The Nightmare Forest was a place of eerie mystery, the most bizarre region in the Cannibal Tribe's world. Before the Cannibal Tribe had entered the Tree World, it was their holiest of places.

It is said that the Gods cursed the forest to prevent the Cannibal Tribe from obtaining the Blessed Divine Water.

No one could approach the Nightmare Forest.

On the only path leading to the Nightmare Forest, there was a small town. Passing through the town and entering the gorge, Jiang Chen saw the Nightmare Forest, a place shrouded in darkness.

The entire forest was pitch-black. The trees, the soil, and even the leaves were a sinister black.

Not only that, but the sky above was also enveloped in Hei Yun.

Little Xi said, "Ahead is the Nightmare Forest. The trees here all have a will of their own and possess power. Anyone who enters will be attacked."

"But that shouldn't stop the Cannibal Tribe. If they used Fire Magic, shouldn't it be easy to get through?"

Little Xi shook her head. "It's not as simple as you think. These trees can absorb any energy. No magic offensive attack will work."

"We can only force our way through, relying on dodging to get inside."

"I am from the Tree Tribe. Although the Nightmare Forest has been tainted, I can enter."

Dodging? That's easy.

As Little Xi spoke, she walked toward the Nightmare Forest.

Jiang Chen's keen senses felt the seemingly dead trees stirring as if coming to life.

"Not only do we have to dodge here, but it's also like a maze. These trees seem to be preventing us from reaching the depths to find the Blessed Divine Water. It's virtually impossible for anyone to reach the heart of the Nightmare Forest."

"Then how did you find it?"

"I am from the Tree Tribe. I have a certain affinity for the Blessed Divine Water and know which direction it's in."

So that's how.

Little Xi said, "Let's go. We have to get inside."

The three of them squeezed through a narrow crack and entered the Nightmare Forest.

It was pitch-black inside, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. There was nothing but darkness; it was impossible to find a way out with eyes alone.

Jiang Chen took Angelina's hand as they went in.

At that moment, as Jiang Chen stepped on the ground, it produced a loud CRUNCH.

What Jiang Chen didn't know was that he had stepped on skeletal remains.

As the three of them entered, the entire Nightmare Forest seemed to spring to life. The surrounding trees began to move in an orderly fashion, even sprouting vines to attack them.

Jiang Chen focused his mind and activated the [Sword Array], but the [Sword Array] had no effect.

It was as if these trees were not living beings.

With no other choice, he unleashed the Sword Qi of the Wan Jian Gui Clan, weaving through the surroundings to take out the vines. However, Jiang Chen sharply sensed that his Sword Qi was being devoured by some mysterious force.

In less than a minute, the Sword Qi had disappeared without a trace.

Little Xi explained, "Inside, you can only rely completely on Agility to escape. Any magic offensive attack is useless. Only a Physical Attack might work."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen could only draw his Longsword.

Angelina smiled and said, "Good thing my attacks are Physical Attacks." After speaking, she unfolded her nine tails.

At that moment, Little Xi's body radiated a blue light.

Jiang Chen looked puzzled.

This is a skill of the Takano Divine Clan, not the Tree Tribe. How does she know it? Had Uncle Snake's daughter had the Sharingan transplanted into her?

Then, Little Xi magnified the blue light, enveloping Jiang Chen and herself within it.

Jiang Chen curiously asked, "Is this a Takano Divine Clan skill?"

"Yes, I had the eyes of the Takano Divine Clan transplanted and acquired their abilities. Actually, you could do it too, to gain such powers."

"Never mind. That ability is dispensable for me."

Absolute Defense. I have speed. What do I need absolute defense for? If I changed my eyes, would I still be myself?

Jiang Chen asked curiously, "Why aren't the trees attacking you? Logically, your energy should be absorbed too, shouldn't it?"

"I am originally from the Tree Tribe. My energy isn't absorbed. This Nightmare Forest seems dangerous, but it's actually protecting the Blessed Divine Water, preventing others from entering."

Jiang Chen suddenly understood.

Before the Cannibal Tribe entered the Tree World, this place had belonged to them, and it was their holiest area. After their entire world came under attack, things here changed.

It had become a true forbidden zone.

This forbidden zone, however, was only for others.

It had no effect on members of the Tree Tribe.

Even so, the vines began to attack Little Xi. With the blue light's protection, the vine whips lashed out but were ineffective against it.

After ten hours of travel, it was hard to say how many paths they had crossed.

Deep in the forest, they finally saw a spring. The Spring Water was crystal clear and sparkled with flecks of starlight.

"This is the Blessed Divine Water."

"After drinking the Divine Water, it will permanently increase your Four-dimensional attributes."

"It can increase Four-dimensional attributes too?"

"Yes, you can try it."

Jiang Chen squatted down, cupped the Spring Water in his hands, and took a sip.

[Drinking Blessed Divine Water. Permanently increased Constitution by 200 points, Spirit by 200 points, Strength by 200 points, Agility by 50 points...]

[Name: Jiang Chen]

[Legion: Secret Sword Legion]

[Class: Swordsman]

[Level: 140]

[Experience: 100,000/25,000,000]

[Constitution: 1,300]

[Strength: 640]

[Spirit: 1,350]

[Agility: 135]

Indeed, my Attribute Value increased by 200 points. This Spring Water is amazing! Should I try again?

Jiang Chen took another big gulp.

Uh… No prompt? It seems the Spring Water can only bless once. Thinking about it, that makes sense. If it could continuously increase stats, what would be the point of leveling up? I could just keep drinking from the spring.

The Blessed Divine Water is really fucking awesome! Two hundred Four-dimensional points! How many levels would that be equivalent to? That's equivalent to 20 levels' worth of stats, and just like that, my Four-dimensional attributes increased by 200 points!

"I'll give it a try," Angelina said as she squatted down and drank a sip of the Spring Water.

[Drinking Blessed Divine Water. Permanently increased Constitution by 10,000 points, Spirit by 10,000 points, Strength by 10,000 points, Agility by 500 points...]

Angelina exclaimed in surprise, "I've gained 10,000 points in spiritual power!"

Jiang Chen was shocked.

What the hell? Increased by 10,000 points? She can't be bullshitting me! I only got an increase of 200 points?

Jiang Chen looked skeptical, "No way!"

"Really! How much did you get?"

"That, uh, about the same, I guess," Jiang Chen responded awkwardly.

"That's amazing! I feel full of power now, like I'm so freaking awesome!"

Jiang Chen gave her a sidelong glance.

This was like a direct hit of ten thousand points of damage to Jiang Chen.

Being a God Reincarnation Body really is different. I only got 200 points. Why the discrimination?

Little Xi said, "The Spring Water is sentient. Only those it feels an affinity for will gain such high values. An average person can only increase their Four-dimensional attributes by about 100 points."

"That little?"

"That's already quite a lot. Moreover, the Blessed Divine Water has more than just this one function. It can also heal wounds."

「At this moment, within the depths of Angelina's soul.」

A statue opened its eyes, looking out through Angelina's eyes at everything around.

The Divine had officially awakened.
