I Don't Agree to the Terms-Chapter 1126 - 592: Fingernails? How Did This Bizarre Thing Show Up in the Bloodline Again

The disappearance of Green Sorrow didn't cause much of a stir at Hogwarts Witchcraft Academy. After all, there were only so few people, asking casually would reveal what happened.

Gu Shanhai was immersed in his experiments. Apart from his research on the Time History Book pages and the World Tree leaves, Gu Shanhai was also deeply studying the Elf Clan, a special race wearing the guise of elves. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"Something's not quite right." Gu Shanhai sighed, his expression turned peculiar.

The process of dissection and research went smoothly, everything seemed quite normal, yet he could see the underlying issues in their bloodline.

"Fingernails, why are there fingernails?!"

Gu Shanhai was momentarily perplexed.

The elves' world-traveling ability, upon in-depth research, he found its root cause.

It was the fingernails, a special structure formed by human fingernails and toenails.

This slightly challenged Gu Shanhai's worldview.

As for why they were human, that was simple; he could still distinguish between humans and elves.

"The issue is quite significant, what secret have I unearthed?" Gu Shanhai was a bit puzzled too.

The elves' world-traveling essentially used these fingernail fragments as a catalyst.

"The World Tree leaves themselves did not spontaneously generate the Elf Clan. Instead, they triggered some factor within their bloodline."

"Thus, elves inherently had this ability."

"No, it's not just the elves; perhaps every living thing in the entire world cluster possesses it."

Gu Shanhai leaped across several worlds instantly, capturing various different races to further dissect and study. Using the World Tree leaves for forced evolutionary guidance, he finally arrived at a conclusion.

"I guessed right. Ordinarily, typical life forms can't awaken unless prompted by the evolutionary guidance of the World Tree."

"But this process takes a long time; otherwise, it would be impossible to awaken in a short period."

"But that doesn't make sense; do the World Tree leaves have this function?"

The ability to traverse worlds is universal; perhaps back then, the wizards first acquired the elves' heritage and then, with the help of the World Tree leaves, began their colonization outward.

Otherwise, having only technology without the means to break through the world, they would be trapped within.

The combination of both led to the emergence of the Wizard World.

"If that's the case, another question arises: why did the World Tree leaves fall into my hands in my past life?"

Gu Shanhai grew even more puzzled. According to normal logic, the wizards would surely discover the World Tree leaves. Even though it seemed only the size of a palm in his hands, it made quite a commotion. Unless someone like him concealed it, it couldn't possibly be hidden.

Conversely, in his previous life, although his tasks were difficult, they differed from his current data. At least in terms of discretion, forget about it.

"Forget it, there's no point in pondering this; I won't figure it out anyway."

Prophetic Divination? He would like to do it, but even the Wizard World isn't clear about it; how would he perform a divination?

This thing can't be conjured out of nowhere. Essentially, it's about communicating with the world and time to gain feedback.

The Wizard World, be it about time or anything else, had never come into contact with the World Tree leaves; how could these things appear out of nowhere?

As for the Elf World, that's possible, but the Elf World was long destroyed by the Destructive Frost, and even elves only knew bits and pieces. They just knew the World Tree leaves were their clan's treasure with ancient roots; even the oldest elf was born when the World Tree leaves were already enshrined.

Before being forced to leave the Elf World, the Elf Clan neither had such powerful strength nor everlasting life. Therefore, in front of this ancient leaf, the group of elves knew little.

"No, there's another person who might know." Gu Shanhai couldn't help but recall the Ghost Hunter's king, the one who claimed to be the Hunter King.

The opponent revolved with the Dual-star Celestial Body around the entire world cluster. Gu Shanhai did not know how many years the opponent had lived.

"He might know some truths."

"Even if it's not about the World Tree leaves, knowing something about the world-traveling fingernails would certainly reveal a little."

The idea seemed promising, but Gu Shanhai kept pondering whether it was appropriate to proceed.

Given his nature, encountering such matters, it was impossible for him to explore.

The best course of action now was to ignore it, directly halt the experiment, and then pretend to know nothing.

Gu Shanhai weighed the pros and cons.

Otherwise, it's not possible to just give up like this; at least some consideration should be given.

"It seems there's no benefit, just satisfying my curiosity."

He too could traverse worlds, but the mysterious nails might invoke unforeseen dangers.

"Then forget it."

Gu Shanhai opted to abandon the idea very candidly.

For him, the benefits weren't enough; the value was not high.

"But observing the Hunter King might be worthwhile; the opponent doesn't seem simple at all." Gu Shanhai also believed that at least he should recoup some losses. If this project foundered midway, he couldn't recover the costs. If it failed, he could still continue investing, but a sudden halt meant losing everything.

Thus, Gu Shanhai felt it necessary to cover his losses indirectly.

The Hunter King was quite suitable.

"Wait a couple more days to see if Green Sorrow and Lan Meng's 'Yin Yang Formless Divine Skill' succeeds; then it won't be too late to proceed."
