Divine Revelation

After the oak tree became level two, the tree's core naturally started producing a different kind of power.

This power was different from the vitality recorded on Ji Yu's data interface. It was an energy that was difficult to quantify.

It was like a person's physical fitness.

The overexertion of this energy would cause the oak tree to experience a fatigue similar to how humans get exhausted.

However, if he were to consume his vitality, he would be able to continue the output of this power.

At this moment, the standoff between Adam and the Purple Moon became a type of energy confrontation.

However, in terms of consumption, it was not too high because this energy was sustained only at the tree crown and did not extend too much.

However, after maintaining it for nearly an hour, Adam still felt tired.

The feeling of his body gradually emptying wasn't a good sign, but he had no other choice at this moment. After all, there was no need to doubt the Purple Moon's potency and resistance was necessary.

Once dawn arrived, everything would end.

That was what Adam thought when he calculated the consumption.

With the current confrontation, Adam felt that his limit was another three hours before he reached the stage of exhausting his vitality.

In the rainforest, dawn would come quickly at around 6.00 am.

It was already 5.10 am, so this confrontation was not going to last for too long.

However, just as Adam was calculating the consumption of energy in his body, a loud noise from the rainforest caught his attention.

Under this mysterious and quiet Purple Moon, the nearby rainforest had always been quiet. However, at this moment, a large number of leaves being rustled by something in the distance was especially eye-catching.

Something was coming. And there were a lot of them.

Adam had a bad feeling.

The rainforest was dense and Adam had no idea what was under the trees. However, for something to operate on such a large-scale under the Purple Moon meant that it was definitely something caused by animals contaminated by its radiation.

With a cautious attitude, Adam immediately made two preparations.

First, to attack immediately when the unknown creatures appear. There must be no hesitation.

Second, to contact father immediately if he found himself in a situation where he can't handle it.

Adam didn't contact Ji Yu immediately because he didn't want to disturb his father and disappoint him.

Adam was like an older child who was eager to perform well for recognition.

Although his character was mature and prudent, it did not mean that he did not have any desires.

Adam desired to perform well and get his father's approval.

But Adam knew the difference between his desire to do well and being conceited.

And it was precisely because of this that he would take the initiative to contact Ji Yu for help if faced with a situation that he might not be able to resolve.

Once Adam made a decision, he immediately began to make counter-measures.

He needed external help.

Thus, he immediately turned his focus down the tree.

Under the tree.

The tribe elder, Barton, was praying sincerely. He hoped that the sacred tree would give him guidance and respond to his prayers.

Based on the miracles that the sacred tree produced today, he felt that it definitely had a spirit.

The sacred tree also took care of his tribe.

Otherwise, after the growth of the sacred tree which caused the other guardian trees to topple, it would not be so careful to use its roots to restore them to their original state.

'Its' slight actions must be because of 'its' concern for the safety of 'its' believers. At the same time, 'it' was instilling 'its' believers confidence so that they would know to not be afraid of the various mysterious sights which 'it' had previously created.

As for why the sacred tree never responded to him, was Barton's faith perhaps not strong enough?

Or perhaps the sacred tree just felt that there was no need to establish connections with mere mortals like them.

In short, the more Barton thought about it, the more he felt that he should be working harder to pray and show his devotion.

Because this had always been his belief and dream.

He dreamed of entering the divine kingdom after his death. Even if he could not enter the divine kingdom and was reincarnated into flowers and trees that served the sacred tree, it would have been what he wanted.

He sought after the elevation of his soul, the transcendence beyond the mortal world, for true redemption; which was why he became a devout believer to serve the gods.

Humans always had their own desires, and belief in gods was also a type of manifestation of their desires.

Barton was obviously qualified as a devout believer.

And it was precisely because of this mentality that he could become the ritual chief of this tribe.

Right now, he prayed and prayed…

He did not carry much hope that the sacred tree would respond.

However, reality loved to jest.

Under the shade of the oak tree, Barton had been silently praying.

However, just as he was about to kneel down and kowtow to the ground, he suddenly trembled. His entire body froze.

No one beside or behind him noticed his abnormal action.

The entire process lasted for nearly a minute.

After that, Barton suddenly stood up shakily under the astonished gazes of the surrounding elders.

Tears of excitement rolled down his wrinkled face.

"I… the sacred tree has responded to me. A divine revelation! 'It' has spoken! Quickly, go and call Simon over. Danger is imminent! Be fast!"

He was incredibly excited and exuberant but it was accompanied with a tinge of fear.

At this moment, Barton recalled the contents of the divine revelation and hurriedly shouted to the people around him.

"What? Divine revelation?"

"Elder Barton actually received an enlightenment from the gods?"

"Oh my gosh, it was actually a divine revelation. The sacred tree has finally responded to us."

"Quick! Quick! Why are you still standing there? Call tribe leader Simon over!" The few elders beside Barton came back to their senses and immediately shouted excitedly to the surrounding tribesmen who were still in a daze.

These old men were also quite excited about the divine revelation that Barton had mentioned. However, they immediately became worried about the so-called danger within the revelation.

Looking at the tribespeople who were already running towards Barton, these elders looked at Barton with both excitement and worry.

Barton didn't wait for Simon to come over. Instead, he immediately said to the people around him anxiously,

"Be fast. Parson immediately bring a group of our tribesmen to the warehouse on the left of the gravel path to take out all the firearms which Simon had brought with him earlier. The others are to prepare themselves. The monsters are about to arrive."

"Monsters?"

The muscular man named Parson was stunned for a moment before his expression changed drastically.

"Alright, Elder Barton, we will go right away."

"Come, everyone follow me and get their weapons!"

Parson called out. Hundred or so men instantly ran towards the nearby tribe's warehouse, unafraid of the purple moonlight.

Their expressions were extremely anxious, and they didn't question Barton or the divine revelation.

Seeing the tribesmen run towards the warehouse, the tribesmen who stayed behind were already in a turmoil.

There was panic, confusion and slight disbelief.

However, no matter what attitude these tribesmen had, they could only wait for the situation to happen.

After all, they did not have many choices under the Purple Moon. They could not abandon their sacred tree and land.
