115: Treeman ascends to a higher rank, becoming a new apostle.

The Treant Clan was gathered around the World Tree.

Led by Grand Elder Charon, they bowed in reverence to the World Tree.

Pale green light rose from the Treants, converging into a stream of light that flowed into the World Tree.

The World Tree began to grow taller, stretching its branches, and an invisible wave of energy rippled out, enveloping all the Treants.

Bathed in this wave, the light on the Treants became even brighter.

The next second, the Treants at the Peak of Tier 3, Nine Stars, broke through their Bottlenecks and Advanced to Tier 4!

Surging life energy burst forth from within them, permeating the entire world.

The Inner World also received nourishment from this energy.

Plants grew at an astonishing rate... The world's boundaries, which had slowed their expansion, accelerated outwards once again... The Treants, having broken through, were overjoyed.

Thick vines waved in the air, making crisp "crackling" sounds.

Grand Elder Charon was even more tearful, with clear tree sap, like tears, sliding down his wrinkled bark-like face.

The Bottleneck that had plagued them for years was finally broken at this moment!

During their time in the Secret Realm, Tier 4 was an unreachable dream for them.

After leaving the Secret Realm, although they lost their invincible state, they also gained new life.

And now, under the blessing of the Mother Goddess, they finally stepped into Tier 4.

"This works too?"

Lin Xingyu, standing nearby, was dumbfounded.

The Treants worshiped the World Tree, accelerating its growth.

The World Tree, in turn, nourished the Treants, helping them Breakthrough.

Even the entire world expanded because of this!

Between the two, there was clearly some kind of wonderful symbiotic relationship... After the celebration, Lin Xingyu arranged for the Treants to disperse to various corners of the Inner World.

After finding suitable locations, the Treants rooted themselves and entered a state of Cultivation.

Dense life energy emanated from them, and the surrounding vegetation also flourished.

Lin Xingyu nodded with satisfaction; the task of planting would be entrusted to the Treant Clan from now on, as they were very good at it.

Immediately after, Lin Xingyu turned his gaze to the World Tree.

At this time, three more apostle fruits had grown on the branches of the World Tree.

He called Yao Lan and Charon over and gave each of them an apostle fruit.

"Thank... thank you, Boss..."

Yao Lan took the apostle fruit, so excited that she was incoherent, tears welling up in her eyes.

Her talent was ordinary, she had no spirit seed, and her Bloodline was not considered Advanced.

Unlike Wang Ledian and the others who possessed spirit seeds, they could use spirit shaping fruits to stack their spirit seeds to SSS-Rank.

Yao Lan had also tried the spirit replenishing potion introduced by the Federation, but it had no effect on her.

She had always felt that she had no cultivation value, and her boss wouldn't waste resources on her.

And now... "Eat it quickly!"

Lin Xingyu urged Yao Lan, who was still stunned.

Yao Lan was the first person to enter the Inner World, and she deserved an apostle fruit.

As for the talent issue, they would figure it out later... After Yao Lan ate the apostle fruit, something unexpected happened.

Streaks of light burst from within her, gradually forming a butterfly phantom above her head.

【Shuhuan Butterfly】

【Rank: D】

... "This is a spirit seed?!"

Lin Xingyu's spirit was lifted when he saw the information.

The apostle fruit could actually make Yao Lan Awaken a spirit seed!

Her talent problem was solved!

As long as she had a spirit seed, she could use spirit shaping fruits.

With a large number of spirit shaping fruits, she would eventually be able to Awaken an SSS-Rank Spirit Seed.

"I... I..."

Yao Lan opened her mouth but couldn't utter a complete sentence.

There were two major turning points in her life: one was when the Mutated Ones problem was solved, and she awakened her Bloodline.

The second was obtaining the apostle fruit.

She not only gained a Golden Finger but also awakened a companion spirit seed.

This meant that she, like the other Apostles, would have the qualification to reach the Peak.

"Bo... Boss..."

Yao Lan looked at Lin Xingyu with tear-filled eyes, her gratitude overflowing.

"Alright, don't call me Boss anymore. Call me Big Brother, like the others!"

Lin Xingyu cleared his throat, feigning seriousness.

"But don't get complacent, you still have to cook!"

Yao Lan's cooking was delicious, and currently, no one could replace her.

When there were more people in the Inner World in the future, they could find some professional chefs.

"Okay, Boss... no, Big Brother!"

... On the other side.

After Charon ate the apostle fruit, there wasn't much change, nor did he Awaken a spirit seed.

This disappointed Lin Xingyu a little.

It seemed that whether one could Awaken a spirit seed was related to their race.

The Treant race itself did not possess spirit seeds, so even eating an apostle fruit couldn't make them Awaken one.

Just then, Luo Chengan and Wei Xuan arrived in the Inner World.

"Big Brother, can we eat spirit shaping fruits?"

The two looked at Lin Xingyu with anticipation.

"You want to eat spirit shaping fruits?"

Lin Xingyu was very puzzled.

Both of them had SS-Rank Spirit Seeds and possessed rare abilities.

Their spirit seeds were no worse than SSS-Rank.

If they ate a spirit shaping fruit, these abilities would be refreshed.

Rare abilities were not that easy to obtain; what if they couldn't be refreshed... "Don't worry, Big Brother!"

Luo Chengan was full of confidence.

"I've already predicted it; the re-awakened abilities will most likely be similar to our current abilities, and there won't be any loss!"

He had predicted it many times and was confident there would be no problems.

According to their deduction, the type of companion spirit seed awakened was closely related to the individual.

For example, Wang Ledian always refreshed with Fate-type abilities.

And Li Hongyang always had Ape-type spirit seeds.

"Alright, you guys decide for yourselves, just don't mess it up."

Seeing Luo Chengan's confident demeanor, Lin Xingyu nodded in agreement.

Anyway, there was no shortage of spirit crystals, so let them experiment.

Thinking of this, Lin Xingyu decided to open the spirit sculpting tree to all Apostles.

If needed, they could use it themselves... Outside Starfall City, the World Purifying Society's new base.

Zhou Jin, the person in charge, breathed a sigh of relief as the Three-Eyed God Clan Genius Group arrived safely.

This Genius Group still consisted of 5 members with SS-Rank talent.

From this, one could see the profound foundation of the Three-Eyed God Clan, as they managed to reassemble the Genius Group in such a short time.

During this period, they had already prepared in Secret Realm No. 3688, just waiting for the Genius Group to arrive.

There were two D-Rank Secret Realms near Starfall City: 3688 and the newly appeared Secret Realm No. 3699.

He had just received intelligence that Secret Realm No. 3699 had already been refined.

This made him secretly glad that he hadn't joined the excitement in the new Secret Realm.

If they had chosen the new Secret Realm back then, they would have lost everything.

This might be a good omen, indicating that their luck was about to turn.

There was also good news.

Accompanying the Genius Group this time was also a Marquis-level Expert.

In other words, they now had two Marquis-level Experts.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jin's confidence doubled.

"Notify our people, we can begin!"

"Please have the two Marquis-level Experts create a disturbance in the wilderness to tie down Marquis Liehu and his wife!"

"Everyone else, move out and send the Genius Group to Secret Realm No. 3688 through the secret passage!"

"This mission is our last chance; success is the only option, failure is not!"

...
