Seeing that the topic was starting to drift, John quickly cut in.

"Esteemed seniors, if anyone knows the specific details of the World Tree Fruit, I would be grateful for your guidance."

A calm divine will took over the conversation.

"Newcomer, are you trying to fight for one on behalf of a demigod-grade junior? That heart of yours is commendable. As for whether you can actually obtain one, that is another matter."

"Very well. I shall tell you about the World Tree Fruit."

John’s mind stirred.

"Please enlighten me."

"The World Tree Fruit is produced in the demigod-grade sub-realm of the Cosmic Mother Tree Secret Realm. The Cosmic Mother Tree Secret Realm is the most miraculous and vastest treasure vault among countless universes, and it is also one of the most supreme existences."

"All treasure lands within the universe are divided and occupied by major factions. Our Skyvault Consortium happens to hold a place within the Cosmic Mother Tree Secret Realm and possesses three demigod-grade slots."

Hmm? Skyvault Consortium had slots!

John’s eyes lit up, and his divine will immediately asked, "I see."

"That is not all!" The divine will chuckled and continued, "The Cosmic Mother Tree Secret Realm is divided into five major sub-realms: demigod, High God, God King, Sovereign, and peak Sovereign. Each sub-realm produces treasures corresponding to its own level. The World Tree Fruit is produced in the demigod-grade sub-realm and is one of the rarest and most supreme treasures at that level."

"The World Tree Fruit blooms once every fifty million years and bears fruit once every fifty million years. From flowering to fruiting, it takes a full one hundred million years. Each time, it produces exactly five fruits, no more and no less."

"However, even after the fruits are formed, they cannot be picked immediately. Dense chaotic baleful energy clings to them, and one must wait five days for part of that energy to disperse before making a move."

"After the fruits mature, they enter the falling period. One must wait until the fruits naturally fall before collecting them. When collecting them, the fruits must neither touch the ground nor be touched by the physical body. They must be received with a specialized container. Even after obtaining them, they cannot be consumed immediately. One must wait until the chaotic baleful energy within the fruits has completely dissipated."

"These are all the details regarding the World Tree Fruit."

The divine will finished speaking in one breath, then added with a smile, "Coincidentally, we are now in the fruit-ripening period. In about ten days, the fruits will enter the falling period."

John patiently digested the information.

When he heard that it took one hundred million years for the World Tree Fruit to mature, his heart sank sharply.

One hundred million years?

By then, everything would already be long over!

But when he heard the final part and learned that the fruits happened to be ripening right now, and that they could be collected in about ten days, his eyes lit up again.

Good heavens...

What perfect timing.

"Still, this World Tree Fruit really is particular," he muttered inwardly. It was no different from those legendary divine objects that required meticulous care before they would bear fruit.

Thinking of this, John hurriedly asked, "How does one obtain a slot to enter the Cosmic Mother Tree Secret Realm?"

Another unfamiliar divine will immediately replied in a casual tone.

"That is simple..."

"You can directly use the points in your possession to exchange for a qualification."

Who would have thought that as soon as these words were spoken, countless godly experts would immediately refute him?

"You call that simple? If you want to exchange points for it, you need at least two million points. Do you think earning two million points is easy?"

"Exactly. I think this person has truly gone senile. And even if you spend two million points to exchange for a qualification, there is no guarantee that you will obtain the World Tree Fruit."

"Only those who are extremely confident in their own strength would be willing to spend two million points just to attempt to obtain the World Tree Fruit."

"That is right. Those who can compete for the World Tree Fruit are all geniuses of their respective races."

"Who would be foolish enough to spend two million points on something they have almost no chance of obtaining?"

"Skyvault has kept those slots available all this time. I have never heard of any demigod-grade expert choosing to spend two million points just for a World Tree Fruit."

Listening to the exchange between the divine wills, John’s divine will remained calm and still.

From their conversation, it was clear that spending two million points did not guarantee obtaining the World Tree Fruit.

Before this, no demigod-grade existence had ever obtained one.

Two million points sounded like a lot, but if he was willing, obtaining them would not be difficult.

With this thought in mind, John asked, "After obtaining the World Tree Fruit, does one also need a specialized container?

May I ask where such a container can be obtained?"

Soon, a divine will replied.

"There is a specialized item for storing the World Tree Fruit in the Skyvault Token’s point exchange list. However, its cost-performance ratio is not very good."

"Not very good? That is putting it mildly. It is just a container, yet it dares to charge five hundred thousand points. It is practically daylight robbery."

John fell into thought after hearing this.

Five hundred thousand points to exchange for a container, plus two million points to exchange for a qualification to enter the World Tree Secret Realm. Altogether, that would be two and a half million points.

His gaze narrowed slightly.

For now, he finally had a clear goal.

He had to do everything he could to obtain more points.

"I currently only have one million points. If I truly want to obtain the World Tree Fruit, I still need another one and a half million points."

"The other three members of Valhalla have roughly the same amount of points as I do."

With this in mind, John thanked them and withdrew from the Skyvault Token space.

...

As soon as he came out, John told the others about the World Tree Fruit.

The other three reacted differently after hearing it.

Odelle supported him decisively.

"Guild leader, our points are your points. Use them however you like."

Hilt pondered for a moment.

"Mm. I can give you my points. Just remember to pay me back later."

Holly curled her lips and asked curiously, "Is this World Tree Fruit tasty? If it is not, I can give my points to you, guild leader."

John directly ignored Holly’s words.

"Although the points of these three combined amount to several hundred thousand, there is still a considerable gap from two and a half million points.

Aside from special events, the most common way to obtain Skyvault Consortium points is by completing missions.

That means, before anything else, farming missions is the fastest way for me to earn points."

Since that was the case, John looked at the Skyvault Token in his hand.

His divine sense once again entered the Skyvault Token and opened the Skyvault Consortium’s mission board.
