Chapter 509 - Divine Nature Spark

The Divine Root crushed under the colossal claws of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree was hardly recognizable now, submerged by the rotting substance that had disintegrated from itself. The giant claw seemed to step into a decayed mire, where monsters would occasionally emerge, letting out unwilling roars, struggling to escape before quickly being submerged again.Staring at it for a long time was definitely a visual challenge.

Fortunately, there was no need to suffer the assault on the sense of smell, as a deep green protective shield kept it isolated.

This isolation was all-encompassing, not just above ground but also beneath, to prevent the escape of the seeping Corruption Divinity.

Even for the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, the volume of the Divine Root was considerable, and to consume it entirely was not a task that could be completed in a mere ten days or half a month.

The transformation process of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree would also be the process of digesting the Divine Root.

Gaven had just returned to the Dragon Oak Mother Tree when he was once again dragged into the control room of the Dragon Oak by Lord Virginia.

Seeing the other party’s expression, Gaven couldn’t help but laugh, "What’s the good news this time that you’re so eager to share with me?"

"How do you know I have good news?" Curiosity filled Virginia’s bright eyes.

"How long has it been since you looked in the mirror? Take a look and see for yourself what you look like now." Gaven waved his hand, and a floor-length mirror appeared in front of Lord Virginia.

Lord Virginia couldn’t help but scrutinize her beautiful reflection in the mirror, feeling a sense of unfamiliarity.

It wasn’t just an illusion caused by staring too long at her image, but her appearance had undergone subtle changes that drastically altered her aura.

Her original visage leaned towards gentle and nurturing, silent as the dew, but now she had an air of commanding presence, especially when she frowned.

Beyond that, there was also a sense of dreamy unreality, slightly hazy and surreal.

But at this moment, her lips curved slightly, her eyes sparkled with excitement, like a little girl who just got candy, eager to share it with someone close to her. No wonder Gaven guessed her thoughts at first glance.

Lord Virginia involuntarily adjusted her expression in the mirror, trying to look more serious, but every time her gaze landed on Gaven, she couldn’t help returning to her prior excited state. After several tries, she was bound to fail.

Lord Virginia immediately played the victim, "This is all your fault, there are some things that I can’t tell anyone else except for you."

"Alright, alright, blame me, blame me. Now tell me, what’s the good news? You seem so happy," Gaven wisely refrained from reasoning with Lord Virginia, as spoiling the mood was something only a blunt and insensitive man would do.

"I’ve got something great to show you!" Lord Virginia waved her hand, and the surrounding emerald life force retreated, revealing a center point that seemed like a dreamy light. The size and substance of this point were uncertain, at first glance it appeared to be the size of a grain of rice, but upon closer inspection, it seemed as large as a baby’s fist, and the next second it was down to the size of a peanut kernel.

From that light, Gaven felt a bizarre barrage of images, like a hodgepodge of strange visions, a multitude of odd ideas, and images flooding his mind. They weren’t real, but rather long-forgotten dreams from his past.

Without the suppression of the emerald life force, the light point began to tremble violently, seemingly trying to flee. However, numerous green energy lines emerged, binding it like vine ropes, firmly anchoring it in place.

Gaven said in shock, "Divine Nature? Can’t be the Dream Divinity, right?"

Lord Virginia affirmed his guess, "Exactly. It spontaneously emerged from the Dragon Oak Dream Realm, and it actually attempted to run away, but I managed to bind it.

"Intercepting Divine Nature, you’re quite bold. It’s good that Toril doesn’t have any True Gods closely related to dreams, and the only one closely related, the Illusion Goddess Laila, was murdered last year by the God of Conspiracy, Shylock. Otherwise, you wouldn’t just fail to intercept it, you could even provoke the wrath of a True God. However, this matter is best kept from all True Gods, including others," Gaven took a deep breath and seriously warned, "Because this isn’t just a bit of Dream Divinity, it’s a ’Divine Nature Spark’!"

Possessing Divine Nature and intercepting it are completely different concepts.

The former isn’t uncommon among mortals, for instance, Divine Nature is certainly present in Divine Artifacts, and also in some divine beings, which is often related to the grace and blessings of Deities.

The Undead Divinity possessed by Weizemay Manor, and the Corruption Divinity present in the Divine Root now trapped under the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, both fall under the category of possessing Divine Nature. These mostly involve weakened Evil Gods who lack the power to reclaim it, and other True Gods have difficulty sensing it and rarely intervene unless it pertains to their own divine responsibilities, because such Divine Nature is useless to them as it would conflict with their own fundamental nature. When it comes to merging Divine Nature, mortals hold a distinct advantage. The source of this content ɪs N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.nᴇt

"A Divine Nature Spark?" Lord Virginia’s eyes widened in disbelief.
