Hearing the words of the Miracle Tree, a confused look appeared on Nathan's face.

"Huh? Informed? What do you mean?"

[Didn't the control terminal give you the right to be the leader of the camp?]

The Miracle Tree has also sounded puzzled at this time.

"Control terminal?" Nathan thought about the monitor made of tree branches and roots, "Is it that thing back in the room?"

[Yes, did you not see anything?]

Nathan nodded, "Yes, it indeed told me that I will become the Leader of the Camp because of some rule."

[Then, didn't it also tell you about the Ceremony?]

Scratching his head, Nathan an embarrassed look, "Well, I might have caught something about a ceremony starting but, I did not really look into it much since I felt a commotion happening in here."

[Oooh~ So, that's what happened. Well, since you know nothing about the Ceremony, let me explain it to you.] The Miracle Tree kindly said.

Then, it proceeds with telling Nathan about the Ceremony.

Basically, the Ceremony is a tradition in this Naeco Camp which symbolizes the succession for the leadership of the Camp.

However, the Ceremony is not just a simple tradition. It is also to help strengthen the ability of the new Leader so that everyone can live safely in this region.

Using the Tree of Life or what Nathan and the Spirits know as Miracle Tree, the Leader's physical power will be stimulated to become stronger by multiple times.

It can also help the Leader awaken or strengthen his Soul Talent, greatly enhancing the safety of the camp.

And Nathan, as the new Leader was of course obligated to go through the Ceremony process.

The Ceremony was what Nathan thought of as an attack from the Miracle Tree earlier.

It was also the reason that Nathan's power level and his Soul Talent's tier advanced!

Hearing all this, Nathan was astonished after hearing everything from the Miracle Tree itself!

Feeling giddy, he looked at the Miracle Tree and said, "I already thought tha you're pretty awesome when Natura first told me about your ability. But now after learning more from you, I can't help but think that I still underestimated you before."

The light in Nathan's eyes is almost blinding as he stares at the Miracle Tree.

[You're an interesting human.] The tree chuckled lightly while looking at Nathan's face.

"You're interesting too!" Said Nathan, then he suddenly frowned, "By the way, why do you know so many things? Didn't I just plant you earlier?"

The Miracle Tree became silent.

Confused, Nathan called it, "Hello? Are you still there?"

[Yes, I am here, human child.] The voice sounded on his head again.

"Then, why did you not answer my question?"

The tree rustled as if a gentle wind passed by.

A sigh echoed in Nathan's head, [Sigh… It is just a long boring story. But I'll tell you anyway.]

Nathan nodded and waited expectantly.

The Miracle Tree then told him it's story.

From it's words, it was not actually a 'newborn' tree but more of like someone that has reincarnated.

In the past, it was the target of worship, it was what Nathan saw in the images in his head.

The gigantic Miracle Tree.

But an unfortunate tragedy has befallen into the camp and even she was not able to escape it.

In the end, she was reduced back into a seedling that can't do anything but wait for someone to plant it.

The Miracle Tree did not give much details to the story, but Nathan can't help but be surprised at the truth that he learned.

At this time, as Nathan is still immersed in his emotions, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrates.

*Bzzzt! Bzzzt!*

He snapped out of his daze and took the phone out of his pocket.

Looking at it, it was just the alarm that he set at 6 PM to make sure he'll have the time to get back before dinner.

"Oh, it's already my time to go." saying that, Nathan looked at the Miracle Tree and said, "Hey, I'll be going for now. I hope we can talk again next time."

With a sad sigh, the Miracle Tree said, [That is unfortunate, human child. After this time, as I have consumed quite a lot of energy for the Ceremony, I will be sleeping for a while.]

"Oh, is that so?" Said Nathan, sounding a bit sad.

After they talked for a while more, Nathan said his goodbye and left the space.

Appearing back into the control room, Nathan looked around curiously at the things in it for a while before leaving.

Just like before, Nathan took off his clothes first before he dove into the water and swam up into the surface.

"Puaw!"

Leaving the water, he shook off the droplets of water on his body before wearing back his clothes.

It might be because he now has better strength than before, but Nathan felt that the journey down the mountain feels more relaxing.

Nathan passed by a supermarket and bought something to cook for dinner before driving home.

Several minutes later, Nathan arrived home.

After parking his car, he walked inside and dropped the things he bought at the kitchen.

"Hmm, my body feels a bit sticky. I should go and wash properly before cooking dinner."

Saying so, Nathan went to the bathroom and carefully washed every inch of his body.

"Now, I feel much better!"

Coming out of the bath, Nathan felt refreshed.

A hot bath really helps get rid of the fatigue after a long tiring day.

Walking to the kitchen, Nathan wears an apron and proceeds to cook tonight's dinner.

It did not take for him to finish and all the food was placed on the table.

"Everything looks good." He said looking at the dishes he made with a happy smile, "I should go call Natalie now."

He took off his apron and went upstairs.

Knocking on Natalie's room, Nathan said, "Tal, the food is ready, come down and let's eat."

Just standing there, Nathan waited for Natalie to come out.

But he frowned after not hearing any sound inside.

"Tal?"
