Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five

It's him.

The person the divine tree hinted at... was Zhou Fengliu.

She was right; everything was a destiny arranged by the divine tree long ago.

She thought about the beginning, but she didn't expect the ending.

Zhou Fengliu was indeed the destined one, yet... he was the one who destroyed the divine tree, not the one who saved it.

Tears welled up in her eyes. As the Queen of Nathan, she could clearly sense that the life force of the divine tree was disappearing.

The sacred tree.

It's really destroyed!

...

Although the Divine Tree had just been destroyed once by White using the Annihilation Curse, its foundation was not damaged that time.

That thing, like a heart, is the foundation upon which this divine tree can grow again. If it is destroyed while buried underground, the tree cannot survive even without deliberately damaging it.

However, this time was different. Zhou Fengliu's move of uprooting the Nathan Tree directly revealed the core of the tree.

If the core is destroyed, the divine tree will die.

As Zhou Fengliu emerged from behind the tree, Alfonso's expression shifted from bewilderment to anger, while Elijah beside him wore a complex expression.

He never expected Zhou Fengliu to do such a thing.

He thought Zhou Fengliu would help King Nasen, but he never expected... this is how he "helped" him!

Even though someone else did the work for him, he found it hard to be happy...

...

P.S.: I pray for everything as usual. Goodnight and sweet dreams to all my godfathers.

Chapter 396 I am the Nathan Divine Tree! (First Update)

I am the Divine Tree.

I'm about to start lying.

wrong.

It's my turn to speak.

I was born over a thousand years ago in an era when witchcraft was prevalent. The genius wizards of the Kingdom of Nathan used some forbidden witchcraft to bring me into being.

According to their ideas, they want to create an ideal kingdom that belongs exclusively to the gifted, and I am the foundation of this kingdom.

In this kingdom, everyone is a gifted being, and as the price for becoming a gifted being, these gifted beings become nourishment for me after they die.

As the cycle continues, I will grow and my abilities will increase. After several generations, everyone in the ideal kingdom will be a so-called gifted individual, and I will help them within the scope of the Kingdom of Nathan.

In this process, more and more people of the Kingdom of Nathan came to believe in me. They regarded me as a god, called themselves the children of the god, and were willing to sacrifice themselves to enhance my power and prolong my life...

They became me, became part of the collective will, and together we protected the existence of the Kingdom of Nathan.

However, my good fortune didn't last long. Before I could grow into adulthood, the other kingdoms on this continent learned of my existence in the Kingdom of Nathan.

With my ability to alter the number of gifted individuals within a kingdom, I am naturally a target that those kingdoms must compete for.

Even if they can't win the battle, they will absolutely not allow the Kingdom of Nathan to continue to develop.

Everyone knows how terrifying a nation full of gifted individuals would be; if it were to wage war, it could undoubtedly rule the entire continent.

However, they were wrong.

Nathan is the ideal kingdom for those with abilities. In this kingdom, there are no greedy people or rabble. The people of the Kingdom of Nathan do not have that kind of worldly desire for conquest.

Unfortunately... no one believes it. When they assume you have it, you'd better have it... otherwise you'll face endless disputes.

That great war lasted a long time. They united many wizards and ability users to form an allied army to invade the Kingdom of Nathan, but with my presence, they never managed to penetrate the core area of ​​the Kingdom of Nathan.

Although my presence allows my people to halt their conquest, I am still too young, and my power is not strong enough to completely protect the Kingdom of Nathan.

then...

King Nathan, my most faithful follower, has made a negotiation with those filthy men.

I don't know how intense the negotiations were; I only know the final outcome:

The Kingdom of Nathan was no longer recognized or interfered with, and all its inhabitants were to be relocated to uninhabited lands, leaving this land forever.

In exchange, those greedy kingdoms ceased their incursions into the Kingdom of Nathan, allowing me to continue protecting this ideal nation.

King Nathan agreed, and he begged me to use my power to move Nathan's kingdom to a deserted island.

I couldn't bear to see my people continue to suffer, so... I mobilized all my power and led my people to a deserted island.

I need to recover... to recover for a very long time. My faith in King Nathan, knowing my weariness, willingly led his Nathan Guard to serve me until his death...

I can only use my remaining power to grant them the ability to teleport freely within the areas I control.

And so... I recovered several hundred years of time.

For hundreds of years, my followers have offered themselves to me after their deaths, and I have bestowed power upon the people of this island...

Occasionally, a few people from other islands would come ashore, but I didn't pay them much attention and left them to King Nathan to manage. Some of them tried to find me, but they were all killed by Nathan's guards.

Despite having recovered over hundreds of years, my strength has not improved in any way.

The number of islanders on Nathan Island who can believe in me and possess that quality is limited, which keeps my power at a level that is just enough to maintain the balance of the ideal kingdom.

of course.

As the foundation of this nation, their mother, I will not complain; I will only protect them and safeguard the existence of this ideal nation.

Just when I thought I would continue to protect my people and maintain this ideal country, the outside world seemed to have changed quietly.

It seems that my growth rate is not keeping up with the pace of development in this era.

I know this fact, but I can't change anything; I can only maintain the status quo.

One day, Elijah, a member of this year's Nathan Guard, asked me a question.

He said: "From the beginning of the millennium to the present, the times have changed too much, and the pace of development is more than one dimension faster than that of the Kingdom of Nathan. I, who am unable to make any changes, can no longer protect everyone."

He said: "The magic that the wizards who created me cast upon me has bound me and all of Nathan."

He asked me: Am I willing to sacrifice myself for Nathan?

...

Sacrifice?

In this ideal country, my people are willing to sacrifice and dedicate themselves to me, so why can't I sacrifice myself for my people?

If I truly cannot protect them, then I am willing to sacrifice myself so that everyone can survive.

Despite what he said, I still used my limited power to perform some calculations; I wanted to see Nathan's future.

I haven't used this ability for a long time because it consumes too much of my energy and strength, but I used it for the sake of the Kingdom of Nathan.

In the future I envisioned, I saw the fall of the Kingdom of Nathan, the death of its people, and I also saw the one who could truly break the deadlock.

Although I don't have much power, there are very few people who can kill me. Coincidentally, the one who broke the deadlock was able to kill me.

So I hinted to King Nathan to find him and have him kill me; however... this current king of Nathan seems to be not very intelligent.

She misunderstood.

She thought I was the one who made her sacrifice herself so that the one who ruined the situation would become King Nathan...

What good is it if the one who breaks the deadlock becomes King Nathan? I still can't protect everyone.

Hmm.

Fortunately, Elijah also broke the golden branch, and I acknowledge his questioning; I did not consider him a traitor.

If this current King Nathan is truly foolish enough to allow the person who ruined the situation to become the next King Nathan...

I hope that Elijah, the Nathan Guard who asked me this question, will help me destroy myself.

Time passed slowly, and the person who broke the deadlock arrived at Nathan Island just as I had predicted.

But that foolish King Nathan actually wanted him to become King Nathan...

Queen Nathan is somewhat weak, but I didn't expect that her comprehension ability is also not high.

fine...

Although she's a bit naive, the person who's ruining things seems very shrewd; he's going to destroy me...

Destroy it.

tired.

Unable to make any changes, I can only destroy myself to protect my people one last time.

In the past, it was always my people who sacrificed themselves to enter the Kingdom of God, but now... it's finally my turn.

I am the Divine Tree...

I'm about to be pulled upside down.

Chapter 397 Nathan the Angel Investor – Zhou Xinwang! (Second Update)

The trunk of the divine tree turned to ashes in the fire. Zhou Fengliu looked at the divine tree and unconsciously stroked his chin.

Ok.

Trees that have eaten the Golden Fertilizer... don't seem to be so indestructible after all. Can't they still be destroyed?

He recalled what King Nathan had just told him: "The sacred tree cannot be destroyed so easily."

If White couldn't destroy it, then it can only mean that the person in charge was incompetent.

If a person is incompetent, they can't blame the tree for being uneven...

...

Seeing Zhou Fengliu's nonchalant expression, Alfonso rushed forward and questioned him:
