Chapter 860: A Vote?
Based on Tang San's judgment, the Ancestral Tree was likely the latter case. Its cultivation had probably reached the peak of this plane, and when it attempted to ascend to a higher level, it didn't exactly fail, but it didn't completely succeed either. In the end, it merged with heaven and earth; its physical body remained behind like a husk devoid of spirit, while its divine consciousness became part of Falan Planet—or rather, part of the planar ruler. Only in this way could it have left behind such a high-level life essence.
What a pity! But then again, its chances of successfully evolving had been abysmally low to begin with. The Falan Planet as a plane was simply too powerful. Such a strong plane could not give rise to a divine seat just like that, meaning that any being strong enough to qualify for one could only end up assimilating into the world. This was undoubtedly a tragic fate for a powerful entity like the Ancestral Tree.
While Tang San was pondering, figures shot over rapidly from a distance, moving toward the colossal Blue Gold Tree.
When they arrived beneath the Blue Gold Tree and saw the gloomy-faced Grand Elder and Tang San with eight sharp spikes extending from his back, their expressions changed.
Who is this person? Eight spikes... A Great Nymph King?!
Currently, there were only three individuals at that level within the entire Blue Gold Tree clan: the top three elders. It was only natural for them to be shocked.
Tang San withdrew his divine consciousness and quietly observed these Blue Gold Tree elders.
The number of elders in the Blue Gold Tree clan far exceeded his expectations—there were over forty of them! Aside from the Grand Elder, two others also had eight spikes on their backs, their auras heavy and only slightly weaker than the Grand Elder's. These were clearly the highest-ranking elders.
In other words, the Blue Gold Tree clan had over forty tenth-order Nymph Kings. This number was more than double that of the Peacock Demon clan! No wonder they could still control a main city without an Emperor. This was directly related to their immense strength.
As so many tenth-order powerhouses of the Blue Gold Tree clan gathered beneath the Ancient Tree, the pure life energy in the air became so thick it felt almost tangible. In such a dense concentration of life energy, ordinary beings would not live for long; they would fail to process the sheer amount of life energy and end up bursting to death.
On the complete opposite end of the spectrum, Tang San could clearly feel his life force undergoing a transformation. He wanted to maintain this state forever! The feeling was truly wonderful.
He had reached the eleventh order, and although he was still at the early stage, his combat strength undoubtedly made him one of the strongest, if not the absolute strongest, eleventh-order being in this plane. However, the road to regaining the God King power from his previous life was still long, and in this plane, it was downright impossible. To do so, he would have to transcend this plane, and when that time came, he would face his most difficult trial yet. Returning to the God King level was no simple matter.
