Seeing how Topaz was unable to catch up with her, Ruby's nervous heart quickly cald down, and her courage re-inflated.
"Fufufu, fyu, fyu, fyuu." (Hehehe. What's wrong? You can't catch ?)
"Kyu, kyuu!" (Just you wait!)
Topaz gnashed her teeth as she watched Ruby provoke her while maintaining a safe yet infuriating distance from her.
Ruby showcased her free-spiritedness by "lying on her back" as she faced Topaz with a relaxed look. Jets of flas would burst from her feet to propel her away whenever Topaz got dangerously close.
At the sa ti, a wave of heat would greet Topaz's face each ti, enraging her further.
Although Topaz desperately tried to close the distance, she found it impossible to do.
Topaz was just like an amateur frog-stroke swimr who lacked form and could only try to increase her speed through brute strength. On the other hand, Ruby was a free rider tied to the end of a speedboat.
Nevertheless, while Topaz and Ruby were busy with their ga of cat and mouse, Erald had unknowingly entered a state of deep ditation.
The life energies from the unborn universe seed to resonate with her as they were naturally drawn to her. They easily rged with her spirit body and beca a part of her strength.
Erald was simple-minded and pure.
Even with the influx of life energies increasing her power, she did not try to take control of the life energies. Instead, she let the abundant life energies pour into her spirit body freely.
The natural flow of life energy was the most suited to her growth.
Within a short period, Erald easily advanced her spirit rank several tis, reaching Peak Rank 4 without losing montum. As life energies continued to pour into her spirit body, her strength grew, seemingly without limits.
Ka-cha!
The barrier to becoming a Transcendent-rank Wood Spirit was easily overco. It was as if bottlenecks were non-existent.
Even after reaching Rank 5, Erald's power continued to grow, albeit at a slower rate.
Nevertheless, with each consecutive minor rank advancent, a strange white flower bud would blossom on her head. They were like white lilies, except they were made from pure energy and contained an indescribable power or ability.
Erald's power didn't just increase significantly. She seed to have evolved or awakened into sothing more than just a Wood Spirit; she had inherited the life attribute.
A strong yet gentle and pure aura of life surrounded her being, inspiring worship and respect from other Wood Spirits.
Erald seed to have beco a spirit of life.
Elder Willowthorn and the other Wood Spirits couldn't help but pause their cultivation to offer their respect.
As Erald basked in holy white light and underwent a radiant transformation, they felt like they were witnessing the birth of the life goddess.
Diseases and death would flee from her, and darkness could not dim her radiance.
Perhaps only now Erald could be considered a true Holy Wood Spirit, the symbol of the Wood Spirit Race's prosperity.
Nevertheless, Erald was not the only spirit to have undergone significant changes in a short ti.
Whether it was Elder Willowthorn or the other Wood Spirits in the Garden of Thyia, they had all received the blessings of life energies, which loosened the bottleneck on their chance of evolution.
Even the revitalizing Divine Tree of Life was brought back to life under the influence of Erald's holy aura and the Profound Pearl of Life's boundless life energy.
Originally, it shouldn't have been possible unless the Seed of the World Tree created from the Divine Tree of Life's essence was planted and germinated.
However, the simplest touch of Erald's holy aura could spur vital growth in weak plants and give birth to new ones.
Given most of the Divine Tree of Life's essence was still buried in the Garden of Thyia's soil, it didn't seem as surprising to see the Divine Tree of Life co back to life after being bathed in Erald's holy aura.
Elder Willowthorn and the other Wood Spirit couldn't help but feel emotional after witnessing the true power of the Holy Wood Spirit.
Holy Wood Spirits was simply a blessing to all plantal lifeforms.
With the revival of the Divine Tree of Life ca a new wave of life energy washing over the region like a tsunami. It was like the silent roar of a powerful lifeform that had just erged victoriously from a tough battle.
Of course, it had been easy for the Divine Tree of Life to put itself in a death-like state with no hope of reawakening on its own.
After the first wave of life energy, a second, a third, and a fourth wave followed like a pulse. The Divine Tree of Life greedily devoured the life energy from the Profound Pearl of Life before releasing it in greater abundance.
It didn't take long before the region occupied by the Garden of Thyia beca heavily concentrated with life energy.
Although the Divine Tree of Life was revived ahead of ti, the Seed of the World Tree in Vaan's possession did not beco a useless object.
After all, it possessed the Divine Tree of Life's essence. It could still beco an offshoot that shared the Divine Tree of Life's consciousness.
If planted outside, it could beco the Divine Tree of Life's extended eyes and ears. Elder Willowthorn and the older generation of the Wood Spirits couldn't help but shed tears emotionally as they welcod the return of their Mother Tree.
"We miss you so much, Mother!"
"I have missed you all too, my children."
The Wood Spirits and Mother Tree conveyed their heartfelt feelings to each other.
The Mother Tree had given the Wood Spirits life and nurtured them when they were small, helpless, and uneducated. Thus, she would always be their mother, no matter how big and
mighty they may grow.
Shortly after the Wood Spirits stabilized their emotions, the Mother Tree's consciousness shifted her focus elsewhere.
Unknowingly, Erald's spirit body had beco completely wrapped in white light like a cocoon with zero indications of erging anyti soon.
The Mother Tree extended her vine-like roots and gently wrapped around the cocoon before reeling it into her embrace. The Holy Wood Spirit's evolution was safer under her protection. It was the least she could do for her benefactor.
