Attempting to persuade the Monsters as a member of the Sea Clan was not without its risks. The White Tiger Great Demon Emperor was familiar with him and thus more likely to offer support, but it was difficult to say the same for the other Emperors. His original plan involved persuading the Monsters, so that he and Pretty Girl could ascend to Emperor together. After all, the Crystal Great Demon Emperor was so powerful that, theoretically, the absence of her might allow for the rise of two new Emperors. And once he became an Emperor, then everything else would cease to be an issue.

But the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox controlled Luck, and under these circumstances, gaining his approval seemed immensely unlikely. But what if it wasn’t with the Monsters? What if it was with the Spirit Monsters of the Rihchen Empire?

Even the Elders of the Blue Golden Tree Clan could not see through his current disguise. If, during his Ascension to Emperor, he did so under the guise of a member of the Blue Golden Tree Clan, as a Spirit Monster, wouldn’t the likelihood of being recognized as the Heavenly Spirit Emperor by them increase dramatically? After all, the Tree Ancestor’s influence on the Demon Monster Land was as profound as nurturing all creatures. Wasn’t every one of those Emperors, like the Tianyang Spirit King, the Earth Yin Spirit King, and the Soul-Stealing Spirit King, from the Plant-class?

Thinking this, a faint smile couldn’t help but spread across the corners of Tang San’s mouth.

As the Blue Golden Tree Clan Elders were worshiping the Tree Ancestor’s true form, gradually, all the clansmen of the Blue Golden Tree Clan also began to feel the changes in the Tree Ancestor.

Normally, they were not entitled to come into contact with the Tree Ancestor, but at the moment, they could clearly sense the changes in its vast form and the intensity of the life force it was releasing. How could such a transformation not fill them with excitement?

...

For the Elders, there was a rise in life rank, and for the lower-level members of the Blue Golden Tree Clan, the elevation was even more significant.

In a short time, the entire Blue Golden Tree Clan experienced an upgrade as if all citizens were leveling up, gaining tremendous benefits from the life essence of the Tree Ancestor’s body.

This is the inner city. The same was true for the outer city. The Tree Ancestor’s Life Aura enveloped the entire Jianmu City in a rich life force. Every Spirit Monster in Jianmu City, regardless of their race, could feel the nourishment of this dense life force.

The entire Jianmu City went into a frenzy. Spirit Monsters poured onto the streets, heading towards the direction of the inner city, kneeling down across the city moat towards the Tree Ancestor’s true form, expressing their gratitude to the radiance of the Tree Ancestor. Even if they couldn’t see the Tree Clan’s actual body, they could see the incredibly dense life light within the inner city. The green halo was almost soaring into the sky, turning all of Jianmu City into a wellspring of life.

All the vegetation within Jianmu City was growing wildly, experiencing not just a change in size but also an evolution in life rank.

If the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox were here, he would surely sense the transformation in Jianmu City’s Luck, which was rapidly ascending.

On the first day of such events, the entire Jianmu City was stirred; by the second day, the surrounding villages and towns were also alert. Numerous Spirit Monsters quickly made their way toward Jianmu City for a sacred pilgrimage!

When the third day arrived, a figure flickered with golden light approached from afar, hovering tens of kilometers above Jianmu City, gazing down in the direction of the city.

This was a tall man covered in armor that shined with golden light. The armor had ridge lines, not forged from metal, but condensed from clear and sparkling diamonds. His body exuded an incredibly powerful aura.

Without a doubt, this was an Emperor, an existence standing at the very pinnacle of the hierarchy in Demon Monster Land. But at this very moment, his face revealed an uncertain and perplexed expression.

He was very familiar with Jianmu City, having visited more than once. However, at this moment, Jianmu City as he knew it had vanished. Not vanished in the sense of being obliterated, but entirely enveloped by vegetation. The massive vegetation completely concealed the entire city from view, forming an endless green sea when seen from above. What could be felt was also that rich and extreme concentration of life force.

The Emperor witnessing this anomaly was naturally one of the Seven Tianjing Emperors of the Rihchen Empire, known as the invincible Diamond Elf King.

Renowned for his defensive power and also possessing extremely formidable combat abilities, the Diamond Elf King’s territory, Diamond City, was the closest main city to Jianmu City. The Diamond Elf King had always had his hand in matters concerning Jianmu City. The Blue Golden Tree Clan was too docile and timid, and Diamond City had never taken it easy on Jianmu City, always obtaining valuable things from it. Although the Diamond Elf King himself was an essence evolved from diamond before eventually becoming an Emperor, he, like all beings formed from stone, also yearned for life force.

The life force was most abundant in Jianmu City. To obtain a member of the Blue Golden Tree Clan, to plant them quietly, or even to manipulate its body in some way, would result in an incredibly vast amount of life force to be gained. Virtually every race among the Spirit Monster Race had made moves against the Blue Golden Tree Clan. The Blue Golden Tree Clan, for their part, could not resist; all they could do was to hide within the inner city and not venture out, giving other races no opportunity. The presence of the Tree Ancestor’s true form in the inner city had prevented the other clans from daring to intrude, which was also why, when Jin Miaolin fled far away, the clansmen believed it was impossible for him to return alive. The appeal of the Blue Golden Tree Clan itself was simply too great.

On the surface, the Blue Golden Tree Clan could not appear in the straightforward auctions of the Rihchen Empire, but in the underground black market, they were traded as the most precious resources.

The Diamond Elf King had even suggested before that the Blue Golden Tree Clan, having not produced an Emperor in many years and sitting on a massive cache of life resources, were unduly hoarding their wealth. This was detrimental to the development of the Rihchen Empire, he argued, recommending that the ownership rights to Jianmu City be stripped from the Blue Golden Tree Clan, and that the Tree Ancestor’s true form be opened up for other races to observe.

The implication of this was obviously profound. Should the Ancestral Court truly agree, it could even spell the annihilation of the Blue Golden Tree Clan.

Fortunately, among the Fairy Emperors, the members of the Plant-class still remembered the contributions of the Tree Ancestor to the entire Spirit Monster Race and did not allow it. However, it can be said that every race coveted the Blue Golden Tree Clan, not excluding even those of the Plant-class. This is the reason for the saying: possession of jade leads to crime.

Thus, when the Diamond Elf King heard that within Jianmu City, home of the Blue Golden Tree Clan, the Tree Ancestor seemed to have undergone some changes, releasing a vast amount of life force, his first reaction was not fear of the Tree Ancestor’s awakening, but excitement. As an Emperor, he was very clear about the status of the Tree Ancestor; the will of the Tree Ancestor had already spread to the entire planet and merged with the heavens and the earth. Under such circumstances, how could the Tree Ancestor possibly return? It was more likely that the Blue Golden Tree Clan side couldn’t control the Tree Ancestor’s true form, causing more life force to escape. Therefore, the Diamond Elf King quickly made his way over, hoping to gain some advantage by being the closest.

However, as he actually observed Jianmu City from the sky and sensed the life energy within the city, he hesitated. The life force emitted by Jianmu City was too vast and of too high of a life rank. Even though he was still distant, he could feel it. Moreover, this surge of life force was not as chaotically dispersed as he had imagined, but rather, it was circulating in an orderly manner, centered on the middle of the city. Even with his Emperor Level divine consciousness, he could vaguely sense that this vast life force was rooting in the ground. The reason for such a high life rank was that it was drawing in the life force from all directions, converging towards Jianmu City. This did not seem like a leakage of the Tree Ancestor’s power, but rather, it felt more like a powerful being awakening, absorbing external life energy.
