The Martial Unity

Chapter 2118 Purveyor of Harmony

The Elder Tree was inhuman in its mind.

That was, to a certain degree, self-evident. But Rui had specified that it was more different than one might expect. For one, it was not capable of anger and hatred. This was good on the surface, but Rael had absolutely no idea how that would impact their relationship. This uncertainty was something that was intolerable for someone who operated with certainty of success.

Furthermore, none of the literature on the biosphere of the Beast Domain gave him what he needed to know, for it did not record anything about an intelligent tree so massive that it dwarfed mountain ranges.

That was why he had consulted the only other person who knew more about the Elder Tree than Rui.

"Ah, the Elder Tree species," the Divine Doctor mused. "Fascinating species of flora, really. The most interesting flora lifeform after this one." He gazed at the alien lifeform with deep curiosity.

"Be that as it may…" Emperor Rael's eyes shifted back. "…I am here to ask you about the Elder Tree, not the alien specimen."

"Hm, temperamentally, it's a creature that can be characterized by high-trait agreeableness and openness. It would score zero as far as trait neuroticism goes," the Divine Doctor absentmindedly remarked. "I know plenty more, but nothing pertaining to what you surely care about."

No amount of prodding could draw much more information.

"It is highly willing and able to conduct agreements," he told Rael. "It doesn't engage in charity beyond the Garden of Salvation, but it also does not disenfranchise. I would suspect that as a species that is part of the plant kingdom that nourishes all other life, it is fundamentally devoid of predatory instincts. Yet, simultaneously, it does not trust without reason too."

That was reassuring, considering that it was echoed by his son, who was also an insightful man. Together with that, Emperor Rael formulated an approach to building a rapport with the Elder Tree.

Straightforward sincerity.

This was especially the case when Rui had already established
