“That’s right, you’re much smarter than him,” the tree said. “Because I overused this power, I’m now in an irreversible state. To continue to survive, I need more energy. I am a tree, so to absorb more energy, I need to absorb it from the earth, mountains, rivers, grass, and trees. But this energy is far from enough for me. I need to absorb a much larger and more vast amount of energy!”
Sun Muchen understood in an instant, and she immediately said, "You mean the source of the mutation!"
"That's right!"
The tree said, "This is the source of the mutation. I need power to help me. I have waited for a hundred years. Only the two of you have survived under my vines. I need your power!"
Wang Lan asked, "But how can we help you? And why should we help you?"
"Because once I absorb the energy from the source of the mutation, it's equivalent to stopping the mutation. In this way, the mutation will no longer worsen, and you will also gain hope, the hope of rebirth."
"Then what can we do?" Sun Muchen said, "My brother and I are clearly not that powerful yet, so what can we do?"
"Although you are not yet at your peak, you possess considerable strength, and I can provide you with a continuous source of energy. Perhaps, if we join forces, it will produce some very good results."
Wang Lan then said, "What if we don't help?"
“You don’t seem to be listening to me,” the tree said. “I didn’t consult you. You must help me. Remember, this is also helping yourselves.”
Sun Muchen said, "So there's no room for discussion?"
“No, of course there is room for negotiation,” the tree said. “You can choose to jump down here, or you can choose to come with me to the source and lend me a hand.”
"This is utter nonsense," Wang Lan immediately cursed.
Sun Muchen said in a low voice, "Brother, don't get excited. We can just agree to it for now and make plans later when it's safe."
“I can hear your conversation.”
The tree said, "Don't even think about escaping, because the source of the anomaly is by the sea. If you try to run, you'll fall into the sea... and drown just the same thing..."
