Evolve from a Tree

Once the spiritual energy recovered, the strong would be crowned as kings.    

The threat of modern firearms to the Spirit Cultivator was like a drop off a cliff.    

One person can exterminate a nation.    

In front of a powerhouse of this level, no matter how prestigious or ancient the bloodline of an ancient noble was, or how high the status of a politician was, even the richest man would have to greet him with a smile.    

What's more, Su Mu was an existence that was much stronger than the Life Field.    

However, the old man did not flatter him. He bowed and bent his knees. Respect was something he had to rely on himself to obtain.    

If he treated himself like a dog, then he really wouldn't be able to stand up.    

"May I know the purpose of Your Majesty's visit?" The old man gave Su Mu a standard social etiquette.    

Su Mu returned the greeting like he did with the old man. He got straight to the point, "It's for cooperation, and also for this world."    

The old man more or less knew about the events at the Unique Religion Meeting through the World Tree's seedlings, so during the disaster that swept across the entire world, Lih Kingdom and the few allies who maintained good relations with Lih Kingdom were the ones that received the least impact.    

However, this did not mean that they could truly stay out of this matter.    

If the sky collapsed, no one would be able to escape this calamity.    

This was also the root of many countries' cooperation with each other, putting aside their past prejudices.    

It was because of this that the old man was not surprised when he heard the latter part of Su Mu's sentence. What really caught his attention was the first part of the sentence — — Cooperation!    

Although the old man had roughly guessed Su Mu's purpose for coming here, his heart still skipped a beat when he heard Su Mu's purpose for coming here.    

"I wonder how Your Majesty is planning to cooperate?" The old man didn't loiter around like the other politicians, and directly asked.    

"I want to build Spirit Net s within the Lih Kingdom. At the same time, convert 30% of the net national income produced by the Lih Kingdom into Spirit Stone for me."    

As the second largest nation in the world, Lih Kingdom generated an astronomical amount of net income for its citizens every year, even if it was only thirty percent of it.    

Thirty percent of the net income of the Lih Kingdom was already equivalent to the combined income of many other nations.    

The first reaction of any politician in any other country on this condition alone would be to refuse.    

No matter how strong you are, you can't act so recklessly. Taking away 30% of the net income will have a serious impact on every country's plans for the coming year, not to mention five years in a row!    

Furthermore, there was also a Spirit Net that he did not know the origins of.    

The old man did not answer immediately after hearing this. Even with the endorsement from the World Tree, after hearing these two conditions, even with his iron bloodedness, he could not help but hesitate.    

This was because behind these light words was a reality that was as heavy as a mountain.    

He had no choice but to seriously consider the consequences of agreeing. If he did not agree, what kind of consequences would it bring about?    

To make such a decision was extremely difficult, extremely difficult.    

Su Mu didn't urge him. He just stood there quietly and waited for the old man's answer.    

After a while, the old man's face became as serious as iron, his eyes were sharp like a condor soaring in the nine heavens: "What can my Lih Kingdom obtain?"    

The old man's rhetorical questions had made clear his preference. Now it was Su Mu who was needed to answer his questions.    

There was no such thing as cooperation for long. Unilateral sacrifice was not cooperation. It was kneeling and licking without dignity or bottom line.    

Su Mu only smiled at this question. Standing with his sleeves down, he said with a light tone, "The peak of the world."
