Li Yi looked at the human-face tree before him without acting rashly. Instead, he attempted to communicate with it to determine its attitude and level of intelligence. If it had malicious intent, he wouldn't hesitate to use golden flames to burn the tree down.
"Do not be afraid, my bloodline descendant, I will not harm you," said the human face on the tree trunk once more.
Li Yi asked, "Who are you?"
"I am your ancestor, a divine being. However, I have been dead for so long that my remaining will wandered this valley, sometimes angry, sometimes sorrowful, sometimes regretful... It wasn't until this strange fruit tree gathered my remaining will that I regained clarity," said the face on the tree trunk.
Li Yi thought to himself, as expected.
The golden apple tree had absorbed too much divine power, causing the remaining consciousness of this divine being to awaken.
