However, before checking the shelter and confirming his wives’ safety, Vikram first entered one of the gigantic Vine Sniper Towers near the Territory Gate.

The moment he stepped inside, he immediately noticed the difference.

The internal structure had completely transformed.

Now the inside resembled a living biological fortress tower.

Massive glowing root veins spread throughout the walls while spiral wooden pathways wrapped upward around the tower interior.

Several organic weapon structures resembling giant plant-machine guns were embedded into the tower walls themselves.

At the center of the tower floated a glowing control core connected to countless vines and roots.

At the same time, System information appeared before Vikram.

Vine Sniper Tower

Type: Mobile Structure / Long-Range Defensive Fortress Plant

Grade: Gold

Status: Bound To Treehouse Core

Energy Supply: Fully Supported By Treehouse Core Root Network

Description: A heavily evolved long-range territorial defense structure that has completely synchronized with the Treehouse Core.

The Vine Sniper Tower is no longer an independent plant structure. It has become a living extension of the Treehouse itself, connected through the underground Root Network and controlled directly through Territory synchronization.

After evolution, the tower has gained autonomous mobility, advanced targeting systems, biological heavy weapon platforms, and greatly enhanced battlefield support capabilities.

The tower now functions as a mobile long-range suppression fortress capable of dominating massive areas of the battlefield.

Structural Changes: Its height increased beyond mountain level, while its bark evolved into reinforced armored wood plating. Internal biological pathways expanded greatly, root synchronization became permanently linked with the Treehouse Core. And both stability and energy circulation were massively enhanced, allowing its vision range to extend across vast surrounding territories.

Capabilities: High-Elevation Battlefield Vision — Provides extreme long-range visual coverage across Territory 1, Territory 2, and nearby surrounding regions. When linked through Vision Link, the Host can observe the battlefield directly through the tower.

Living Sniper Fortress — Functions as a fortified combat station capable of housing Archer Druids, Archer Sprouts, Assassin Druids, and other ranged-type units for long-range surveillance and precision attacks.

Units stationed inside gain massive enhancements to accuracy, projectile speed, weak-point targeting, reaction speed, critical strike probability, and long-range combat stability.

Root Mobility System — Unlike its previous form, the tower can now slowly move throughout the Territory under the Treehouse’s control. Massive underground roots function as biological legs beneath the structure, allowing stable repositioning during emergencies or large-scale combat situations.

Biological Machine Gun Pods — Several heavy plant-type machine gun organisms have formed within the tower walls, capable of unleashing rapid-fire bio-energy bullet suppression through autonomous or manual targeting systems. Designed for continuous sustained fire and anti-swarm combat, these weapons maintain extremely high firing stability from elevated positions, while all ammunition is automatically generated through the Treehouse’s internal energy circulation, removing the need for manual reloading.

Integrated Targeting Network — The tower possesses a semi-autonomous battlefield targeting system capable of predicting enemy movements, highlighting weak points, marking priority threats, tracking multiple targets simultaneously, and synchronizing targeting data with other nearby towers for coordinated combat operations.

Arrow Channeling System — The tower’s internal plant-energy circulation network can empower projectiles fired by stationed units, greatly increasing penetration, projectile velocity, destructive force, and overall lethality during long-range attacks.

Supply & Recovery Core — The tower’s internal core continuously restores minor stamina, mental focus, and overall stability of stationed units, greatly improving long-term combat endurance and operational efficiency during extended battles.

Territory Synchronization Functions: Vision Link — The tower can directly share its vision with the Host, Treehouse Core, and all connected Territory structures, allowing seamless observation and enabling the Host to freely switch viewing perspectives between different towers across the Territory.

Synchronized Defense Network — All Vine Sniper Towers now function as a unified coordinated defense system, sharing targeting data, creating overlapping suppression zones, executing synchronized long-range attacks, accelerating enemy detection, and enabling devastating simultaneous focus fire against priority threats.

Treehouse Binding — The tower can no longer exist independently, as it is permanently bound to the Treehouse Core, from which it continuously receives energy, automatic repairs through the Root Network, and evolutionary growth synchronized with the Treehouse itself, making permanent destruction impossible unless the Treehouse Core suffers severe damage.

Role: Territorial Long-Range Suppression Fortress — Functions as a battlefield observation tower, long-range sniper fortress, defensive suppression platform, mobile support structure, territory-wide vision node, and a coordinated anti-siege defense tower capable of supporting large-scale territorial warfare.

After leaving the Vine Sniper Tower, Vikram moved deeper into the Territory.

His gaze soon landed on one of the newly formed small Treehouses.

Compared to the gigantic central Treehouse, these smaller structures appeared much more compact, only around a single floor in size, but each one possessed completely different appearances and symbols.

The moment Vikram approached one of them, he immediately felt familiar energy fluctuations.

He already had a rough guess about their purpose.

Still, he opened the system information to confirm it.

The moment his hand touched the bark, System information appeared.

Warrior Druid Treehouse

Type: Unit Residence / Combat Support Structure

Grade: Purple

Status: Bound To Treehouse Core

Assigned Unit Type: Warrior Druid

Description: A specialized combat-oriented sub-treehouse created directly by the Treehouse Core for Warrior Druids.

The structure functions as a resting area, combat preparation station, recovery chamber, and synchronization node for melee-type druid units.

The Treehouse naturally absorbs surrounding nature energy and channels it into stationed Warrior Druid, enhancing his recovery and combat readiness.

Appearance: The entire structure resembles a miniature fortress grown from dark brown ironwood. Its bark is thick and rough like hardened armor plating.

Several massive root pillars surround the lower structure like defensive supports while thick hanging vines wrap around the outer walls.

Above the entrance is a glowing crimson symbol resembling crossed wooden blades.

The roof is covered with dense leaf armor and sharpened wooden spikes.

At night, faint red-green light pulses through the root veins beneath the bark like a heartbeat.

Vikram silently nodded.

As expected, these small Treehouses were specialized residences and support stations for different druid types.

He then looked toward another nearby structure.

This Treehouse possessed blue glowing veins throughout its bark.

---

Water Mage Druid Treehouse

A calm and elegant Treehouse covered in flowing vine patterns resembling waves.

Soft blue leaves grow along the walls while water droplets continuously condense around the structure naturally.

The roof resembles layered lotus leaves, and a glowing blue symbol floats above the entrance.

The surrounding air feels cool and humid.

Functions: • Accelerates mana recovery

• Enhances water-element spell efficiency

• Improves mental stability and concentration

—

Nearby stood another far more aggressive looking structure.

Fire Mage Treekin Treehouse

The bark possesses dark-red patterns resembling flowing magma cracks.

Warm heat radiates continuously from the walls while ember-like spores drift around the structure.

Several flame-colored vines spiral upward around the Treehouse like burning serpents.

Above the entrance glows a blazing golden-red flame symbol.

Functions: • Increases fire-element efficiency

• Strengthens destructive spell output

• Enhances flame stability and energy circulation

Further away, a silver-green Treehouse stood almost silently among the vegetation.

---

Assassin Druid Treehouse

A stealth-oriented Treehouse partially concealed beneath hanging vines and dark leaves.

The bark possesses muted gray-green coloration while the structure itself seems strangely difficult to focus on directly.

Very little light reflects from its surface. Even the surrounding sounds become quieter nearby.

Functions: • Improves stealth synchronization

• Increases movement concealment

• Enhances assassination efficiency and reaction speed

Vikram continued observing the remaining Treehouses throughout the Territory.

Each one clearly represented a specialized support structure connected to specific druid or combat types.

However, gis gaze soon shifted toward the five symbol-less Treehouses.

Unlike the others, those structures looked completely neutral.

No elemental energy leaked from them.

No combat aura surrounded them.

And looking at the five Mage Seeds in his space, he understood these houses for them. He then planted the five Mage Seeds near each five small Treehouses.

Finally, Vikram walked toward the gigantic Treehouse itself to inspect the internal changes.

However, the moment he arrived near the entrance, he stopped slightly. The original vine entrance was gone.

Previously, thick vines would separate automatically to allow entry, but now the outer trunk looked completely sealed.

Vikram frowned slightly in confusion.

Then suddenly, a portion of the massive trunk slowly split apart.

Wood and roots shifted smoothly to the sides, revealing an opening large enough for several people to enter together.

The inside emitted a faint green glow. Vikram stepped inside cautiously. The moment he entered, his expression changed slightly again.

The interior was no longer a staircase-like structure. Instead, it resembled an elevator.

A circular biological platform surrounded by glowing roots stood inside the hollow trunk while countless vine veins spread across the walls.

The moment Vikram stepped onto the platform, system prompts appeared naturally inside his mind.

Sixth Floor.

Fifth Floor.

Fourth Floor.

Third Floor.

Second Floor.

First Floor.

Underground First Floor.

Underground Second Floor.

The Treehouse had formed a complete internal transportation system.

Without needing stairs and without needing vines.

The entire Treehouse itself now functioned like a living biological tower.

Without hesitation, Vikram selected the Underground First Floor.

The biological platform began descending smoothly through the massive trunk.

The speed was surprisingly stable.

After several moments, the elevator finally stopped.

The wooden walls opened automatically. Vikram stepped out immediately.

And what he saw made him slightly relieved. The residential settlement house was still there.

Almost completely unchanged.

The internal structure, furniture, and rooms remained mostly identical to before.

However, the walls now appeared much thicker and denser while root veins spread beneath parts of the structure, clearly reinforcing it.

Its durability had obviously increased greatly after becoming integrated underground within the Treehouse.

The moment the girls saw Vikram appear from the strange elevator-like structure, their expressions instantly changed.

The three girls were visibly shocked.

Especially after realizing he had somehow appeared from inside the Treehouse itself.

Only Luna looked completely calm.

She merely glanced toward the elevator before lazily sitting there as if none of this surprised her at all.

Before the others could begin asking questions, Vikram raised his hand.

"Shh."

His expression remained serious.

Without wasting time, he immediately turned back toward the biological elevator.

Seeing his reaction, the girls quickly followed behind him.

Soon, the group descended toward the Underground Second Floor.

The moment the elevator doors opened, everyone became silent. The second underground floor was enormous.

Yet strangely empty.

The entire area resembled a gigantic underground biological chamber.

Massive roots spread throughout the walls, ceiling, and floor like living veins.

Soft green-gold light pulsed rhythmically across the chamber.

However, only two things truly existed inside the massive underground floor.

The first was the Treehouse Core. And the second was a gigantic control-type biological display system connected directly to the surrounding roots.

The display looked almost like a living holographic map formed entirely from roots and glowing energy veins.

Countless glowing lines spread outward from the central Treehouse Core toward every section of Territory 1.

Vikram could clearly see the entire underground Root Network.

The Vine Sniper Towers. The Territory Gate. The smaller Treehouses. Everything was connected.

The entire Territory infrastructure had become interconnected through the Treehouse Root System.

Like organs connected inside a living body.

The more Vikram observed it, the more terrifying the scale of the Treehouse evolution felt.

Finally, his gaze slowly shifted toward the center of the chamber, toward the Treehouse Core itself.

Treehouse Core (Red-Mythic)

Type: Territory Authority Core

Status: Stable

Level: 1

Upgradeable: Yes

Level Up Requirement: Territory Core ×50

Upgrade Requirement:

• Treehouse Core Level 50

• Plant Essence × 500,000

• Treehouse Upgrade Required

Description: Due to unknown evolutionary mutation, the original Territory Core completely merged with the new Treehouse Core and evolved into a higher lifeform authority structure.

The Treehouse Core now serves as the central authority, energy source, and control system of the entire Territory.

The entire Territory is now connected through the Treehouse Root Network.

Territory Range: 500 × 501 × 500 sqm

Territory Buffs:

• Creature stamina recovery +100% within Territory.

• Building durability +100% within Territory.

• All biological beings inside Territory slowly recover from, infections, diseases, parasites, toxins and minor biological corruption.

• Humans, animals, birds, and plant-type lifeforms receive continuous biological purification inside Territory range.

• All biological beings and plant-type organisms inside Territory gain: • +10 All Physique.

• Territory environmental stability greatly increased.

• Root Network automatically supports all connected structures and defensive systems.

Territory Energy System: The Treehouse Core no longer requires maintenance energy. Instead, the Core itself continuously generates biological energy and supplies it throughout the entire Territory.

The Treehouse Core now functions as the main energy source of Treehouse and all plants connected to it.

Large Warehouse: Your Treehouse Core has granted access to a shared Territory Warehouse. This warehouse functions similarly to the Survival Platform backpack, but with far greater capacity and Territory synchronization support

Features: Shared storage space accessible to all authorized Territory members, providing large-scale storage independent of personal backpacks. The Warehouse is protected under Treehouse Core authority, preventing unauthorized access to stored resources, while also supporting automatic organization of items. Authorized members can access it anywhere within Territory range, and the Host retains full access even outside the Territory boundaries.

Note: Continued evolution may eventually transform Territory 1 into a fully autonomous biological civilization ecosystem.
