A sacred and precious land.
The starry sky was dim and without light, and the carefully decorated star stones fell into dust, forming a cloud of grayish-white stone dust.
Below, the meticulously inscribed magic circle was completely destroyed, the ground sank three feet, and gray-black soil was scattered everywhere. A life spring refined from a magic crystal was hollowed out. Oh, the magic crystal was also dug up.
What shocked Brian even more was the Star Pulse Divine Tree cultivated in the center of the treasure land. It was the key for bishops to embark on the golden path and awaken their skill trees. It was a precious treasure that the Divine Court had nurtured with all its might!
"Squeak!"
On this desolate land, colorful slimes hopped and jumped around, creating a bleak scene.
Brian wondered if he had gone to the wrong place. He was shocked and stunned for a long time before he had to accept the fact.
"Waaah!"
The greatsword pierced the three-headed slime, which let out a chilling scream and exploded into a viscous liquid.
These remaining slimes seem to be mocking the Gods' ruthlessness; their leisurely figures are simply unpleasant to behold.
"die!"
The giant sword carried the force of thunder and contained the power to cause mountains to collapse and the earth to split!
In an instant, the void was torn apart by this sword, and the roaring force formed a fan-shaped shockwave, stirring up a terrifying tornado. A large number of slimes were torn apart by the sweeping sword wind, their bodies exploding and scattering everywhere.
"Slap! Slap!"
A dozen slimes were hurled into the air, then fell to the ground one by one, smashing to pieces.
"No matter who you are, anyone who dares to provoke our Divine Court and disrupt the bishop's grand plan will face certain death!"
Brian took a deep look at the ruined, hollowed-out land, and the joy he had felt from completing the task entrusted to him by the bishop was completely washed away.
He slightly raised his eyes, gazing at the passage that had been breached behind the divine tree.
There's still a chance!
Brian raised his greatsword, and from the sword, streaks of blood spread across his body, resembling a python.
"My lord! Grant me glory!"
A thick black mist covered most of the decorated starry sky, and a pair of eyes, like an ancient pool, exuded a cold and sinister aura.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and an invisible force poured into Brian's body.
"Bang!"
The next moment, Brian seemed to break free of his shackles, surrounded by nine black and red halos, each intricately carved with patterns.
Unleash your potential!
"boom!"
The ground beneath his feet blasted a crater three meters in diameter, and Brian's figure shot out like a cannonball, his speed unimaginable!
Mission accomplished, now it's time to go all out and catch that bastard who dug up all the treasure!
You can take the resources, but leave your life behind!!
...
"As long as we remove the magic crystal, we can cause the crucial operation of the Divine Court to collapse."
In the relatively bright cave, a half-elf girl, now dressed in light armor, held a map and murmured to herself.
On the map, the red dot marks the very center of the fortress, above Minise, which is where the divine tree is cultivated.
"I wonder if the little fox will be caught. However, he has many trump cards and a mysterious identity. He might just grab some benefits and run away."
With a sly smile, Minnie held a shovel in her hand and gently touched the soil in front of her.
The Black Crow's spare shovel is a fourth-tier magical item. It consumes one point of magic to crack the soil and is specifically used for clearing underground passages.
The next moment, as the soil receded on its own, the roots of the divine tree emerged, shimmering with a bit of crystalline starlight.
"A divine tree containing the potential of a starry sky must be ranked within the top 500."
Minnie took out a monocle with gold wire inlay and covered her emerald eyes.
With the aid of the glasses, a burst of starlight gathered within the roots of the divine tree, forming a six-pointed star array, its starlight dazzling and radiant.
"The Tree of Glory, the Tree of Immortality, the Tree of Valor, the Tree of Starlight... none of them seem to be it."
Using spiritual power to probe the six-pointed star magic array, the interior resembled the veins in a leaf, interwoven into mysterious patterns that were dazzling and captivating.
But to Minnie's surprise, the value of this sacred tree was even greater than she had imagined.
If we were to make a bold guess, the Divine Tree might be ranked in the top 100!
The top 100 in the sequence—that's the elite tier with the greatest potential. Even the supreme Platinum-rank powerhouses would be tempted to seize it if they knew about it.
This shows how terrifying that step was!
The Sequence Tree, containing astonishing potential, was something Minise never dared to dream of!
But right now, she's tempted.
Her true purpose in coming here was to destroy this sacred tree with its vast potential!
However, moving and destroying are, to some extent, the same thing.
She single-handedly broke through the magical traps hidden below, and it was not impossible for her to move an entire sacred tree using the unique methods of tulips.
"I never imagined that even I could resist the allure of the Sequence Tree."
Minnie tossed a strand of her hair aside, her beautiful eyes sparkling, and a smile curved her lips.
The origin of the Sequence Tree is twofold: firstly, it is derived from the natural world, and secondly, it is a treasure derived from the authority of fallen gods.
However, it cannot be denied that the Sequence Tree is the key to breaking through the shackles for half-step Gold-level powerhouses!
Using the divine tree as a foundation, a true divine body will be forged, thus fully opening the golden path!
Races like the Elves possess the Tree of Life, and their awakened potential is largely related to life and elements.
Those who forcibly embark on the path to gold without awakening the sequence of divine trees can only be called pseudo-gold. They possess extraordinary potential but cannot utilize it, and their combat strength is at the lowest level among the gold ranks.
For tens of thousands of years, the Sequence Trees have been like three thousand stars, leaving a brilliant mark on the long river of history. According to statistics from various hegemonic forces, the number of Sequence Trees has been publicly recorded to be in the tens of thousands.
Among the ranked trees, the top one hundred are destined to become gods, wielding divine authority, immortal and indestructible, establishing their own divine kingdoms, and confidently conversing with the gods. What a magnificent world that would be!
The Hall of Heroes, which nurtures heroes, naturally has a treasure trove for planting Divine Trees, known as the Divine Tree Manor. It cultivates extremely rare Divine Trees, with one even among the top ten sequences.
"Uh... the magic crystal, where did it go?!"
Resisting the temptation to move the divine tree, Minise stared wide-eyed at a hidden groove on the roots, where the magic crystal inside had been forcibly dug out.
Previously, there was a great commotion above, as if the Divine Court army was gathering around the Divine Tree, and a great storm was brewing.
After a lot of commotion, the noise finally subsided, but Minnie had a strange sense of familiarity and even wanted to go up and investigate.
According to the original plan, she had unique methods to secretly replace the magic crystals and leave behind more than a dozen magic scrolls for the Fireball spell before leaving, which blew up the divine tree.
"boom!"
The familiar roar echoed, and Minnie was startled, momentarily stunned.
A clash of ideas led to a guess that was close to the truth.
That wretched little fox!
She bit her cherry-red lips, her face full of anger.
