When they die, their souls will not go to the god of their race but instead to the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, where they will be reborn within the Dragon Oak Dream Realm.
This was Gaven’s initial vision for the Dragon Oak Mother Tree—turning her into a sacred sanctuary for the Gnolls, subtly weakening their racial god’s influence over them and shaping them according to his own will, forging them into the perfect creators in his hands.
As the power of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree gradually beca refined, this purpose was nearly forgotten, and now it is rely revisited.
The life force of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree running through it, while not overly strong, acts like roots, stabilizing the elental energies imnsely and allowing for greater absorption of elents.
Hou!
Shanoba let out an excited roar.
She adored this man. Every ti he ca, he brought her surprises.
To her, the Dragon Oak Mother Tree was a dium, enabling her to extend her abilities along the tree to the other side, where there were just as many Gnolls as in Colossus City.
There was no need for her to issue orders; the Gnolls seed to sense it themselves. One by one, they accepted these energy tendrils, joining the grand Ascending Dragon Ritual on the other side of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree.
The surging numbers imdiately triggered a new response in her Dragon Dog Mutual Aid—its fourth upgrade.
Fourth Upgrade (80,000): Mother Tree’s Favor—When you use this ability, you will receive the favor of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, granting you empowernt. All the Gnolls within the Mother Tree will join the effort.
When this ability erged, Shanoba felt her Perception expand further, stretching from the Dragon Oak Mother Tree to the Dragon Oak Acorn Tree. In the next mont, it encompassed Eagle Cliff Town’s 15,000 Gnolls.
This was almost monstrous.
It ant that wherever the Dragon Oak Mother Tree’s tendrils extended, Shanoba could reach as well, and the Gnolls there would count as her lieges, falling under the influence of her abilities—ultimately becoming her powerful allies.
The increasing number of Gnolls she influenced did more than simply unlock new abilities; it also caused her Professional Level to rise at a terrifying speed—almost one level per month.
In the past, this was sothing unimaginable.
Through this Ascending Dragon Ritual, her Professional Level would jump by another level.
Because on the Dragon Oak Mother Tree’s side, Gnolls were undergoing massive transformations—Dragonization, Dragon Blood, Dragon Vein Gnolls were sprouting like mushrooms after a rainstorm. The frequency of Dragon Vein ergence left even Shanoba astonished.
The speed was simply too fast.
It wasn’t one erging at a ti, but entire groups.
She couldn’t help but suspect—was the Dragon Oak Mother Tree turning all her Gnolls into Dragon Vein Gnolls?
Aside from the small Gnolls, the adult Gnolls under the Dragon Oak Mother Tree indeed showed signs leaning toward this direction.
After all, they had long been nourished by the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, their bodies filled with abundant Life Force.
When one person ascends, all others rise to the heavens.
This comprehensive upgrade of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree not only enhanced her own abilities but also allowed everyone here to bask in her glory.
Although he had not directly probed for details, Gaven could be 100% certain that Lord Virginia had already stepped into the Legendary rank, with all attributes significantly upgraded.
Many of these Gnolls were stuck at a bottleneck, just shy of breaking through.
Shanoba leveraged her own power and the collective strength of nurous Gnolls to pierce through this bottleneck.
Not only on the Dragon Oak Mother Tree’s side but also on the Colossus City side, Gnolls—whether Dragon Vein, Dragon Blood, or Dragonized Gnolls—were starting to erge and rise in small batches.
With the intervention of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree and the rapidly multiplying Gnolls, the elental magic capacity of their mutual aid structure had more than doubled.
And the life force of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree was the most natural, purest form of life energy, nourishing both soul and body. She herself had been naturally cultivated through the harmony of an Ancient Red Copper Dragon.
For the Gnolls, there were only benefits and no drawbacks.
Under the interaction of both forces, all the Gnolls were like they had just drunk a bottle of the purest Dragon Blood Potion—providing a brand-new possibility for many who were just a few steps away.
"What is that? Sylvanus, the Father of Oak? That’s not right—I’ve never heard of the Natural God taking on the form of an oak tree. Nor have I heard of any connection between him and dragons, let alone Gnolls or the Grandfather Tree of the Supre Forest?"
This ti, not only did Giharin nearly have his eyes pop out, but Jin Bao, the gno village chief, also leaned over the railing, tiptoeing and craning his neck for fear of missing any detail.
This scenario was sothing unfamiliar even to him—it must be one of the changes brought about by Gaven.
How many cards did this young man have up his sleeve?
Whenever they thought they had a firm grasp of him and understood all his cards, he would turn around and throw out another trump card.
A single ga, with three or four consecutive trump cards—wasn’t this outright cheating?
Yet in this ga, there were no judges; they could only watch as the opponent clutched a handful of trump cards with envy, jealousy, and frustration, but with no recourse.
And the mastermind behind these changes, after completing his actions, did not linger, casually flying back and landing beside the two as though he had rely done sothing trivial.
Giharin and Jin Bao both opened and closed their mouths multiple tis, yet no words ca out.
Because for a mont, they did not know what to say.
In the face of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree’s ethereal presence, any praise would feel insignificant.
And they were not certain whether it was appropriate to inquire about the Dragon Oak Mother Tree’s origins from Gaven, as he had intentionally refrained from explaining the matter—clearly making this one of his secret trump cards.
Even if they asked, he might not divulge the information, only increasing the awkwardness.
