One person said: "If I make you a holy child, will you be granted godhood through the art of Gu

Upon reaching the stage, the Queen began, "Thank you for accepting the invitation to this grand event on Nathan Island."

She glanced around, her gaze sweeping over each guest: "As you know, the sacred tree on Nathan Island has recently suffered misfortune, and the island's ecosystem is collapsing."

"I have organized this grand gathering in the hope that we can pool everyone's wisdom to find a way to save the sacred tree."

"Whoever finds a way to save the sacred tree will be richly rewarded and granted permanent residency on Nathan Island."

"I could even consider transferring part of the royal power, allowing capable individuals to participate in the management of Nathan Island."

Her words caused a stir among the guests present, and many of them had a greedy glint in their eyes.

In the corner of the banquet hall.

A slender woman watched all of this quietly.

She wore a long black dress and a mask, obscuring her true appearance.

But the moment she saw Jiang Mo, the woman's body trembled slightly, and a hint of fear flashed in her eyes.

"What's wrong, sister?" the young man beside her asked with concern.

The visitors were Qu Tong and Ma Xianhong, who were there to see what abilities the divine tree possessed.

Upon hearing Ma Xianhong's question, Qu Tong's voice was so low that only Ma Xianhong could hear it: "That person... is Jiang Mo."

"Jiang Mo? That's the Gu Master?"

Following her gaze, Ma Xianhong saw Jiang Mo standing not far away, accompanied by Wei Duoduo and Chen Duo, who had visited Biyou Village before.

Ma Xianhong's gaze suddenly froze.

He stared at Chen Duo for a long time, his face turning extremely grim: "Sister, that girl... she's the one who broke into Biyou Village and defeated me!"

Upon hearing this, Qu Tong's expression changed, and she quickly grabbed Ma Xianhong's hand: "Don't be impulsive, whatever you do, don't get close to Jiang Mo."

"That person is dangerous; even I am no match for him."

Although Ma Xianhong was filled with anger, he still listened to Qu Tong's advice and stood quietly in place.

His gaze remained fixed on Chen Duo.

The banquet continued.

After a brief opening speech, the Queen of Nathan Island began to speak with the guests and listen to their suggestions on how to save the sacred tree.

Jiang Mo stood aside, silently observing the entire banquet hall.

The banquet lasted for about two hours, during which everything was peaceful and nothing unusual happened.

Just when the guests thought it was just a regular social event.

The Queen of Nathan Island stepped forward again and announced that the banquet was drawing to a close.

"Thank you all for coming and for your valuable suggestions," the Queen said with a smile.

"Tomorrow, I will lead those with ambition to the location of the sacred tree."

"To witness firsthand the condition of the sacred tree and discuss together how to save it."

"Distinguished guests who wish to travel, please register with my guards before tonight."

"This concludes today's banquet. We wish you all a pleasant stay on Nathan Island."

As the Queen finished speaking, the doors to the banquet hall opened again, and the guests began to leave.

Jiang Mo walked to Queen Nathan Island and whispered, "Can you take me to see the Divine Tree now?"

The Queen nodded. "I've made arrangements. We can leave through the back door, avoiding the guests' view."

"However, are you sure you want to go now? It's getting late; I was planning to leave early tomorrow morning."

Jiang Mo nodded: "The situation with the Divine Tree is far more serious than you imagine. We don't have much time left."

"Furthermore, operating at night can evade Behemoth's surveillance."

The Queen pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded: "You're right, let's set off then."

And so, Jiang Mo took Wei Duoduo and Chen Duo with him.

Led by the Queen of Nathan Island and her nine guards, they quietly left the banquet hall and headed to the location of the sacred tree.

They boarded the Queen's private airship and quickly flew away from the city, heading towards the mountains in the center of the island.

On the airship, Jiang Mo stood by the window.

Looking down at the lush forest and winding river, my mind was filled with countless thoughts.

"Lord Gu God," Wei Duoduo asked softly, "is the sacred tree on Nathan Island really as miraculous as the legends say?"

Jiang Mo nodded slightly: "The existence of the Divine Tree is far more incredible than the legends suggest."

"It is not only the core of Nathan Island, but also one of the cornerstones of the entire Inhuman world."

"If the Divine Tree truly dies, it won't just affect Nathan Island; the entire world of Inhumans will suffer a devastating blow."

Upon hearing this, Wei Duoduo's eyes flashed with shock, followed by deep respect: "As expected, the God of Gu knows the most."

"However, how does Lord Gu God intend to heal the Divine Tree?"

"Could ordinary Gu techniques be effective against such a massive life form?"

Jiang Mo turned to look at her, a slight smile playing on his lips: "I already have a plan."

"But before that, I need to know the exact condition of the sacred tree."

Two hours later, the airship began its descent.

The Queen of Nathan Island approached: "We have reached the vicinity of the Divine Tree."

"For safety reasons, the airship cannot land directly next to the sacred tree; we need to walk a distance."

Jiang Mo nodded, and then followed the Queen away from the airship.

The group proceeded along a secluded path.

The surrounding vegetation was noticeably more withered than before.

A strange aura permeated the air, as if the entire forest was groaning.

"After the sacred tree was injured, the surrounding plants also began to wither."

The Queen explained, "This phenomenon is spreading throughout the entire island."

"If no action is taken, the entire ecosystem of Nathan Island will collapse."

We walked for about twenty minutes.

They came to a huge valley.

In the center of the valley stands a huge tree.

The tree was hundreds of meters tall, its canopy spreading out like a giant umbrella, covering most of the valley.

However, this once magnificent tree now appears to be dying.

Its trunk was blasted open, revealing a charred heartwood inside.

Most of the leaves on the tree had withered, with only a few sparse patches still retaining their green color.

A luminous liquid continuously flows out from the gap in the tree trunk.

It dripped onto the ground like fresh blood.

Each time a drop falls, the ground vibrates.

"The essence of the divine tree is being lost."

The Queen's voice was filled with grief, "We tried everything, but nothing could stop it."

"When the people of Behemoth destroyed the sacred tree, they used some kind of special explosive."

"Not only did it destroy the tree trunk, it also prevented the sacred tree from healing itself."

Jiang Mo stared at the divine tree, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes: "I need to examine it up close."

The Queen nodded and led Jiang Mo toward the sacred tree.

But just as they stepped into the core area where the divine tree was located...
