Each tree stump is the size of a skyscraper.
The air density increases accordingly.
Human beings are but a drop in the ocean compared to this behemoth.
Even the gods would probably only be able to sigh helplessly at the terror of this power.
Before my eyes, the entire world was covered by countless green veils.
The density of oxygen alone is enough to kill life.
She single-handedly transformed the terrain into a lifeless, desolate forest, as if mocking nature itself for civilization.
Even a tyrant wouldn't act as recklessly as she did.
“That’s right. It’s just that the environment was set back to the time when the planet was born and it had this power, which is very fitting for my identity. In this way, even if other people come here, they should know whose home this is.”
Zhu Yue nodded with satisfaction.
Yao, who was watching from the sidelines, felt a little suffocated.
He wasn't mistaken; Zhu Yue had turned a vast area into a no-man's-land simply to claim it.
You should know that this one trick alone could easily wipe out human civilization.
But she used it so easily.
Anyone with a normal head would feel a headache.
However, Zhu Yue still had a smug smile on her face, looking excited and hoping that Yao would come and praise her soon.
Zhu Yue also explained in a very serious tone:
"Important things must be protected with important forces."
Besides, my younger brother's things are my things too, and we can't let others infringe on our property.
"Well, although I have a lot to say, I'll just leave it at that... I'm very happy that you helped me."
Yao's expression was a mixture of relief and helplessness.
What can we do? Just spoil her.
Zhu Yue exercised her planetary powers for his sake, so how can you blame Zhu Yue for thinking only of yourself?
Garlic Bird, Garlic Bird, even he himself couldn't bear to part with it.
Besides, the Imaginary Tree is absolutely vital to Yao, so it's not wrong for Zhu Yue to use such power to protect it.
"As far as I know, there are gods in the sea within this star. If they discover it, will they come in?"
You mean those guys?
Although I don't know much about it, I left my mark here. If they dare to come, I can only take it as a provocation.
"Then don't blame me for kicking down their door."
A strange light flashed in Zhu Yue's eyes.
The next second, a sadistic sneer appeared on her face, like a blade that had not yet been drawn but was eager to taste blood.
Zhu Yue is the protector of the planet.
It is also a UO from the moon.
On Earth, only a handful of pantheons can rival her; other gods are beyond Zhu Yue's comprehension.
There's no need to worry about those guys.
Instead, let's think about where we should go next; that's the most important thing!
"Okay, okay, let's think about it as we walk."
Yao took off and pounced on Zhu Yue, who was on his back.
The two gradually drifted apart amidst their playful banter.
Zhu Yue received resources and assistance from the planet, while Yao received memories and wisdom from it.
Just like what he said to Zhu Yue on the moon.
According to the planet's memories, Yao knows that the world is currently in an era of the decline of the divine age.
The gods have lost their power, and humanity has risen.
Yao didn't get much power from Gaia, so he still needed to find a way to become as strong as possible.
Planting the tree of dreams is only the first step.

Chapter Nine: Farewell to the Age of Gods! The Moon Goddess's Gift! [Seeking Flowers! Seeking Monthly Tickets!]
The time period is 500 BC.
Twenty years have passed since Zhu Yue and Yao came to the Earth from the moon.
These twenty years have not been wasted.
Together, the two traveled to every corner of the earth, experiencing the civilization created by humankind and the traces left by the gods.
The decline of the divine era is undoubtedly an inevitable trend.
As the year 1 AD drew closer, the amount of true ether remaining on the Earth's surface dwindled.
In the Celestial Empire, Yao witnessed the rudiments of thought magic and the Mountain Court; in the North Sea, he saw the runic magic created by humankind imitating the wisdom of the gods; and in ancient Israel, he saw the magical legacy left by King Solomon.
The Magic Association has not yet been established.
Neither the Clock Tower, nor the Atlas Alchemy Institute, nor the Wandering Sea ever came into being.
The biggest challenge for magicians today is how to retain mystery.
This journey was truly remarkable.
However, if we're talking about which trip was the most rewarding, it would naturally have to be the recent trip to Greece.
Relying on the knowledge and memories provided by the planet.
In Greece, Yao found the legendary Palace of the Moon Goddess and even unearthed the technology of the Machine God in the deepest part of the palace.
The Greek gods did not originate from Earth itself, but from other interstellar civilizations outside Earth.
The Greek gods took a long time to evolve from mechanical gods into earthly conceptual gods.
Yao saw one of the twelve Olympian gods in the temple.
Her name is Artemis, the goddess of the moon.
"The embodiment of the planet's soul, a royal family known as the True Ancestors. They are qualified enough to stand on equal footing with us, the Olympian gods."
Your name is Yao? That's a nice name.
"If you grant me just one request, I, Artemis, the moon goddess, will surely offer you my utmost support."
The moonlight shone down, and the temple was filled with a sacred divine aura.
Yao and the Moon Goddess face to face.
Artemis's request was not unreasonable; she only needed to offer her faith and give herself a seat as an observer.
The Greek gods have chosen to entrust the future to humankind.
As the previous generation of primates, they no longer intend to remain on the surface; their only future destination is the Inner Sea of the Stars.
It's impossible to say that the gods don't care about humanity.
However, their concern was not about the life and death of humans, but about knowing how their successors would develop.
The gods do not care about the life and death of humankind.
From their perspective, since humanity has chosen to part ways with the gods, they have no reason to interfere with humanity any further.
This is both compassion and ruthlessness.
"So whether one lives or dies, it all comes down to the choices made by humanity itself. My followers all think this way, and all I can do is offer my blessings."
However, I still want to see the process and the ending~ So, Yao-jun, you have to save me the front row seats.
I hope you will become my spokesperson for observing the world.
If you agree to this condition, I will offer my blessings in every battle you fight from now on.
"Artemis said playfully."
While possessing a compassionate heart, he also possesses a cold-blooded ruthlessness, which indeed aligns with Yao's general impression of the gods.
The gods undoubtedly love humankind.
But they simply love the concept of humanity.
Gods generally look like this.
These deities only adopt a different approach when dealing with certain people they particularly favor.
"Artemis, you're really too casual... You know, in terms of status, I'm on the opposite side of humanity." Yao complained as he accepted the goddess's gift.
"It doesn't matter at all. The gods have already graduated. If you want to compete with humans, that's a matter between you and humans."
If humanity ultimately fails, it only proves that—humanity is nothing more than this.
Artemis's attitude was very nonchalant.
She explained the attitudes of the Greek gods towards humankind, and then went on to explain the attitudes of other gods.
"However, there are always exceptions. If things get too big, some busybodies might come looking for fun."
"Artemis, are you serious?"
"Oh dear, I didn't say anything! The Age of Gods has faded away, we wouldn't think of coming back to play just for our own selfish desires, absolutely not, absolutely not... After all, we don't have that opportunity, hehe."
Artemis said with a smile.
Like an innocent and romantic young girl.
However, the content of his words was unsettling.
Yao finally understood what Artemis meant.
Not all gods leave voluntarily; a considerable number are forced to leave.
If given the opportunity, these benevolent deities would definitely come to the mortal world to cause trouble.
...........
Let's go back to the present, when Yao and Zhu Yue have left Greece.
Their final stop was the European continent.
"These past twenty years have been truly fulfilling..."
Yao couldn't help but sigh.
Perhaps because he was a True Ancestor with an endless lifespan, Yao felt that the past twenty years had passed very quickly.
The imaginary tree has also grown from a seedling into a juvenile.
Yao reviewed the abilities he had acquired over the years.
[The host's ability entries are as follows]
[One of the Primordial Elements (D+++), Realization of Illusion (D), Breath of the Stars (C), Bewitching Eyes (C), Magic Resistance (C), Divine Barrier (A), Blessing of the Moon Goddess (A+), Mechanical Archery (EX), Wisdom of the Stars (EX)]
The above panel is constructed using the computational power of the imaginary tree.
Yao uses his computational abilities as a game system, which allows him to see the changes in his own abilities more intuitively.
Over the years, he has learned a great deal about human knowledge.
However, there is one thing that is quite regrettable.
The True Ancestor was born to stand on the opposite side of humanity.
Therefore, the True Ancestors are quite poor at adapting to the mysteries and magic created by humans.
