Chapter 843 - 429: Master of Nature

Death?

Not necessarily.

The Druids firmly believe that when the world needs it again, the Master of Nature will awaken from slumber and once again save the world.

Or perhaps through sacrificial salvation, a path to a higher realm was found?

There has always been a question among the Gods — is High Tier Divine Power truly the limit of the Divine?

Beyond the Divine, does something truly exist?

The Gods do not have an answer to this, but they have never stopped exploring.

And the Master of Nature is probably one of the pioneers at the forefront.

For such a being, "death" might truly just be a special state of existence.

To this day, countless followers of nature still try to communicate with the Master of Nature. The Druids dance around the Holy Tree on full moon nights, while the Elf priests softly pray within tree hollows, attempting to awaken the remnants of His will and fully revive Him.

Most of these followers are Druids who frequent the most damaged areas of nature, repairing it through tree planting, shepherding, and raising livestock.

They believe that once nature is restored to balance, the Master of Nature will return.

At the same time, they enthusiastically teach a lesson to anyone who dares to disrespect nature, to show them what "Nature’s Wrath" means!

The bruised and battered loggers can testify—provoking a Druid is more terrifying than provokng a bear.

At least, a real bear only thinks of eating them.

But the bears that those Druids transform into... well, some might also want to eat them, but in another sense of being "eaten".

The spectacle, ugh—

It was simply too violent!

Rustle, rustle...

The gentle sound of rustling leaves interrupted the Cold Winter Goddess’s recollection, as a tall figure approached from behind the crowd.

"Sisters, you’re here."

It was a tall Tree Spirit, whose entire being appeared emerald green and was also a Goddess belonging to the Natural Pantheon.

Like other water spirits, flower spirits, and similar creatures, a Tree Spirit is a creature of enchanting beauty, beguiling outsiders with its allure.

However, the first impression of this Tree Spirit Goddess was not one of allure, but of gentleness, akin to facing an ancient and serene tree.

[Forest Goddess · Fulingya], also known as [Master of Tree Spirits], [Lady of the Woods], [Maiden of the Forest].

The Four Seasons Goddesses nodded slightly at Her, and even the Ice and Snow Goddess in the arms of the Cold Winter Goddess respectfully lowered Her head to express her respect.

This was indeed a rather unusual scene.

Fulingya, being a newly ascended Divine Spirit with dominion over [forest] and [tree spirits], was only a little over a thousand years old, not particularly powerful, and relatively young among the Divine Spirits.

Yet Her status within the Natural Pantheon was exceptionally high.

Because Fulingya was not a common Tree Spirit deified, but a half-god half-Tree Spirit of the Master of Nature, born after His slumber.

Hence, she was regarded as the daughter and new hope of the Master of Nature, and currently the nominal leader of the Natural Pantheon, a sort of Deputy Pantheon Lord.

After the symbolic greeting, the Goddess of New Buds was the first to speak, curiously asking, "Fulingya, is there something you wish to discuss with us this time?"

Having a good relationship with Fulingya, she knew that Fulingya wasn’t one to indulge in grandiose displays, hence her curiosity about the reason for summoning them as the "Deputy Pantheon Lord" this time.

"Hehe, please don’t worry, it’s just a small matter I’d like to trouble everyone with."

The Forest Goddess smiled, waving her hand to create a set of furniture built with branches, gesturing for everyone to relax. Once they were all seated, she explained, "I just vaguely sensed Father’s will."

The expression of the Goddess of the Four Seasons changed, and she looked up sharply.

Hmm!?

The will of the Master of Nature!

"Fulingya!"

The Goddess of Cool Summer was the first to react, urgently asking, "What did He communicate to you?"

Although everyone believed in their hearts that the Master of Nature was alright, without a Main God to support the Pantheon, it was always a bit unstable.

And now, is He finally returning?

In the end, Fulingya shook her head, saying helplessly, "Don’t get too excited. It’s just a very faint, very weak will, and I can’t analyze it thoroughly. But... it likely concerns him."

The Forest Goddess gestured, and on the table before them appeared a valiant phantom with blood wings on its back.

To this figure, every Goddess present was not unfamiliar.

"...Herbert?"

"Yes."

Fulingya nodded, saying somewhat confusedly, "I don’t know the reason, but when the Sun God descended into his body, Father’s essence reacted."

"Father seems to care about that child, likely having sensed his special constitution."

"I thought, perhaps he could serve as a vessel for Father’s descent... hmm?"

Fulingya was explaining when suddenly she caught the others’ gazes and looked along with them at the dazed little kitty.

Ice and Snow Goddess: Eh?

Is it me again?

"It seems we won’t need to make additional efforts; you’ve already established contact with him."

Fulingya chuckled, smiling as she asked the perplexed Ice and Snow Goddess, "I want to know, can this newly appointed Sun Saint become our friend?"

...

...

Elda.

"..."

Sofia frowned tightly, speaking with a tone of little confidence, "Wait, did you say... when setting up the alert line, you saw an unusually large tree in the depths of the fog?"

"Yes."

The Mushroom Merchant, Miser, nodded, continuing to boredly sprinkle mycelium on the ground to repair the parts trampled by this guy.

Coming and stepping on my ground, you really are over the line.

"Hey! Look at where you stepped, such a solid step! A little more effort, and this entire patch of tilled land could serve as a racetrack!"

But Sofia didn’t catch the sarcasm in Miser’s words, sternly questioning, "Then, according to what you said, that tree... seems to be slowly moving towards us?"

The trees are moving?

"Yes! Isn’t it nothing? Just like that lake that can run on its own?"

Miser tilted their head, unable to hold back a sigh, "You have to admit, this place, really has all kinds of strange things!"

Sofia: ?

Wait, this isn’t correct!
