...

This voice was actually able to pass through his Divine Thought and transmit backward directly into his mind—what a terrifying and powerful ability was that?

Moreover, that voice sounded like the evening drum and the morning bell, every word as if striking his very soul, making the blood all over his body boil.

He instantly thought of a person, a person he had complained about many times—the Saint Emperor of the Divine Martial Dynasty.

"Child of the Human Race, by the time you hear this, I should have long since fallen. This is only a message without active consciousness. You need not worry that I will seize your body or anything like that. With my pride, I would not stoop to such a despicable act."

"The war between the Demon Race and our race has grown ever more intense. We keep sending troops into the spatial rifts to block the Demon Race, yet quite a few Low-tier Demons still break through the Array Barrier and enter the Human Race World. I have no choice but to initiate a nationwide war mobilization, widely recruiting militia, Elite Militia, Warriors, and Elite Soldiers, barely managing to maintain the situation."

"For you to enter the Recruit Training Camp and obtain this Immortal Seed means you are surely an extremely outstanding Unparalleled Celestial Pride. This Life Tree Immortal Species was something I obtained in my youth while traveling through an Alternate Space. It’s just that I already had a Lifebound Immortal Plant and did not want to waste it. Since you are fated to obtain her and capable of gaining her recognition, then please treat her well."

"If the demons have not yet retreated, then within the scope of your abilities, do a bit more for the Human Race."

Listening to the Saint Emperor’s rambling voice, Wang Shouzhe’s mood gradually calmed down. He tried asking, "Your Majesty, it has already been a hundred thousand years since the Divine Martial Dynasty perished."

However, that voice was completely unaffected and continued on: "If the demons have already withdrawn, then just live your life well. Perhaps you can go visit other worlds and have some fun."

Wang Shouzhe refused to give up and continued, "Your Majesty, how about giving me the highest authority of the Divine Dynasty? That way I can develop the Divine Dynasty’s relics... and contribute to driving out the demons."

"Alright, alright, without realizing it I’ve already said so much. Let’s end it here. Treat the Life Tree well. She is a very wondrous Immortal Plant and will bring you much help."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty? Could you leave all your inheritance to me..." Wang Shouzhe stubbornly voiced the last half of his sentence, but his words abruptly cut off.

Because that voice had already lost contact.

This left Wang Shouzhe quite disappointed.

The dignified Saint Emperor, such a Great Power, had actually only left a ’recording’ in the Life Tree Immortal Species, and hadn’t thought to make a brand that could allow for mutual communication.

Was he afraid Wang Shouzhe would fleece him?

The Divine Martial Dynasty has been destroyed for so long already, and undeveloped relics are rarer with each one. Even just giving him an authority key to open the Recruit Training Camp’s shared dimensional Warehouse would be good~

If not that, then awarding him a batch of Inheritance Treasure Manuals would also be fine...

Still so stingy even in death!

Disappointed! 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Forget it, forget it, better focus on what’s in front of me.

Feeling the Life Tree seedling in his palm swaying its tender leaves and radiating a mood of joy and excitement, Wang Shouzhe’s mood recovered quite a bit as he continued to circulate Profound Qi to accelerate its growth.

His Profound Qi contained the power of Life Origin and was extremely compatible with the Life Tree. Under his nurturing, the tiny sapling with only two tender leaves grew rapidly, quickly shooting up from palm-sized to half an arm in height. Its trunk thickened considerably, and its leaves went from the pitiful two to several dozen lush and verdant ones.

At this point, the Life Tree finally showed a faint outline of a real tree.

Compared to other trees in the same infant stage, its trunk was much shorter, yet unusually thick, showing a tendency toward horizontal development. At the same time, its leaves were very broad and densely lush, a single glance enough to tell that its Life Force was exceedingly vigorous.

Next, Wang Shouzhe began using the Technique recorded in the "Eternal Spring True Technique" to refine it into his Lifebound Spirit Plant.

Because the Life Tree seedling’s attribute was highly compatible with Wang Shouzhe’s own Profound Qi, and because the Life Tree seedling harbored no trace of resistance toward him and was extremely cooperative, the refinement process went extraordinarily smoothly.

Before long, Wang Shouzhe successfully refined the Life Tree into his Lifebound Spirit Plant. A spiritual link then formed between him and the Life Tree.

Previously, he could only vaguely sense the Life Tree’s emotions. But as this spiritual link came into being, man and tree became connected in consciousness, and the Life Tree’s emotions could be clearly transmitted into his sea of consciousness.

"Yi-yi-ya-ya~~"

The Life Tree’s voice was crisp and very childish, full of vitality. The only problem was... he couldn’t understand a word~~

This was just like a newborn baby. Because its vocal cords weren’t yet developed and it hadn’t learned correct pronunciation, it could only babble, leaving others clueless as to what it wanted to express.

Fortunately, Wang Shouzhe was linked to it spiritually; even though he didn’t understand a single word it said, he could at least roughly grasp the meaning.

It was simply expressing its happiness and its attachment to Wang Shouzhe.

And as the Life Tree became Wang Shouzhe’s Lifebound Spirit Plant, the functions of a Lifebound Spirit Plant slowly began to manifest.

You must know, between a Lifebound Spirit Plant and its master, there exists a certain degree of life-sharing and Energy sharing.

The reason Changchun Ascendant could live for more than eight hundred years and still remain vigorous, showing not the slightest sign of his Lifespan nearing its end, was to a great extent thanks to his Peak of Eighth Rank Longevity Tree.
