My daughters were getting addicted to the sweet sap's flavor, so I quickly decided to bring them down so they would stop trying to drink everything like crazy. So I had to forcefully drag them out and quickly decided to leave the spring as it was. It didn't had endless sap either, and it was a precious resource and ingredient I wanted to use to make new Divine Potions. But for that we cannot just drink it all. Seriously, the two looked like adorable kittens drinking milk from a big plate, but I had to put a stop to it. Especially because too much sugar might be bad for their health, or minds, as it already had Kate all dizzy, despite being a spirit. I suppose that because the sap is divine and magical, it even affect pseudo spirits like her.
Also Benladann and Miranda were dead worried so they were already flying up to the top of the tree looking for us, so I ended finding them in the middle of the sky while descending, and quickly brought them down with me.
"J-Just what happened? A second you put a branch in the floor and the other, it grew into a giant tree! Just look at that thing! It's so big its blocking the mountains behind…" Benladann said. "Is Benladra and Kate alright?"
"Awawwaaahhh… Sweeet…"
"Sweeew…"
Benladra and Kate were dizzy, as if both had just consumed catnip or something.
"They ended drinking too much of the tree sap, which is overly sweet and filled with essence, I think they're dizzy due to that." I sighed while waving my head. "But they should recover after resting for a bit."
"O-Okay… To think this tree is making sap already…" Sighed Benladann. "I can't help but think we got something that we can barely handle in our hands now."
"I agree…" Said Miranda. "This thing… can we even maintain it?"
"I-I mean, it is so big it probably doesn't need much care." I sighed.
"T-This is the first time I see a Lesser Yggdrasil Tree grow inside a Divine Realm and so fast out of a mere branch! I-I have to tell the Venerable!" Belle said, quickly disappearing into a pink-colored dream portal.
"Did she just went to tell the venerable? Can't she keep secrets?!" Asked Benladann angrily.
"I am sure it is for the best the venerable knows more than us in this regard, so she could give us some insights." I said while shrugging.
And while we discussed, Fuyu suddenly teleported behind me in her beautiful rainbow slime body, which had become the "Divine Realm Spirit" of the Divine Realm, which is like an administrator. While the rest of her first body turned into the Divine Realm itself, which has an outer appearance of a giant invisible ice castle that can fly and probably shoot lasers.
"I am here… What just happened? I was busy trying to plant more ice plants in the peak of the mountains and suddenly this giant tree pop up out of thin air?!" Fuyu asked in shock. "Drake, you owe me a few explanations at the very least!"
"I-I know, sorry about that, I'll explain, I'll explain…" I sighed, as I quickly decided to explain things out to Fuyu to not make further confusion. I told her about the branch of Yggdrasil and everything that happened as it grew into a giant tree thanks to the power of the divine energies we infused.
"S-So that happened! Well… I guess that's good? I think there's something special about the tree, as it has connected to my own Divine Realm, and by exchange, into your own soul as well. All three of these things are connected." Said Fuyu. "I am still trying to discern its powers and analyze it completely. But the Tree could be used as a way to gain more power as well, or to gain new abilities… Also my [Agriculture] and [Gardening] Skills I had beforehand merged into [Divine World Tree's Eden]…" Fuyu said, while showing me her Status. I saw such Skills, it was more like a Divine Ability than a Skill actually, has it had an (S Rank) but also had levels.
"Oh, I see. I guess that's pretty great?" I wondered. "Nothing bad, right?"
"I mean yeah, I guess? But I still have to assess this whole power and calm it down, I am pretty sure you're not going to do that job, don't you?" Said Fuyu while crossing her arms.
"Certainly not…" I sighed. "I can help though."
"No need, I am already on it. The tree is emanating divine power in large quantities. But if you absorb it directly, it might die, so we have to find other ways to use this divine power for our advantage, refining the whole tree through your own power is possible, but I'll do that myself as I am already connected to you anyways." Fuyu shrugged while feeling like she had all the responsibility here.
"Oh, well, thank you for that, Fuyu. I really don't know what I would do without you…" I sighed.
[It might seem as if the tree itself changed the whole structure of Fuyu's internal body, the Divine Realm. Now thanks to the tree, it gained a new ability that might imply that this entire Divine Realm gained the qualifications of an Eden, a mystical place where plants and nature live and flourish… Such places seem to come from Alfheim, according to all data I've accumulated and reassessed.]
I see… Wait, Data?
[Just take a look at the tree, the appraising function can tell a lot about things by merely analyzing them…]
[Lesser Yggdrasil Tree Sapling]
Through the divine power it had absorbed over time, the small branch had grown into a full-fledged gigantic tree, a descendant of the original Tree of Yggdrasil. It is on a lesser form, the same form that all other Yggdrasil Trees of Lesser form are in the world except their predecessor, as it is said that it might take billions of years for a tree to grow into an adult.
However, if such a thing were to happen, the Yggdrasil tree would become complete, and become able to flourish. From its pollinized flowers, enormous fruits would grow, each one creating a whole Realm inside. The potential of the Yggdrasil Trees is the ability to create worlds and even entire Universes, they're the ones that bring life where there is none.
In this state, the Yggdrasil Tree is capable of converting its surroundings into a [Holy Eden] that makes all plants and nature flourish and grow unnaturally fast and filled with vigor and divinity.
It was…
Amazing!
