Or perhaps it’s the Spirituality absorbed by the Divine Tree?
So the Demons of Hell are desperate to capture humans, is it essentially to compensate for the problems in terms of spirituality?
After all, humans are essentially descendants of the Venerable King, with all humans in the Cosmos influenced towards convergent evolution by the Venerable King, and what is called spirituality is the pursuit of the power from the essence of the Venerable King.
So maybe Xue Dili discovered the true source of power for the Apostles.
But he just quietly asked, "However, my friend told not to use this forbidden power, saying it would make one lose oneself."
"Pfft, indeed, you as a newcor without the prepared fruit will definitely have such issues. When you’ve mastered enough of the fruit, you won’t ask such foolish questions," a taunting voice rang like a little goblin.
But suddenly, Xue Dili’s pupils constricted.
At this mont, it’s as if all the intelligence and information were suddenly connected. Why would the Apostles desperately seek the fruit, why even those early Apostles aspiring to ascend to Tier Six as a True God, which includes the true masters of the Mist Council, treat the fruit as a hard currency for trading.
Furthermore, even with an Apostle’s lifespan, they would for billions of years tirelessly develop more planets in the starry sky, seeking more farms to cultivate Divine Trees...
To grasp the power of authority with human influence, and gradually purify oneself, making oneself closer to the power of the Venerable King...
Until becoming another kind of Venerable King, naly, Tier Six!
This is what the Apostles truly seek?
Xue Dili suddenly felt like his mind underwent a cosmic explosion, countless pieces of information linked and extended into new guesses and intelligence, everything seed to turn into forbidden knowledge being stuffed into his mind.
Just the Divine Tree Fruit, just this fruit...
Would I no longer be troubled by the influence of authority, and would my power progress further?
"Now you realize the importance of the fruit? But now you probably only have one planet, who knows how long it will take to develop a new planet, just wait, everyone goes through this." Number 10 said.
With his brows furrowed, Xue Dili continued to ask: "By the way, what authority do you wield?"
Xue Dili imdiately beca alert, realizing this was also an attempt to extract information, it was undoubtfully a very important intelligence.
Yet he still spoke it out, not his true authority, but power more disguised and half-true.
"Void." Xue Dili quietly uttered this term.
Number 10 seed stunned for a mont, then silently kept a certain distance from Xue Dili.
Was it fear?
But instinctually distanced himself, then approached a bit again, seemingly attempting to cover up the previous fear, or perhaps anger arose from fearing just hearing one term, but compared to before, the distance was still much greater.
Based on this reaction, Xue Dili realized the strength of this authority, despite his real authority not being Void, but a branch nad Self-Destructor.
"Then what authority do you wield?" Xue Dili returned the question.
Number 10 paused briefly, then replied: "Love."
"Hm?" Xue Dili was startled, then believed the statent only halfway, and also, could an Apostle’s authority be sothing like "Love"?
Xue Dili found it unbelievable, a being who feeds on billions of humans, treating everyone as their fertilizer, claiming their authority as Love? If you said you were Seductive, Xue Dili might be more inclined to believe it.
"Now, everyone is here." The master on the main seat said.
Xue Dili then ceased interacting with Number 10 and quietly returned to his position.
"This ti, the topic remains about the feasibility of the ’Flourish Plan,’ feel free to discuss."
However, Xue Dili completely disregarded the "Flourish Plan" he once proposed, he felt he had discovered the essence of the Mist Council and the Apostles.
And also discovered the essence of those Artificial Gods and Demons.
And now, I belong to possessing only the power of Demons, not the power of the Divine Tree...
Having never consud any fruit before, can I truly successfully kill other Apostles?
Xue Dili began organizing his intelligence and thoughts, and during the eting, many Apostles began sharing the changes in their worlds after implenting the Flourish Plan.
As expected, there’s an increasing tendency in population, this plan instead of weakening the Apostles, from a long-term perspective, greatly enhances the power of the Apostles.
After all, with an average population of 5 billion needed to condense one fruit, like the world planted by the Heart Stealer Divine King, with only a few billion population, how many years are needed to cultivate one fruit?
While if it’s on a Super Iron Curtain planet with several tens of billions population, a few decades could roughly cultivate one fruit.
The so-called Flourish Plan is to provide the subordinate humans with better living environnts, so the population can increase significantly, relying solely on deceased populations for power supply to the Divine Tree. Though this reduces speed in the short term, from a long-term view, it’s indeed a good thod.
But actually, waiting for populations to die naturally cos with many accidents, for instance, the deceased populations haven’t been retrieved by the Divine Tree, being consud by Wild Beasts, or dissolved directly by high temperatures, strong acids, or other things, leading to many kinds of accidents causing retrieval failure.
This requires the Divine Tree roots to spread over every corner of the world, requires the Apostles to cultivate the Divine Tree to an extraordinary extent, even then, retrieval efficiency is only about one-tenth.
Yet even at one-tenth efficiency, it typically surpasses continual birthrates on a planet of just a few billion people many tis over.
In fact, the later-sequence Apostles don’t favor this plan much, while those at the forefront, do show great interest, like as the early Apostles start utilizing Xue Dili’s incomprehensible diagrams and formulas to compute the benefits if this plan were realized.
After all, this plan was proposed based on the Super Iron Curtain, when Xue Dili ntioned the Super Iron Curtain’s population of 26 billion, all Apostles montarily paused.
With their calculations, under executing this plan, just needing a sedintation of several centuries of reduced returns, it could bring a cultivation progress of the fruit doubling or quadrupling the previous rate.
Specific benefits are related to the original size and world environnt of the Life Planet underneath, but at the very least, the benefits surely wouldn’t be lower than the current situation.
For them, with extended tilines, this is indeed great news.
And the eting saw the front Apostles constructing societal models, continually computing benefit yields passed within.
Xue Dili the proposer of this plan instead remained silent.
As the eting neared its end, Number 10 suddenly spoke to him: "The authority of Void doesn’t feel good, does it? Need the fruit as an ergency? I can provide lending services, and for now give you a discount, no interest charged."
"No need, I have reserves." Xue Dili promptly declined.
Number 10 clicked his tongue, as if wanting to mock Xue Dili a bit more.
However at this mont the eting concluded, Xue Dili directly left, leaving just a back figure.
Returning to his room, he suddenly discovered Fafnir on his bed.
He did not say much and completely concealed his presence to leave; it’s now around 3 am, sitting quietly staring at the ceiling on the living room sofa.
Should I really attempt using the fruit?
Sothing nurtured using the lives of tens of billions, should I truly use it?
Using authority might twist , then using the power of the Divine Tree Fruit, wouldn’t it twist ?
Xue Dili recalled the appearances of those Apostles, regardless of who they are, none shows any reverence for life, what do they take life for? A number that provides power?
In such a manner, it would be better off being twisted by authority, at least authority is pure and devoid of good or evil.
Xue Dili’s heart isn’t tranquil, this is since grasping power, the first ti he has felt such an abundance of emotions, even emotions that authority cannot suppress.
