Murphy held a seed in his hand.
Seeds like this were quite common in anything related to the faith of Avalon. The Witch Hunters trained by the Old Church used seeds as spellcasting materials, while the elven druids had found all sorts of ingenious uses for seeds of every color. Now, the three hundred seeds secretly delivered to Transia had also been cultivated and assembled, and were about to become the first peculiar creations in this world capable of soaring through the sky without wings or psionic power.
In short, if you dealt with Avalon, you had to get used to these strange seeds. That was its "gameplay feature."
But the seed in Murphy's hand was no ordinary seed.
Its unusual nature was clear from the faint starlight flickering around it. And the truth Avalon had just revealed lent this newly born seed an added touch of legend.
The God of Nature had spoken vaguely, but it wasn't hard to read between the lines: the seed in Murphy's hand was the final "gift" of the great tree Aphidashir, and it was undoubtedly bound to the future of the Shattered Astral Realm.
Murphy stared at the starry seed in his hand, then activated item appraisal. As the characters flickered, its entry appeared before the Vampire Governor:
``` Name: Dawn After Dreaming · Aphidashir's Shattered Remnant
Quality: Astral Realm Curio, Rule
Use:
Plant this seed at a psionic node in the Shattered Astral Realm. Water it with creation energy to make the Astral World Tree take root and sprout.
Because this item embodies the astral rules of space, once the Astral World Tree reaches a certain stage of growth and its roots extend into every region of the current Shattered Astral Realm, the fragmented planes will reunite, eventually becoming a complete plane
