Chapter 2676: Chapter 1157: Agricultural Pantheon Conception_3

The large-scale promotion and cultivation of apples is also a brand-new attempt at the core divine position of the Lady, exploring a new model of forest development.

And applying spring water to irrigation and firefighting has always been a direction I’m striving to develop...

"My dear sister, aren’t you being a little too unsteady? Your collaboration hasn’t even officially started, and you’re already speaking on his behalf?" the Forest Lady couldn’t help but tease.

On the face of Water Spring Goddess Eidas, as clear as water jade, a trace of shy blush uncontainably rose, but her attitude was extraordinarily firm as she said, "I’m just stating facts."

"Haha... there’s no need to explain; we know what you say is true... it’s that the human heart outward... with newcomers, sisters are forgotten..." Teasing her sister had always been the Forest Goddess’s pleasure.

This time it was Gaven’s turn to help the Water Spring Goddess out, "Agriculture has never existed in isolation, especially as refined farming develops, it will form a huge system, intertwining and connecting among the divine positions.

Why doesn’t the Grain Lady take the opportunity to streamline her divine position and build her pantheon of agriculture?"

This topic was a bit grand. Even though the present were gods, they couldn’t help but fall into silence.

The involved party, Mother Earth, responded after a few seconds of silence: "The time is not yet ripe."

Seeing their reactions, Gaven realized that his suggestion was too presumptuous.

It’s not just because Mother Earth said the timing wasn’t right; it’s also because of the two differing voices among the Natural Deities.

Melikai and Eidas, although having a good relationship with Mother Earth and being allies, were not Shontia’s deities but belonged to another strong divine power—Forest Father Sylvanus.

He is like a monk from abroad, who, during the rise of the Nesserel Empire, spread his faith from the Outer Realm to the Felen Continent along with a massive influx of plane immigrants, arriving with already strong divine power.

His divine domain almost overlaps with Mother Earth’s.

If it were other gods, the two gods would have long been at full war, fighting to the death for their faith.

But both are Natural Deities, especially since Mother Earth, as the Creator of All Things in Felen, has an unbelievably broad mind. Compared to war, she chose tolerance, accepting Sylvanus, and their relationship has always been harmonious.

It was from that time that Mother Earth’s focus of faith began to shift; she started paying more attention to the agricultural development of Felen Continent’s sage beings, gradually ceding the wilderness nature to Sylvanus.

The Forest Father also reciprocated; although he also had divine positions related to agriculture and farmers, he never developed in that direction. His concern for trees far exceeded that for sage beings.

He is a maintainer of the path of nature’s unity and balance, unbiased towards any Natural Force—whether representing the benevolent Natural Gods or the destructive Gods of Fury like Talos.

Though evidence is lacking, much of the destructive behavior of the Gods of Fury was a result of the Forest Father’s beneficial indulgence, aimed at controlling the progress of world civilization, preventing a population explosion of sage beings.

It’s said this is the Forest Father’s learned experience; when civilization rapidly develops, and its population explosively grows, the decline of nature is inevitable, as much progress comes at nature’s expense.

And agriculture is the foundation that accelerates civilization and population booms.

Once Mother Earth unequivocally promotes an agricultural pantheon, pushing agricultural development across the continent, even without a fallout with the Forest Father, their relationship would deteriorate. Supporting the Gods of Fury in using natural disasters to hinder agricultural progress wouldn’t be impossible.

Because in the eyes of the Forest Father, at that time, Mother Earth would be the destroyer of nature balance.

Seeing the atmosphere become heavy, Gaven deftly changed the topic, "Not every area in the Marching Mountains is suitable for the reproduction and growth of apple trees. I plan to massively introduce this perennial herbaceous plant from the Far East to those low-lying, stuffy places."

He took a piece of bamboo out of his Portable Dimensional Bag and handed it to the Forest Lady, saying, "This plant, whether in terms of sprawling speed or growth speed, is extremely fast, especially fond of hot and humid environments. Once buried, it can grow into a thicket by next year.

It can replace most of the functions of trees.

Since in the development process of sage beings, trees are indispensable.

So actively seeking replacements for them, as long as needs are met, their exploitation of forests will naturally decrease significantly."

Although Gaven didn’t explicitly say it, the implication was obvious, asking the Forest Lady to help promote this plant from the Far East.

She had already demonstrated her abilities in this aspect with action, and if she were willing to provide help, it wouldn’t take many years for bamboo groves to be seen in forests across Felen.

But this time, the Forest Lady appeared much more indifferent, handing the bamboo over to the Half-goat Goddess Cialia, saying, "This matter is entrusted to you."

The reason for Melikai’s significant difference in attitude towards apple trees and bamboo still lies in the divine position.

Although she is called the Forest Goddess, her core divine position is not the forest; that’s the Forest Father’s domain.

Melikai’s core divine position is forest creatures, she is the Goddess and Queen of the creatures dwelling in the forest, her concern for forest life surpasses that for trees.

This is why she is called the daughter of Sylvanus, as the forest nurtures her and her creatures.

In reality, they have no blood relationship; on the contrary, they are competitors.
