CHAPTER 1338: CHAPTER 712: MELIKAI’S GRAND GESTURE_3

This position of honor is not given lightly but holds a profound meaning of its own.

She has designated Gaven as the Guide and Pathfinder of Tree Branch, intrigued by his earlier eloquent discourse on harmonious development. She wishes to see if he can truly uphold and realize what he has proclaimed.

If his words align with his actions and he genuinely brings about a transformative change for this realm, he might indeed ascend to become either the Great Druid or High Priest of Tree Branch, with countless followers of the Forest Queen stepping forward to follow his lead.

For Gaven, this represents an immensely advantageous directive. It signifies that countless followers of the Forest Queen and Druids will willingly come to him, providing an opportunity for many of his natural agriculture ideas to come to fruition.

Although he previously received assistance from the Fae Race Druids, their unreliable natures and differing needs resulted in a lack of alignment. Those Druids born from intelligent beings, especially humans, are his ideal collaborators.

Lord Virginia, being positioned as the pioneer of Rangers, resonates with Gaven’s earlier mention of his plan to cultivate the Dragon Oak Mother Tree into a War Giant Tree. As vanguards of purging darkness, Rangers represent the Forest Queen’s most formidable offensive force. If many Rangers respond to the call and join the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, their offensive and defensive capabilities will be greatly enhanced.

The spirit of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree possesses inherent advantages in fulfilling the Ranger’s role.

Of course, all of this is provisional.

If Gaven and Lord Virginia’s actions blatantly contradict their promises, they might not only be stripped of their bestowed honor but also be labeled as deceivers of the True Gods. Even if the Forest Queen does not pursue accountability, their reputations as untrustworthy before all gods would make regaining trust a formidable challenge in the future.

"Milady, I have a small personal issue—might I trouble you to help resolve it?" Seeing the oracle nearing its end and the Forest Lady’s divine incarnation beginning to dim as it prepared to fade into the void, Gaven promptly spoke up.

These True Gods come and go without a trace. When they feel that they’ve communicated what they needed to, they unilaterally cut the exchange. Mortal courtesies do not apply to them, as they have numerous matters to attend to.

The shadow of the Forest Lady paused, and she inquired, "What is the issue? Speak."

"It’s like this—I have purified and enlightened five Treants. They possess a unique fusion ability important to my combat strategy. However, carrying them with me is quite inconvenient. I’m seeking a method to summon them at will." Gaven originally intended to seek a solution from Radanaxi but now found himself presenting the issue to a mightier authority face-to-face.

"Oh? Treants with such an ability? Bring them to me. Let me have a look." Melikai, intrigued, had never encountered Treants with such capabilities before.

"I’ve also rescued one Tree Spirit-Treant from under Moando’s forces. Their condition is equally unique—should I bring them along as well?" Gaven, following a sudden thought, brought up another member of his retinue.

"A Tree Spirit-Treant? You mean to say, a Tree Spirit coexisting with a Treant?" This time, the Tree Spirit Queen Radanaxi’s interest was piqued.

The reasons were obvious. If a Tree Spirit were to coexist symbiotically with a Treant, not only would their safety be enhanced, but the Tree Spirit would gain increased mobility.

"More accurately, we enlightened a tree harboring a Tree Spirit into a Treant. If separated, neither would remain whole. Specific details will become evident once you see them in person, Your Majesty." Gaven briefly explained.

"Then bring them over together." The Forest Queen responded with a smile.

With the assistance of Lord Virginia and Queen Radanaxi, transporting one Tree Spirit and six Treants required minimal effort.

In contrast, the transported Tree Spirit and six Treants, unaware of the circumstances, appeared confused. Especially Tree Spirit Lola, who immediately fell to her knees, speechless with excitement.

After all, this was the Forest Queen—the guardian deity of Tree Spirits. Never did Lola imagine she’d have the privilege of seeing her divine visage in person.

Five-Willow appeared far more wooden, their inherent Intelligence always being their shortcoming. They merely stood as stately as five guards behind Gaven, entirely indifferent to the Forest Queen.

"Interesting. Incredibly interesting. A single vessel with dual souls, coexisting symbiotically. A Tree Spirit merged seamlessly with a Treant.

In their case, it’s entirely reversed. With an initially incomplete consciousness, five distinct entities must integrate, coexisting in unity. It’s not a matter of shared origins but rather a single being with multifaceted expressions. Thus, their fusion forms a singular, whole entity.

They don’t fully belong to natural trees either and can harness Negative Energy. Unprecedented. Truly fascinating.

Mr. Gaven, have you never considered walking the Druid’s Path?

If you are inclined, I can shatter and reconstruct your professional system with Divine Power, allowing you to reselect your profession. I assure you, within two years, you will become a Legendary Druid."

The Forest Queen circled the Tree Spirit and five Treants once before fully discerning their nature.

Yet her curiosity extended more toward their creator, Gaven. During the brief wait, she intentionally spent some effort to inspect this young man and found herself underestimating him slightly.

Melikai wasn’t astonished by Gaven’s achievements in Felen. She was an ancient Intermediate Divine Power whose lifespan far exceeded most forests. Over the years, she had seen countless geniuses, and Gaven’s feats didn’t rank extraordinarily high.

What truly astonished her was Gaven’s unwavering dedication to enlightening Treants. Despite possessing the Enlightenment Spell for less than a year, the number of trees and Treants he had enlightened far exceeded what most Druids could achieve in their lifetimes.

Most Druids engaged in tree enlightenment under external obligations, unlike Gaven, who pursued it proactively while formulating his own theoretical framework during the process.

Regarding this set of enlightenment theories, she found herself unable to raise objections, as it aligned with the conditions of most Treants. Even if not entirely precise, it still provided significant guidance for enlightening Treants.

He was practically the perfect exemplar among her followers, stirring her desire to nurture his potential. She vowed to expend her Divine Nature Force to reshuffle a mortal’s professional system, paving a new path for him.
