Chapter 1186: Chapter 1185: Tree Spirit Bird Man Abigail Dodson

Atop the giant tree was a bird nest nearly as large as a house, and the tree itself was a peculiar sight, somewhat reminiscent of the Chinese parasol trees Yusuf Zuck had seen before, except those were tiny compared to this one that truly touched the sky!

The titanic tree, the massive nest, the dark hole at the treetop—these three aspects alone made everything seem incredibly bizarre.

As Yusuf Zuck and Piel, along with his clone, carefully made their way over, they were astonished to find a single flower underneath the giant tree, a pink color, and the bloom was even larger than a cauldron!

Yusuf Zuck and Piel stopped in their tracks, struck by the oddity of the flower, the tree, and the nest, which were all growing under the dark hole at the top of the tree.

To say there was no reason behind it was something Yusuf Zuck couldn’t believe, so he took extreme caution.

Unfortunately, this was a place where Divine Sense could not be utilized, thus he couldn’t probe the tree, flower, or nest with his Divine Sense.

"It kind of resembles a peony, huh? Just... much larger and quite fragrant!" Piel suddenly took a deep breath and remarked.

"Peony?" Yusuf Zuck nodded, "It indeed looks very similar to the peony, the King of Flowers."

"King of Flowers?" As Yusuf Zuck spoke, he suddenly paused, then his eyes flashed with realization.

Peonies are the King of Flowers, and aren’t Chinese parasol trees considered the king among trees? Yusuf Zuck remembered reading an article stating that the peony was the King of Flowers and the Chinese parasol was the king of trees!

Now with a flower resembling a peony and a tree resembling a Chinese parasol, both standing singularly here and both of such large size, the situation became even more questionable.

"No, that’s not right, there’s also a bird nest on the tree. What’s the King of Birds?" Yusuf Zuck abruptly looked up, towards the nest, and just then noticed that a bird had appeared inside it, poking its head out and watching him with a pair of icy, soul-shaking eyes!

Just one glance into those bird eyes and Yusuf Zuck almost lost his composure, feeling his soul quiver for an instant.

"Ah! Ahhhhhhh!" Suddenly, as Yusuf Zuck felt his hairs stand on end, Piel began to clutch his head and scream sharply while blood spurted from his seven orifices.

He too had looked up and seen the bird’s eyes, causing his soul to be injured!

Yusuf Zuck quickly grabbed Piel and retreated about twenty meters before stopping, crouching beside Piel, and asking, "How are you?"

"I feel like my soul is tearing apart, master, I’m going to die..." Piel’s eyes were rolled back, his pupils rapidly dilating, and Yusuf Zuck even faintly sensed that Piel’s life was slipping away, and his soul was withering.

This was the result of just one glance, and Piel was on the brink of death!

Yusuf Zuck’s face turned icy, and after grabbing Piel’s mouth, a drop of Essence Dew was administered to him.

Essence Dew, an upgraded version of Purple Droplet and the Dew of Merits, was powerful and capable of mending the soul.

Indeed, as soon as the Essence Dew was ingested, Piel stopped shouting, and the ebbing life, the desiccating soul, seemed to regain vigor anew!

"Ssssssshhh..."

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

As Piel showed signs of improvement, the mighty Chinese parasol tree, the King of Trees, began to sway without a breeze, the King of Flowers, the peony, stirred and emitted a strange fragrance, and the bird in the nest’s head dazzled ceaselessly with brilliance!

With a "hum", as Yusuf Zuck tensely watched the tree, the flower, and the bird, in an instant, the Chinese parasol shook, the peony shimmered, and a head peeked out from the bird’s nest, followed by the appearance of three people.

One emerged from the tree, another was transformed from the peony, and the last one transformed from the bird!

Two men and a woman, the Tree Spirit clad in green like a middle-aged scholar, the Bird Man wearing a Golden Crown, with eyes sparkling like lightning.

The woman’s skirt fluttered as if she were a fairy among the flowers.

Three people, two men and a woman, came over and stood still five meters away from him!

Yusuf Zuck and Peter, though they had braved many storms, felt their hearts drumming and their bodies tense at this moment.

Tree Spirit, Bird Man, Flower Fairy!

"Was that the Essence Dew you just fed him?" the middle-aged scholar-like Tree Spirit asked Yusuf Zuck with a slight bow.

Yusuf Zuck was taken aback; this Tree Spirit was something else, with extraordinary discernment!

"I have offended earlier; my apologies!" said the Bird Man with penetrating eyes as he gave a fist-and-palm salute.

"Since the young master possesses Essence Dew, he must also be a person of merit. Furthermore, with the young master having condensed a seed of the Way, he is truly not an ordinary person. I, Abigail Dodson, have the pleasure of meeting the young master!" said the Flower Fairy as she bowed to Yusuf Zuck.

Yusuf Zuck and Peter immediately returned the courtesy. How could they bother with the incident just a moment ago? These three creatures were probably powerfully beyond measure!

"I am Yusuf Zuck, juniors to the three seniors. This is my friend, Peter," Yusuf said hurriedly, introducing himself, though he did not introduce his avatar.

"Hm, why have you come here?" asked the Tree Spirit with a smile and nod.

"Why have I come?" Yusuf was startled for a moment. He truly had no definitive goal, but then it occurred to him that his purpose here was nothing more than treasure searching and seeking wonders. So, he replied, "I have many enemies who want to come here for fortune, so I came ahead to snatch away their opportunity!"

"Ha ha ha," upon hearing Yusuf’s answer, the three burst into hearty laughter, continually nodding. Indeed, those who came here were seeking fortune; if someone said they came just for leisure, they would never believe it.

"Within the Main God Palace, indeed lies endless fortune. Since you are different from the others, maybe you can receive the corresponding legacy within the Main God Palace!" declared Abigail Dodson.

"Main God Palace?" Yusuf was startled again. He only knew this place was a divine tomb and had no knowledge of something called the Main God Palace.

"Well, since the young master is a person of merit, we three wish that you may find fortune. Please enter the second level, we will let you pass!" said the Bird Man, flicking his finger and creating a shadowy stairway that extended upwards to the black hole!

"Three seniors, please wait, I still have some questions to ask!" Yusuf did not want to miss this opportunity. The three had been very friendly and had not seized his Essence Dew, so he had to gain more understanding about this Main God Palace while he had the chance.

"What is your question?" asked the Bird Man.

"How many levels are there in the Main God Palace? And what is the next level like?" Yusuf hurried to ask.

"You dare to come here without even knowing how many levels the Main God Palace has?" The Flower Fairy and the Tree Spirit were speechless, while the Bird Man chuckled and replied, "Precisely speaking, there are ten levels. However, no one but our lord can enter the tenth level, so effectively there are only nine."

"And the next level is more dangerous than this one, for it is the Stone Man Array, where the Stone Men are without brains."

"Of course, considering you have the seed of the Way as well as Essence Dew, you should at least be able to reach the fourth level. As for whether you can access further levels, that depends on whether or not you have destiny with the Main God Palace!"

"And which level is this?" Yusuf asked in confusion.

"Obviously, it’s the first level," the Bird Man countered. "Do you have any other questions?"

"Then may I inquire, what treasures are to be found on this first level and the next?"

"Heh, in this first level, there are some Spirit Stones, and beneath the earth lies all manner of exotic treasures. Right, there’s also a Magic Treasure buried by our lord and personally crafted. As for the location of the Magic Treasure, we cannot say, as it is destined for those with fate to find it. Of course, danger lies everywhere!" said the Bird Man. As he spoke, he suddenly frowned. "Someone is coming. You may choose to stay or to proceed. However, once you choose to stay, to go to the next level later on, you will have to do so just like everyone else—we will no longer safeguard you!"

"Thank you, seniors. We will go ahead!" Yusuf did not want any treasures; he was now only interested in finding some exotic treasures, and since this was the first level, surely the exotic treasures wouldn’t be that many. So it was better to move on to the next level!

He, along with Peter and his avatar, ascended the staircase and then entered into the black hole.

And just as he entered the black hole, the Tree Spirit, Bird Man, and Flower Fairy suddenly turned into three streams of vital essence returning to their places, and the three also began to communicate using their Divine Consciousness.
