Dong! Dong! Dong!...

The solemn sound of bells continuously echoed in the sky.

In cities, in the countryside, in forests, atop mountains... in every place where life existed, in forms of sound, pheromones, colors, and more, they were all calling out the name of a great entity.

Tens of thousands of human followers of the "Father of Creation," hiding in shelters, involuntarily knelt on the ground, with tears in their eyes, praising the new title of their Main God over and over again—"God of All Things Fertile"!

A large number of Shaman Wizards originally belonging to the "Father of Creation," at this moment seemed to receive a "Revelation" simultaneously, their Extraordinary Spiritual Light continuously flickering, and they all transformed into orthodox [Holy Professionals].

With solemn faces, they reached out their hands towards the center of the ceremony, as if communicating telepathically, and began to chant the same hymn:

"The first one! The Supreme 'God of All Things Fertile'!

You laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are created by You;

Heaven and earth shall perish, but You shall endure!

Come praise our God, You are the source of all things;

Come praise our King, You are the lord of prosperity;

The stars in the sky, are placed by You;

The vast seas and mountains, share in Your glory!

Our Creator...."

At the site of the ascension ceremony, the "Life Tree," towering like a mountain, emitted a chime, seemingly resonating with the hymns that filled the entire land.

At this moment, Aiven, whose form had dispersed into the entire ecosystem, has yet to return.

However, the four servant demons: "Shadow Dragon" Kaka, "Human-faced Owl" Bess, "Honey Mushroom" Midorra, and "Thorny Crown Sea Serpent" Pipi, had a further reaction.

Kaka and Bess's auras rapidly swelled, reaching the Tier 3 Limit in the blink of an eye; even Midorra, who had a strong foundation and recently advanced, crossed into Tier 3 in an instant.

The most changed in appearance was Pipi, who had already surpassed 500 meters to reach a giant species size, now rapidly inflating as if in a burst, growing to 923 meters in a short time due to an unknown influx of power.

The breakthrough to 1000 meters to become a "Sea God's Son" was no longer far away.

Seeing this scene, Olivia, who had been worried sick for Aiven, finally breathed a sigh of relief and hugged Liweina, jumping for joy.

At this moment, the hearts of the two seemed entirely in sync, with room for nothing but happiness.

"Phew—!"

The nine people responsible for maintaining the ceremony's operation also let out long breaths of relief, sitting down on the ground.

But the faint brilliance emanating from them made it clear that they too harvested much in this ceremony critical to the future of the "Life Tree School."

At this moment.

Whizz! Whizz! Whizz! Whizz!

The towering "Life Tree" above suddenly swayed as four illusory branches descended, shooting into the bodies of Angie, Olivia, Anita, and Liweina.

Immediately, pure and gemstone-like flowing light, profoundly brilliant, surged along the branches.

The next moment, a tinge of red spread across the faces of the four, and a long sigh involuntarily escaped their throats.

It was the [Projection] of the "Life Tree" in the "Secret Realm," finding that after the original body completed the ascension, the Spiritual Origin, like a sun, had much left.

Thanks to Aiven's emulation of the Voodoo "Great Lord" years ago, using the Power of Faith to fill the Mysterious Source, the consumption during the manifestation of [Crown of Miracles] was far less than imagined.

However, based on more than ten years of experience, such magical existence as Continental Spiritual Origin could not be moved, let alone absorbed and then passed on to others.

But as a demigod ascended indigenously to the New Continent, and the only one eligible to control the continent's origin, and with the permissions left by the "Feathered Serpent God," Aiven could manipulate it to a limited extent.

This item was not even one-time use; monopolize the New Continent's origin in the future, and it would be like drawing a "salary" in a trickle, giving them a share every now and then.

However.

"Spiritual Origin" was indeed extremely precious, and there was no such thing as "not fearing scarcity but fearing inequality," uneven distribution was only right, and there really was nothing for others to envy.

Until a few minutes later, when the "Spiritual Origin" was completely absorbed, the aura of the four was visibly enhanced by leaps and bounds.

Olivia and Angie, these two wizards, have just barely stepped on the threshold of Tier 3 Peak, Anita advanced significantly on the path of an Adult Giant Dragon, and the "Titled Knight" Liweina simply reached the threshold of a "Titled Sacred Artifact."

Don't forget, behind them are several [Divine Positions] prepared, enough for [Divine Creatures] to fight over, Aiven seems to fear nothing more than not being able to satiate them.

This truly was like a saying: when one person attains the Dao, even his chickens and dogs ascend!

This is the truth of the world, where the conflict between infinite population and finite resources is the most fundamental contradiction.

For some people, the resources they desperately seek even at the cost of life and dignity are easily obtainable for others.

This is why everyone wants to climb higher.

Splat!

The air burst open, and countless shadows suddenly flashed from all directions, transforming in the sky into an Aiven who looked no different from usual, except a bit too handsome.

Gently clenching his fist, he felt the flood-like power within, a smile gradually appearing at the corner of his lips.

He had completed the transformation from human to deity, and various attributes that originally belonged to mortals had lost their meaning. However, acquiring three points of divinity at once had already made him far surpass an average demigod.

Even if the "God of Opera" Percy from his prime appeared before Aiven, he would only be ground into the dust.

Moreover.

Upon leaving the ecosystem, Aiven had already used his power to insert a brand-new segment of "introns" into the bodies of countless creatures, large and small.

It's like a "Golden Chain," representing Aiven's high-dimensional projection, also part of the "Life Tree" with him as the origin.

As creatures reproduce generation after generation, it will gradually become inseparable from the entire world. One could say that Aiven has now merged with the entire ecosystem of Herag Star!

Unless Aiven's body is completely sealed.

Otherwise, he would exist simultaneously in every corner of this world. Wherever there are creatures, there is his presence, turning every blade of grass into a soldier.

To truly kill him, one would have to instantaneously wipe out all living beings in this world.

Also, possessing a "Mythical Form: Native Species" is like having one's soul essence uploaded to the cloud, with the material world merely serving as interchangeable terminals.

No longer limited to merely replicating bodily strength as was the case with the "Eternal Shell," he is now a terrifying existence full of magic and powers.

This powerful force truly honors the efforts of countless previous Wizards from the "Life Tree School" throughout an entire era of half a million years.

However, this Tier 5 transformation still hasn't concluded.

The invisible border of "Witchcraft Garden: Poseidya City," spanning 1200 square kilometers, continues expanding outward: 2000 square kilometers, 3000 square kilometers, 4000 square kilometers...

After surpassing the limits of Tier 5 Human God, the "Witchcraft Garden" has undergone its most significant transformation yet, expanding tenfold to reach an astonishing 12,000 square kilometers.

Keep in mind that Aiven's initial colony, Georgia Territory, only covered 100,000 square kilometers.

The enormous material gap left can only be filled by fiercely bringing several islands from the "Broken Star Sea."

Afterwards, the "Life Tree" standing atop the tiered city Poseidya City constantly sways until it finally condenses into reality.

It towers like a celestial pillar holding up the sky, with cloud-like canopies extending their branches and leaves outward.

Its emerald leaves, dragon scale-like bark, bronze bell-like fruits between branches and leaves, resemble the Life Tree's main body existing in the "Sea of World Consciousness."

However, compared in size, it pales in comparison.

The minor mysterious source, "Crown of Miracles," is merely one branch of the "Life Tree," just the "Crown," only brings one branch into reality.

One can hardly imagine the terrifying power that would be obtained if one day the entire "Life Tree" could be fully materialized.

When this "Life Tree" finished growing, Poseidya City vanished entirely, yet on its massive canopy, a grand city with an elf style emerged.

Aiven nodded satisfyingly:

"Little world... Life Tree... This is my 'Wizard Secret Realm: Central Courtyard'!"

Just then.

Bang!

The "Secret Realm" located in the southern continent finally collapsed, and the reformed "Projection" returned to the material world.

But his brow slightly furrowed immediately afterwards:

"Why is it so quiet? Shouldn't these Demon Gods that lost their 'Spiritual Origin' start a bloody rampage after emerging?"

With a thought, he turned towards the east.

Unnoticed, thick fog had spread across the distant sea, shrouding everything, yet he could clearly sense a large area of marine life rapidly perishing within it.

And as Aiven paused momentarily, pondering the situation.

Crash!

A colossal hand suddenly pierced the atmosphere, aggressively reaching out for him.
