Chapter 3 Rewards Settlement: A Major Upgrade!
Lin Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
What he feared most was that Ah Yin would be blinded by love and ignore the warnings from her "kindred spirits".
It seems that I hold a more important place in her heart than I had imagined.
But that's not enough.
Having a sense of vigilance alone is far from enough.
Backed by Tang Hao stood the entire Clear Sky Sect, and the Spirit Hall was also secretly coveting him.
Once the true intentions are revealed, Ah Yin, a 100,000-year-old soul beast, is utterly powerless to resist.
time!
What I need most right now is time!
We must seize every moment and complete the system's first task and the first reproduction as soon as possible!
If I could gain enough power and the ability to communicate directly with Gintoki, everything would be different.
Lin Ye knew perfectly well that Tang Hao's plan was full of flaws.
How could someone who truly loves her take her around in public, only to bring about his own death?
How could someone who truly wanted to protect her always "coincidentally" encounter a powerful enemy, forcing her to take action?
If these doubts could be voiced, Ah Yin, with her intelligence, would surely be able to figure out the key to them.
At that time, Tang Hao's hypocritical mask will no longer be able to be concealed.
Forestry awareness has been united like never before.
He no longer focused his attention on the outside world, but instead devoted himself to circulating his own essence, frantically absorbing the energy between heaven and earth.
Sunshine, rain, nutrients in the soil, the gentle glow of the moon...
Everything transformed into the purest life energy, flowing into his body, where he compressed and purified it, ultimately condensing it into vibrant grass seeds.
Spring goes and autumn comes, and the seasons change.
The scenery in the forest has changed several times, and the land beneath the forestry workers' feet has long been covered by a more verdant patch of blue silver grass.
These are all his offspring.
Each one is connected to him by blood and shares his consciousness.
Finally, on an autumn morning, as the first rays of sunlight fell on his leaves, a series of crisp notification sounds rang in the forestry worker's mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, on successfully completing your first reproduction!]
[Offspring survival rate 94%, Overall rating: Perfect!]
[Rewards being processed...]
[Congratulations, host! You have gained one thousand years of soul power cultivation!]
boom!
A tremendous force surged from nothingness and instantly permeated the very essence of forestry.
His consciousness roared, as if it were about to explode.
He could clearly feel that every leaf and every root of his was becoming more resilient and full of explosive power under the impact of this force.
The system notification sound continued.
[Congratulations, host! You have obtained the permanent talent: Everlasting Life!]
[Endless Vitality: A unique talent of the Blue Silver Grass bloodline, permanently increasing the speed of absorbing the energy of heaven and earth by 300%! Even in the harshest environments, it can forcibly draw life force to sustain itself!]
This talent is simply a divine skill tailor-made for Blue Silver Grass!
The forestry worker was overjoyed.
[Congratulations, host! You have received a special reward: a bottle of Star Dew!]
[Starry Dew: Formed from the essence of the ancient Tree of Life, it cleanses the body and removes all impurities after consumption. Furthermore, during nighttime cultivation, it allows one to draw upon the power of the stars, greatly accelerating the cultivation process.]
A dewdrop, sparkling with starlight, appeared out of nowhere on a forest leaf, emitting a refreshing fragrance.
Without the slightest hesitation, he absorbed the drop of starlight dew completely with a thought.
A refreshing sensation instantly spread throughout his body, as if cleansing him inside and out, making his mind clearer and more lucid.
[Congratulations, host! You have mastered the innate skill: Life Domain!]
[Life Domain: Creates a life force field centered on itself. Within the domain, all friendly units will receive a life force boost, significantly increasing their regeneration and growth rates!]
All the rewards are incredibly useful!
At that moment, Lin Ye felt that the energy in his body had accumulated to a critical point.
With a thousand years of cultivation and the cleansing of starlight and rain, he finally touched the barrier to transformation!
[Host energy sufficient, meeting the transformation conditions. Proceed with transformation?]
"yes!"
Forestry cried out in its heart.
The next moment, a dazzling blue-gold light burst forth from him.
The surrounding Blue Silver Grass offspring seemed to be summoned, swaying in unison and gathering the purest life energy to pour into his body.
Amidst the light, the form of a blue silver grass was rapidly elongating, twisting, and reshaping.
Bones, meridians, flesh and blood...
The human form is being constructed little by little.
When the light faded, the Blue Silver Grass was nowhere to be seen.
Instead, there was a shirtless young man with long, black hair.
He had a handsome face, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and well-defined lips.
His physique is slender and well-proportioned, with smooth and elegant muscle lines that are not exaggerated but contain astonishing explosive power.
Especially those eyes, as deep as the starry sky and as clear as a mountain spring, carrying a unique warmth and vitality of plants.
Lin Ye looked down at his hands.
He clenched his fist, feeling the real sense of power, and a long-lost excitement welled up in his heart.
finally...
Finally, I'm no longer that swaying blade of grass!
At the same time, a sudden realization dawned on me.
After transforming, he not only gained the ability to move and speak, but also awakened the instinct for sexual reproduction within his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline.
"Ah Yin…"
Lin Ye uttered the name softly, his voice clear and slightly magnetic.
He calculated the time; it had been almost a month since Ah Yin last left.
There were less than a few days left until the day she promised to return.
Involuntarily, the image of that blue figure, those long, beautiful legs with bare feet tracing graceful arcs on the grass, appeared in Lin Ye's mind.
That healthy, natural, and vibrant beauty stirs his heart every time he recalls it.
This time, I had enough confidence.
He was absolutely confident that he could persuade Ah Yin to see Tang Hao's true colors.
That man, in his pursuit of soul bones and soul rings, made countless small moves, revealing too many flaws in his defenses.
...
at the same time.
In a secluded valley on the outskirts of the Starry Sky Forest.
Two figures were moving rapidly.
The man at the head of the group was burly and had a resolute face; he was Tang Hao.
He grabbed Ah Yin from behind, his face showing unprecedented solemnity and anxiety.
"Ah Yin, hurry! The Spirit Hall people are catching up!"
He pulled Ah Yin along, her blue skirt fluttering in the wind, her beautiful face showing a hint of confusion.
"Brother Hao, how could this be?"
She furrowed her beautiful brows and said softly.
"We were so well hidden, and this valley is extremely remote, how did they find us?"
