Chương 818: Liu Shu's First Relocation. 170th Birthday.

170th Birthday.

Liu Shu felt that time was flowing quicker and quicker. What previously felt like a year now felt like a few months. It was a notable difference, and sometimes, hours would've passed when she paused in a daze. From her perspective, today was her 170th birthday. Or, better put, her birthday since she became a World Tree. Before that, Liu Shu had lived for a few years as a Level 0 sapling tree. Thinking back, her memory of those days was… fuzzy.

She didn't know whether it was because her intelligence was extremely limited back then, or because the memories from back then were just too fleeting to remember.

"Still… 170 years." Liu Shu chuckled as she scanned the area where the celebrations were ongoing. After her bloodline had spread quite widely, Liu Shu only invited her direct children on this day and some close friends like Elyne. Among them, there was one person who had been living quietly and calmly. He even built a family with one of his previous subordinates. He was Orwen, the thorny plant-wolfkin envoy that came with Elyne and the others. The first person to fight her after she became a True World Tree.

In a way, Orwen and Liu Shu had that special connection. It was quite funny. Now, the man had become much calmer, and he was working as a military adjustant and also a Dungeon diver. His level, having reached Level 180, was significant enough to allow him to live an easy life. She was currently controlling her Avatar to speak with everyone, and outside, the celebrations were ongoing. Liu Shu's birthday was a public matter, not spread purposely, but through accidental leaks from her children.

After all, when they were young, they might've spoken to their teachers that today was their Mother's birthday. This juicy information spread like an uncontrolled epidemic, and for quite a long time, everyone has known Liu Shu's birthday date. So, even when the government didn't make it a special day, it was impossible not to celebrate. Liu Shu's current identity was, to summarize it, the local deity. Her status had long transcended, and those living in the Golden Sap Empire looked up at her as a divine being.

One of the main reasons? Liu Shu's height. From Level 150 to Level 200, Liu Shu soared from 250, 000 meters to 3, 000, 000. This growth sprout was becoming exponential, and her Level Ups after Level 200 only strengthened that fact. So, what was her current height at Level 230? Well, it had doubled. 5, 856, 113 meters to be exact. Now, forget moon-sized; her current size was equal to many rocky worlds, and compared to Ceperet, Liu Shu was almost half its size.

As a result, Liu Shu focused on and completed one of her biggest projects—a small relocation. Liu Shu, after 170 years of life, had finally moved from being attached to her birthplace and attached herself to the core as a spatial coordinate. This change was made for one reason. Imagine a ball, and now stick a thick log half its diameter onto its size with glue. Then, spin the ball. What would that look like? Yep, Liu Shu didn't want to look like a spinning tree attached to a ball.

While her weight didn't affect the rotation of the planet, since her true form was in her <Realm>, her illusory form would become quite a… comedic sight from afar. Of course, once she did that, Liu Shu disappeared from sight. Her form was now invisible and would remain as such until she became larger than Ceperet, which was around 13, 000 kilometers in diameter, or 13, 000, 000 meters. For Liu Shu, it didn't bother her much.

If there was something that she missed a bit, it was her ability to look at the world with her true eyes. Now hidden inside Ceperet, opening her own eyes would only show a reddish world of magma. Nothing else. Of course, Liu Shu still had <World Tree Eye> and her natural "root sight," which most, if not all, trees had. So, keeping her eyes closed returned her sight to "normal," so to speak. Her true eyes were only useful to sightsee, so to speak.

"I am truly becoming more and more… deity-like." Now, she was truly the divine being that resided at the center of the world and blessed the world with her presence. In almost everything but power, Liu Shu was a god.

"I lack a bit of strength though, haha." From fantasy novels, other religions, and texts she had read, Liu Shu realized that many people took God as an omnipotent being that created everything.

"In a way, the system is the closest thing to a God, isn't it?" The sheer quantity of cultures she had learned about through the information she learned from the Covenant and Nexus's databases was varied to the point that mentioning them would take hours. The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

"Yet… World Trees remain as one of the preferred worship targets." It was normal. Just the sight of a True World Tree, a being that dwarfed everything yet was alive, was enough to make most beings feel a sense of awe. In a way, compared to all other creatures, even counting the incredible space beasts, World Trees were truly divine in a way. Roots that stretched between the stars, powers that could appear in distances as large as several light years, influence and blessings that affected trillions…

In everything but power, a World Tree was similar to a growing deity.

"I wonder what the highest-leveled World Tree is like?" As she pondered those things, Liu Shu felt a small commotion through her avatar at her birthday party. Looking over, she laughed a little. Seraphina was currently glaring daggers at Obsidianis. Around three years ago, Obsidianis actually took a big step in their relationship, and since then, she and Liu Shu had been doing almost everything except the last step.

Their relationship was the point at which Liu Shu was tempted to already create a plant baby through mouth fertilization. Liu Shu didn't know, but the percentage of the petals for Obsidanis was currently at 89%. Meanwhile, the petal for Seraphina was at 69%, basically the maximum before physical relationships developed. There had been quite a few times during their dates that Liu Shu had wanted to take the initiative with Seraphina.

Still, as sweet as that temptation was, Liu Shu wanted Seraphina to find courage and push her down.

"W-What did you just say, Obsidianis!?" Seraphina's dark voice made other nearby people flinch. Meanwhile, Obsidianis couldn't help but feel a bit awkward. She was a bit tipsy after drinking fermented sap with alcoholic qualities. So, in her stupor, she leaned on Liu Shu and whined that she wanted to kiss her again. The word "again" was the problem. Seraphina caught on to it, and it was then that she realized that the Darkness Sylvan had overtaken her.

Liu Shu was now trapped between Seraphina and Obsidianis, both 190 centimeters tall, and squeezed her head between their breasts.

'Kya, they are really tall!' Honestly, she was not scared, only quite excited.

'With this, Seraphina will push me down as well, right?' She could honestly hardly wait. Seraphina was a righteous-looking woman with a slender body that could be described as a "female hero" of fantasy. So, thinking of such a person pushing her down made Liu Shu quite… excited.

'I really want to taste her holy sword. OwO.' Obsidianis coughed.

"Well, what did you expect? You are the weird one for holding back for so long." Seraphina gnashed her teeth, looking a tad betrayed.

"I thought you'd tell me so that we both could advance at once!" Obsidianis felt a tad guilty. It wasn't that she didn't know Seraphina's thoughts. However… looking down at the voluptuous, short beauty, she complained.

'How can you resist her beauty, either way? I am not the strange one, you are for having such strong willpower!' Of course, if she said that, Seraphina might truly draw her sword and hack at her neck. So, she smiled.

"How about… after the birthday, you have some alone time with Liu Shu?" Liu Shu's amethyst eyes sparkled, looking at Seraphina as she craned her neck. Honestly, her Sylvan lovers were truly too tall! For reference, the top of Liu Shu's head reached only Seraphina's collarbone. So, if she looked ahead, Liu Shu's sight would only be Seraphina's twin mountains. Now that she was much more mature, she realized why her Avatar was so short.

It was Liu Shu's desire to be "below" her lovers, which had been ant-sized until then. Of course, her lovers had picked up on it, and when having sexy times, they… handled her quite freely. Liu Shu's cheeks blushed faintly, and it was at that moment that Seraphina looked down. Seeing that seductive face looking up at her, Seraphina barely held herself from having flowers bloom in her hair. She quickly looked away, or she would be advertising that she had a terribly stiff hard-on to everyone.

Liu Shu, glancing at everything with her true sight, noticed Seraphina's excitement, and her eyes glowed with expectation. That expectation was naturally transmitted to Liu Shu, making the girl somewhat restless. After those words, the event resumed, and everything moved on rapidly. As they all left, the children couldn't help but give Seraphina and Obsidianis a curious look.

'What kind of sister will be born from them?' Male alraune species like Farlunes were incredibly rare, so there was a high chance that the children from these two were females. As for what species, everyone was curious. Speaking of children, Liu Shu, a firm advocate against any kind of pregnancy prevention, continued her cycle of popping out babies every few months. So, her Alraune children had reached an astounding 283 during this time.

This stupidly ridiculous number had left almost everyone awed at her unmatched fertility. It felt as if every shot was a 100% accuracy shot! It was to the point that some of the biology-focused children wanted to conduct tests on their mother. With over 280 babies, over 290 counting the Sylvans, there was naturally plenty of variety in work paths among her children.

Moreover, unlike when Dewna and the first few children were born, now the education system was a mature institution, and Liu Shu's blessings were several times more numerous. Therefore, even some Alraunes, who were slightly inferior in intelligence to other humanoid species, worked in research-related roles. After everyone left, Liu Shu and Seraphina were left alone. Liu Shu blinked and looked up at the slightly colored Seraphina.

The woman, who always looked heroic and confident, was not fidgeting like a shy girl, and her hair was slowly but surely blooming with flowers. Such a change in personality almost made Liu Shu let out a sound.

'How can someone be so attractive?' Clearing her throat, Liu Shu decided to take the lead for a moment.

'Not for long, probably…' Knowing the nature of all her Sylvan lovers, Liu Shu was expectant of when Seraphina's restraint would be broken and arouse that beast all her lovers hid deep within. Her mouth unconsciously salivated.
