One person: Starting with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his grandmaster uncle emerges from seclusion.

"Such epoch-making resources are being wasted on your isolated, dilapidated island, where all you do every day are primitive rituals and battles!"

Ron became more and more agitated as he spoke, and even stood up.

He looked at Zhang Tianyi, trying to win over this super strong person:

“Master, you should understand. We Behemoths represent progress! We represent the future! We are determined to have this tree!”

"We are willing to make concessions for this!"

Ron waved his hand and immediately threw out his chips:

"There is an old Chinese saying: 'Take a step back and the sea and sky will broaden.'"

"King Nathan, aren't you concerned about your guards?"

Ron snapped his fingers and gave the order to his adjutant behind him:

"Notify the containment team! Uncuff all the Nathan Guards we just captured and release them!"

The adjutant was taken aback, but immediately issued the order via walkie-talkie.

Ron turned to look at King Nathan and played his final card:

“I will return all your loyal men to you intact.”

"In exchange, I will not stop you from taking them away from this island."

"But this tree is the one thing no one can take from me, Behemoth!"

This move, a strategic retreat, was executed brilliantly.

This not only gave Zhang Tianyi face, but also firmly held onto core interests, and incidentally undermined Nasen Wang's determination to fight to the death.

King Nathan was stunned.

She looked back at the Nathan Guards who had been freed from their restraints and were helping each other into the hall.

Looking at their wounds and exhaustion.

Her heart, which had always been as firm as a rock, suddenly began to waver.

Is it to die alongside a tree?

Or should she continue living with these people who are willing to give their lives for her?

Zhang Tianyi sat in the chair, a handful of sunflower seeds appearing in his hand at some point.

He clacked his fingers as he watched the play.

"How is it, little girl?"

Zhang Tianyi spat out the sunflower seed shells and casually added insult to injury:

"Their offer is quite sincere."

"Are you going to cling to a piece of wood and become a martyr, or take your people to see the outside world?"

"You choose for yourself."

Inside the Divine Tree Hall, it was so quiet that the only sound could be the crackling of Zhang Tianyi cracking sunflower seeds.

King Nathan's gaze swept over the Nathan Guards, who had been freed from their restraints and were helping each other as they approached.

Guna's armor was mostly shattered, and she was covered in blood.

Anthony's arm hung limply at his sides, clearly broken.

The situation was even more dire for the others, with each person bearing injuries and missing limbs.

Even so, when they looked at King Nathan, their eyes still burned with a fanatical fervor, ready to pounce and bite off the enemy's throat at any moment.

"king……"

Guna stepped forward, knelt on one knee, her voice hoarse but firm:

"As long as you give the order, we can still fight! Even if we shed our last drop of blood, we will never let the Divine Tree fall into the hands of these invaders!"

"Yes! Let's fight them!" Anthony gritted his teeth and echoed.

King Nathan looked at these warriors, whose loyalty bordered on foolishness, and his lips trembled slightly.

In the past, she would have led them to their deaths under the sacred tree without hesitation, fulfilling the destiny of all the Nathan kings.

But now, looking at Ron's smug face, and then at Zhang Tianyi sitting on the sidelines eating sunflower seeds and watching the show, he was quite taken aback.

She suddenly wondered if this meaningless sacrifice was really worth it.

"Forget it, Your Majesty."

A somewhat weary voice broke the somber atmosphere.

Elijah stepped out from behind the crowd.

He ignored his companions who were glaring at him, and walked straight up to King Nathan, letting out a deep sigh.

"Don't send them to their deaths anymore."

Elijah pointed to the divine tree behind him, which was emitting a faint light, his tone carrying a long-suppressed disgust.

"This tree is not a god; it's a selfish vampire."

“We, the guardians, the inhabitants of the island, and even you…”

Elijah looked into King Nathan's eyes and tore open the bloody truth:

"You're nothing but fertilizer for it. When you get old, or when you're defeated in the ritual, your flesh and blood, your soul, will return to this tree and become nourishment for its next growth."

"Shut up! Elijah! You traitor!" Guna roared and tried to rush forward.

“Let him finish speaking.” King Nathan raised his hand, stopping Guna.

Chapter 294 Buying a bomb and putting it in the bedroom? No shamelessness needed, everyone's an expert!

Elijah chuckled self-deprecatingly:

“I’m not betraying you, my king. I’m betraying this disgusting rule.”

"Behemoth wants this tree? Then give it to them. This is a mess that should have been eliminated by the times long ago."

Elijah stepped back half a step, knelt on one knee, and spoke with unprecedented seriousness:

"Let's take off our shackles, lead everyone away from here, go see the outside world, and live a few days of normal life."

The hall fell into dead silence.

The Nathan guards looked at each other, their hearts filled with anger at Elijah's betrayal, but seeing their comrade covered in blood, none of them could utter a word of rebuttal.

King Nathan remained silent for a long time.

It went on for so long that Ron's hands, gripping the walkie-talkie, became sweaty.

Finally, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Those shoulders, which had been standing ramrod straight, seemed to relax slightly at that moment.

She didn't look at the sacred tree, but turned her head to look at Zhang Tianyi sitting in the chair.

"Tian Shu Zhenren".

King Nathan bowed slightly, performing a junior's greeting.

"Thank you for your protection today. I am willing to abandon the sacred tree and leave with the islanders."

"Figured out?"

Zhang Tianyi threw down the sunflower seeds in his hand, clapped his hands, and stood up.

"That's more like it. You're so young, why are you acting like a martyr by staying with a piece of wood all day?"

"The outside world is so much better. There's cola, fried chicken, and video game consoles. Once you leave the island, you'll realize what kind of primitive life you were living in this wretched place."

Ron was overjoyed to hear that King Nathan had personally agreed to give up!

He forcefully suppressed the urge to burst into laughter and quickly waved for his men to clear the way.

"How wise! Your Majesty, you have made the most correct choice!"

Ron stepped forward, beaming, and patted his chest to assure him:

"Behemoth's transport ship is already waiting in port! The most luxurious cabins, the best medical team! We will safely transport you to any country you want to go!"

At the last moment, they not only captured the Divine Tree without bloodshed, but also perfectly avoided conflict with the monster Zhang Tianyi.

Ron now finds Zhang Tianyi more pleasing to the eye than he would his own father!

"Sir! We are so grateful to have you here today to uphold justice!"

Ron moved closer to Zhang Tianyi, adopting an extremely humble posture:

"When I return to Beijing, I will definitely pay a personal visit to the Celestial Master's Mansion and present them with a generous gift!"

"No problem, no problem. I'm the easiest person to deal with."

Zhang Tianyi nodded with a smile.

The dust has settled.

Having received Zhang Tianyi's promise, Ron felt like he was walking on clouds, his back teeth practically showing with delight.

"Quickly! Get moving!"

Ron turned around and waved frantically at the soldiers, giving them orders with composure:

"Summon all those with telekinetic abilities! Be careful! Pack them up along with the soil underneath! This is our board's cash cow for the next hundred years!"

"If anyone manages to chip off a piece of bark from a tree, I'll throw him into the sea to feed the sharks!"

Soon, many people with special abilities stepped forward and began to carefully "dig" the soil using their telekinetic powers.

Zhang Chulan stood aside, watching these foreigners treat the sacred tree like their own ancestor, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but after glancing at Zhang Tianyi in front of him, he swallowed his words.

"Alright, stop looking."

Zhang Tianyi stretched and yawned widely.
