My Weekly Refreshing Mentor Spirit-Chapter 401 - 317: Birth of the Insect-devouring Tree (Part 4)

Xue Dili held the Seed of the World in his hand, then said to the other members of the Interstellar Corps assisting him, "Let’s begin."

In an instant, his spirit connected with the Seed of the World. It was the final existence left behind by the World Consciousness, and an essential condition for Xue Dili to awaken Him.

If everything went according to plan, the Magic Power originally converging on the Divine Tree should gather on this Seed of the World, allowing the World Consciousness to return.

But at this moment, Xue Dili decisively utilized the power of the world.

In an instant, his soul no longer resided within his body, seeming to envelop the entire world. Yet Xue Dili remained calm, as this was a normal phenomenon, equivalent to becoming a world consciousness of temporary rank.

If he maintained this state for a long time, his personality would indeed be overwhelmed and devoured by the information of the World Consciousness, but for now, he only needed a few minutes.

The members of the Interstellar Corps also began to assist, and a massive seal started to appear on the Divine Tree, which offered no resistance and let itself be uprooted as if it were a well-behaved child.

In the "World Consciousness" mode, Xue Dili grabbed the seal around the Divine Tree, opened his body, stuffed the Divine Tree inside, secured the structure, and adjusted the seal so it wouldn’t harm his soul.

At that exact moment, in the Consciousness Space that had only recently been restored, a giant tree appeared, covering the sky and the sun. Its presence seemed to expand the entire Subspace by half, with roots deeply embedded into the Consciousness Space. Under the tree, the Magic Academy that Xue Dili and Old Green had built together seemed particularly small.

"The plan is going smoothly! Success." At this point, having usurped the world’s status, Xue Dili finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It even went smoother than sealing the Divine Tree last time; this time, the tree was directly inserted into the Consciousness Space, seemingly coexisting with Xue Dili himself.

Meanwhile, in this state, Xue Dili could actually sense a faint feeling of joy being conveyed by the Divine Tree.

He wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but Xue Dili had the impression that this Divine Tree was beginning to develop consciousness. Beyond its simple awareness of "bugs, tasty," it also displayed an affection and attachment towards Xue Dili.

However, overall, it posed no harm.

This is what Xue Dili thought as the Insect-devouring Tree firmly rooted itself in the Consciousness Space and perfectly merged with Xue Dili’s soul.

This seal was also well-preserved, at least ensuring that if the Insect-devouring Tree encountered any issues, Xue Dili could expel it in the quickest time possible or exile it directly into the void.

After completing this step, Xue Dili finally held a fruit resembling a Golden Sacred Beetle in his hand.

This was a fruit borne from the Insect-devouring Tree, a culmination of energy after consuming billions of insects.

Yet, this fruit had also mutated, resembling an oversized beetle from the outside. He could sense the souls of billions of insect swarms and the Magic Power they had absorbed from the world inside it. If he consumed it, he could instantly elevate his power from nearly Tier Four to Tier Five.

To become the true Thirteenth Apostle!

However, Xue Dili ultimately had no such intention.

He loathed the Apostles, and likewise, he detested the fruit of the Divine Tree.

Even though it arose from absorbing insect swarms, the presence of billions of souls within the fruit made him feel nauseous. Although he knew that consuming the fruit would allow him to instantly refine those souls into the purest energy.

And the World Consciousness of this planet would also struggle to awaken, possibly requiring countless years before gradually recovering vitality.

So, he decided to give this fruit to the World Consciousness, as 90% of the energy within it was essentially drawn from the world’s ley lines.

Without hesitation, Xue Dili fed the fruit to the Seed of the World.

In the next moment, the World Consciousness awoke, breaking free from that brief state of suspended animation, and finally recovered. In an instant, He took over the authority of the world and learned through information about everything the world had undergone during His suspended animation.

Then, He looked at Xue Dili with a complex expression. At that moment, the original figure resembling a noble lady who had submitted to an enemy seemed completely fallen, He seemed to have finally let go of everything, and wrapped Xue Dili completely in an instant.

"What, what are you doing!" Xue Dili was on alert; things had suddenly gone completely beyond the plan.

"I’m giving my everything to the one I love most and leaving you with the most precious treasure."
