"Tree?"
"Not an ordinary tree; let's call it—the World Tree."
The Great Sage walked to a corner of the room and rummaged through an inconspicuous box, from which he retrieved a tiny tree branch only the length of a palm.
Tang Yu felt a familiar aura emanating from this small branch.
However,
it was very weak.
Much like the Great Sage who was a candle in the wind.
Most of this small branch had turned as black as ink; the power of the world—or perhaps, the downgraded Domain Power—was very weak, hardly effective at all.
Seemingly aware of Tang Yu's confusion, the Great Sage explained, "This little snippet of the World Tree branch was contaminated, something I picked up from the battlefield back then."
He continued, "The Aino Kingdom was once prosperous because it relied on the World Tree."
Tang Yu had originally thought that the Aino Kingdom vastly outshone other countries because it occupied the fertile center of the continent.
