Chapter 1122 Grand Humanoid Evil Tree
Chapter 1122 Grand Humanoid Evil Tree
"Mister Ricky, how much do you know about human devils?" Queenie asked as a smile tempered the
steel in her voice. She hadn't fully let her guard down, but after Ricky calmed himself down, she also
stopped acting as threatening as before.
"I heard that there are living creatures called human devils in this world. That's all I know," answered
Ricky. A resentful sneer dimmed the smile on Queenie's face when she heard his answer.
"You are right. We, human devils, are all low-level creatures to both creatures born on the continent
and creatures of devil race. A genius like you, Mister Ricky, will never be interested in knowing that,"
she remarked indignantly.
However, despite the resentment that her words held, Ricky could tell that she felt helpless and
indignant toward the situation as well.
'I guess the situation of human devils is not as good as I previously thought, ' reflected Ricky. Although
honestly, he never gave much thought to human devils at all. But after hearing what Queenie said, he
now understood why she felt that way. Unfortunately, he didn't have time to dwell on other people's
problems, as he also had issues of his own.
At that moment, he still had a lot of problems that he needed to solve.
"I don't know about other people, but I never look down upon anyone or any race," Ricky told Queenie
sincerely. "Even if they are my enemies, I will not judge them based on their bloodline and background.
If I consider them my enemies, then it is because of their actions and not for anything else," he
continued.
"I see that you are quite open-minded, Mister Ricky," responded Queenie, as one of her eyebrows lifted
in disbelief. She had a hard time believing him, as life had taught her the opposite.
Since she was a child, she had learned never to believe anyone else except human devils. Otherwise,
she would get hurt.
"We, human devils, have been trying our best to survive in this world over the past years. We have to
deal with all the creatures born on the continent and creatures of devil race, and that is not an easy
thing to do. I am sure you know that," stated Queenie.
She paused for a short while, reminiscing the hardships that she had faced in the past. And as Ricky
looked at her in the eyes, he too could sense the difficulties she had suffered.
"Judging from your situation, I can only guess how hard it must have been, but I'm sure it is a hundred
times harder than I can imagine," Ricky responded somberly, as he was aware of the delicacy of their
topic, and he didn't want to say something insensitive.
"To be honest, we are truly grateful to all the creatures born on the continent, for many of you are just
and kind. Their kind hearts are the reason that human devils have survived there until this day," added
Queenie.
Then, she paused and studied Ricky. She had to take the time and breathe, for her words, at that
moment, weighed heavily on her soul.
"However, in this world where the weak would fall prey to the strong, strength is the only thing that
matters. And the most important reason that human devils have gotten to where they are today is
mostly because of our strength," she continued.
Ricky nodded along and chimed in, "I agree with you there. In this world, strength is the only thing that
talks. Trust and friendship between friends can carry you through the distance, but there is always a big
chance that those who call themselves friends are not honest with each other. If you are dishonest to
your friends, then what is the difference between friends and enemies? It is hypocritical to say that you
are friends and then betray each other at the first chance you get."
Queenie listened to all these quietly, surprise widening her eyes. "You impress me. I wasn't aware that
you thought that way," said Queenie.
She could not stop the small smile that found its way to her lips, and she nodded with a satisfied air at
Ricky.
"Thanks for your appreciation," he answered at once with a vague amusement in his voice. "Our
ancestors have been protecting and developing the ancestral land of our people for countless years to
strengthen us.
This land seized the essence of heaven and earth, with the power of the sun and moon, to cast the
grand humanoid evil tree," explained Queenie. A small gasp escaped Ricky, as he waited for her to
elaborate. In the end, he could not help but ask, "Grand humanoid evil tree? What is that?" "For us
human devils, it is a holy tree," she readily answered.
"The grand humanoid evil tree has two kinds of powers, and both of these are sacred and ancient. It
holds an evil spirit and the continent spirit. Once a human devil manages to obtain a grand humanoid
evil tree, he can become sacred by absorbing the power of the tree," explained Queenie.
"You mean, just one tree could make a human devil sacred? That's amazing," exclaimed Ricky,
sounding awed and pleasantly surprised.
"That's for sure. As I mentioned, this ancestral land was developed by our numerous predecessors in
the past, and it had cost countless years to be created. It only exists in the void, and only a human
devil's direct descendants can enter it.
Then do you know why they cast this land in the void? Make a guess," said Queenie.
"I have a theory about it, so correct me if I am wrong. Your ancestors were afraid that human devils
might be destroyed, so they built this land where your race could be reborn. After all, a human devil's
identity is very sensitive. If the creatures on the continent don't trust them, they will be killed, and your
race might die out," Ricky assumed.
"You are right. That's it!" Queenie nodded at once, surprised at Ricky's vast insight.
"So, you want me to help you to go to your ancestral land and find the grand humanoid evil tree?"
Ricky asked.
"Yes, that's exactly what I want from you," she answered, still nodding enthusiastically.
"I don't understand. Why are you asking someone from another force to help you enter your ancestral
land?" Ricky asked doubtfully.
"That is because of the ancestor's rule. Our ancestral land produces the purest aura in the continent,
and that means that there must be a lot of Treasures from Heaven and Earth, which are very suitable
for the creatures on the continent to cultivate.
We are allowed to come with someone from another race because we also want to build better
relationships with the great forces in the continent," Queenie explained lengthily.
"Got it. Your ancestor wants human devils to enter the ancestral land with the geniuses from other
powerful forces every time you open up the land. By doing this, you are promoting camaraderie
between you and those geniuses," Ricky responded. As he spoke, he nodded to himself as if he was
beginning to understand something. Then he continued, "Your ancestors want to do this because the
geniuses of these large forces are the future leaders of their forces, aren't they? Your ancestors wish to
build a better relationship with them, as that will naturally benefit your human devils," he guessed
correctly.
Once again, an impressed smile made its way on Queenie's face. "You are very impressive. You're not
only strong, but you're intelligent as well,"
Queenie praised Ricky. Then she added, "But I hate dealing with the talents from those powerful
forces, as they act so arrogant and impolite in front of us. I don't want to invite anyone from the
continent to enter the land, at least, not anyone like those jerks."
"It seems that you are very prejudiced against creatures from the continent. No wonder you're willing to C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
help the Nether Manor," Ricky remarked as he raised an eyebrow at her in criticism.
"But if you believe these things, then why do you threaten and want me to help you?" he asked further.
"The answer is straightforward. It's because you are an incredible demi-spiritual emperor," answered
Queenie readily.
"When people see an incredible demi-spiritual emperor, they all become jealous, even those geniuses
from the other forces. However, after the first reaction of jealousy, they always end up with either of the
two—kill him or associate with him. Half of them choose the former, while the other half is drawn to him
and wish to entice him to their side," explained Queenie.
"Do you really want to draw me over to your side? I don't think you're drawing me at all, Queenie. As
far as I'm concerned, you've chosen a third choice, which is to use me and hunt me down afterwards,"
Ricky responded with a smile.
Well, he was right, to an extent. Indeed, Queenie had chosen a third option, which was to force Ricky
to yield to her.
Of course, it was good to have an incredible demi-spiritual emperor of your level by your side.
However, it would be even better if you killed an incredible demi-spiritual emperor of your level, as that
would prove to everyone the extent of your abilities.
Moreover, it would be a greater shock for anyone if one managed to make an incredible demi-spiritual
emperor of the same level surrender.
Queenie desperately wanted to subjugate an incredible demi-spiritual emperor from the continent and
make him yield to her. In that way, she could avenge her race for the difficulties they had suffered in the
past, and it could also be the perfect venue to show off her power to other forces.
"I never use benefits to draw people to my side. I use my own way, just like what I am doing now. So, I
hope you don't mind," Queenie casually mentioned as if she didn't care about what Ricky said.
Hearing this, Ricky was speechless.
"You are very different from your peers," he remarked after a short silence, amusement lightening his
expression. He inwardly laughed and thought to himself, 'What can I do? Queenie knows the identity of
the Evil Mandragora. I have no choice but to help her, no matter what she wants from me.
It's not like I can kill her, either. Undoubtedly, she is powerful enough to have a backup, and she might
even tell other people about my secret.
If that happens, all the creatures on the four continents will find out that I am with the Evil Mandragora.'
Queenie could not read his thought, but it was evident from his expression that he was about to give in
to her. A triumphant smile flashed across her face. "I think so too," she said with amusement.
"After this, you have one month to prepare, and then you can come to the Nether Manor to meet me.
You will follow me to our ancestral land, where we will locate the grand humanoid evil tree of this era,"
she added.
