Chapter 68: Chapter 68 Eternal Life Giant Banyan
Chapter 68 -68 Eternal Life Giant Banyan
“What a pity…”
Even with the nightly support of soup and water, Bai Yi still couldn’t gather the 1000 points of magic power required for fusion gigantification by nightfall.
However, the infinite multiplication had already successfully fused.
For Bai Yi, the most noticeable improvement was that the fruit yield from the tree increased by one each day after fusing the gene.
Not using the remaining magic power would be a waste, so Bai Yi decided to use it all for a round of growth acceleration on the giant banyan.
With the boost from infinite multiplication, even less than a thousand magic could spur significant growth in the giant banyan.
To put it in the most straightforward terms, the giant banyan had risen from lv.25 to lv.26.
And this was just growth achieved using magic!

Waking up early the next day with her magic fully replenished, Bai Yi eagerly ran outside the tree hole.
Today was the day for fusion gigantification!
Judging by the experience of the Potato Mine, the height of the giant banyan could at least double or triple!
“Hopefully it won’t damage the buildings in the territory when the time comes…”
“But with the giant banyan taking care of it personally, it should be fine.
If all else fails, I can control it myself and avert some losses…”
Calling over the six Zhan Yi who were busy with their own tasks and having them hide on one side to ensure there wouldn’t be any damage around the giant tree, Bai Yi pressed her hand against the trunk.
*She silently thought to herself,*
“Giant banyan, oh giant banyan, are you ready…”
The response to Bai Yi came as two roots gently wrapped around her calves, affectionately caressing to express their trust.
“Well then, here we go!”
[The current gene matches well with the target, fusion will consume 1000 points of magic power, proceed with fusion?]
[Gene fusion complete, congratulations on creating a new species: Unnamed (2nd Rank/Gold)]
It turned out Bai Yi’s worries were justified.
The giant banyan, which was already nearly 20 meters tall, expanded like a balloon under the effect of gigantification, growing to nearly 40 meters high before it stopped.
Bai Yi immediately connected to the tree network and took control of the giant banyan.
This was how she learned that this was not the limit of the giant banyan.
It was only because of the hard conditions required for growth, namely the lack of nutrients and magic, that the giant banyan reached only its present height.
In fact, even the magic consumed in this fusion was not enough to bring the giant banyan to its current height.
The giant banyan had consumed the magic dispersed in the air within the territory.
This had made a significant area nearby almost a magic vacuum, madly drawing magic from farther away.
However, the high-speed growth period brought by gene fusion had passed, so even if magic was replenished afterward, it couldn’t grow as quickly as it did just now.
Hmm, with sufficient magic, growing five or six meters a day should be absolutely no problem.
With infinite multiplication, the results truly defied logic.
Besides the growth in height, the trunk had also thickened more than a circle, and the buildings originally built beside the giant banyan were naturally affected.
However, under Bai Yi’s deliberate control, the distance from both the giant banyan altar and the Poison Blood Beetle Insect Nest was adjusted by the roots.
The former was held up by the roots and hung on the trunk, while the latter was carried by tree vines, successfully moving the nest onto the tree.
Bai Yi estimated that at its current 2nd rank, with full leveling, the giant banyan’s ultimate height should be able to reach around a hundred meters.
By then, much of the territory’s buildings would probably need to be relocated.
The insect nest could be hung directly on branches, but workshops like the blacksmith shop would require further considerations.
“Maybe, I could find a way to create more tree holes or build treehouses?”
*With her mind vaguely planning, Bai Yi’s consciousness returned to her body, but she saw two new notifications on the panel.*
[Due to significant changes in your territory, the name of your territory has changed, current name: ???]
[Note: Due to unknown reasons, the current naming was terminated, current name: Eternal Life Giant Banyan]
“What is this…”
After the initial surprise faded, Bai Yi quickly understood what it meant.
*Influencing this kind of game process could only mean a particular entity had intervened.*
But the question was, who was it?
*Could the “Eternal Life” Giant Banyan be related to the “Longevity” entity encountered last time?*
*And why?*
But to directly ask was something Bai Yi dared not do, even if it might elicit a response.
*Forcing herself to interrupt her thoughts, Bai Yi focused her attention back on the giant banyan.*
“Since you now not only have consciousness but have grown so large, you also need a name.
Eternal Life Giant Banyan, giant tree, how about calling it the World Tree?
Yuktrahill? No, that’s too long, let’s just call it You?”
The hanging branches of the giant banyan swayed joyfully, and feeling the cheerful consciousness of the giant banyan, the name was thus decided.
After affectionately interacting with the giant banyan’s vines for a while, Bai Yi began carefully observing the changes in the giant banyan.
After fusion gigantification, the most evident change for Bai Yi was that the tree hole had expanded considerably.
Moreover, the entrance was no longer close to the ground, but elevated to about the height of a single story, similar to the Clear Spring Altar behind the tree hole.
Layers of tangled roots at the entrance formed a wide staircase, extending to the ground below.
Inside the tree hole, Bai Yi took the opportunity to make some renovations, leaving two half-person-high openings on the cave wall.
It was a bit of a squeeze for humans, but they served well enough as windows.
The original tree hole had been quite enclosed, leaving the air somewhat stagnant.
Now with two additional ventilating windows, one of which Bai Yi had specially wrapped with a vine to direct water from the Clear Spring Altar inside.
*Having been in this world for nearly two weeks, Bai Yi finally had the leisure to make some minor improvements to her living conditions.*
*Though just small details, still far from truly comfortable living, Bai Yi was nonetheless very happy.*
“The next batch of food is almost ready for harvest, and the matter with the Corpse King’s transaction should be scheduled soon.
He mentioned last time that they have some craftsmen, maybe we could have him repay with some furniture?
*Let me think, what should I acquire…*”
…
In the north of the territory, atop a small mountain,
an orange cat lay lazily on an exposed rock, casting a nonchalant glance at the monkey beside.
“Meow~” (Didn’t expect you to be so quick~)
The monkey shrugged, but didn’t bicker with the orange cat.
Yesterday’s drama was merely for show; in reality, he and the orange cat were quite close.
Pretending to be at odds was just to maintain the illusion of the Four Great Beast Kings ruling independently in front of the Bird and the Snake.
“Are those humans?”
The monkey squinted, his gaze reaching the group of six humans huddled around the giant banyan from afar.
“Meow oh meow woo~” (Seems they’re quite close with the Tree King too~)
“We should definitely confirm this; if the Tree King truly has a relationship with these humans, we can’t act rashly against them.
Otherwise, if we offend the Tree King, it wouldn’t be worth it.”
“Meow?” (Why are you looking at me?)
The orange cat met the monkey’s direct gaze, to which the latter simply said:
“Weren’t you once a human pet? You’re the most familiar with humans, you should go.”
“Meow meow! Meow oh!” (And you used to be a zoo monkey! Plus, you enjoyed studying humans so much, why not you?)
The orange cat instinctively retorted but soon found itself pondering.
If it was just about approaching humans, indeed, it was the most suitable candidate.
Its mutation wasn’t in size, but in the superpower side, thus it maintained the standard size of an orange cat, appearing harmless to humans.
At most it’s a bit chubby, but still within normal limits, and it’s even within some humans’ preference zone because of it.
Being such a cute and clever cat, earning the trust of humans should be a breeze, no?
With that in mind, the orange cat declared:
“Meow oh, meow meow meow~” (I’m open to going, but we must have another meeting, I’m not going for free!)
“Alright, there’s no time to delay, I’ll gather them right now.”
