"How did you manage to get the Chaos Treasure Tree to agree to leave with me, Christine?" Bexia looked at the large tree rooted in the Chaos Soil, then turned to Christine beside her and asked.
"Just made it understand its situation and promised not to harm it, that's all!" Christine replied.
"That's it?"
"Of course, after all, it only possesses a dim and confused intellect, so as long as I convey goodwill, it works." Christine reached out to touch the trunk of the Chaos Treasure Tree, infused it with some of her own power, and the tree trembled slightly, seemingly conveying joy towards Christine.
"It feels like you kidnapped this Chaos Treasure Tree." Bexia remarked, watching the tree's reaction in silence.
"Hehe!" Christine chuckled, then summoned many soul crystals she had previously obtained from elsewhere in the astral space, scattering them beneath the Chaos Treasure Tree. Instantly, these soul crystals disappeared at a visible rate, and the Chaos Treasure Tree exuded a more spirited aura.
Absorbing the power from the soul crystals, the Chaos Treasure Tree gratefully dropped two Chaos Fruits from its branches, gently landing in front of Christine, who caught them with both hands.
"This child is thanking us, master. It has given us two fruits!" Christine presented the Chaos Fruits to Bexia like a treasure. The dense chaos energy on them was even purer than that on the Chaos Stones.
"It seems like we'll have to take on the role of gardeners in the future!" Bexia smiled, indicating that Christine had indeed struck a mutually beneficial agreement with the Chaos Treasure Tree, helping it grow in exchange for rewards.
"It's quite nice this way. At least the master doesn't have to search for cultivation resources everywhere, as the power of chaos is not easy to come by. And through this tree, the master can also understand the laws of chaos faster!" Christine playfully embraced Bexia from behind and stuck out her tongue, saying, "Master! How are you going to thank me this time?"
"Do we need to thank each other?" Bexia nuzzled Christine's face with hers.
"Haven't you heard the saying, 'Even brothers settle their accounts'?"
"Then let's settle our accounts properly!" Bexia playfully pushed her down to the ground.
Several days later...
The Five Gods converged, and the Thick Earth Divine Tree shattered with a boom. The forms of the Five Gods turned into a spinning wheel of the Five Elements in the collision before suddenly breaking apart, releasing ripples containing the breath of creation, ushering in the true world.
Where the ripples spread, solid earth appeared, towering mountains rose from the ground, vegetation quickly covered bare mountains, ravines formed, water flowed, volcanoes erupted, smoke billowed, the sea remained calm, but in a split second, fierce winds and storms swept through...
Bexia felt a surge of power passing through her body, as if her body had been purified and her physique strengthened.
Indeed, this was not an illusion; the power of the Five Gods did have such an effect. This was also why, when the world was first born, many people would stay in this world despite being unable to compete for its treasures. Strengthening the physique, enhancing aptitude, that was the power of the Five Gods!
Many referred to this behavior as "observing the ceremony."
After witnessing the birth of a world and receiving the world's "hospitality," many people would leave something behind in this world as a token of their encounter with the world!
Among practitioners, there are actually quite a few individuals who follow this rule, especially those with higher strength, as if to prevent themselves from forming karmic ties with this world.
"I'll leave something behind too!" Bexia searched through the subspace and took out an immortal-grade artifact.
It was a fine ice crystal sword, a spoils of war from Arahtys, considered only medium-quality among immortal artifacts. When this artifact appeared, a thick mist of coldness immediately enveloped the surroundings, rapidly freezing into frost in nearby areas, even covering Bexia in a thin layer of ice armor.
"This is my gift!" With a fierce throw, Bexia launched the ice crystal sword into the distance.
During its projection, the ice crystal sword seemed to be imbued with a strange power, growing larger as it flew, the originally slender blade continuously sprouting huge ice crystals, creating towering waves as it plunged into the distant ocean.
*Crackle crackle―!*
In the blink of an eye, the seawater froze into vast ice sheets, icebergs jutted out from under the sea surface, extending for thousands of miles, forming a blurry sword shape when viewed from high above.
As for whether it could be taken by others, it was impossible because this artifact had already been assimilated by this world, becoming a part of it. And the big shots capable of restoring the ice crystal sword wouldn't bother with this medium-quality immortal artifact.
"Are you really so wealthy?! You actually tossed away an artifact!" Moon floated to the side, watching the artifact thrown by Bexia, finding this behavior incredibly extravagant, even her father had never wasted to this extent.
Looking back at Moon, she could only maintain equal footing with Bexia in this manner, meeting her gaze. Bexia casually remarked, "Just an immortal artifact, it's nothing compared to what I gained!"
"Are you flaunting your wealth at me?" Moon had seen inside Bexia's subspace before, the wealth she saw in there was blinding, definitely not something she should possess.
"I have no such intention!"
"The evil rich person!" Moon gritted her teeth, bearing a deep grudge.
"As long as little Moon marries a master, all these things will be yours too!" Christine embraced Moon from behind, smiling as she ruffled her hair.
"You shameless woman, let go of me!" Moon pushed her away like an angry cat, pointing at Christine with a flushed face.
"What's shameless about me?" With a tilt of her head, Christine sported a silly cute expression.
Bexia knew, she was about to start acting again!
"You... you…" Moon pointed at Christine, thinking of earlier events, her face growing redder as she struggled to say anything with a stutter.
"… Both of you are shameless creatures!" Moon finally managed to blurt out this sentence, unable to bear the sounds and images playing in her mind, she flew forward and away.
"Why do I always get dragged into this?" Bexia suddenly found herself accused, innocent and puzzled, standing still.
It was all because those two couldn't control themselves, after abandoning Moon and engaging in some inappropriate activities, little did they know Moon woke up and saw everything. She almost pulled out Ganguenel at the time.
"Isn't it all the master's fault?" Christine continued with an innocent and silly expression.
"......" Bexia rolled her eyes in speechlessness, isn't this your responsibility too?
Moreover, aren't you the one who repeatedly flirts with Yue?
Don't you feel guilty saying such things?
