Chapter 1997: Gathering
'Garden Protector...an apt divinity for my Thorny.'
Ajax planted the Monster Vine in the Divine Inner World to make it a Garden Protector.
Now, he coincidentally awakened a similar Divinity, making Ajax filled with mixed emotions. "It's like having a guardian spirit for my garden," Ajax said, his lips curving into a grin. "But not just a protector-it's also an enhancer. With this, all the plants in the Divine Inner World could become a perfect haven for nurturing rare Divine Plants."
Right now, compared to the protection from the Monster Vine, the nurturing effect would be of great help to him.
Thus, he was extremely satisfied with this Divinity of the Monster Vine.
'As long as I help it evolve into a Divine Monster Vine, these two abilities will become even more powerful. L looks like I should give my first preference to Thorny when I have enough Divine Grade Fruits.'
Among all the Quasi-Divine Plants in his Divine Inner World, Ajax believed that Thorny had every right to become the first one to evolve into the Divine Plant.
'Now, it is time to use Thorny's abilities.'
Since he had fully checked everything about the Monster Vine, Ajax decided to practically use those abilities.
'Thorny, I will try using your sub vine outside the Divine Inner World.'
First, Ajax wanted to see whether he could bring a living subvine out of the Divine Inner World.
'Swiish'
Ajax pickled a sub vine that was close to the main vine and slashed it after informing Thorny who willingly suggested picking that sub vine.
'Wriggle...wriggle'
Even after cutting, the sub vine was full of life force and wriggled.
What's more, it is even more around Ajax just like Viny.
'Looks like it is going to work.'
Earlier, Ajax didn't have high hopes for his plans; however, seeing how lively that sub vine was even after separating from the Main Vine, he became a little excited.
'Swoosh'
Soon after, Ajax didn't waste any time as he directly left the Divine Inner World and appeared in front of Siora.
'Swiish'
However, just as Ajax appeared, the sub vine that was moving around his body like a snake, turned into dust.
'Looks like I was overestimating the ability of the sub vines.'
Seeing the reality, Ajax shook his head and bitterly smiled.
'Is it because the Main Vine and Sub Vine are no longer in the same world?'
Although he realized that his plan was not going to work, Ajax was curious about the reason why it wouldn't work and thus, he thought about it for some time.
'Let's try this and see whether I will find out anything.'
Ajax got a few ideas which he quickly tried after re-entering the Divine Inner World and came to some conclusion.
'There are three sub vines that could be separated from the Main Vine for spearing around the world; however, these lively sub vines can't go more than one kilometre away from the Main Vine.'
Of course, if they were connected to the Main Vine, they could continue to extend their length, given that the main vine continuously provides enough energy for these sub vines.
'Anyway, I don't think I can bring it out of the Divine Inner World until it evolves into a Divine Plant.'
In the end, Ajax came to this conclusion and gave up on his plan to bring Thorny out of the Divine Inner World.
'Thorny, use 100 million units of Divine Essence of Nature to create as many sub vines as possible.'
Next, Ajax started working on the Monster Vine's first ability.
'Swoosh'
'Swoosh'
The Divine Essence of Nature in the Divine Inner World was rapidly absorbed by the Monster Vine as new sub vines were continuously created at an incredible speed.
Within a few minutes, 100 million units of the Divine Essence of Nature were devoured and thousands of sub vines were created.
Each one of these sub vines has the strength of the low-level Emperor Realm. When all the sub vines and main vine attack, even a High-level Emperor Realm Cultivator might die if he is
careless.
'Devour them and increase your strength.'
Ajax didn't supply more Divine Essence of Nature to the Monster Vine despite having quite an excess reserves; instead, he ordered Thorny to devour the sub vines it created.
'Hiss~'
Unlike Viny, Thorny didn't awaken the Spiritual Communication. So, he still couldn't communicate with it properly; however, Thorny would follow his orders without any
difficulty.
After hissing at Ajax in response to his order, the Main Vine of the Thorny started devouring
the sub vines.
However, the speed at which it was devouring the sub vines was quite slow.
'Actually, its devouring speed is not slow; instead, it didn't have the Efficient Devourer Ability like Viny; however, it doesn't matter.'
Ajax didn't think too much about it as he let Thorny devour its sub vines at its own pace ton/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
increase its strength.
'While it devours the sub vines, I will go out and wait for my subordinates and summons along with the Beast Tides.'
Ajax didn't stay in the Divine Inner World and quietly left.
"Raweth, Snow and Father?"
The moment he exited the Divine Inner World, Ajax saw Aron and others arrive.
"We are here to choose the Celestial Pillar to guard. Are you going to give us any benefits for protecting the Celestial Pillar?"
Aron was in a good mood today as he jokingly asked for a bonus for choosing to protect Ajax's
Celestial Pillar.
"I can give you Giant Crystals."
Among the things Ajax had, Giant Crystals were extremely useful for Aron and thus, Ajax said that he would give them.
Of course, Ajax knew that his father was joking; however, he decided to act alone. So, he acted generous, making Aron chuckle a little.
"It looks like Father has encountered something good for him to be in such a good mood."
Before Aron could say anything, Ajax guessed, "Don't tell me, you got an inheritance from
some Ancient Cultivator in this realm."
"How did you know?"
