Chapter 2208  Division


"The Nature"s Heart Crystal we sought in the Elders Council earlier is used to infuse power into the sacred tree. As the sacred tree gradually grows, its energy requirements will continuously increase, necessitating external sources of strength to supplement it."


"As for the essence of the sacred tree, it is inherited from the previous ancient sacred tree and can provide tremendous power to the sacred tree, greatly enhancing its strength. According to tradition, the essence of the sacred tree will only be bestowed after the selection of the new sacred tree is completed."


Senzo"s expression grew even more serious as he reiterated, "So it must not fall into the hands of outsiders!"


Cultivating the sacred tree...


Indeed.


As Fang Heng listened, he couldn"t help but silently nod. The information Sandy obtained from the records was indeed accurate.


So now all the major clans are cultivating their sacred trees.


At this moment, the main storyline game hint appeared again on Fang Heng"s retina.


[Hint: The player triggers the main storyline-Division of the tree spirit tribe.]


Mission name: Division of the tree spirit tribe.


Mission description: All along, as the old generation of sacred trees weakened, the tree spirit tribe relied on the cultivation of the sacred tree to select the leader of this generation of the tree spirit tribe. The player needs to choose a certain tree spirit tribe clan, gain recognition from that clan, join their camp, and a.s.sist them in becoming the leader of the tree spirit tribe.


Mission requirements 1: Gain recognition from a certain clan, choose and join their camp, and help them partic.i.p.ate and win in the sacred tree cultivation battle.


Mission requirements 2: a.s.sist the clan in obtaining the orthodox inheritance of the tree spirit tribe.


Mission requirements 3: Increase the friendship level with the tree spirit tribe to 2,000; maximize the friendship level with the target clan.


Mission requirements 4: Increase the contribution points of the tree spirit tribe to 50,000,000, and increase the contribution points of the target clan to 50,000,000.


Mission requirements 5: Obtain the inheritance of the "Great Elder" within the target clan.


Mission reward: After completing all mission branches, the completion rate of the main storyline mission will increase by 30%.


"Ah, I see..."


After Senzo"s explanation and the game hint, Fang Heng more or less understood the situation.


The main challenge in the early to mid stages of the game was how to find the tree spirit tribe, gain their trust, and open the gateway to the "Inner World" under the hostility of the sp.a.w.ns, helping the tree spirit tribe return to the Inner World.


In the late stage, as the power of the sp.a.w.ns was greatly weakened and the tree spirit tribe entered the "Inner World", it turned into internal turmoil among the tree spirit tribe.


The player needed to choose one of the tree spirit tribes and help them reunify the entire tree spirit tribe.


Originally, in the late-stage missions, there should have been a large number of player forces partic.i.p.ating in the various tree spirit tribes, fighting each other, with the superior ones eliminating the inferior ones, until the strongest tree spirit tribe with the a.s.sistance of the players was selected.


Now it seemed that because he had completed the early to mid-stage missions in a very short time, other players had not yet entered the game world, and currently, he was the only one belonging to the player faction.


Fang Heng furrowed his brow.


This was troublesome.


Now he understood. No wonder the game had given clear hints from the beginning, requiring him to follow the tree spirit tribe"s faction all the way.


It seemed to be paving the way for the mid-to-late-stage missions.


In the late stage, the difficulty of the missions lay not only in helping a particular tree spirit tribe win control over the entire tree spirit tribe but also in gaining favorability and a significant contribution from the tree spirit tribe.


Given the temperament of the tree spirit tribe, achieving this was extremely difficult!


Not to mention that his favorability with the entire tree spirit tribe was negative at the moment.


As for the Leaf tribe...


He had offended them even more severely.


What a scam!


But alright.


There was also good news.


At least now, he understood the game"s mission targets pretty well.


Of course, there were still a few unsolved mysteries.


Such as why the tree spirits suddenly disappeared, why the pa.s.sage to the Inner World suddenly broke, where each tree spirit tribe"s sacred trees came from, and so on.


But for now, these questions didn"t seem as important.


"Fang Heng, the essence of the sacred tree is extremely important to us. There will inevitably be a fierce battle soon. Will you come with us?"


[Hint: The player triggers a side mission-Protecting the essence of the sacred tree.]


Mission name: Protecting the essence of the sacred tree.


Mission requirements: With your help, Vannes obtained a piece of the essence of the sacred tree. But Vannes is currently under attack by various other tribes and stone spirit puppets. Please a.s.sist the leaf tribe in rescuing the trapped Vannes and the essence of the sacred tree from the ruins of the tree spirit tribe"s Elders Council.


Mission reward: Leaf tribe friendship, Leaf tribe reputation, tree spirit tribe reputation.


Fang Heng looked at the side mission that appeared and sighed inwardly.


What a headache.


At least for the Leaf tribe, they were not a suitable collaboration partner.


Their favorability rating kept dropping from time to time, and even though he helped them a lot along the way, they didn"t even extend an invitation to join their camp...


And for such a high-difficulty mission, they only offer a bit of friendship and reputation?


Was it all just for nothing?


Fang Heng looked at Senzo, continuing, "Senzo, do you still remember that you promised me... about the advancement in natural science inheritance?"


Fang Heng"s meaning was clear.


Let"s talk about the next step next time.


How about you settle the previous promises first?


Senzo listened, his expression showing some displeasure, "Fang Heng, the situation is urgent now. There"s no time to help you advance in natural science."


"You come with us first. If the rescue of Vannes fails and the essence of the sacred tree falls into the hands of other tribes, the entire leaf tribe may become subservient to other tribes. By then, the ceremony you promised may not be possible to fulfill. You"re on your own!"


As he spoke, a Leaf tribe member hurried over, reporting, "Great Elder, we"re ready to depart at any time."


"Hmm."


Senzo nodded and hurriedly left under the escort of the tree spirit tribe.


[Hint: The player"s favorability rating with the leaf tribe decreased by 1 point.]


[Hint: The player"s favorability rating with the Leaf tribe has reached a critical value. Please be careful, player.]


Fang Heng watched Senzo"s departing figure and couldn"t help but squint.


Heh.


The tree spirit tribe was threatening him?


No reward?


Even denying the rewards acknowledged by the system?


They were bullying him, huh?


Fang Heng"s premonition was correct; cooperating with the Leaf tribe was not a good choice.


It would be better to choose a more suitable candidate from among the other tree spirit tribe factions.


So be it.


For today, he would stop here.


As for the mission to rescue Vannes, he had no interest in partic.i.p.ating.


After all, he still carried two essences of the sacred tree.


The lifeblood enveloping the two seeds of the sacred tree seemed like a balloon being continuously inflated.


As the natural energy released by the seeds of the sacred tree was continuously compressed, the pressure on the balloon was gradually increasing.
