Chapter 372: Steam Spirit, Miss Wen Di!

This is a steam spirit named Wen Di who was newly born.

She is a bit more timid than Ta Ke had expected.

Moreover, Ta Ke's easy domination of nine‑rank steam spirits serves as a deterrent.

Soon, she rattled on like beans being poured, chattering everything she could and couldn't say, everything that should be said and shouldn't, then stuck out a head under the eaves, behaving obediently and bowing.

Full name: Wen Di·Yi Sha·Ao Bo Lai En·Cha Er Si·Di Ke Li Ya……Fu Lang Duo!

Ta Ke did not expect this unassuming steam spirit to have such a long and tongue‑twisting true name.

And that means, with a normal promotion, she would at least be a Master‑level spirit.

The steam domain radiates widely enough, and its occupied territories are numerous, so becoming a legendary steam spirit is not a big problem.

Even… becoming a deity is not impossible.

There are not many steam spirits that possess her high‑grade steam attributes.

For most steam spirits, the Master level is already the limit. Moreover, many steam spirits are captured and killed early.

Just like the earlier situation, if Ta Ke did not protect her, her fate would most likely be death.

The war of steam spirits is also extremely brutal; on the hidden side, there is equally cruel slaughter among steam spirits.

Yet from this one can see that the depth of the steam sequence is extraordinary.

This is why the Three‑Eyed God·Holy Spirit Empire and the Seven‑Half‑God Realm both fully promote the steam sequence.

It is because these strong beings have seen the potential of the steam sequence.

Just as Ta Ke guessed, Wen Di was born in a remote steam city‑state.

The residents there lived in considerable hardship; often their wages were insufficient for food, clothing, and daily expenses.

After Wen Di was born, her innate compassion led her to rally many city‑state residents against the oppression of those transcendent nobles.

Then… she was expelled.

She drifted along the steam star's orbit for a long time.

When she stole a steam core in the nearby Alumof Half‑God World, she was discovered.

Then… she was hunted.

What followed was the series of events just described.

Having finished listening to Wen Di's account.

Ta Ke quietly contemplated.

"She has a rather wild temperament, though it's unclear how deep that wildness runs; she looks… inexperienced, yet can still be cultivated. At least… she's much better than those steam spirits who treat the steam sequence as a lower tier, with their nostrils pointing to the heavens."

Just as Ta Ke was pondering the subsequent plan.

"Um… are you telling the truth?"

Wen Di, a steam spirit who looked about fifteen or sixteen, stared at Ta Ke with the big eyes of a water spirit.

"What?" Ta Ke paused.

"If I agree to help you coordinate the world's steam and forge a steam core, you will let me reside here and cause me no harm," she said.

"Hmm? You agreed?"

"Ah… how could I not agree?"

Wen Di tucked her head back.

"If I didn't agree, you would probably…"

A hint of slyness flickered at the corner of her eye.

Ta Ke rubbed the bridge of his forehead.

"She has a little cleverness, but not much, and she isn't as naïvely cute and timid as she appears; indeed, wild steam spirits are hard to raise."

Ta Ke waved his hand to dissolve the ground‑drawn prison.

He opened the passage to the steam altar.

"My ceremony is a cooperative one, not coercive; if you don't wish to stay, you may leave entirely!"

That was indeed the truth.

Ta Ke certainly didn't want to keep a troublemaker in his steam world.

"Really?" the steam spirit girl Wen Di blinked and asked.

"Really!"

Ta Ke nodded.

The steam spirit girl Wen Di rushed at top speed into the Heroic Spirit Altar.

"Buzz…"

As the ritual light of the steam altar blossomed, the steam spirit girl Wen Di was about to teleport away.

Then she waved at Ta Ke.

"Uncle, goodbye!"

She then vanished in a flash.

He stared at the empty altar.

Ta Ke rubbed his forehead and said, "Hehe… I thank you for your politeness!"

"Having stepped into the world of transcendent cultivation for twenty‑ or thirty‑some years, it's indeed not short," Ta Ke mused.

The steam spirit girl left, and Ta Ke did not move, quietly waiting.

About five or six minutes later.

"Buzz…"

The light on the altar lit up again.

The water-blue steam spirit girl appeared again.

So, you really want to let me go!

The returning steam spirit girl Wendy hopped down from the altar.

Then she began to curiously observe the surrounding world.

She casually grabbed a clump of steam, tossed it into her mouth, and chewed and swallowed it in big bites.

Next, her nose, ears, eyes, top of her head, etc., emitted a low whistle.

Delicious, delicious, I haven't had such interesting origin-energy steam in a long time.

The steam ecosystem, world tree ecosystem, and insect ecosystem are completely blended together; this taste is strange, yet delicious.

Moreover, the steam ecosystem here is somewhat different from any steam ecosystem I've seen before; that feeling is as if... everything has merged into the world of the steam ecosystem.

Wow... this flame world tree seems like it can be upgraded quickly.

These shark bugs... huh... how do they also have steam ecosystem traits?

Are they also part of the steam sequence?

The steam spirit Wendy, having completely let down her guard, eagerly observed everything around her.

Especially those steam shark bugs greatly aroused Wendy's interest.

Moreover, those steam shark bugs were also very interested in Wendy, swimming around her body, making her giggle nonstop.

Watching the steam spirit run and play with those little steam shark bugs.

Well... let him first adapt to this ecological environment!

Only after being interested in this place and familiar with everything around can we proceed to the next step.

Otherwise, the subsequent work will only be torment.

Moreover... with a steam spirit here, things are already different.

Even if she does nothing and just lives here, she will naturally guide this vast ecosystem to produce steam cores.

As the ecosystem gradually expands, this steam core will not only meet my needs, but might even be exportable.

However, Wendy is clearly not the purely playful steam spirit that Ta Ke imagined.

On the third day after the steam spirit Wendy entered.

Ta Ke was cultivating inside his steam high tower nest when.

The steam spirit Wendy knocked on the door of the top floor of the high tower.

After Ta Ke opened the door.

However, seeing her youthful, pretty face with a touch of seriousness, she looked at Ta Ke solemnly and asked.

Mr. Ta Ke, could you tell me why things are like this here?

During these days, Ta Ke used the steam shark bug network and learned that while the steam spirit Wendy was playing, she also explored the steam shark bug nest.

She explored the steam·flame world tree.

She explored the great steam ring.

Even in the shattered ruins, the front-line garrisoned cabin boundary gate battlefield area's steam shark bug garrison zone, she went there too.

Finally!

This will spirit born of the steam ecosystem.

She sensed the difference between the steam ecosystem of this world and the outside steam ecosystem.

They invited Wendy inside.

Ta Ke took a deep breath, his gaze calm and natural as he looked at her.

What specific aspect do you want to ask about?

Wendy also stared directly at Ta Ke, speaking word by word with utmost seriousness.

Your shark bug ecosystem and steam ecosystem are completely integrated; the steam shark bugs themselves are part of the steam ecosystem, and they can even be seen as a small steam circulation system.

The flame world tree outside is the same; I sense that its ecosystem is transforming into a new species with steam ecosystem traits!

Why is this happening!

After hearing her explanation, Ta Ke lightly exhaled.

The steam spirit's sense of smell for steam ecosystems is indeed extraordinary.

Ta Ke then slowly said.

This is indeed wonderful, but... is there a problem?

There is a problem, and it is a huge, huge problem!

At once, the steam spirit girl Wendy excitedly stood up, waving her small hands as she spoke.

The essence of the steam ecosystem is to use origin-energy steam to develop one's own steam ecosystem.

This requires building steam ecosystem facilities, steam machinery, steam factories, steam high towers, and so on.

No matter what, rigid conditions are needed to maintain it.

But here it's different...

The steam spirit girl Wendy became more serious as she spoke.

Here... the power of steam has completely, thoroughly permeated and even merged into other ecosystems.

Here we don't need steam factories, nor steam high towers, let alone origin-energy steam machines.

Here we only need the expansion of the insect ecosystem, and only need the flame world tree to externally expand ordinary wizard high towers.

Then... the steam ecosystem here will continuously expand.

The steam ecosystem of this world... it already has unfathomable life.

This is entirely a higher-level steam ecosystem.

Higher-grade steam with ecology.

Ta Ke listened to the Steam Miss's exposition, and also gained a further understanding of the newly built "Steam World" he had constructed.

Afterward, Ta Ke said lightly.

"I can accurately tell Miss Wendy, if you are willing to sincerely promote the ecology of the Steam World for me!"

"Then... in the future I can guarantee that the Steam Territory you you oversee will all possess such ecological characteristics."

"Achieving Master Steam Spirit, Legendary Spirit is no problem."

"Even, in the distant future, let you... be recommended to ascend to godhood."

"This amount of power, to me... is actually not difficult."

Ta Ke lightly flicked his finger.

"A bit of the 'Steam World's power jumps at the fingertips!"

"Ah!" Steam Spirit Wendy covered her mouth in surprise.

Her big eyes stared fixedly at Ta Ke's finger.

That is the very familiar power capable of moving steam and the world's ecology.

After a long while, Steam Spirit Wendy then bowed to Ta Ke.

"Lord Ta Ke, I am very willing to cooperate with you."

"Then what should we do next?"

After the shock and turmoil in his heart, the Steam Spirit quickly returned to its former lively and cheerful demeanor.

"Can we create a Steam Core and simultaneously let the planned radiation of steam spread throughout the world?"

"You greatly underestimate our Steam Spirit, Mr. Ta Ke; to me this is extremely extremely extremely simple!" Steam Spirit Wendy said, firmly clenching her little fist.
