"To deal with a sentient tree like you who turns on others, of course I have to use some schemes."
Lin Yifan was not humble, admitting that he had planned this.
"Do you keep your word or not?"
The Enlightenment Tree was heartbroken, never expecting Lin Yifan to play a word game. It was too deceitful.
"I, Lin Yifan, always keep my promises, never deceiving. Once I reach the True Master Realm, I'll let you out."
"But we agreed before, to let me be free, not just to let me out."
The Enlightenment Tree refused to admit defeat, struggling in its dying moments.
"Aren't you free now? Here, you can go wherever you want, I won't stop you."
"This Secret Realm is limited, like a cage, there's no freedom here."
"The outside world is also like a cage. Why didn't you say there's no freedom there?" Lin Yifan retorted.
"To me, the outside world is free." The Enlightenment Tree replied.
"To me, this Secret Realm is free."
"You... you're clearly messing with me."
