Ascension of the Sylvan Cosmos

Chapter 190. Preparations.

Liu Shu looked at the people standing at the base of her body with a confused gaze. They were all people who knew her real identity, so she didn't bother hiding her voice and asked aloud. "Um... What's wrong?"

Flor looked up and asked. "Explain."

"Huh? Explain what?"

Hearing Liu Shu's honest confusion, Flor rubbed her temples and asked. "What do you mean that you want to Level Up four or five times? Do you not understand how crazy this sounds?"

Liu Shu looked at her Accumulated Experience Points and said. "Well, I recently gained a lot of Experience Points, so I want to use them to Level Up. I was balancing whether it would be best to Tier Up my skills, but after pondering for a while, I decided that Leveling Up was better for now. The higher my level, the more Experience Points I gain, so if I Level Up first and then accumulate Experience, I will be able to Level Up everything else quicker."

Tempestria asked, curious. "How many Accumulated Experience Points do you have?"

Liu Shu answered happily. "158,485!"

Everyone listening almost choked with their own saliva. Terra asked, incredulous. "Wait, 150 thousand Experience Points is only enough to Level you up four or five times?"

"Yes! It is very nice, isn't it?" Liu Shu's happy answer made them doubt themselves. If that amount of Experience Points were to be invested in any of them, it would probably be able to Level them eight or nine times.

Ignatia asked the important question. "What will happen while you Level Up? I can guess that everything will Level Up with you, and the changes will be tremendous, right? Are you ready to go public as a World Tree just two months after being hidden as a Life Tree?"

Everyone paused and considered. However, Liu Shu answered differently than they expected. "Why do I have to reveal myself? I can keep myself hidden during the Level Up. Also, as I increase my levels, my skills will strengthen, my camouflage included."

The World Tree said soothingly. "And about the town's change, just be honest."

Verdantia asked, confused. "Liu'er, how do you want us to be honest?"

Liu Shu laughed. "While you all have hidden that I am a World Tree, you have not really tried to make me look like a weak Life Tree. My auras, the houses, the terrain, the energy density... Everything is quite telling that I am anything but ordinary. You just need to warn everyone that I have completed a <Sylvan Quest> thanks to all of them and tell them that the <Golden Sap Town> will go through a significant change."

Everyone was stunned on the spot, feeling that they had been slightly close-minded. What Liu Shu said was the truth. They had hidden her as a Life Tree, but they never made people think that she was an ordinary one.

Some people might doubt Liu Shu's origin or whether she was a Life Tree. Yet, they would find nothing. After all, if they hadn't discovered her real self until now, they would never do so after Liu Shu became stronger.

Still, the Sylvans, Flor, and Ignatia felt conflicted.

Cinderielle looked at the giant tree and sighed. 'Tiantian is advancing so quickly. I am already at Level 16, but will she overcome me now? We had a lot of Level advantage, but it took just three years for her to pass us.'

Verdantia frowned deeply, thinking similarly. 'I need something to gain Experience Points quicker. I am eating Liu'er's berries and even going to hunt in nearby forests from time to time. Moreover, compared to other people in my class at Fortuna Academy, I am several levels ahead. Yet, it is not fast enough.'
