Chapter 905: Communication
"Thank you for your encouragement, Your Majesty, but I feel that I'm still far from becoming an Emperor. Achieving that might be..."
The Sunborne Nymph Emperor said, "We will give you support in this regard, as I am sure will the Ancestral Tree. Our Solstice Empire needs an Emperor like you. Only by becoming an Emperor can you properly harness the power of life energy and make truly great contributions to our country."
Tang San's heart stirred as he realized something and quickly replied, "If the day comes when I do become an Emperor, I will never forget Your Majesty's kindness. Whatever you need, I will give my all."
The Sunborne Nymph Emperor stood up, walked over to Tang San, patted him on the shoulder, and then moved to the window, turning his back to Tang San. "You are aware of the recent fall of the Crystal Demon Emperor, aren't you?"
"Yes," Tang San also stood up and turned to face him.
The Sunborne Nymph Emperor sighed. "At our age, most of our concerns revolve around our lifespan. In this regard, we plant-based beings have an advantage. The Crystal Demon Emperor had many fortuitous encounters, and only because of that was she able to live over three thousand years. Every Emperor craves life energy, and your Blue Gold Tree clan possesses the purest form of it. This is why your clan has faced so much oppression. Even if you become an Emperor in the future, it will be difficult to fully protect your people. Do you have any plans for that?"
Tang San nodded and replied, "I do have some thoughts. I believe that it's actually better to go with the flow rather than resist it. If people want us to give them life energy, then... I am thinking of giving them life energy. My own purpose in coming to the Ancestral Court, apart from undergoing evaluation, is to have this matter discussed. In practical terms, I want my clan members to go to all main cities of the continent, establish bases there, and provide life energy for the cities. Of course, our Solstice Empire will take priority."
The Sunborne Nymph Emperor turned sharply, his eyes blazing as he stared at Tang San. "That's a bold idea. Tell me more."
Tang San spoke solemnly, "I'm fully aware of the issues facing our Blue Gold Tree clan—problems even the Ancestral Tree couldn't solve in the past. With the Ancestral Tree's revival, we are able to gather life energy more efficiently and we have life-bestowing abilities. Our people, especially those at the Nymph King level and above, possess a remarkable ability to concentrate life energy. If a major city has one of our gods stationed there, they could gather the surrounding life energy into the city, benefiting all the city's inhabitants.
"The stronger our people are, the more vast and powerful the life energy they can gather, potentially even drawing the plane's primal life energy to elevate the life levels of those who absorb it. Of course, this is not entirely selfless; this life energy will also enhance our cultivation. I brought thirty-six elders with me, each of whom possesses this ability. Main cities could easily have multiple elders stationed there, leading to even more concentrated life energy."
The Sunborne Nymph Emperor pondered aloud, "Your idea is quite interesting. But, as you said, your clan is like a treasure trove of natural resources in itself, so ensuring safety would be a problem. And if your Nymph Kings all leave, then what about Skytree City? What position would your clan hold in the future?"
