Chapter 116: Chapter 94: Triple Enlightenment
Besides, this evolution wouldn’t affect the creature’s original racial attributes. Instead, it was more like an enhanced version of the original species. Therefore, the Plant People’s transformations wouldn’t be hindered. In fact, thanks to the additional attributes, their offense and defense would be massively boosted.
If the "Giant Plant" continuously merged with others of its kind, under exponential growth, its final power would become ridiculously immense!
The only catch was that if the plant’s growth rate exceeded that of the territory, and the majority of its body ended up outside the domain, it would turn into a wild monster.
This might not be an issue for Lin Yu. Thanks to the World Tree, his territory was constantly expanding. The only question was which would grow faster: the "Giant Plant" or the World Tree.
The "Super-Charge" effect was simple and risk-free. It just required continuously transferring power between defensive plants to finally unleash the ability. This would solve the problem of his defensive plants’ insufficient attack power in one fell swoop.
The only prerequisite was a large number of defensive plants, but that wasn’t an issue for Lin Yu. His territory was teeming with them, especially since unlocking the ability to plant them as structures, which had significantly sped up their deployment.
These three traits put Lin Yu in a difficult position. He wanted all of them. ’What should I do...’
Lin Yu didn’t deliberate for long. The main reason was that his "Luck Burst" was already more than halfway over. If he took too long, by the time he got to using "Enlightenment" on the World Tree, the luck buff might be gone. It would be a disaster if he didn’t get any good traits then.
After weighing his options, Lin Yu ultimately chose [Plant Person]. ’If they become denizens, they’ll likely be stronger in the long run,’ he reasoned. ’Besides, I’ve been looking for ways to improve the overall quality of my denizens. If the defensive plants become Plant People, they’ll naturally be able to enjoy the same benefits as everyone else.’
Furthermore, he could let them manage the Landscaping Bureau, a division of the Urban Planning Department, themselves. This would be like letting the Plant People cultivate their own next generation. They would surely take the task to heart.
Next, Lin Yu was about to use Enlightenment on the World Tree.
In a flash of insight, he remembered another treasure he hadn’t used—the Refresher Orb.
A "Refresher Orb" allowed skills to be used again.
’What would happen if I used it on the defensive plants’ [Plant Person] trait again?’
A wild idea suddenly struck him.
At this thought, Lin Yu immediately took out a Refresher Orb and used it on the defensive plants’ trait selection.
[Would you like to select a trait again?] The system prompt made him ecstatic.
"Yes!"
Lin Yu thought to himself, ’Ha! It actually works. Worst case, I’ll just have to pick the "Plant Person" trait again.’
The trait selection interface appeared before Lin Yu again. The three options were the same as before, but "Plant Person" was now unselectable. Lin Yu cautiously checked the defensive plants’ attributes; the "Plant Person" talent was still there.
"Holy crap, I’m a goddamn genius!!!"
Lin Yu roared, leaping up from his seat.
This startled Lin Chenxi, who was standing nearby. "My Lord, did something happen?"
"It’s nothing. I just discovered a brand-new use for the Refresher Orb. Hahahaha!"
Lin Yu couldn’t help but roar with laughter.
Then, without a moment’s hesitation, he chose the "Giant Plant" trait.
The drawback of "Giant Plant" was that if a defensive plant grew too large, with most of its body outside the territory, it would no longer be under the territory’s control and would turn into a wild, aggressive plant.
But with the "Plant Person" trait, things were different. Before the plant could grow massive—even beyond the territory’s borders—it would have already absorbed a great deal of Spiritual Energy. This energy would first transform it into a Plant Person.
Once it became a Plant Person, it would naturally learn the "Sun and Moon Breathing Technique" and the "Star Technique," allowing it to freely control the rate at which it absorbed Spiritual Energy.
Besides, once it became a Plant Person, who cared if it grew outside the territory’s borders?
It was still a denizen of the territory; it wouldn’t just randomly turn into some unwanted wild plant.
After making his selection, Lin Yu eagerly checked the attributes of his territory’s defensive plants.
In the talent section, sure enough, the two traits "Plant Person" and "Giant Plant" had appeared.
Then, he immediately used a second Refresher Orb on the defensive plants’ trait selection.
[Sorry, the designated target cannot be refreshed!]
The system’s notification made Lin Yu freeze for a second, which also served to calm him down.
’It can’t be refreshed a second time?’
Lin Yu tried again and confirmed that the trait selection could not be refreshed a second time.
This discovery, however, made him feel incredibly fortunate. Having calmed down, he remembered that he still hadn’t used Enlightenment on the World Tree.
’Thank goodness, thank goodness. I almost forgot about the World Tree. Now I can pick two traits for it. I nearly took a massive loss.’
’Thank god it can only be refreshed once!!!’
Next, Lin Yu closed his eyes and, filled with anticipation, used Enlightenment on the World Tree.
Three traits appeared before his eyes.
-----------------
[World Vein Branches]: The World Tree has absorbed the power of space. Some of its branches now possess the ability to connect to other worlds.
Causes a World Vein Branch leading to another world to grow ahead of schedule.
Once the World Vein Branch matures, it can connect to another world (dimension).
-----------------
[Inner Space]: The World Tree has absorbed the power of space. The area it covers now forms a self-contained domain.
