Reincarnated as a Divine Tree

Chapter 116: Wild world

“Noah, what should our clan do now?”

In the dream, after recounting the events of the day, Ethan Chen looked defeated.

He had thought that once the clan established a foothold in the Disordered Burial Mountain, they could slowly develop and expand when the time was right.

But Gabriel Zhou’s arrival today had disrupted his original plans, leaving him, the Clan Chief, momentarily without confidence.

Seeing Ethan’s bewilderment, Benjamin Chen smiled nonchalantly and comforted him:

“Your father understands your feelings. When I became the Clan Chief, the clan was already in decline, beyond recovery. I made the controversial decision to move away from our ancestral grounds.”

“Though the journey was fraught with difficulties, haven’t we made it through? At least the clan still exists, and the people’s hope remains.”

Ethan paused for a moment after hearing this:

“But…”

Benjamin shook his head:

“Fortune and misfortune are intertwined. This person’s arrival may not necessarily be a bad thing for our Chen Clan.”

“For the clan to develop, it must leave the Disordered Burial Mountain sooner or later. Even if we had a few more Innate Realm warriors, what difference would it make? It would just attract another Zhou Family.”

“Currently, the clan lacks both heritage and resources. Advancing beyond the Innate Realm is extremely difficult.”

“So, why not take the chance?”

“Besides, doesn’t the clan still have the Sacred Tree? With its power, how could it be considered a low-level totem as that person claimed? At least, I’ve never seen it that way…”

As Benjamin’s figure slowly faded, Ethan in the dream also fell into deep thought.

Indeed, the clan would have to face these challenges sooner or later.

Perhaps he had placed too much importance on the Blood Rice resources.

Although Blood Rice could ensure a continuous supply of clan warriors, the core strength of the clan still depended on high-realm warriors.

Oliver Chen had already reached the Innate Realm, but it seemed the clan had no other resources to help him.

Whether it was Blood Rice or Five Leaf Flower, they were at most effective for Blood Condensation Realm warriors.

Even if they lost fifty percent, the remaining fifty percent of Blood Rice would still be enough for the clan’s daily needs. Moreover, these fertile fields were obtained after defeating the Liu and Li Families, so the loss wasn’t too significant.

The Sacred Tree of the clan still stood, and as the people’s realms gradually improved, these were more substantial than fifty percent of the Blood Rice.

Exchanging fifty percent of the Blood Rice for the Zhou Family’s protection, even if it was just verbal protection, didn’t seem entirely unacceptable.

Additionally, the clan could use the Zhou Family to open a path from the Disordered Burial Mountain to the outside world, connecting with other clans and the outside world.

Sticking to the old ways and being isolated would only trap the clan in a prison with no future.

He often advised the clan members to have a broader vision.

But looking back, it turned out he was the one standing still.

The arrival of the Zhou Family might impose some constraints, but it could also be an opportunity for the clan to step out of the Disordered Burial Mountain.

…

[You were born in a wild world! This place is fraught with dangers. To become a Tower to the Sky as soon as possible, you start to grow diligently!]

Seeing the prompt before him, Noah Ji was momentarily stunned, not having had the chance to observe his surroundings.

A wild world? Is this what you call a high-level map?

Could he have fallen into a trap again?

As the prompt disappeared, Noah began to observe his surroundings.

At this moment, he was growing on a flat piece of land.

With tenfold deduction, he no longer started growing as a Sapling but directly in his state from the Ancestral Hall, which was an advantage of multiple deductions.

Although he had lost his supernatural powers and techniques, all his abilities remained intact.

Noah reviewed the abilities he had comprehended after his previous deductions.

They were: Root Strengthening, High-Temperature Resistance, Tenacity, Low-Temperature Resistance, Free Growth, and Keen Perception.

There were only six abilities, but a few of them were quite effective, enough to give him some defense here, preventing a repeat of being devoured by a Dark Gold Beast.

However, as Noah took in his surroundings, his previously content mood vanished.

He saw a giant tree growing several dozen meters away.

This tree was several meters wide, its height disappearing into the clouds.

And there were many such enormous trees around!

Upon closer inspection, he realized he wasn’t growing on a flat plain but among these gigantic trees, surviving in the cracks.

But why were these trees so tall?

Noah was slightly shocked. How long would it take for him to grow to such a height?

Before time could accelerate, a new prompt appeared before Noah.

[The wild is rich in spiritual energy. You quickly developed intelligence and began absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.]

Thinking he had triggered a new plot, Noah was surprised to find that this time it skipped directly, giving him no choice.

Could this be a special feature of tenfold deduction?

But soon, Noah felt a different sensation within his body.

With the nourishment of the spiritual energy and the acceleration of time, his trunk began to grow rapidly.

In just a moment, Noah had grown to over a hundred meters tall, far surpassing his previous deductions.

But this height was not outstanding in this wild world.

As he grew, Noah’s vision extended further.

He saw a ferocious beast in the distance, roaring, with a body several meters long, wings on its back, resembling a giant tiger.

He saw a mountain-like giant ape, shaking the earth with its hands.

He saw a dragon with golden scales, its tail flickering in and out of the clouds.

He saw a colorful phoenix perched on a Phoenix Tree.

…

What he saw made Noah pause.

It seemed he had misunderstood; this wild world was indeed a high-level map.

But wasn’t it too high-level?

He was just a tree. Was it really suitable for him to grow here?

But thinking of the many divine beasts he had just seen, Noah had a different thought.

In the deduction world, the richer the plot, the more he could gain after the deduction, not to mention these extraordinary divine beasts.

If he could interact with them and trigger new plots, perhaps he would gain a lot this time.

But how could he attract these divine beasts while ensuring his safety?

Noah looked around, silently selecting his target.

That ferocious beast resembling a giant tiger didn’t seem friendly. Attracting it might be the end of him.

The mountain giant ape seemed not too bright, always smashing things around. Not very reliable.
