Chapter 1963: Evolving the Standard World Trees
As soon as Ajax successfully evolved one of the Standard World Trees into a Higher World Tree, a couple of system notifications rang in his head.
The familiar 'Dings' echoed, each note resonating with the significance of his achievement.
'Swoosh'
Simultaneously, a Dark Green-Coloured Fruit appeared in Ajax's hands, pulsing with a faint, otherworldly glow.
"T-this... it really evolved into a Higher World Tree. He really did it." The Greater Forest Dragon Emperor, Sylvan, was utterly shocked by the scene unfolding before him.
His eyes widened, feeling the vibrant plant energy radiating from the newly evolved Higher World Tree. The tree stood taller and prouder, its leaves shimmering with a mystical light that signified its elevated status.
On the other hand, Ajax remained calm and collected, a confident smile playing on his lips.
He held the Dark Green-Coloured Fruit with a sense of satisfaction and pride. After contemplating for a moment, he turned to Sylvan and asked, "Uncle Sylvan, you don't mind me keeping this Special Higher World Fruit, right?"
Whenever a World Tree successfully evolved to the next grade, it would bestow a Special Fruit to the one who aided in its evolution.
Despite the fact that Ajax was neither the owner of the Higher World Tree nor had he invested his personal cultivation resources in nurturing or evolving it, the Higher World Tree still chose to bestow him with a Special Higher World Fruit.
It was an acknowledgment of his critical role in its transformation.
Without Ajax's assistance, the tree would have remained a Standard World Tree, never realizing its full potential.
Sylvan shook his head, his expression a mix of admiration and resignation.
"Since the Higher World Tree has bestowed the Special Higher World Fruit to you, I have no right to take it from you," he said, suppressing his heartache over losing the Special Higher World Fruit to Ajax.
He understood the significance of the fruit and the value it held.
In the past, Sylvan had received a Special Standard World Fruit. Consuming it had increased the awakening of his Divine Forest Rule from 45 percent to 50 percent.
However, the Special Higher World Fruit was a hundred times more valuable and effective than a Special Standard World Fruit.
The potential benefits it could bestow were immeasurable, yet Sylvan knew better than to let his desires cloud his judgment.
The Higher World Tree, like other special trees, gained sentience at 1000 years and condensed a soul at 10,000 years. By the time it reached 100,000 years, it could be considered a Spirit Beast.
Sylvan's Higher World Tree, being 100,000 years old, was sentient and capable of understanding and forming opinions about its owner. Sylvan did not want to disappoint his Higher World Tree or appear as a bad owner in its eyes.
"Thanks, Uncle Sylvan," Ajax said with a warm smile, genuinely grateful for the Dragon Emperor's understanding.
He then added, "Will you give me two more Greater World Cores to evolve the remaining two Standard World Trees?"
Having successfully evolved one Standard World Tree into a Higher World Tree, Ajax had gained the trust of the Greater Forest Dragon Emperor.
His request for additional resources was not unfounded but based on his proven capability. Sylvan, recognizing Ajax's potential and sincerity, didn't hesitate. He handed over two Greater World Cores and the necessary Heavenly Dew to Ajax.
"Sure," Sylvan said, his tone reflecting his newfound confidence in Ajax. "Here are the two Greater World Cores and the Heavenly Dew you need."
Ajax accepted the resources with a nod of gratitude.
Without wasting any time, he proceeded to the next Standard World Tree. With practiced precision and calm determination, he began the process of evolution. 'Swoosh'
The evolution process was swift and efficient, thanks to Ajax;s experience of evolving the World Trees. The trees began to glow, their aura intensifying until it finally reached its peak.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
'Ding,
Congratulations to the host for successfully evolving the Standard World Tree into a Higher World Tree.'
'Ding,
To help it evolve, the Higher World Tree has gifted you a Special Higher World Fruit.'

Ajax now held three Special Higher World Fruits, and he could not wait to consume them. "Nephew Ajax, thanks for your help."
Calming himself, the Greater Forest Dragon Emperor thanked Ajax from the bottom of his heart.
"There is no need to thank me, Uncle Sylvan. It is an equal trade," Ajax reminded the Forest Dragon Emperor about the Five Heaven Essence Gathering Tree Seeds.
"Haha"
Sylvan chucked and gave the seeds to Ajax without any hesitation.
After that, Ajax took a walk in Sylvan's personal garden, waited for all his Old Subordinates to complete their Body Tempering with the Sentient Fire named Forestfire.
"Master, everyone has completed their body tempering," Ajax received a voice transmission from one of his Old Subordinates, making Ajax heave a sigh of relief.
"Uncle Sylvan, I will take my leave now," Ajax bowed to Sylvan in respect before leaving the Greater Forest Dragon World along with his Old Subordinates.
Ajax had spent nearly one day with the Forest Dragon Emperor, sharing their thoughts regarding the Spirit Plants and Trees. He had greatly benefitted from Sylvan's knowledge and could not help but admire Sylvan for his vast knowledge.
"Everyone, enter the Greater Jade Dragon World to complete the body tempering with your third Sentient Fire," Ajax gave the orders to his Old Subordinates, after their return to the Five Elemental World.
To become the Divine Body Cultivators, they have to undergo the Body Tempering with three Sentient Flames and so far, these Old Subordinates have successfully completed their Body Tempering with Stormfire and Forestfire.
As long as they complete the Body Tempering with the Jade Fire, Ajax could easily fulfil the other two requirements to help the Old Cultivators become the Divine Body Cultivators.
'Once they become the Divine Body Cultivators, I will let them use the Giant Elemental Crytals to quickly awaken their Divine Rules and increase their awakening percentage.'
Ajax was looking forward to that.
'Finally, it's time to sow the Heavenly Essence Gathering Tree Seeds in the Inner World...sorry Divine Inner World.'
