Chapter 852: Chapter 442: Asking Teammates to Die_2

To counterbalance the Chaos Dragon God, the only method right now is to awaken the Divine Tree from its slumber in reality and have it fully recover.

"I haven’t forgotten," the Divine Tree spoke. "Besides helping you retrieve your power and memories, I’ve also been gathering it."

As it spoke.

In front of Lu Ran and Liu Hua, a green fruit appeared, very much resembling the core of the Flower God.

[Name]: World Fruit

[Level]: Legend

[Introduction]: A divine fruit condensed from the power of the world, capable of restoring the Divine Tree’s own strength.

"That war you refer to, I must have been gravely injured, or perhaps the world was riddled with holes, reducing my control over it, which is why I have been unable to recover," the Divine Tree explained.

"But now, I am at my peak, and my control over the world is at its highest stage. This World Fruit, which I have condensed with all my strength, might just help my grievously wounded self get past this obstacle."

The fruit of the Divine Tree landed in Liu Hua’s hands, and Lu Ran fell into contemplation, saying, "Indeed."

"The battle between you and the Chaos Dragon God indeed shattered the world, but that probably wasn’t the key issue. After the Plant Era ended, the world entered the Mechanical Era dominated by humans. At the end of the Mechanical Era, a catastrophic war ensued that was even more terrifying than the war between beasts and flora."

"The Star-Moon World almost perished because of it."

"Even the Affiliations of the Divine Dragon prepared to find a new homeland."

"The degree of the world’s fragmentation from that battle must have been even greater, possibly affecting you, who are deeply tied to the Star-Moon World."

The Divine Tree said, "An era dominated by humans, huh? Fate really is quite wondrous. I am looking forward to the future even more now."

Liu Hua remained silent. Alas, there was no future destined within the Breakthrough Secret Realm, Infinite City... What exactly is that existence that can materialize even a Main God indiscriminately?

Do the Four Great Dragon Gods really possess such power?

......

The target of Lu Ran and his companions’ legendary mission was determined to be the hunting of the Vine God, as mentioned by the Flower God.

This Vine God happened to be a Middle Legend and was severely wounded by the residual effects of the battle between the Divine Tree and the Chaos Dragon God, injuries that even the Divine Tree couldn’t heal.

It was quite fortunate among its peers, for countless spirits perished in the war a millennia ago, including both Liu Hua and the Void Leaf. This goes to show how lucky it was to survive.

However, it was unfortunate that it ultimately couldn’t escape death, and to die at the hands of its comrades nonetheless.

At this moment, Lu Ran also began to summon back his scattered Pet Beasts, reminding them to return through their contract.

......

On Mr. Husky’s side.

After completing the mission for Senior Brother Divine Sculpture Hero, it had long since ditched him to go off and play.

However, to ensure that Senior Brother Divine Sculpture Hero wouldn’t get bored, he did leave behind a branch wrapped in the Star-Slaying Sword Intent for him to study.

It remained to be seen whether Lu Ran, the swordsmanship prodigy, could comprehend this ultimate Sword Intent.

As for Mr. Husky himself...

He went to do what he had long wanted to do.

In the void, an Energy Shaped creature with three heads and six Werewolf arms and a Mantis were locked in a frenzied battle for who knows how long.

With the Breakthrough Secret Realm bound to disappear sooner or later, Mr. Husky took to dismantling the barriers of the Star-Moon World as a practice for his swords, having long harbored this wish.

As expected, the antics caught the attention of the Void Mantis from the Void Royal Court.

But Mr. Husky was smart and had already mastered Lu Ran’s art of bluffing, directly holding deer antlers, taking on the form of a Deer-Dog with the Energy Shaping of a Divine Deer, and started to fool the Void Mantis, claiming it came from the Divine Deer.

Then, he managed to gain himself a super swordsmanship sparring partner.

Mr. Husky was thrilled.

But the Sword Grass, Sword Spirit, and Lightsaber suffered—what happened to the promised tourism? Instead, they were fighting the entire time.

......

Outside the Flower God’s Secret Realm.

The King of Sudden Death stayed in the forests outside the Secret Realm the entire time, not going anywhere else.

Although the Comical Shield really wanted to go out to see the world, the King of Sudden Death earnestly persuaded it—they all had fused with the Blood of the Dragon God!!!

At a time when the Chaos Dragon God was also at its peak, being caught would mean sudden death.

Even though Lu Ran had added a Space-Time Shield to them, it still wasn’t very safe!

Although having super permissions means you can resurrect even after death, it’s still best to avoid dying a sudden death if possible.

In the end, King of Sudden Death really hunkered down with Comical Shield in the woods outside the Secret Realm for a long time; but he wasn’t idle either—during the Plant Era, fruits and vegetables were abundant. Having previously learned a few tricks from Lu Ran, he incessantly used various plants to research defense-enhancing fruit wines, raising a toast with Comical Shield, he was determined to further develop Wine Dragon Mode.

......

Star Moon Outer Sea.

Dark Crow flew here alone, capturing all of the Evil God Creatures lingering outside.

It knew that a Legendary battle could be looming, so it planned to secure some sacrificial offerings in advance.

However, this wasn’t Dark Crow’s main goal. Its true aim was to imitate Lu Ran and try some tomb raiding.

"Curse it, caw!"

Yet, after searching for a long time, Dark Crow couldn’t find any relics of the faith related to the "Middle Legend: Evil God."

Ghost Mother had sealed anything related to the Evil God too well. Apart from a few minor artifacts, nothing else remained in the outside world.

This caused Dark Crow much frustration.

It still wanted to find an Evil God relic so No. 18 could attempt to materialize the Evil God.

Then... by devouring the malevolent spirit of the Evil God, it would undoubtedly raise its curse power to a new level, and incidentally seize the Evil God’s faith!

"I suppose I’ll have to ask the Abyss God after I return," Dark Crow said regretfully, "Ghost Mother shouldn’t mind if we play around with the Evil God’s Spiritual Body using the Power of Time, hehehe."

......

Besides, Yun Bao, who used to be a Disaster Spirit, had transformed into a patch of auspicious clouds, leisurely drifting above the skies of Star-Moon Continent.

Not being used as a mode of transportation and being able to lie in the sky to sleep freely for long periods was something quite rare for Yun Bao; when hungry, it could simply enter any Disaster Zone to feast on a disaster, truly a proper relaxing excursion.

Flower God Relic.

When Lu Ran and the others returned here, they saw No. 18 chasing a tiger-headed Baize around the garden in a frenzy, while Hua Sheng was nowhere to be seen, her whereabouts unknown.

"No. 18, where’s Hua Sheng?"

"Roar," No. 18 gave up the chase and said, "She went to test her Beast Training Technique."

"Master, you’re finally back. This little rascal... such a rascal, he doesn’t train at all."

No. 18 indignantly looked at Baize, feeling that the latter had no semblance of the wise one that is in touch with all things and knows the mysteries of spirits and ghosts, no different from a mischievous child.

"Nyah nyah nyah nyah~~~" Behind a tree, Baize stood against the trunk and made faces at No. 18 with its paws, then its eyes sparkled as it looked at Lu Ran.

It was like a child eyeing a father returning from working away from home.

"Forget it, it’s still young; having a happy childhood is more important," Lu Ran said with a gentle and affable smile.

No. 18: ???

Human language?

Am I not young?

Before long, King of Sudden Death, Yun Bao, Mr. Husky, Dark Crow, and the rest one by one returned, and Lu Ran’s team regathered.

"My king, is it time to hunt down Legends?" Dark Crow hadn’t forgotten the legendary quest.

"Yes," said Lu Ran, planning to use a chance of resurrection to revive Hua Sheng.

Lu Ran was well aware of the strength of this Legendary Plantmaster. Perhaps in terms of combat, the plant attribute might not be the strongest, but in terms of support, it definitely was top-notch, like the Time Fruit that Lu Ran once came across—an incredibly advantageous resource!

It could briefly raise a Pet Beast’s Level to 100, borrowing its future power!

Hua Sheng could mass-produce such a resounding resource without much effort. One could imagine how formidable Lu Ran’s team of Pet Beasts could become with the aid of a Legendary Plantmaster in time manipulation, in terms of combat prowess.

And abilities like the Time Fruit were just one among the many auxiliary abilities Hua Sheng had. Lu Ran had long coveted the capabilities of Heroic Spirit Hua Sheng, but unfortunately, Heroic Spirits are not True Living Beings. The resources they produced were illusionary and only effective for themselves, a far cry from real life.

Moreover, with Hua Sheng stationed at Blue Star, Lu Ran wouldn’t have to worry about the monster siege version causing too much threat to Xia Country.

"Then my king, have you identified a target yet???"

"I have. Liu Hua has ascended to Middle Legend. The upcoming hunt, cough, mission, isn’t really related to you all. She can handle it on her own."

"Moreover, the mission target doesn’t necessitate killing an enemy. It’s the same if she annihilates her own people and sends them to reincarnation."

"Flower God is already working on getting in touch. Let’s see if we can exploit a bug successfully. If not, we’ll look for a new target."

The Pet Beasts: ???

Is that even possible?

Lu Ran’s expression was indifferent, completing the mission by the book was out of the question, looking for shortcuts to breeze through without harm was much more comfortable.
