Boys and girls place their hopes in the seed deity in the palm of their hands.
But Mu En remained silent.
This is exactly what he feared.
If I were in the Valley of the Wind world, with ample energy, I could indeed easily heal these injured people.
But right now, where does he find the energy to undertake large-scale treatment?
This is why he only bestowed a battle Incantations earlier, rather than personally suppressing the army.
Even if the " Erdtree's Favor " were granted to Pazu and his two companions, given their relatively recent status as Blessed and their limited physical strength and ability to use it, it would be impossible for them to heal all of the dozens of seriously injured people.
He didn't know how to explain to these two children, whose eyes burned with hope, that even gods have their limits.
Seeing that the Golden Seed did not react, Sheeta grew increasingly anxious, wondering if she had not been sincere enough.
She held the seeds to her chest with both hands, closed her eyes, and pleaded, "Great Erdtree, please save the town of Pazu! I'm willing to pay any price—"
The girl's tears slid down her cheeks, dripping onto the surface of the golden branches and creating delicate ripples.
Mu En sensed that sincerity and sighed silently.
That's enough.
We'll save as many as we can.
Even just alleviating pain or delaying death is better than doing nothing.
Just as he was about to bestow the healing Incantations upon Pazu and Sheeta, instructing them to first aid those most severely injured—
A strange thought suddenly touched Mu En.
The voice was very indistinct, barely forming a complete sentence or thought.
But Mu En still understood what "it" was trying to express.
[Help her]
The sound seemed to originate from the blue gemstone pressed tightly against Sheeta's chest, where the Golden Seed was located.
" Volucite?"
Mu En was initially surprised, but then she understood.
Yes, this gem clearly possesses a certain degree of intelligence.
Whether it's automatically protecting its owner, calling upon machine guards, or unleashing power in response to specific "incantations," all of these are evidence of the existence of artificial intelligence.
"It's not that I'm unwilling, but I don't have enough energy to heal these people." Mu En transmitted his thoughts back.
Volucite replied quickly, this time with urgency.
[I have]
Mu En was taken aback.
yes!
Besides serving as a "key" and proof of royal blood, the Volucite is itself a super energy source!
Laputa has been able to float in the clouds for seven hundred years, all thanks to that enormous crystal of the Volucite.
It can not only support the anti-gravity flight of the entire city, but also manipulate the surrounding weather to form protection, and even launch nuclear-level energy weapons like " Heavenly Fire " at will.
The energy contained within is probably Astronomy.
Although the one in front of us is less than one percent the size of Laputa's core, it should not be underestimated.
The question is, can he absorb this kind of energy?
After a brief moment of thought, Mu En decided to give it a try.
"Okay, I agree, but in exchange for all your energy."
After Mu En finished speaking, the spirit of the Volucite expressed joy.
Buzz!
The blue gemstone burst forth with dazzling light, and the blue light transformed into countless beams that flowed towards and converged upon the Golden Seed.
The next moment, a vast amount of pure energy, so immense that even Mu En felt a tremor in his heart, began to surge into the seed, seemingly endless for him to absorb, and his energy reserves were almost instantly replenished.
The energy of the Volucite can actually be transformed into Golden Rune!
But now is not the time to be shocked; the energy has exceeded the seed's capacity, and tiny cracks have begun to spread across the outer shell.
If she doesn't take root and settle down soon, Mu En is afraid that this energy will cause her to explode.
"Go to the edge of town and find an open space away from the houses!"
The two children didn't know what was happening; they only saw the Levitation Stone Necklace suddenly burst into light and then rush into the golden "stone".
Gold and blue intertwine, outlining dazzling bands of light in the air.
Upon hearing Mu En's command, Sheeta and Pazu exchanged a glance and immediately turned and ran towards the nearest open space in the south of the town.
"Make way! Everyone make way!"
Seeing that there were still townspeople blocking the way ahead, Pazu had a sudden inspiration and started running and shouting.
"We have a way to treat the seriously injured, get out of the way!"
The townspeople stopped what they were doing and looked at the two children running in the street. They also saw the blue and gold light streams in Sheeta's hands swirling and dancing like living things.
The townspeople were completely bewildered. What was happening? What was that thing?
But hearing the urgency in Pazu's voice, people parted to the sides, clearing a path through the crowded street.
For the two Blessed, a distance of 100 meters is but a matter of seconds.
But in those few short seconds, the changes in the Golden Seed became unstoppable.
Sheeta felt the weight increasing in her hands, and by the time she reached the edge of town, she could barely hold onto the seed.
She gritted her teeth and, with her last bit of strength, threw the Golden Seed forward, the blue energy stream emanating from the Volucite following closely behind.
The seed has finally fallen to the ground.
Therefore, Mu En stopped suppressing herself and completely let go of all constraints.
"Come on, let me see what kind of person you can become!"
boom!!!
The next moment, countless roots and branches burst forth!
Taking the point where it fell to the ground as the origin, the milky white roots twisted and pierced the ground, tearing through the soil and drilling through the rock layers.
The roots grew longer and thicker, like a giant dragon dancing, extending deeper into the earth amidst a roar.
Above ground, the scene was even more astonishing.
Golden twigs rise from the top of the seed, then swell dramatically.
That transcends the concept of "growth"; it's more like a giant golden fountain surging towards the sky!
Pazu and Sheeta had no time to dodge and were lifted into the air by the branches that burst from the ground.
"Hold on tight!" Pazu grabbed Sheeta's hand, and the two hugged the tree trunk beneath them tightly.
Thirty meters, fifty meters, eighty meters, one hundred meters----
The giant tree quickly grew to over a hundred meters tall, and showed no signs of stopping.
On the street, all the townspeople looked up at the giant golden tree soaring into the sky.
Some people dropped their buckets with a clatter, some collapsed to the ground due to their knees buckling, and others instinctively made a prayer gesture in front of their chests.
Dola's Gang stopped secretly stuffing gold coins into their pockets and looked up at the sky.
Now they understood why the god called himself the " Erdtree ".
Because it truly is a Divine Tree!
Growth continues, but at a slower pace.
A giant golden tree, over 300 meters tall, stands in the southern part of Valley Town.
The trunk, with a diameter exceeding fifty meters, requires nearly a hundred people to encircle it; the height of the crown is almost comparable to the Eiffel Tower of the previous era.
Tree roots, over ten meters in diameter, extend down the cliff face to the bottom of the canyon, winding their way through the ruins of factories like giant golden dragons.
Beneath the ground, roots extend deep into the earth along abandoned mine shafts, covering an area with a radius of over ten kilometers.
Countless golden leaves shimmered in the afternoon sun, their golden light bathing every inch of the Valley Town.
The Erdtree has now truly descended upon this world!
