The Primordial World readily handed over the resources.
Yuan Tingshan accepted them with a cheerful smile.
It could be considered a perfect ending.
"It's just a shame about these Little Sprites. Why do I feel like the Life Force in this world is dwindling?"
"And isn't this tree withering?"
Yuan Tingshan looked at the branches in puzzlement.
Since the two sides had reconciled, Yuan Tingshan no longer had any reservations about examining the Tree of Life.
He had never paid it much attention before, but now that he looked closely, he discovered that the Tree of Life really was slowly withering.
The sight immediately put Wang Shi and the others on edge.
The reason they had been so eager to devour these two worlds...
Wasn't it precisely for this tree?
If the tree withered away, their gains truly would not make up for their losses.
Wang Shi placed his hand against the trunk and examined it carefully.
Soon, he sensed the Life Force in the tree slowly dwindling, flowing toward the main trunk like a stream of water.
His expression changed drastically.
"This is bad. That brat really was right. This tree is shriveling, and the main trunk below is sucking away all its Life Force."
Frowning, Wang Shi plunged straight into the ground beneath the tree.
Before long, he had bored a large hole in the ground.
He continued burrowing downward, searching for the world boundary to which the trunk connected.
This was a last resort born of necessity.
He had originally intended to investigate the Tree of Life slowly.
Of course, if it could keep producing Little Sprites, he would even take good care of this world tree.
But who could have expected such an unforeseen turn?
No matter what, he could not tolerate this tree withering away.
