Begin As A Tree: Don’t Worry. I’ll Become A God

Chapter 7: Divine Tree Dream

Gu Xiao thought carefully after hearing Ling Yao’s words.

With him as the center, other than some demon beasts born here, there was no one else within a hundred miles.

Decades ago, there were people who killed people and buried their bodies at their feet.

But after Bai Mingxuan, he had never seen a living person again.

Since those people were Ling Yao’s father’s old subordinates, they should be trustworthy. After all, he had to develop his believers. If these people became his believers, he would probably be able to obtain another wave of experience.

Most importantly, if they built a village on the mountainside, they had to go out and walk around. They had to bring out their reputation and attract more believers. This was clearly killing two birds with one stone.

Gu Xiao said to Ling Yao, “We can build a village on the mountainside for them to live in, but you have to discipline these people well.”

After Ling Yao heard this, she smiled sweetly. A small dimple appeared on her face, bright and moving.

“Thank you, Lord Divine Tree! Ling Yao will definitely manage these well and not let Lord Divine Tree worry!”

After saying that, Ling Yao kowtowed respectfully and stood up to leave.

Gu Xiao originally wanted to chat with this girl for a while longer, but this girl seemed to have become much more mature and steady the last time she came, even though she still looked playful and cute.

At this moment, Gu Xiao suddenly remembered that the last time this girl came, she was only in her prime. In the blink of an eye, decades had passed. If it weren’t for the fact that he had cultivated the art of beauty preservation, she would probably be a mother-in-law now.

In the next few days, Ling Yao instructed her father’s old subordinates to build a village on the mountainside and settled down.

Gu Xiao also thought of the two Windtooth Wolf cubs. The two cubs had built their nests not far from Gu Xiao, but there was still no movement.

Not only did they not give birth to any cubs, but they also did not have any major breakthroughs. In fact, they had not even appeared for a period of time. If Gu Xiao had not sensed that they were still alive, he would have thought that the two cubs were dead.

The flowers bloomed and fell. It was another season.

In the wind and rain, several more years passed.

After Ling Yao built the village halfway up the mountain, it developed rapidly under her management over the past few years.

From a small village with only a dozen households, it slowly became a large village with dozens of households. The name of the village was also related to Gu Xiao. It was called the Divine Tree Village.

Marriage was one of the methods of expanding the village’s population. In the past few years, the Divine Tree Village and the villages within a hundred miles or even a thousand miles had been very popular.

In the forests and deep mountains of this world, there would always be some powerful demon beasts. Those demon beasts usually did not come out of the mountains, but if there was a shortage of food in the mountains, they would choose to go down the mountain and rob humans.

However, no demon beast had ever entered the village to injure anyone. There was nothing else because Gu Xiao occupied this mountain. He was the biggest anomaly on this mountain.

Hence, more people hoped to settle down in the Divine Tree Village. However, as the village chief, Ling Yao was very strict with the people of the Divine Tree Village.

Other than normal marriages, only those with a certain level of ability and character could stay.

The top of the mountain above the Divine Tree Village had been turned into a forbidden area by Ling Yao. Without the permission of the Divine Tree Village, outsiders were not allowed to go up the mountain.

Gu Xiao was gradually getting used to such days. Although it was a little lonely, after Ling Yao moved back, she could still come up and chat with him occasionally. It was much better than the previous days.

After many days, one day, Gu Xiao suddenly felt a strong aura erupt from the two young beasts.

In the beginning, Gu Xiao thought that the two cubs had encountered an opponent, so he wanted to extend his branch to help the two cubs. Unexpectedly, two lights flashed in front of him, and the two demon beast cubs landed in front of him.

Gu Xiao took a closer look and could not help but be overjoyed.

These two demon beast cubs had broken through again. Not only had they broken through, but even their appearances had changed.

The two little guys had wings, but one had a pair of wings, while the other had a pair of wings that looked like a flying dragon’s.

“Lord Divine Tree, the two of us have finally broken through!”

The two little guys said in unison.

Gu Xiao said with satisfaction, “Alright, alright. I can see that the two of you have already broken through. Not bad. I’ll give you two names.”

The two little guys quickly nodded.

Gu Xiao thought for a moment and said to the winged Windtooth Wolf demon beast cub, “Your name is Gang Feng.”

Then, he said to the other cub, “Your name is Gang Xuan.”

The two little guys were overjoyed when they heard that. They finally had a name after so many years.

Gu Xiao originally thought that these two little fellows would focus on fertility next, but he did not expect that after staying by his side for a year, they applied to travel again.

He agreed. If they stayed in this piece of land, they would not be able to truly become stronger. Moreover, the most important thing was that if they made a name for themselves outside, it would be beneficial for them to level up.

After a few more years, Bai Mingxuan, Ling Yao, Gang Feng, Gang Xuan, and the other believers had all developed very well. Even Gu Xiao’s level had finally broken through to Level 4!

The lottery wheel that he had not seen for decades appeared again. Gu Xiao rubbed his branches.

“Divine-grade cultivation technique! I have to get a Divine-grade cultivation technique this time!”

Gu Xiao thought about it and pressed the lucky draw button.

The target light on the wheel kept spinning and finally slowed down. Unfortunately, it passed the big option of the Divine-grade cultivation technique and arrived at the other options.

In the end, the light stopped at an ability.

Gu Xiao saw that it was the ability to enter other people’s dreams.

He was a little speechless. Hadn’t he obtained this ability before?

“System, are you serious? Didn’t I already have this ability when I imparted cultivation to others?”

[Ding! This ability is different from the host’s ability to successfully enter dreams. The host can freely communicate in the dreams of believers. After leveling up, the host can also freely enter other people’s dreams.]

When Gu Xiao heard this, he was not overjoyed. He only felt a little better. It was not the worst outcome that he did not draw a Divine-grade cultivation technique and obtained this ability to freely enter other people’s dreams.

Of course, he still needed to level up.

Gu Xiao thought about it and immediately used his ability to enter Ling Yao’s dream.

After entering Ling Yao’s dream, Gu Xiao was also shocked by his own transformation.

In Ling Yao’s dream, his leaves seemed to be able to touch the sky, and his roots seemed to be able to stretch for thousands of miles.

The willow leaf hung low, emitting an exuberant spiritual aura. The trunk was no longer of the texture of ordinary trees. Instead, it had turned into a structure similar to jade. If one looked clearly, one could even see the patterns inside the tree.

“Could this be my final appearance?”

Gu Xiao could not help but ask.

“Wow! What a huge and beautiful willow tree! Could it be Lord Divine Tree?”

At this moment, Gu Xiao heard Ling Yao’s exclamation. He looked down and saw that Ling Yao had also discovered him.

Gu Xiao thought for a moment and said to Ling Yao.

“Ling Yao, bring all the villagers of Divine Tree Village to me tomorrow.”
