Chapter 2077: Chapter 1638: Should We Add Some Increment?

Negris watched as each matured Fire God Bamboo was chopped down and then inserted into the earth like stakes, serving as support structures, and couldn’t help but sigh.

What was once a good thing, now just a footing material.

Durken also found it both amusing and helpless; when he first saw the Fire God Bamboo, he was extremely excited, but watching the vast fire bamboo forest planted by Little Bone, he became indifferent and began to vaguely feel a headache.

He had already chopped down over a thousand Fire God Bamboo, intending to turn them into Fire Magic Wands, but producing over a thousand—when would he finish?

Even though Fire Magic Wand relies on the Fire God Bamboo itself, he still needs to do a lot of processing work. He must first soak the bamboo in Fire Element for a long time so the element thoroughly penetrates the bamboo’s interior, and then carbonize its surface with a high temperature over three thousand degrees.

This way, when casting Fire Element Magic, the bamboo won’t burn.

He also has to drill holes, enchant them, engrave magic patterns, and embed fire element crystals or gemstones at both ends.

Also, he needs to wrap the handle with something heat-resistant; otherwise, when casting spells, the entire wand would heat up and blister the wizard’s hands.

The best heat-resistant material is naturally Fire Lizard Skin, but where can he find Fire Lizard Skin now?

The finest Star Flame can be casually dug up, but Fire Lizard Skin needs to be searched for—looking for a thousand sheets, just thinking about it hurts the brain.

So after cutting a thousand Fire God Bamboo, the remaining ones Durken abandoned, thinking they could just do what they wished; although they were called Fire God Bamboo, they were still herbaceous plants, growing in large patches.

Previously, they were rare in the Fire Abyss due to insufficient Fire Element, but now the environment is suitable, so they are abundant.

Thus Little Bone transplanted them to the surface, and the matured Fire God Bamboo can already withstand the temperature of the earth’s crust.

By adjusting its rhizomes to grow downward, it will naturally extend to the surface and spread in all directions.

Soon, large expanses of Fire God Bamboo forests appeared on the surface of the God Star.

As the bamboo forest grew, the World Tree serving as the platform no longer needed to expand, allowing a large amount of Life Force to be provided to the God of Life.

Thus the God of Life began to thrive.

The God of Life is now using the Ten Thousand Realms Divine Tree Seedling provided by Little Sapling, which is beyond its original World Tree by two levels.

The God of Life has no experience growing as a Ten Thousand Realms Divine Tree and needs Little Sapling to teach it on-site.

Rooting, sprouting, strengthening roots, absorbing Star Flame, transforming Star Flame—the God of Life is growing anew. Everything is unfamiliar. Despite Little Sapling’s teaching, specific details need to be explored slowly.

"Old Tree, Old Tree, stretch out and extend on the ground, then everyone can live on you," Negris advised the God of Life.

This used the growth plan from the Ten Thousand Realms Divine Tree on Morania, Negris thought this growth method was quite good, lying flat on the ground usually. Later, even if the earth’s crust is opened, those living on the tree won’t be directly burned by Star Flame.

"Oh..." The God of Life readily accepted the advice.

After all, it had never been a Ten Thousand Realms Divine Tree before, everything was in exploration, having the precedent from the former tree’s experience was naturally the best.

Fifty billion Star Descendants began a new life on the Abyssal Big Mouth, but soon everyone discovered a problem—there was no ability to procreate.

"Uh, Lord Anthony, how do Star Descendants procreate the next generation?" Copper Hammer asked shyly.

Before Anthony could respond, Negris curiously asked, "At your age, you still want kids?"

Copper Hammer said embarrassedly, "It’s not impossible. Having more would be better, as the number of Dwarves is indeed too few."

Anthony said, "All Star Descendants are children of the God Star. The simplest way to have children is to ’fish’."

"Fish?" Copper Hammer looked confused.

"Yes, the God Star sometimes nurtures some Star Descendants—you fish them up, take them home to raise, and then teach them to transform into the form of Dwarves, which can expand your dwarf tribe."

Copper Hammer said awkwardly, "Fishing up children... doesn’t seem right."

"Don’t want to fish? Then reincarnate back as a dwarf and give birth yourself," Anthony said.

Copper Hammer went back and pondered for a long time, then approached Anthony again: "Lord Anthony, could you reincarnate some dwarves? Let them have children, and once the children grow old, we can convert them into Star Descendants—is that okay?"

Anthony didn’t answer immediately, because he wasn’t sure if it was possible, the issue was quite complex.

"How complex?" Negris was puzzled when pulled into Consciousness Space. "Is it difficult? It’s not, right? Have Ange extract their consciousness and stuff it into an empty White Crystal, wouldn’t that work?"

Ursman said, "Lord Anthony is referring to a different complexity—creating a life consumes the God Star’s increment. Lifecycle, living, aging, dying, and then returning to the God Star, completing a cycle."

This cycle reduces the God Star’s increment consumption. If the deceased life cannot return to the God Star, the cycle can’t be completed—will this accelerate the God Star’s lifespan consumption?

Anthony nodded, indeed concerned about this, though he hadn’t intended to find an answer from Negris. The main purpose of discussing in Consciousness Space was for Ange to hear, so after analyzing the problem, he looked at Ange.

Ange nodded, "Can, worship, have increment."

Negris translated, "You mean, if everyone sincerely worships the God Star, it can be converted into increment to compensate for this part of the loss."

Ange nodded.

Ursman continued, "We can also seal the God Star, letting only some light and heat leak out—to support ordinary life’s reproduction and survival—thereby greatly reducing the God Star’s consumption."

Anthony also said, "Since we plan to nurture some living dwarves, why not just restore some humans, goblins, and other lives to diversify species?"

Ursman said, "That would be best, but species diversity implies diversity in habitat. The God Star’s surface temperature is too high, perhaps migrate them to other planes?"

"Migrating to other planes, what about sunlight? If the crust needs to be opened, wouldn’t it waste a lot of increments and heat again?" Negris asked.

Migrating is to reduce consumption, but migration requires opening the crust to let sunlight and heat reach the planes, increasing consumption, making it counterproductive.

Ange said, "Use, Ancient Godlight’s, gaze."

When the God Star of the Chaos Plane exploded, the Master Plane and various Abyss Dimensions essentially had no light, all sunlight was projected through Ancient Godlight’s gaze.

Negris slapped his waist: "Great idea, this consumes the least."

After the discussion, everyone went to execute action; there’s no need to restore Life Species, just migrate some people out of the Dimensional Space of the Gray Divine Star.

Coincidentally, the population there was saturated, migrating half out would just free up living space.

"Places like the Gray Divine Star’s Dimensional Space are the best model. Such a small God Star can actually support a hundred billion people. Unfortunately, there’s no increment." Talking about this, Negris turned to Ange and said:

"Without an increment, you can’t nurture life. We migrate half the population out; what about the population there? Should we provide it with some increment?"
