Under One Person: Damn it, I have all the magic to defy the heavens
Chapter 166 I Give You a Choice
"Master, this evil tree is causing great harm to people. It must be eliminated."
"This is a trap, Master. We just want justice. It's not easy for us to practice. Please have mercy on us."
"Mr. Qin, you refused to pick up the wooden sign. I guess you don't agree with this decadent and backward country."
"Qin, you won't side with Nathan just because Wang is Chinese, right? These people have been bewitched by evil magic and have long lost the ability to think."
Everyone was chattering and trying to persuade Qin Feng. He raised his right hand and signaled everyone to keep quiet. Soon, the voices of discussion died down.
Qin Feng looked around at the various forces present, and then turned his gaze to Nathan's group. His expression was calm and indifferent, making it difficult to figure out his thoughts. Then, he moved his feet and walked towards the direction of the Nathan sacred tree.
Such an ordinary action made Nathan's people extremely nervous.
Sweat dripped from their foreheads, their muscles were tense, their expressions were solemn, and they subconsciously moved closer together to form a tight line of defense.
"I want to see the sacred tree and communicate with it." Qin Feng said.
"!!!"
Nathan's men looked at Qin Feng nervously, still blocking the road leading to the sacred tree.
Qin Feng raised his eyebrows.
"If I want to destroy the tree, you can't stop me even if you come together."
"I haven't made up my mind yet. Are you trying to force me to take action by blocking me like this?"
Nathan's people became more nervous. They exchanged glances and discussed countermeasures. After struggling for a while, with King Nathan's nod, everyone made way. Because the fact was just as Qin Feng said, even if they attacked together, they could not fight him, not to mention that they had already been seriously injured in the previous battle.
Under the gaze of everyone, Qin Feng walked into the fog and headed towards the strange and mysterious Nathan tree.
......
It's a strange feeling to be in the fog, a bit like being in a different space like the inner scene, where time seems to have stopped and you can't tell left from right or up from down. If the land under your feet didn't still exist, it would be easy to get lost here.
In addition to the anomalies of time and space, there is also a magical, soothing power in the fog. Walking here, Qin Feng felt that his mood had calmed down and his mind was clearer. There seemed to be a faint singing in his ears, which seemed to come from far away, but also seemed to be close at hand. It was gentle and graceful, mysterious and beautiful, bringing people endless reverie and warmth.
After walking for about five minutes, or maybe longer, the fog thinned and a blurry shadow of a tree appeared in front of them. Qin Feng knew that the tree wanted to see him.
He walked straight towards the shadow of the tree.
The sight became clearer and clearer, and the ancient Nathan tree, which was said to have existed for a thousand years, finally unveiled its mysterious veil.
This is a unique tree, standing alone in a barren land.
Unlike other trees, it does not have dense branches and leaves, but only rough trunks and dark branches. However, it is this unique shape that gives it a unique beauty and tenacity.
Between the bare branches, countless pale golden dots of light were shining. These dots of light were like golden sand, like rice grains, and the larger ones were like small balls of light. There were so many of them, intertwined and pulled together, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of millions. These billions of dots of light gathered into a flowing galaxy, incomparably dazzling and magnificent.
These light balls are the crystallization of human wisdom. Each one contains thousands of years of experience and knowledge. They are like precious treasures, waiting for people to explore and discover.
They are so dazzling and charming, exuding a unique attraction that is hard to resist.
When people gaze at these light balls, they will feel a deep shock and awe, which makes people realize their own insignificance and ignorance, and also inspires people's curiosity and desire to explore the unknown world.
Qin Feng stared at this dreamlike scene in a daze. Even with a strong mental strength like him, he was attracted by the profound and magnificent sight.
It took him a long time to come out of that state and calm down. He took a few steps forward and put his hand on the tree trunk.
With a loud bang, thousands of years of memories swept over him like a tide.
......
More than a thousand years ago, the Kingdom of the God Tree was originally a weak tribe. At that time, the continent where they lived was shrouded in war, and lords from all over the world fought each other for territory. They had no fixed place to live, and they kept wandering, and hunger and disease always enveloped them.
But fortunately, a witch with extraordinary talent appeared in their tribe. Under the protection of the witch's powerful ability, their tribe finally ended their wandering and had their own territory.
But as the witch grew older, there was no such a brilliant person in the next generation of the tribe. In order to continue the tribe, the witch spent all her efforts to find a solution. After many attempts, she succeeded.
She and eleven other tribal witches imprisoned their magic powers and spirits in a tree through sacrifice, which protected the tribe forever and continued its inheritance.
The tribe changed its name to the Kingdom of the Sacred Tree, and began sacrifices and reincarnations again and again. They also turned from a traditional feudal tribe to a relatively closed country with a witchcraft theocracy system.
The sacred tree is the cornerstone of the country's existence. It protects the people in its territory and gives them power. In return, the gods must be loyal to the sacred tree, protect the sacred tree, and dedicate and sacrifice to the sacred tree. This is particularly evident in Wang and Wei.
Wang can sense everything within the domain. As long as he wishes, he and Wei can move freely within the domain and gain enhancements to various abilities.
In that chaotic age, the people of God under this system were happy; they were far away from war and plague, and lived as if in a paradise.
But as time went by, hundreds of years later, a powerful empire emerged on that continent, and it did not allow any outsiders to exist on its land.
As a last resort, the Kingdom of the Sacred Tree moved as a whole to Nasen Island and has been isolated from the outside world ever since.
Year after year, they began to fall behind the times. When the Industrial Revolution took place, they were still living by gathering and fishing. When information technology exploded, the island's knowledge was still passed down by word of mouth among the elders.
Today, there is still no electricity on Nasen Island. The islanders are isolated from the outside world, and only a few Nasen guards can go to the outside world to learn and communicate so as to better protect their homes.
They actively and passively became the outliers among the outliers.
Seeing this, Qin Feng sighed.
In his opinion, the sacred tree is like a cradle and a mother. When it was weak, it supported the believers. With the sacrifices and offerings of the believers, it grew into a very powerful god, protecting the believers from wind and rain in that turbulent era, but it also controlled the believers, just like a mother putting a fence outside the house to prevent her children from going out.
But the child will grow up one day, will conflict with the mother, and will try to overthrow the mother's control. In the history of Nathan that he came into contact with, there were several such people, and Elijah in the original book was also such a person.
For newborns, the cradle is a protection, but for grown-ups, the cradle is a prison from which they cannot escape. The "great crystal of witchcraft" that shocked the world thousands of years ago has now become a "tomb" that imprisons the islanders.
In other words, the "god" of the sacred tree grew too slowly. It could not adapt to the rapidly changing external environment. Among its believers, there were constantly people yearning for the outside world, and various forces in the outside world also coveted the power of the sacred tree. Now it could not even protect itself, and could only bring disaster to its people.
After learning about the history of the Kingdom of the Sacred Tree, Qin Feng finally made up his mind. He stroked the rough bark of the sacred tree, which was full of traces of time, and whispered something.
