Chapter 21: I Want It All
"Is there really going to be a war?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Chuan immediately smiled and looked at the Locust Mother Demon with disdain. "This is the prey my primordial ancient serpent is after. If you want to take it, that's impossible. If you want to fight, then come at me!"
He had grown strong enough to the point where he wasn't afraid of any battle. Even though the Locust Mother Demon was powerful, it posed no real threat to him.
Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from Gu Chuan, the Locust Mother Demon grew solemn. To be honest, if this demon in front of her had been even a little weaker, she wouldn't have hesitated to tear him apart. However, sensing that this demon was nearly as strong as herself, she felt a sense of jealousy and caution, choosing not to act recklessly.
Still, she could not afford to back down. She needed the World Tree—this was crucial to her path of enlightenment. If she let this opportunity slip by, she knew she might never get another chance.
"Old Primordial Serpent, I respect you as a strong being. How about we share the World Tree? Half for you, half for me. This is my final offer." The Locust Mother Demon thought for a moment, feeling that this compromise would be sufficient. With half of the World Tree, she could grow stronger on her own.
And once her strength increased, killing this primordial ancient serpent and consuming the other half of the World Tree's origin would bring her even greater power.
The World Tree, however, felt deeply aggrieved. It couldn't believe that it had become the prey of these two chaos demon gods, being fought over as if it were a mere object to be divided.
Honestly, if it weren't for its serious injuries, it would have hammered these two bastards into the ground. But now, it could only endure. It would be best if the two demons killed each other. Perhaps then, it could take the opportunity to eliminate these two covetous chaos demon gods.
