As Abel chanted, one-thousandth of the power of life flowed out from the heart of the green tree and entered the 'tree man summon' spell pattern in front of him.
The 'tree man summon' spell pattern emitted a green light. As soon as the green light appeared, all the ancient trees around couldn't help but shake.
They instinctively wanted to be favored by the green light. They instinctively felt that it was the energy that could change them.
At this time, Abel was fully focused on casting. This spell was previously cast with the help of the tree of life, but now he was casting it alone. He had to carefully control it to only one ancient tree, so he couldn't afford to be distracted.
The complexity of the 'tree man summon' spell made it the most difficult spell he had ever cast.
Of course, with the skill tree on Hradik's cube, it was impossible to make a mistake during the casting process. The pattern was automatically drawn, but if he wanted to grow stronger, he couldn't always rely on the skill tree to help him cast spells.
The green light of the 'tree man summon' spell pattern reached its peak. Afterward, it turned into a green light wave and rushed towards the ancient tree in front of him.
The green light wave entered the ancient tree, and the ancient tree's instinctive agitation became quiet. However, it was only quiet for a second before it began to tremble.
Afterward, the branches of the ancient tree began to shrink and merge. Part of it turned into two arms, and the other part turned into armor to protect the body.
Afterward, the roots of the ancient tree were pulled out from the ground. The roots also continued to shrink and merge until they finally turned into two legs.
On the upper part of the trunk of the ancient tree, a pair of closed eyes appeared, followed by a nose and a mouth.
This tree man seemed to be deliberately controlling its height. In addition, the ancient tree itself wasn't a particularly tall tree, so it transformed into a tree man that was about 10 meters tall.
The extra branches turned into a huge helmet on top of the tree man to protect its head.
There was no need to fight. The tree man just stood there, and Abel could clearly feel its power. It was many times stronger than the tree men he summoned before.
At this moment, the treant opened its eyes. Its eyes were very lively. It was not like he was facing a muddle-headed treant that was summoned. Instead, he felt like he was facing a real intelligent life.
The ancient tree kneeled on one knee and said in a hoarse voice, "Tree shepherd, according to the ancient law, you have given me wisdom. I will follow you and fight for you!"
Abel was stunned. This was completely different from what he imagined. The 'tree man summon' spell just now didn't just give the ancient tree man's body, but it also enchanted it.
He remembered the description of the ancient tree shepherds he read in the elven royal library. There was a profession called tree shepherd. Tree shepherds could summon tree men and wander with them to find water.
If necessary, the tree shepherds would command the tree man to fight, and the tree man would become powerful warriors.
It was said that in ancient times, the Treant Shepherds were the most powerful existences because they could command a tidal wave of Treants to start a war.
Tree men were not afraid of any attacks. No matter how serious their injuries were, as long as they took root in the ground, they could recover.
In the past, he thought that this class was just like the last time he summoned the treant. He wanted the trees to turn into treants to fight for him, but the treants didn't have any intelligence. Once the battle was over, they would turn back into trees.
However, the tree man in front of him was different. He could clearly feel that the tree man's body was absorbing energy from the outside world to maintain its balance.
In other words, the tree man in front of him could maintain its tree man form. It didn't need to turn back into a tree man.
Abel asked, "Ancient tree man, you are the first tree man I've summoned. What abilities do you have?"
"Tree shepherd, I can use great strength to attack enemies. I can consume my own branches to attack from a distance. I can secrete sap to defend against fire. I can use water to recover. These are my fighting abilities!
I can also affect all the plants within a kilometer radius around me, making them grow more luxuriantly. I can also improve the water source, improving the water quality. I can also change the soil within a kilometer radius, making it more fertile! "The Treant replied in a deep voice.
"I need to take you away from here to another place. Are you willing?" Abel asked again.
He could feel that since he summoned the treant in front of him with the 'treant summon' spell, there was a special connection between him and the treant. This connection allowed him to cancel the summon at any time and turn the treant back into an ancient tree.
Originally, according to this relationship that was equivalent to an advanced contract, he could directly take the Treant away. However, due to the wisdom that the Treant displayed, he maintained his respect for it.
"Tree shepherd, your wish is my command!" The tree man replied in a low voice.
Abel nodded. He didn't immediately put the tree man back into the portal beast ring. Instead, he took the tree man towards the teleportation station.
He wanted to see how the tree man moved. The tree man he summoned this time was beyond his expectations. There were too many unknowns.
Abel walked in the front, and the tree man followed behind him.
Abel used his power of the will to sense the tree man's movement. Since it was 10 meters tall, there were always trees and trees blocking its way.
The tree man didn't use its body to force its way forward. Its legs kept changing. Sometimes they separated, sometimes they merged, and sometimes they turned into countless tiny roots. It just kept moving forward.
Along the way, it didn't damage a single tree or tree.
When they arrived at the teleportation station, Abel opened up a portal in the portal beast ring.
"Ancient tree man, go in. I'll take you away from here," he said to the tree man.
The treant obediently entered the black tunnel in the monster ring.
Abel immediately returned to Rogge's camp through the portal and returned to the golden castle.
He didn't let the tree man out in the golden castle. Instead, he left the golden castle and flew towards the mountain below.
He landed on the mountain peak. There were all kinds of flowers blooming there. These were the easiest and fastest growing plants to grow in the Battlecry Plateau.
It would take a long time to fill the Battlecry Plateau with trees.
Abel found a flat ground and let the tree man out of the portal beast ring.
The tree man walked out of the portal beast ring, and its giant body lifted off the ground.
It seemed like the tree man wasn't used to flying like this. It was trying its best to control its body. Abel sensed that it was curious.
Abel wasn't curious at all. He knew what was going on.
The tree man's power was beyond the legendary rank. It had the ability to fly in this world.
It took a while for the tree man to regain control of its body. Finally, it stood on the ground.
"Tree shepherd, this land is undergoing a huge change. An unknown force is affecting this land!" The tree man said after it stood on the ground. Its body trembled a little.
"Ancient tree man, the place you came from is a taboo. Don't tell anyone without my permission!" Abel was worried that others would know about the Dark World.
"Treant Shepherd, I will not communicate with any other life form other than you!" The Treant replied in a deep voice.
"Ancient tree man, can you feel it now? Can you survive here for a long time without affecting your growth?" Abel pointed around and asked.
"Tree shepherd, although the environment here is improving, it is still very different from where I live. I can survive here, but I can't grow!" The tree man lowered its voice.
Abel also understood. Although the Battlecry Plateau's environment had improved, it was still far from the Dark World.
The tree man could barely survive here. It couldn't grow. This was not his original intention.
"Come with me!" Abel wrapped the tree man with his power of the will and said.
Next, he teleported with the treant. When he reappeared, he was already in the air. Then, he and the treant disappeared in the air.
Abel and the tree man appeared in the God Kingdom of War God Doff.
"Tree man, can you grow in this environment?" Abel asked again.
The tree man took a lot longer this time. Its branches kept extending and retracting as if it had a lot of questions.
"Tree shepherd, I feel very strange. I feel like I'm being eroded by a special energy. If I stay here for a long time, I might turn into another life form!" The tree man replied after a while.
Abel was stunned. He didn't know what the tree man was talking about.
"3 headed giant, come here!" At that moment, the 3 headed giant flew over his head. Abel yelled.
The 3 headed giant quickly changed its direction and landed on Abel's side. It then bowed respectfully.
"Tree man, can you sense it? Is it this life form?" Abel pointed at the 3 headed giant and asked.
The tree man reached one of its branches towards the 3 headed giant, which was about the same height as itself. It was using this method to sense the inside of its body.
The 3 headed giant didn't resist. It just let the tree man inspect it.
"Tree shepherd, yes. I'll live here for a while, and I'll transform into this life form!" The tree man quickly retracted its branch and said to Abel.
"Tree man, are you willing to become a divine life form?" Abel finally understood what the tree man was talking about.
Although the tree man's lifespan was very long, it was far inferior to a divine life form, especially one that lived in a God Kingdom.
As long as the God Kingdom wasn't destroyed, the divine life form could exist forever.
Although the tree man had lived for more than ten thousand years, its lifespan would eventually run out one day.
However, even if the divine life form in the God Kingdom obtained eternal life, it would lose its freedom. It could only live in the God Kingdom and couldn't leave.
This was why Abel gave the final decision to the tree man. This was the first tree man he summoned, so he had to respect its choice.
At the same time, this also meant that he would have a tendency to summon other tree men in the future.
If the tree man chose to stay in the God Kingdom, it would be the only tree man that Abel allowed to stay. This was because any divine life form that stayed in the God Kingdom would consume faith energy.
Other gods might need divine life forms because there weren't enough of them in their God Kingdom.
However, in War God Doff's God Kingdom, there were 4 demigod divine life forms and 20 legendary rank flame spirits. It could be said that War God Doff's God Kingdom didn't lack divine life forms and god slaves.
The number of god slaves in the God Kingdom had already far exceeded the standard.
As far as he knew, most gods would only leave one or two god slaves in the God Kingdom to assist in battle.
"Tree shepherd, I choose to live in the real world. There, I can feel the real world!" The tree man lowered its voice and replied.
"Alright, I'll take you away!" Abel smiled and replied.
After returning to the mountain peak below the golden castle, the tree man chose a place near the spring. It spread its legs and turned them back into roots that extended into the ground.
Abel noticed that although the tree man had planted its roots into the ground, its body was still in the form of a tree man.
Actually, the tree of life didn't tell Abel one thing, which was that the "tree man summon" spell was only used in ancient times to enchant ancient trees with spirituality.
In ancient times, even if a normal tree was turned into a tree man, its use in battle was limited. The creatures back then were just too powerful.
After a long time, there were almost no signs of real ancient trees that were ten thousand years old. It wasn't just because of the various races cutting them down, but also because the natural environment couldn't make them grow to ten thousand years old.
The number of real ancient trees that were ten thousand years old in this world could be counted with one hand, and they were treated as treasures by all races.
After the tree of life gave the green tree core to Abel, it didn't tell him anything about the ten thousand year old tree. It also didn't consider the possibility that Abel could summon a tree man with spirituality.
"Tree shepherd, I'll listen to your call and fight for you!" The tree man said to Abel after it was settled down.
Abel didn't just leave the tree man like that. Instead, he took out a large-sized mana gathering circle and set it up around the tree man. He also placed 5 top-level gems on the circle plate of the circle, which should be enough to keep it running for tens of years.
Abel sensed the tree man's comfortable feeling, and he knew that this would help the tree man's growth.
However, Abel was probably the only one in this world who could set up a mana gathering circle for a tree. Any wizard who saw this kind of extravagant behavior would be cursed out.
