"Destroy the sacred tree."

Spencer pointed out Behemoth's most fundamental interest in Nathan Island.

"?"

King Nathan paused for a moment upon hearing Spencer's suggestion.

What kind of bullshit suggestion is this?

Destroying the sacred tree... that's tantamount to killing all the Nathan people who believe in the sacred tree on a spiritual level, and the entire Nathan Island would then have no reason to exist.

"Spencer...you're kidding, aren't you?"

“If you think I’m joking, then maybe I am…” Spencer responded.

“Behemoths are different from you and me. They are essentially a group of businessmen. If there's no profit in it, they'll naturally let Nathan go…”

"Of course, I have to admit that the sacred tree of the King of the Forest is the greatest witchcraft I know. Perhaps in that era when witchcraft was rampant, your decline was indeed regrettable."

"But after thousands of years of continuation and the changing of several eras, the civilizational order formed by the sacred tree of faith really has no reason to exist."

"..."

King Nathan remained silent for a long time in the face of Spencer's taunts.

As the queen of Nathan, she only has the obligation to dedicate herself to the sacred tree and protect her people, and has no right to consider whether the Nathan values ​​formed by the sacred tree are correct.

After a moment of silence, she slowly began to speak again:

"Spencer, you probably know that my father is from China, and I know quite a bit about Chinese culture. There's a saying of theirs that I really like..."

"It is called, 'Heaven has the virtue of cherishing life.'"

"Even what you consider rotten, backward, unbearable, and ignorant, we are still a living civilization... To continue life is our instinct."

"Our civilization... also has the right to survive."

"Even if no one helps us, we will persevere to the very end."

After saying that, King Nathan hung up the phone.

The call did not help Nathan resolve her predicament at all, but it strengthened her resolve to stay committed to the sacred tree.

On the other side, Spencer, whose call was hung up on by Nathan King, was not angry.

He looked out the window at the setting sun, his eyes, somewhat cloudy behind his square-framed glasses, showed not a trace of regret for the impending invasion of Nathan Island by Behemoth.

Although their ancestors had close ties with the ancestors of Nathan Island thousands of years ago, that is all in the past.

The values ​​upheld by Nathan Island have been out of touch with the times for far too long.

Throughout Nathan Island, the cycle of killing continues endlessly in pursuit of the throne, and the unrestrained people of God worship only the power of the individual.

It was a brutal, survival-of-the-fittest jungle environment.

While this environment reflects the laws governing the world and even the universe, Nathan Island has amplified these laws far too much, rendering its inhabitants almost inhuman wild beasts...

Such values ​​of civilization... really have no value in continuing.

At least... that's how they see it from the perspective of the Jade Society.

...

As for whether Nathan Island can stop Behemoth...

Without a doubt, the answer was clear in Spencer's mind.

impossible.

It is absolutely impossible.

According to his knowledge, Behemoth deployed an aircraft carrier as a maritime platform this time, and the weapons and ammunition it carried were mostly modern products.

For a barbaric civilization like Nathan Island to resist the power of such modern firearms, the only way would be for the divine tree to truly manifest its power.

No.

It's not just a miracle.

It would have to be a manifestation of the divine tree, like an atomic bomb explosion... that the divine tree would take off and blow up the aircraft carrier, otherwise it's really impossible.

So...

So isolated and helpless, what can King Nathan do now?

The question flashed through Spencer's mind.

Perhaps all that's left is the sacred tree for prayer?

...

as predicted.

Just as Spencer had predicted, King Nathan, unable to find any outside help, did indeed come to the sacred forest and began to pray that the divine tree would respond to him.

The prophecies from the sacred tree are coming true one by one, but unfortunately... the new king who can break the deadlock and lead Nathan's people out of their predicament has yet to appear.

Oh, sacred tree...

Where exactly is the new king you've hinted at?

You should at least give me a clear answer...

From the prophetic dream a few days ago until now, the divine tree has given her very few responses.

Except when she left Shenzhou, she felt a faint whisper from the divine tree.

Beyond that... the divine tree never responded to her again.

Could it be... that the divine tree has already revealed this?

Nathan recalled the reaction of the Divine Tree when he parted ways with Zhou Fengliu at Shenzhou Airport.

If that man is the new king chosen by the divine tree...

That's not right either.

He's in China, and he's not one of Nathan's people... how could he possibly become Nathan's new king?

King Nathan denied his own speculation.

Unless Zhou Fengliu can appear on Nathan Island now, the whisper given by the Divine Tree at the time was not an indication that he would become the new king...

Chapter 367 The Destined Debt Collector requests to go into battle! (Second Update)

“A Qiu—”

At that moment, Zhou Fengliu, who was in Shenzhou, sneezed for some unknown reason.

Seeing him rub his nose, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine, as if someone was watching him.

He turned his head and looked around, but there was no one there.

It’s weird.

Forget it.

Collecting the debt is the priority.

Destined debt collectors, requesting to join the battle!

Zhou Fengliu was already prepared to launch a blitzkrieg against King Nathan on the island. Stopping Behemoth was the secondary objective of this operation; the primary objective was to capture King Nathan and demand money from him.

Therefore, he specially brought Chen Duo with him this time.

As for the reason for bringing Chen Duo...

Not just because Chen Duo was his top disciple and elite henchman.

Furthermore, Chen Duo's poisonous abilities are quite effective on Nathan Island; one poison can kill a whole group, making her a perfect fit for the job.

...

"Manager Zhou..."

Just as Zhou Fengliu was checking his watch and calculating the time, a man wearing square-framed glasses walked over from not far away.

Xiao Zizai, a temporary worker in East China.

"Old Xiao..."

Zhou Fengliu was quite satisfied the moment he saw Xiao Zizai.

The compassionate and kind-hearted Xiao Zizai was a good man. He still remembered that when he was in Biyou Village, his good colleague from East China loved to give out red envelopes when they met.

"Yes, I received orders to report to you..."

Xiao Zizai put down his backpack, which contained quite a few of his treasures.

"I heard this mission is very important?"

In response to Xiao Zizai's question, Zhou Fengliu nodded and then said:

"That's it."

"Oh, that's how it is."
