The Tree of Time was a clever person. It simply had never considered this matter before. Now that Chthon had enlightened it, how could it not understand what mistake it had made?
No, the Tree of Time shook its head. It had done nothing wrong. It was merely partners with the King of Negativity—why should it try to please him? The one with the problem was the King of Negativity, not it.
"Fortunately, I'm already one of the Mechanical Demon King's people. Otherwise, I'd probably have to engage in a battle of wits with the King of Negativity. Hmph, what a bunch of vermin. How could such a team, united only in appearance but not in heart, possibly defeat the godlike Mechanical Demon King and King of Abilities?"
The Tree of Time sneered inwardly and said to Chthon, "I have no interest in knowing what dissatisfaction the King of Negativity has toward me. As long as he doesn't interfere with my arrangements, that's enough."
"At this stage, he should still follow your plan."
Chthon could hear the Tree of Time's dissatisfaction with the King of Negativity and was quite pleased. He said, "Tree of Time, you are a clever person. You can decide for yourself what to do.
"This world is too small to contain your wisdom. Help me win this war, and I will take you to a broader world, allowing you to reach a higher rank. To mortals, Skyfather is an unattainable endpoint, but to those of us born as gods, it is merely the beginning."
The Compound V Big Tree had been born a Skyfather, while Chthon himself had likewise been born a Time Demon God—Time Demon Gods were also gods, creatures created by the world. In Eastern terms, they were Primordial Living Beings.
"A broader world?"
