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

Dozens of people suddenly rushed out from the surrounding woods and surrounded them.

These people are ordinary residents of Nathan Island.

They held various makeshift weapons, their faces filled with anger and hostility.

"Don't go near the sacred tree!"

"Outsiders, get out of Nathan Island!"

"You are the ones who attracted Behemoth! You are the ones who killed the divine tree!"

"Now they're eyeing the divine tree again?"

"Islanders, please calm down!"

Queen Nathan Island stepped forward, attempting to calm the angry crowd, "This gentleman has come to help us; he has a way to heal the sacred tree!"

"Your Majesty, you have been deceived!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, "These outsiders are completely untrustworthy!"

"They only want to exploit the power of the divine tree for their own gain!"

The crowd grew increasingly agitated, with some even throwing stones and branches at Jiang Mo and his group.

The Nine Guards of Nathan immediately formed a defensive formation, blocking the Queen and Jiang Mo and the others, and deflecting the incoming items one by one.

"Enough!" Jiang Mo suddenly spoke up.

The sound wasn't loud, but it intimidated everyone.

He walked slowly forward, his gaze sweeping over each angry islander.

“I understand your anger and distrust, but the sacred tree is in imminent danger, and we have no time for arguments.”

"If you truly care about the sacred tree, you should give all possible methods of salvation a chance."

"If my method fails, it's not too late for you to expel me from the island."

Jiang Mo's words gradually quieted down the previously noisy crowd.

Just as the islanders were hesitating.

Suddenly, a piercing alarm sounded in the distance.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" a villager shouted frantically as he ran over. "A large number of ships are heading towards Nathan Island!"

"The coastline defenses have failed; the enemy is about to land!"

Everyone present was shocked upon hearing this news.

"So soon..." Queen Nathan Island's face paled. "Behemoth launched a full-scale attack so quickly!"

A cold glint flashed in Jiang Mo's eyes: "They must have discovered that the Divine Tree is weakened to a critical point."

"They want to take this opportunity to completely control Nathan Island."

The islanders' faces were filled with fear and confusion.

They looked at the Queen of Nathan Island, awaiting her decision.

“The divine tree must be healed immediately,” the Queen said decisively to Jiang Mo. “I need you to start now.”

"And my guards and I will head to the coastline to prevent the enemy from landing."

Jiang Mo nodded: "I need some time. You all need to delay the enemy as much as possible."

The Queen took a deep breath and turned to the panicked islanders: "The crisis has arrived for Nathan Island."

"I need everyone to stand up and defend our home!"

"All men and women with strong combat abilities, follow me to the coastline to meet the enemy;"

"The elderly, children, and other non-combatants are to be immediately evacuated to a safe area in the mountains!"

The islanders, though still fearful, acted swiftly upon hearing the Queen's command.

They split into two teams: one team followed the Queen to the coastline, while the other team escorted the elderly and children to safety.

Soon, only Jiang Mo, Wei Duoduo, and Chen Duo remained in the valley.

"Lord Gu God, what should we do?" Wei Duoduo asked nervously.

Jiang Mo walked up to the sacred tree and gently touched the shocking wound.

"First, heal the sacred tree, then stop Behemoth's plot."

He closed his eyes, as if sensing something.

He opened his eyes a moment later, a hint of surprise flashing in them: "So that's how it is..."

"The essence of the divine tree is a giant energy converter."

"It can absorb energy from the earth and the universe and transform it into a special energy that can be used by superhumans."

"Behemoth not only destroyed the trunk of the sacred tree."

"A special toxin was also injected into the wound to prevent the divine tree from healing itself."

"This toxin is gradually consuming the life force of the sacred tree."

"If it is not removed quickly, the sacred tree will die completely within three days."

After saying that, Jiang Mo took out a small bottle from his pocket and poured out three dark green insects.

"Wei Duoduo, this is a specially made purification gu that can absorb toxins and convert them into nutrients."

"Take them into the divine tree, follow the wound downwards, and find the source of the toxin."

"Once found, release these Gu worms; they will automatically remove the toxins."

Wei Duoduo took the Gu worm and nodded solemnly: "Yes, Lord Gu God!"

Then, Jiang Mo turned to Chen Duo: "Chen Duo, stand at the wound on the divine tree and release the primordial Gu within you."

"Your primordial Gu possesses powerful vitality and adaptability."

"It can temporarily replace the Divine Tree's self-healing ability, buying Wei Duoduo some time."

Chen Duo nodded silently, walked to the wound on the divine tree, and began to release the primal Gu within her body.

Soon, tiny Gu worms flew out of her body.

It landed on the wound of the sacred tree and began to multiply and spread rapidly.

Jiang Mo stood in front of the sacred tree, placed his hand on it, and muttered incantations.

As he chanted his incantation, a strange energy surged from his body.

They formed complex runes, which floated in the air and then slowly merged into the divine tree.

The three of them each took on their respective roles and began the mission to save the sacred tree.

......

A fierce battle has begun on the coastline.

Dozens of armed ships approached Nathan Island.

Each ship was loaded with a large number of fully armed soldiers and advanced weaponry.

These soldiers wore uniform black combat uniforms with a peculiar symbol printed on their chests.

A silhouette of a giant beast.

Queen Nathan led the island's warriors and volunteer islanders to form a defensive line.

They were trying to prevent the enemy from landing.

"Don't let them land on the island!"

The Queen commanded loudly, "Hold on! As soon as the Divine Tree recovers, the island's defense system will restart!"

The islanders fought bravely, but Behemoth's soldiers were well-equipped and well-trained, and quickly broke through the defenses, with large numbers of enemies landing.

"Damn, there are too many of them!"

The captain of the Nathan Guard, one of the Nine Guards, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, we must retreat!"

"No!" the Queen said resolutely. "We must hold this place and buy Mr. Jiang Mo time!"

......

In the canyon, Jiang Mo, Wei Duoduo, and Chen Duo are healing the sacred tree.

The group then placed the clay into the sacred tree.

Those around could already see the energy fluctuations permeating the air.

The residents of Nathan Island, who initially harbored resistance.

After seeing Jiang Mo and the others integrate their power into the divine tree, the divine tree truly began to slowly change.

The hostility they had previously shown towards Jiang Mo and the others was also disappearing.

Wei Duoduo and the others ignored the changes in the emotions of the Nathan Islanders.

Continue with what you're doing.

Wei Duoduo has already entered the Divine Tree's body with the Purification Gu.
