Deities: Rulers of Nature

Ji Xuan's actions of moving mountains and seas were so massive that all the beings in the divine realm were too frightened to move.

As the snake people and cherry blossom spirits witnessed the changes in the divine realm, they marveled at the greatness of the God of Nature, and their faith deepened.

While the creatures were still reeling from the shock, Ji Xuan's figure quietly appeared beneath the natural oak tree atop Xishan Mountain.

With a wave of his hand, the divine origin radiating seven-colored light emerged. He flipped his palm, and the ball of light sank into the ground, finally merging with the core of the Mountain and Sea Divine Realm.

The moment the origin merged, the entire divine realm seemed to tremble slightly.

It was as if a colossal creature that had been dormant had suddenly awakened. The entire divine realm began to pulsate with the fusion of the origins, breathing in and out, expanding and contracting, as if it had come to life.

The oceans, swamps, and mountains that were originally just pieced together have now been completely integrated into the divine realm, with no more barriers. This process would normally have taken a long time to gradually dissolve the origin of the demiplane.

The crystal walls expanded outwards, and the ocean began to extend as it surged. The seawater became even more profound, the earth trembled, and new land rose from the seabed. First, beaches appeared, and then soil was formed, on which grass and shrubs grew.

The sky has become higher, the ocean deeper, and the entire divine realm is expanding in both depth and breadth.

As Xishan Mountain began to rise, it grew from 1,400 meters to 3,900 meters, and the pilgrimage route extended accordingly, firmly connecting the mountain peak with the Xishan tribe.

The roots of the natural oak tree are connected to the core of the divine realm. After the fusion of the origins, the entire tree lit up with a seven-colored halo.

The thick roots spread deeper and wider, the trunk grew wildly, reaching 666 meters in a short time, mysterious patterns emerged from the air and merged into the trunk, the crown spread outward and cast a huge shadow.

A gentle breeze blows, and emerald green specks of light fall from the leaves, enveloping not only the entire Xishan Mountain but also nourishing the surrounding area.

【Natural Oak Tree】

[Rank: Gold]

[Spirituality: Plants (Upgrading)]

【information:……】

"It's finally starting to look like something." Seeing this, Ji Xuan couldn't help but sigh.

The divine tree in his dream was so magnificent that Ji Xuan could not forget it to this day, and he also hoped that he could grow to that height in the future.

On Xishan Mountain, some of the vegetation that was originally nourished by the natural oak trees had reached a critical point and is now beginning a new transformation.

On the eastern foothills of Xishan Mountain, a golden light began to emanate from a field of wheat. What was originally just an ordinary plant now appeared as if it were cast in gold, with plump grains, each one gleaming with golden light.

Golden Wheat

[Rank: Iron]

[Spirituality: Absorbing Rapid Growth]

[Appearance: The stalks and leaves of wheat are light golden in color, extremely resilient, and will not lodging. The grains are plump and round, gleaming with a golden sheen.]

[Growth Characteristics: Prefers sunlight. During the growing season, it needs to be watered with animal blood once a week. If sufficient nutrients are provided, it can maintain its fastest growth rate throughout the growing season and mature in one month. It is not limited by temperature and can be planted year-round.]

[Yield: Each plant can produce 120-150 grains of wheat.]

[Information: A Black Iron-tier spiritual plant, transformed by the nourishment of the natural oak tree and the essence of the divine realm, possesses the ability to absorb and rapidly grow spiritual energy. As long as there are sufficient nutrients, it can grow quickly...]

Following closely behind was a berry bush on the western slope of Xishan Mountain. The small berries, originally the size of a baby's finger, slowly swelled up to the size of an adult's thumb, and their color changed from light red to a translucent silver-red. The skin of the fruit shimmered with a faint halo, as if covered with a layer of frost.

【Red Water Chestnut Fruit】

[Rank: Iron]

[Spirituality: Purity and Impurity]

[Appearance: A low-growing shrub about waist-high, with dark green, heart-shaped leaves and silvery-red berries covered with a frost-like waxy layer. The outer skin has five raised rhomboid angles.]

[Growth characteristics: Prefers shady and humid environments; can grow year-round.]

[Yield: A single plant can produce a maximum of 3 fruits.]

[Information: ...Contains purifying and cleansing properties; consuming it can remove impurities from the body...]

Under Ji Xuan's watchful gaze, a group of sika deer that had migrating to the northern foothills of Xishan underwent a transformation under the dual nourishment of the divine realm's origin and the natural oak trees. Their overall color remained unchanged, but several orange stripes appeared on their cheeks.

The most obvious change is their antlers, which have now transformed into structures resembling tree branches, covered with lush leaves.

【Budding Deer】

[Rank: Iron]

[Spirituality: Purity of Mind]

[Appearance: The antlers of the Budding Deer change with the seasons: it blooms with flowers in spring, its leaves are lush in summer, the leaves turn red in autumn, and it falls off in winter, leaving only its branch-like antlers.]

Quantity: 34

Reproduction method: viviparous, one litter per year.

[Information: An extremely rare group of plants and animals living in perfect symbiosis, possessing a calming effect; any individual approaching the Budding Deer will have their restless emotions soothed. Spring flowers replenish qi and blood, summer leaves steeped in water bring tranquility, and autumn leaves strengthen the body…]

This truly surprised Ji Xuan. The Sprout Deer is a beast-plant species, and in some ways it could be considered the beast version of the Plant Spirit Clan.

Beast-planted species are different from wild beast-planted species; beast-planted species can actually be considered spirit beasts.

With a wave of his hand, Ji Xuan moved the Sprout Deer herd to the summit of Xishan Mountain.

The budding deer are not strong in combat and are docile. If left to roam freely in the divine realm, they may easily drive themselves to extinction. It's better to leave them under the natural oak tree.

Planting wild beasts like the Illusionary Luo Flower, plant spirit cherry blossoms, and beast-plant sprouting deer... all of this has propelled Ji Xuan's plant domain forward by a significant step, giving him even more confidence in his future efforts to assemble a plant deity.

The changes in the divine realm go far beyond this. The salt mines on Yunjin Mountain are also absorbing primordial energy and gradually transforming into spiritual mines. Living creatures living nearby are attracted to come and lick the salt, resulting in a rare harmonious coexistence between carnivores and herbivores.

【Spirit Salt Vein】

[Rank: Iron]

[Spiritual: Delicious]

[Appearance: The entire vein is a six-kilometer-long, snow-white mineral vein.]

[Information: ...containing spiritual salt with delicious flavor, it can greatly enhance the taste of food...]

Excellent. From now on, His people will no longer have to worry about salt. As long as they do not over-exploit the salt mines at once, the spiritual salt veins will automatically absorb divine energy to nurture them when the depth is below three kilometers.

A glacier in Beihai also underwent a change. It slowly glowed with a pale blue light, and its originally rough surface became smooth and transparent, like a giant blue crystal, with extremely cold icy marrow condensing deep within it.

However, because no living beings live on it, it is not as bustling as the spirit salt mine.

The entire glacier quietly completed its transformation, becoming another spiritual region in the Mountain and Sea Divine Realm.

【Xuan Glacier】

[Rank: Iron]

[Spirituality: Ice Marrow]

[Appearance: The overall structure resembles a massive glacier radiating a pale blue glow.]

[Information: Glaciers imbued with the spiritual essence of ice marrow will accumulate ice marrow over time...]

After the origin of the divine realm was completely absorbed, the transformation of the Mountain and Sea Divine Realm came to an end. Ji Xuan stood on the summit of Xishan Mountain, feeling satisfied and proud. This was his divine realm!
