Chapter 2351: Using Many Interesting Items! ? ? Ding! [You have absorbed the essence within the [Dao Scroll: Nature Dao (Old System/Compatible) (S Grade)] x10, [Dao Scroll: Life Dao (Old System/Compatible) (S Grade)] x10, and the [Dao Scroll: Beast Dao (Old System/Compatible) (S Grade)] x10!] FLASH! I felt like I was sent somewhere else for a brief second, that I was surrounded by the beauty of nature, plants, and life itself. Oh, I remember seeing this vision before. It was when I obtained a Divinity of Life or something? Or was it Nature? Slowly, it felt like I was experiencing living many lives of many animals and creatures. Now that I remember, such an enlightenment wasn't normal or natural, people that get Divinities won't get such visions like that... Nah, this had a connection with my Traits, and also perhaps a retelling of all the lives I went through due to the curse of my sisters. Nature around me changed constantly, the warm summer, the withering autumn, the cold winter, and the beautiful spring. I grew and died and grew and died. The forest, it was within me, part of me. I was the trees, the flowers, and the grass below. Animals passed through me, ate my fruits, slept inside of my trunks, had children, and died. Their corpses slowly decayed; their nutrients fell into the soil. And my roots absorbed them, I thanked these creatures for leaving me their bodies upon death, just as I fed them when they were nothing but children. I saw them grow up, live, and prosper, and then return to me, with all the life and nutrients I gave to them. But even I wasn't immortal, my forest slowly died off, even me, as I lived for so long, slowly grew older, and older, and older... One night, thunderstorms above the skies created lightning, and the thunders truck me many times. Slowly, I burned and created a fire, the life I created, the beautiful, lush domain, all gone in the blink of an eye. I slowly withered, burning, every part of me burned, it hurts, it hurts so much. Darkness swallowed me. Just like I feed and gave life to so many, it was now my time to die. Even trees as old as me die off, eventually. But the seeds I left behind, my children, will benefit from the soil I left behind. Covered by my ashes, full of nutrients. I leave the future of the forest to you. ... "Ah!" It was but a second, but it almost made me gasp for air. I think I just experienced all three Daos enlightenment at the same time! Damn. Ding! [You have successfully absorbed the knowledge and enlightenment over Nature, Life, and Beasts.] [Your [Developing Dao of Nature], [Developing Dao of Life], and the [Developing Dao of Beasts] have Ranked Up into Rank 3: Divine Daos!] Good, they're Rank 3 now, much better. Though not enough, can't I raise them more? Maybe if I refine the Daos using a lot of Cosmic Energy and force myself the enlightenment. But for now, I think that's enough. The other things I can consume are these... [Random Lesser Skill Grimoire (Old System/Compatible) (C Grade)] x100 [Random Lesser Stat Boosting Elixir (Old System/Compatible) (C Grade)] x100 [Genesis' Supreme Goddess of Life and Nature's Cosmic Divine Arm of Yggdrasil Wood and All-Healing Sap (SSS Grade)] x1 [Genesis' Supreme Goddess of Life and Nature's Divine Cosmic Soul Cluster (SSS Grade)] x1] I think I could use the last two not on myself but on Yggdrantia, would she be able to evolve to an even stronger form with that? She still has yet to reach Max Level though, but she's getting there. Or I could eat them and them everything for myself... What could I get? Perhaps more Stats, and maybe Skills, and the Divine Authorities. All regarding Life, Nature, and maybe also Beasts, would the Daos also be boosted? Hmm, but Yggdrantia... There's no way I'll find better evolution materials for her than these! Okay I'll restrain myself and save them for her, after all she's an Ego so I have her "equipped", all her power and abilities are also mine to use in that way. There are also these, the Skill Grimoires and Elixirs. These are oldies from the previous System too, so they're weaker than the usual I get. Apparently I can get "Lesser Skills" from the grimoires and random stat boosts from the elixirs. There are too many of those damn grimoires though, should I even use them all on myself? It does give a lot of skill fusion material, but maybe I should save them for others. I have plenty of skills and I can even purchase plenty more if I want anyways. As for the Elixirs, I just ate them all with a single bite. Ding! [You have consumed [Random Lesser Stat Boosting Elixir (Old System/Compatible) (C Grade)] X100!] [A Random Amount of Stats has been granted for each Elixir consumed (1000-10000)] [You have gained 1.200.000 to All Stats!] FLASH! I felt stronger. Wait, all stats too? Not bad! "Where are we going now mwaster?" wondered Mao, clinging to me without end. "I wanted to go check on Astraea and Andromeda, it'll be a nice time for you to met them too," I said with a smile. "I think Andromeda did got to know you- Oh right, Mao, did you assimilate the Origin System?" "Yes gaaoo! It's very interesting... There's a lot of new stuff gao!" she said while wagging her 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢 tail adorably. She's like a fluffy Rimuru... Well, Rimuru has gotten much smarter and matured a lot, Mao is like Rimuru in her early stages of development. Nonetheless, she's so cute and fluffy! As I petted her head and her neck, I moved towards the Under World of my Star System Realm, right beneath this planet's crust. FLASH! There, I saw a huge floating castle of white and silver, made mostly out of advanced technology and powered with cosmic power. And right at the floating castle there was a huge sphere of power, connecting with countless other people. This was the former World Fragment, Realm Core, then World Core, and now, on its immense Radiance, it was now a Star Core. Yes, the Star Core was still underground in here, although the underground didn't look like huge caves anymore. No, it resembled more like just another world of its own.
