Chapter 1122 Grand Humanoid Evil Tree

"Mister Ricky, how much do you know about human devils?" Queenie asked as a smile tempered the steel in her voice. She hadn't fully let her guard down, but after Ricky calmed himself down, she also stopped acting as threatening as before.

"I heard that there are living creatures called human devils in this world. That's all I know," answered Ricky. A resentful sneer dimmed the smile on Queenie's face when she heard his answer. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

"You are right. We, human devils, are all low-level creatures to both creatures born on the continent and creatures of devil race. A genius like you, Mister Ricky, will never be interested in knowing that," she remarked indignantly.

However, despite the resentment that her words held, Ricky could tell that she felt helpless and indignant toward the situation as well.

'I guess the situation of human devils is not as good as I previously thought, ' reflected Ricky. Although honestly, he never gave much thought to human devils at all. But after hearing what Queenie said, he now understood why she felt that way. Unfortunately, he didn't have time to dwell on other people's problems, as he also had issues of his own.

At that moment, he still had a lot of problems that he needed to solve.

"I don't know about other people, but I never look down upon anyone or any race," Ricky told Queenie sincerely. "Even if they are my enemies, I will not judge them based on their bloodline and background. If I consider them my enemies, then it is because of their actions and not for anything else," he continued.

"I see that you are quite open-minded, Mister Ricky," responded Queenie, as one of her eyebrows lifted in disbelief. She had a hard time believing him, as life had taught her the opposite.

Since she was a child, she had learned never to believe anyone else except human devils. Otherwise, she would get hurt.

"We, human devils, have been trying our best to survive in this world over the past years. We have to deal with all the creatures born on the continent and creatures of devil race, and that is not an easy thing to do. I am sure you know that," stated Queenie.

She paused for a short while, reminiscing the hardships that she had faced in the past. And as Ricky looked at her in the eyes, he too could sense the difficulties she had suffered.

"Judging from your situation, I can only guess how hard it must have been, but I'm sure it is a hundred times harder than I can imagine," Ricky responded somberly, as he was aware of the delicacy of their topic, and he didn't want to say something insensitive.

"To be honest, we are truly grateful to all the creatures born on the continent, for many of you are just and kind. Their kind hearts are the reason that human devils have survived there until this day," added Queenie.

Then, she paused and studied Ricky. She had to take the time and breathe, for her words, at that moment, weighed heavily on her soul.

"However, in this world where the weak would fall prey to the strong, strength is the only thing that matters. And the most important reason that human devils have gotten to where they are today is mostly because of our strength," she continued.

Ricky nodded along and chimed in, "I agree with you there. In this world, strength is the only thing that talks. Trust and friendship between friends can carry you through the distance, but there is always a big chance that those who call themselves friends are not honest with each other. If you are dishonest to your friends, then what is the difference between friends and enemies? It is hypocritical to say that you are friends and then betray each other at the first chance you get."

Queenie listened to all these quietly, surprise widening her eyes. "You impress me. I wasn't aware that you thought that way," said Queenie.

She could not stop the small smile that found its way to her lips, and she nodded with a satisfied air at Ricky.

"Thanks for your appreciation," he answered at once with a vague amusement in his voice. "Our ancestors have been protecting and developing the ancestral land of our people for countless years to strengthen us.

This land seized the essence of heaven and earth, with the power of the sun and moon, to cast the grand humanoid evil tree," explained Queenie. A small gasp escaped Ricky, as he waited for her to elaborate. In the end, he could not help but ask, "Grand humanoid evil tree? What is that?" "For us human devils, it is a holy tree," she readily answered.

"The grand humanoid evil tree has two kinds of powers, and both of these are sacred and ancient. It holds an evil spirit and the continent spirit. Once a human devil manages to obtain a grand humanoid evil tree, he can become sacred by absorbing the power of the tree," explained Queenie.

"You mean, just one tree could make a human devil sacred? That's amazing," exclaimed Ricky, sounding awed and pleasantly surprised.

"That's for sure. As I mentioned, this ancestral land was developed by our numerous predecessors in the past, and it had cost countless years to be created. It only exists in the void, and only a human devil's direct descendants can enter it.

Then do you know why they cast this land in the void? Make a guess," said Queenie.

"I have a theory about it, so correct me if I am wrong. Your ancestors were afraid that human devils might be destroyed, so they built this land where your race could be reborn. After all, a human devil's

identity is very sensitive. If the creatures on the continent don't trust them, they will be killed, and your race might die out," Ricky assumed.

"You are right. That's it!" Queenie nodded at once, surprised at Ricky's vast insight.

"So, you want me to help you to go to your ancestral land and find the grand humanoid evil tree?" Ricky asked.

"Yes, that's exactly what I want from you," she answered, still nodding enthusiastically.

"I don't understand. Why are you asking someone from another force to help you enter your ancestral land?" Ricky asked doubtfully.

"That is because of the ancestor's rule. Our ancestral land produces the purest aura in the continent, and that means that there must be a lot of Treasures from Heaven and Earth, which are very suitable for the creatures on the continent to cultivate.

We are allowed to come with someone from another race because we also want to build better relationships with the great forces in the continent," Queenie explained lengthily.

"Got it. Your ancestor wants human devils to enter the ancestral land with the geniuses from other powerful forces every time you open up the land. By doing this, you are promoting camaraderie between you and those geniuses," Ricky responded. As he spoke, he nodded to himself as if he was beginning to understand something. Then he continued, "Your ancestors want to do this because the geniuses of these large forces are the future leaders of their forces, aren't they? Your ancestors wish to build a better relationship with them, as that will naturally benefit your human devils," he guessed correctly.

Once again, an impressed smile made its way on Queenie's face. "You are very impressive. You're not only strong, but you're intelligent as well,"

Queenie praised Ricky. Then she added, "But I hate dealing with the talents from those powerful forces, as they act so arrogant and impolite in front of us. I don't want to invite anyone from the continent to enter the land, at least, not anyone like those jerks."

"It seems that you are very prejudiced against creatures from the continent. No wonder you're willing to help the Nether Manor," Ricky remarked as he raised an eyebrow at her in criticism.

"But if you believe these things, then why do you threaten and want me to help you?" he asked further.

"The answer is straightforward. It's because you are an incredible demi-spiritual emperor," answered Queenie readily.

"When people see an incredible demi-spiritual emperor, they all become jealous, even those geniuses from the other forces. However, after the first reaction of jealousy, they always end up with either of the two—kill him or associate with him. Half of them choose the former, while the other half is drawn to him and wish to entice him to their side," explained Queenie.

"Do you really want to draw me over to your side? I don't think you're drawing me at all, Queenie. As far as I'm concerned, you've chosen a third choice, which is to use me and hunt me down afterwards," Ricky responded with a smile.

Well, he was right, to an extent. Indeed, Queenie had chosen a third option, which was to force Ricky to yield to her.

Of course, it was good to have an incredible demi-spiritual emperor of your level by your side. However, it would be even better if you killed an incredible demi-spiritual emperor of your level, as that would prove to everyone the extent of your abilities.

Moreover, it would be a greater shock for anyone if one managed to make an incredible demi-spiritual emperor of the same level surrender.

Queenie desperately wanted to subjugate an incredible demi-spiritual emperor from the continent and make him yield to her. In that way, she could avenge her race for the difficulties they had suffered in the past, and it could also be the perfect venue to show off her power to other forces.

"I never use benefits to draw people to my side. I use my own way, just like what I am doing now. So, I hope you don't mind," Queenie casually mentioned as if she didn't care about what Ricky said.

Hearing this, Ricky was speechless.

"You are very different from your peers," he remarked after a short silence, amusement lightening his expression. He inwardly laughed and thought to himself, 'What can I do? Queenie knows the identity of the Evil Mandragora. I have no choice but to help her, no matter what she wants from me.

It's not like I can kill her, either. Undoubtedly, she is powerful enough to have a backup, and she might even tell other people about my secret.

If that happens, all the creatures on the four continents will find out that I am with the Evil Mandragora.'

Queenie could not read his thought, but it was evident from his expression that he was about to give in to her. A triumphant smile flashed across her face. "I think so too," she said with amusement.

"After this, you have one month to prepare, and then you can come to the Nether Manor to meet me. You will follow me to our ancestral land, where we will locate the grand humanoid evil tree of this era," she added.
