I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 89 The Divine Tree!

"The seeds of the Divine Tree?"

Holding the floating seed in her hands, Tennyo Eri felt as if she were holding the whole world in her arms.

In fact, she was indeed holding a 'world' in her hands. This seed was the very same divine tree seed that Yu had been planning for so long, planting it openly and honestly. For this, she was willing to manipulate the entire world into a frenzy.

"yes,"

The white fox flicked its tail, based on the knowledge in its mind:
"This is a seed of the Divine Tree that only produces one fruit every thousand years in Takamagahara, and it's being wasted in the human world."

"If you're not going to plant it, just give it to me~~"

After saying that, the white fox looked eager.

They practically wore their reluctance on their faces.

"cough,"

"Lord Son of God."

Director Zhu Ya coughed as she knelt on the water-stained cobblestone path behind her.

"Don't hesitate, please make a decision as soon as possible."

Seeds of the Divine Tree?
One thousand-year knot in Takamagahara?
This sounds like a supreme treasure; we mustn't let this... cough cough, this 'White Treasure Master' ruin it.

This is a treasure bestowed by Lady Miketsu to protect humanity, so what are you waiting for?
If it weren't for the fear of 'White Venerable's' power, many high-ranking officials in the island nation would have loved to rush up, snatch the divine tree seed, and plant it in their own yards.

From then on, evil would be eradicated and no longer subject to supernatural threats.
The 'Hai Ming' who just left has terrified all the high-ranking officials in the island nation.

Even the American aircraft carrier fleet was trapped in port and attacked, and the base commander, a lieutenant general, even led his men to flee. Who would believe such a thing if it were told?

However, right before everyone's eyes, the Seventh Fleet had become a pile of scrap metal, the island nation's own Maritime Self-Defense Force headquarters had become ruins, and hundreds of various military vessels had gone to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish.

That's right, Yokosuka is also the headquarters of the island nation's Maritime Self-Defense Force.

It can be said that unless a major power launches a surprise attack without declaring war, such losses would be impossible.

However, all of this was accomplished by only one extraordinary being.

From this day forward, the name Haiming will become an object of discussion, research, pursuit, fear, and even worship for countless countries!
Especially in the island nations of Southeast Asia, it's obvious that they would immediately establish 'Hai Ming' as a deity to be worshipped.

With the power displayed by 'Sea Roar', wiping out their country wouldn't be a problem!
But even such a being was driven away by the messenger of Inari.

The seed of the sacred tree bestowed by the Inari god, which even the 'messenger' so desperately desires, must be no ordinary object. If this is delayed, what unforeseen events might occur?
"Lord Son of God,"

"Please make a decision soon!"

Other high-ranking officials from island nations, disregarding the risk of offending the envoy 'Hakuzosu,' straightened up and began to speak.

"Xiao Ying,"

But what truly made Tennyo Eirō make up her mind was the girl kneeling behind her.

Nagisa Ichiyo, her younger sister.

"Little White, how do I plant this seed?"

Upon hearing Ying's question, the white fox pouted in disappointment.

"Just imagine the place in your mind where you are going to plant the divine tree, and then throw it out."

Upon hearing 'Hakuzosu's' reply, Tenjo Eiryo turned her head and looked at the back of her shrine: vast stretches of forest, so why not just plant them here?

".you sure?"

The white fox gave Xiaoying a strange look, its fox mask askew on its head, and then revealed a human-like expression.

"Then let's leave it at that. I don't care where we plant it anyway."

He said something extremely irresponsible.
The white fox raised its chin.

"Come, imagine the place where you're going to plant the sacred tree."

As Tiannv Ying closed her eyes, the seed in her hand floated away.

Under the watchful eyes of high-ranking officials of the island nation and numerous extraordinary beings outside the torii gate, it flew to the back of the main hall, and then:
The seed fell into the soil.

A few minutes later,

"Does it mean we have to wait a few days for it to take root and sprout?"

Outside the torii gate, behind Fuji Seiko, young policewoman Kawai Mai muttered softly.

If it were a normal tree, that would indeed be the case, but the white fox at the shrine didn't deliberately conceal anything; since it's a seed from a sacred tree, it should possess some divine abilities—

Rumble rumble rumble rumble!!!

The next second, the hill beneath their feet began to shake violently.

A huge crack suddenly appeared out of nowhere, spreading in all directions along the mountain. Wherever it passed, trees collapsed and mountains crumbled, and sand and stones flew everywhere.

???

"Grab me, Mai!"

With her arm around the young policewoman beside her, Fujiko took a step forward, and the two of them leaped into the air.

At the same time, other extraordinary beings also leaped into the air. With their strength, they could easily jump four or five meters at a time: such a long time in the air was enough for them to observe the situation.

The ground beneath our feet—no, the entire mountain—was shaking violently, churning and surging like waves.

Cracks continued to spread down the mountain peaks and into the surrounding buildings!
The buildings beneath the shrine collapsed with a deafening roar, spreading outwards in patches, hundreds of meters, thousands of meters! At the same time, numerous giant ravines appeared in the ruins; then, one after another, 'mountains' slowly rose, forming a 'hill' around the small hill where everyone was.

Upon closer inspection: these are not 'mountains' at all, but rather tendrils of roots!
What they saw as 'ditches everywhere' were actually just the texture of tree roots.

"Hey, hey, hey, is this real?!"

Iori Kazuka, who was in mid-air, turned her head and looked in the direction of the shrine.

boom---------

The entire world went dark.
Giant, towering vines rose up from the ground with a thunderous roar.

Each of these vines is tens of meters thick, constantly emerging from the ground, their length seemingly endless!

At the same time, the 'ground' beneath their feet also rose up because of these vines, carrying them upwards like riding an elevator.

As it grows, the vines intertwine and in the blink of an eye, it transforms into a towering, divine tree; causing everyone to instinctively look up, yet they cannot see the end of the divine tree at all.

But it wasn't over yet: After stretching for over a thousand meters, the branches of this sacred tree, or rather, this straight mountain range, began to spread outwards, covering nearly half the sky before stopping. Then, new buds sprouted from the branches, unfurling into leaves the size of basketball courts, swaying gently. As the towering tree rustled softly, the clouds, thickened by the typhoon, dispersed outwards, clearing the sky.

A huge ray of sunlight shone down from the clouds, gilding the newly born sacred tree with a dazzling golden hue!

The original Inari Shrine has risen hundreds of meters up with the sacred tree, now located on the "halfway up the mountain" of the sacred tree.

???

"This...this too?"

Looking down at the 'roots' spreading everywhere,
And Sugamo Town, which has changed drastically in an instant. No, from now on, the area of ​​'Sugamo Town' no longer exists.

"Eiko, Taro!"

While Tiannv Ying was still in a daze, a cabinet minister got up and cried out in a pitiful voice.

He looked down and saw only a huge expanse of roots; the 'home' he had bought had vanished.

? !
Not only him, but other high-ranking officials from the island nation also had their expressions change drastically.

Because the Inari deity bestowed power upon Ama-no-Sei, many of them secretly acquired land around the shrine, settling their relatives and friends there for protection. However, the commotion caused by planting the sacred tree has reduced the entire area to ruins.
"What's the panic?"

The white fox didn't bother to speak.
This left these island nation officials angry but unable to speak out.

But his next words instantly dispelled the anger of these high-ranking officials.

"Look carefully,"

“My master is a benevolent and bountiful deity, not an evil spirit residing in Hirasaka.”

?

As the people standing in the shrine looked up, they noticed the giant roots below, and from the ruins, countless even smaller roots were extending out.

These roots coiled around people who were still in shock, men and women, young and old, lifting them into the air and shielding them from the commotion caused by the planting of the 'divine tree,' which was comparable to an 8-magnitude earthquake.

"Oh, this, this."

The cabinet minister who had just uttered those mournful words was stunned. Tears still clung to his face, but he had already seen his wife and grandson among the roots at the foot of the mountain.

"I'm very sorry, Your Excellency."

Turn around, kneel down, and apologize.

All in one go!
"I actually harbored resentment towards Inari God just now; I deserve to die!"

"To cleanse my sins, I am willing to fund the construction of a path for people to worship at the shrine. I humbly request Your Excellency to grant my request!"

After saying that, he slammed his head heavily onto the stones on the ground with a thud; bright red blood immediately spread from his deeply buried forehead, showing that he had used a lot of force.

? ?
That cunning and treacherous fellow!
Other cabinet ministers also realized what was happening and began to speak up:
“My lord, now that the sacred tree has been erected on earth, people will surely come from all directions to worship it; I am also willing to contribute funds.”

"Sir, it's me too."

Faced with these chattering officials, the white fox 'White Master' impatiently flicked its tail.

"This is your human business, don't bother me."

After saying that, he leaped into the air and flew towards the higher treetops.

"I'll leave this to you, Ying."

"Hey?!"

Before she could even process this dramatic change in tree planting, Tiannv Ying saw high-ranking officials from the island nation all fawning over her.

"Divine Child, what do you think?"

"My Lord, please allow us to share your burdens!"

"Our family is also willing."

If in the past, in the eyes of high-ranking officials, "Tiannv Ying" was merely a precious and extraordinary being who could "cure all diseases";

So when the messenger of Inari God dismissed Uminari and bestowed upon her this towering 'Divine Tree', coupled with her past status as Inari God's maid, she undoubtedly became an object of their respect and flattery!

Alas, it's a pity that in the future, if we want to ask the 'divine child' for treatment, I'm afraid it will be too late.

"Oh my God,"

"What is that?!"

"Brother, look—"

What does a height of over a thousand meters mean?
The Tokyo Skytree, a landmark of Tokyo, is the second tallest man-made structure in the world, standing at 634 meters. On a clear day, it can be seen from more than ten kilometers away.

The world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, is only 828 meters tall, and it has a slender, tapering shape as it rises.

The trees, thousands of meters tall with canopies spreading for thousands of meters, almost instantly attracted the attention of countless Tokyoites.

Especially when the clouds part and the sunlight shines down, it adds a touch of holiness and majesty!

Countless people came out of their homes, looked up, and clasped their hands together in prayer.

"Wow, what a huge tree!" (Read in a monotone tone)

Yu looked up into the distance and, even though he was in Adachi Ward, he could see the giant tree on the horizon, which made him twist his neck.

finally--

After working so hard for so long, I've finally gotten rid of the initial predicament!

After the divine tree was planted, its roots continued to travel and penetrate the earth—until they spread to the entire planet.

This process may take several years, a dozen years, or even decades.

It doesn't matter, I can wait!

As the Divine Tree was planted, a surge of chakra flowed to him out of thin air. Although this chakra was only one-tenth of the planet's energy initially absorbed by the Divine Tree (since most of the chakra was needed to produce 'Chakra Fruits'), it was enough. With Jonin-level chakra, Yu was confident that he could achieve the same power as before without relying on other extraordinary beings.

Although it utilized a natural typhoon, being able to do so is a testament to Yu's skill!
"Should we go check on them, Qiong?"
