Evolution From the Big Tree

“Seeds of Life…” Muttering to himself, Yu Zi Yu’s gaze could not stop flickering. Undoubtedly, this was quite a remarkable ability. Moreover, it was an Innate Talent.

In other words, it would grow stronger with Yu Zi Yu, giving it immense potential.

Today, he could create a small forest within moments. Tomorrow, with this ability, Yu Zi Yu could potentially give birth to an ancient forest with a single thought.

However, that was not the important thing. The key was that these trees were nurtured by Yu Zi Yu’s Spiritual Energy. In other words, Yu Zi Yu had a certain hope of controlling them.

Perhaps, after a long period, he might lose the ability to control them after his Spiritual Energy had dissipated. However, right after the trees were born, when his Spiritual Energy had not yet dissipated, they could act as extensions of Yu Zi Yu’s limbs.

With this in mind, Yu Zi Yu was eager to test it out.

Having decided, Yu Zi Yu’s consciousness returned to the ground.

Compared to the blood-red plant whose level had fallen and the Human Qian Qin, this newfound ability seemed far more significant.

…

In a rare moment of Yu Zi Yu’s anger, even the mist had dissipated, leaving behind a clear field.

This happened to be just perfect for Yu Zi Yu’s trial.

With this in mind, Yu Zi Yu immediately channeled his Spiritual Energy.

“Seeds of Life.” His thunderous shout echoed like a clap of thunder, shaking the night sky.

At the same time, Yu Zi Yu felt his Spiritual Energy rush out like a torrent, pouring out completely.

In just a few breaths, he had lost tens of thousands of Spiritual Energy. Be that as it may, the spectacle this brought about caused Yu Zi Yu’s pupils to contract.

There was a grassy field just a short distance away.

*Crack, crack, crack…*

Accompanied by intense vibrations, the ground cracked apart. Then, at a speed visible to the naked eye, seedlings emerged one after another, breaking through the soil and growing toward the sky.

In just a matter of moments, dozens of trees sprung up from the ground and entered Yu Zi Yu’s field of vision.

And as Yu Zi Yu’s Spiritual Energy continued to flow, the branches of these trees that had just sprung up from the ground not only split apart the cliff and pierced through the rocks, but they enveloped the entire ground.

In a matter of moments, a lush forest had covered almost half of the canyon. However, compared to an ordinary forest, the branches of these trees resembled the claws and fangs of the devil itself; they looked quite eerie and sinister.

*Tsk, tsk…* Yu Zi Yu could not help but cluck his tongue, marveling at the sight.

This was truly an extraordinary power. It was unrestricted by the regular laws of the world, capable of achieving impossible with just a thought. It was akin to supernatural power.

Moreover, what was even more important was that this Seeds of Life ability reminded Yu Zi Yu of an immensely powerful Wood-Element ultimate move — The Advent of the Tree World. 

Just like the Seeds of Life, it could create an entire forest. However, compared to Yu Zi Yu, who only managed to spawn a dozen or so trees by triggering the Seeds of Life, the Advent of the Tree World could terraform transform tens of kilometers of an area into a forest. Each of those trees could become colossal pythons, strangling any enemies within the forest.

“If nothing unexpected happens, this ability of mine will likely become even more terrifying than the Advent of the Tree World in the future.”

Estimating his own Spiritual Energy, Yu Zi Yu conducted an assessment. Currently, it took almost 1,000 Spiritual Energy to spawn a tree.

Expending over fifty thousand units of Spiritual Energy resulted in the birth of over fifty trees.

Once Yu Zi Yu became more proficient, the Spiritual Energy consumption for generating a tree would likely significantly decrease. Furthermore, the Seeds of Life was currently incomplete, not even reaching Level 1.

Anyway, Yu Zi Yu was satisfied with it, and was not hoping for much. At present, all he needed to do was patiently hone this ability, and once he had perfected it, he could spawn countless trees with just a thought. And that was all he hoped for.

However, if he truly achieved this, Yu Zi Yu might well be deemed a ‘monster’ by the world.

After playing around with this ability for a while, Yu Zi Yu had gained a deeper understanding.

For about five minutes after Seeds of Life had given rise to the trees, Yu Zi Yu could exert a certain degree of control over them.

Just like now…

*Swoosh, Swoosh, Swoosh…* With just one thought, the trunks of the tree transformed into gigantic pythons, ruthlessly crushing everything.

And the strength of this crushing force depended on Yu Zi Yu’s output of Spiritual Energy.

Except, these trees were not that durable, and could not withstand overly potent Spiritual Energy.

According to Yu Zi Yu’s estimation, a tree could unleash a strength equivalent to a Intermediate Level Mutant Beast at most.

Of course, Yu Zi Yu believed that this would gradually change as the ability leveled up.

If all went as expected, this ability could become his most terrifying killing move.

Furthermore, there was one point worth mentioning. If Yu Zi Yu did not control them within these five minutes, once the Spiritual Energy dissipated, these trees would be no different from ordinary trees.

“Even if not used for attacking, it’s still good for raising a forest.” Smiling, Yu Zi Yu felt a little content. Gaining such an ability was a pleasant surprise. Yu Zi Yu did not ask for too much in this regard. 

As for why he could acquire it, Yu Zi Yu had some speculations. As fellow Mutant Plants, they should possess something like the essence of plants, something akin to quintessence.

It was precisely because of this ‘quintessence’ that they could continue to evolve. And just now, Yu Zi Yu had plundered a portion of this quintessence from the blood-red plant.

However, this placed another question before Yu Zi Yu.

[Does this a unique ability solely belonging to me, or could every Mutant Plant plunder the essence of other Mutant Plants?]

If it were a unique ability belonging solely to Yu Zi Yu, it should have been mentioned on the status screen. And as it had not been mentioned, it was more likely the second one.

However, if every plant had this ability, it meant that Mutant Plants could not coexist, and they would inevitably kill each other.

After giving it a second thought, Yu Zi Yu found it reasonable as well.

In the world of plants, the hierarchy was exceptionally clear-cut. The species of the plant, the height of the plant, everything was very specific. After all, it was a plant’s instinct to compete for sunlight.

And not just sunlight, even land and water, plants vie for them.

In other words, the struggle for survival among plants seems even more cruel than that between animals or even Humans.

Now, most of the Mutant Plants like Yu Zi Yu were recently born, their consciousness was in a hazy state. They were not like Yu Zi Yu; they had only given birth to instincts, which was already quite remarkable.

As for deep thinking, unfortunately, that was not something that could be achieved in a short time. As such, Mutant Plant primarily acted on instinct.

This also explained the fact why the blood-red plant would show hostility toward Yu Zi Yu the moment it sensed him. Fellow Mutant Plants could not coexist together. At least, they could not share the same territory.

Where Yu Zi Yu has taken root, the other Mutant Plants could hardly obtain ample nutrients and energy.

Having realized all this, Yu Zi Yu felt a bit dumbfounded.

He had finally encountered a Mutant Plant, yet things ended like this.

“Still, I like it.” With a grin, a playful expression appeared on Yu Zi Yu’s face.

If his speculations were right, Mutant Plants would become his new prey. They would be even more significant compared to the Spirit Stone Mines or Evolution Points.

A single blood-red plant could bestow him with an Innate Talent.

One could imagine what this signified, right?
