Chapter 457: Chapter 300: Planting a Cutting of the Moon Ancient Tree, Enlightenment, Birth of Consciousness
Natural, rune-like lunar patterns had already emerged on the young Moon Ancient Tree.
A tranquil, profound aura brimming with abundant Life Force emanated from the branches of the newborn Moon Ancient Tree.
It subtly created a Natural Resonance with the Sky Garden’s fifth effect: Clan Homeland.
"Ma... Master..."
A faint, clumsy, yet incredibly clear thought wave traveled through the link from Resonance of All Things and entered Zhang Yi’s mind.
Based on this link, Zhang Yi instantly identified the source of the consciousness.
It was the Moon Ancient Tree sapling he had just planted! Zhang Yi had used his Divine Exclusive Talent, spending over two million Faith Value to awaken it and grant it its initial Spiritual Intelligence.
The Moon Ancient Tree’s consciousness was like that of a bewildered child who had just learned to speak.
Its thoughts came in fits and starts, yet they were filled with curiosity for this new world, along with boundless adoration and loyalty for the creator who had awakened it and granted it Spiritual Intelligence.
But at this moment, it was also a little confused.
"Master... who am I?"
"Where... am I?"
Its consciousness was fragmented, but it held the first emotions of a pure Soul.
Zhang Yi was overjoyed, but his expression remained impassive.
’To think that this branch of the Moon Ancient Tree gained Spiritual Intelligence the moment I used my Divine Exclusive Talent on it!’
’This undoubtedly demonstrated the excellent potential of this Moon Ancient Tree. It has a chance of becoming a Legendary Clan!’
’Otherwise, a Magic Plant with ordinary potential would never have undergone such a significant transformation.’
’I’ve used my Divine Talent so many times, and the last time this happened was when I awakened the Sun Ancient Tree sapling!’
And having experience with this, Zhang Yi naturally knew how to handle the situation.
Zhang Yi immediately sent gentle, fatherly emotions through the Resonance of All Things link.
"I am your creator, your Father God!"
"You are a sapling of the Moon Ancient Tree. It was I who awakened you and granted you Spiritual Intelligence ahead of schedule."
"This is your future home—the Sky Garden."
"You must swear your allegiance to me. Only then can I allow you to continue growing here."
"..."
Zhang Yi essentially followed a script, slightly modifying the speech he had used to coax the Sun Ancient Tree sapling and delivering it once more.
"Creator... Master... Father God..."
The Moon Ancient Tree sapling repeated, its understanding still hazy.
"Sky Garden... my home..."
The Moon Ancient Tree sapling tried to make sense of it all.
But as time passed, the adoration and loyalty it felt only grew stronger.
"Thank you, Father God, for bestowing wisdom upon me!"
"I can feel the rich moonlight and the nourishment of the soil."
"I swear my allegiance to you!"
[Ding]!
[Event]: The special unit [Moon Ancient Tree] in your territory has sworn allegiance to the great God of Nature. Does the great God of Nature accept the [Moon Ancient Tree]’s allegiance?
"Accept!"
Zhang Yi nodded.
The Moon Ancient Tree sapling’s Spiritual Intelligence was developing at an astonishing rate. It had already begun to perceive its surroundings.
However, Zhang Yi wasn’t alarmed.
’After all, any creature I awaken and grant Spiritual Intelligence to with my Divine Exclusive Talent, regardless of its previous nature, will be eternally loyal to me!’
This was the power of his Divine Exclusive Talent!
"Excellent!"
Zhang Yi praised.
"From now on, you don’t need to worry about anything. Just focus on absorbing Magic Power and nutrients and do your best to grow!"
"In the future, you will have more important things to do!"
Zhang Yi instructed the Moon Ancient Tree sapling.
"Yes, Master!"
"I will do my best to grow in the future to repay your grace!"
The Moon Ancient Tree sapling’s reply was clear and firm.
Immediately, the Moon Ancient Tree sapling stretched its roots deeper, sprouting even more rootlets.
At the same time, it did its best to spread its tough branches and leaves,
striving to absorb the Moonlight that showered down from the [Moon of Serenity] in the sky.
Combined with the innate effects of the [Sky Garden], the Moon Ancient Tree sapling seemed to have grown a little larger!
This was no illusion!
With the two Divine Domain Cards for June now loaded, Zhang Yi gazed at the Sky Garden floating a hundred meters in the air and the Moon Ancient Tree sapling planted within. He was extremely satisfied.
At that moment, news of a giant, floating structure appearing in the Divine Realm spread. The Heroic Clan members in charge of Logistics, like sharks smelling blood in the water, rushed over at top speed, eager to witness the miracle with their own eyes.
Goblin Great Sage Norton drove the jeep he had personally modified recently all the way to the Harvest Plain.
The passenger and back seats of the jeep were loaded with scientific instruments he had hastily brought with him.
It looked as if he was planning to conduct some on-site research.
As his jeep swayed and bumped along at top speed, Goblin Great Sage Norton steered it beneath the Sky Garden. Spotting the Divine Illusion not far away, he hastily slammed on the brakes.
Then he jumped out of the vehicle and knelt on the ground.
"Greetings, My God!"
Zhang Yi’s Divine Illusion, formed from his Divine Power, waved a hand, gesturing for Goblin Great Sage Norton to rise.
Gazing at the [Sky Garden] floating in the distance, Goblin Great Sage Norton spared no words of praise as he spoke to Zhang Yi’s Divine Illusion:
"Perfect levitation!"
"An exquisite energy cycle structure!"
"And this independent Magical Guide propulsion system!"
"This is simply a miracle!"
"Oh, no, it *is* a miracle!"
