Chapter 259 The Golden Ancient Tree 2.
After Wang Xiaofei summoned Zhilin Douluo, Zhilin Douluo arrived shortly afterward.
"Zhilin Douluo, could you please dig up all the medicinal herbs planted in the central area of the academy? I need to use this land for something." Zhilin Douluo seemed somewhat hesitant: "Dean Wang, the academy has various rare and priceless plants. If we rashly dig them up, we might suffer huge losses."
"This loss is nothing. I have important matters to attend to."
Upon hearing this, Zhilin Douluo immediately nodded and left. Even Wang Xiaofei considered it important; it must be something beyond his imagination, likely affecting the entire academy's development.
Immediately afterward, all the teachers and students of the Plant Department mobilized, working through the night to clean up the central area of the Elemental Academy. All the medicinal herbs were dug up, and the land was even cleared.
The next day, under the watchful eyes of all the academy's leaders, Wang Xiaofei arrived at the central area of the Elemental Academy.
He casually dug a large pit in the center and took out two items from his person.
The first item was a piece of Life Gold weighing over a hundred kilograms. This Heart of the Forest was obtained from the Silver Dragon King when the isolation wall was built in the Star Dou Great Forest. It had remained unused until now, when planting the Golden Ancient Tree, so it was put to use.
Wang Xiaofei placed the Life Gold underground in the center of the Elemental Academy.
Next, he used another item: the Golden Ancient Tree seed he had obtained from the Silver Dragon King.
After the Golden Ancient Tree seed was planted, the entire Elemental Academy seemed to undergo a dramatic change, with a powerful life force filling the air.
Wang Xiaofei then focused all his attention on the Golden Ancient Tree seed.
After being planted, the seed seemed to rapidly absorb nutrients from the soil and gradually grow larger.
This growth process was very strange, as if the entire Douluo Star itself was growing.
Time passed quickly, and ten years went by in an instant.
During these ten years, Wang Xiaofei sat motionless in the center of the Elemental Academy, ignoring everything else, his entire mind and soul immersed in the Golden Ancient Tree seed.
This seed seemed to be a metamorphosis of life itself. From its very beginning, it absorbed nutrients from its surroundings, slowly taking root and sprouting, eventually growing from the soil as a small golden sapling.
But after countless infusions of nutrients, even the primordial power of Douluo Star, and with Wang Xiaofei pouring countless divine powers into the Golden Ancient Tree, the sapling grew rapidly, transforming into a towering tree in just ten years.
The Golden Ancient Tree's growth, from a seed to a towering tree, was a miracle of life, a metamorphosis.
Wang Xiaofei carefully sensed every step of its growth and transformation.
During this process, Wang Xiaofei's soul also seemed to be gradually changing, sensing the changes in life force through the growth of the Golden Ancient Tree, and feeling the power of destruction through the Asura Divine Power and the Asura Artifact.
Wang Xiaofei's divine power surged once more, seemingly approaching another critical point. According to his own estimation, he had reached the peak of level 149, but breaking through to level 150 appeared extremely difficult.
He believed that both Douluo Star and the Golden Ancient Tree had reached a bottleneck, preventing him from surpassing the final level. This final level was the most difficult; only by truly overcoming it could Wang Xiaofei become a true God King, perhaps even stronger.
During these ten years, many things had happened.
After Tang San returned to the God Realm with his parents, he was immediately questioned by the other four God Kings. As an Asura God, Tang San was only at level 120, his strength far too low. Let alone a God King, even an ordinary first-level god was much stronger than him, and some were even weaker than second-level gods.
Now, he's gone to Douluo Star to steal, and even got caught! It's a disgrace to the great God-Kings of the God Realm. If it weren't for the fact that godhood couldn't be transferred, they would have voted to abolish Tang San's Asura Godhood.
Now, Tang San's soul power level is insufficient, and he's lost his divine artifact; he seems to have become a laughingstock throughout the entire God Realm. Although the gods still bow and greet him with smiles, it seems there's more sarcasm than anything else. It's unclear which God-King publicized Tang San's deeds, but now all the gods in the God Realm know what he's done. Some gods who previously respected Tang San seem to have gradually lost that respect, and quite a few even dare to openly oppose him, completely disregarding him.
The result of all this is that although Tang San remains an enforcer of the divine realm and still holds the supreme god-king position, he has no credibility within the divine realm. Some gods even break the law to his face, but as soon as Tang San adopts the airs of the Asura God and the enforcer of the divine realm, he is immediately refuted, and the rebuttals are mostly about Tang San's own violations.
One can imagine how miserable the fate of an enforcer without any credibility can be.
Furthermore, some gods who previously agreed with Tang San to have their godhood passed on through his introduction seem to have changed their minds. After all, they are gods of the divine realm, and they all have their own pride. What if Tang San introduces someone with a similar personality to himself to inherit the godhood? Wouldn't that be incredibly humiliating?
As a result, now all the gods avoid Tang San like the plague, as if they are afraid of being associated with him.
Furthermore, now all the gods are hiding their treasures very carefully after seeing Tang San, fearing he might steal them. If Tang San steals them, they will lose their treasures and have no recourse, since Tang San was caught stealing last time without any punishment.
Even if they aren't stolen, it's still incredibly frustrating, creating unnecessary enmity with Tang San.
In short, the Asura God Tang San is facing a difficult situation in the God Realm. This trip to Douluo Star not only failed to find allies but also cost him his life.
Another point is Tang Hao and Ah Yin. They originally planned to happily return to Douluo Star, but were suddenly sent back to the God Realm, leaving them speechless.
After this incident, their son's authority has been greatly challenged, and the two of them are less inclined to interact with others in the God Realm. After all, they are gods and don't like living at the mercy of others. After this incident, Tang San seems to hate Wang Xiaofei even more, almost to the point of no return. Unfortunately, Tang San is still far from being able to defeat Wang Xiaofei.
