Thanks Brother San!

With the immortal herbs nestled safely in my inner world, it was time to turn my attention to the precious treasures of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and the remains of the Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King.

It was a buffet of power and potential, and I couldn't wait to dig in.

But as they say, with great power comes great choices, and I had two intriguing options before me.

The first option was to absorb the energies of the well and the dragon kings directly into my roots, trunk, and branches. I

t would be like a direct infusion of power, nourishing me from within.

The benefits were clear—I'd gain incredible resistance to fire and ice, not to mention a boost in my overall vitality.

But there was a downside. It might alter my core essence too quickly, making it harder to maintain a balance.

My core's attribute was wood, if I've got fire and water attribute from this, it'll bring uncertain and abrupt changes to my whole being.

"Although, I don't foresee any issues.

If these babies can survive, I should be fine too.

However, they didn't directly absorb the remains like I want to do.

Sigh, making decisions is hard, man."

The second option was to take these treasures into my inner world.

This choice had its own set of advantages.

It would allow me to carefully study and integrate these energies over time, creating a more stable and controlled world filled with fire and water law.

Maybe there'll be volcanoes and ocean, I don't know.

Can I spew fire and throw ice after this?

I shouldn't be able to, but maybe I can control the temperature of my body and can adapt more easily in very hot or cold climates.

This would be slow changes, it would be like aging fine wine, letting the flavors meld together to perfection.

But it would take time, and I'd need to be patient.

There shouldn't be any big problem in this second choice.

Plus, I akin to god in my inner world.

If I want, I can directly refine those immortal herbs, right here and right now.

So, there should be no hiccup in bringing them into my inner world.

As I pondered my choices, I couldn't help but think about the history of this place.

The well had a rich and storied past, tied to the fallen Dragon Kings.

When the Dragon God met his end in the Divine Realm, it set off a series of events among the Nine Great Dragon Lords.

Among them, the Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King had both met their fate right here on this land.

Their massive bodies lay buried deep beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, their very essences enriching the surroundings.

The well itself had formed from the fusion of their elemental energies, creating a unique and potent environment.

It was a proof to the power that had once resided here, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe for the fallen dragon kings.

But time was ticking, and I needed to make a decision.

After some contemplation, I decided on the second option—to transport these treasures into my inner world.

It might be the slower route, but it felt like the more balanced and sustainable choice.

Besides, I had a few ideas on how to use this to my advantage.

And the immortal herbs still need the enrichments of fire and water attribute which I didn't have.

If I can find the remains of any god-level spirit beast after this, it'll help.

But I need to remember to keep my inner world in balance.

Right now, both fire and water laws will be added to the world and I've got some ideas on how to keep them in check.

'I require them to nourish my wood element; I must concentrate on a single element.

I don't want to be a jack of all trades, master of none.

Master of all?

Don't jest with me; I'm not at a level where I can nurture other attributes yet.'

Firstly, I need to secure the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

As I attempted to sense the depth of the well, I was astonished!

Beneath the well, there appeared to be an intricate and convoluted maze that stretched throughout the entire Sunset Forest.

"Damn, this complicates things a lot!

This underground lake has an incredibly complex structure!"

Now, I must figure out how to access the water rich in fire and water elements.

"Sigh, why can't this heist be easy!?"

Draining the entire underground lake would be too complicated.

Moreover, it's inhabited by aquatic creatures and fish spirit beasts.

Using my skill would be more difficult and drain more spirit energy if I didn't obtain their consent.

"I'll just focus on the part of the lake with the richest combination of fire and water elements, then."

Next, I need to pinpoint the exact location of the Dragon Kings' remains.

I extended my roots deeper into the well in an attempt to locate them.

As I delved deeper and deeper, reaching a depth of 90 kilometers into the well, I finally located them!

"Excellent! Now, I need to envelop them with my roots; the distance is too great for my skill to transport them using only my spirit energy."

But I had thought the remains of the Dragon Kings wouldn't be an issue... but they're incredibly massive!

I estimate their entire remains to be nearly 10,000 meters in length.

"Sigh, the things I do for my grade SSS fertilizers."

The entire process took a half an hour!

"Now, I need to eliminate all living creatures residing in the underground lake, but only those in the area I intend to take."

Fortunately, there weren't any formidable spirit beasts in this region.

And the one that resided here only inhabit the upper portion of the primary underground lake I plan to take.

But this seems logical given the formidable aura of the Dragon Kings.

I'm fortunate to be a world tree, as my vast vitality allows me to endure the rapidly shifting temperatures; otherwise, my roots would disintegrate rapidly!

With a deep breath, I initiated my skill, World's Bridge, once more.

'World Tree: World' Bridge!'

My skill acted like a portal to another realm, one where these treasures would find a new home.

As they began to disappear from the garden, I could sense their energies merging with mine.

It was a delicate process, like introducing two old friends who had never met before.

The well's elemental energies, the lingering essence of the Water Dragon King, and the fiery remnants of the Fire Dragon King—all of them became part of my inner world.

Inside the inner world, I could feel the energies swirling and dancing around me.

It was like a playground for those two elements, each playing its own unique roles.

I needed to study these energies, understand their properties, and find a way to harness them to enhance my own abilities.

I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement.

It was like I had unlocked a treasure trove of potential, and I was eager to explore the possibilities.

The entire integration process lasted a full month, mainly because the Dragon Kings' remains were very large.

The remains of both Dragon Kings stretched across 10,000 meters for Godking's sake!

With a satisfied smile on my bark, I looked into my inner world.

.

.

Inside my inner world, changes were beginning to manifest.

Though subtle, they were significant to me.

As I observed my sanctuary, I noticed variations in temperature.

Some areas felt warmer than others, while a gentle chill pervaded elsewhere.

It was as if my inner world was slowly but surely coming to life.

One of the most striking changes was the emergence of small bodies of water.

I couldn't yet call them oceans, but they were like pristine lakes scattered throughout my inner realm.

After the ocean formed, volcanoes should have followed shortly.

The number of these water formations was staggering, and they brought a sense of vibrancy and freshness to my world.

The synergy between my wood element and these newfound attributes, fire and water, was becoming increasingly apparent.

My wood element remained my primary focus, as it was the core of my being.

It was my essence, the source of my vitality and growth.

Now, with the infusion of water and fire, a delicate balance was forming.

The water law nurtured and invigorated my wood element, allowing it to flourish and thrive.

It was like a gentle rain, nourishing the roots of a mighty tree.

In turn, my wood element provided stability and structure to the water, preventing it from spreading unchecked.

The fire element, on the other hand, became the foundation for my world's soil.

It enriched the soil within my inner world, infusing it with vital nutrients and energy.

This was essential for the growth and vitality of my wood element.

The interplay between fire and earth created a fertile ground for my essence to expand and evolve.

As I continued to explore my inner world, I realized that I needed to find treasures infused with the Earth law.

These treasures would further enhance the connection between my fire and earth elements, creating a cycle of growth and further nurture my wood element.

But for now, I was content with the progress I had made.

My inner world was evolving, reflecting the changes within me.

It was a proof to the endless possibilities that lay ahead.

I knew that my journey was far from over, and I embraced the challenges and discoveries that awaited me.

With a sense of satisfaction, I decided to spend some time meditating within my inner world.

It was a chance to connect with the elemental energies that now coursed through me.

As I closed my eyes and allowed my consciousness to drift, I could feel the presence of the water, the warmth of the fire, and the vitality of my wood element.

In this serene moment, I reflected on the incredible journey I had undertaken since my rebirth as Verdalor, the World Tree.

I had made new friend, Yasaka, Yi Da, Ou Mige and the rest of the immortal herbs and unlocked new potential within my inner world.

As I prepared to leave my inner world and return to the physical realm, I couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude.

'Gratitude for Tang San, muahahaha!'
