MMORPG: Rise of The Dungeon Master.

Chapter 158 Sapling And World Tree Story





The moment Grave walked to the gate, bushes moved to the side, and a path leading to the center formed. He placed a hand on his chest, trying to calm his heart's loud beating heart.

He walked into the room where a green shine coming from. He found there were many new plants growing in the rooms. It was almost out of control at this point.

He moved to the core of the room and stared at what used to be a patch of grass now huge knee sizes grass. His eyes got fixed on the green sapling of the world tree. It was all green with no brown on it. Looking at the little tree was magical, a weak green stem with a single shiny leaf on it while a few others just formed on the end of the new branch.

The mana around the sapling got so thick that even without using the mana zone, he could see a layer of mana moving around it.

The thing that fascinated him most was the color of the mana around the sapling. It was green, unlike the normal blue mana. He stared at the little sapling for mins and then it clicked to him that the color of mana was green due to the life energy little sapling leaking.

A thought came to him that using this sapling would create one of the best potions in the world of Liberty Online. It was really magical to see this young world tree sapling. The thought regarding life and creation emerged in his mind. He even started questioning his own existence, but there was this bugging feeling came to him as he continued to stare at the sapling. The more he looked, the more he felt discomfort from the little tree.

It was like looking at the perfect picture, but then feeling something odd in that picture that just made you mad.

After some time, he realized what was odd in it. In the gene lab illusion, he saw the things beyond the mythic grade and his mind just compared the sapling to those entities with power beyond common sense.

Now looking at this sapling, he felt like he was looking at an imitation, an existence that just trying to mimic the power that it did not possess. It is only a beautiful but empty vessel.

As he compared the sapling with the snake which swallowed him, he instantly realized that the sapling in front of him had the same mystic appearance, but not that aura in it.

The sapling did not have any important power posed by the world tree, it only had a few weak resemblances to the real thing. Just staring at the sapling he had this tremendous urge to destroy the world tree and try to grow one that was blessed with all the power, controlling the urge, he sighed, it was not like the world tree was something that a weak-ass player could deal with.

"I did not want a world tree. This thing is still treasure," Grave mumbled to himself to calm down. He remembered his goal and blinked his eyes, returning to his usual self. 

He looked at Yunyun jumping on the sides. He wasted no time and moved closer to the sapling. Reaching next to it, he examine the leaf and found that the veins on the leave were white.

It looked weird to see the green leaf with white veins. It looked like the sapling still did not digest all the nutrients provided by divine cloud soil. The green stem of the sapling had 2 little branches attached to many small leaves that were about to sprout out. The single leaf was present at the edge of the longest branch.

Grave bent down, and using some tools, he dug out the pot with sapling out of the ground. He found hundreds of roots all around the white transparent soil. Most of the roots coiled around the 3 veins in the soil. There were no traces of fairy honey and holy water left behind.

This marked the end of the first stage of his experiment. There was a special thing about the world tree that he had from elves in his last life. It was a theory about why their only one world tree and what is so special about that entity.

In that text, there was a mention that there used to be a time when the world was ruled by flora, and in this world, the plants were competing with each other to become more powerful.

All the plants wanted to get more nutrients and become more powerful. This competition between flora was in many environments but the competition in the living plain was most intense. At that time, a sapling grew with a simple but favorable ability.

The ability to grow fast, in that era one thing that none flora lacked was nutrients from the soil, in that time make of the big trees gained reasoning and even many abilities, like the ability to attack, move, and many more to get more nutrients from fauns and other sources.

In that era that single sapling was nothing special and would most likely die, but it somehow survived and one day a single leaf grew out of it. That single leaf changed everything. It started absorbing nutrients with no control and in next day it had become a full-grown tree.

Compared to other enormous flora still no special, but it was just the start, the next day that it grew to double its size then again double the next and this continued for 10 to 20 days.

10 days in that era were nothing but for that sapling, it grew from a small sapling to a gigantic tree. Other entities noticed it but the amount of time it took them to reach the new tree in that time tree grew a few more times.

A struggle started between that tree and other flora started. All of them attacked it but it did nothing but grew bigger every moment. After a few years, it grew so big and started taking so many nutrients that other flora died in the living plain. After a decade or so, that tree stopped growing as no nutrients were left in the living plain.

The living plain became barren with only a single tree left alive in there and at that time the tree grew conscious, it spat 5 seeds out and started becoming ethereal. It gained the name World Tree, the day it became completely ethereal.

The 5 seed grew into a massive mystic forest that promoted the fauna evolution and this was how the World tree destroyed its own kind for the benefit of the fauna and this was the reason elves worshiped it. 

Now, this was interesting, but a completely bogus story. It may have few elements of truth to it, but he knew the rule that anything elves said about the world tree is never to be believed in, as most of the time, elves just add so much extra.

He remembered the elves that read this story to him had even cried at the part where he described how other flora come to attack the world tree but the world tree only embraced them and never counter.

Like for fck's sake, it was completely false as in his last life, another mystic tree came to light that was the Death Tree.

The world tree had many species that worshiped and do everything to protect it, but in the Death Tree case, it gave its power to some individuals rather than the whole species. And yeah, the follower of both trees were out there for each other blood.

In the last life, some explorers even found out about other peak flora entities like Void tree, Baby turtle, Pine titan, and many more, but none of them showed them to the world of liberty till that time.

All this myth and true false history make Liberty Online even more interesting to play.

Now although the story was not completely true, the thing was that the world tree did have the ability to grow fast and this was true.

In his life, the player that sprouted the world tree seed grew a massive city-size mystic forest in 1-2 months.

From that knowledge, he knew that the world tree did have that ability. Now the race against time would start but know that in his case speed would be slow as it all depended on the nutrients provided to the sapling. He did not have that much, but in his guess, in a day or two, the sapling would become a gigantic tree and then splits out to grow into the forest.

Wasting no time, he looked at Yunyun and said, "Yunyun transfer all the poison from the mega construction poison lake to the pit at the center of the experiment island."

Yunyun nodded her head, "Aye aye mater" and teleported out.

He stared at the pot and knew that in an hour or two the sapling would hit its growth phase and that would be making it hard for him to control it.

He wasted no further time and teleported to the island. 

Grave teleported above the island, looking down. Everything remained the same as he left them just there. The number of eggs increased.

With pot in his hand, he float down to the island and the moment he did that the time on the island started. The time flow of the island became the same as the game time flow.

He placed the pot on the side and looked at around 1000 s of snake eggs.
