Chapter 4060
Through their simple conversation, James learned about the general history of the Space Race. He also learned
about the Empyrean herb that had been left by a powerhouse of the Human Race long ago in the Space Race's
plantation. No one knew this human’s name, but there were records of him in the Space Race's ancient books
being addressed as the Holy Emperor.
Unfortunately, the Empyrean herb in their plantation could not be consumed by the Space Race.
Haestra sighed and said, "It was supposed to be good that a magical Empyrean herb was growing on our
plantation. We wanted to wait for it to fully mature before contacting the Human Race's powerhouses. We were
planning to hand it back to them. Unexpectedly, the Soul Race had set its eyes on it and sent an army to attack us.
We've been defending against them for a while. We’ve suffered many casualties, and many of our remaining
soldiers are injured."

James was curious about the Empyrean herb.
'How special is this herb? Is it only consumable by humans?' thought James.
"Sure. This way, please."
Haestra gestured for them to follow. Then, he stood up and led James and Dahlia to the plantation. The Space
Race's plantation was massive and covered an area much bigger than an average-sized planet. In the plantation
were countless herbs, many of which were Marcocosm herbs.
As soon as James entered the plantation, he saw colorful Empyrean herbs and fruits. Their sweet aroma suffused
the air of the plantation. Heastra led James to the center of the plantation. The central region was an open space.
The soil on the ground was colorful, and a small, mystical tree was growing in the middle.
The tree was only one meter tall, with only one main trunk and no branches. A few translucent milky-white leaves
grew out from the trunk. The leaves had stripes, which could be clearly seen. A single fruit could also be seen
growing from the top of the tree. It was the size of a fist and had an oval shape. It had milky-white color and
emitted a faint glow.
James sensed a magical power emanating from the tree as he got closer. His pores immediately stretched open,
and his cells grew active. At that moment, his mind and body relaxed, making him feel refreshed.
"What?" James was surprised.
"What wonderful power."
Haestra and some of the Space Race's powerhouses could not help but glance at James inquisitively.
Haestra pointed to the small tree and said, 'That plant grew from the mysterious seed that the Holy Emperor buried
in our plantation. After many years, it eventually grew into this small tree."
Another respected elder of the Space Race piped in. "As soon as it bloomed, we've been sensing very mysterious
power from it. We’ve searched through all our ancient books and finally found some vague information about it."
Dahlia asked, "What exactly is this tree?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHaestra explained, "According to our ancient records it’s called Tree of Life, whereas its fruit is called Fruit of Life.
Its fruit holds powerful Life Power.
"It can only be consumed when one is weak and exhausted. Consuming it when one is full of energy would backfire
and result in the opposite effect.
'The vitality and potential of the Human Race had been tampered with and was cut short. After reaching a certain
level, humans can't improve any further. That's why I said the Fruit of Life is useless to us."
James’ eyes immediately lit up. He struggled to break through the Omniscience Path's Sixth Stage and had an even
harder time breaking into the Seventh Stage. Now that he discovered the Fruit of Life, he could obtain abundant
Life Power and unlock more of his body's potential.
James immediately rushed toward the tree. Before the Space Race's creatures could react, he had already plucked
the Fruit of Life.
Everyone watched James in shock.
James firmly held onto the fruit and looked at the
flabbergasted powerhouses. Then, he grinned at them. " Didn’t you say it’s useless to your race and would only
benefit humans? Since I'm a human, I’ll happily put it to good use."
Haestra returned to his senses and looked at James helplessly.
