A new commotion arose around the entire Golden Sap Country. The System had suddenly sent familiar ssages to everyone, making their bodies feel sowhat numb as if they were living in a dream.
[You’ll soon be affected by World Tree Tianlian Liu Shu’s title, , do not resist.]
After that, the entire continent shook once more. This ti around, a rain of blue and yellow essence fell from the sky, washing the world with it.
[You are under effects!]
: You gain a buff when listening to the sounds of nature or being near the World Tree’s domain. Anima and Aether regeneration is increased by 100%. All elental energies and soul energy are much tar around you, making it easier to cast spells up to C Rank. All life forms under its influence gain 10% Aether and Anima comprehension rate, have 5% more Aether Mana and Anima Energy, have their spell cost reduced by 5%, and have their basic attributes increased by 2%.
If were considered a buff toward vitality, was for spellcasters. The buffs were relatively small in general. However, they could stack powerfully with each other. Everyone on the continent thought similarly, feeling blessed to live in the domain of such a ridiculous World Tree.
Since it happened in the past, most people just patted their scared chests and moved on with their days with nervous smiles. ‘Living under Lady Liu Shu’s blessing is truly nerve-wracking.’ While everyone was ready to move on after patting their chest, a new ssage popped into their eyesight.
[ resonates with .]
[ strengthen each other.]
A collective “Eh?” was heard around the country. Then, another pulse surged outward from Liu Shu, making the entire Continent feel the surge in strength in Liu Shu’s area.
[Titles have changed! Please check the changes.]
Without a mont of hesitation, everyone opened their system pages and read the titles.
: You gain a buff when listening to the sounds of nature or being near the World Tree’s domain. Anima and Aether regeneration is increased by 200%. All elental energies and soul energy are much tar around you, making it easier to cast spells up to .

Looking at the titles, Thalgryn copied Flor’s usual reaction and took a big sip of Liu Shu’s calming tea. ‘Most numbers almost doubled… Fuck.’ It was a while that she cursed, but she truly couldn’t express it otherwise.
She was in her residence in Prarya’s city when this happened, having a eting with a few lords who felt that there were too many taxes. Thalgryn naturally thought otherwise. Liu Shu was always protecting the entire domain with her presence, even catching small-ti criminals like thieves, etc, when she had ti. Since they’ve been under her protection, the rate of cris and deaths has made a freefall, dangerously rushing toward zero.
After reading both titles and taking another sip of the calming tea, she looked around the table and grinned. “So, does anyone have any more questions about why we should send part of our resources to Lady Liu Shu?”
All those who had co to protest were speechless. These two titles boosted their stats by 8% by themselves, without counting any of the myriad other effects. They were 8% stronger than others just because Liu Shu existed around them. Such a concept was truly terrifying.
Soone asked Thalgryn. “Lady Thalgryn, don’t these powerful have side effects? They are just too strong.”
Thalgryn blankly stared at that person. “Do you think we live in a ga or sothing? Why must there be a drawback to every powerful skill or title? If you want to complain about fairness, go tell the Evolutionary Tree why it created monsters like Sylvans, World Trees, and Life Trees.”
Shaking her head, she looked at the rest and asked. “Anyway, any news that is worth listening to? If not, everyone can return to calm your probably restless citizens due to and .” Thalgryn blinked and pondered. “Is Liu Shu becoming a Chaos World Tree or sothing? Quite interesting.”
Everyone left, while Liu Shu herself was going through another set of advancents.

‘Stars?’ Liu Shu was confused.
[Wisdom: are the Universal way to classify threat levels of a being. A creature can get up to 26 stars on each of its major attributes.]
“26…” Liu Shu made the ntal calculations and blinked. “So… Up to SSS Rank? Why not use the tiers? Also, why not up until SSS Rank?”
[Wisdom: F- Rank is equal to 0 Stars, so the 26th is SSS Rank. Around the universe, there are creatures who might not understand the word . However, all creatures have the word “star” in their vocabulary as long as they’ve gone beyond their planet. Hence, it has beco a custom to na things . Like how “money” can be called in many different ways, instead of saying I have five money.]
“Well, there are different currencies.”
[Wisdom: At the end of the day, money is an item with an imaginary value that changes depending on many factors and can be exchanged for others. The na or currency is just like how can be classified with Stars, Life Rating, Existence Level, Realms, etc.]
Liu Shu was convinced. “I see. Well, don’t use the Stars with . Keep it simple with the .”
[Wisdom: Understood.]
After increasing her , Liu Shu fell into a sleep. During that sleep, Dewna was taken out by Harmonixia for the first ti.
Once Harmonixia arrived ho with Dewna in her arms, all the elders that knew she would co with the baby almost lted at her cuteness. ‘She is so pretty!!’
Verena walked forward, her eyes eager as she spoke. “Harmonixia, child, give her to . Ah~. My granddaughter is so cute!”
Harmonica coughed. “Be careful, Aunty Verena. She is an Alraune.”
Verena nodded and rembered it. “Right, right. This little thing will be very lustful by nature… Hm.” Verena stopped speaking and looked down. She saw little Dewna glancing at her large breasts while salivating and squeezing them with her small hands.
Verdantia coughed. “Mom, please stop her next ti.”
Verena chuckled. “It doesn’t matter. She is just curious. By the way, Alraune needs a lot of liquid to feed herself. Can you four give her enough? If you need more, I can start lactating as well.”
Flor approached with a curious gaze. “Lactate… I have no such ability, so I can’t help there. If you girls need help, we can go and buy it in one shop I saw selling Sylvan-related articles down the main street. It is quite popular with new mothers and also a way for so Sylvans to make a quick profit.”
Verdantia frowned. “I don’t want to feed her random milk from another woman. I’ll work overti to feed her if I need to, but don’t worry. I don’t believe a single Alraune baby can really make us four struggle to feed her.”
Flor looked at them and asked. “So, who was the one this ti around?”
Harmonixia sheepishly smiled. “It was , Mother-in-law.”
The Flower Fairy smiled. After Verdantia’s situation, she knew that the other three would go on the offensive, so she had prepared her heart already. “I am not going to bla you, child. I am just curious as to what type of baby you two will create.”
They all started chatting while moving into the house. As they chatted, Dewna beca sowhat frustrated. She had not eaten in more than half an hour! Moreover, the white dress this woman with an ample bosom had was very tight and impossible to open.
“Verena! Be careful!”
Verena blinked, and then a ripping sound spread around.
The mature Sylvan looked down with a baffled expression, only to find two thorny tentacles moving into Dewna’s flower. Looking further down, her face froze. ‘My dress… If this little one wasn’t my granddaughter… Heh.’
Thankfully, everyone in the room was female and friends, so her breasts bouncing out freely didn’t really matter much to her. However, the dress she was wearing was one of her favorites. Seeing the mischievous little Alraune latch onto her, she sighed and patted her back while covering herself with the dregs of the dress. “There is nothing there, love. Grandma will create in the future, okay? Just wait until then.”
Dewna looked up and suddenly opened her little mouth, biting down with her sharp canines and forcing a strange substance to seep into Verena through her pores. “Hisss! You little Poppy Flower! What are you… doing… Eh?”
Everyone saw Verena’s expression changing from anger, to confusion, to shock, to utter bewildernt. Verena’s defenses were naturally too high for the little Alraune to pierce. However, seeing her delighted face as her mouth moved busily, everyone could more or less understand why Verena was utterly stunned.
Verdantia coughed and asked. “So… Did she… influence lactating on you?”
Verena pointed at the sucking darling and looked at her daughter. “What kind of adorable little monster did your lover give birth to? She already has an ability only a mature and powerful Alraune should have!”
Verdantia smiled wryly. “Well, she has been in Liu’er’s bosom since birth…”
Everyone digested the words, and their eyes widened. “Right… She has been feeding off of a World Tree since birth.”
Flor rubbed her forehead. “We need to teach her that she is not to hunt intelligent races. Otherwise, she will commit quite a lot of… offenses, to put it mildly, in the future.”
Everyone realized and started planning on teaching the baby well. Otherwise, they could imagine many scenarios where things beca too complicated!
