"Mediating the war between us and the Curse Demon?"

The Great World Tree repeated Richard's words, its tone revealing a sense of incredulity.

"Miracle Wizard, you want to mediate the war between us and the Curse Demon." The Great World Tree emphasized, "Are you certain you didn't misspeak?"

Richard nodded calmly: "I didn't say anything wrong. My first purpose in coming here is to mediate the war between the two civilizations."

"Then I'm very curious indeed." The Great World Tree said with interest, "Why do you want to mediate our war?

Our war shouldn't be a good thing for you? If we stop the war, aren't you afraid we would stab you in the back?

Furthermore, in what capacity are you mediating the war? Do you hold a significant position among the Curse Demon?"

The Great World Tree's questioning directly hit the crux of Richard's intention—why the Wizard mediates the war and with what authority.

"I must say, your nature is truly straightforward."

"Wasting time is a bad habit."

Richard chuckled, looking at the Great World Tree, and replied in an unhurried tone: "First, let me answer the first question. Why do we want to mediate the war?

We are mediating the war because the enemy we are fighting possesses the ability to devour war. The war of the entire World Community will become its nourishment..."

Before Richard could finish explaining, an unimaginable mighty pressure erupted from the Great World Tree in front of him.

Under this pressure, Richard himself felt a tinge of stress.

"You say the enemy you are fighting has the ability to devour war?"

The Great World Tree's voice was exceptionally serious, starkly contrasting its previous attitude.

Upon seeing this, Richard felt a surge in his heart. He suddenly remembered that the Titans from the myriad dimensions once said that Titans seemed to use worlds as fortresses.

Could this World Tree be...

Richard suppressed the thoughts in his mind and nodded slightly.

"Yes, the enemy we are fighting possesses the ability to devour war. This enemy is incredibly powerful. We have already allied with three civilizations, but even so, we are at a relative disadvantage."

"Devour war, devour war..."

The Great World Tree muttered in a language Richard could not understand, its pressure rising and falling like tidal waves.

"That monster is ultimately not dead!"

Richard did not interrupt the muttering of the Great World Tree. At this point, he had already confirmed his speculation—the Great World Tree should be a creation of the Titans.

Suddenly, the Great World Tree looked at Richard sharply, its pressure washing over him like a tidal wave.

"How can you withstand that monster? It dared to invade the Star Realm; its power must be close to its peak state.

How can you withstand it?"

Richard replied casually: "Because it was forced into the Star Realm. Several Dominators sacrificed themselves to drive it out of the Star Realm."

The Great World Tree was slightly stunned, then immediately reacted.

"It seems it hasn't been revived for long."

Richard nodded and then asked: "Then, may I know who you are and why you are so knowledgeable about its affairs?"

"Because I have seen it and participated in a war against it," the Great World Tree said softly.

Its gaze at Richard was like looking at a child who had yet to grow up, filled with pity and sorrow.

"That was a million years ago when I was created as a World Fortress by the Shepherd Star Titan Civilization and engaged in a war against it. It was a magnificent war, where the entire World Community, tens of thousands of worlds, served as their battlefield.

Ultimately, the previous civilization defeated that monster.

But I did not expect that the monster wasn't completely dead!"

Listening to these words, Richard sensed something amiss in his heart.

"Do you not know the Predecessor Civilization Alliance's plan?" Richard probed.

"Plan?"

The Great World Tree paused for a moment, then shook its crown, as if shaking its head.

"I am a weapon of war, not a member of the civilization. I cannot know the plans of the civilization's leadership. Moreover..."

The Great World Tree paused momentarily, its voice carrying a trace of disgrace.

"Moreover, I did not participate in the final war. My world was destroyed during the war, and I fell into the Plant Dimension, restoring myself for hundreds of thousands of years before awakening.

When I awoke, the entire World Community had lost all traces of civilization."

Richard nodded slightly, this explanation made sense.

The World Tree didn't know the plan of the Predecessor Civilization Alliance.

"Your guess was slightly off. The Predecessor Civilization Alliance did not eliminate that monster, but sealed it away, waiting for us descendants to do so.

And I am their chosen one."

As he spoke, the void beside Richard rippled, and the Miracle Furnace burning with Miracle Fire slowly floated out from the center of the ripple.

"This is! Supreme Furnace!"

The moment the Great World Tree saw the Miracle Furnace, it recognized its identity.

Although it was a weapon of war, its battlefield was never devoid of the presence of Dominators.

In His impression, the appearance of the Miracle Furnace always signifies the fall of a Civilization Devourer's dominator.

But Richard's demonstration wasn't finished.

"Moreover, I am a Titan."

Richard relinquished control over his body, and for an instant, an imposing aura, both familiar and foreign to the Great World Tree, filled the entire palace.

Under this aura, ancient fragments within the Great World Tree's bloodline were activated, causing the entire tree to straighten upright, respectfully addressing Richard: "World Fortress Number 145, salutes you."

Simultaneously, Richard also straightened up his posture nearly instantly—he too sensed the activation of life information within his bloodline.

With a solemn expression, he replied, "Commander received. It's a pleasure to collaborate with you, World Fortress Number 145."

After the bloodline activation ended, the Great World Tree looked at Richard. The yellow tint in its eyes was gone, leaving only a resolute fighting spirit.

"Unexpectedly, after a million years, I can still fight shoulder to shoulder with a Titan."

Richard also said in surprise, "I didn't expect you clearly have broken limits, yet you didn't abandon this fragment."

"Abandon it?" the voice of the Great World Tree suddenly turned angry, "It is my past, it is the meaning of my past!

Abandon it? I wouldn't abandon it even if I died!"

Richard slightly bowed to express his apology. In the Great World Tree, he saw an obstinacy named old soldier.

The Great World Tree has always lived in that war, never leaving it.

"Since you've experienced that war, there's no need for me to explain much. You should be able to handle the Natural Federation matters.

We need the Alliance."

The Great World Tree shook its form, pulling its roots from the flowerbed, then transformed into a Wooden Titan.

"I can only represent the Tree Spirit, not the entire Natural Federation. The Youming of the Ghost Horror Clan has been trying to persuade me to restart the war.

This guy is also a Breaking Limit Sovereign. Although the breaking limit age is relatively short, the Ghost Horror Clan has the ability to acquire skills from corpses, thus their combat power is not to be underestimated."

Richard raised his eyebrows: "What do you plan to do?"

"Hold a meeting, follow the federation procedures."

"What if he disagrees?"

"He must agree. If he doesn't agree, then there's no need for the Ghost Horror Clan to exist."

The voice of the Great World Tree was incomparably cold; he is an old soldier who survived from the Predecessor Civilization battlefield, more aware than anyone of the fearsome power of a Civilization Devourer.

Before external war, the most crucial thing is to cleanse internally.

If the Ghost Horror Clan is an unstable factor, then there's no need for them to exist!

"Stop, stop, stop," Richard hurriedly interrupted, "Your method is indeed good, but you need to understand, I haven't settled the Curse Demon yet.

Although persuading people to change their perception isn't a short-term task, cultivating a Sovereign takes even more time, not to mention he's also breaking limit."

The Great World Tree looked at Richard and asked, "What do you suggest?"

"Well..." Richard stroked his chin and suddenly asked a somewhat unrelated question.

"Have you conducted any excavation on the Previous Civilization relics?"

The Great World Tree was somewhat puzzled, "Why suddenly ask about this? We indeed have been excavating the Previous Civilization relics."

"Then have you received any information about special situations recently? Like something in the relics suddenly becoming activated."

The Great World Tree shook its head, "No, there's no information whatsoever concerning this from within the federation."

"Then you can mention this matter at your meeting," Richard said with some profound meaning, "Those things were left by the Civilization Devourer for future purposes. We, the Galaxy Drift, even the Abyss and the gods, have reported information on this aspect.

There's no reason why you wouldn't have."

The Great World Tree paused slightly and then responded promptly.

"Are you saying, among us… there's a traitor?"

Richard shook his head: "It's just a possibility. It might also be that the Civilization Devourer is unwilling to display threats, thus allowing you to smoothly join the alliance under pressure."

"...Are you saying that the reason Youming is so eager for war is that he has been tainted?" the Great World Tree suddenly remarked.

Richard glared at Him, slightly annoyed: "If you search for clues with a preconceived notion, everything will seem like a clue."

The Great World Tree remained silent, knowing the rule that, when the commander hasn't made a mistake, do not argue with the commander.

"Let's convene the meeting first," Richard thought for a moment and suddenly said.

"Should be, no one knows your identity right?"

"No one," the Great World Tree shook its head, "My past, no one in the entire Natural Federation knows."

"Then that's good," a flash of wisdom glinted in Richard's eyes.

"In a few days, I'll make a grand visit to you, then you can convene the meeting at that time. Regardless of whether there is a traitor or not, the meeting must be held.

If there's truly a traitor, he will certainly prevent the Natural Federation from joining the Wizard Alliance.

Because the Civilization Devourer's pawns cannot sign the Destiny Contract."

"And what about the Ghost Horror Clan?" the Great World Tree asked.

Richard shrugged: "Let's not worry about that for now. Once we confirm whether there's a traitor, then we'll handle his matters.

Moreover, I have a feeling that if there's really a traitor, they'll definitely exploit the Ghost Horror Clan."
