For Sale. Fallen Lady. Never Used.

Chapter 335: Circulating Life (4)

The Circulating Life hugged me once and then gently stepped back, saying.

“I’ll go get them now, so please wait a moment.”

“Huh?”

Really? For real?

While I was tilting my head in disbelief, the Circulating Life closed her eyes and extended her palm upwards towards the ceiling.

Instantly, a sense of pressure surged around her. As she began to wield her divine power in earnest, green light started to gather, soon taking the shape of a long rod.

“This is...”

“A branch of the World Tree. I lack the skill of a craftsman, so I can only shape it roughly.”

“That’s enough. My personal alchemist is very capable.”

“Oh? Then that’s good.”

As I nodded confidently, the Circulating Life smiled broadly at Faye.

Faye, suddenly under scrutiny, began to hiccup from the pressure, but even so, she couldn’t take her eyes off the branch of the World Tree.

She must be getting some inspiration on how to use it. Despite everything, she was a genius.

Seeing my satisfied expression, the Circulating Life quietly asked.

“If it’s really necessary, I was going to ask Steel, who would take a lot of time, but... you trust this child, right?”

“Yes. Everything I use must pass through Faye’s hands.”

“Oh my. She is quite unique, but she is an alchemist, isn’t she? Then I should give accordingly.”

“Is that possible?”

“Of course. The World Tree is my avatar, so it holds power on its own, but... it becomes the most potent when I infuse it with my divine power. At that time, I just need to match it to the life force and wavelength of a specific individual.”

With a wink, the Circulating Life explained that everyone alive had a life force with a unique pattern.

She began to draw on her divine power once more.

Uwoong.

The pressure intensified to the point where it felt like holding one’s breath, but rather than feeling threatening, it was comforting.

In this strong divine power that made the entire room glow green, other items began to emerge.

From newly sprouted small leaves to leaves larger than me, in various types.

Flowers of white, pink, yellow, red, blue, and more, each blooming in their colors.

Along with golden and silver apples, a set of glass bottles containing the first through third dew of the World Tree I had seen before, a wooden bottle with a red, viscous liquid like blood, roots shaped like a person, and bark harder than any steel plate.

True to her word, the Circulating Life gave me everything I had asked for.

Holding the World Tree series, which I had never fully completed even in H&A, in my arms, I was overwhelmed with emotion, expressing it in the language that came to mind.

“Mom...!”

“Hmm. Does that make me the mother-in-law of Radiance?”

“What?”

Solaris, who had been lounging by the fireplace, jumped up.

“Yandel? My husband? That’s a bit much, isn’t it...?”

“But think about it, Solaris. What should someone who gives so much boundless happiness be called if not ‘mother’?”

“Well, if you put it that way, I’ve done a lot for you too!”

“Hmm... but you can’t marry your mom, so is it really okay?”

“Ugh!”

Solaris froze as if caught in a multiple-choice trap, muttering to herself like she was malfunctioning. I sat her down beside me.

Then, my eyes met with the Circulating Life, who was looking at me with a subtle expression.

“What’s wrong? Oh, I really appreciate the gift. It will be a great help in this operation.”

“I wasn’t looking for gratitude. I was just curious how you tamed this battle-thirsty lion. By the way, what operation are you talking about?”

“I just found out, but the Grotesque Proliferation is gathering their forces right at the edge of the Great Forest. They’re probably planning a full-scale attack.”

“The Grotesque Proliferation has a bad match-up with elves. But don’t worry, Alfheim has enough strength to fend them off.”

Her voice was filled with pride. Judging by her reaction, it seemed the Circulating Life didn’t know that these demons could drain even spirit energy.

As a result, your body, stimulated by this, has transcended its previous limits and become even stronger.

The innate power of life will always be with you.

Increased efficiency of physical stats

I had guessed from the initial notification about obtaining a blessing, but as expected.

There were two types of the Blessing of the World Tree.

One was like mine, awakening the body with dense life force, maintaining an awakened state through the power of the blessing—this was an offensive type of blessing.

While the stats themselves remained unchanged, the power they produced was different. Think of it as adding a bonus to all physical activities, separate from the stat numbers.

The other was what Milone and Nariell might have received: longevity, regeneration, disease resistance, etc.—these were supportive blessings that were beneficial in daily life.

This type would be significantly weaker when far from the World Tree but would be enhanced when close, reflecting the parental wish for their child to grow up healthy and live long without illness.

Well, I already had the Blessing of the Sun God, so this wasn’t particularly necessary for me.

Perhaps she chose to give me this offensive type because she knew that.

Satisfied, I lifted the corners of my mouth and finally checked my status window.

After reading through to the end, I slowly opened my eyes.

And my eyes met with Solaris, who looked betrayed as if she had just witnessed her husband cheating.

“......”

“It’s a misunderstanding!”

Even though it felt like the line of a husband caught cheating, it must surely be just my feeling.
