On the fourth day after the Green Star incident, I woke up early in the morning. The reason was that Mercury Lamp had been acting crazy since she woke up early in the morning. She was flapping her wings around the room. That was what I thought.
Breakfast was very simple. Youtiao, soy milk, tea eggs. Shallow Shallow also asked for jam, chili, fermented bean curd and iced red wine. I had no idea how she was going to eat it. Today, Chestnut was the cook. She was already very familiar with the different ways to make Chinese breakfast. For the past two days, she and Anveena took turns to make breakfast. Of course, Sandora's food still had to be prepared by Anveena. This was a task that ordinary people couldn't handle.
After breakfast, Chestnut packed her things and went to school in the City of Shadows.
She was now an ordinary female high school student in the Imperial Army Military Academy. She majored in battlefield command, scorpion combat and housekeeping. At the same time, she signed up to join the Viva Osaka Nuclear Harmony Interest Group. Her daily life was fulfilling and happy. In the morning, she would prepare food for her brother and other family members. In the morning, she would go to the school to listen to military officers or Heroic Spirit teachers. In the afternoon, she would sneak to the military area to scrounge for food. In the afternoon, she would study with the Osaka sisters on how to make fusion bombs with the common gadgets in the school dormitory. Occasionally, she would go to some macro world for an internship. Most of the time, it was some unreliable Osaka Osaka plan. Classes in the Military Academy ended very early. Most of the time, the students could study with their respective professional instructors. Her professional instructor was Anveena. In the afternoon, she would go home to learn how to do housework from the head maid. I saw that she was busy every day, but she seemed happy. In this family, Chestnut might be the most ordinary one. That's right, even after the previous classes, she was still the most ordinary one. After all, she was thrown into an environment filled with extraterrestrial creatures. However, she was also the most satisfied one. Just like Anveena, she lived her small life without a sense of presence. Everything she wanted was in this big house. Even if she occasionally had some whimsical ideas, there would be a bitter brother who would find ways to satisfy her.
I envy her, especially when she's working …
Most of the equipment on Green Star had been removed, leaving behind countless empty cabins waiting to be rebuilt and a set of core reactors that had been shut down, but there was still a lot of work left. 2.6 billion Tree Elves needed a new home, and there were still more than 10 million Tree Elf souls waiting to be reborn. Right now, I was dealing with the second problem: the Heavenly Garden.
The vines that Liliana had planted had already grown healthily. This incomparably gigantic building, a multi-storey sky garden constructed out of alloys and mysterious ores, was now almost impossible to see its original frame. Gigantic vines occupied every inch of one's vision. Standing below it, one would see a tall wall that had no end in front of them. Looking down from the sky, one would see a square piece of green tofu — — It was covered with mosaics, as though it was moldy. These were Liliana's own words. Due to my eagerness to help … to help instead, the growth of the Heavenly Garden had exceeded expectations. A large number of soldiers were pruning the branches day and night to prevent this nursery from growing to the point where even people couldn't enter. Liliana was also helpless against this. No matter what, this was the effect of the Goddess' Divine Power. Other than waiting for it to dissipate on its own, there was nothing else that could be done. It would probably take half a month.
I was also rather curious. Of course, Jingle's power wasn't fake. She had once caused flowers and plants to grow within the metal plates of the three-hundred-kilometer-long Empire Admiral. But this time, I had only used a little bit of Jingle's soup, diluted it by a few million times. How did it cause such a huge commotion?
To think that I had even intended to secretly take some Jingle's soup and mix it with water to sell as Brain Platinum …
The Heavenly Garden had a total of a hundred storeys. Every two storeys were connected by a teleportation beam. It was arrogantly named by Liliana as the "Road of Advancement." (Yesterday at 3: 30 in the afternoon). As a "nest" that was purely used to cultivate embryos, this place didn't have too complicated a structure. The terrain could be seen at a glance. Basically, as long as one held a compass, there wouldn't be a situation where one walked into a dead end and couldn't get out. Neatly intertwined vines formed a wall in all directions. The wall was at least a dozen meters tall — it could accommodate a large number of cultivated embryos. Between the vines, I could often see flower buds shrouded in a faint green glow. They were the bodies of embryos that hadn't fully grown. Beside each flower bud, there was a small green dot of light flying up and down. I approached one of them curiously. The small dot of light affectionately bumped into my face a few times before landing on my shoulder.
It was a small fairy the size of a palm. Its body was translucent, as though its body was formed from green light. On its back, there was a pair of wings that I couldn't make out. The reason why I couldn't make out the shape of the wings was because they were two long and narrow halos. They moved erratically along with the fairy's movements, as though they hadn't fully grown yet.
"Err … Jingle? Mass production of Jingle? "
I was already used to all sorts of mass production phenomena in the City of Shadows. I couldn't help but think of such a possibility.
The fairy didn't make any sound. It only looked around curiously. Then, it flapped its two halos of wings and flew into the vines. Immediately after, the huge flower bud in front of me trembled slightly and continued to grow at an accelerated rate.
"I don't know what this is either. It grew out of the flowers and trees of Avalon." Following the rustling of leaves, Liliana's voice came from the side. She passed through the wall of vines and appeared in front of me in her elven clothes. "It could be that the power of the Goddess created a projection in Avalon. That's why these strange little animals were created. Ah, they're just small animals. Their intelligence isn't much higher than that of birds. Also, when they were born, they were completely erratic and didn't even have any facial features."
"Err, there really are all sorts of strange things in Avalon." The corner of my mouth twitched.
"However, with them around, the growth of the Vine of Life is easier to control. Also, they can catalyze the embryos." Liliana smiled proudly. "These fairies are very obedient. As long as it's a believer of the Goddess of Life, they will follow. So, I brought a lot of them from Avalon to help take care of the embryos. One for each person. They don't eat, drink, or rest. Their favorite thing to do every day is to circle around the plants or greet strangers. Also, these little ones can help keep an eye on the situation of the embryos. It's not bad to act as an alarm. The Heavenly Garden doesn't have enough manpower. There are only ten high-level priests and a hundred or so church knights on each floor. There's no way to take care of every flower bud. It's much easier with these fairies. "
As she said this, Liliana's face had a dazzling motherly glow. I nodded in satisfaction. "En, now you're the mother of over ten million children …"
Liliana was speechless.
The loli was very fierce. Fortunately, she was only 109 meters tall. I easily took care of the raging Liliana. Then, I looked at the somewhat strange green world in front of me. "Speaking of which, why isn't that Green Calyx bothering you anymore?"
Liliana suddenly became lively. "Her? Didn't I trick her into cooperating with the experiment with just a few words? Now, she's at the highest floor of the Heavenly Garden. Before the first batch of embryos completes a growth cycle, she can't leave there. At least, I can still be free for a few days. Boss, look at this project, isn't it big enough? It's my proudest work! Right now, the souls of the Tree Fairies have already been injected into the embryos. It's just that they haven't awakened yet. In these few days, they will be directly in these flower buds to slowly familiarize themselves with their new bodies. When the new bodies mature, their souls will also be completely adapted. The effect is definitely better than the hibernation pods! "
I nodded my head indifferently. Actually, I felt that something was wrong. However, I couldn't pinpoint what it was. After looking at the vines around me for a while, I suddenly remembered something. "Right, you used Green Calyx as the source of all the embryos … Doesn't that mean that all the embryos here have the same face?"
"Of course not," Liliana instantly rolled her eyes at me. "The appearance can be adjusted. During the embryos' development, the environment will be slightly adjusted and the appearance will be different."
"Oh," I nodded my head. Then, I asked uncertainly, "Then … What about gender?"
The black-bellied Archbishop was momentarily stunned. After a few seconds of silence, Liliana suddenly looked at me with tears in her eyes. "Bo … Boss, I might have gotten into trouble, right?"
"… Damn, you feminized more than ten million people?!"
Liliana used her fingers to argue with me. "It's not that serious. According to the gender ratio, you should have feminized more than six million people … Sigh, Boss, impulsiveness is the devil! What if there is a person with a more unique personality among the six million people? Who knows … "
I grabbed the lass's head and gave it a hard knock. Liliana immediately pretended to cry for her father and mother. The commotion was so big that it even attracted a few patrolling Church Knights, Church Friars, Church Missionaries, Church Craftsmen, and Priests. However, these people were already used to the scene of their Archbishop getting beaten up by his parents after getting into trouble. They bowed from afar and went back to what they were doing. Liliana wiped away her tears and wrote a letter of guarantee. Once these unlucky Tree Elves woke up, she would immediately create new bodies for them. At the very least, their gender had to be normal.
Looking around at the embryos that were still a few days away from maturing, I knew that there was a 13-14 year old girl curled up in each bud. Thinking about the soul of an uncle or an uncle that had been injected into them, I immediately felt a shiver run through my body. Liliana's killing power was too great. Looks like my decision to patrol the garden today was the right one. Otherwise, if these souls were to solidify in their bodies, it would be troublesome to change them. At that time, walking on the streets of the City of Shadows, a graceful and beautiful Elf girl would greet you with a sweet smile. "Hello, I'm Da Zhuang. Tie Gen. " How the hell was a normal person supposed to feel? What was even worse was that there might be another Elf girl walking over from the side. Thus, comrade Tie Gen pointed to the second Elf and introduced him to you. "Hello, this is my father. When I woke up, he turned into a girl …"
… Un, he seems quite cute … Damn!
After walking out of the Heavenly Garden, I turned around and looked at the green building that covered the sky. "So, from now on, this is going to replace the Mother Tree of the Tree Elves?"
From a functional point of view, the current role of the Heavenly Garden was to act as an incubator for the Tree Elves' embryos. Although it only had a single donor sample, the embryos that could be cultivated lacked the freedom to change and didn't meet the requirements for evolution, it could still be improved. That was why I asked this question.
Liliana first nodded her head, then wrinkled her nose. "That's the plan, but there's still a lot of work to be done. I've already stripped the things from the Green Star's core and stored them in the World Tree Shrine. Do you want to take a look? "
The World Tree Shrine, nicknamed Heaven, also known as the Divine Kingdom, was the place where Jingle lived. However, this three-inch nail almost never stayed in the Shrine. Most of the time, she liked to nest in her owner's pocket and sleep, or foolishly fly around the house to catch mice. As a result, as time passed, the responsibility of taking care of the Shrine fell on Liliana's head. Thus, Liliana conveniently threw the dying 'Mother Tree' into the Shrine. At the very least, the withering process of the Mother Tree would be suppressed inside. Speaking of which, I hadn't been to this Shrine for a long time. However, I still remembered that I needed to verify my identity before entering the Shrine. I also remembered the method to do so. I took out the sleeping Jingle and waved it above the trunk of the World Tree, and the door would open.
This was the legendary card swiping with one's face.
Lina watched as I used Ding Dang to swipe the card with ease. She had a strange expression on her face as she said, "Boss, I feel like you're already treating the Goddess as something strange."
"She's not normal to begin with." I shrugged and stuffed Jingle into my pocket. She popped her head out in a daze. "Ah Jun, wake up Jingle when it's time to eat."
"I feel that she's been sleeping too much recently," I couldn't help but mutter. "It's been more than a month. Apart from eating, she's been sleeping. Her habits are almost the same as Araya's. That shouldn't be the case. Jingle is usually so lively."
"Who knows? Maybe she's grown taller," Liliana made up a story. At this moment, it was impossible to see her so-called respect for the Goddess. She set the teleportation path, and a huge teleportation door lit up in the emerald green hall in front of us. "I placed the withered tree vines in an alternate dimension on the upper level of the Shrine. You can only enter through the teleportation door."
The Basilica of the World Tree was located in an indescribable space. Although it felt like it was inside the trunk of the World Tree, you would not think so after you entered. Looking out from the skylight of the Basilica, you could see an abnormally clear blue sky and white clouds. You could even see small rivers, lakes, and even forests in some parts of the Basilica. It was a strange place where the inner space was greatly extended. I even suspected that it could fit the entire solar system in it. The upper level of the Shrine that Liliana mentioned was a huge starstone platform. This was the most spacious place in the Shrine of Life. Above it was an unobstructed blue sky and white clouds. The sky was so low that you could reach it with your hand. The huge starstone platform was surrounded by rows of neatly arranged green stone pillars. The stone pillars were engraved with reliefs. Most of the reliefs were engraved under Liliana's orders after the Shrine was built. The reliefs included images of races that believed in Jingle, fabricated miracles, magic runes of unknown use, and "XX was here" and "Please reply to the following content." The main purpose of engraving these stone pillars was that Liliana felt that as a Shrine, it would be too shameful if there were no such things, especially after she saw the Obsidian Palace of the Celestial Realm's Icetis Family and the Shrine of the Father. In fact, I think it's all nonsense. Look at Lin's Shrine, it's a simple stone castle. Except for the outer wall, there were basically no reliefs. Of course, it could also be that Lin was too strong, so she simply did not have these little things at home.
The Mother Tree that had been stripped off floated near the platform. After being separated from the Oasis planet, Liliana straightened out the order of the messy vines, scattered them and placed them in the sky, level with the upper platform of the Shrine. So from this angle, the gray-green vines looked like a large group of trembling tentacles that surrounded the platform …
"Boss, don't use metaphors if you don't know how to use metaphors."
Liliana suggested sincerely.
"Cough cough. Is this thing really hopeless?"
I scratched my head awkwardly and looked at the side of my hand. A thin branch of the vine was swaying next to my hand. I reached out and gently touched it. It seemed to have sensed my touch and immediately shrank back.
"If it was just too old, it would still be manageable. Even I can bring it back from the dead." Liliana shook her head in disappointment. "The current situation is that the Mother Tree has divinity. It is very likely that it is a branch that fell from another World Tree and grew in the mortal world. You can think of it as an extension of another World Tree, so it cannot accept Goddess Jingle's power: System Conflict."
I used my own way to understand Liliana's meaning. If we were to compare Jingle's divinity as the God of World Management to Android, then the Mother Tree would be a Symbian. Of course, it wouldn't be a problem for the Symbian program to be compressed and stored in the Android folder. However, what Liliana needs to do now is to make the Symbian program run in the Android environment. That would be a little difficult. You should know what I mean when you go to McDonald's and order a KFC family bucket or go to the Unicom lobby to recharge your 150XXXXX phone. You should be able to understand what I mean.
"So, after trying a few times, I decided to give up on reviving the Mother Tree," Liliana said dejectedly. "Because it is impossible for us to find out which Goddess of Life planted this plant tens of thousands of years ago. Even if we can find the creator of the Tree Elves from the records of the Protoss, we definitely won't be able to find the World Tree from back then. The Tree Elves were discovered as an independent race by the Old Empire. This means that the Goddess of Life who created them allowed the Tree Elves to develop freely after she finished her work. The remains of the World Tree should have been left in that world and disappeared along with the Old Empire. "
"But without the Mother Tree, I won't be able to find the life line of the Tree Elves," Liliana paused for a moment before continuing. "In other words, without the Mother Tree, the Tree Elves that I use the Heavenly Garden to create will forever be clones. Even if I insert a soul into them, they won't be Tree Elves. They will be two different races!"
