The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 1190: Chapters 1138-1139 Decision Making at the Right Moment_2 Chapter 1190: Chapters 1138-1139 Decision Making at the Right Moment_2 The four brothers had lived together for so many years that sometimes they understood each other’s thoughts without saying a word.

“Indeed, with our abilities, we simply cannot retain these Divine Tree fruits till the end, and they will become a death warrant for us, attracting those powerful beings to us at all times, eager to hunt us down,” First Brother Mo candidly spoke of the problem they were now facing. “Also, we have already consumed these Divine Tree fruits, and if nothing goes wrong, consuming them again would only build our foundation without giving us the chance to comprehend the Immortal Path.”

The Divine Tree fruits they currently held were very precious, at least to the countless strong beings who had yet to consume them. However, to the four of them, the fruits were not as valuable as imagined.

This period had been sufficient for them to thoroughly understand everything about the origins of the Divine Tree and its effects. It was clear that the fruits were only effective upon the first consumption; consuming them again would merely accumulate power without offering a chance to comprehend the Immortal Path.

Of course, this was just a conjecture, based on the effects of the Divine Tree before its transformation. If the tree and the fruits underwent some mutation, a change might not be out of the question.

Unfortunately, there were prohibitions left on these Divine Tree fruits by a True Immortal, preventing them from verifying this possibility. They could only for the moment accept it as such.

In other words, they needed such a reason to persuade themselves.

If it were true that consuming Divine Tree fruits again provided no additional chances to comprehend the Immortal Path, then in reality, these fruits they held no longer meant much to them.

So, with that being the case, there was really no need for them to continue fighting these strong beings over this matter since it would be pointless.

“Then let’s use them for trade! We have already obtained what we should have, continuing to hold on to them will only attract disaster. It would be better to exchange them for other things,” Second Brother Mo said forthrightly.

Using these Divine Tree fruits for trade was, indeed, the best way to maximize their benefit. They could avoid being hunted and also trade for cultivation resources.

“However, no matter what, we need certain guarantees to prevent some from being greedy and reneging on the deal,” Third Brother Mo warned cautiously.

Of course, the so-called trade was based on equality, and the Brothers of Mo Family could all imagine that perhaps the Gao Brothers and Chen Qi and Zheng Lun had thought about doing what they did. But they were facing the Supreme Overlords, and if these opponents turned against them, they would have no leverage to respond.

The current situation of Mo Family Four Brothers was somewhat better, since the four brothers united could at least contend with a Supreme Overlord. If things truly came to a fight, they were fully qualified to perish together with a Supreme Overlord.

With the possibility of mutual destruction, the risk of a pyrrhic victory made the Supreme Overlords wary. They would make concessions if the Mo Family Four Brothers were willing to compromise.

Having made their decision, the Mo Family Four Brothers did not hesitate nor dare to delay.

They knew that since they currently held too many Divine Tree fruits and also possessed overpowering force, the rest of the Supreme Strong were already starting to form several informal alliances against them.

If they continued to delay and waited for those people to reach a final agreement on the interests division, everything would be settled. By then, even if they wanted to compromise and trade, the others might not agree.

After all, if one could obtain something without any cost, nobody would want to trade for it.

Thus, news quickly spread among many strong beings, still concerning the Brothers of Mo Family who held numerous Divine Tree fruits.

“The Brothers of Mo Family are willing to part with their remaining twelve Divine Tree fruits. Any strong being who can offer something of equal value, whether divine pills and miraculous medicines or precious Divine Material, may trade with them. The Demon Race is excluded.”

“These four, quite clever indeed.”

“Decisive, daring. No surprise these four brothers have come this far.”

“The human race, damn them!”

“Swear to kill these four!”

“Indeed, the items of our human race, why should they require the participation of these Demon Race scoundrels?”

“Nonsense and gibberish, these were originally the possessions of our Demon Race, it was you shameless humans who stole them.”

“…”

A storm suddenly swept through, and everyone was attracted by this news, while some powerful individuals, due to their own lack of resources, even preyed on the weaker supreme beings to forcibly seize resources, just to have a chance to trade for the fruits of the Divine Tree.

This development made the situation in the Bloody Trial even more complex and intricate.

The actions of the Mo Family Four Brothers also indirectly relieved some pressure on the others, drawing more strong individuals’ attention onto them.

After all, compared to seeking out others, these four brothers were taking the initiative, and even after deducting the fruits consumed by those twelve, the remaining twenty-four fruits from the Divine Tree accounted for half, if missed, there might truly be no other opportunity.

The strong responded to the call, each collecting some resources while also accumulating strength to face the upcoming situation.

Admittedly, the Mo Family Four Brothers were willing to trade the twelve Divine Tree fruits they held in their hands, conceding them to the many strong contenders.

But one thing to be clear about is that there are only twelve Divine Tree fruits, but the number of strong individuals who desire to seize these fruits is vast; not just twelve, but one hundred and twenty, one thousand two hundred, even twelve thousand are not enough.

Even if we exclude the common supreme strong, there are definitely more than a hundred supreme overlord-level strong individuals from both the human and Demon Races, and perhaps even more.

The ascension of heaven and earth did indeed allow the True Immortal Strong to snatch the initial Creation Profound Mystery, but the benefits of the Heaven and Earth Ascension are slowly becoming apparent.

These creatures were continuously enjoying the benefits of the Heaven and Earth Ascension, like how the once extremely rare Supreme Overlords have begun to emerge like bamboo shoots after a rain.

Among these supreme strong, each overlord is an invincible existence, only second to True Immortals, the strongest of all, deserving and aspiring to chase the Immortal Path, and their pursuit of the Divine Tree fruits is determined and inevitable.

The Brothers of Mo Family were simply finding a reason, an excuse to throw these Divine Tree fruits into the mix, in exchange for a safe and full retreat.

This purpose was clear to everyone, yet these strong contenders tacitly accepted the Mo Brothers’ approach.

If those making this call were the Gao Brothers or Chen Qi and Zheng Lun, these supreme overlords would not have acknowledged it, as the strength of the others was not enough to make these Supreme Overlords compromise.

As time swiftly passed, twelve Supreme Overlords completed their trades with the Mo Family Four Brothers, acquiring Divine Tree fruits with their possessed resources.

After obtaining the Divine Tree fruits, these twelve Supreme Overlords also announced to the outside world that they had taken the fruits, as part of their deal.

Once all twelve Divine Tree fruits were traded, the Mo Family Four Brothers decisively retreated, avoiding the battlefield of slaughter.

And regarding their withdrawal, the various strong individuals chose to acquiesce, even though many were dissatisfied for not having exchanged Divine Tree fruits with the Mo Brothers.

However, they still understood the rule that those who arrive first reap the rewards, and even with dissatisfaction, there was no reason to entangle with the Mo Brothers, especially when it was obvious they had no more Divine Tree fruits left, any further contention would be meaningless.

The Mo Family Four Brothers’ extrication did not signify an end to the strife over the Divine Tree fruits, on the contrary, the leakage of these twelve fruits drew more disputes, intensifying the conflict.

For their paths to Immortality, these strong individuals would give their all, and since the trade was not attainable, they did not shy away from combat.
