Chapter 359 - Chapter 359: 359 Harvest (2/2)

Gu Yang was not afraid. The Elf King’s Court had magical locks that obstructed the space.

Just because Akimichi could break open the space, sending over a dozen of Dark Dragons, didn’t mean others could do the same.

In the sky, a terrifying force was desperately trying to break open the space to get through, but it was failing.

At this moment, the Elf Queen was giving her all and using the power of the magical locks to seal the space.

The magical lock of the Elf King’s Court was arranged by a half-god. If it could be easily breached by others, the Elf Clan could have been wiped out by humans long ago.

Half-gods were extremely rare, but there were still several among humans.

Although the Elf Queen had her selfish thoughts, she was not ambiguous at this moment.

She knew that Gu Yang might be the only hope to cure the Mother Tree and could not let him be killed by that ancient dragon.

In the sky, in a distant place, a wrathful roar was heard when the ancient dragon failed to break open the space. A terrifying dragon breath finally punctured the space.

When the dragon breath broke out, everyone felt an overwhelming force, they all felt an urge to kneel and repent.

This was divine power!

Divine power is supreme and sacrosanct for common people.

Gu Yang faced this impending power and unwaveringly took out the Human Emperor Sword.

With the Human Emperor Sword in his hand, he did not feel fear. Instead, he leaped up and slashed at this supreme power.

“Break for me!”

The first move of Zhanxuan Swordsmanship, Xuan Yuan!

The Human Emperor Sword seemed to sense the crisis, emanating a golden light. A power similar yet completely different from the divine power erupted.

With this sword, the divine power was instantly shattered, disappearing without a trace.

In the sky, a resentful roar echoed as the space closed, cutting off the ancient dragon completely.

The crisis was resolved.

Gu Yang looked at the Human Emperor Sword in his hand, somewhat surprised.

He did not expect that it would take initiatives to help.

He said, “Thanks.”

There was no response from the Human Emperor Sword.

He didn’t care. He put the Human Emperor Sword back into the Beast-taming Space.

For the first time, he confronted the power of a celestial being without being overpowered.

It was a moment to remember.

Suddenly, Gu Yang felt several eyes on him. When he turned around, he saw a dozen survivors from the Elf Clan kneeling on the ground, paying him their respects as the “Son of God.”

Son of God?

I knew it, no matter how much I deny it, they will still assign me another identity.

Gu Yang was already familiar with this sort of situation. He said, “Rise.”

If they really think they can freeload just by bowing and calling me ‘Son of God’, they are too naive.

…

……

Next, Gu Yang set about removing the foreign power from the Mother Tree.

It wasn’t a difficult task for him.

This time, there were no more hitches.

It seemed that there were only two moles that Akimichi had laid within the Elf Clan.

After the foreign energy in over a dozen places had been cleared, the Mother Tree began to exude incredible vitality. The withered leaves fell one after the other, exposing the tender, green parts.

Although the trunk was full of large holes, and one-third of the leaves had fallen, every Elf could feel that the Mother Tree was reborn.

All the Elves present were moved to tears.

“Huh?”

Looking at the Mother Tree, Gu Yang felt a familiarity for some reason.

Where did he get this feeling from?

Upon pondering, he suddenly fetched a pot from the Beast-taming Space. It was the Wood God Ding, one of the Nine God Dings. Inside it, there was a stick sprouting a bud.

He got this stick from the Water Moon Fairyland. It was an eerie black stick that originally belonged to one of the disciples of No-Worries Sage on the No-Worries Mountain.

Later, he placed the stick in Wood God Ding, and the poisonous gas on it naturally dissipated, revealing its original form—just a stick. And now it had begun sprouting.

The aura of this stick was almost identical to the Mother Tree’s.

“Is this——”

Suddenly, the Elf Queen standing next to him noticed the stick, her voice trembling with excitement, “Another Mother Tree?”

There are two Mother Trees?

Gu Yang was somewhat curious. For him, this thing was useless, and he didn’t have time to wait for it to grow. So he took out the stick and said, “It’s yours.”

The Elf Queen tremblingly took it from him. Tremendous excitement could be seen on her face. The Elves around her were also extremely excited as if they were seeing something precious.

Then the Elf Queen buried one end of the stick in the ground and took out a golden cup from nowhere. She dropped a drop of green liquid into the soil.

Something miraculous happened. The stick instantly grew taller by a margin, even sprouting leaves and becoming a sapling.

The Elf Queen kept taking out the green liquid from the golden cup, and each drop caused the sapling to grow taller.

Soon, the sapling grew to over ten meters high, with a trunk as thick as two people could hug, and a massive crown covering tens of meters.

It was hard to believe it was just over a meter-long stick a moment ago.

Gu Yang marveled, “The Elves truly do have their own unique capabilities.”

The tree did look similar to the Mother Tree.

Having an additional Mother Tree meant that the birth rate of the Elf Clan could double. Hence, their excitement is unsurprising.

Just then, he saw an Elf come up to the tree, pressed its forehead against the tree trunk, and closed its eyes, establishing some connection with the tree through her mental power.

Moments later, a pure white fruit appeared on the tree. Within a dozen seconds, it expanded like a blown balloon to the size of a watermelon, and then fell off by itself, landing in the arms of the Elf beneath the tree.

The fruit split open, revealing a baby inside.

I see, this is how Elves reproduce.

Gu Yang was startled. He had just witnessed the process of the Elves ‘giving birth’ – it was an enlightening experience.

It was incredibly efficient.

As he was thinking, he noticed something strange. Looking closer, he saw that the baby was a boy.

Wasn’t it said that the Elf Clan only had females and no males?

Could it be…

He looked up at the tree, “Did I bring a ‘male’ Mother Tree to the Elves?”
