Farming in a Parallel World and Becoming a God-Chapter 2021 - 940: Golden Apple Treants

The situation of the Golden Apple Tree is highly similar to that of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree.

She is the true controller of the Golden Apple Tree. If the Golden Apple Tree were molded into the God of the Apple Tree, the one truly in control of divine rights would be her.

Don’t underestimate the development potential of this seemingly narrow divine position of the apple tree.

It’s not without reason that apples are on par with wheat and pumpkins.

Without considering magic, there are only two ways to obtain a large amount of sugar on the Felen Continent.

One is honey, and the other is apples.

Some fruits do contain more sugar than apples.

But their distribution range, adaptability to the natural environment, and ease of storage are what set apples apart.

Especially in the northern winter, apples are often the only fruit on the table for many ordinary families.

"The Golden Apple Tree indeed has an innate advantage, after all, the Golden Apple Garden has been a legacy in the Fairy Wilderness for over ten thousand years, and before it was lost, it was always a gathering place for the surrounding fae races.

Every year during the apple harvest season, the Golden Apple Garden would open to all kind-hearted fae to enjoy the gifts of nature together.

This has allowed the Golden Apple Garden to enjoy great fame.

If the Golden Apple Garden were to reopen and this were publicized, I believe many fae would be willing to believe."

Lord Virginia shifted the topic, saying, "But the apple divine position, this already has a master. If we do this, how would the Mother Goddess of Earth react?"

"This pertains to the extension and refinement of divine positions. If we attempt to peel away this divine position from the Mother Goddess of Earth, it will surely meet strong opposition. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

But what if from the beginning, we incorporated this matter under the name of the Mother Goddess of Earth, waving her banner?

We could focus on breeding, grafting, and standard planting aspects of the apple tree.

This can likewise be integrated into the development of my territory on the Material Plane.

When you can bring tangible benefits to those fruit farmers, they will naturally revere you."

In Felen, some deities’ divine positions are exceptionally stable and unshakable, and the Mother Goddess Shantiya is one of them.

She is one of the oldest deities in the Pantheon of Faerun, and when the Moon Goddess Suren and the Night Goddess Shar jointly created the world of Toril, they felt it was too barren and dull, and together they granted life to this land.

The first being born from it was Shantiya.

When the two creator goddesses were embroiled in endless war, it was always her silently guarding this land, driving away those who tried to lay hands on this world.

Therefore, many believers firmly claim that Shantiya is the source of all life, and the proliferation of numerous races today is all thanks to the Mother Goddess of Earth.

Although many people do not agree with this view, they still pay homage to the Mother Goddess of Earth, respectfully calling her the great mother.

What truly makes the Mother of Earth endure through the ages is her adaptability.

When the whole world was in a primeval wild state, she focused on wilderness and nature. At that time she was called Earth Mother Zhan Nas, enjoying running with animals, and delighted in the thriving of untamed nature.

Even today, the residents of the Moonshadow Archipelago still worship the entire ancient aspect of the great mother.

But in recent millennia, especially in the last few centuries, Shantiya has clearly shown more favor toward the wise beings of this world, especially humans, as her divine position began to shift towards agriculture.

She still advocates respect for nature and encourages the residents of civilized areas to restore the damage they have done to nature, but she has already ceded jurisdiction over the wilderness areas to other natural deities, such as the Natural God Sylvanus.

Her divine position has begun to focus on agriculture, human-cultivated crops, farmers, gardeners, and summer, among others.

It is difficult to say clearly whether this change in the Mother Goddess of Earth’s divine position has propelled the prosperity of agricultural farming?

Or has the explosive population growth brought about by human agricultural development influenced the shift in Shantiya’s divine position?

Or perhaps the two are complementary.

It doesn’t matter.

What matters is that if you want to develop a territory in Felen, the Mother Goddess of Earth Shantiya is unavoidable.

Gaven had long wanted to establish a connection with her but never had the right opportunity.

The Golden Apple Garden is a very good entry point.

Stelina’s beautiful face shone with an even richer golden radiance, and she hurriedly said, "When it comes to apple tree planting, our Golden Apple Garden truly has advantages that others cannot compare to."

"Oh? What advantages?" Gaven asked.

"The Golden Apple Tree saplings transplanted from the Golden Apple Garden may lose the two special attributes of Titans and the innate Divine Berry Technique.

But the size of the apples they bear and the survival rate of those saplings are still incomparable to ordinary apples.

In the past, the Golden Apple Garden has transplanted quite a few apple trees outward.

The apple trees on Spring Bud Forest Apple Ridge are all transplanted from the Apple Garden.

Although the Golden Apple Trees in other parts of the Fairy Wilderness are not as concentrated as in Apple Ridge, they are widely distributed, and their numbers are considerable.

The Golden Apple Treants that originate from our Golden Apple Garden all have a close relationship with apples and possess the trait of tending ordinary Golden Apple Trees."

Stelina’s words were filled with unmistakable pride.

This could be considered a great achievement of the Golden Apple Garden in the Fairy Wilderness.

Many gathering points or micro-villages of the fae are built on one or a small cluster of Golden Apple Trees.

Wherever they exist, they are bound to become a stable food source in the region, playing an indispensable role in maintaining ecological stability.
