The Tree of Imagination that had appeared from the King's Treasure was still in the form of a seed.
It was the same as what he had encountered in Northern Europe. The Tree of Imagination there was growing well, so it had produced many seeds. They were inverted cone-shaped and were clear blue in color. There were many strange diamond-shaped protrusions on their bodies.
Ryuga held the seed in his hand. The seed was still making shrill noises as it tried to escape from his hand.
The special life force emanating from its body was completely different from all the life forms known to the present day. It had a difference that did not belong to the same laws. In essence, it was a product that should not exist in this world.
"This is …?!"
Even the First Emperor couldn't help but raise his voice an octave when he saw the seed of the Tree of Imagination with his own eyes. His previous good mood instantly disappeared.
"This is the seed of the Tree of Imagination."
Ryuga held the root of the Tree of Imagination tightly with both hands as he explained to the First Emperor.
"I've seen this thing in other anomaly zones. It's the key to why the anomaly zone is called an anomaly zone. Only by allowing the Tree of Imagination to take root can the anomaly zone survive. Only by allowing the Tree of Imagination to successfully grow can the anomaly zone maintain its existence. If the Tree of Imagination grows to a certain extent, it can even become a huge disaster that threatens pan-human history …"
Ryuga didn't hide anything and revealed all the information he knew about the Tree of Imagination.
"Is that so … That's why you all said that my world had gone astray and that this world was going to be destroyed …"
The First Emperor fell into a state of constant muttering to himself. His tone seemed calm, but it was full of emotions.
Anyone who had seen the Tree of Imagination with their own eyes could understand how extraordinary it was. Not to mention, the First Emperor might very well have immortal-level eyesight.
Ryuga found the Daoist Golden Core in the treasury. It was hard to imagine that the First Emperor didn't apply that technology to himself. Even the remains of the immortal puppet were the same.
Or rather, the remains might be the main culprit. It was because of the discovery of the remains that the First Emperor embarked on the path of mechanical ascension. He completely mechanized himself and even created a decisive weapon like Xiang Yu.
In the past few days, Ryuga had fully understood the reason why the anomaly zone and pan-human history diverged.
All of this was because the First Emperor had given up on using mercury to refine pills in his pursuit of immortality. Instead, he had searched for the remains of that immortal puppet.
The First Emperor, who had that kind of eyesight, could see the essence of the Tree of Imagination at a glance.
"We understand."
After a long time, the First Emperor finally let out a long and calm sigh.
"Although I did wonder if this was the case, I didn't expect the ending to be so unsatisfactory … But this doesn't mean that I will admit defeat! You will admit that my ruling of the world is not as good as the history of mankind! "
"In the end, what's wrong with this peaceful world of mine? There's no pain in my world at all! From what you've said earlier, it seems that even in modern times, the Earth in human history has not been unified. Presumably, there are wars happening all over the world. Presumably, many refugees have died of famine, countless civilians have died in the flames of war, and countless laboring people have suffered from birth, old age, illness, and death! "
The First Emperor finally admitted the truth of the anomaly zone.
However, he was still full of lofty sentiments and had no intention of admitting defeat. His tone was even filled with the attitude of wanting to compete with pan-human history.
"Little fellow named Ryuga, why don't you tell me?"
The First Emperor's passionate voice also entered Ryuga's ears.
"You must have your own plans for presenting this seed to me, right? Moreover, we haven't forgotten that you said when we first met that you would come to snip off this anomaly zone of mine! "
The truth and truth were finally clear at this moment.
It was inevitable that the two sides would become enemies, and the smell of gunpowder gradually arose between them.
"Let's compete fairly."
Ryuga looked at the Taiji Daoist Temple not far away and said the speech that he had prepared long ago.
"I'll leave this seed of the Tree of Imagination to you. Do your best to nurture it, but I'll also do my best to destroy it. In the end, the outcome of this Tree of Imagination will determine which side will win."
As he said this, he threw the seed of the Tree of Imagination in his hand in the direction of the Taiji Daoist Temple.
As soon as the seed of the Tree of Imagination broke free from Ryuga's hand, it immediately tried to escape.
However, soon, tentacles formed by mercury spheres surrounded it from all directions and tied it in the center, leaving it nowhere to escape.
"Oh?"
The First Emperor let out a cry of surprise as he bound the seed of the Tree of Imagination.
"You're using this little thing that determines the survival of a world as a wager? Interesting, this is indeed a fair duel that can put everything on the line. If I can lose like this, then I have no complaints! Alright, I'll allow it! "
"I'll plant this seed of the Tree of Imagination in the shortest time possible and let it mature. When that time comes, we'll decide which side is more outstanding!"
…
After handing the seed of the Tree of Imagination to the First Emperor and agreeing to use the Tree of Imagination as a wager for the fate of China's anomaly zone, Ryuga left the Mechanical Holy Body.
And after he left.
"Captain!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Following the First Emperor's order, an old man wearing a light gray tunic suit and sunglasses appeared on the one-way wooden bridge like a ghost.
"Go to Mount Li immediately and choose some generals according to the quota that I've given you. Wake them up from their deep slumber to deal with the upcoming battle!"
As the First Emperor said this, a silk name list fell from the sky and landed in the guard captain's hand.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The old man in the tunic suit had a cold expression, but he nodded brazenly in response. However, he immediately raised his head again.
"However, Your Majesty, I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should say it?"
"Yes, please speak your mind."
"Since it's the time for the decisive battle, Your Majesty, why don't you release all the generals sealed in Mount Li?"
The old man in the tunic suit lowered his head and looked at the silk list in his hand. Then, he said in confusion, "And this list … Forgive me for being blunt, but if people like the Three Peach Garden Brothers come out, it might stir up a storm of blood!"
"That's not true!"
The First Emperor snorted softly, as if he was shaking his head as he explained.
"Although this is the time for the decisive battle, it's not like we have no way out. If we win, everyone will be happy. I can suppress these people with a flip of my hand. However, we can't be too careful. If we lose … then we can only go to other worlds."
"When that time comes, there will be a new world to fight and new soldiers to lead. I must wake up all the generals in Mount Li. If the Liu, Guan, and Zhang brothers wake up at that time, it will be a disaster for the rear!"
"Then Your Majesty means … to release those traitors and let them fight to the death with the two people in the history of pan-human history, using the strategy of driving the tiger to devour the wolf?"
The old man in the tunic suit thought for a while and suddenly understood.
"Your Majesty is wise. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I'll set off for Mount Li now!"
