#280 - Chapter 279 Reminder from the Sacred Tree
【Source has recovered slightly.】
A line of text appeared. The Divine Tree responded, not caring about Jiang Han's offensive words. To it, these were meaningless.
"I see."
Jiang Han pondered, "Is it related to the anomalies?"
【Yes.】 The Divine Tree's response was brief and forceful.
"So, the reason you called me here is also because of this?" Jiang Han continued to ask.
【Yes, and no.】
The Divine Tree's answer was ambiguous.
Before Jiang Han could speak, the text continued to appear.
【The false gods from beyond the heavens have already set their sights on you.】
"False gods?"
Jiang Han's expression instantly became vigilant.
Even though he could now easily kill level 70 Immortal-grade creatures, he still didn't have the strength to directly contend with the incredibly powerful gods.
Especially with the Undying Divine Phoenix's current whereabouts with the Sacred Kirin unknown, he undoubtedly lacked a life-saving trump card.
"Can't be? I'm only level 70, and I'm already being targeted by creatures of that level?"
"Is it also because of the anomaly anchor point?"
Jiang Han didn't dare to be careless and quickly pressed for answers.
【Indeed, it is related.】
【However, there's no need to be too nervous. The false gods can't spare the time right now and can't descend in their true forms. They won't personally take action against you.】
"I see."
Jiang Han relaxed a little. "So, that means there are other methods?"
【The danger comes from within humanity.】
"Humanity? Within?"
Jiang Han's confusion deepened. He thought for a moment and asked, "Is it the forces that worship the gods?"
【Yes.】
The Divine Tree responded.
【Over these thousands of years, the false gods' infiltration of human society has far exceeded your imagination. Don't be careless.】
"Understood."
Jiang Han nodded. "So, the reason you called me here is also because of this?"
To be honest, the news the Divine Tree gave him was quite unexpected.
【Prepare as early as possible.】 The Divine Tree reminded him once again.
"Understood."
Jiang Han took a deep breath, his eyes flashing.
Since it was the false gods' doing, even if it was humans taking action, he couldn't be careless, or there might be big problems.
It seems necessary to prepare well.
【In addition, there is one more thing I need you to do.】
At this moment, another string of text appeared.
"Hmm?"
Jiang Han narrowed his eyes, immediately calculating in his mind.
Judging from the tone, it seems like it's asking for a favor…
"Hmm…"
Jiang Han pondered for a while, then put on an incredibly troubled look. "But now that the false gods are targeting me, I still have to make some preparations. Maybe I can't spare the time."
"You know, I'm just a level 70 minion. How could I have that kind of strength?"
【…】
Six dots floated in front of Jiang Han, then quickly disappeared.
【As a reward, when the false gods' forces attack you, the members of the World Shrine will help you.】
"In that case, it's not like I can't consider it."
Jiang Han's eyes lit up. The three elders of the World Shrine seemed very strong. If he could get their help, it would definitely be a great boost.
Not to mention the other experts.
After all, with the Divine Tree supporting him, Jiang Han had every reason to believe that the World Shrine's hard power was probably not below other top forces.
【What you need to do is simple: destroy the altars that receive anomalies as much as possible.】
【This is beneficial not only to me but also to the entire human race. It can delay the time it takes for the anomalies to completely descend.】
"Destroy the receiving altars?"
"That's simple?!"
Jiang Han immediately shouted, "Do you want to listen to what you're actually saying?!"
"Do you know that I almost died in there this time? That's a full ten Immortal-grade BOSSes!"
"If I hadn't been a little lucky and risked my life, you wouldn't be seeing me now."
【…】
Another six dots appeared.
The Divine Tree's branches swayed faster, as if a person was angry and had emotional fluctuations.
【Is there a possibility that I can actually see the process of you destroying the altar?】
"Uh…"
Jiang Han scratched his head awkwardly, then became even more confident. "What if you saw it? I just look relaxed on the surface. You don't know how nervous I was when I was surrounded by those Immortal-grades!"
"I was almost scared shitless!"
"And the main reason I could get out was thanks to my Little Saint's unique talent skill."
"Unique talent skill, you know? It's the kind of skill that requires a huge price to be paid once it's released. I'm not lying about this. You, a dignified Divine Tree, can't possibly not have come into contact with Myth-grade Beast Tamers, right?"
【Is there another possibility that I am also very clear about the Sacred Kirin's skills?】
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Jiang Han waved his hand righteously. "There's no such coincidence. I think you're just trying to deceive me."
Buzz!
The next moment, space twisted, and the Divine Tree disappeared.
In its place was an unknown battlefield.
Fierce flames burned, and there were corpses of ferocious beasts everywhere. Black aura spread out, and the whole scene was extremely tragic.
And in the sky above the battlefield was an incomparably huge Sacred Kirin, its entire body emitting a gentle light.
A low hum sounded, and fragments of divine radiance scattered.
As the divine radiance fell on the ferocious beasts on the battlefield, their auras instantly soared.
Then, the scene disappeared in an instant.
Jiang Han couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
He saw very clearly that the Sacred Kirin just now was not the one he had encountered, but undoubtedly, the skills should be similar.
The divine radiance falling from the sky was undoubtedly [Sacred Spirit Overture].
This old geezer actually really encountered a Sacred Kirin.
"Okay."
However, Jiang Han still maintained his composure, even becoming more confident. "I originally wanted to interact with you as a weakling, but what I got in return was distrust and doubt."
"I'm not pretending anymore. I'm laying my cards on the table."
"Yes, it's actually not that difficult for me to destroy this altar, but so what?"
"Let's not beat around the bush. Give me benefits, and I'll do it!"
"If you don't give me benefits, I won't do it!"
"Consider it yourself. There won't be another chance like this!"
【…】
This was the third time in thousands of years that the Divine Tree had been speechless.
And coincidentally, these three times of speechlessness were all on the same day, and all because of the same person.
After a while, it seemed to have considered it clearly, and the Divine Tree gave a response.
【The last clue to the Holy Judgment, and also the most important Holy Judgment.】
【Destroy another altar, and I can give it to you.】
Jiang Han pondered for a moment and said, "Well… can't you just get the Holy Judgment item and give it to me directly?"
"To take a step back, even if you can't give me a Holy Judgment item, can't you at least give me some Divine Artifacts?"
Buzz!
A white light flashed.
The Divine Tree couldn't bear it any longer. With a flick of its branches, it sent Jiang Han out of the hall.
Fellow trees, who understands, I've encountered a shrimp-head man!
