Chapter 1243

Ang didn't care about any Tree God or shadow; he just wanted to farm. Unfortunately, he was currently projecting over, his hands couldn't reach into the dimensional space, and he couldn't farm.

Even his other avatar couldn't farm; that avatar was currently protecting Xia Mala and couldn't spare a hand to plant things. One could imagine how bored Ang was.

Now it was good; there was something to plant.

Ang trimmed the shrub branches cut into small sections, habitually wiping the cut ends, his fingers releasing high heat to burn and disinfect the cuts...

However, Ang doubted if this would have any effect. With the high heat of over a thousand degrees here, would there be viruses or bacteria?

Although he didn't know if he needed to disinfect, Ang still chose a portion to disinfect, his fingers releasing high heat of over three thousand degrees, wiping across the shrub's cuts.

The cuts visibly shrank and lost activity, yet the bark showed no change at all, making Negris's teeth ache: "How many degrees is that? Over three thousand, right? Its bark is fine; can it withstand high heat of three thousand degrees? Truly perverted. What kind of tree is this?"

The temperature here had long exceeded Negris's cognition, but seeing a plain shrub branch withstand high heat of over three thousand degrees still made it very uncomfortable.

Ang shook his head, burning the cuts of ten branches separately. One of them was just stuck into the ground. The ground was the leaves of the World Tree, the epidermis incomparably hard. Ang first poked a hole with his finger, then stuck the branch in.

The second one had one end of the cut wrapped in Star Soil.

The third one had one end wrapped in Star Soil, and at the same time, water was poured into the Star Soil, but the water poured into the Star Soil quickly evaporated, causing the Star Soil to clump into a block.

The surrounding air was over a thousand degrees; wouldn't the watered Star Soil be equivalent to a brick embryo? It was burned directly into a whole block.

The fourth one was also wrapped in Star Soil, but Ang pinched open the cooling fire ball, the surrounding temperature instantly dropped by four or five hundred degrees, and the fourth one was placed inside.

The fifth one was also wrapped in Star Soil and watered, but it was placed in the cooling fire ball, so it wouldn't be burned into a block.

The sixth one was frozen first, using an ice spell to freeze it for a few minutes. Some plants need to be cooled first to stimulate their growth, like strawberry seeds; only after cold storage and germination will the germination rate be high.

The seventh one was also frozen first, then wrapped in Star Soil.

The eighth one was frozen first, wrapped in Star Soil, and watered.

The ninth one was frozen first, then stuck in the ground within the range of the cooling fire ball. Kadizi would never dream that its cooling fire ball would become a constant-temperature greenhouse for planting, right?

The tenth one, Ang first dug a hole in the ground, then filled it with water. Although it was in the cooling fire ball, the air temperature was still as high as over five hundred degrees, the water quickly boiled and bubbled, and Ang threw the branch into the boiling water.

After processing the ten branches with burned cuts this way, Ang took out ten branches without burned cuts, processed them the same way, then stepped on footprints, and the Death Aura was activated.

"None, still none, not a single one sprouted. This is too difficult, right?" Negris leaned in close to watch, but after watching for a long time, not a single one sprouted, and it couldn't help but say with some discouragement.

Ang, however, felt nothing. When he was cultivating Magic Rice, Ang felt nothing after tens of thousands of experiments. For a little vegetable-planting skeleton, repetitive and monotonous work was what he liked most. If needed, repeating it for a thousand years wasn't too difficult a thing.

Of course, now he wasn't cultivating a new variety, just making the shrub survive, which was much lower in difficulty. After carefully observing those branches, Ang finally picked up the seventh branch.

Changing location, Ang circled to the bright side, found a depression far away from Kadizi, and drilled into it.

"So sunny, the Divine Star's light is shining directly, at least three or four thousand degrees, right? It's hot enough to kill someone." Negris subconsciously stuck out its tongue.

"Yes, three or four thousand degrees. Who could have thought that in such an environment, there would actually be such a complex life world? The Void is truly full of wonders; not all creatures need elemental balance to be conceived." Anthony sighed.

The reason the Material Plane is important is that the elements there are balanced and can conceive life. Those planes where elements are unbalanced are called the Abyss, and can only give birth to some elemental spirits or monsters, such as demons or undead creatures.

But the environment here is tens of thousands of times worse than the Abyss, yet it still conceived so much life. The material plane life theory is no longer applicable.

Just in this environment of intense light and high heat, Ang repeated the previous steps. Each branch was first frozen, then a portion was placed in the pit to avoid direct sunlight, and a portion was placed outside the pit to be exposed to the sun.

Of the portion exposed to the sun, some were put into the cooling fire ball, so that there was a temperature difference of about five hundred degrees compared to those not put in.

Control experiments are very boring. Thanks to Ang having the Death Aura, he could greatly shorten the waiting time for the experiment; otherwise, one experiment would need to wait for more than ten days or even half a year, which would be too painful.

But fortunately, not long after the second experiment started, one of the branches sprouted a bud, but before it could grow, it quickly withered.

"Oh my, why did it wither? Was it sun-scorched to death?" Negris asked.

Ang shook his head, picked up the branch to look, and saw the black-ash-like Star Soil wrapped on it had actually turned much grayer, the color becoming uneven, lacking the pure black of before.

"Not fertile," Ang said.

Negris said, shocked, "It just sprouted, and it exhausted the fertility in the Star Soil?"

This was Star Soil! Although it hadn't been compared, its fertility might be more potent than insect ash. Ang was equivalent to using powerful fertilizer to directly wrap the branch to urge germination, but it only sprouted one bud, and it exhausted the fertility? This was too terrifying, right?

Fortunately, there was a lot of Star Soil. Ang directly brought over a pile and filled the entire pit.

After comparison, Ang already roughly knew the key to its germination: first, it must be frozen to activate its growth process, then it needs intense light—the stronger the light, the better, but the temperature cannot be too high, best kept at around twenty-five hundred degrees—and finally, it needs huge fertility.

Besides this, it also needs six growing seasons to grow root systems. Germination is fast, but to grow root systems, it needs six growing seasons. If there are no roots, the cutting is not considered a success.

Having mastered the key, Ang soon successfully planted all the remaining branches. The nearby pits were all occupied by him, and each pit had a shrub seedling.

"Worthy of being the God of Planting, getting it done so quickly. Does this count as success? Or does it need to bloom? By the way, what is this shrub called?" Negris chattered on.

Ang didn't care what its name was. He picked the thickest one and reached out to peel its bark.

?? Thanks to book friend for the reward.
