"No, I don't agree."
At this moment, Starlight Grass Loli jumped out and voiced her objection: "The boss sacrificed his life for us. As younger siblings, how can we not try to save him? At the very least, we must ensure the boss's safety. Otherwise, what kind of little siblings are we? We would be dishonoring the boss's sacrifice."
"No, I did not sacrifice."
Loli Chen Xi, who was standing next to her, was speechless. She really wanted to tell Starlight Grass that she wasn't dead—so why was she considered dead by the Starlight Grass? She had already sacrificed herself, yet here they were, still talking as though she was gone.
But she also felt a little relieved. It seemed her number 2 subordinate was quite loyal, much better than Star Tree, that second-rate boy. As soon as she "died," Star Tree immediately jumped out to seize power and try to usurp the throne.
"Shut up, Starlight Grass."
Star Tree Loli shouted, "I understand your feelings very well. The boss's sacrifice is something none of us younger siblings want to see, but it has already happened, and there's nothing we can do about it. You ask why the boss sacrificed himself—wasn't it for our safety? If we blindly leave here and get eaten by other chaos demon gods, would the boss's sacrifice still have meaning? His death would be in vain. Can we go against the boss's last wish like that?"
She put on a heartbroken expression, as if she had fallen into an endless pit of grief, the kind that made life unbearable.
"Yes, Star Tree is right."
"That's right. If we die, we die in vain. We would be failing the boss's wishes."
"It seems we can't just leave and go looking for the World Tree's boss."
A group of little Lolis nodded in agreement. These words made perfect sense. The World Tree had sacrificed himself to keep them alive. But if they stupidly went out and sacrificed themselves, the World Tree's sacrifice would be meaningless. They shouldn't engage in such foolishness.
Loli Chen Xi's face darkened to the point of near-blackness. Star Tree is so damn frustrating. She had said all that just to prevent other younger siblings from looking for the World Tree.
Although what Star Tree said made logical sense, emotion was another matter. Chen Xi was now tempted to beat up Star Tree.
"Do you want to go out and meet them?" Gu Chuan suggested. If this continued, Star Tree might succeed in usurping the throne. It had to be said that Star Tree had the potential to be a traitor and was clearly the number one traitor. His incitement was far too strong.
"No, I want to see how many loyal and treacherous ministers there are in the entire court," Loli Chen Xi gritted her teeth.
At this moment, Starlight Grass Loli shook her head again: "No, I still need to confirm whether the boss is really dead before I can be at ease." She was determined to find the World Tree.
"Starlight Grass, you're really stubborn. How about this? I can make a decision and let you reclaim extra land in this world. You can treat it as your own territory. What do you think?" Star Tree Loli rolled her eyes. Since intimidation didn't work, she tried luring instead.
If Starlight Grass really found the World Tree and brought the former emperor back, what would happen to the current emperor? What would she do with herself? Was she supposed to abdicate?
Therefore, she had to restrain this behavior.
"Reclaim extra land?"
At hearing this, Starlight Grass Loli's eyes immediately lit up, and she nodded eagerly. "Alright, I see. I firmly support Star Tree as the new leader."
She immediately chose to betray them.
As a starlight grass, a grass-type plant demon, she had a natural instinct to expand her territory. What she wanted most was to let the starlight grass spread across every inch of land.
The problem had been that the World Tree had suppressed her before, limiting her territory to only a part of the area. This was unavoidable, as there were so many plant chaos demon gods, each vying for their own piece of land. Starlight Grass couldn't occupy all of it by herself.
But now that Star Tree had offered her more territory, Starlight Grass rebelled without hesitation. After all, this was a huge benefit—one that even the World Tree couldn't have offered her if it returned.
"Despicable and shameless, this unscrupulous Starlight Grass," Loli Chen Xi muttered, her anger rising. She had thought Starlight Grass was loyal, but she never expected her to be bought off by Star Tree so easily.
The relationship they had built over so many years was nothing compared to a little piece of territory.
"There's also the Pomo Tree. You love to eat soil, right? I can promise to provide you with twice as much chaotic breath loam as before."
Before Loli could speak, Star Tree Loli acted first and made her offer.
"Well, I'm a big fan of the Star Tree," Demon Tree Loli immediately agreed, her eyes lighting up. If she could get more chaotic breath loam, she would grow faster. She didn't hesitate to support Star Tree as the new boss.
"We support it too," the other little Lolis said in unison. Seeing that the Star Tree's confidantes had agreed, they too followed suit and expressed their support for Star Tree to become the new boss.
"These spineless fellows," Loli Chen Xi gritted her teeth. She never thought her two loyal subordinates would be swayed by a little soil. It was utterly unreasonable.
She was so furious that she didn't know what to say. Her anger was about to explode.
