The flames burned her skin, but she remained unmoved.
She will give her life to plead with the sacred tree for the surviving Nathan people to have a way to live.
Gradually... she was enveloped by branches.
In the last moment before her vision disappeared, she saw the burning divine tree gradually transform into a man whose back she could only see.
She tried desperately to see the man's face, but she was always just a few seconds too late.
...
In fact, she had dreamt this dream several times, but each time she could not see the man's face clearly.
Having been King Nathan for so long, she knew this was a prophecy given to her by the divine tree.
Nathan Island is about to face an unprecedented crisis... and the only way to save Nathan Island is through the change of kings.
The broken golden branch signifies that the gears of fate have begun to turn.
The new king who will save Nathan, as prophesied by the divine tree, will definitely not follow the normal order of kingship on Nathan Island: when the old king dies, the divine tree designates a child born on the island to become the new king.
So...
In this prophecy of the changing of the old and new kings in a dream, only she sacrificed and dedicated herself.
He was killed by the new king, thus helping him ascend to the throne...
So... Tree of Gods, are you sending me to find a new king who can help Nathan overcome this crisis?
The current King Nathan looked in the direction of the tree and wondered if the tree meant for her to search for the new king in her dream because she couldn't see his face clearly.
"Your Majesty, I have made all the arrangements. We will depart tomorrow."
Several Nathan guards dressed in coarse gray robes appeared below the throne. Elijah looked at King Nathan and slowly spoke.
“Hmm…” King Nathan responded.
...
Time, like a holiday, flies by in the blink of an eye.
The next day.
King Nasen, escorted by four Nasen guards, began his journey across the ocean to China to obtain Buddhist scriptures.
First, they needed to travel by boat to the nearest civilized country on the mainland, and then take transportation to the airport to board a plane bound for China.
After entering the country, they will travel by car to the venue to meet with various supernatural organizations.
The journey involved crossing half the globe.
After some twists and turns, King Nathan, along with her four disciples—no, her guards—arrived in the territory of Shenzhou.
Prior to the meeting, they had not engaged in any further negotiations with Nadutong.
This resulted in them having only passes, but actually going to the venues set up by the local authorities themselves.
Elijah had visited China before and had some understanding of it.
Therefore, he rented a large Jinbei van and, along with his king and fellow Nathan Guards, drove under the cover of night to the meeting place.
...
"It's better to be in the outer area; the work is easy and simple."
At that moment, Zhou Fengliu, dressed in a well-fitting suit, sighed as he stood by a roadside leading to the venue.
He wore a hearing aid in his left ear, which was considered a semi-magical artifact, capable of translating common languages in real time.
Not far from him, Feng Baobao, Chen Duo, and Zhang Chulan were checking the vehicles heading towards this road.
Those with permits are allowed to pass, those without are turned back, and those who cause trouble are apprehended.
The job was simple, and the overtime pay was triple—it was exactly the kind of job Chen Duo had always dreamed of.
"Any situation at the sentry posts?"
Zhou Fengliu inquired about the other sentry posts over the walkie-talkie.
"No..."
Tao Tao's voice came back first, followed by the other group leaders who also said there was no problem.
"Brother Liu, can I go for a smoke? I don't see any cars around right now."
Zhang Chulan, craving a cigarette, jogged over to report to Zhou Fengliu.
"Chu Lan, is your smoking habit that strong?" Zhou Fengliu asked, glancing at Zhang Chu Lan.
"There's nothing I can do; it's a bad habit I picked up before."
Zhang Chulan scratched his head, then reached for a pack of traditional cigarettes in his pocket.
"Smoking is bad for your health. Why don't you switch to an electronic cigarette?"
"E-cigarettes? No way, Brother Liu, I'm a traditionalist, I don't smoke that new-school stuff, it's just for your throat."
Zhang Chulan was about to light one for himself.
cluster--
As a small flame appeared in the night, before he could even light it, a large Jinbei van drove up in the distance, causing him to temporarily put down his cigarette.
"A big golden cup, is that alright...? Will it even get a pass?"
Just as Zhang Chulan finished his exclamation, Chen Duo, who was about to check the pass, seemed to have been hit by something, staggered a couple of steps, and covered her face.
Immediately afterwards, the driver of the large Jinbei van slammed on the gas pedal, making the engine roar, and charged through the checkpoint.
"Sister Bao'er! Stop the car!"
Upon seeing this, Zhang Chulan's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly instructed Feng Baobao, who was closer, to stop the car.
Feng Baobao didn't hesitate either. With a whoosh, the Okamoto 0.01 knife slipped from her sleeve, and she gripped it in her hand. She then sliced off the front tire and rim in half.
This maneuver caused the accelerating Jinbei van to skid and lose control, crashing into the fence and coming to a stop.
Scratch——
The door of the large golden van was opened, and a woman in a white robe got out.
Feng Baobao took the initiative and launched a flying kick, knocking the woman to the ground, followed by a flurry of kicks.
Seeing this, the other passengers got off the bus and called out to Feng Baobao.
"Stop! How dare you assault our noble King?!" Nathan Guard Alfonso shouted at Feng Baobao from the driver's seat.
"king..."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan, who had just run over, froze instantly. He glanced at the Nasen Guards present and silently swallowed.
Depend on.
It really is Nathan Guard... Could this one really be King Nathan?
Thinking of this, Zhang Chulan swallowed hard, then turned his head to look at his leader, Zhou Fengliu.
At this moment, Zhou Fengliu walked over calmly. He glanced at Chen Duo first, and then spoke:
"Who hit you just now? Go, give him a good beating."
...
P.S.: I pray for everything as usual. Goodnight and sweet dreams to all my godfathers.

"?"
Upon hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, Zhang Chulan, who had just turned his head, raised an eyebrow and immediately displayed a confused expression.
Am I right?
What did Brother Liu just say?
Want to get rid of those two guys?
Is Chen Duo really going to carry it out?
Zhang Chulan then turned his gaze towards Chen Duo's direction.
Upon hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, Chen Duo first nodded, and then immediately spotted Alfonso, who had just shot her with a stone, among the Nathan Guards.
She walked over and, in front of everyone, actually slapped Alfonso twice.
She didn't hit very hard, so the damage wasn't great, but the humiliation was extremely strong.
The two of them kept fighting, leaving Alfonso, the curly-haired guy, completely dumbfounded.
no...
She really dares to do that?
"Are you out of your mind? Does nobody take our King Nathan seriously? This guy who's just a sentry post dares to beat up our King Nathan and even slap me!"
Alfonso was finding it hard to tolerate, because from Nathan's perspective, it was too humiliating.
