Dark Mother Plant was a little speechless, "Actually, you could have said it a little more obscurely."

Its slightly trembling branches seemed to express its dissatisfaction.

Jiang Che said it so directly, and it felt weird in its heart.

After all, it has always carefully guarded this secret, and now that it is exposed so bluntly, it makes it feel insecure.

"There's no one else here, so what's there to pretend?" Jiang Che didn't care.

There was frankness in his eyes. In his opinion, since there was no one else present, there was no need to hide anything.

The dark mother plant was silent. Although she said that, she felt it was weird that the secret she had kept for so long was spoken out so casually.

Maybe it’s because it’s a dark forest and has always heard a lot of secrets through the surrounding trees, so it always feels uneasy now.

As the Dark Forest, it understands that walls have ears, but Jiang Che, as a human, does not understand!
The Dark Mother Plant muttered to itself.

Jiang Che felt a little anxious. If the Dark Forest's target was the various lords, then Ding Ning and the others would always be in danger.

He began to worry about Ding Ning's safety, and various possible dangerous situations kept emerging in his mind.

But when he thought about the fact that he was also parasitized by the Dark Forest and nothing happened to him for the time being, he knew that the Dark Forest must have its own purpose.

These forests will not stop until they achieve their goal.

Jiang Che fell into deep thought. He had to find out the purpose of the Dark Forest as soon as possible so that he could find a solution and protect himself and those around him.

"How can you fight back?" Jiang Che looked at the dark forest, with a calculating gleam in his eyes.

He knew that in order to protect Ding Ning and others, he had to get the Dark Forest on his side and fight against other dark mother plants together.

"No way." Dark Mother Plant shook her head. "I have lost my qualifications. Unless you obtain the throne, I cannot rejoin the battlefield."

It can help other mother plants, but it has already withdrawn and does not want to be a dog for other mother plants.

The Dark Mother Plant whispered, "At present, only when the current king dies will the new throne become vacant, and you will have the opportunity to obtain the throne."

Jiang Che frowned, because this was not easy.

Dark Forest chuckled, with a hint of pride and cunning in his tone, "I have been paving the way for you."

It excitedly introduced to Jiang Che, "Black Crow sent people here to die, not because of any other calculations, but because I tricked Black Crow into coming here to feed you and let you grow."

Jiang Che was stunned. He didn't expect that Black Crow was one of the targets of the plot. "Won't the rest of the Dark Forest tell Black Crow these reasons?"

He couldn't help but wonder whether the Dark Forest's plan could really go so smoothly.

Dark Forest said disdainfully, "They all have their own purposes and will definitely not tell you."

"What's more, I contacted Black Crow secretly." His tone was full of disdain.

Jiang Che remained silent and stood there quietly, his eyes revealing complex emotions.

He now didn't dare to believe the words of the Dark Mother Plant at all. These things had been plotting all along, which made him full of vigilance.

He recalled his communications with the Dark Mother Plant. Every word seemed to hold a hidden meaning, and every move might have been a carefully planned layout.

He even couldn't tell whether the words he thought he had found out were deliberately said to him by the other party or were really found out by him.

This uncertainty was like a fog, shrouding his mind and making him feel extremely confused.

Black Crow must have thought that the information he knew was all discovered by himself, but the truth is that his information was deliberately told by the Dark Mother Plant. "Is the news that ten copies have been certified true?" Jiang Che asked.

"Yes!" After a moment's silence, the dark mother plant spoke in a decisive tone. The tiny branches seemed to tremble slightly, as if to emphasize the certainty of the answer.

"You can't lie to the lord about some news. You can only tell the truth."

Jiang Che nodded, because he also realized that this was the truth.

His mind raced as he analyzed the meaning behind the news.

If he wasn't telling the truth, Black Crow wouldn't be so easily deceived.

He was sure that the mother plant had not deceived him.

But these mother plants undoubtedly did not take this path. "So there is more than one path to the throne?"

Jiang Che continued to ask, his eyes flickering with thought.

This time, the dark mother plant did not refuse hypocritically, nor did it say anything nonsense.

It continued in a calm voice: "Yes, so we can all work towards the throne using different paths."

"Because the paths we each take are the most suitable for ourselves." The dark mother plant further explained, its tone revealing a persistence in its own choices.

It has no way to follow the path that Jiang Che and his team took to complete the entire copy. They have their own way.

Jiang Che fell into deep thought, and began to think about the words of the Dark Mother Plant.

“Every throne has an owner. If you want to grab the position, then the lord in front of you will only die.” The dark mother plant said as its branches swayed.

A branch poked Jiang Che between his eyebrows. Jiang Che did not move, thinking about its words.

"Next, I will let the Black Crow send more people to die, and then devour them all, and finally devour the Black Crow itself." The Dark Mother Plant's voice was cold, and its tone was full of ambition and calculation.

Jiang Che recalled the information that Gray Crow, Black Crow's subordinate, had been recording in his territory.

He still remembered very clearly how Gray Crow tried to break through the levels in his own copy. Fanaticism and madness filled the human wearing the crow mask.

There was a strong desire burning in his eyes, and every move he made was full of determination and courage.

“What if I didn’t kill Black Crow and succeeded in completing ten copies?” Jiang Che wondered.

This method seems to allow you to reach a higher position directly without having to reach the throne.

His mind was full of questions, and he wondered what the consequences would be if he chose another path.

"Then you reach the top. After he understands the rules of your copy and successfully passes it, he can take your place." The Dark Mother Plant answered without hesitation.

Its words reveal a familiarity and control over the rules.

Jiang Che suddenly discovered that the dark mother plant did not lie.

"There are several positions above the throne."

After asking this question, the Dark Mother Plant just paused and said, "Let's get to the end first. There's no point in asking these questions if you die on the road."

It gave the black crow another sound.

"Let your men come over to break through the level, and release the energy in Jiang Che's copy. Only in this way, after he dies after breaking through the level, it will be easier for you to devour in the future." (End of this chapter)
