☆, 06744 - hatred

When the retreating animals and the humans waiting in place were able to see each other, the amount of plant apparitions between the two teams skyrocketed, and these apparitions completely blocked the possibility of the two teams seeing each other, and launched attacks on each team. The two squads could only coordinate with their hasty glances, clearing a passage from the dense pile of plant phantoms. When the two squads are fully merged, the amount of plant apparitions decreases to the level where the team has just exited the metal wall, and the attack on the team stops.

The two squads reunited as one and retreated towards the metal wall, the closer they got to the metal wall, the more obvious the phytophantasm flutter became, but the tendency to flutter was less like that of the team, but more like of the metal wall, or rather at the impending door.

When the plant apparition attacks or prepares to attack the team, the members of the team are on high alert but also maintain strong sanity, attacking, stopping, and retreating in a step-by-step manner, even if they are seriously injured, they do not show much emotion.

However, when the target of the plant phantom is placed on the metal wall door, the team members seem to be a little out of control. It seems that the plant apparition's attempt at the door awakens a bitter hatred in them.

Hatred that threatens their lives and deprives them of their liberty is much more serious.

But in the end, the plant phantom just watched the team get started, and even though it showed eagerness, it didn't really pounce on the door.

If I continue to consume the Lumin Fruit as a raw material and keep decreasing the amount of Lumin Fruit pits that I trade to plants, how much will the plants react to me? Like the humans of this secret realm? Like the animals or to the point of the gate?

Also, how different is an entity plant from a plant apparition?

When I came to this secret realm, the first and second teams came out of the metal wall only a few months apart, and judging by their conversations, they should have come out several times a year, as if to test the attitude of the plant apparitions towards creatures, or to try to return to the surface. But this time, when the second team withdrew into the metal wall, I waited for nearly three years before the third team appeared.

During this period, I refined the plant Tongming fruit in the air alone for three years, and from the second year onwards, I no longer gave back to the Tongming fruit core, which pulled the hatred of the plants on the ground extremely steadily, and the plant phantom also appeared in the air. The apparitions that I could see without the need for my spiritual power to operate in a particular way were clearer than what I had seen in the underground passages with the help of the parade, and I could better understand their intentions.

They intend to turn me into a plant to worship their god of abundance.

☆、06745 - Gods and Demons

These plant entities are followers of the God of the Harvest, while the apparitions are the messengers of the God of the Harvest. Believers worship religiously, and the messenger selects the best worshippers and promotes them as new messengers. When the messenger receives the approval of the god of harvest, he can be upgraded to the god's stand-in, and then choose a place to build his own god statue and collect the power of faith for the god.

Those who do not worship, believe, or disobey the god of the harvest will be punished by the gods, and can only be accompanied by the barren land in a cage built of magic stones, starving day by day, degenerating into monsters, and turning into new magic stones after death, imprisoning new degenerates.

...... In the Overworld, the word 'monster' is about the same as retardation, and it's quite sad here?

I also know from the plant apparition that the temples and idols left in the plants are specially reserved for the sake of the believers' hearts, but those who need to place their faith on the idols are very rudimentary, and they do not yet have their own unique idols in their minds, and must entrust external objects. In the future, when these junior believers are upgraded, the idols and temples will disappear.

God is everywhere, and the physical image of God is instead a bondage to God. As long as you believe in God, God is in the soil, in the air, in the leaves...... Accompany every inch of the believer's piety.

Plant Phantom ...... Or better yet, phantom plants, which are another plant and not an accessory form of a plant.

The Phantom Plant also told me that a long time ago, there were many gods on this planet, and then all living beings realized that the God of Harvest was the only one who was right, and then the other gods gradually lost their godheads, and some became followers of the God of Harvest, a subordinate god of the God of Harvest, and some became monsters. The original magic stone was incarnated by the former god who refused to bow to the god of harvest.

Those who believe in the god of the harvest will flourish as the plants on the ground, while those who doubt the gods can only breathe in the dark underground.

Phantom Plant: "Choose your future." There is only one way to harvest, and you will be able to reap everything you want to harvest if you go along, and if you deviate from this path, you will not be able to have a new harvest, and you will gradually lose what you once had. ”

Me: "Everything, what if I want to reap the life of the god of the harvest?"

The phantom plants didn't seem to take my question as a provocation, and they continued to bewitch: "God doesn't care about life and death, God exists." If you are religious enough, you will get closer and closer to God, becoming God's favored right and left hand, until you become the next god of God's gifts. ”

Phantom Plant: "Just like us." ”

Physical Plants: "We are always trying to draw closer to God. ”

☆, 06746 - Entities and Phantoms

Me: "Can't solid plants go deep underground?"

Phantom Plant: "The underground filth is too strong, and the closer you get to the magic stone, the more you lack the protection of God, and the junior believers will be very confused in that kind of place, and only advanced believers like us can fight against the evil of monsters with a firm belief in God in our hearts." ”

Phantom Plant: "But even us, if we are injured by a monster's weapon, their demonic energy will infect our originally pure body, and we need to take time to purify, so it is inconvenient for us to start a large-scale war with the monster." ”

Phantom Plant: "It's still a matter of our lack of faith. If our faith is stronger, we should be able to purify the demonic energy in an instant, and we will not be afraid of the attack of the monsters. ”

Me: "You ...... Have you ever tried to die with the creatures of the earth, and trade your lives for their lives, and if you have a numerical advantage, maybe you can exterminate them?"

Phantom Plant: "God says it's not worth it." The lives of devout disciples like ours are much more precious than monsters. ”

Me: "Phantom Plants, i.e., the number of high-level believers is less than that of underground creatures?Phyllum plants, that is, the number of low-level believers is more than that of underground creatures, but low-level believers can't reach the territory of underground creatures? If they are allowed to go up to the ground, they can destroy the solid plants, and if the number of physical plants is greatly reduced, the phantom plants will weaken or even disappear?"

Me: "The physical plant is the energy supply of the phantom plant?The physical plant provides the power of faith to the god of harvest and the power of the phantom plant as the messenger of the god?, so the phantom plant strictly controls the range of activities of the underground creatures, separating the underground creatures from the solid plants?"

Me: "Maybe the phantom plants or even the harvest god have destroyed the thermal weapons of the underground creatures? If you rely on cold weapons alone, even if the underground creatures fight hard to break through to the ground, they will not be able to move too many physical plants, and if the underground creatures have a weapon that destroys half the planet's plants, you will not be able to maintain a stalemate." ”

Me: "Does my mass harvesting of plant parts also give you a sense of threat, especially if I don't give you fertilizer? If you can't convince me to become a believer in the god of harvest, will you also drive me into a magic stone cage? But what if you can't hurt me?"

The phantom plant's voice was confused: "Are you hostile to us? Why? At first, you mainly picked the branches and leaves that were about to fall off, and later, although you moved the parts that were growing just right, you also picked some on each of the multiple plants, and did not cause root damage to any of the plants, and gave back nutrients. Are you not tempting, proving that you have the power to serve God? Aren't you discouraged because you don't get God's response because you stop giving sustenance?"

Me: "Most of the time, I don't mind who I serve once or twice, and I don't care if I get something in return for doing what I want to do, but if you want to ask for a lifetime of service and a lifetime of passion, that's not okay." ”

Phantom Plant: "Once you have received the power of God, you will be loyal." ”

☆、06747-WARNING

Me: "My allegiance already has an object of devotion, although I dare not say that I am an absolutely single-minded person, but if you want to shake me in this matter, I estimate that the god of harvest is not strong enough." ”

The phantom plant attacked me. Their power did not emanate from them and fall on me in a certain trajectory, but as if calling for forces from all directions to exert them almost evenly on me. The force is not too great and I can bear it, but the range of the force is too wide and dense for me to hide.

It was more of a warning and didn't really intend to hurt me right away, but it let me know I had no room to resist or choose.

While I was under pressure, I continued to refine the Luminous Fruit in a way that did not harm the physical plant's roots.

Although I have a lot of consumables for refining Tongming Fruit, I have never exhausted my daily life, and I have always given priority to the use of dead branches and leaves, and secondly, I have always used parts that are easy to recover and that plants are willing to take the initiative to trade with monks, and the rules for selecting refining raw materials after I come here are the same.

Although I couldn't hear the physical plants at first, I was able to tell if they were willing to trade with me based on some of their reactions. After the transaction, the clear fruit pits that I gave back to them were one of the reasons for the acceleration of the growth of solid plants.

I'm sure it's just one of the reasons, I'm very familiar with the fertilizer effect of Tongming fruit, and I can tell it even if I cross the wall of the world. The actual reaction of the plants here is much more intense than that of the pits of the fruit, and it is becoming more and more violent, and there must be other reasons for the accelerated growth of the plants after I came, such as the plants 'want to grow'.

Crookedly, my act of scattering the pits of the Luminous Fruit was seen as a gesture of friendship by the Phantom Plants, which delayed their attack on me and tried to win me over.

Phantom Plant: "The nutrients you have sprinkled on us have the effect of promoting a good harvest, and you have the gift of becoming an oracle, please cherish it and don't go astray." Don't be too ambitious, your talent is only as good as a smile from the god of harvest. Do you want to see miracles?"

After the word 'miracle' was finished, the clumps of plants that had been so vacant that I had refined grew rapidly, not only filling the vacancies completely, but also growing a little higher as a whole, compressing the space above the plant-free by a fraction.

The pressure on me was a little bit greater.

Me: "Why don't you let the plants fill the sky?"

Phantom Plant: "Make room for future members." ”

Me: "What will you do if all the creatures in the underground are wiped out or turned into plants? If there are no more enemies, just keep being plants? Listen to God, let the growth be luxuriant, let the growth be thinner and leave room for other creatures to be thin, and then be thin? If a creature from another world breaks in, persuade the visitors from another world to believe in the God of Harvest, and if they don't believe it, they will die?"

Me: "Seems boring?"
