Wizard: Starting from the Skill Tree-Chapter 517: World Tree Seed Awakens

Within the Light God Court, Duke hovered in mid-air. In front of him was the Heart of the Insect Race of a Level 2 Nest, massive as a small house.

Its entire body was dark purple, its surface covered with veins throbbing like living creatures. The immense life energy contained within it rose and fell like tides, emitting an unsettling pulsation.

Beside it, there were four fist-sized Level 1 Nest Cores, also glowing but much weaker.

Duke’s gaze was focused on the center of the pale green Spring of Life below.

In the depths of the spring, the World Tree Seed still floated quietly, radiating an ancient and vast aura, but remaining in a deep sleep state.

The World Tree Seed requires an infusion of vast amounts of energy and resources. The pure, rich life energy within the Heart of the Insect Race is an excellent supplement.

Utilizing the life energy within the Heart of the Insect Race is also straightforward, requiring almost no processing, just direct guidance.

Duke wondered if feeding it this way would pose any issues, as no related information could be found.

In all the information Duke could access, there was nothing like ’On the Cultivation of the World Tree.’ It’s likely no one in the entire Wizard Plane has ever done anything similar.

Duke could only explore on his own, being a bit cautious.

He tried extracting a wisp of purple life energy from the Heart of the Insect Race, then carefully guided it to slowly approach the World Tree Seed.

This strand of life energy carried a strong Void Insect Race aura, and it was unclear what impact it might have.

Before this wisp of dark purple energy really touched the seed, the intricate lines on the seed’s surface spontaneously lit up with an almost imperceptible soft white light.

The Insect Race life energy, with chaotic and aggressive undertones, was instantly purified upon meeting this white light, like snow meeting sunlight, its violent impurities being washed clean away, leaving only the most pure, primordial life source, which was absorbed effortlessly by the seed.

The process was silent and efficient, natural and seamless.

A hint of understanding and delight flashed in Duke’s eyes.

"It seems I was overthinking. What is the World Tree? It is one of the symbols of the source of life, an ultimate representation of order and creation.

These alien energies derived from plunder and destruction cannot compare on any level. Their chaotic attributes are naturally cleansed and returned to their original state in the presence of the World Tree’s primordial order, leaving only the purest life force as nourishment."

Realizing this, he hesitated no longer.

Duke directly manipulated the enormous Level 2 Heart of the Insect Race, slowly moving it above the Spring of Life.

As the Heart of the Insect Race approached the water, the World Tree Seed reacted once again.

Duke could feel the seed instinctively developed a longing for the Heart of the Insect Race, as if a starving person suddenly saw a feast.

This wasn’t the awakening of the World Tree Seed, but an instinctual craving to devour resources and energy.

Not holding back, Duke moved the Heart of the Insect Race closer, and the World Tree Seed naturally generated an attractive force, absorbing the energy from the Heart of the Insect Race.

He also actively guided the energy from the Heart of the Insect Race to feed the World Tree Seed.

The pale green light of the Spring of Life suddenly brightened, like a layer of pure flame, enveloping the dark purple Heart of the Insect Race.

In Duke’s perception, the chaotic life energy within the Heart of the Insect Race, turbulent as a tsunami, was drawn out by this powerful attraction, poured into that layer of light.

With every cleansing surge, the dark purple violent energy was instantly purified, shedding all alien characteristics, transforming into a crystalline, vibrant pure life source power, absorbed by the seed.

The Level 2 Heart of the Insect Race visibly shrank, its color dimming.

The four Level 1 Cores beside it were the first to turn to dust, their energy completely drained.

With the influx of massive pure life energy, the World Tree Seed didn’t just tremble slightly.

It began to emit a stable and powerful throb, like a real heart beating.

The lines on the seed’s surface grew brighter and more complex, as if countless secrets of life flowed and revived within.

An aura far more ancient and vast than before began to slowly awaken from inside the seed, permeating the entire Light God Court.

Duke could clearly feel the life within the seed, dormant for who knows how many ages, being vigorously activated by this vast nourishment.

At this rate, it might not take long for this divine object, symbolizing infinite possibilities, to truly awaken in his hands.

Under Duke’s focused gaze, the Level 2 Heart of the Insect Race, like snow under the blazing sun, melted and shrank visibly.

The turbulent and chaotic life torrent within was forcefully extracted by the World Tree Seed’s suction, poured into the pure pale green light of the Spring of Life.

The house-sized Level 2 Heart of the Insect Race finally disintegrated entirely with a slight, seemingly relieved hum.

The last trace of energy was drained completely, leaving behind only a faint, about-to-dissipate alien aura, soon purified by the dense aura of the Spring of Life.

When the last bit of energy was absorbed by the seed, a deep and powerful throb, like the heartbeat from ancient times, suddenly resounded from the depths of the Spring of Life.

This sound was not carried through the air but seemed to reverberate directly within Duke’s soul, causing even the entire Light God Court to gently tremble.

In fact, it wasn’t a physical tremor, but every living being here could feel it.

In the distant forests and mountains, all birds, beasts, insects, and fishes froze, instinctively not daring to move.

The entire Light God Court seemed to be frozen momentarily, returning to normal after a pause.

At the center of the spring, the World Tree Seed was no longer dormant.

It emitted a warm, continuous green glow, no longer the occasional flickers from before, but a stable, breath-like pulsing.

The intricate patterns on the seed’s surface were now fully illuminated, like living mystical runes, interweaving and flowing, embodying an indescribable life aura.

A vitality a hundred times more potent than before burst forth from the seed’s interior.

This vitality was ancient, vast, filled with the aura of creation and order, no longer restrained, but spreading outward like a tide, enfolding the entire Divine Court Space.

Duke could clearly feel, centering on the Spring of Life, all the vegetation in the court seemed to receive a supreme blessing, growing wildly, becoming more lush, brimming with spirit.
