Chapter 258 The choice of the sacred tree!

The White Bone Bodhisattva embodies the essence of the Three Corpse Gods and is most sensitive to the three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance.

Able to perceive other people's thoughts to a certain extent.

Any trace of ill will from King Nathan would be regarded as a threat and eliminated. Obviously, the fact that the other party is still standing here already explains the result.

Even so, she only dared to watch from a distance and did not dare to take a step further.

"Hello, guest from afar."

King Nathan said with some respect in his tone.

As the queen of Nasen Island, she can sense the presence of anyone on this land to a certain extent.

The man before him had a very strong vitality, perhaps comparable to that of Mr. Taber.

King Nathan lowered his eyelids.

Isaac Taber is the president of Flamel College in England and the most powerful magician and alchemist in the entire modern West.

This legendary figure once visited Nathan Island.

It was hard to imagine that a young man who looked to be in his twenties could give her the same feeling as Mr. Taber.

Yes, in my twenties.
At this time, Wang Yuanjing's true face was revealed due to excessive use of true Qi, and he had not yet turned back into the appearance of Po Xun.

Wang Yuanjing looked at the calm woman in front of him, with a hint of something strange in his eyes.

King Nathan gives me a very similar feeling to Feng Baobao.

However, the latter is more silly and heartless, while King Nathan's eyes are filled with unspeakable sadness.

Seeing that Wang Yuanjing was silent, King Nathan spoke slowly:
"I would like you to join us in the fight against Behemoth."

"Oh? But why should I help you?"

Wang Yuanjing said expressionlessly.

“As the chosen one by the sacred tree, anyone entering or leaving the island can be sensed by us.

"The King has a more powerful privilege. Wu said you were looking for someone. We can help you."

King Nathan replied.

Hearing this, Wang Yuanjing's eyes showed a hint of interest:
"I remember that on Nasen Island, as long as you break off the golden branch, you can step on the old king to ascend to the throne. If that's the case, why don't I do it myself?"

King Nathan was silent for a while, then took the initiative to extend his hand.

Wang Yuanjing held his hand, and the two of them turned their vision and came to a foggy place.

"please."

King Nathan pointed at the sacred tree in front of him and said calmly.

"Break off the golden branch and kill me, and you will be the new King Nathan."

Wang Yuanjing looked up and down at the sacred tree in front of him. From the appearance, this sacred tree that dominated the fate of Nasen Island for thousands of years was no different from other ordinary trees.

"What is this fog?"

There was a hint of thought in his eyes.

"The guards have been on higher alert recently. There have been no accidents in hundreds of years, and we have been negligent."

King Nathan spoke calmly.

The surprise she was referring to was the Golden Bough Ceremony.

Although this special way of ascending to the throne exists, for so many years, King Nathan's position has always been directly chosen by the sacred tree.

"Can I get a closer look?"

Wang Yuanjing asked politely.

King Nathan's eyes flashed with surprise, and after hesitating for a moment, he said:

"As you wish, if you are curious about the sacred tree, you will understand everything after you become the new king."

"Can't you just tell me?"

Wang Yuanjing asked back.

"Feel sorry."

This was the first time that King Nathan rejected Wang Yuanjing's proposal since the two met.

The latter was shocked.

King Nathan was willing to give up his throne, but was unwilling to reveal even a little information about the sacred tree.

Is it another existence similar to Tianshidu?
Wang Yuanjing understood.

He had no intention of blaming King Nathan, but walked to the sacred tree.

A kind of vitality that he had never seen before burst out from the trunk of the sacred tree. The sacred tree began to emit a faint light, and the branches began to sway gently.

It seemed like they were expressing joy at Wang Yuanjing's arrival.

King Nathan's pupils shrank, and he wanted to say something, but subconsciously covered his mouth. How is this possible?

The sacred tree is actively catering to this person!

For so many years, even she, the King of Nasen, and the Nasen Guards have not been able to receive such favor.

"Really? Then we should be heading in the right direction."

Wang Yuanjing spoke to the void, and the three magic beads on his wrist moved slightly.

Madam Sanmo told her that the moment she approached the sacred tree, she suddenly felt an inexplicable throbbing.

When the sacred tree heard this, its trunk swayed even more briskly.

Wang Yuanjing glanced at it:
"I'm not talking to you."

Visibly with the naked eye, the sacred tree's movements suddenly stopped, like an ignorant adolescent boy who had just broken up.

Wang Yuanjing withdrew from the sacred tree and walked back to King Nathan:
"I can help you fight Behemoth, but it is not my job to protect the sacred tree."

Is there any difference between the two?

There was a hint of doubt in King Nathan's eyes.

"Thank you so much!"

The king in white lowered his head and clasped his hands together, and his tone changed rarely.

"You don't look like a king."

Wang Yuanjing said with some surprise.

So servile
This is completely contrary to the popular impression of the king. Even the British mascot would not look like this, right?

"It is said that there were indeed kings with great power in the past, but unfortunately I am not one of them. Apart from the privileges granted by the 'Tree', I can say that I have no power at all.

"It's just that I was chosen to survive this way."

King Nathan smiled happily.

Is this why this woman was able to gain Mochizuki Satoru's loyalty?
Only sincerity can be exchanged for sincerity.

Wang Yuanjing recalled the dragon among men of the Wangyue family who had fought with him before.

A lineage that left its homeland to avoid being demanded to pledge allegiance by those in power actually pledged allegiance to a king again hundreds of years later.

Fate really played a huge joke on these people.

"Okay, I get it, send me off."

Wang Yuanjing nodded and said to King Nathan.

The latter did not respond immediately, and hesitated for a moment before asking:
"I want to ask you a question."

"Ok?"

"Why did you change your mind after seeing the sacred tree? You don't have to care about my feelings. You can do whatever you want with my life."

King Nathan felt that based on the reaction of the sacred tree just now, if he were not there, the tree would probably be chosen immediately to become the new King Nathan.

The branches of the sacred tree moved again without wind, as if expecting something.

Seeing this, King Nathan felt bitter in his heart.

"I haven't changed my mind, and I don't care about your feelings."

Wang Yuanjing turned his attention back to the sacred tree.

Become the King of Nathan? Tie yourself to this sinking ship?

How can this be?

The destruction of Nathan Island is an inevitable result. Even without Behemoth, there will be Leviathan, Kraken, and Nidhogg.
The world tree standing on Nasen Island will eventually be devoured by monsters.

Behemoth is fine, he doesn't have the strength to face any big country.

He understands this better than anyone else.

"As for you, I'm a little curious why you don't value your life so much?"

Wang Yuanjing looked at King Nathan, somewhat puzzled.

Even ants try to survive, let alone humans? That old man Li Muxuan really doesn't know how to teach children.

"Of course I don't want to die, I want to win the Golden Bough Ceremony, I want to continue to live as the king.

"If there is no invasion from the outside world, then compared to that, whether or not I continue to live as the 'King' is not important at all.

"At this critical time, Nasen Island needs a more powerful 'king', and you are more suitable than me."

King Nathan said calmly.

Besides, the sacred tree likes you more!
The king in white felt mixed emotions.
