"These guys act really fast."

"It's one thing for everyone else to be quick, but Sanchez, after all, he hesitated for a moment with the communicator and it was his first official move, yet he still managed to grab a Saint Asia Tree before us. That's really outrageous."

"Haha, the more outrageous he is, the better. Who else will deal with Silver Wolf in the future?"

"That's true, let's go."

The councilors who didn't get the Saint Asia Tree chatted a bit and then dispersed to start a carpet search of the Forest Plane.

...

In the Divine Realm Spatial Layer.

Holding the Saint Asia Tree, Sanchez said indifferently, "Submission, or death?"

The Saint Asia Tree in his hand shone with dazzling white light, swinging its branches and roots with all its might at Sanchez's hand holding it. At the same time, the treetop emitted terrifying beams of white light straight at Sanchez's forehead.

Facing the Saint Asia Tree's counterattack, Sanchez didn't even blink and didn't care about the beams aimed at his forehead, slapping the tree's crown.

"Crash—"

Under the extreme force, the tree crown of the Fifth Tier Saint Asia Tree, harder than anything else in the Forest World, shattered like foam.

And the branches and roots striking his hand and the vines aiming at his forehead didn't stir any waves.

To be precise, they didn't even bend his hair.

Soon, the damaged body of the Saint Asia Tree recovered with the help of the Power of Origin.

"%￥, @! *&?"

At the same time, it heard the phrase spoken by the overwhelming being which it couldn't understand.

"What to do?" The Fifth Tier Saint Asia Tree felt cold in its heart, not knowing what to do for the moment.

Continue to attack?

It couldn't even scratch the terrifying being's skin, making it pointless.

Talk about 'conditions'?

It couldn't understand a word of what was being said, so how could it negotiate?

As one of the initial ancestors who led the Saint Asia Tree clan to rise in the Forest Plane, it didn't really mind submitting to a stronger power.

Or rather, they were food for a stronger being before finding a path to cultivation through long ages and rising up.

While the ancestor of the Saint Asia Tree pondered how to communicate with the terrifying being before it, a big slap came again.

"Crash—"

The ancestor's tree crown shattered once again.

"Submission, or death?" Sanchez asked unhurriedly, continuing to press.

At that moment, his awareness detected Domenico approaching, and he transmitted, "Speaker Domenico, go help translate elsewhere first; no hurry here."

Domenico: "..."

He was stunned for a full three seconds before realizing the reason for Sanchez's actions. Shaking his head with a wry smile, he no longer approached and instead sought out other councilors.

This guy just wants to play, so let him; it's no big deal anyway.

...

Besides Sanchez's area, in the other twelve battlefields, all Sixth Ring Speakers demonstrated suppression power almost equal to his.

The Fifth Ring Speakers were slightly inferior, as the Saint Asia Trees could resist them a bit more, but only a bit, before being forcefully suppressed.

Domenico moved around the various battlefields, translating the councilors' 'persuasive' words.

Nearly half of the Fifth Tier Saint Asia Trees immediately opted to accept the 'persuasion,' fully accepting the subordinate race regulations proposed by the councilors.

The remaining Saint Asia Trees, having evolved through countless life and death battles, still resisted with pride.

However, facing the hopeless situation, Domenico thought they wouldn't last much longer.

If Speaker Lor completed the cross-plane space transmission array and it wasn't over on this side, he would suggest letting Speaker Lor send these stubborn ones to their doom.

Asking those who have already surrendered to persuade them is not possible.

After all, he could only make Fourth Tier Soul Contracts, not thoroughly controlling Fifth Tier beings.

He worried these beings might feign surrender, later causing trouble when mortals and low-tier wizards arrived.

...

Ten hours later.

In the far west of the Forest Plane.

Lor inscribed the last space rune, flew to the remaining Francis and Peyton, and asked with a smile, "I've already finished over here; are they still not done over there?"

Only Francis and Peyton were left because the other councilors had gone to watch the fun.

Setting up the cross-plane teleportation array clearly wasn't as attractive as the battlefield over there.

"Yes."

Francis nodded, "Some Fifth Tier Saint Asia Trees surrendered right at the start, but there are some stubborn ones that refuse to yield no matter what."

"Domenico previously suggested, once you finish constructing the teleportation array, come here and kill off those hard-headed ones."

"Because he believes these guys are unstable factors, likely to cause damage if mortals and low-tier wizards come."

"Alright, let's go." Lor had no objections; using a few Great Dissolving Techniques wouldn't be troublesome.

...

In the Divine Realm Spatial Layer.

"Either I die, or you perish; don't think I'll accept those crappy terms." A Fifth Tier Saint Asia Tree roared at Yasen, who was situated in the center of the domain.

Its body was firmly wrapped in the vast Fire Element Domain, burning with blazing flames all over, with the Power of Origin being continuously consumed, leaving almost no room for resistance, yet still refusing to submit.

By Yasen's side, Domenico turned and looked at Yasen, saying, "Why not just let it be? Speaker Lor's side should be done soon. Let it have its wish and die."

"Alright then." Yasen shook his head with a wry smile, no longer intending to persuade.

As Domenico said, this kind of Saint Asia Tree is indeed an unstable factor, and might cause greater damage if not careful.

Forcibly subduing it wouldn't be worth the loss.

At that moment, outside Yasen's domain, a spatial rift quietly opened.

Subsequently, Lor, Francis, and Peyton flew out one after another.

"Speaker Yasen, why have you chosen a tough one again?" Lor's lips twitched as he looked at Yasen in the domain.

This guy is as unlucky as ever; his home got blown up because of Hisham, and now he's picked a tough nut, as if all the Wizard Alliance's worst luck befalls him.

It's known that Saint Asia Trees aren't worthless; their branches and leaves contain gentle power, enhancing wizards' physiques.

Once the councilors subdued the Fifth Tier Saint Asia Trees, they belonged to whoever subdued them; if he launched a Great Dissolving Technique at this Saint Asia Tree, chances are nothing would remain, causing significant loss to Yasen.

It seemed Yasen's luck ran out when he obtained that Marvel capable of repairing the Origin Container?

"I didn't want to either, but there's no choice." Yasen sighed.

While speaking, he opened a domain channel, intending to eject the Fifth Tier Saint Asia Tree from the domain.

"Actually, you have a second choice," Lor hastily suggested, "like staying here to guard the plane, suppressing this thing, while I keep an eye on things in the Wizard Plane for you."

"Once Speaker Domenico crafts a Fifth Tier Soul Contract in the future, wouldn't subduing this Saint Asia Tree be a piece of cake?"

If it were anyone else failing to suppress, he wouldn't care much, helping with a Great Dissolving Technique would already be giving face.

But Yasen was different; as long as he could help, he didn't mind lending a hand.

Based on the agreement reached at the previous council meeting, ten planes would be initially developed, with each plane needing a speaker to guard, preventing any unforeseen incidents later on.

The Forest Plane's favorable environment likely made many councilors wanna have a hand in it, yet considering his respect, no one would contest Yasen.

"Thank you so much." Yasen expressed his gratitude continuously.

Since the Abyss invasion, Lor had secretly and openly helped him many times.

Embarrassingly, he found he couldn't help Lor back, as Lor's influence in the Wizard Alliance's discourse power had subtly surpassed Francis's once.

The alliance established initially had gradually turned into unilateral support over time, which made him both gratified and slightly guilty.

"You're at it again." Lor shook his head somewhat helplessly, "Besides my mentor, you're the closest person to me. If I don't help you, who else would I help?"

Yasen was great in every way, except for being overly courteous to him, which made Lor feel a bit uneasy.

The shelter and nurture this person provided him back then remained ingrained in his heart, and offering some assistance within his ability nowadays seemed only natural to him.
