[Plant] Domain.
This is a relatively rare domain ability, generally only a small number of legendary Druids can acquire it, and Arborists are the easiest profession to obtain this domain. Under normal circumstances, natural beings such as Legendary Treants, Legendary Treants, and Legendary Flower Spirits will automatically comprehend it after reaching a certain realm. However, if this domain is attained by humans or other races, the occurrence probability becomes extremely rare; at least Soren has never seen a human capable of mastering this domain.
“It seems I’ve benefited from Father Oak this time.”
As one of the main deities of the Nature Deity system, Father Oak has always been regarded as the embodiment of nature. In the process of awakening His divine power, Soren comprehended some characteristics of His power, thus mastering the [Plant] domain. This kind of perception likely requires a foundation; if Ildis were to come, he would probably never be able to master the [Plant] domain, as he does not possess divine-level abilities and cannot understand the rules of divine power.
The ritual is still ongoing.
Soren fell into a marvelous state of spiritual and physical separation. Although a portion of Father Oak’s divine power still merged into Soren’s body, no data prompts appeared during the subsequent rituals.
“It seems this is all I can comprehend!”
Soren’s spirit still enveloped the area above the forest; through the mist, he seemed to see the phantom of a towering tree, an illusion conjured by Father Oak’s divine power.
At this moment, one-third of the forest had already been purified, and enormous divine power continued to awaken without interruption. Soren gazed at everything before him and muttered, “The [Plant] domain is just a part of the [Nature] domain.”
“As one of the most powerful domains, the Nature domain encompasses far too much.”
“The Rite of the Treant’s Dance seems to only involve the laws of the Plant domain, which means I can probably only receive data prompts once. If I want to master the [Nature] domain, I need to supplement it with the [Animal] domain and perhaps other domain abilities related to [Nature]?”
The [Nature] domain encompasses too much.
However, it is not necessary to master everything to comprehend the [Nature] domain, as the power of a domain is not equal to a divine profession; divine professions can also be divided into independent areas. Thus, certain powerful domains can use some basic domains as a pivot, but the abilities performed after mastering them will certainly not reach a perfect standard.
A deity who has mastered three basic nature-related domains and comprehended the nature comprehension of deities would naturally be weaker than a deity who has mastered five or six basic nature-related domains.
That is why the God of m*rder sought all means to gather powers such as m*rder, slaughter, destruction, d*ath, fear, and so on.

Outside the Jungle Gate.
When Father Oak’s divine power was completely awakened, the Goddess of Magic finally showed a hint of relief on her face.
As long as Father Oak’s divine power was awakened, the ritual would pose no issues.
At this moment.
She took a glance at the time and thought to herself, “It actually takes this long to awaken Father Oak’s divine power. If he hadn’t been willing to help, even if I helped Ildis increase his power, he probably wouldn’t have been able to hold on to this point.”
Saying this, Lady of the Night glanced at Ildis beside her and quickly directed her gaze towards the interior of the Jungle Gate.
Mortals are, after all, just mortals.
At this moment, the Goddess of Magic realized that in the upcoming crisis, tapping into the power of deities is more effective than relying on the strength of mortals.
Although relying on the power of mortals is somewhat concealed.
The forces of other old deities are intricately intertwined; even her closest allies cannot be fully trusted. These deities have their own enemies who will surely pay attention to them, and any slight entanglement could alert the evil faction overlord controlling the Shadow Magic Network, the Lady of the Night. Thus, the Goddess of Magic did not contact her allies or even the church power that served her. One thing is for sure, the church and forces serving her must have been under covert surveillance by enemies.
However.
Soren, who is willing to help her now, does not have these problems because he is a new god, a newly ascended deity. Such a deity generally does not have significant interactions with older deities; although he may be slightly noticed by others, he is far from being conspicuous, and he currently has not been entangled in the faction disputes among the deities.
In this regard, Soren is one of her most desired candidates.
The Goddess of Magic cannot trust anyone at this moment; Soren might be one of the few individuals she can attempt to trust!
Having been a deity for too long, interpersonal relationships become too complex.
Soren, who has just ascended, is like a blank slate. Although he is a deity of the Evil Faction, the Goddess of Magic has shifted her alignment to neutral for the integration of the Shadow Magic Network, making cooperation between them a possibility. The Goddess of Magic is also pondering whether she can draw Soren into her pantheon, as she immediately noticed Soren is a Wanderer and a part-time Wizard.
As long as he is a part-time spellcasting profession, she can attempt to incorporate him into her pantheon.
…………
A day has passed in the blink of an eye.
As Father Oak’s immense divine power gradually dissipated, the Misty Forest revitalized, and those ancient trees that had nearly withered began to sprout tender shoots again. As long as no evil forces corrode them, they will soon be able to revive.
In the glow of dawn.
The entire forest seemed to be joyfully breathing, and the beasts living within became inexplicably happy. Faintly, one could see groups of flower spirits fluttering in the air. This massive forest has been purified by divine power; Father Oak’s divine power awakened the dormant Treants. Although they still remained motionless, they had indeed awakened; they were simply too lazy to move.
The Lady of the Night re-entered the interior of the Jungle Gate.
She saw Soren, looking pale and seemingly exhausted. The place had returned to its original state, and a faint floral fragrance filled the air. However, as an immensely powerful Goddess of Magic, she could still detect a hint of temptation and indulgence in that floral scent. This discovery brought a faint blush to her face. As a deity wielding vast knowledge, she naturally understood what had transpired during yesterday’s ritual.
“Thank you!”
The Goddess of Magic looked at Soren, who appeared weary and a bit listless, and said earnestly, “Thank you very much!”
She said thank you twice.
And while saying the second time, she slightly bowed her head towards Soren.
Soren smiled faintly, still looking quite fatigued, but his eyes sparkled brightly. The burden on his body did not affect his seemingly transcendent spirit, and he spoke slowly, “Kalyena is opening the Nature Gate.”
“But only you can go in.”
“Hurry up.”
“She said it can only be opened for a while.”
What is inside the Nature Gate?
Soren was naturally curious, but since the Treants only allowed the Goddess of Magic to enter, he wouldn’t force anything.
He could somewhat guess that it might not be a nature shrine but rather part of Father Oak’s divine kingdom. That’s why the Treants didn’t allow anyone else to enter; the Goddess of Magic had to go into Father Oak’s divine kingdom to retrieve something. Soren vaguely thought of a legendary artifact but could not confirm it fully.
Ildis also walked in.
However, his expression seemed a bit dejected at the moment, as he felt like a bystander, entirely here to observe.
The two seemed to have no conversation to share.
Soren was now too tired to talk; even as a deity, yesterday’s sacred ritual had still placed a considerable burden on him. After communicating some matters with the Goddess of Magic, he figured he would need to return to Modo City to rest for a bit.
d*mn!
This High Treant feels even more formidable than the Succubus. Back when he ventured into the Bottomless Abyss, Soren had also experienced the methods of a Succubus. But at that time, he was just a Legendary Wanderer and did not feel as exhausted as now.
It can only be explained that the ritual itself increased his burden!
The Lady of the Night soon reappeared.
Accompanying her was the Treant leader, Kalyena. The other Treants also seemed very tired, having fallen asleep after absorbing part of Soren’s power.
The power from the Leaf of Life needs to be digested; if they succeed, there might be 36 Legendary Treants born here.
They are originally high-tier beings. A small opportunity can lead to the chance for them to ascend to legend.
The Lady of the Night had a relaxed smile on her face, indicating she had obtained what she wanted. Now that she had obtained her desired item, there was no need for the group to continue lingering here; the vast divine power awakened yesterday should have alerted some individuals.
“My Lady!”
Just as Soren was about to leave, Treant leader Kalyena called out to him, then the beautiful Treant presented a superbly crafted vine bracer, handing it to Soren with a gentle voice that seemed tinged with reluctance, “Thank you very much for your assistance. This is a little gift prepared by my sisters for you.”
“I hope you can accept it!”
Soren smiled lightly and then reached out to take the bracer. The moment he touched it, a peculiar light glimmered, and the bracer transformed into vines that automatically wrapped around Soren’s arms, adjusting to the right size, looking as if it were a living entity.
A Legendary Item!?
Ildis beside him showed a hint of envy; this equipment could actually recognize its master and adjust its size, indicating it was not an ordinary legendary item.
Soren’s expression also held a bit of surprise, even the Goddess of Magic appeared taken aback.
However, at this moment, what the Lady of the Night was considering was that since the Treants had presented such a valuable item to repay Soren, what should she offer in return?
At present, it seems she has nothing worthy to present as a gift.

…………
Summoning a high-ranking Treant?
When Soren saw the attributes of this equipment, he couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment, then a bitter smile appeared on his face.
This item’s effects are decent; one could only say it was a token of ‘appreciation’ at best.
I hope they can ascend to the Legendary Domain soon; that way, Soren at least can summon a Legendary-level high Treant as an assistant. (To be continued ~^~)
