A thick black branch emerged from the deep sea and directly pierced into the trunk of a Red Sea Tree.

The pierced Red Sea Tree immediately began trembling, with large numbers of red leaves falling and drifting to the sea surface. Even its crown began to wilt.

All these changes were very similar to what happened when Red Sea Trees encountered Black Sea Trees before.

Royer immediately stepped forward several paces, coming to the cliff edge. Small pebbles were kicked by him and fell to the bottom of the cliff.

He watched the changes in the Red Sea Tree forest intently. If Saul’s experiment failed and he couldn’t suppress the Red Sea Trees’ natural fear of Black Sea Trees, then he would have to destroy Saul’s experimental product at the first opportunity—leaving not even dregs.

Otherwise, the Red Sea Trees would fall to  a chain-reaction. That would cause even greater losses.

But he couldn’t act now.

Since he had agreed to let Saul conduct the experiment, he had to give him some time.

“Let’s say… if more than 10 Red Sea Trees wither, no, 20 trees. If it exceeds this number, immediately destroy the Black Sea Tree.”

Royer had already redefined the black branch Saul threw out as a Black Sea Tree in his mind.

This also indicated he wasn’t very optimistic about this experiment.

At the same time, Saul wasn’t as calm and composed as he appeared either.

The black branch, or rather Mido, was the third target he had chosen for his Symphony of Fate.

Unlike before, this time all auxiliary magical formations had been inscribed in advance on that small branch.

The core formation was drawn in the spiritual body of Sander’s sister, Mido.

Now, Mido would complete her transformation from a weak soul body to a powerful existence controlling an entire Red Sea Tree forest.

Her fate was about to undergo tremendous change, and Saul would also receive powerful fate force from Mido.

Therefore, while Royer watched the Red Sea Trees, prepared to humanely destroy Saul’s experimental product before losses exceeded his tolerance limit, Saul was also paying attention to Royer’s movements.

If this guy couldn’t keep his composure, then even if it meant falling out, Saul would have to pin him down first.

As for the Tribunal Chief… Saul could only hope this guy would have more patience.

After all, he couldn’t beat a fourth-rank.

Under everyone’s tense and anxious atmosphere, a second black branch grew out of the water and, like the first, pierced its sharp end into the trunk of an intact Red Sea Tree.

Then more branches emerged, piercing into more Red Sea Trees.

The number had long exceeded Royer’s bottom line of 20, but Royer didn’t stop it.

In fact, after carefully observing the first Red Sea Tree that was pierced, he walked to Saul’s side with a grave expression and stopped observing the other Red Sea Trees.

“How did you do this?” Royer had already discovered that although many Red Sea Trees had dropped quite a few leaves after being pierced by black branches and appeared much more wilted, these Red Sea Trees weren’t actually beginning to wither.

It was like being beaten up rather than having their throats cut.

Their vitality was still very vigorous, and they looked more obedient.

Saul didn’t answer Royer.

Royer wasn’t surprised either. He knew Saul hadn’t revealed the true secrets of the black branch.

But not being able to see through it temporarily didn’t mean never being able to see through it. Anyway, if Saul’s Black Sea Tree was successfully planted, it would remain in Nephret from now on.

The Tribunal didn’t lack high-rank wizards, much less research-capable wizards.

They might not be able to see through the structure and formula of a new thing immediately, but over the following years or even decades, they would eventually break through.

As long as this thing stayed in Nephret, stayed with the Tribunal, he would find a way to understand it thoroughly.

Because he saw that the Black Sea Tree Saul created didn’t cause the Red Sea Trees to wither, Royer raised his hand to signal other wizards not to act yet.

More and more black branches appeared, spreading like vines toward surrounding Red Sea Trees, growing more numerous and widespread.

When Red Sea Trees within a kilometer radius had all been pierced by black branches in their trunks, a protrusion emerged from where the black branch had fallen into the sea.

The protrusion was also rapidly growing taller, looking like a large tree’s crown that continuously grew new branches, continuing to seek other nearby Red Sea Trees it hadn’t contacted.

The branches growing from the crown weren’t numerous, but more branches grew from below the sea surface.

Looking from high above, it seemed like large schools of fish were swimming back and forth underwater, with black shadows crisscrossing. Check latest chapters at NovєlFіre.net

In a place no one noticed, a black branch that was spreading suddenly disappeared. The cross-section was clean and smooth, as if someone had cut it directly with a blade.

Frim played with the small section of black branch in his hand.

From the branch’s cross-section, he had already seen much information, but there were still key parts he temporarily couldn’t discern.

Frim stood in the layered, dizzying dark corridors, looking at the images displayed in the light sphere before him. His gaze ultimately didn’t fall on the black branch everyone was focused on, but on that seemingly calm young wizard’s face.

“Why do you understand so much knowledge about black tides?” Frim cupped his chin, his gaze obscure and unclear, staring intently at Saul’s face.

“Can’t let him return. He has even more value.”

Saul didn’t know that the black branch he created wasn’t as interesting as he himself was.

At this moment, seeing Mido gradually establishing a foothold in the sea, Saul’s confidence in this experiment’s success grew stronger. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by NoveI-Fire.ɴet

Suddenly, as if some barrier in the dark was broken, large amounts of fate force from the surrounding heaven and earth surged toward him.

The third target was achieved!

But at the same time, Saul felt this fate force was even more than he had originally calculated.

He couldn’t care about others, closed his eyes and felt the changes in the fate lines on his body.

“This large amount of fate force doesn’t only come from Mido… there’s also Floco. He contributed quite a bit from his side too.”

Saul slowly opened his eyes, his expression calm.

“That guy Floco caused quite a lot of trouble coming over this time, but it seems his gains weren’t small. At least this mermaid escape also caused changes in his fate. Just don’t know if this change is good or bad for him.”

Two streams of fate force injected, plus Shaya’s steady nourishment from his side, Saul felt his spiritual body seemed about to start growing again.

For wizards, increasing magical power was manageable—there were multiple ways to achieve it.

But improving the soul body was extremely difficult, usually only producing qualitative changes during advancement.

But Saul’s soul body, due to the special nature of fate force, was actually growing faster than his magical power.

He slightly curved his lips, already beginning to ponder the fourth target in his mind.

As Saul smiled, new changes occurred in the Red Sea Trees on the sea.

They were no longer wilted, but instead more spirited than before, and grew new red leaves.

Royer could no longer restrain himself and flew to a Red Sea Tree, testing its condition.

“The stem blocks under the tree are shrinking. The stored pollution is transferring to the Black Sea Tree through the black branches? No, that’s no longer a Black Sea Tree, but an entirely new species.”

Royer flew back, looking at Saul with an excited voice, “Saul, you succeeded! The new species you created is absorbing the black tide pollution inside the Red Sea Trees!”

Saul’s smile at this moment was naturally understood as happiness about the Black Sea Tree’s effectiveness.

“Your black branch is already a new species. It should have a new designation.”

“Ah, naming.” Saul frowned—he wasn’t good at this, but naturally had to keep the naming rights for himself. “Then let’s call it Mido.”
