After the fight, and while Liu Shu slept, the surroundings began healing themselves. Because the World Tree was connected with everything around her, her healing affected every structure, land, and plant life connected with her.
The places where her branches had left enormous holes were filled with new patches of dirt, mud, and vegetation.
Then, the extra houses where the low-level Void Witherwood resided stayed untouched, with their insides filled with the dead bodies that <Mind Echo> created.
Flor sat in front of the burnt tree, looking at it with rapt attention. She wanted to feel the faint echoes of life inside of it to reassure herself that she was still alive. Ignatia looked up at the creaking burnt wood and said. "She will be alright, Flor. I know it hurts, but you need to focus on your recovery. Thanks to your new title, you are slowly regrowing your arm, leg, and wings, right?"
Flor muttered. "Ignatia. How can I become stronger? When I got the upgraded title, I honestly expected to at least Tier Up once, but I didn't. I am still E Rank and Level 14."
Ignatia leaned down and picked Flor up between her arms. Her tone was gentle and soothing. "Flor. Just be by her side. Your potential has skyrocketed thanks to that skill, so I am sure you'll have chances in the future to increase your Level, Tier, and much more." The Ant Queen lovingly poked the fairy's little nose. "Moreover, you are now much more clever, right?"
Flor touched her nose and felt her face heat up slightly. Now that her wisdom and intelligence had increased, she could more or less understand Ignatia's actions, which previously were quite a mystery.
Ignatia laughed. "Be patient. You have many years to live."
Flor nodded obediently. "Mhm."
Ignatia smiled and leaned down to give a quick kiss on her forehead. "Now. Let's go and take things from the vault. We need to feed you quite a few Phoer Berries and use our reserves until Liu Shu begins producing fruits again."
Ignatia walked away while cradling a shy Flor in her arms.
Meanwhile, Liu Shu's mind was awake in her unconsciousness. She could still think, but she was cut off from the outside as she focused all her energy on healing.
Her regeneration speed was usually 3500 Phoer Body Shards per hour. Nevertheless, the wounds were too harsh and damaging for that regeneration to work perfectly. Hence, the World Tree calculated that she would need around 5 to 6 days to recover fully.
The thing she wanted to check was her experience points. After Ranking Up all her F+ Rank skills to E- Rank, she had 1,955 remaining experience.
Then, Her final kill count was as such: 189 Level 7s, 241 Level 8s, 354 Level 9s, 22 Level 10s, 28 Level 11s, 12 Level 12, 15 Level 13, 10 Level 14, 13 Level 15, 24 Level 16, 17 Level 17, 4 Level 18, 3 Level 19, and 1 Level 20.
With an average E- Tier for Level 10 and above and F+ for Level 9 and below, she earned an enormous 18,683 Experience Points.
Liu Shu looked at her Accumulated Experience points and muttered. 'I have 20,638 Accumulated Experience Points... So, I can Level Up again, right?'
The World Tree paused and thought of what happened. 'That scroll was dangerous.'
She could swear that if she hadn't exploded that enormous fireball mid-way, she might've died or entered a highly weakened state.
For a World Tree like her to die, her inner core needed to be damaged beyond repair. This core was safely kept below the ground level and inside her body.
