My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome-Chapter 668 - 35 Departure

With the help of the little deer, colorful orbs of light were each injected into the World Tree, and in just a short period, the sapling, which had been less than twenty centimeters tall, grew explosively to over two meters in height.

The spreading branches and leaves blocked the sunlight above Shao Zifeng’s head. The lush, dripping leaves rustled in the gentle breeze, as sunlight pierced through the leaves, casting densely packed spots of light onto the grass, constantly changing shapes as the leaves swayed.

Gjestaf knelt in front of the World Tree, her hands crossed in devout prayer, surrounded by fluttering golden feathers, emanating a relaxing aura. The green luminescence in the deer’s hands faded away as it looked up at the towering World Tree, its jade-like eyes filled with delight.

Hearing the soft music in the wind, Beibei climbed up from the cloak, rubbed its eyes with little hands, and looked around. Upon spotting Shao Zifeng under the World Tree, the little one picked up the cloak from the grass, draped it over itself, and walked towards him.

The deep brown cloak dragged on the ground, bending the grass beneath it, with a little head peeking out looking extremely adorable.

Shao Zifeng looked at the World Tree’s light screen information and rubbed his chin in confusion, "Besides having grown a bit, there doesn’t seem to be any other changes, right?"

Gjestaf and the deer exchanged looks, then reached out to gently touch the trunk explaining, "The assessment criteria for the World Tree is not above ground, but the roots beneath. The growth process of a newborn World Tree involves extending its roots to every corner of the world, so despite its size, it is still in its initial stages."

"However, I believe that one day, its roots will spread to every corner of the world, becoming the true World Tree," Gjestaf spoke of the World Tree with conviction, her deep blue eyes shining with an uncommon light.

Shao Zifeng nodded, turned his head to look at the world brimming with life; the events of the past few days were crystal clear in his mind, yet felt like a dream. Before this, he had wondered whether similar ancestral spirits existed in the West. It turned out not only did they exist, they had even perished...

Ahem, that sounds somewhat disrespectful to the spirits.

Shao Zifeng was now filled with curiosity about past events, yet the more he learned, the more the truth seemed blurred. It was clear that a long time ago, the Earth must have encountered a great war, with the enemy being very powerful, capable of annihilating spirits and sealing ancestors...

But what was their purpose in doing so—looting? Invading? Destroying?

Since they had annihilated all the spirits, why did they only seal the ancestral spirits, and according to the descriptions by those ancestors, the number of ancestors in Daxia was not small, certainly no less than that of the spirits, so where did all the remaining ancestors go?

Beibei walked up behind Shao Zifeng and raised its little head, its gaze quickly attracted by the deer. It reached out and took the deer’s hand, shaking it: "Beibei~"

The deer knelt down... quietly looked at Beibei, who was even taller, then quietly stood up a bit.

It rubbed Beibei’s little head, signaling it not to disturb Shao Zifeng.

The myriad questions made Shao Zifeng’s head ache; it seemed these mysteries would have to be slowly pieced together in the future.

Seeing nothing pressing on either side, it was almost time to leave. Shao Zifeng looked at Gjestaf, "Now that things here are resolved, we should also be leaving. What are your plans now?"

"Leave." Gjestaf paused, repeating the word.

Perhaps unprepared, she appeared somewhat at a loss, seemingly unsure of how to answer his question.

Seeing her indecisive, Shao Zifeng carefully suggested, "How about leaving with us? I mean, now that the gods have fallen, the outside world holds more wondrous things, and you don’t need to confine yourself here."

Faced with Shao Zifeng’s invitation, Gjestaf was somewhat tempted. To be frank, she had a quite favorable impression of Shao Zifeng... especially his cooking, as after all, it was the first time since her memory began that someone offered her an unlimited supply of food, a deadly temptation for a food lover.

And in the outside world, wouldn’t there be even more delicacies?

Gjestaf looked at the World Tree beside her, showing a struggle in its expression, and gently caressed it with her hand.

Shao Zifeng did not rush her, quietly waiting for its decision.

The beautifully carved marble ruins were deeply buried under the grass, with gentle breezes wafting across the lush meadow, creating ripples like those on water.

The World Tree rustled, and Gjestaf, as if hearing something, pressed her ear against the trunk and listened intently. Moments later, she opened her eyes joyfully as a verdant leaf floated down from the canopy, landing in her hand.

She took the leaf and placed it on her chest, bowed slightly towards the World Tree, then turned and said softly to Shao Zifeng, "Sir, please guide me in the future."

Shao Zifeng looked at the World Tree and blinked. Was that an agreement?

...

Creak—

The piercing sound of friction broke the silence in the dim corridor as a wooden door slowly opened, revealing a spinning spatial portal below.

With a burst of intense fluctuation, Shao Zifeng was expelled from the spatial portal. Fortunately, with his previous experience, his tolerance had slightly improved, not as embarrassed as last time.

"Sir." Gjestaf quickly reached out to help, but Shao Zifeng waved her off, steadying himself against the wall while he stood up slowly.

Crack.

As he pressed his hand down, the abundant Silver Fern Grass on the wall crumbled. Using the light from the spatial portal, Shao Zifeng realized that the Silver Fern Grass here had long since dried up, leaving only a swath of withered yellow.

Shao Zifeng was silent for a moment, then said to Gjestaf, "Let’s begin."

Gjestaf nodded. She approached the spinning spatial portal and opened her hands in front of her chest, a jade-like leaf gently spinning between her palms.

Whoosh!

Four pairs of broad golden wings unfolded behind her, countless golden feathers whirling in the air like snowflakes.

Golden light burst from Gjestaf’s eyes, her golden hair wildly whipping around in the air, her pale feet slowly lifted off the ground, and the leaf in her hands rippled in rings, in harmony with the floating golden feathers, looking very holy.

The steadily spinning spatial portal vibrated intensely, its speed increasing rapidly until countless blue energies, like strands of hair, were drawn out and furiously surged towards the leaf in Gjestaf’s hands. The sturdy wooden door quickly decayed, continuously shedding white powder as it fell. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Hum!

As the spatial portal’s last trace of blue energy was extracted, the wooden door thunderously turned to dust, as if it had never existed.

(PS: Yesterday’s description of the World Tree was incorrect; it grows and produces ’mystical beings,’ not ’deities.’ Though it’s just a letter’s difference, the distinction is significant. Also, some mentioned that the character of the fawn is breaking. Beings, or rather living entities, are complex, and it is unrealistic for them to maintain a constant rationality forever. Isn’t making some affectionate minor gestures during emotional moments quite reasonable?)
