After a night's rest, Peilinna sent someone to summon them early the next morning.
"The Tree of Life has borne fruit..."
Everyone was surprised by the news. They had never expected the Tree of Life to work so quickly-it had borne fruit in just one night...
"Come on, let's take a look..."

"No. Judging by their current state, they should need another twenty-four hours to ripen." Peilinna's expression softened as she continued, "Unripe Primordial Chaos Fruits have little effect, so no one would pick them
