Chapter 258: Chapter 206 War Status of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree_1

This object, immediately recognizable as no ordinary item and stemming from the corrupted race of Foul Giants, shouldn’t be touched or used until it has been appraised and purified by professionals, otherwise you might not even know how you died.

After confirming that there were no more threats to their safety within the Dark Cavern, Gaven then reassigned their tasks, "I’m going back to the Dragon Oak Dragon Nest to check the situation there. You all stay put and search this camp thoroughly to see if there’s anything or anyone we missed. While I’m away, Twilight will be the commander-in-chief, and only Twilight and Thornspike are allowed to touch any objects related to the Foul Giants. If anyone else finds anything, do not touch it."

Gaven turned his gaze to the Young Red Copper Dragon and the young Red Dragon and said, "Especially you two, don’t be greedy. You’ll definitely get a share of the loot later, but if you mess with something you shouldn’t and get cursed, even if I save you, it will cost twice the treatment fee."

"Rest assured," Aivensa replied while patting her chest, "I know my limits. I wouldn’t want to end up asymmetrical and ugly. I don’t want anything from these monsters. When the time comes, you can give me the cash equivalent."

The powers of the Foul Giants were too sinister, and even if purified, they still did not inspire confidence.

She had no intention of storing treasures tainted by these evil creatures in her own Dragon’s Nest.

Waking up to find oneself twisted and ugly like the Foul Giants would make life not worth living.

The young Red Dragon, who usually found it difficult to see eye to eye with the Young Red Copper Dragon, nodded repeatedly in agreement with Aivensa’s views.

"It’s good if you are aware of that," said Gaven, who without further ado activated the Flawless Teleportation of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree.

This Teleportation Spell, a reward from the Milestone of Destiny, was clearly different from the ordinary ones.

When activated, it wasn’t white light that flickered, nor was there the illusion of space folding.

Instead, a tremendous Strength arose beneath his feet and, amid the emerald light, pulled Gaven away. When he came back to his senses, he was already in the safe house of the Dragon Oak Dragon Nest.

No sooner had Gaven steadied himself than he felt a figure pounce on him, crashing directly into his arms.

It was clear who it was without even asking.

Aside from him, there was only one person who could enter this safe house—Lord Virginia.

Obviously, she had accurately anticipated his return to check on the situation and had been waiting for him.

It was not so much that Virginia pounced into Gaven’s arms; she more accurately leaped into them.

She wrapped her legs around his waist and without a word, delivered her soft, sweet lips for a passionately initiated kiss.

If it weren’t for the familiar scent she gave off, Gaven might have thought he had mistaken her for someone else.

Although Gaven had broken through the most intimate barriers with Lord Virginia, with close and deep contact not just once or twice,

It had always been him initiating, with Lord Virginia participating half-heartedly.

Moreover, prior to this, there would always be a considerable amount of flirtation as a preamble, and everything seemed natural and inevitable.

But Virginia taking the initiative so ardently, as she did this time, was a first.

The reason behind Lord Virginia’s passion was obvious without asking.

It must be the changes taking place with the Dragon Oak Mother Tree that exceeded her expectations, making her unable to contain her own excitement.

Especially since Gaven had brought about all these changes.

Emotions erupted beyond her control.

The more repressed on regular days, the more terrifying the outburst.

This saying couldn’t be more fitting for Lord Virginia.

She was not a mere pool of spring water, but a fiercely burning fire.

She had ignited herself and in turn ignited Gaven.

In such a scene, even the most important matters could be set aside for the time being.

At first, Gaven thought to surrender all control to Lord Virginia, letting her lead everything.

But he quickly realized that doing so was pure torture for himself.

For their needs were not quite equal.

But for Gaven, this was just the beginning.

Seeing sign of Lord Virginia ready to separate and discuss serious matters, Gaven promptly became proactive, releasing his desires into her at the earliest opportunity, using her own weight to launch a tempest-like assault while standing.

Once sparked, the war would not end in a short time.

Especially this time, with Virginia’s passion out of control.

Gaven took the opportunity to conquer a spot that was otherwise impossible to seize.

After exhausting all her tricks to unleash Gaven’s dark desires, a spent Lord Virginia couldn’t wait to say, "Let’s go. I’ll take you to see the changes in the Dragon Oak Mother Tree."

Before Gaven could respond, they were already thousands of meters above Spring Bud Forest, with the Dragon Oak Mother Tree below them.

Gaven’s attention was immediately captured by the Dragon Oak Mother Tree.

The Dragon Oak Mother Tree had not grown larger, but quite the opposite—it had shrunk significantly.

The once vast canopy that had covered nearly ten kilometers in diameter had now shrunk to less than one kilometer.

But the lower half of its body had become incredibly thick and strong, with numerous massive branches sprouting forth.

The huge tree roots pulled themselves up from the depths of the earth, lifting the soil and stones of their anchoring spot, all of which combined to form its immense lower half.

A vast amount of verdant energy, just like blood, pulsed and flowed through the cavities and crevices.

The Dragon Oak Mother Tree’s current form bore a five or six tenths resemblance to Thornspike, only its size was more than a hundred times larger, making Thornspike seem as minute as an ant in comparison.

At this moment, Gaven finally realized where the massive amounts of verdant energy that filled the Dark Cavern came from—it must have been the part of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree that was compressed and transformed.

Both the Dark Domain and the Dragon Oak Dragon Nest were situated within her body.

Looking at the Dragon Oak Mother Tree before him, Gaven couldn’t help asking, "Could it be that the Dragon Oak Mother Tree has enlightened its own intelligence and transformed into a special Treant?"

This time, Virginia played coy and teased, "Your connection with the Dragon Oak Mother Tree is even closer than with me. Do you still need to ask me this question?"

Reminded by Virginia, Gaven felt his heart agitated and realized he had forgotten this point. He quickly immersed his consciousness into the Consciousness Sea.

Indeed, the shadow of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree inside had greatly altered, identical to the one before his eyes.

To be more precise, the situation was even more detailed.

Because here, Gaven could clearly discern the various related positions.

For example, the Dragon Oak Dragon Nest was located at the position of the heart.

And the Dark Cavern was located at the tail.

However, Gaven did not feel the fluctuations one would expect from an intelligent being within it. Instead, what he felt was more like a blend of countless consciousnesses—that was the Dragon Oak Dream Realm.

Could it be that the Dragon Oak Mother Tree’s activation was related to the Dragon Oak Dream Realm?

The more Gaven thought about it, the more he believed his speculation was correct.

The Dragon Oak Mother Tree has existed in the Fairy Wilderness for many years, even above the Spring Bud Forest.

If enlightenment could be achieved through normal methods, the Druids of the Fairy Wilderness would have done it long ago; there was no need to wait until now.

Considering its enormous size, even if the gods of the natural pantheon descended, there was still a question of whether they could enlighten and activate it.

With his speculation in mind, Gaven withdrew from his Consciousness Sea and asked, "What exactly is going on?"

"Take a guess!" Virginia revealed a mischievous smile. She quite enjoyed seeing Gaven anxious.

"If you don’t tell me now, believe it or not, I will execute you right here and now." Gaven reached out, caressed her firm body, and threatened fiercely.

"I don’t believe you. Just try it," Virginia shot Gaven a sideways glance, with ripples of endless coquettishness.

"Let’s just try!" The Energy Dragon Wings unfolded behind Gaven, helping him further stabilize his stance, and with a reach of his hand, he pulled Lord Virginia into his embrace.

Startled, Virginia lost her composure and said, "I believe you, I believe you, I’ll tell you what’s going on."

She hadn’t expected that in such a short time, Gaven had grown even stronger, no longer relying purely on the Flying Spell to compensate for his weakness in the air.

"Humph!" Gaven revealed a triumphant, naughty smile. "Is it because of the Dragon Oak Dream Realm?"

Gaven, having just indulged himself, didn’t have as strong desires at the moment. He meant only to intimidate Virginia, as discussing serious matters was more important now, or else it would delay them another half a day. Yet he didn’t let go of Virginia, enjoying the touch of her skin smooth as silk.

Lord Virginia forgot to struggle and widened her bright eyes, "How did you guess?"

"That’s simple. The Dragon Oak Mother Tree didn’t transform into a war state earlier or later, but instead chose to do so after possessing the Dragon Oak Dream Realm. Since no one in the Spring Bud Forest could enlighten it, if not for the Dragon Oak Dream Realm, then who?" As he spoke, Gaven’s thoughts involuntarily diverged further, "Could it be that the Dragon Oak Dream Realm has become the leading consciousness of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree? We might be able to control the Dragon Oak Mother Tree by manipulating the Dragon Oak Dream Realm."

"You really dare to dream." Virginia nodded, "Yes, the Dragon Oak Dream Realm has now integrated with the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, and we can maneuver the Dragon Oak Mother Tree through it."

"Can we really do that?" Gaven involuntarily swallowed hard; his wild speculations had turned out to be more than just conjectures.

"We really can." Lord Virginia nodded gravely, "You will know this feeling once you enter the Dragon Oak Dream Realm, but..."

"But what?" Gaven hastily asked, fearing the worst from that ’but.’

"The fact is, our Dragon Oak Dream Realm is far too weak compared to the main body of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree. Even by combining the strength of fifty thousand of the Fae Race, we wouldn’t manage to make it budge an inch," Lord Virginia said, with a hint of dejection in her tone.

"So that’s it," Gaven said, letting out a long sigh of relief and smiling, "That’s easy to solve."

"Easy to solve? That’s the biggest problem," Lord Virginia’s bright eyes widened, "How many people do we have in the entire Spring Bud Forest? The Fae Race gathered here already accounts for at least one-fifth, maybe even more. Even if I mobilize everyone with all my might, the number that could assemble here would be at most a hundred and fifty or two hundred thousand. Do you think that’s enough to get the Dragon Oak Mother Tree moving? Besides, we can’t even do that."

"Doing so would be killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. Keeping around thirty thousand of the Fae Race near the Dragon Oak Mother Tree is the most suitable. If we have more, it would affect the natural balance of the entire Spring Bud Forest. We must establish a system of collaborative rotation that maintains the Dragon Oak Mother Tree’s allure to the Fae while ensuring the sustenance system of the Spring Bud Forest remains balanced," Gaven clearly had thought this through.

The Dragon Oak Dream Realm was indeed a wonderful thing, but it could not operate without real-world support.

Even the Fae need food and drink.

Moreover, the Gnolls of the Dragon Oak Territory still required a large amount of resources from the Spring Bud Forest.

Previously, during the special war period, there was no hesitation in urging the Fae to come.

Now that the war is over, it’s time to return to normal.

"I’m aware of that. What I want to know is, how do we solve the population dilemma?" That was what truly concerned Lord Virginia.
