This Holy Knight is So Despicable!

CHAPTER 304: CHAPTER 273: THE MYSTERY OF THE DIVINE KING’S FALL (SEEKING MONTHLY TICKET)
Joanna only felt her cheeks burning and her head spinning, her whole body weak and powerless.
Even though she was extremely shy, she couldn’t escape from Lette’s domineering embrace, so she resigned herself to nestling in his arms, trying her best not to look at Afra and the others.
Afra was also dumbfounded by Lette’s action, murmuring with a complex expression.
"You two could at least be considerate of others."
"Why?"
Lette showed no embarrassment at all, instead openly hugging Joanna.
"It’s not something shameful!"
"Alright, alright, you’re impressive."
Afra brought two trembling Life Goddesses into the hall, pointing at Lette.
"See, I told you to let me deliver the message. You insisted on talking to him yourselves!
Go ahead, just be careful."
Lette frowned slightly, "Don’t make it sound like I’m some dangerous entity that needs to be contained."
"Not dangerous? Even the Goddess has fallen for you!"
"Shoo, shoo, go play elsewhere."
Lette handed the Joana in his arms to Afra, and stood with hands behind his back in front of the Nora sisters.
"I suppose Afra has already told you the general situation."
"Y-yes, Mr. Wright. Lady Afra already said that the Ancient Tree of Life is blooming, and there is the seal on the Tower of Truth."
"So, what do you think? If you want to leave, I can..."
"Mr. Wright, we’re not leaving."
Elder sister Nora’s tone was resolute, "Our father taught us that we should not retreat when we ought to stand up.
We are gods, if gods flee, then this world is truly doomed."
Lette couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, reassessing the delicate sisters before him.
"Though I don’t know your father, I think he is an incredible god. Let me pay him a tribute."
"Thank you, Mr. Wright, if father were to know, he would surely be delighted."
Nora quickly returned the gesture, and Noi smiled and nodded slightly.
"So, do you have any good solutions or suggestions for the blooming incident of the Tree of Life?"
"Yes! Find the Divine Crown of the Fierce Sun King."
"Hmm... Your father’s divine artifact?"
"Yes!"
Nora’s expression was very firm, then as if she remembered something, she hastily waved her hand, "Mr. Wright, I’m not trying to use you to find this treasure.
I say this because this divine artifact can truly solve the blooming of the Tree of Life event.
The Divine Crown of the Fierce Sun King can make the Tree of Life evolve again!"
"Evolve again?"
"Evolve again!"
"...I mean, explain what evolving again means."
Nora gave an awkward smile, "Sorry. It’s like this, you may know, the Tree of Life itself is a branch of the World Tree.
It’s the one we gave to Afra once.
Of course, that one was too small and lacked sufficient energy; it didn’t meet the criteria for evolving into the Ancient Tree of Life.
The suitable branch, after being manipulated and catalyzed by the God of Life, could become the Ancient Tree of Life.
It can help us better manage believers and harvest faith.
But this kind of Ancient Tree of Life is incomplete.
As you can see, for us Gods of Life, it is a very convenient helper.
But for the world it takes root in, it is undeniably a poisonous weed.
It twists the law of life and siphons energy from the world.
Because of its existence, the world’s life force will inevitably become imbalanced, causing various natural disasters.
This runs counter to the pursuit of the Life God System."
Lette nodded slightly after hearing this, "Indeed, it is strange for the Life God System to create such a desecration of life."
"Yes, our father once told us in our childhood, the Ancient Tree of Life is actually a failed creation, an incomplete creation.
This creation was supposed to be discarded, but later other gods in the system, blinded by interests, used it on a large scale despite the prohibitions.
Because it was indeed effective and could help the Life God System take advantage during pasturing.
Eventually, the prohibition just fizzled out.
After all, there were too many competitors outside the Life God System."
Nora couldn’t help but glance at the Holy Light Goddess Afra as she said this.
"So, evolve again?"
"Oh, sorry."
Nora chuckled and continued, "Although the Ancient Tree of Life has been used extensively, the Life God System has continuously been working on its improvement and perfection.
Just recently...
Not long ago for gods, the Life God System finally developed a new substitute.
The new Divine Tree possesses all the functions of the Ancient Tree of Life and will not interfere with the current world’s life law.
At the same time, while obtaining the world’s life force, it will also bring great benefits back to the world!
Just like real trees.
They draw nutrients from the earth, but they also nourish it in return.
Planting a tree does not impoverish the land, but makes it more fertile!
It’s a win-win symbiotic relationship!"
Lette frowned deeply, "Such a good thing exists? It’s unlikely, energy cannot appear out of nowhere..."
Nora nodded, "Yes, this new Divine Tree is harmless and has fully functional abilities.
However, its efficiency is much lower than the previous Ancient Tree of Life, and its growth cycle is longer.
This makes many gods in the Life God System very dissatisfied.
They are unwilling to give up the original Ancient Tree of Life, but my father believes continuing to use the Ancient Tree of Life is a desecration of life, and the whole system must implement the new Divine Tree.
Then... internal strife broke out within the Life God System.
Those rebels sabotaged our father in this world and destroyed all related information about the new Divine Tree.
However, we know that father left a piece of information hidden in his divine artifact.
As long as we can find his Divine Crown, then we’ll have the method to advance the new Divine Tree.
At that time, we just need to let this Ancient Tree of Life advance, and the new Divine Tree will override the original rewrite of the life law by the Ancient Tree of Life."
Lette nodded slightly, "Understood, Life God Tree version 1.0 has serious loopholes, now we only need to install version 2.0 to directly cover the errors.
This is indeed a good solution.
But... do you know where your father’s divine artifact is?
The Fierce Sun King has fallen long ago, and it’s no secret that his Divine Crown fell into this world.
I imagine many forces have searched openly and secretly over the years, yet to no avail.
Granted you’re his daughters, can you guarantee that you can find it?"
"Of course!"
Elder sister Nora nodded confidently, "Because the Divine Crown of the Fierce Sun King has always been..."
"Always been? Where?"
Nora pointed beyond the temple, "In the sun."
