In early June of the Radiant Calendar year 9788, at the Potion Cultivation Center, Green temporarily abandoned the experiment to optimize the Mutated Green Vine Tree's root system after more than five months of work.
"Isla, how is the expanded planting of Mutated Green Vine Trees going?"
At Green's question, the blue-haired woman replied guiltily, "Teacher, the expanded planting... has essentially failed."
"Mutated Green Vine Trees don't require particularly demanding conditions as seedlings. Their growing environment is much the same as that of fifth-generation green vine trees."
"But once they enter the rapid growth stage, their demand for magical power increases more than a hundredfold. At first, we can supply magical power manually, but later on, even the combined magical power of five low-rank silver druids can't sustain a single Mutated Green Vine Tree."
"A high mana energy environment?"
The blue-haired woman nodded. "Teacher, a high mana energy environment can meet the growth requirements of Mutated Green Vine Trees, but as you know, Qixing Territory is a low mana energy region."
Green fell silent for a moment, then finally sighed. "Maintain our current results for now. I'll report this to our superiors and ask how we should proceed."
"Yes, Teacher."
After the blue-haired woman left, Green took out some documents and began writing an official report.

He devoted half of that time to Blue.
He spent the other half reflecting on the insights he had gained from the battle to slay a god.
As for his adopted son
