Chapter 1380

"It seems the Divine Tree, apart from being able to provide favorable conditions for the rapid growth of plants within a range, doesn't seem to have any other use, right?"

Lin Cheng's question left Valkyrie Ailin's little head a bit dazed—what did he mean by saying the Divine Tree, apart from the power to provide favorable conditions for the rapid growth of plants within a range, had no other use?

The Divine Tree was clearly very important.

That said, Valkyrie Ailin suddenly thought—the Divine Tree had always been passed down by word of mouth as very important, but where exactly was it important?

Right now, she really couldn't seem to say.

"Anyway…the tree is just very important." Valkyrie Ailin puffed up her cheeks and pursed her lips, insisting stubbornly.

Watching her like this, Lin Cheng had already roughly guessed in his heart.

"Then let me ask one thing first." He took out his little notebook, ready to take notes.

"Hmm? Can the Divine Tree be eaten? Does it bear any special fruit?"

"It can't be eaten, but every hundred thousand years the Divine Tree will produce a seed, which can be used to grow another Divine Tree."

"Ugh…that's the same as saying nothing." Lin Cheng held his forehead, speechless.

"I'll keep asking you."

"Okay!"

Valkyrie Ailin quickly nodded, like an elementary school student called on by the teacher—straightening up, inexplicably nervous yet expectant.

"Does the Divine Tree produce any special items? For example, some Water of Life condensed from dense vitality?"

"No…but the sap of the Divine Tree does indeed possess very dense vitality."

"Can it be used to heal injuries?"

"Never tried—the Divine Tree is very important, no elf would dare treat it that way, and there's no need. Elven priests already possess powerful healing magic. If one priest isn't enough, then ten, a hundred, a thousand—it's said that a thousand seventh-tier elven priests can perform a divine art, rumored to have revived the first-generation Elven Empress, allowing her to successfully escape from the Underworld, but the price was also very great."

"Understood."

Listening, Lin Cheng quickly recorded the legend Valkyrie Ailin mentioned in his little notebook.

Legends about resurrection and such…just hearing it gave off a feeling of exaggeration.

But if it was the elven race from their peak period, it might really be possible.

As for now, whether the elven race even had a hundred seventh-tier or above elven priests was already a question. Lin Cheng casually wrote a line in his little notebook: "The truth of the matter remains to be verified."

"Then apart from the characteristic of accelerating plant growth, does the Divine Tree have any other effects?"

After thinking for a while, Valkyrie Ailin drooped her head, full of dejection, and said stubbornly.

"The Divine Tree is very important!"

"Oh right! We will pray to the Divine Tree!!!" This was a certain elven girl's final stubbornness. But it was still useless.

"Mm, spiritual belief as expected." Lin Cheng nodded calmly—it was just that, really. He had thought Lin Cheng would have some reaction, but no matter what, Valkyrie Ailin never imagined that Lin Cheng would appear so indifferent after hearing words about praying to the Divine Tree.

Could it be that he had no faith?

The Empress had once said that a person without faith was like a lonely traveler lost in the forest, without an elf to love for a lifetime—that was truly terrifying.

Valkyrie Ailin thought fearfully, silently clenching her fist to cheer herself on—she would definitely make Lin Cheng find his own faith.

The truth, however, was that Lin Cheng, who came from modern life, didn't need faith. He believed in science, or rather his faith was himself—aphorisms like "nothing in this world is difficult for a willing mind," and so on.

Valkyrie Ailin wanted Lin Cheng to have faith just like her, but instead she was persuaded by Lin Cheng, whose scientific conviction was firm. Even Valkyrie Ailin hadn't expected that there would be a day when she gave up useless prayer and instead believed in science—of course, that's all later in the story.......

After finishing his notes, Lin Cheng closed his little notebook with a look of unfinished desire, then tossed it into his system space.

Valkyrie Ailin beside him watched, completely baffled—anyone who didn't know would think Lin Cheng had some strange quirk. In truth, Lin Cheng was lamenting that Valkyrie Ailin knew too little.

As an inheritor of science, he was serious about research—even if it was just a tree, as long as that tree had value, had value to him, he would study it seriously.

For the elven race, the spiritual significance of faith in the Divine Tree was greater than its physical meaning. From Valkyrie Ailin's mouth, one could learn that the Divine Tree was actually just something that came with a factor for rapid plant growth within a range—everything else was either unknown, or simply couldn't draw attention.

But when the human race talked about the elven race's Divine Tree, every colleague in the Zaoshigong Society unanimously considered it a divine-grade material rarely seen in time, which could be used to forge divine artifacts—but as for what specific divine artifacts, they didn't know.

It seemed the elven race didn't have any famous divine artifacts either. Even if they did, Lin Cheng wouldn't know about the human race's divine artifacts—Lin Cheng had never heard of them either.

An inexplicable pang of bitterness—his qualifications were too shallow, not even worthy of knowing about divine artifacts.

Lin Cheng absolutely didn't believe Emperor Tianwu's Empire had no divine artifacts, but divine artifacts certainly wouldn't reveal themselves easily, or divine artifacts with self-awareness couldn't possibly be studied by forgers, so it was normal that he hadn't heard of them.

There should be opportunities to come into contact with them in the future.

Too bad there were no complete facilities here, and he wasn't a student majoring in botany. Pity—even so, a conclusion could still be drawn.
