"Tsk tsk..."
Yu Ziyu looked deeply at the starry gleam in the tree roots where Qing'er was sleeping and clicked his tongue.
He wasn't sure about many things, but one thing was certain:
A "monster" combining the strengths of both heterodox beings and humans was about to be born.
Others might not know, but how could he not?
Besides her two great talents—the fire elemental talent and the mental talent—this girl also enjoyed massive human resources support.
On his side, Yu Ziyu had granted her abundant life essence and used his roots to nurture her soul.
Just thinking about this made Yu Ziyu's scalp tingle.
Not to mention, this girl truly possessed a vast amount of resources now.
If she couldn't rise up with all this, then probably no human could.
"Fortunately, I have evolution points as my golden finger. Otherwise, given time, it might really be hard to suppress you."
He sighed with amazement at the opportunities Qing'er had.
This kind of opportunity was definitely a protagonist's template—most people wouldn't be able to overcome it.
Now, Qing'er was nourishing her soul on his roots, and they had effectively formed a pact.
Symbiosis?
No—more precisely, it was a form of coexistence.
Qing'er needed to rely on his existence; without Yu Ziyu, she wouldn't exist.
Because of this, Yu Ziyu was confident that she was under his control.
Moreover, fundamentally, there was no conflict of interest between them.
One was a spirit, the other a tree.
One intangible, one tangible—but both exceptional beings.
In this age of transcendence, their meeting was already a great fate.
Supporting each other was destined.
From this perspective, Yu Ziyu wholeheartedly treated this girl as a trusted confidante to nurture.
And now, Qing'er had not disappointed him.
Given time, she would surely become his right hand.
With these thoughts, Yu Ziyu's gaze toward Qing'er softened by three degrees.
Snap
Accompanied by a branch snapping, a drop of dense life essence slowly fell onto the starry glow on the roots.
What Yu Ziyu did not notice at that moment was that when the life essence touched the glow, deep inside, the sleeping girl's lips curved into a faint smile.
"Ma...ster."
With a hint of longing, Qing'er sank into deeper sleep.
...
Time passed swiftly, and winter arrived. Snowflakes drifted through the deep mountains.
Between heaven and earth was a white expanse, the snow fluttering from the sky. Around them, it was like a white canopy had been drawn; the land was covered in silver.
Yet amidst this silver-covered world, a dense mist lingered, swirling over the mountains.
This was not the scary part—what was truly terrifying was that the mist covered hundreds of mountain ranges.
From the sky, looking down, the mist stretched from northeast to southwest over more than a hundred kilometers long and thirty to forty kilometers wide, all shrouded in a hazy white fog.
Every few hundred meters stood a mountain peak—hundreds of kilometers and hundreds of peaks was no exaggeration.
Fortunately, the fog had only spread through the mountains and had not reached the cities.
Otherwise, the human army wouldn't just be stationed on the outskirts, staying alert.
There would be real gunfire, even artillery bombardment.
But honestly, would humans' proud artillery have any effect on this seemingly living fog?
Yu Ziyu smiled strangely, deep within the fog.
Months had passed.
During this time, Yu Ziyu had done little.
Besides maintaining the fog's spread, he had been using the evolution points gathered from hunting the "pets" he raised to continuously strengthen himself.
For months, hundreds, even thousands of evolution points, Yu Ziyu spent on strengthening his myriad branches.
The consumption was truly frightening.
But compared to the cost, the gains were worth it.
Looking now toward the Beiyu Canyon, one could see a broad green waterfall dozens of meters wide descending from the sky.
"It looks like the Milky Way falling from the heavens."
That's exactly what it resembled.
This was the result of Yu Ziyu's strengthened myriad branches.
Each branch was level 2.
Just one branch's combat power was enough to strangle ordinary Level 7, 8, or even 9 mutated beasts.
And now, Yu Ziyu had over a hundred such branches.
Imagine hundreds of branches striking together—what a terrifying scene that would be.
Heaven shattered? Earth split?
Even more shocking was that Yu Ziyu's branch extension now reached about 100 meters.
That meant within a radius of 100 meters around him, the area was his domain.
"Phew..."
Exhaling deeply, Yu Ziyu finally felt a true sense of power.
According to human spiritual power peak standards, his peak was at least seventy to eighty thousand.
If such terrifying spiritual power belonged to a mutated beast...
Yu Ziyu guessed that beast could destroy a county in half a day.
Of course, as a willow tree, Yu Ziyu didn't have that capability.
But any beast with a spiritual power peak around seventy to eighty thousand entering his hundred-meter domain would not survive till tomorrow.
That was Yu Ziyu's confidence.
Invincible in close-range combat at the same level.
To put it arrogantly,
"Within this close range, I am invincible."
Anyone daring to offend his presence within a hundred meters either hasn't been born or has become a corpse.
Chuckling, Yu Ziyu's confidence swelled noticeably.
