The Dominator who asked the question was a jet-black, ugly creature that looked like a beetle. It possessed Level-8 Late-Stage strength.
Though it was ugly, that "ugliness" was judged by the aesthetic standards of ordinary Wizard World humans.
In truth, within the Dreadful Treant Civilization, this jet-black beetle Dominator, whose body even faintly emitted a foul stench, along with the race it led, was a prized treasure.
Countless plant-element Dominators and lower- to middle-tier beings hoped to curry favor with it.
Among all the Dominators of the Dreadful Treant Civilization, this great jet-black bug was second in popularity only to the Level-8 Peak Flying Illusion Flower Spirit.
The question from the Level-8 Late-Stage being, the Black-Horned Dung Beetle King, caused the Dominators present to turn their gazes toward the other side.
There, amid subtle spatial ripples, the shadow of a special silver giant tree flickered in and out of sight.
—The Level-8 Mid-Stage plant-element Dominator, the Layered Silver Tree.
The Dreadful Treant Civilization also possessed its own methods of divination and prophecy.
This Layered Silver Tree was the finest representative among them.
While Saine, aided by the Astral Realm Will and the information delivered by the Overseer, had already gained a basic understanding of the Dreadful Treant Civilization's general situation,
the Dreadful Treant Civilization could likewise use the Layered Silver Tree to probe some details regarding the Mechanical Civilization.

what had to be faced would eventually have to be faced.
In this regard, the Half-Level-9 Ancient Emperor Jing Jue was more open-minded than Jue Teng Tree Demon itself.
