Seeing the prompt, Han Xing cast a deep look at the ancient tree.

Before this.

They already knew,

a dominator-level Life Fruit could increase the maximum Life Value by 1000 points.

And the so-called ’Life Tree Heart’ was obviously something more advanced than a Life Fruit.

Han Xing remembered, during the last battle with the Shadow Monarch.

After the Shadow Monarch killed one legendary tree spirit, he also dug something out from its body.

Then swallowed it directly.

That thing should have been the ’Life Tree Heart.’

And for someone like the Shadow Monarch, to remember to devour it in the midst of battle.

It was enough to show how precious an item the Life Tree Heart is.

Looking at it this way, the task reward from this ancient tree was truly astonishing.

However.

After thinking for a moment, Han Xing still shook his head and said.

"Sorry, I can’t help you now."

Upon hearing that, the Ancient Tree with Entwined Roots instantly lost all traces of anticipation.

It was like grabbing a life-saving straw, only to lose it moments later.

In its frenzy, it even exclaimed, "Why?"

"Why aren’t you willing to help me?"

"Clearly, just a slight intervention from you wouldn’t take much of your time!"

"Do you think the reward isn’t enough? I can continue to increase it!!"

It was obvious.

The state of the Ancient Tree with Entwined Roots was truly painful, almost losing control.

But Han Xing still shook his head and said, "I’ve said it, I can’t help you now."

The ancient tree seemed to catch the meaning in Han Xing’s words; it asked with difficulty, "Can’t help now?"

"Then... when will you be able?"

"My current state can’t hold on for much longer. At this rate, I might completely become its slave."

Han Xing nodded, "I know. My time is also limited."

"Before that, I want to ask, if the corroded parts on you are removed, can you break free from the curse?"

The face on the tree was taken aback.

Then sighed and said, "Obviously, that’s impossible."

"That kind of curse isn’t something that can be easily escaped."

Han Xing shrugged his shoulders,

"So, removing the infected parts isn’t the solution."

"Only by resolving the source can we permanently end it."

"The source..."

The ancient tree seemed deep in thought,

Moments later, its previously hopeless expression suddenly froze.

It thought it misheard, tentatively asked, "You mean... resolving the curse’s source."

"Are you suggesting looking for the God of Tricks to lift this curse?"

Han Xing heard an unfamiliar name.

God of Tricks.

Totally different from the Plague God or God of Curse he had in mind.

It seemed.

This ancient tree indeed knew a lot about the secrets surrounding that divine spirit.

And at that moment, Han Xing said something that caught the ancient tree off guard.

"You’ve misunderstood."

"I’m not seeking to lift the curse, but to kill it!"

At that moment.

The Ancient Tree with Entwined Roots opened its eyes wide in shock.

The next second, its divine power surged and completely enveloped the Primitive Forest Continent!

"Boom!"

That day, the Sky Island Forest Continent experienced an unprecedented tremor.

...

Half an hour later...

Upon learning Han Xing and his group’s plan.

The Ancient Tree with Entwined Roots took a long time to calm down.

After a while, it looked at Han Xing with a complicated expression.

Who could have imagined that a group of demigods of the human race was plotting to confront a true god!

And judging by the looks, they were serious.

Seeing the Ancient Tree with Entwined Roots didn’t answer.

Han Xing then asked, "What, don’t believe?"

"You must know, even before I broke through to legend, I had already taken down the Shadow Monarch."

"Now, breaking through to legend, what’s wrong with aiming to slay a god?"

The Holy Tree with Entwined Roots took a deep look at Han Xing and shook its head.

"No, I do believe you."

"So, this Master of the Human Race..."

"Please tell me, is there anything the old me can do?"

"Or what can the old me do to assist you?"

It had changed its address for Han Xing.

From the old term ’young friend’ to ’Master of the Human Race.’

This also showed the ancient tree had started treating Han Xing as an equal.

Hearing this, Han Xing knew the ancient tree had agreed.

Joy appeared on his face.

"I don’t need you to do anything, I just want to learn more from you about that divine spirit."

"Including the divine spirit’s abilities, their methods, and so on."

Upon hearing this, the Ancient Tree with Entwined Roots’s expression froze again.

Truly... ignorance is fearless.

They didn’t know what mighty power the divine spirit possessed, yet were daring to act against them.

But perhaps it was this very mindset that enabled such earth-shaking actions.

"Divine spirits are entirely different from legendary beings..."

The Ancient Tree with Entwined Roots sighed deeply and began to explain.

"You should know, the hallmark of legendary level is mastering divine power."

"In this realm, legendary powerhouses continuously absorb heaven and earth energy, transforming it into their attributes, enhancing divine power strength."

"When divine power reaches a certain limit, it achieves a high-tier legendary realm."

"At this time, we will receive certain perceptions in the midst."

"These perceptions are like a force of nature, one of the laws forming the world’s workings."

"At this point, it indicates you can break through to demigod."

The crowd slowly nodded while listening.

Interestingly, it was their first time hearing someone explain in detail about this world’s cultivation system.
