Chapter 259: Divine Tree Planting: Planetary and Stellar Energy

Looks like you've taken back all your power.

After reclaiming all chakra, Huiye's strength increased a notch; now in terms of energy level, Huiye is not much weaker than him and Akèmengde, but battle experience is forever Huiye's pain!

This girl's combat level is terrible! "Hmm! All the chakra in this world originally comes from me; after I reclaim all chakra, I will condense a defective chakra fruit. Do you want it?" Huiye asked.

This time, I once and for all reclaimed all the chakra on the entire planet, even plundering a considerable amount of senjutsu-attributed chakra, and with the Divine Tree, it has already taken root on this world for a thousand years.

Although it hasn't absorbed enough nutrients, over the years when ninjas die, their chakra doesn't just vanish; it's all absorbed by the Divine Tree.

Thus a defective chakra fruit has been produced; although it's merely a defective product, it's far inferior to a true chakra fruit.

But eating it also grants tremendous power—at least power that ordinary people dare not even imagine.

Oh! If I eat this chakra fruit, roughly what level could my strength rise to?" Luode asked.

I never expected Huiyeji's Divine Tree to also condense a chakra fruit, and she didn't choose to eat it herself but instead asked me.

You now possess the Rinnegan, so you inherently have some chakra, but compared to the other two energies within you, it's far weaker; after eating this defective fruit.

It should be able to raise the amount of chakra in your body, but it probably won't match those two energies inside you; it'll be about half." Huiye said.

Half! That would be equivalent to Sargeras or Azeroth personally infusing me with half a demonic energy or life force, right?

Even a defective chakra fruit can elevate a mortal to demigod-level power; no wonder Huiye cultivated the Divine Tree's fruit to give to her son.

Three demigod-level beings could at least repel a wave of Ootsutsuki clan members.

This already makes me very pleased; I always keep my word, Huiye, as long as you're willing to help me plant the Divine Tree, I will absolutely not mistreat you in the future." Luode said.

Luode was considering whether to bring Huiyeji to his own world to let Sargeras or Azeroth take a look.

But he needed to warn her beforehand not to talk nonsense, especially not to reveal anything about the Divine Tree.

Just remember your promise! The chakra fruit needs a few days to fully mature; during this time, please wait patiently, and I also need to tidy up my world." Huiye said.

Hmm! Right, your Divine Tree, if I recall correctly, should have previously borne a fruit.

That is, as long as the Ten Tails is planted, it can continuously produce chakra fruits, right?" Luode asked.

Your understanding is slightly off; my Divine Tree is special; if you want to obtain a complete chakra fruit.

then when the Divine Tree fully matures, the entire planet will be drained of all its energy and destroyed, a complete destruction.

Thus, even the Divine Tree rooted in the planet's core cannot survive; it will exhaust all its power.

So, to produce a complete chakra fruit, it requires consuming one Ootsutsuki clan member, a Divine Tree seed, the Ten Tails, a living planet, and a millennium of time." Huiye said.

Planting a Divine Tree isn't that simple; my Divine Tree only devoured a defective Ootsutsuki clan member.

It never got the chance to grow into a true Divine Tree, so it doesn't drain the planet's chakra dry, allowing it to continually flower and bear fruit.

But the fruit it bears is worlds apart from a true chakra fruit.

You mean this kind of incomplete chakra fruit, your Divine Tree can still bear it in the future, right?" Luode asked.

This Ootsutsuki family's Divine Tree is somewhat like the Spirit Tree from the Dragon Ball world! Kishimoto must have been inspired by that bird uncle.

Speaking of Azeroth's world, since it can accommodate a Marvel World Tree, could Azeroth nourish a true Divine Tree, turning it into its own innate symbiotic spiritual root?

There are still many special celestial bodies in the universe; the condensation of a chakra fruit requires absorbing the entire planet's power,

while a planet's energy is vastly inferior to other celestial bodies in the cosmos, such as stars, gas giants, neutron stars, white dwarfs; perhaps I can bring a Ten Tails to show Azeroth.

The Ootsutsuki clan cannot mobilize stellar power, but Sargeras has personally admitted that their Titans can.

So Azeroth can likewise do it, mobilizing a star's power to feed the Divine Tree—what would happen?

In the entire universe, the greatest energy source is stars.

One could even try using Asgard's divine power, or the power of cosmic heavenly gods, to feed the Divine Tree.

But first we need to confirm whether the Divine Tree can absorb stellar energy; if it can only absorb the energy of living planets, that would be problematic. "Yes, though it would take a long time and require many humans to refine chakra, then after death use their own chakra to nourish the Divine Tree." Huiye said.

Even a defective version of the chakra fruit isn't that easy to make.

I want to know, does your clan have any specific conditions for planting a Divine Tree? For example, what kind of planet should be chosen?" Luode asked.

It must be a solid planet, preferably one with plants and life, because only such a planet contains vast life force, suitable for planting a Divine Tree." Huiye said.

What about stellar energy—namely the sun's power—can it let the Divine Tree grow? And if I wanted, could it accelerate the Divine Tree's growth?" Luode asked.

Even if the Divine Tree is planted, Luode will still need to find a way to accelerate its growth; otherwise waiting a thousand years would be a joke—given the myriad worlds, this old man wouldn't even know what he'd have grown into.

The Time Gem from the Marvel world, which is some kind of time-related device in other worlds, perhaps could hasten rapid growth.

I know what you mean; stellar energy is indeed strong and very suitable for the Divine Tree.

However, you can't plant anything on a star; the temperature there would instantly incinerate even a Ten Tails to ashes." Huiye said.

The outer layer of a star's core is violent energy; the internal core temperature has reached terrifying tens of thousands of degrees, even tens of thousands, and the Divine Tree would be instantly burned to death.

Let alone taking root and growing on it.

I understand; I said, if there exists a powerful being capable of manipulating stellar energy, then having it feed stellar energy to the Divine Tree, could the Divine Tree absorb stellar energy to grow?" Luode posed the question.

If such a being truly exists, then his ability has already reached the Ootsutsuki clan's lifelong pursuit of a deity-level existence.

For such a being, a chakra fruit would be utterly useless." Huiye said.

Joking aside, if there truly existed a being capable of mobilizing stellar energy to feed the Divine Tree, would it really need a chakra fruit? This thing is completely unnecessary for him.

No no no, later I'll take you to meet someone; perhaps we can let the Divine Tree undergo a bit of evolution, who knows." Luode said.

We should first discuss this with Azeroth; then bring a seed to show Azeroth, to confirm whether this Divine Tree is viable or not.

Well, I'm actually looking forward to that; if such a being truly protects us, we would have nothing to fear from the Ootsutsuki clan." Huiyeji said.

It seems this guy hasn't completely deceived himself; he indeed knows an immensely powerful being.

Then what about accelerating the Divine Tree's growth? For instance, letting it produce chakra fruit faster—would that work?" Luode asked.

No, otherwise the Ootsutsuki clan would have long done that; frankly, it's still about energy tier—the Divine Tree can absorb the highest grade of energy, which is planetary energy.

And the Divine Tree's absorption ceiling is just that high; otherwise we'd also hope to drain a planet in decades or even days, making our task much easier." Huiye said.

What about some time-based devices? For example, something that could accelerate the flow of time for an entire planet?" Luode asked.

Your suggestion is theoretically feasible; accelerating the planet's time would cause the Divine Tree to absorb its energy at a faster rate.

"However, wanting to find such an item is basically impossible, right? And this also belongs to the realm of the gods." Huoyeji shook her head and said.

Your suggestion has already been considered by the Datongmu clan, but they all belong to the realm of the gods.

"We can try; I know of a world that has a powerful treasure called the Infinity Stones, and among them there is a stone called the Time Stone."

One can freely manipulate the power of time.

"Maybe we can borrow a Time Stone, and I happen to have some Time Stone energy on me." Luode said.

The last time he went to the Marvel world, he absorbed a lot of the Infinity Stones' energy; although a large portion was given to Azeroth, he Luode still privately kept a portion.

He has stockpiles of the Power Stone, Reality Stone, Time Stone, and Space Stone energy.

"If that's the case, we can try." Huoyeji also felt somewhat moved.

If it were really possible to accelerate the Divine Tree's growth, she wouldn't even dare to imagine what would happen.

Stellar energy, and time acceleration.
