The Tree of Terra.
Having converted all energy conversion ports to mental energy, Nantian sat on a protruding tree root, propping his head up with his hands and waiting.
Even someone as composed as him felt as if each day was an eternity.
He repeatedly confirmed the location of the "Ultimate" with his wishes, his excitement barely contained.
Perhaps sitting and waiting was too boring, so he slowly stood up and began to wander around the space where the Terra Tree was stored, his legs dangling in the air.
The entire space is very large, almost the size of a basketball court, with the Tree of Light taking up half of it.
Suddenly, Nantian paused slightly, his brows furrowing.
"Wang Canxin..." he muttered softly.
Just now, he sensed through his wish that a man named Wang Canxin was around him.
The other party's location was actually just one kilometer directly below him.
"A basement? How secluded."
Nan Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, his whole body began to flicker, and the next second he disappeared from the spot.
When he reappeared, he found himself in a huge space completely covered in steel, resembling an air-raid shelter.
Smooth, silvery-white steel plates covered every corner within sight, reflecting a dazzling light that made it difficult to open one's eyes for a moment.
When he saw everything around him clearly, a look of seriousness flashed across his eyes.
In this vast space, the dazzling lights overhead illuminated countless objects below, some ancient and some brand new.
The items included a Japanese surrender document, a revolver, a swastika flag, a helmet from the US military during World War II, and various firearms, ammunition, airplanes, and tanks from the last century.
Countless items, enough to prove the brutal history of the past, appeared before Nantian.
There are even various extinct animal specimens around.
The most eye-catching and the one that caused Nan Tian's expression to change drastically was the huge oval-shaped nuclear bomb.
"vomit……"
Directly in front of the nuclear bomb, a man in a suit was kneeling, his hands on the ground, vomiting incessantly.
He was trembling uncontrollably, like a patient who had suffered a severe mental trauma.
"Wang Canxin." Nan Tian recognized the man as Wang Canxin and spoke coldly from a distance of more than ten meters.
The latter seemed to have heard his words, wiped his mouth, stood up with difficulty, and turned to look.
Wang Canxin's eyes were bloodshot, his hair was disheveled, his fists and the spaces between his fingers were full of blood, and his once dignified suit was now wrinkled and crumpled.
He steadied himself by holding onto a tank next to him, and managed a weak smile as he looked at Nantian.
"If I'm not mistaken... you must be the leader of the Light God Society... the most deserving man of humanity... Nantian."
“That’s right.” Nan Tian answered calmly, a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"If I'm not mistaken, you must be the current supreme leader of the Night Stars."
"Hehe, I've only been in office for less than two days..." Wang Canxin laughed self-deprecatingly.
"I really didn't expect that the man who should have been on the same level as me, engaging in a contest, is now as pathetic as a stray dog."
Seeing the other person's homeless appearance, Nantian couldn't help but mock him.
"Yes... I do look quite pathetic..."
He looked at his blood-stained hands, as if recalling something, and collapsed to his knees again with a thud.
His whole body began to convulse, accompanied by heavy breathing.
“I...I killed someone with my own hands...and 5239 of them were my most trusted subordinates..."
He covered his mouth, but couldn't hold it in and vomited again.
Nan Tian, still looking down at the other person, said, "It seems you really are a hypocrite."
"Cough, cough...yes..."
He stood up again, trembling. "I am an extremely hypocritical person..."
"Pretending to be a cold-blooded, ruthless saint who can command the big picture..."
He tilted his head back and laughed self-deprecatingly.
"But in reality, I'm just a cowardly, timid, neither kind nor evil ordinary person..."
"I just learned the true history by accident..."
Nantian glanced around at everything. "Then you should know about the persecution that humanity has inflicted on this world, and on its own kind."
"That's why I say I'm just an ordinary person, without your lofty ideals..."
"What you see are the villains in war and the damage to the world... but what I see are civilians torn apart by war and brave warriors rising up in resistance."
Nan Tian didn't say anything, he just quietly looked at the other person.
Do you know how the Five Nations and the Night Star International Organization came about?
"These things are too complicated, and my wishes cannot be fulfilled."
Nan Tian shook his head and then waited earnestly for the other party to continue.
The other person looked up and gazed at the International Night Star Organization through the distance.
"The appearance of the alien species plunged people into despair. Five of the most powerful nations gathered all the superhumans to fight against it."
"But at that time, people with superpowers were the scarcest resource in society. Countless countries, for the sake of their own national security and due to their distrust of each other, did not intend to hand over their own people with superpowers and resources."
"Because in a chaotic world, you can't be sure whether the other party can really change the world; you can only do your best to protect yourself."
“These five countries used the most radical method; they united and used all available force to annihilate all the other countries except themselves.”
"Finally, the resources were allocated, resulting in the current five countries. The International Night Stars were established and placed in all five countries."
"It was precisely because of these resources that the nightmare of humanity being dominated by alien species ended in less than a few years."
"A balance has been achieved between humans and other species."
"These five chairs of the International Night Star Organization... are composed of nearly a hundred other countries."
Nan Tian's eyes widened slightly; this was a history even he was unaware of.
"Later... perhaps they felt that the process of ruling was too brutal and unbearable, so they mobilized almost every available force to hide everything or anyone that could prove the previous history."
As he spoke, he touched the tank next to him. "But in the end, they listened to the advice of a high-ranking official and left behind many items that represent various historical periods, as well as a notebook."
After saying that, Wang Canxing reached into his pocket and took out an old leather notebook.
"The high-ranking official who kept everything secret... was my grandfather, and he was the one who let me know everything when I was 12 years old."
"Is that so? But it seems that knowing so much doesn't really help you."
“No…” Wang Canxing shook his head, “Everything has changed, because I have successfully shown humanity once again how insignificant we are in the face of the [Ultimate]…”
After saying that, a smug smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"What do you mean?"
