Chapter 45: Just keep going, what else can he do
Subtitles appeared on theputer screen.
【The faith of the Skinning God haspletely disappeared nearby, and his apostles will begin to seek new gods.】
Lu Yao suddenly had a sense of foreboding.
In the depths underground, Isabe and her group did not encounter any more "Crazy Skinning Monsters". At the end was a spiral ascending passage.
Lu Yao took a look and found that the screen had returned to the map of the earth. This location was in a hidden area deep in the northern forest. However, the environment here was a bit special, with the surrounding trees and grass burned to ashes, and the ground covered in ck ashes.
In the center of this ck area stood a ck statue of the Skinning God, covered with densely packed red eyeballs.
Around the base of the Skinning God statue were piles of firewood, with fire burning on the wood as if it had never been extinguished for years.
Isabe stood beside the statue, and a dialogue box appeared above her head.
"Sir, these ignited woods are the remains of the tree people.""These mes continuously burn the souls of the tree people, preventing them from returning to the Sea of Departure."
The cave-dwelling wizard Sen Jian also said, "Apostle, this is the destination guided by the tree bark. Perhaps there are relics left by the Forest God here."
Due to the discontinuation of the tradition for many years and the almostplete loss of writing, the Sen n had limited knowledge of tree bark.
Isabe looked around.
"Sir, if we destroy this altar, we can let the souls of the tree people rest. Perhaps we can obtain more information from the deceased. Should we destroy it?"
Lu Yao agreed.
After receiving the order, Isabe summoned the Holy Sword.
She swung the Holy Sword and quickly shed it down, causing a faint red light to emit from the surface of the Skinning God statue. However, it quickly shattered into ck rubble.
The mes under the statue seemed to lose their power, and the mes quickly shrank and extinguished.
Isabe stood with her sword. Green lights appeared in the debris and ashes on the ground, condensing into a tall figure with a brown color.
【Tree Person】.
Lu Yao double-clicked on the tree person and obtained a more detailed data panel.
...
【Tree Person LV20】【Created by Isabe】
HP: 990/990
MP: 222/222

Speed: 7

【Leaf Shot Lv15】

【Recovery Lv15】
Continuously restores HP when it rains.
【Forest Element Lv1】
A forest elemental creature that promotes rapid forest growth and enhances all attributes in the forest. The effect depends on ability level and HP.
...
Lu Yao carefully examined the panel description.
The tree person was suitable for positional warfare, with bnced offense and defense and a thick skin. However, it was slow. Therefore, when using the tree person, it should be used as a meat shield or for direct confrontation. The forest was its advantage.
If the tree person’s HP continued to decrease, he could use 【Rainfall】 to restore its HP.
The only regret was that the 【Sword of the Forest】 only created one tree person, and the conversion rate was not particrly ideal. However, due to the existence of the 【Self-Propagation】 ability, theoretically, as long as there was enough time, this tree person could serve as the mother and continuously give birth to new tree people.
After creating the tree person, Isabe emitted a white light.
The ability 【Final Prayer】 was activated.
ck smoke emerged from the ground, and this time, the ck smoke slowly entwined and transformed into a twisting ck ball of the deceased.
Isabe had an encrypted conversation with the ck ball.
During the conversation, Isabe also tranted it to Lu Yao.
"...This was originally the altar of the Forest God and the initial core for spreading the faith of the Forest God in this fragmented world."
"When the Forest God fell, it was invaded by two foreign gods, the Whistleblower and the Skinning God."
"The invading army they sent burned downrge areas of the forest and destroyed the altar, wanting to find the main god space, the Golden in, at the center of the Forest God’s dimensional worlds."
"...The Skinning God stripped the bark from all the tree people, turning some of them into Crazy Skinning Monsters and using the others as fuel for this Skinning Altar."
"The Golden in is the treasure trove of the Forest God, and the tree people say they don’t know the exact location."
"That is a special world, and only through trials can one enter."
"The first trial known by the tree people is to restore the vitality of this ancientnd, turning the desert back into a forest and letting the mountains be covered in vegetation again."
"In addition, there is another requirement: the trial taker must not view the faith of the Forest God as an enemy faith."
Lu Yao pondered.
In simple terms, it meant nting various trees.
Wouldpleting the first trial be as easy as greening the area?
Lu Yao felt that this condition was somewhat unreliable, so he typed and asked Isabe.
"Sir, what you said ispletely correct. This is the trial that the inheritor of the Forest God needs toplete."
She exined, "The Forest God was once a highly respected main god, and the Golden in is a priceless treasure trove for any deity."
"If possible, sir, please don’t miss this opportunity."
Lu Yao thought for a while.
nting trees was not difficult for a divine yer. It only required activating the 【Rainfall】 miracle and then using 【Sunshine】 alternately. The other tree people could handle it.The whole process was like kneading dough.
Ayer of rain, ayer of sun, more rain when it’s sunny, and rain when the sun is too strong.
As a deity, Lu Yao’s main task was to gather enough faith to cast a wide range of "Miracles".
Moreover, to cover the entire southern desert and western mountains, the cost of faith was higher than he had anticipated.
The situation on the mountains was slightly better.
After 15 "Rains" and 11 "Scorching Suns", coupled with the "Forest Element" ability of the treants, green sprouts began to emerge from the bald mountains.
The desert, however, was a disaster area.
Lu Yao had to cast 40 "Rains" and 35 "Scorching Suns" to initially cover the desert, allowing green sprouts to grow in the sand.
These two rounds alone consumed a total of 1700 faith points.
The mountains were like icing on the cake, already having trees and grass. Although sparse, they had a foundation. So after the first round of rain and sun, the greenery there gradually thickened.
The situation in the desert was much moreplicated.
What Lu Yao didn’t expect was that the first to cause trouble were the sandworms.
Seemingly aware that these saplings posed some potential threat to them, the sandworms began to secretly damage and uproot the saplings, which infuriated Lu Yao and made him send Isabe to guard the area.
Whoever dares to destroy the greenery, must die!
After Isabe ughtered a dozen sandworms, they finally realized the importance of their lives. Most of them migrated to the sandy coast in the south, while a small part burrowed deeper underground.
In short, these desert natives had surrendered.
Before Lu Yao could breathe a sigh of relief, more trouble came from the desert. Many saplings couldn’t survive long enough to grow and wilted, requiring arge amount of water and sunlight.
He had no choice but to keep trying, and after consuming more than 1000 faith points to cast "Miracles", he finally stabilized the situation in the desert.
Staying upte is the epitaph of night owls.
At midnight, Lu Yaoy in bed, his eyelids fighting against sleep.
But he couldn’t sleep, his mind filled with the pixted saplings, his eyes involuntarily ncing at theputer screen on the table...
Just keep going, what else can he do.
