is it?"

Zhao Shuang also frowned, then opened his eyes and looked at the Moon Goddess in front of him. He really didn't understand why the Moon Goddess would give him such a good thing. It was truly an unbelievable thing.

He knew the Moon Goddess's personality very well; it was truly unbelievable that she would give him something so valuable. But since it was unbelievable, he was even more curious—curious what she would give him. When the Moon Goddess took out what she wanted to give him, his eyes widened immediately. He had only narrowed his eyes slightly before, but now he was utterly shocked, jumping out of bed. He had never expected the Moon Goddess to bring out something like this. Giving it to him was completely beyond his expectations and imagination.

"Are you insane? This is the Heart of the Tree God! You should know what this means. It means that if something happens to me, or if this Heart of the Tree God malfunctions, the Guanghan Realm will lose its spiritual root. Although it's possible to cultivate a new spiritual root later, it will take time, measured in tens of thousands of years. So you should understand what this means. It means that if something goes wrong, the Guanghan Realm could very well decline completely. Don't you understand the consequences of your actions? You're putting the entire future of the Guanghan Realm on my shoulders. The Kunlun Realm is already giving me enough headaches, and now you're introducing the Guanghan Realm to me. What are you thinking?!"

Zhao Shuang was truly shocked, utterly astonished. He never expected the Moon Goddess to make such a bold decision. This decision left him speechless with shock. If he refused, everything the Moon Goddess had done would be in vain. If he accepted, it meant he would have not only the Kunlun Realm behind him, but also the Guanghan Realm. The pressure from these two worlds was almost unbearable, even for him. "You should take this back. I can't accept it. If I do, it's equivalent to taking the entire Guanghan Realm. I can't do that. If others find out, the consequences will be severe. They might even attack me directly to deal with the Guanghan Realm. So this thing will only bring me trouble. I know you want to use this to help me recover some of my strength without violating the rules, but that's just your opinion. In short, if I accept this, I might break the rules we made, and the Heavenly Realm might find an excuse to make me leave the Kunlun Realm. By then, it will be too late to regret it." So I can't possibly have this thing. It's not very useful to me, not as useful as you imagine. You think having this thing will guarantee my safety, that no accidents will happen, and at least save my life? But you're wrong. This thing won't save my life; it will bring me endless trouble. So why are you so stupid? Why do you think this thing can benefit me? I admit that with this thing, no matter how serious my injury, I can recover instantly, and I could even say I won't suffer any harm at all. But have you considered the huge trouble this thing will bring me?

"You know there will be trouble, but you already have too much trouble. You don't need to worry about the Heart of the Tree God. The trouble this thing brings is far less than the trouble you already have. Don't you know how much trouble you already have? If I don't give it to you, how will you survive those certain death crises? And even if I give it to you, it might not help you survive; it can only increase your chances of survival. How much trouble will you face next? I think you know better than I do. They will stop at nothing and use every means to kill you. Yes, not only Heavenly Land, but all those forces will also target you because you..." "You offended far too many forces back then, and you left behind far too many things. To avoid losing them, they will do everything in their power to eliminate you, to completely erase you, and will never give you another chance to reincarnate. This is their only chance. If they don't seize this opportunity and wait until you fully recover your former strength, they will inevitably face a frenzied revenge. And with their power, besides the Heavenly Realm, who can withstand your ambition? Even the Heavenly Realm has suffered heavy losses from your revenge time and time again, requiring enormous costs and a very long time to recover completely."

"They don't want to lay a hand on you, but in reality, you left behind far too many things, and they were very lucky to obtain them. Once they have those things, they can't let go. Under these circumstances, you and they are mortal enemies. Even if some of the things were given to them by you, they will still attack you to avoid losing them, because great kindness is like great enmity. Don't you understand this principle?"

“I understand what you’re saying, but great kindness can turn into great enmity. I’ve done you a lot of kindness, so why don’t you take revenge on me? If you had taken revenge on me, I might already be dead, right?”

Seeing that there was no way to persuade her, Zhao Shuang smiled and said.

"Can you stop grinning like that? The reason I haven't retaliated is because I know I can get more out of you than they can. They know perfectly well that their relationship with you isn't as good as it seems; it's far superior to ours. Under these circumstances, how could I possibly retaliate? If I couldn't get anything from you, there's no doubt I would have taken action against you. Because I don't want to lose what you gave me, but now I can get something better, so why should I cling to those things? Right? If I could have everything you have..." Then there's no need for me to attack you now, because I believe I can obtain even more valuable things from you, things that will allow me to become a god, or even a celestial being. Under these circumstances, how could I possibly attack you? I know I was wrong about what happened before, but I won't apologize unless you can recover your peak strength. Otherwise, you can't expect a god to apologize to you; you should understand this better than I do. This Heart of the Tree God is my compensation to you, and I hope you can accept it. If you can't accept it, then there's nothing I can do; I'll have to give this Heart of the Tree God to someone else.”

Zhao Shuang was speechless at the Moon Goddess's words. He knew very well that the Moon Goddess could not entrust the Heart of the Tree God to anyone else, nor could she do so, because doing so would be tantamount to entrusting the future of the Guanghan Realm to that person. The Moon Goddess was definitely not that foolish. Therefore, the Moon Goddess's final choice was only Zhao Shuang. If Zhao Shuang did not accept, the Moon Goddess would definitely still entrust the Heart of the Tree God to the Tree God.

"Alright, alright, stop rambling. I'll say it again: I absolutely cannot accept this. Accepting it would only bring me more trouble, more problems. In this situation, unless I'm courting death, why would I be so stupid? Besides, I feel that you're handing this over to me to use someone else to do your dirty work. You want to use them to get rid of me and get what I gave you, because I can't take it back yet. In this situation, all you can do is use them to do your dirty work. Of course, you might not mean it that way, but that's what I think. Under these circumstances, do you still dare to hand this over to me? Because I have every reason and responsibility to suspect you like this."

"You can take this back or give it to someone else, that's your freedom, but I will absolutely not accept it." The Moon Goddess remained unchanged, her gaze and expression unwavering. Zhao Shuang could only continue to refuse, because he truly could not accept this; the consequences of accepting it would be far too severe.

"You must accept this no matter what, because only if you accept it can I feel at ease letting you go to the Kunlun Realm. Otherwise, forget about going to the Kunlun Realm. I know that with this Heart of the Tree God, you will possess a portion of divine power, but this doesn't violate the rules. You should know this very well, because many people choose this method, but they are different from you. They cannot call upon the full power of the gods, but they can still call upon divine power. I am only giving you a portion of divine power. As long as you can mobilize it, there will be no problem. And how much you can mobilize is your skill, it has nothing to do with those people. No matter how jealous or opposed they are, it's useless. Being able to mobilize divine power is definitely one of the ways to save your life. You should know very well that they will not miss this opportunity no matter what. It may be the only chance to kill you. Under such circumstances, how could they possibly let go of such an opportunity?"

"So you can say I'm doing this to cause you trouble, or you can think I'm saving you. In any case, you have to accept this. No matter what, you must integrate this Heart of the Tree God into your heart. That way, even if you say you've broken the rules, it won't matter, because you haven't broken them."

"When did you become so long-winded? But you're right, since you've put it that way, what can I say? I can only agree. But I also hope you understand that if something unexpected really happens, I hope you can bring the Guanghan Realm to join. The other world—which world is that? You should know, right? As long as you join that world, I can guarantee that the Guanghan Realm will be safe for the next 100,000 years. But if something really happens, just pretend I didn't say anything. I never imagined that one day I would actually borrow the power of the Tree God; this is something I never expected."

Zhao Shuang had no choice but to accept the Heart of the Tree God; he had no other option at the moment.

There was no other choice but to accept it.
