The Chaos tree was indeed divine.Not only could it absorb weapons, but it could even absorb the negative powers from the outside.‘No, the Chaos tree isn’t taking the damage for me. It’s absorbing large amounts of Nature's power, taking it as its own.’A whirlpool formed in front of Alex.The power formed into an endless whirlpool, flowing right into the Chaos tree. Alex used his inner vision and noticed that the tree branches were growing rapidly after absorbing the power.Back then, it was just a small, five-meter tree.Soon, it grew to six, seven… then to ten meters… and then fifteen meters.It continued sprouting at a rapid pace with the extra power it had.Alex was shocked to see this. ‘Nature’s power is way too intense! This tree has been in my palace for ages, and it hasn’t grown much. Yet, by absorbing this power, it’s inflating like a darn balloon!’The Chaos bead hanging on the tree was slowly glistening as well, as though absorbing the energy within the tree.Pshh
After Yuno got hit, she landed harshly on the ground and fell unconscious.Jade was speechless, but she still checked up on her immediately. Seconds later, Yuno regained consciousness, and she looked very much confused. Staring at Jade and the bronze palace, she was shocked. “C… Commander Benmore, where is this place? Oh god… why is there such a big bronze house?”‘Oh my, two souls in one body?’ Jade thought in surprise.***Boom—The large bronze door finally closed.Alex was still absorbing Nature’s power. Such complicated power flowed into his mind palace as the Chaos tree continued to absorb it. At the same time, the tree emitted Chaos Chi. The concentration of this energy had increased by tenfold in his entire mind palace.At this rate, the Chaos tree would’ve grown 50 meters.The ape standing next to Zendaya was staring at Alex, baring his teeth. It then raised its arm, trying to kill him with one slap.Zendaya immediately stopped it when she noticed what happened.
“She… gave birth?”Upon hearing the infant's cries, Alex could sense that they were connected by blood, and it moved his heart instantly in a special way. It was a fascinating feeling.It felt as if he was a brand new version of himself as if his life had continued.He couldn’t care less about the changes within his golden core and rushed over. Instantly, he saw Zendaya, who seemed to be very weak. Her forehead was drenched in sweat, and her face was even covered in bloodstains. In her arms was a tiny, fair-skinned baby, crying loudly.He stopped in his tracks, not knowing what to do as the father. He approached them slowly as his eyes nervously fixated themselves on the baby girl.He reached out his arms, but he didn’t know how to pick her up.Alex touched Zendaya’s face instead, placing his forehead on hers and kissing her on the lips.He could feel the pain she had to go through. “How did you manage to give birth in such a short time? You must be tired, huh?”“A little,
Zendaya shook her head. “Hubby, if you can’t remember, then don’t. The past isn’t important; the present is. Just look at our daughter. She has your nose and mouth!”Alex calmed himself once more.‘Zendaya is right; no matter what happened in our past lives, it should stay in the past. Even if a psychic said that I used to be some emperor, it would all just be mere stories. It’s got nothing to do with the present. Besides, even without the past, I would still love Zendaya even more now.’“Can I hug her?” Alex asked.“She’s your daughter. Of course, you can.”Alex slowly picked up the baby girl in his arms. He was extremely careful as if afraid a single mistake might hurt her tiny, frail body.However, as Alex held her, he instantly felt an unusual amount of Nature’s power. ‘This newborn infant actually possesses such a large amount of Nature’s power in her! This is shocking.’Alex looked towards Zendaya. “Why is Nature's power within her body so strong? That’s so strange. And
Alex felt his heart jump.The giant lotus flower slowly descended from the skies. Before it fell on them, Alex felt an immensely strong flow of Nature’s power.Golden talismans flowed within every petal.Each ray of Nature’s power glistened like the stars, brimming like a rainbow, floating endlessly within the flower.As this big golden flower fell down on them, Alex nearly knelt to the ground.He was worried that this golden lotus flower would harm his daughter to the point that she couldn’t be healed. He tried dodging as fast as lightning, but it was to no avail.An intense pressure seemed to be underneath the lotus flower, attracting his daughter and forcing her out of his arms.Alex didn’t dare to drag her too hard, still apprehensive that he might hurt her. In the end, the baby girl appeared above the golden lotus flower.Its gold surrounded her as the energy flowed into the baby’s body. It was an extraordinary sight.The talismans in the petals rushed out of it like wa
Just then, Alex and the others rushed out of the palace like the wind.Simultaneously, the bronze palace disappeared as soon as a loud crashing sound filled the air. The area had become deserted. There wasn’t even a hole right there, as if the large Nature’s palace was just a mere illusion.***“Ah—”“No way? You gave birth in a week?” Jade screamed when she saw the baby in Alex’s arms.After that, she observed the baby’s face and noticed the lotus mark on her forehead. It looked quite odd yet divine, so Jade asked, “Is this a birthmark? It’s so weird!”After the legacy entered the baby’s body, as though hiding itself away, not a single person would be able to sense it.Even if Jade was leaning this close, along with her Tribulation Crossing level, she couldn't sense anything at all.Alex didn’t want to spread the word about his daughter being the future Goddess of Nature. “It’s probably because I’m trained in Buddhism. Since a lotus is a Buddhist sacred object, and the martial
Boom—Eleanor was furious after hearing what Darnic said. “Darnic, you’re really the most shameless, useless, and unmanly Flying Eagles I’ve ever met. And you’re even their commander! What else do you know other than abusing your power? You’re actually blaming all of this on Jade? Don’t you have any shame in saying this?“Not to mention Jade’s been missing for an entire week. How would she get to know these shitty plans of yours? You just want to find someone to blame. As commander, you can’t even get into the ancient boundary. Now, you want to lead the war? Are you stupid?”Deeply embarrassed, Darnic directed his anger towards Eleanor.“Eleanor Curtis! I am the commander of the Flying Eagles!” he yelled. “How dare you talk to me like that? Do you want to get fired?”Eleanor sneered. “I quit then. You really think I like this job? America will come to an end thanks to your sort of trash.”When Eleanor was done berating, she grabbed her identity token, slammed it onto the table,
With the shouts of Yacoub and others, the news about Eleanor leaving spread quickly among the Flying Eagles of Oregon.Within ten minutes, thousands of people followed suit. All of them were old troops that followed Jade in the fights at the ancient boundary. They had an immensely strong bond with Jade and Eleanor. Hence they were genuinely disappointed with the current Flying Eagles.“Let’s leave. I’m leaving too!”“It’s time to quit. I’ve been here for thirteen years. I’ve fought more than three hundred wars, and I’ve nearly died thirty-six times. It’s time to plan for the rest of my life.”“Yeah. It’s not worth fighting for the Flying Eagles now.”“The spirit of the Flying Eagles has been lost.”One by one, identity tokens were dropped to the ground and stepped on. If it was before, these tokens were like precious treasures to the troops of Flying Eagles. They weren’t merely tokens but symbols of pride to be part of this squad. By the time Eleanor left, up to ten thousand pe
