When the scene before him paused, a blinding whiteness filled Noah Ji’s vision.
Before he could make out the details, the world shifted once more.
As his sight returned, Noah Ji could finally see his surroundings clearly.
Crowded, cramped, extremely crowded!
That was Noah Ji’s first impression.
At this moment, he was still a Sapling, but compared to the single deduction before, he had grown a bit larger. However, it wasn’t like the last time when the fivefold deduction had completely integrated his external size into the deduced world.
It seemed that the more deductions there were, the stronger he became, as if each additional deduction allowed him to carry one of his abilities.
Thinking of his abilities, Noah Ji quickly checked himself.
According to the deduction rules, with a twofold deduction, he could carry one ability into the deduced world.
Shortly, Noah Ji’s eyes lit up; he felt it.This time, the ability he brought was Root Strengthening.
This was probably the best outcome.
Currently, he had three abilities: Root Strengthening, High-Temperature Resistance, and Tenacity.
Among them, Root Strengthening and Tenacity were quite versatile, usable in any situation, whereas High-Temperature Resistance was only useful in specific circumstances.
However, Noah Ji felt that Root Strengthening was slightly better than Tenacity.
Without giving Noah Ji much time to think, a line of text quickly appeared before his eyes.
[You were born in a snowy land! To become a Tower to the Sky as soon as possible, you start to grow diligently!]
Seeing the text, Noah Ji was momentarily stunned.
Snowy land? It seemed correct; after the random scene appeared, he indeed saw a vast expanse of white.
But when Noah Ji looked around, a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes.
Where was the snow?
Why did he only see yellowish soil?
Forget it, Noah Ji didn’t dwell on it.
After the text disappeared, Noah Ji began to use the Root Strengthening skill diligently.
Although he couldn’t use Vitality to strengthen himself in the deduced world, he could make his roots stronger and choose the direction of his growth.
Soon, Noah Ji found suitable soil for his survival through his roots. Although the soil here was quite hard, it couldn’t stop Noah Ji’s determination to grow.
As time accelerated, Noah Ji’s form became increasingly robust. From a mere Sapling, he gradually grew taller. However, due to the complex terrain above, Noah Ji faced several twists and turns before finally growing out.
When Noah Ji’s trunk reached the thickness of a thumb, the surrounding crowding disappeared.
Noah Ji looked around and saw that everything was covered in thick snow. The world was a vast expanse of white, with only a touch of green on his branches standing out.
At this moment, Noah Ji understood that the map wasn’t wrong; he had grown in a crack in the soil beneath the snow, unable to see the surface scenery initially.
But as his branches grew taller, he quickly realized something was amiss.
While beneath the snow, he could resist the cold, but as his branches grew higher, he had to face the assault of cold winds and frigid air.
Without Low-Temperature Resistance, it would be hard to endure.
Just as this thought crossed Noah Ji’s mind, new text appeared before his eyes.
[The cold wind howls in the snowy land, and the weather grows increasingly frigid. To resist the cold, you choose?]
[Inject more nutrients into the bark] [Inject more nutrients into the leaves] [Inject more nutrients into the roots]
Once again, there were three choices. But looking at these options, Noah Ji hesitated.
Different choices meant different outcomes, some good, some bad.
Noah Ji didn’t know which choice was better, but he could think based on his previous deduction experience.
If he injected nutrients into the bark, it would likely make his bark more resistant to the cold.
After the deduction ended, he would probably gain some related ability in the bark.
However, since he was currently growing in the Ancestral Hall, and the Clan’s secret passage was sealed, there wasn’t much danger for now, so Noah Ji ruled out this option.
As for the second choice, injecting nutrients into the leaves.
Hmm.
Noah Ji thought for a moment and ruled it out as well.
Who resists the cold through leaves? He worried that he wouldn’t make it through if he chose that.
Of course, based on previous experience, choosing this might not necessarily cause problems, but Noah Ji didn’t want to take the risk.
After ruling out two options, Noah Ji could only choose the third one.
Inject more nutrients into the roots.
Logically, injecting nutrients into the bark should be the best choice, as the bark is crucial for a tree’s warmth.
But Noah Ji didn’t care about logic, and neither did this world.
Besides the bark, roots were also quite important. More importantly, Noah Ji’s current ability was Root Strengthening.
This was why Noah Ji chose the third option.
After deciding, Noah Ji decisively selected the last option.
After the text disappeared, Noah Ji could sense his body’s condition.
Originally, the nutrients absorbed by the roots should have gone to the trunk and branches, making him stronger. But now, these nutrients stayed in the roots, not moving forward.
As the nutrients increased, the roots began to expand rapidly.
During the expansion, Noah Ji slowly felt a warmth from his roots.
But the good times didn’t last long. As most of the nutrients were absorbed by the roots underground, Noah Ji’s bark stopped growing, and its color began to change.
The already sparse green leaves gradually turned yellow and then fell into the snow, buried by the accumulation.
From a distance, Noah Ji no longer looked like a tree but more like a withered branch stuck in the ground.
Seeing that no new text appeared after his choice, Noah Ji knew that his choice might not be correct, but as long as he wasn’t dead, it wasn’t wrong either. It was just a different growth direction.
Slowly, Noah Ji’s roots grew warmer, seemingly undergoing a mutation with the increased nutrients.
Even the snow on the roots began to melt.
As seasons passed, time flowed by.
Whenever Noah Ji’s roots expanded further, the snow above would melt accordingly.
Gradually, with Noah Ji at the center, a radius of several miles returned to its original state. A patch of green slowly emerged from the cold snow.
As the range expanded and the temperature dropped, Noah Ji’s halted trunk growth revived, and new green leaves slowly sprouted.
Seeing this, Noah Ji finally felt completely at ease.
This time, it was sheer luck. Fortunately, he had brought the Root Strengthening ability; otherwise, he might not have survived until now.
Slowly, Noah Ji’s trunk grew thicker, his branches more lush, and his roots spread wider underground.
A new oasis gradually emerged from the desolate snowy land due to Noah Ji’s transformation.
