God Tree

Another 3 Years Later, Planet Deria

Another three years have passed like a flowing river as the God Tree would be blooming at any given time. It has already reached the highest stage of its growth it could possibly reach and Yakou could sense that it would be blooming at any given time.

When it bloomed, it would give birth to a Chakra Fruit, either it would give birth to several Low-Grade Chakra Fruits numbering at least fifteen, considering the size of a planet and the Tiers of corpses they used for the germination.

Or it would give birth to one or two High-Grade Chakra Fruits if they are lucky.

Unfortunately for Yakou, during the past three years, he didn't move with his comprehension of the Dao of Dust, which was still stuck at the Embryotic Form of Profound Mystery Level... this was undoubtedly frustrating for him.

Nonetheless, he knew there was nothing he could do about it aside from being patient.

He knew that he would need a few more decades until he comprehended the Dao of Dust to the Profound Mystery Level from its Embryotic Form.

Apparently, achieving the state of enlightenment like before was much harder than it seemed and previously, it was just a piece of luck.

Today as usual, Yakou was sitting and meditating under the God Tree, as he suddenly felt the Nature Energy started shifting from the Leylines towards the God Tree and then the density of the Nature Energy in the air was decreasing at a rapid pace.

This was a sign of the God Tree blooming as it was absorbing all of the Nature Energy from the planet. After it bloomed, it would condense the Chakra Fruit and the planet would be devoid of any life for upcoming centuries.

After a few centuries, the Ōtsutsuki Clan may come here once again to plant the God Tree...

This was possible only on the High-Level Planets and Super High-Level Planets because those were much stronger and could withstand the God Tree to a certain degree.

For ordinary worlds, it would completely destroy their Leylines, rendering them death worlds, only useful for mining ores and metal and other materials.

Soon enough, he sensed several bloody red fruits appearing on the top of the God Tree, which had fully bloomed. Instantly, Yakou went into action as he executed the technique and took control of the God Tree.

"Seven-Paths Technique: God Tree Control!"

His Senrinjōnegan shined brightly as a beam of chakra shot from his third eye towards the God Tree, essentially binding himself to the God Tree, which was right now under his absolute control.

Seven-Paths Technique: God Tree Control Technique was a crucial hidden technique that allowed Ōtsutsuki to fully control the God Tree like it was an extension of his own will. This technique of the Seven Paths was only taught to the Main Family members.

For the Branch Clansmen, they were taught a simplified skill for the God Tree Manipulation, which would give them way lesser control over the God Tree.

There were even a few cases when the Branch Clasnmen were killed due to weak willpower when they attempted to control the God Tree.

"Now, with the God Tree, the planet Deria could be considered fully under our control and we can move onto another one."

Yakou muttered as he would get 1,000 Contribution Points for this mission as he brought this planet into the fold of the Ōtsutsuki Clan. Ordinary Planets were worth around 100 Contribution Points at max; High-Level Planets were worth something between 500 Contribution Points to several thousand.

Depending on their precise conditions and environment.

And Super High-Level Planets were worth above 5,000 Contribution Points.

Though the destruction of Commander Automaton would fetch him another few hundred of Contribution Points and he would soon have more than 10,000, which should be enough to exchange for some precious treasures...

Coupled with his status, he could get his hands on some good things.

"Now we need to wait until the fruits are ripe a few months before harvesting them... and then the Clan can send someone to take over."

Probably a few members from the Branch Clan would come and work on the planet Deria, as there were tens of thousands of them, but that was for what the foot soldiers existed in the first place.

Due to limitations placed on them, all Branch Clasmen could maximally reach only Tier 3 if they didn't undergo the Ancestral Awakening and became Ascended Members of the Main Family, where their limitations would increase up to Tier 4 maximally.

Yakou said as he looked at the God Tree, seeing that Kirihara was meditating under the God Tree while two werewolves went somewhere to train because, for them, it was already boring in this place.

Though not for Juraki, as he was a far more patient person, but his Lord, Muzaka was making much more trouble with his impatient nature.

The two members of the Werewolf Tribe were training together on one of the continents where they didn't need to care about the collateral damage. In those places they could fight however they wished because fighting in the vicinity of the God Tree was unacceptable.

There was the possibility of injuring the God Tree and as even the slightest injury to the God Tree would provide a great setback, Yakou sent two of them as far as possible from the God Tree if they wished to spar.

As he closed his eyes, he suddenly noticed that Kirihara was walking towards him with a smirk on her face, probably delighted from successfully planting and germinating God Tree on the planet Deria.

"It seems that the mission has been a success..."

Kirihara said as she sat down next to Yakou, who nodded in agreement as he observed his fainceé, who gracefully sat down.

"Yes, we now only need to wait until the Fruits are bloomed and we can harvest them before reporting to the Administration Bureau of the Clan and either take the next mission or return back home."

Like him, Kirihara was keen on going on a few more missions. As she was already more than seven hundred years old and preparing to break through to the Saint Realm, she was saving up Contribution Points.

That was because she wanted to exchange for some good things that could aid her in reaching the Saint Realm and also after she reached the Saint Realm, she could enhance her strength several times.

"Last time I was surfing through the reports from the Unknown Regions, I noticed that there was an increased presence of Divine Energy sensed in certain planets... The Clan even issued some missions to investigate it. I am thinking of going over to take a look; even if the Gods sent someone to cause chaos here, it wouldn't be probably anyone stronger than Lesser God."

Yakou then proposed as he thought over something and his fianceé agreed with him because she wanted some kind of revenge on Gods as she suffered a loss at the hands of Jashin last time.
