Compared to ten years ago, the Forest of Dreams had indeed changed. However, these changes wouldn't be obvious unless one carefully observed them.
As a living forest with its own will, the Forest of Dreams … or perhaps I should say that Amelia herself was constantly expanding her own domain. Perhaps it wouldn't be obvious if one was in the Forest of Dreams, but if one had a satellite image, they would discover that the Forest of Dreams' area was increasing by more than 30% every year. In the past ten years, the Forest of Dreams' area had increased by more than ten times.
Apart from natural growth, the wood spirits were also working hard to expand their forest, or perhaps I should call it their country. This had been their top priority for the past few years.
Back in the day, they had hired warriors to plant seeds in the forest's outskirts to expand the forest.
As time passed, the forests were connected, and the Forest of Dreams' area naturally increased exponentially.
More land meant more natural energy. This also meant that more souls were entering the Forest of Dreams' natural cycle. The number of new wood spirits and their species was also increasing exponentially. Amelia's personal power level was also increasing exponentially.
As the will of an entire world, it could be said that the entire Forest of Dreams was her physical body. All the wood spirits were her children and descendants. Compared to how direct and extreme she had been in the past, the current Amelia was becoming more and more low-key and gentle. She seemed even more terrifying and unfathomable.
"She's probably already reached the so-called Main God level."
I had no doubt about this at all. It was just that the wood spirits' products were becoming more and more inconceivable. In fact, ever since the birth of the Dusk Fruit, which had reached the level of lifespan in the mysteries of life, I viewed her as a new Nature Main God or Life Main God.
The only existence in the Nature Faction who had reached Main God level was the Earth Mother, who had long since lost her will. It was still doubtful if she could be considered a part of the Nature Faction.
At the very least, if a Nature God met with a calamity, it would be impossible to count on her.
The Nature Faction did indeed have many Gods, ranging from moderate to extreme. However, none of them had the ambition to become a ruler. They were generally lacking in aggressiveness (as long as you didn't chop down trees right in front of them). They would usually choose a remote mountain or forest to do whatever they wanted, which made them seem rather lacking in presence.
However, because the Nature Gods were far too ancient and had many worshippers on the surface, all druids and nature mages could be considered part of the Nature Gods' faction. The only obvious weakness of the Nature Gods was that they always lacked top-level combat strength — a Main God level God King.
Previously, the Nature Faction had been trying to be friendly to Amelia, as if they wanted to recruit her into their faction to strengthen their foundations. However, when she displayed her newest creation, the Nature Faction's Gods faintly began to distance themselves.
After all, it was a good thing to have a strong and capable comrade for one's faction, but to have a boss for one's faction, everyone had to think about it.
Amelia didn't say anything. She didn't refuse, nor did she agree. She simply focused on developing her wood spirit race.
I knew that she looked down on the Nature Gods, who were scattered and had many factions within them. She was also waiting for them to offer a better price. If the price was right, it wouldn't be impossible for her to use her name in exchange for great benefits.
As for the difference in the philosophy of life between the two sides, it was actually not a big deal. After all, within the Natural God System, many Gods had their own factions and small circles, so it was not a big deal to have one more.
Even if they couldn't come to an agreement in the end, that was fine. The Seven Virtues all had the foundational power and foundation to ascend to Godhood, and they didn't even have to rely on the original Gods they worshiped. As long as Amelia and the wood spirits were given enough time, they would be able to create their own new Wood Spirit God Faction … And actually, that was exactly what they were doing.
It sounded quite legendary and inconceivable, but since the elves had their own Elven God Faction (which had already collapsed), the humans had their own Holy Light God Faction (which was currently collapsing), and the dwarves also had their own God Faction (which had fallen into decline and merged together with the Nature Faction), the wood spirits naturally had their own God Faction as well.
"I've already seen through Amelia's scheme. She's just trying to rope in able-bodied men. I'm a man, and I definitely won't join a God System that's filled with women."
Alright then, I casually talked nonsense as I strolled around. Basically all the wood spirits in the Forest of Dreams recognized me, which allowed me to enjoy the rare VIP treatment. It actually felt quite nice.
The distant battlefield never showed any signs of stopping. There were Contract Heroes of all species hurrying here and there. Although more than 70% of them were humans, I still saw wood spirits, elves, and beastmen. There were even quite a few gray elves and half-demons.
As expected, being an adventurer was the most inconceivable job class. No matter what species or job class, it was possible for adventurers to travel together.
Some of them had just returned from the battlefield, while others were about to enter the battlefield. Whether or not they could return alive would depend on their own power levels and companions.
The Forest of Dreams had always been the most popular battlefield for Contract Heroes. Every day, there would be an incalculable number of visitors. Apart from the wood spirits' precious products here, the most fundamental reason was that the Forest of Dreams was the safest dimensional battlefield.
Yes, it was the safest. Even if the enemy had been an endless army of undead, and the enemy now was an endless army of devils, this was still the safest place for Contract Heroes to farm points.
The reason? There was no other reason. The Forest of Dreams would always be there. Even the enemy SemiGod level 4 existences wouldn't dare to take a single step inside. This was a safe place to rest, heal, and run away if they couldn't win. This was something that no other battlefield would even dare to dream of.
The most dangerous part of the dimensional battlefield wasn't the never-ending battles of attrition. Rather, it was the fact that you couldn't choose your opponent at all. If you met a level 4 existence that was far stronger than you, it would be impossible for you to win.
Right now, I was currently using the Forest of Dreams as a cover to hide from the enemies who were hunting me down everywhere.
"As expected, having an absolutely safe shelter really makes me happy …"
"Oh no, the frontlines have been broken through!"
Hearing this abnormal scream, my first reaction was that there was a traitor, which was absolutely impossible. My second reaction was that my jinxed mouth wasn't salvageable. Perhaps I should wear an iron jaw in the future so that I could completely shut up.
"Or, from a different perspective, it's a weapon of the law of karma. In the future, I'll always curse — no, praise my enemies …"
Common sense dictated that the Forest of Dreams should be impossible to break through. However, what was happening right now made the impossible possible.
Outside the Forest of Dreams, the newly born trees were dying in large numbers. The entire Forest of Dreams was trembling slightly as if it were a creature in pain.
There was only one explanation for this scene.
"Something happened to Amelia? Who could possibly harm her? "
I was truly astonished. In my mind, Amelia was definitely one of the most difficult opponents to deal with in the entire world. Her nature and life powers weren't particularly offensive, but they were highly effective at countering her. Plant lifeforms' souls were also quite unique. None of my four magic swords were suitable for dealing with plants that were filled with life. Not to mention, Amelia had powerful physical and magical combat abilities. As long as I got close to her, I really couldn't think of a way to deal with her.
Before I could regain my senses, Rosa, one of the Seven Virtues, appeared behind me.
"Dad, Mom was beaten up by Uncle. Mom wants you to take revenge for her."
I was instantly stunned. What was this all about?
Uncle? My brother? Cavendish?
Wasn't he looking for trouble with the Chaos Girls? Why was he looking for Amelia, who was obviously incredibly difficult to deal with? Wait a moment, there was only one explanation that made sense …
"Amelia is also a Chaos Girl?"
