Ascension of the Sylvan Cosmos. Chapter 618 618. Talents and Passive Skills Upgrade! Observi

Ti, like always, was fleeting. Months went by, Liu Shu using most of it to shower Vorathen in asteroids. During this ti, her proficiency in using her skills also increased trendously. Of course, while and the others were at Level MAX, that didn't an that there was no room for improvent.

What Liu Shu focused on during this ti was increasing her control. Also, she perfected the manipulation of energy, reducing the energy cost of all her skills.

With her multitude of projects completed across the three worlds, all of Liu Shu's skills saw use and continued to increase in proficiency. She even used the from ti to ti, just to train its effects and increase its proficiency.

The Experience Points Liu Shu accumulated over the last few years reached 17,964,579. With them, Liu Shu inferred that she would've been able to reach Level 107 or so. Nevertheless, that would only increase her strength minutely. On the other hand, there were skills that took preference over Leveling Up just a few levels.

"Hm… I need to increase my World Tree Heart to the S- Rank if I want to move my , , , , and from A- Rank to A Rank. Then, I want to upgrade , , and from A Rank to A Rank."

[Understood. Calculating… Experience Needed to upgrade 5 Skills and 3 Skills: 9,448,818.]

[After looking further, the total cost will be reduced by 22% to 7,370,078 Experience Points.]

[Are you sure you want to upgrade these eight skills?]

"Yes. Do it."

Her heart ached, but she was sure of it. The numbers and capabilities of these skills were already exceptional. So, if she upgraded them by a small sub-tier, her strength would increase by a significant amount, much more than if she were to invest her Experience Points into her Level.

Once she accepted, Liu Shu felt her mind go blank for a second. The energy of the world stirred, and her gaze pierced into the secrets of these skills. With understanding flashing in her mind, the images of several phenona related to them manifested in her mind's eye.

She could see giant auroras that spanned several dozen kiloters, millions of invisible eyes observing the world from beyond the sky and below the earth. Her ability to peer into souls and affect others with her presence also increased, while the purity of her Cerulean Bloodsap increased.

Pulses of pure Ternary Essence lted into her blood, the energy of the world going dim for a few minutes. While all these happened, all creatures and everyone connected to the noticed a refreshing rush surging from the middle of their chest.

Buffs increased in number, millions having spontaneous enlightennts, while all beings saw their minds clear of the fog that they never noticed was there.

anwhile, Liu Shu had beco the lord of elents. With increasing in strength, her ability to affect and summon disasters beca unparalleled. Now, if she concentrated, the forest would be enveloped in ruins, and islands would sink into the ocean.

At the A Rank, her offensive skills were now truly catastrophic.

Finally, deep within Liu Shu's core, the World Tree Heart pulsed once, essence condensing and moving in ways Liu Shu never thought possible. The within her Core Room beca dazed, her athyst eyes glowing with purple light that illuminated the dim .

The young babies around her glanced at their mom, their eyes shining at the magnificent spectacle. Even if they didn't understand what was happening, they couldn't help but beco excited.

Phenona appeared and disappeared for a while, and eventually, Liu Shu recovered her senses. Liu Shu exhaled from her real mouth, and her eyes blinked as she observed the horizon. "...Wow. That was sothing."

Liu Shu was honestly baffled. Since she had always upgraded the A Rank skills one by one, the effects were temporary and never this spectacular. "I guess that breaking through several skill tiers at once is much more strenuous than I initially expected."

Shaking her head lightly, she opened her System Page and looked at the new skill effects. "Hm… Quite impressive numbers. However, nothing has changed in terms of effects. Did I unlock a new fruit?"

She would be doubtful if she did. After all, the skill only increased by a small sub-tier. "Hm… The fruits I can create have not changed. I guess I'll have to wait for the skill to reach S- Rank for new fruits."

She was a bit disappointed, but it didn't get to her for a long ti. Instead, she was expectant. "The fruit I will unlock then will be incredibly potent, right?"

As she looked around and felt the chilly atmosphere, Liu Shu realized that the end of the year was approaching. "The year is ending soon… Next year will be full of interesting events, so I can't wait."

The World Tree, with her eyes open, looked at the city below her. "It's not often that I stop to see the city I've built…"

With her height, she was able to observe the entirety of the gargantuan city. Towering trees stood tall all over the place, but it didn't appear cluttered. Instead, everything was orderly, with plazas and an organized spread of necessary infrastructure. Hospitals, schools, higher education institutions, transportation, leisure… Even her first , , was now deeply rooted as a district inside her gargantuan city.

"The is still closed, but having noticed that the other are slowly opening, I can see several groups that have rented the locations closest to it. The inn is also full."

To cross from one side of the city to the other, people needed to take a detour around . After all, the inner half of the city was restricted to the grand majority of the population.

Even then, the only people who dared complain were those who did not have much else to do.

"Boredom is quite scary…" Liu Shu smiled, not worried in the slightest. She had long co to terms with the fact that she couldn't make everyone happy.

"If we compare the quality of life of fifty years ago and now, the difference is so drastic that even relating them would be difficult."

The way Liu Shu decided how to distribute things was that if it took 45 minutes to walk for a Level 10 person, it was close by. With all the abilities, buffs, and strength increases, people who complained would imdiately be stamped with the "lazy" characteristic by Liu Shu.

"And if they want to be closer to sothing, can't they just move? It's not like apartnts cost too differently from location to location. Moving is one of the easiest things in my city."

After looking at the city for a week straight, with a smile on her lips, Liu Shu closed her eyes again and fused with nature, expanding her consciousness once more, and continued her work across all three worlds.

As their True World Tree, Liu Shu needed to work hard.
