In the stone chamber cemetery deep in the desert, Abote held the water saved yesterday and walked carefully toward the distance.

Ang gave him a fist-sized non-withering spring stone, which can condense a lot of water every night. Besides drinking it himself, Abote saved the extra water to water the trees.

Arriving at the place where Ang originally placed the planting ball, after taking away the planting ball, a large pit fell here. Beside the large pit, a crooked and malnourished dead tree was stuck there.

If Ang returned here, he probably wouldn't recognize that this dead tree was actually a World Tree.

When the World Tree was planted, with the help of the vitality of the vegetables in the planting ball, the World Tree grew for a period of time. After Ang moved the planting ball away, where is there life in the desert? So it withered quickly.

Abote felt sorry. It is very difficult to see a little green in the desert, not to mention a tree. However, he was mentally prepared for this kind of ending, just habitually coming here for a stroll every day, just as after-meal exercise.

Unexpectedly, a week ago, a bud actually sprouted on the withered tree trunk. It was tender green and very cute.

"This dead tree is going to rejuvenate?" Abote was so excited, just like he was about to rejuvenate himself.

Since then, he has saved a little water every day, waiting to pour it on the dead tree in the evening, because after the sun goes down, the evaporation rate of water vapor will slow down, and crops can also absorb more water. This is what Ang taught him.

The flower bud grew day by day. Abote thought the water he poured worked, and his heart was so excited. There is no thing more moving than seeing the germination of new life in the desert.

Today, as usual, holding water, Abote walked toward the dead tree, suddenly seeing sand and dust rising in front, and a 'tree' was running wildly past him with its waist twisting crazily.

When passing by, it even glanced at Abote and threw down a sentence: "Don't drink water..." and ran away.

The sand and dust dissipated, and a leaf that was green beyond words drifted to Abote's feet. Abote picked it up, and as soon as he got it, he felt its extraordinary nature. There was a cool and invigorating aura.

"The tree that just ran past, could it be the one that bloomed from that flower bud?" Abote suddenly had a premonition, especially thinking of the sentence "Don't drink water" from the other party.

Walking to the place where the dead tree was, he saw that the tender green flower bud was indeed gone, and even the tree trunk seemed to have exhausted its last vitality, splitting from the middle.

Abote was stunned for a while, recalling the whole process, and muttered: "I poured you water for so many days, you don't drink water, but still thank me and leave me a leaf? Is that what it means?"

Raising the leaf to his eyes and sniffing it, an indescribable feeling rushed into his nasal cavity, making his whole body jolt, and then he had a strong impulse, couldn't help but lick the leaf.

It melted in his mouth. The tender green leaf melted in Abote's mouth. In an instant, Abote felt his whole body full of strength, rejuvenated, and he could kill a few dragons with his bare hands if they came.

That running tree, its waist was about to twist into an afterimage, raising sand and dust all the way, running wildly toward the southeast.

All the way was a desolate desert, until passing by a dam, the irrigation areas on both sides were planted with tender green vegetables, and the running tree was overjoyed, rushing toward these green vegetables.

I saw all the crops sprouting green, accelerating growth, welcoming the arrival of the 'tree'.

The tree was also growing. Its roots grew long and thick, twisted into longer legs, took bigger steps, and passed through the irrigation area at a faster speed, passed through two transparent semi-circular balls, and came to the mountain range along the river.

Crossing the river valley, crossing the mountain range, coming to a piece of desolate black land, its newly grown long legs were also worn away, but it still didn't lower its speed, twisting and rushing into Iron Shacheng, flying all the skeletons and zombies that gathered around, and ran to Ang.

"Life Praise! What's going on? Why did it produce Life Praise?" The tree herder asked excitedly and excitedly.

"Why are you here? Where did you come from?" Nai Ge Li Si didn't answer, but asked back for the first time.

Damn it, this is already another world. Where did the God of Life pop out from?

Ang also tilted his head in confusion.

"There is a World Tree here, so I came. Hurry up and say, how did it activate Life Praise?" The God of Life asked anxiously. It is hard to imagine that it would have such an urgent time with its slow nature.

"World Tree?" Speaking of this, Ang and Nai Ge Li Si immediately thought of the World Tree planted when they first arrived. Not to mention everyone forgot about it, wasn't it already dead?

Ang moved the planting ball away. Without vitality nourishment, the World Tree would only wither constantly.

But it doesn't matter, Ang has plenty of World Trees. Anyway, the old tree only requires them to plant World Trees everywhere, and doesn't require them to be alive.

Even if it is alive, it doesn't matter. Nai Ge Li Si has cut down no less than a thousand World Trees. A place cannot support too many World Trees, and they will have to be cut down sooner or later.

Ang took out a few life gems: "It, eat this."

"Such strong vitality." The old tree took it, and the green in the life gems immediately entered its body along its hand.

The root buds that were about to be worn away on the old tree immediately grew new buds, twisted into long legs again, and a lot of green appeared on its head.

"No, vitality alone cannot catalyze Life Praise. There must be other reasons," the old tree said.

"Can you tell us what Life Praise is first? Is it because of this that you drilled over from another world?" Nai Ge Li Si asked.

The old tree nodded, and then shook its head: "I can't say clearly what it is, but that is definitely the supreme praise of life. Now find a place to plant it first."

Ang hurriedly asked: "Does it need to be fertile?"

"No need, no need. Anyway, for it, it's the same everywhere," the old tree said.

Since there is no requirement for the land, then plant it here. The little tree seedling has been 'ya' at him for a long time.

As soon as the seed fell to the ground, it immediately sprouted, grew roots and pierced into the soil, and then...

Looking at the seed that only sprouted a tender bud but had no change, Ang tilted his head, looked at the little tree seedling, and then looked at the old tree.

Things are not urgent anymore. The old tree returned to its slow appearance before, slowly saying: "Take root."

Ang swept with his will, and sure enough, although the bud on the surface didn't grow, the roots in the ground kept extending downward, growing more and more robust.

Ang took out water and asked: "Watering?"

The old tree shook its head.

Ang took out insect ash liquid and asked: "Top dressing?"

The old tree shook its head.

Ang took out compound fertilizer mixed with farm manure, plant ash, bird droppings, etc.: "Fertilizing?"

The old tree replied impatiently: "No need. The praise of life will be conceived in the most hostile environment."

So you don't need to care? Ang looked at the little tree seedling hesitantly, and the little tree seedling also 'looked' at him blankly.

Nai Ge Li Si then asked: "Since you don't need to care, tell me how you came over first?"

The old tree pointed to the direction it came from and said: "There, World Tree, my seed."

"Your will transfer can be so far? Can you transfer other things over? Can you help us transfer all our family belongings over?" Nai Ge Li Si asked.

The old tree ignored him and turned to want to leave with a twist.

Nai Ge Li Si hugged it, sprayed a dragon breath to the side, and said fiercely: "Since you are here, you have to leave something behind. Otherwise, when this Life Praise is completed, we won't call you. By the way, you haven't said what this Life Praise is."

The old tree pulled two seeds from its head, threw them on the ground, and then said: "I don't know either. I haven't achieved Life Praise either, but I know that completing it will bring the little tree's life to an unprecedented height, a height higher than me."

"Hiss—" Even Du Luo Ken, a lich who doesn't need to breathe, couldn't help but gasp.

Who is the old tree? A super life form of one hundred thousand years. Because it lives too casually, no one knows its strength, but Du Luo Ken knows that even His Majesty doesn't want to provoke this kind of super life form.

Life Praise, can make the little tree seedling reach a height that the old tree cannot reach? What level of giant tree must that be?

The little tree seedling waved its true leaves at the two seeds thrown on the ground by the old tree, sending out enthusiastic information: "Hard—grow—hard—grow—"

The two seeds quickly took root and sprouted, growing robustly. Although there was no death halo, their growth speed was far faster than having a halo, and they grew into tree herders more than one meter tall in a blink of an eye.

Such a little tree seedling that only knows how to make things 'grow', can it become a height that the old God of Life cannot reach? Nai Ge Li Si couldn't believe it. Turning his head again, the old tree had walked far away with a twist.

"Mysterious all day long, just left two tree herders? Stingy ghost." Nai Ge Li Si complained.

For the next few days, Ang was simply 'not thinking about tea and rice', and even stopped farming, squatting in front of the Life Praise seedling all day, observing its growth.

The roots of the seedling had pierced twenty meters into the ground and were still extending deeper, but its branches and leaves just wouldn't grow, always maintaining the state of a tender bud.

"It's worthy of being the seeds borne on the little tree seedling, all so lazy, not growing tall." Nai Ge Li Si complained.

They were bored and guarding the tender bud, but Du Luo Ken and Yinbi were busy. There were too many and too complicated things to occupy a city, and they had no manpower to use. They had to reuse the old team. How to ensure they wouldn't disobey was a big problem.

But this couldn't stump Yinbi. The power of money can make all unwilling people become enthusiastic and loyal.

Plus Iron Shacheng is a resource city, the biggest industry is iron mining, and the personnel are either miners or businessmen, and the composition is simple. In a few days, the order in the city returned to normal.

Then, Yinbi got important data on population, food, treasury, etc.

"Lord, Iron Shacheng doesn't produce food either, and can't be self-sufficient. We need to speed up the purchase of food or reclaim land to grow food to solve the food problem. Maybe we need your support for some elf beans in the early stage," Yinbi said.

Ang nodded, opened the Divine Realm and took out ten bags of elf beans. He has nothing else, just plenty of elf beans. With the energy of the faith storm, he catalyzed as many elf beans as a forest, enough for everyone on the main plane to eat for a year.

The total population of this world may not be as large as the main plane, and even if all of them are raised, they can be raised. The main limitation is the speed of transfer.

He can transfer a bag of elf beans in twenty minutes, which is a full thirty thousand, enough for ten thousand people to eat for a day.

But Yinbi won't let everyone eat their fill. He grinds the elf beans into powder, mixes them with flour and vegetables to make rapeseed cakes. First, it can cover up the existence of elf beans, and second, it can save some beans. A bag of beans can let ten thousand people eat for two days.

The residents in the city lined up to receive rapeseed cakes, ate them with gratitude, and the strong satiety brought satisfaction and gratitude, which made Ang harvest another wave of soul flames.

The power of the God of Planting is so unreasonable. As long as you eat Ang's food, even if you are not his believer, you must contribute power to him.

With the absorption of these soul flames, a new leaf suddenly sprouted from the tender bud on the ground.

"Eh? A new leaf grew?" Nai Ge Li Si also discovered this situation and said in surprise.

A tree herder walked over from afar: "Yes, yes, a new leaf grew. How could this be?"

"Eh? Why are you here again? Didn't you leave?" Nai Ge Li Si was shocked by the old tree's mysterious ability.

"Leave? Where to? I didn't leave. I went to find new life. There is a newly reclaimed terraced field on the mountain more than fifty kilometers away. Life is vigorous there, and I went to bless them," the old tree said.

Nai Ge Li Si said in a huff: "That terraced field was reclaimed by us. Don't talk about this. Tell me why it grew a new leaf? What caused it? Can it accelerate growth? It's been several days, and only one leaf grew. When will it grow to exceed you?"

If it grows at this speed, to exceed the height of the Tree of Life, I'm afraid it will take more than ten thousand years.

The old tree was also very curious, looking at the tender bud, and then looking at Ang and the little tree seedling, saying: "Are you symbiotic?"

Symbiotic? Ang tilted his head in confusion, and the little tree seedling also tilted its head blankly.

"So that's how it is. That's why the little tree has been not growing, because you are symbiotic, sharing a vitality," the old tree said.

Nai Ge Li Si couldn't help but ask: "Sharing a vitality? What are the benefits? Will Ang's lifespan be longer? If the little tree seedling can live for one hundred thousand years, then half each? Can each live for fifty thousand years? Isn't that a loss? Ang is the God of Undead."

"No, an immortal life is still immortal, so the little tree can use your divine power to accelerate growth. If you want it to grow faster, accumulate more divine power," the old tree finished and took out a fruit: "Do you want to eat?"

"Accumulate divine power? Immortal divine power? Or holy divine power? What is this?" Nai Ge Li Si asked, biting it down by the way.

"Don't know. A tree herder wanted to exchange pollen with me, but I refused. It threw a fruit at me. It might not be a good thing," the old tree said.

After one bite, Nai Ge Li Si, who was bitter to the point of bile, roared angrily: "Damn it, it's not a good thing and you still let me eat it! I'll spray you to death! Heh~heh~"

Unfortunately, the dragon breath was too miniature, only burning two leaves of the old tree.

"Are there tree herders here too? Hey, Ang, where are you going?" Spitting out the fruit that was bitter to the point of bile, Nai Ge Li Si asked curiously, looking back, but found that Ang was about to leave.

"Go to accumulate divine power," Ang said.

"Go to accumulate divine power? Where to accumulate divine power?"
