"So, I am the Dark Tree of Heaven. I am it, the dark side of the Dark Tree of Heaven. From a certain point of view, I am the ruler of the Infernal Relic. If you purify the power of strangeness here, it is equivalent to weakening me. I can not let you do that. Putting that aside, this fellow has always wanted to weaken me, saying it's for the sake of the divine pond. Aren't you just a hypocrite?"
"This isn't hypocrisy. Without you, the divine pond would be full of spiritual energy," The giant silver tree said indifferently, "There is still a sliver of life for this place."
"Don't give me that nonsense," Yama said coldly, "I was created from your wood of origin. If I die, you won't live long either. Without me, you wouldn't have been able to live until now. I'm going to eat this kid, and even a deity-rank can't stop me. Here, I said it!"
Wang Ye listened from the side.
He felt that what Yama said made some sense... Though it was mostly just sophistry.
