Ascension of the Sylvan Cosmos - Volume 1

Chapter 40. Tree vs Tree.

After Leveling up, Liu Shu opened her <World Tree Eye>, and her vision soared outward, but before she could continue to do so, a sharp pain came from her roots, making her lose concentration.

While Liu Shu could see the world around her with <World Tree eye> with extreme clarity, she naturally didn't only have that way of interacting with it. Humans have a sense of smell, hearing, and touch other than their eyes, and trees and other plant creatures can use their affinity with energy to feel the world around them.

Shapes and forms blurred in this vision, becoming a black world with glowing energy veins going around everything. White winds that touched and scattered when colliding, a gentle mist of another energy being expelled by creatures, and many more fantastical sights entered Liu Shu's mind.

While it was less reliable than what <World Tree Eye> gave for rapid-paced battles or searching visual details, looking at her entire domain was much more effective with this natural vision.

Liu Shu spread her senses through her roots and reached the point where she felt pain. 'Oh? No wonder...'

Our tree looked at how one of her recently spread and weak roots had been crushed by another tree, making her feel annoyed. 'What, are you unhappy that I'm spreading past my territory?'

If she had lips, they would've arched in a sneer. 'That's not my problem.'

Her energy surged and went from her <World Tree Heart> toward her roots, rushing through the complex network until they arrived at that point. She didn't have any skills to manipulate her roots as she manipulated her branches with <Willow Strike>. Still, that didn't mean that she couldn't use them.

First, using her system, she analyzed the tree that attacked her.

Liu Shu looked at its system page for a few seconds and snorted. 'No wonder you dare came at me. You have not awakened proper intelligence.

However, did the World Tree care? It didn't. Everything that attacked a World Tree was an enemy to be destroyed. Only a very out-of-the-ordinary situation would cause World Trees to not retaliate against anyone who tried to hurt them.

The Rose Fairies outside were confused as Liu Shu's presence felt as if she was about to awaken, only to feel a strange distortion and then become silent again.

Clavel asked. "Did something go wrong as Liu Shu leveled up?"

Flor shook her head. She used her system to analyze Liu Shu's basic stats and saw that just one thing was out of order. "She is okay, and nothing is wrong except one very important thing..." The Rose Fairies looked at their queen with tight expressions and suddenly heard her scream. "WHAT ARE THOSE NUMBERS, HUH!? ISN'T SHE LEVEL 4? WHY DOES SHE HAVE MORE THAN 3000 SHARDS OF EACH TERNARY ESSENCE? HER PHOER IS EVEN AT 4000! SHE HAS MORE PHOER BODY SHARDS THAN ME!"
