I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1329

Chapter 1329: Chapter 1331: Seed of Life Chapter 1329: Chapter 1331: Seed of Life “You thought by hiding in the woods, I wouldn't be able to find you?” murmured Song Jian as he slowly floated above the forest. At that moment, countless tree elves seemed to sense Song Jian's presence and immediately let out bursts of joyful cries, circling the ancient trees much faster than before.

Though tree elves possessed limited intelligence, it did not prevent them from acknowledging who the true master of this land was. Song Jian had saved them, improving their lives significantly. Even within their simple minds, they were deeply grateful to Song Jian.

Just then, Song Jian's right hand rose slightly, and soon a rumbling noise came from the depths of the ancient forest floor. A fist-sized brownish-black elliptical object began to float up from the soil.

Squeak, squeak, squeak~
A series of sharp shrieks followed, and a short green tail behind the object began to wag rapidly. Song Jian narrowed his eyes, realizing that the green tail was actually a green vine covered in purple patterns.

“Is this…” Song Jian's mind suddenly flashed with the status bar of the Abyssal Magic Vine from before, which included a “Seed Hosting” status that was hidden. Had it not been for his Breaking Illusion Divine Eye, he might not have even detected it.

“Could it be that the 'Seed Hosting' status of the Abyssal Magic Vine is meant to inhabit this 'seed' before me?” Song Jian guessed inwardly.

As he looked at the elliptical brownish-black object, it did somewhat resemble the seed of a plant. The green vine behind it was frantically burrowing inside, and it seemed that a large portion of its body had already penetrated the seed, leaving only a short segment outside.

“Heh, you think I'd let you succeed?” A sneer appeared on Song Jian's face, and with a grip of his right hand, a mysterious power tightly grasped the green vine, pulling it outwards forcefully, attempting to extract it from the seed.

Squeak, squeak, squeak!

The cries of the vine grew even more piercing, like a steel needle being thrust into Song Jian's ears, causing him to frown involuntarily.

“Shut up!” Song Jian shouted loudly.

The noise came to an abrupt end. In this realm, Song Jian was the sole deity, controlling everything in this space, including the air, soil, and all living things.

Song Jian had thought that extracting the last remnants of the Abyssal Magic Vine from this strange seed would be straightforward, but it turned out to be much more difficult than he had imagined.

It was as though a mysterious force was constantly resisting the mighty power he held in this space. Although the emerald vine was being pulled so taut it was nearly straight, and it was being slowly extracted, the pace was agonizingly slow. It was as if it had become the only object in this world that was beyond Song Jian's control.

Song Jian's brow furrowed. Just as he was about to exert greater force to pull it out, a tree elf that had been continuously circling a tree suddenly floated down, landing on the ground and transforming into a woman in white, who reached out to stop Song Jian, saying, “You can't just force it out like this; doing so could damage the Seed of Life!”

“Who are you?” Song Jian was taken aback, turning to look at the girl in white. He observed her for a moment, then turned his head to look at the other tree elves. His gaze shifting back and forth between them, his face was filled with a perplexed and puzzled expression.

Nova chuckled inwardly. She had been waiting for an opportunity, a chance to appear before Song Jian openly and legitimately. Now, at last, her moment had arrived.

This time, she was gambling, betting that Song Jian did not completely understand the tree spirit, this kind of creature, or rather, that Song Jian could not fully grasp all the attributes of such a being.

Seeing the puzzled look in Song Jian's eyes, Nova knew she had bet correctly!

“My lord, if you continue like this, the Seed of Life will be ruined!” Nova made a respectful gesture, bowed toward Song Jian, who was suspended mid-air, and spoke loudly with feigned apprehension.

“Are you… a tree spirit?” Song Jian squinted and scrutinized Nova closely, a sliver of his Breaking Illusion Divine Eye opening at the center of his brow.

Nova immediately felt a trace of divine might appear upon her, filling her heart with shock. She knew, with her insight, that although Song Jian was lucky to acquire a fragment of his own Divine Country and had gradually restored some functions of that realm, his own strength was not particularly strong.

But now, Nova sensed divine might emanating from him, sending her into a panic so intense that her body began to tremble slightly.

However, the divine might soon disappeared from her, and Song Jian had already closed his divine eye. It was known that he had just suffered damage to his eyes from overusing the Breaking Illusion Divine Eye, and they had not yet recovered, so he could not fully open the divine eye again in the short term as he had before.

Yet, having opened it briefly, Song Jian had already examined all the attributes of the white-robed girl before him. Indeed, she had evolved from a tree spirit, which made him completely lower his guard against her.

“What is your name?” Song Jian asked.

“Nova!” Nova relaxed, a faint, almost imperceptible smile appearing on her lips as she thought to herself, “It seems he was using divine might to verify my identity just now. Luckily, I truly possessed a tree spirit earlier; otherwise, I would have exposed myself just now!”

“Very well, Nova, congratulations on your promotion. Now, tell me, what is the Seed of Life, and why did you prevent my actions earlier?” Song Jian said gravely.

He had used the Breaking Illusion Divine Eye only to intimidate the green vine that kept burrowing inside, without really examining the specific attributes of the seed in detail.

Initially, he thought it was nothing significant, merely the Devil Vine's last resort to escape. Now, it seemed, there might be an unexpected windfall!

“My lord, this seed is a sacred object, the Seed of Life, also called the Seed of Primordial!” Nova glanced at the elliptical black-brown seed in the air with a touch of envy in her eyes; even as a deity, she greatly desired to possess such an item.

“My lord, it is said that our entire universe was born on a Primordial Tree in the beginning. This Tree of Life not only gave birth to our universe but also connects to other universes. The earliest deities were nurtured within its body…” Nova spoke softly, “And this seed is the fruit of the Tree of Life. After falling from the Tree of Life and absorbing all the nutrients of the fruit, it finally condensed into this one seed!”

“What, a seed from the Tree of Life? Are you saying if I cultivate it properly, I could nurture another Tree of Life?” Excitement shone in Song Jian's eyes. If such a setting existed in the game, then the Tree of Life must exist. If he really could cultivate his own Tree of Life, what would he eventually become? God of all gods?

For a moment, Song Jian's mind was flooded with thoughts, and he couldn't help but reveal a look of ecstatic joy on his face.
