The waters of the Astral Realm run deep, a fact Lancelot has always been well aware of. He understands that the information he possesses is merely the tip of the iceberg, and there is far more to be revealed beneath the surface.
For example, Lancelot was completely unaware of the conflict between the God of Death in the Divine Realm and the Ancestral Tree of Life in the World Alliance.
The Ancestral Tree of Life says that the God of Death is treacherous and cunning, like a dog that bites but doesn't bark.
However, the Ancestral Tree of Life itself is also a cunning and calculating being. Long ago, it knew that the God of Death coveted the Death Note in her hands, but it never showed it, thus numbing the God of Death and silently waiting for the right moment to strike a fatal blow.
Lancelot's initiative to seek him out was the opportunity that the Ancestral Tree of Life had been waiting for, which is why the Tree of Life personally came to receive him and remained polite throughout the conversation, as if the Ancestral Tree of Life was the one asking for a favor from Lancelot.
The willingness to temporarily lower one's stance in order to deal with a powerful enemy is a commendable approach.
Having figured out these key points, Lancelot couldn't help but become extremely wary of these old guys. "Old age without dying is thieving," he thought, "And experience truly matters."
In the future, I must be extremely careful when dealing with these old guys, otherwise I might get sold out and end up counting the money for them.
These thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. On his face, Lancelot showed no sign of apprehension, but rather Earth Dao with considerable interest, "Then, Your Ancestral Tree of Life, do you have any strategies for dealing with the God of Death? Since you already know that the God of Death intends to harm you, you must have made some arrangements, right?"
"Of course." The branches and leaves of the Ancestral Tree of Life rustled, and the life force flowed down. Even through the light barrier, Lancelot could almost feel the incomparably surging Power of Life.
It's as if it can cleanse the body and soul, giving them a new lease on life.
Compared to the World Tree, the Ancestral Tree of Life likely has an even greater control over the Dao of Life.
This is not surprising; everyone has their own area of expertise.
People take different paths, and naturally, they develop different strengths as well.
Eternity existence does not mean true omniscience and omnipotence, but rather that one is on the path of this existence, Infinity close, but no one can say for sure how far away one is.
In fact, the idea that the world is boundless, chaotic, and omniscient and omnipotent is more like a beautiful dream, and whether it can be realized is another matter.
"Could you reveal a little something?" Lancelot asked.
He added, "Rest assured, I swear to His Excellency the World Tree, I will not divulge even the slightest information."
"There's no need for that," the Ancestral Tree of Life said gently, like a kind and gentle old woman. "I believe in you."
Lancelot understood the meaning of those words. To be precise, the Ancestral Tree of Life believed that the Community interests formed by the inheritor of the Lord of Source Fire and the Lord of Ice Origin was an absolute and irreconcilable conflict with the God of Death.
A reconciliation between the two sides is impossible.
This is an irreconcilable contradiction.
In that case, vows are essentially unnecessary.
As he finished speaking, the Ancestral Tree of Life began to explain his plan in detail.
As Lancelot listened, his eyes slowly widened. Good heavens, you old fogies really know how to play the game, setting up your pieces so early.
Rumors circulate that the Ancestral Tree of Destruction, which broke away from the World Alliance, did so under the World Alliance of the Ancestral Tree of Life, to independently create the Destruction Realm Abyss.
The stated reason was that the Ancestral Tree of Destruction was dissatisfied with the World Tree for handing over the Miracle Creation, the Death Note, to the Ancestral Tree of Life. Feeling that the World Tree was biased, the Destruction Ancestral Tree angrily withdrew from the World Alliance and became the sole ruler of its own territory.
In reality, no one knows that the Ancestral Tree of Destruction was actually nurtured and grown by the Ancestral Tree of Life. Although they are opposed to each other on their paths, their emotional relationship is incredibly close.
Furthermore, the Death Note was actually given to the Ancestral Tree of Life by the Ancestral Tree of Destruction of Destruction, which is quite absurd.
It's conceivable that if someone wanted to deal with the Ancestral Tree of Life, they would most likely think of Ancestral Tree of Destruction.
That'll be a lot of fun.
I'm afraid my every move will be known by the Ancestral Tree of Life, which is no different from running naked.
This reminded Lancelot of the years he spent growing up in the Elven Plane.
Logo, he, and Gustavo also cooperated in this way.
Despite belonging to different camps, and even being hostile to each other, they were able to perfectly utilize these relationships, using each other's strengths to their advantage, gradually seizing benefits and growing rapidly.
It can also prevent many unexpected situations from occurring and improve the fault tolerance rate.
The Ancestral Tree of Destruction is like bait cast by the Ancestral Tree of Life, waiting for fish to bite.
Moreover, she wasn't waiting for ordinary small fish and shrimp, but for plump, large fish.
The God of Death, without a doubt, is such a big fish.
Of course, bait alone is enough to be tempting for ordinary fish.
But this is not the case for a treacherous and cunning being like the God of Death.
At this point, it's necessary to secretly give them a push.
The plan of the Ancestral Tree of Life is to openly expose the accumulated conflict between her and the Ancestral Tree of Destruction, caused by a certain incident, to the various forces in the Astral Realm.
In this way, the God of Death is very likely to take the initiative to seek out the Ancestral Tree of Destruction and join forces with it to deal with the Ancestral Tree of Life.
Ancestral Tree of Destruction would then allow him to infiltrate the God of Death's side, monitor the God's movements, and transmit this information in real time to the Ancestral Tree of Life, enabling the latter to make its plans with ease.
In Lancelot's view, the most brilliant aspect of this plan was that it made the God of Death actively seek out the door to Ancestral Tree of Destruction.
It's not about Ancestral Tree of Destruction to find the God of Death.
The two situations are fundamentally different.
People tend to believe what they see.
Candy that you actively seek out tastes sweeter.
They also had almost no suspicion.
Since the God of Death actively seeks out the Ancestral Tree of Destruction, there is little doubt about his motives for Ancestral Tree of Destruction.
Conversely, if the Ancestral Tree of Destruction were to actively seek out the God of Death, given the God of Death's suspicious nature, he might overthink things and ultimately be able to deduce some things.
It can be said that the Ancestral Tree of Life is a master who deeply understands human nature. Its plans are so ingenious and natural that they lure its prey into a trap without them even realizing it.
That's absolutely terrifying.
Goddess of Fate, Lord of Time, Lord of Hell, Ancestral Tree of Life...
A series of cunning and powerful figures flashed through my mind.
Lancelot suddenly realized that he was still too inexperienced compared to these old guys who had lived for so long.
When someone sets up a plan, it often takes tens of thousands of years, or even millions of years and several eras, demonstrating ample patience and perseverance.
Although I have paved the way to the top and have a bright future, I cannot underestimate the Champion of the world, especially these old guys. I must be extremely cautious.
Some secrets must be buried deep in one's heart.
Lancelot is now very glad that he didn't proactively inform other factions, even those that seem to be very close to him, about his relationship with Logo.
It's not safe.
How long have you lived?
The waters of the Astral Realm run deep; some seemingly hostile forces or individuals are actually inseparable family members in private.
Who can I complain to about this?
After all the calculations, the only ones we can rely on in the end are Gustavo and Logo.
Only these two are absolutely reliable.
There are too many other variables.
