I'm not just human!

The Nature Bee fluttered its small, transparent wings, and its plump body took flight, landing back on Xia Fa's shoulder.

It perched on Xiafa's shoulder, nestled close to his ear, and whispered:

"Master, I don't know what this seed is, but it seems you can absorb it directly. Then, there's about a 30% chance you'll be able to comprehend the divine combat technique of the [Nature Monarch], [Tree Realm]."

Xia Fa's pupils contracted, and a sudden surge of joy welled up inside him:

"The Tree Realm?"

The bee nodded its little head vigorously:

"Yes! It's the [Tree Realm]!"

Xia Fa slowly exhaled, calming the excitement in his heart:

"Okay, thank you. You can go back to sleep now."

"Okay, goodnight, Master!"

The bee of nature obediently agreed, then buried its plump body and quickly burrowed into Xia Fa's shoulder.

Throughout the entire process, Xia Fa did not feel any discomfort, although he still felt a little strange.

After regaining his composure, he refocused his gaze on the mysterious, round, emerald-green seed, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.

To be honest, when he was training his body to break through his limits and comprehend divine battle techniques, he didn't really want the [Tree Realm] or the [Cessation of His True Body].

However, that's because he could vaguely sense that once he broke through to sixty pull-ups, he would truly obtain a divine battle technique.

With a total of thirteen divine battle techniques, including three each of [Absolute Defense] and [Paradox Clown], and one each of the other seven righteous gods, he naturally wanted to draw the one most suitable for him.

But now, with the opportunity to master a new divine battle technique given away for free right in front of him, things are completely different!

No matter what, this is a divine battle strategy!

The difference between the geniuses in the earthly kingdoms of the nine righteous gods who have mastered a divine battle technique and those who haven't is practically the difference between a genius and a slacker!

For example, Tefal, an angelic overlord in the same divine realm of the [Silver Universe], far surpasses Alexander and Avalon in status simply because he mastered the divine combat technique of [High-Dimensional Severing]. The same applies to Casimir.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing his excitement, Xia Fa knew that he needed to stay calm, especially in situations like this.

In particular, even after absorbing this mysterious seed, there is only a 30% chance of mastering the [Tree Realm].

If this fails, wouldn't that be equivalent to losing twelve million pounds?

No, it can't even be measured by price alone.

The treasure, with a 30% chance of mastering the divine battle technique [Tree Realm], would likely be snapped up and fetch an astronomical price if released to the outside world!

The price of a top-tier secret contract is generally between five million and ten million gold pounds because most people can only sign one. Of course, in many cases, even if you have the money, you can't buy it.

However, there is never too much of a divine battle strategy, whether it be angels, rulers, extraordinary monarchs... or even extraordinary great lords and mysterious emperors!

"A 30% chance..."

Xia Fa's eyes flashed, and without hesitation, he threw the mysterious seed, which looked like a round, emerald green bead, into his mouth.

Gum!

He didn't chew it; instead, he swallowed it directly.

The mysterious seed, shaped like a round, emerald green bead, had just slid into his esophagus when countless mystical living silvers immediately seeped out from the capillaries on the esophageal wall and quickly enveloped it.

Xia Fa's mind gradually calmed down, and he focused all his attention on activating the mystical living silver to digest and absorb the seed.

With a "pop," the seed fell into his stomach, immediately followed by highly corrosive stomach acid, which, together with the mystical living silver, accelerated the digestion and absorption of the seed.

Soon, Xia Fa felt the incredibly vigorous life force within the mysterious seed gradually break through the shell, overflowing and merging into his entire body.

The seeds, which were originally emerald green and round, have now begun to dissolve and have shrunk by a whole size.

The vitality contained within the seed was so abundant and so rich that, in a daze, Xia Fa felt as if he could smell the scent of forest and grass.

Furthermore, one could vaguely see endless mountain ranges and lush forests.

Suddenly, the moon and stars in the sky above the mountains began to move faster, rising from the west to high altitude in an instant, and then falling back to the east.

Then, a pale light appeared in the east, followed by a sudden burst of brightness as the golden, dazzling sun rose from the east.

The sun rose rapidly into the sky, then set in the west, and then the moon and stars reappeared.

And so, night and day alternated, the moon and sun set in turn, and the mountains became bright and dark.

It seems like only a moment has passed, and countless years have gone by, and the world has changed beyond recognition.

Xia Fa was quite surprised to see that the forest, which had almost covered the entire mountain range, was beginning to shrink, with countless trees dying and animal carcasses scattered all over the ground.

It seems to be due to the drought.

The drought continues; not a drop of rain has fallen for centuries. As time goes on, the mountains gradually turn into barren hills, and the forests vanish.

The barren mountain continued to lie fallow, and soon turned into a bare, rocky mountain.

Apart from the reddish-brown mountains, there was not a single flower, tree, bird, beast, fish, or insect to be found.

"This……"

Xia Fa was stunned. Although he knew that what he was witnessing was a hallucination caused by absorbing and digesting the mysterious seed, he was puzzled as to what this hallucination was trying to express.

Suddenly, the field of vision was elevated, transforming from a mere mountain range into an entire life-bearing planet, as if looking down from the cosmos.

Xia Fa could clearly see that on this unfamiliar life-bearing planet, drought had spread completely from the barren mountains as its center.

Grasslands turned into deserts, rivers into dry channels, cities into ruins... In the end, even the sea dried up, and countless fish, shrimp, crabs, shellfish, whales, and other large marine creatures were buried in the silt.

As the endless years passed once more in this illusion, the entire life-bearing planet... became completely desolate, devoid of any trace of life, and it was impossible for even a single living being to survive.

Xia Fa became increasingly surprised and suspicious as he looked, but just then, a sudden change occurred!

Beyond this life-bearing planet, in the far, far depths of the universe, there was a vast, indistinct, and ineffable being, seemingly casting a gaze upon this completely barren planet.

Even in his hallucinations, Xia Fa was completely unable to describe what that great being looked like, because its existence itself was beyond what could be clearly seen with the naked eye.

That seems to have transcended the perception of the five senses; perhaps only through a higher dimension can one glimpse even a fraction of its true form.

The only feeling Xia Fa had left was that this great being... was so powerful that it seemed capable of destroying the entire universe with a wave of its hand, and at the same time, making the entire universe full of life again with a casual gesture.

That is already far beyond the power of humans and demi-humans, and even far beyond the power of gods and outward gods.

That is both a god and above the gods.

That is a supreme being of the same rank and level, comparable only to the other eight in the entire world.

That is a true god.

That is……

"【Nature Monarch】..."

For some reason, this guess popped into Xia Fa's mind.

At that very moment, a "miracle" happened!

The once barren planet suddenly sprouted countless plants and trees from its surface, and rain began to fall from the sky.

The desert was transformed into an oasis in an instant, the barren mountains became forests in a flash, and the plains became full of life, with plump fruits and wild beasts everywhere.

The sea was filled again, and countless schools of fish swam on the azure surface. Occasionally, whales would leap out of the water, spouting water with faint rainbows in their wake.

This life-bearing planet, this life-bearing planet that had been completely barren due to drought... was completely restored to life and even achieved unprecedented prosperity just because of a single glance from the [Nature Monarch]!

Snapped! ! !

Suddenly, the illusion shattered like pieces of glass.

Only Xia Fa remained, sitting on the icy chair with the red and silver star shell, his face still showing shock.

"Is this the work of the true gods...?"

It's important to understand that while powerful entities like the "Storyteller" have the ability to wipe out a planet with a flick of their wrist, they could never bring a completely barren planet back to life with a single glance like the "Nature Monarch" does!

It seems that the power of the nine true gods is on a completely different level from that of any other being in this universe or this world!

As for the [Nature Monarch]... he seems to be the weakest among the nine righteous gods, on par with the [Supreme Law].

Xia Fa let out a soft breath, calming the shock in his heart.

If the [Nature Monarch] could still respond to the prayers of his followers in the third ten thousand years of the universe, which is now, then the Kingdom of Augu would probably never have experienced a famine, and the planet Dark, where the giants live, would not have lacked water.

Even in the sacred land of the desert during the Fog Carnival, people wouldn't risk their lives for those ten million acres of resource land.

At the same time, a question also popped into Xia Fa's mind.

That is, now that the illusion has been seen, how exactly should one comprehend the divine combat technique of the [Tree Realm]?

He briefly sensed his stomach and was even more alarmed.

This is because that mysterious, round, emerald-green seed... has actually been completely digested and absorbed by itself!

"Is it all absorbed already?"

Xia Fa was somewhat taken aback. Could it be that he had failed to comprehend it this time?

Although the probability was only 30% to begin with...

He was about to get up, but as soon as his hands touched the icy armrests of the chair, a strange scene unfolded.

Suddenly, countless plant roots sprouted from his palm. The off-white roots, with many tendrils, burrowed into the icy handrail.

Immediately afterwards, with a "snap," the root broke off on its own, and the ice-like chair armrests began to be absorbed by the root, seemingly being used as nutrients.

Then, tender shoots sprouted from these rhizomes, which quickly grew into sturdy shrubs with large, drooping leaves, and were about to bear fruit.

"This……"

Xia Fa stared at the scene in astonishment, then suddenly realized something.

Could it be that... while I was watching that illusion just now, I had unknowingly mastered the divine combat technique of [Tree Realm]?

Moreover, the process of mastering it was probably too fast and too smooth, and he was so immersed in the miracle created by the gaze of the righteous god [Nature Monarch] that he didn't notice anything at all.

After calming himself down a bit, Xia Fa was about to use the [Tree Realm] to get a few apples to eat.

But suddenly, a thought struck him, as if he had sensed something.

The bees of nature were also awakened from their deep slumber and immediately crawled out from Xiafa's shoulder.

"Master, I, I..."
