"So that's the price..."
he murmured softly.
The Heavenly Law Seed had produced an incredible reward...

Nor did he understand why it had merged with him.
But one thing had become increasingly clear.
His fate and the fate of this divine tree were now intertwined.
If it perished...
he doubted he would escape the consequences.
The silence around him became unusually heavy.
