After a couple of days, the Myriad Sect decided that it was ti to give adow her present.
Everything had already been prepared.
In the last couple of days, adow had heard about everything that had happened. Most of the things were interesting to her but hearing about Sary's death made adow lancholic.
However, Sary's death wasn't in vain, and she would give one last present to adow.
"We've gathered all our dead companions as well as their enemies in the underground mausoleum," Manuel explained to adow. "Their bodies, minds, and Spirits have vanished, but their Laws have been isolated by a Formation Array."
"Over the long years, all the Energy in the mausoleum vanished, but the Laws were left behind. As plants, you can absorb all the Laws in the mausoleum, which will increase your own strength by several magnitudes."
"We originally had asked Narcissus to absorb these Laws, but he said that he already knew many of them, and if he decided to siphon out the remaining Laws, many Laws would go to waste."
Manuel looked at adow with a smile. "But with you here, we no longer need to wait. Now, you two can absorb these Laws together."
"You bought dinner? You shouldn't have," adow said sarcastically. "Tell what you want in exchange. I'm pretty sure that you're not buying dinner just to get in on all this action I can provide."
Manuel only smiled awkwardly. He hadn't been in contact with adow before, and her manner of speech was a little unusual. "We also have bought a very expensive Formation Array to keep plants hidden from prying eyes. Even Ancestral Gods can't see through that Formation Array. Honestly, you can't imagine how expensive it was."
"And now you are even protecting from the an delinquents on the outside. Aw, you're so kind," adow said in a mocking tone. "Whatever can this innocent maiden do for you?"
"I would like you to guarantee the survival of our weaker disciples in eventual wars in the future," Manuel said.
"And how am I supposed to do that?" adow asked.
"Simple. Whenever one of the disciples is about to die, you simply extend your roots and pull them out of the fight, leaving the enemy to soone else."
Silence.
"Why?" adow asked. "Aren't you humans all about Will-Auras? Wouldn't sothing like that damage your Will-Auras or whatever?"
"You haven't been in contact with humans before," Manuel added. "So, it's only logical that you don't know so things. Your logic would be sound when we are talking about battles between individuals, but it's different when Sects are warring with each other."
"We are always in danger in the wars, and everyone knows that our goal is not to temper ourselves but to win. Everyone knows that soone will try to save us during the fights."
"Of course, knowing that you can be saved makes the growth of a Will-Aura weaker since you wouldn't feel like you would certainly die as soon as you lose. The certainty of death would be replaced with a chance."
"However, this allows us to intervene in fights without damaging the Will-Auras of our disciples. Of course, in exchange, the Will-Auras won't grow as much as when we wouldn't save them. It's a risk and reward thing. On an individual basis, it's high risk, high reward, and in Sect warfare, it's low risk, low reward."
"You only run into trouble with Will-Auras when you try to make it low risk, high reward, but we're obviously not doing that."
Silence.
"That's it?" adow asked. "You only want to protect so disciples?"
Manuel nodded. "That's it."
"You don't want to make any Law Comprehension Life Fruits or anything else?"
"No," Manuel answered. "Narcissus will do that, but in turn, he won't protect our disciples in a war."
After a mont of deliberation, adow agreed. "You've got yourself a deal," she answered.
"Glad to hear," Manuel answered.
adow had essentially gotten sothing incredible for nothing. Plants had the ability to slowly consu others to learn more about their Laws, and adow was about to extend her roots into a room full of many different Laws.
She would probably comprehend several level six Laws thanks to that room.
And what did she have to do in return?
Work a little bit every once in a while.
In comparison, Narcissus had it harder. Creating Law Comprehension Life Fruits ate at one's Realm, and the process of infusing the pure Laws into the fruits used up a lot of concentration. On top of that, one needed a vast amount of Life Energy to create them.
However, in return, plants could trade these Law Comprehension Life Fruits for other things. Law Comprehension Life Fruits were worth a lot of money, and because of that, a plant had a thod to make a lot of money very quickly just by being a plant.
One had to rember that plants were not beasts.
Yes, plants were often talked about in the sa manner as beasts, but they were inherently different.
Beasts would eventually beco very similar to humans, but the sa things were not true for plants.
A plant would not receive a Spirit when it beca a Star God. A plant wouldn't undergo any major transformations.
It would essentially remain the sa.
Even more, it was basically impossible for plants to reach the Heaven's Magnate Realm. Plants had no issue with eventually comprehending the Law of the Dead World and the Law of Life, but the Law of Emotions and Law of Perceived Reality would be very difficult for a plant to comprehend.
But in exchange, a plant received other advantages.
First of all, the plant didn't need to temper itself. It only needed lots of Energy, Life Energy, access to Laws, and ti.
Second of all, plants automatically comprehended Laws with ti. Comprehending Laws in this way was more of a random thing, and most of the Laws wouldn't even be that useful in combat, but it was a way to comprehend more Laws. If the plant wanted other Laws, it had to seek out Law Comprehension Areas or consu other living things that knew these Laws.
Third, plants had ten tis the longevity of all other lifeforms.
adow would soon beco a Star God, and when that happened, she would be able to live for ten million more years. In comparison, other Star Gods only had one million years.
Due to that, even though plants couldn't beco Heaven's Magnates, a Divine God plant would still be able to live longer than a Heaven's Magnate.
Now, the question was, why did Orthar create plants in such a way?
Plants were created in such a way to help other lifeforms beco more powerful, faster. These Law Comprehension Life Fruits would accelerate the Law Comprehension of other Cultivators, allowing them to beco more powerful in less ti, which would give Orthar more Energy.
So, with all of this explained, one could see how adow had it easier than Narcissus in that exchange.
Narcissus had to concentrate on creating fruits, while adow could just do nothing for most of the ti.
Plants didn't need to travel the world, et other people, talk to others, or all these things humans and beasts desired.
They were content with just staying in a place that felt comfortable and simply living.
And right now, adow was essentially in the most comfortable place in the world.
