"I had previously said that the number of human tribes had exceeded two hundred near the beginning of the Energy Cultivation Era, after which the number dropped to about sixty after the discovery of the Blue me Secondary Law due to our acquisition of more grounds and the merger between the tripes, but after the alliance of the Seven Tree Fathers… Sigh~ the number of human tribes that we know of is 15 tribes, and those tribes control 5% of the world''snd mass." Fugon nodded several times in a bad mood, "We 15 tribes have not seen each other for tens of thousands of years and maybe more, For example, we of the Northern Fury tribe, canmunicate with two other tribes using war bees, and they canmunicate with us using a simr one, and those two tribes canmunicate with a fourth tribe, and so on~ This is how we know that we are currently 15 tribes… As for the 16th tribe, it was destroyed just a few years ago."


    "15 scattered tribes and each one surrounded on all sides by the domination circles of the tree fathers... The fact that you guys still maintain 5% of the''s surface is an achievement in itself." Robin tapped his thigh as he spoke slowly


    "Well, we are not 15 tribes anymore, we are back to 16 again, you are with us now! Hahaha" Fugonughed out loud, Then he stopped and looked at Robin with a little wonder and asked, "By the way, where exactly have you guys been all those years, why haven''t we heard about you? And what is the name of that Tree Father who used poison on you? We should know them all... Is it a New Tree Father or is he one of the known seven Tree Fathers and it discovered a new way of attacking?"


    "…The Tree Fathers can change thews in their domination circle, the energy level in that area is much lower than normal, and they have special abilities that are as powerful as nature''s wrath itself… Why and how do they have such abilities? Why would they seek control in the first ce? They don''t have offspring or rtives to inherit thatnd, what is theirst quest?" Robin tapped his thigh and muttered in a low voice, he choose to ignore Fugon''s questions


    Then, he quickly asked, "What about the level of energy and structure ofws within thends controlled by the human tribes now, are they different from outside?"


    Fugon knotted his eyebrows for a second, but he choose not to press Robin for it for now, and answered, "…Yes and No. In the days when the ancient Trents fought among themselves, there was still a huge gap in thews between each domination circle, and thends of the humans were still cohesive, retaining their natural energy and the normal percentage of the heavenlyws, so that there were many living Trents among us in ournds, whether they were fleeing refugees or young Treants born within ournds, we had a lot of them."


    Fugon''s countenance turned serious again, "But after the Seven Tree Fathers allied themselves and took control of approximately 95% of the, the effect of what they were doing began to spread to ournds, and even our energy level decreased, it''s still better of than the atmosphere in an actual domination circle but it is clear that thews in ournds have changed to an extent that no new Treants are born in our borders as well and those who lived with us previously died one after the other, thews of the world simply no longer support their existence as before."


    "…That is reasonable, in the beginning, every ancient treant creature was trying to change thews from their point of view within their domination circle, and this led to shes between all those domination circles, but after the alliance of the Seven Tree Fathers they might have started to change certainws systematically, and Changing it in 95% of the world will definitely affect the rest… hmm, changing thews didn''t hurt the local humans in any way, right?" Robin waited a few seconds and then asked<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Ellis shook her head and replied, "…No, users of somews felt a little weak, but users of otherws became stronger, so it can be said that nothing has changed overall."


    "Huh~ Then the only ones affected by the changed percentage of thews are the Treants who went extinct, why would they want to exterminate the rest of their own kind? Before the Energy Cultivation Era there was no obvious enmity between the Treants, why would they suddenly want to exterminate each other?" Robin murmured again in a low voice, "...You said that after the first ancient Trent appeared and began to expand, so many other Ancient Treants began to do the same, it is impossible for them to tell each other whatever information they had as they were trying to kill each other! perhaps that piece of information is something thates easy to the race of Trents after they reach a certain level of strength? ...Is that why they want to eliminate the rest of their kind? So that the information remains exclusive to the least possible number among them? Whatever this information is, it is definitely rted to a way to change the heavenlyws of the..."


    Then, after a few taps on his thigh, he added, "If this is the reason behind the changed percentage of the heavenlyws, then the reason why the energy level is lower is even easier, changing thews of a and maintaining them for hundreds of thousands of years is definitely not an easy thing, expending a huge amount of energy for this is understandable, this Regardless of the amount of energy that each tree father swallows in making his army, like the tree father Hoffenheim who collects energy and pumps it into his army of buds... If we adopt these two interpretations, there is nothing left but to exin the source of those *special abilities* like thunderbolts that strike every flying thing or theck of air for a few minutes, these are natural phenomena that a person even at the level of an emperor cannot implement, does this have to do with changing thews as well? What do these creatures want from changing the to such a degree? And most importantly, who taught them how to tamper with thews of the world? Is this a Treant thing, or can we humans do it too if we know how?!"


    Fugon and Ellis looked at each other out of the corner of their eye without saying a word, but some drops of sweat started to seep from their heads visibly, then they turned back to look at Robin with a look of shock, even some fear...


    The existential questions that have baffled all human tribes for hundreds of thousands of years were now being answered before their eyes!


    And who is answering them in someone whom they have never seen before, someone who didn''t even know what a Trent is a few minutes ago.
