Chapter 2680: Chapter 1159: When One Ascends, All Rise

"Indeed, there is one." Kellysha said, somewhat troubled, "Golia is manageable; I can negotiate with those tribal chieftains. However, the nature spirits are too scattered, and their temperament is excessively carefree and mischievous.

Bringing them together is truly no easy task."

"These Fae Races’ nature is indeed a big problem." Gaven nodded in agreement, "How about this, I’ll find you an old friend to assist, she has the most experience in this aspect, Stelina!"

As the call was made, golden light suddenly appeared. Even before she arrived, a rich apple fragrance filled the air, and another half-Dwarves Elf emerged from within.

"What is this..." Kellysha looked at Stelina with disbelief.

The aura emanating from her was all too familiar, having recently felt it on Gaven and the Berserk Blue Bear; it was the unique pressure of a Demigod, although slightly weak and incomplete, it undeniably existed.

Gaven becoming a god, she could accept, as he had shown signs of it a long time ago, and his series of achievements matched it.

But Stelina becoming a god, she found hard to accept.

Her memories of Stelina were still on the path of conquest, fighting side by side. How had she also become a god in a year’s absence?

Since when did becoming a god become such an easy thing?

"Sister Kellysha, long time no see." Stelina seemed to see through Kellysha’s thoughts and responded with a smile, "Thanks to the help of the Lord, not only did I reclaim my former homeland, but he even developed an unprecedented divine path for me, assigning me the duty of apple cultivation promotion.

Not long ago, I also received a blessing from Mother Earth and the Forest Lady, enabling me to plant the Marching Mountains, reborn from the ashes, with apple seeds. In the years to come, I will reside here to fill the Marching Mountains with apple trees.

This matter also requires the great assistance of you and your people, Sister Kellysha."

The scene of them fighting side by side in Mesnoel yesterday seemed still fresh. Their similar origins made them both friends and foes, regarded as competitors.

Now it seems rather laughably clumsy.

In different states, they pursue different things.

"Indeed, it is the Lord’s credit." Kellysha looked at Gaven, clearly with a new layer of something not there before.

Her own ascent to godhood may have some incentive effect, but how much more motivating is it to enable one’s subordinates to become gods?

How many lives dream of an opportunity they cannot attain?

Will such a chance also fall upon her?

"Have Stelina assist in gathering those Fae, allowing them to help manage the seedlings of the Marching Mountains. The mountain modifications can be gradual, but ensure the survival rate of these seedlings. If needed in the future, we will have a ready supply for large-scale transplanting from here."

Gaven sensitively detected the change in Kellysha’s mindset. It seems Stelina will be an excellent promotional divine artifact, illustrating practically what is meant by "one person attaining the Way, all things rise."

Currently, he is only a Demigod, yet capable of crafting a Demigod. What if he acquires even greater power?

Using it externally, it could attract those strong ones with ideas to voluntarily come to serve him.

Internally, it would greatly enhance the loyalty of his subordinates, potentially even elevating their goals of striving.

However, in doing so, it essentially becomes a fusion of church and state.

He held no bias against such a fusion, especially when he leads it.

After all, under the blessing of faith, his decrees would be easier to implement effectively.

The Strategy Priests of Lady Strategy have already proven this with their actions.

"Leave it to me." Stelina said confidently, patting her firm chest, "The Fae’s nature is indeed lax; if you have them perform repetitive labor, problems would inevitably arise.

But if you let them care for tree seedlings or orphaned young, they will be devoted, mostly doing so spontaneously, for it is in their nature.

What we need to do now is fully exploit their compassionate nature."

"It seems entrusting this to you is a wise choice." Gaven acknowledged Stelina’s suggestion.

She is inherently a Yaling General, always dealing with these Fae, and now cloaked in the halo of the Natural Deities, she holds a greater advantage over the Natural Races.

The Fae are a typically subjective race, assessing matters more by preference and feeling than by logic.

Gaven understood this deeply; since receiving the Dragon Oak Mother Tree’s blessing, whether in the Fairy Wilderness or the Material Plane, all Fae Races were particularly close to him.

Often, they appeared on their own.

Otherwise, finding their traces would be quite difficult.

"I am merely doing what I am capable of." Stelina responded humbly.

"Speaking of nurturing seedlings, there is a place in Mesnoel that can now be opened to you." Gaven suddenly remembered something.

By the calculation, the first batch of seedlings planted there should be nearing maturity.

Above the Tower of Dominion, three beams of light descended, enveloping them, and as the scene before them shifted, they found themselves in a vast underground cavern.

It was not dim here; behind them was a huge Crystal Ball, emitting a soft glow like a miniature sun.

Below lay a lush green expanse, covered with short and sturdy trees.
