My God, I am the emperor, the lord of mankind.

Chapter 345 World Tree

"This is--"

Claude looked at the towering ancient trees in front of him.

His expression was full of excitement.

The giant tree rising from the ground in front of us is so sacred.

The branches are as thick as gold, and each leaf is like glass, emitting colorful light in the sun.

And among the green leaves and branches, there are some fruits that are full of life.

What makes Claude even more ecstatic is that at this moment, the trees in front of him are opening and vomiting.

The giant tree is sucking out a steady stream of magic power that can be directly used by wizards.

This almost brought tears to Cloud's eyes.

Finally - wizards finally saw the light of breaking free from the limitations of the ether.

We are about to create a new prosperous era of our own again!
  "I don't know how to thank you!"

Claude said.

His eyes were full of excitement.

Although the shocking vision accompanying the birth of the World Tree was destined to keep the news secret for a long time.

But the place where the seal of the World Tree is located is the territory under Cloud's rule.

Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it's the deliberate arrangement of some great beings——

This made Zhu Houcong feel particularly bad.

Claude has established a fairly complete fortress and defense system here, and the law wizards have already seized the highest power in wizard society.

He is not very worried about the attacks he may suffer after the World Tree is born.

"No, have you found all the information I asked you to find?"

Zhu Houcong stood aside, also admiring the sacred giant tree in front of him.

But compared to the Law Order wizards next to them, they were pleasantly surprised that the wizards finally no longer had to work hard to convert the ether into magic power that the wizards could use in order to maintain the operation of the entire system.

Zhu Houcong is more concerned about the life contained in the fruits of the World Tree above his head.

Elf? Goblin? Tree man? Or something else?
  "Of course...everything is ready!"

Claude finally calmed down from his excitement. He tried his best to move his eyes away from the ancient tree in front of him that could change the world.

Clap your hands.

Two tribesmen, who were dressed simply but decently, walked out of the forest path not far away. They held two maps in their hands and walked towards the powerful wizard who controlled hundreds of tribes in a thousand miles.

Compared to Jin's tribe.

The limbs of the tribal people in front of him were intact, their skin color was shiny, and they looked healthy.

Claude gave the two maps to Zhu Houcong and added.

"This is marked with the sage named Owen, who is suspected to be from the two places where he was last seen... If there is no one here, there is a high probability that he is no longer in the Southern Continent, or his body is gone!"

Claude shrugged, showing a helpless expression.

Zhu Houcong nodded.

After completing the deal with Claude, Zhu Houcong returned to the tribe with Jin and resettled Natasha in Claude's territory.

Then he embarked on the treasure hunt with Claude alone.

Of course, before that, Zhu Houcong first tidied up the King Qin sword that wanted to overthrow the world.

Thinking of this, Zhu Houcong gently stroked the sword blade in his right hand.

Feeling Zhu Houcong's touch.

Qin Wangjian trembled subconsciously, but then a flattering message came.

King Qin's sword, which was rebellious under the influence of the red stone, strangely recovered and became calm after absorbing the flesh and blood of the tree demon. It was as if the great being after the tree demon secretly took action and sealed the ghost released by the Red God back into the sword.

This made Zhu Houcong, who originally thought he would have another encounter with the unknown being living in King Qin's sword, subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the thought of the sudden back stab from King Qin's sword still makes Zhu Houcong still frightened.

After finding Natasha's father and finishing the matter here as soon as possible, when we return to the Ming Dynasty, we must deal with the hidden dangers in King Qin's sword as soon as possible.

However, I thought of the intermittent words I heard from that thing’s mouth before.

Zhu Houcong looked at the ordinary sword in his hand that King Qin used to control the world.

Unexpectedly, the King of Qin Sword is actually related to the ancient Great Qin Empire and the Ancestral Dragon?
  Zhu Houcong thought in his mind.

I just don’t know if Guo Xun and others, along with some of the rangers and imperial troops, secretly went to North Korea under the cover of the Ministry of Rites to investigate the elixir. I don’t know if there are any results now.

Or should we let the Jin Yiwei take action again and drive those rebels of the White Lotus Sect to North Korea, forcing them to continue their actions and pointing the way for the Ming Dynasty's subsequent investigation in North Korea.

Zhu Houcong's thoughts were spinning.

Next to him, Claude fell to his knees on the ground for some unknown reason. After a moment, he opened his eyes, his eyes full of piety.

After slowly kowtowing three times to the World Tree in front of him, he broke off three branches from the World Tree in front of him, and each branch had exactly three young leaves growing on it.

He turned around and looked at the sage behind him, who had just experienced one hearty adventure after another in search of the holy tree with him in half a month.

At this moment, the last bit of caution he felt towards the friend from the Federation completely disappeared because of his identity.

"As a testimony of our friendship, please accept these three saplings——"

Claude handed the branch to Zhu Houcong in front of him and said firmly.

"..."

Zhu Houcong was stunned.

He was speechless for a moment.

Although these three saplings look like nothing.

But according to the stone tablet records, the growth of the World Tree is extremely slow.

Who knows how long it will take for it to grow another leaf.

Moreover, if these three saplings that can transform all things into the purest energy can be transplanted to the Ming Dynasty, they will undoubtedly greatly improve Zhu Houcong's progress in transforming the Ming Dynasty and leading him on the road to immortality.

"Thank you-"

Zhu Houcong nodded.

"In fact, I sent people to start searching for the two sages you are looking for early in the morning while drawing the map... If you believe me, you can stay here for a while and wait for them to send news before taking action. Not too late..."

Claude looked into the eyes of the sage in front of him and spoke slowly.

But Zhu Houcong thought for a moment and shook his head.

Another plan was proposed.

"I asked Jin to stay with you. If there is any news, let her inform me. I still have some things to do, so I can't bother you anymore."

No matter what the outcome is, Natasha will eventually return to federal civilization and continue living.

Zhu Houcong didn't want her to get too involved in the affairs of these wizards.

Although Zhu Houcong can basically confirm through observation that Claude is not as barbaric, crazy, cold, and cruel as most traditional wizards.

But there are quite a few ideas from the Meiji era in it.

But Zhu Houcong was not sure whether all the law wizards could do what Claude did, or whether the law wizard in front of him, who was fairly moral, could be considered a special case in the wizarding society.

And, more importantly.

At this moment, Zhu Houcong has realized that behind the wars and conflicts between civilizations on the surface of this world, there are higher beings playing games in secret.

He was already secretly alert and determined to keep himself as far away from the vortex of the struggle as possible between the two and even more unspeakable powerful beings.
