Brother Chen nodded in agreement with Sister Ye's proposal, acknowledging the reality of their situation. "Indeed, without the necessary technicians, repairing the jump drives is beyond our capabilities."
"We must accept that we are stranded here for the foreseeable future. However, let us not view this as a setback, but rather an opportunity to make the most of our circumstances."
He turned to Sister Ye, curiosity evident in his tone. "But how do you plan to proceed with the Plane Development Plan? We've lost connection with the Eternal God Tree, and we don't have the resources to sustain ourselves for long."
Meanwhile, Captain Rhea listened intently to the discussion between the two official War Lords, refraining from interjecting.
Despite being only a Demi-God and not even an apprentice War God, she recognized the potential opportunities that lay before her.
As she silently observed, "Even if most of the meat was eaten by these bigwigs," she thought to herself, "the remaining soup left behind by them is enough for me to improve my strength."
"Should I perform well, there may be an opportunity for me to become their direct subordinate in the future." Even if she became a True God, she still wants to serve under one of them.
This is due to the hierarchy within True Gods, which ranges from Level 1 to 20. According to her assessment, the real bodies of both Sister Ye and Brother Chen are likely to be beyond Level 10.
A newly became God like her without any background is nothing but a larger ant, only by becoming one of their subordinates can she maintain her status.
Sister Ye was unaware of Rhea's thoughts, and even if she had known, she wouldn't have cared about a Demi-God's concerns, she smiled sensing the weight of Brother Chen's question.
With a subtle gesture, a small seed appeared in her hand, shimmering with vitality. The seed pulsed with energy, as it floated above her palm, the air around them grew warmer, more alive.
Life itself seemed to respond to the seed as if the planet had been waiting for this moment.
From the barren soil, lush grass and vibrant vines began to sprout, growing at an astonishing rate. Within seconds, the once desolate land transformed into a paradise of greenery.
Flowers bloomed, trees took root, and a forest began to stretch across the landscape, revitalizing the planet before their eyes.
Within moments, kilometers of desolate land had been revitalized. The crew watched in awe as the miraculous growth unfolded before them, the speed of the transformation increasing with each passing moment.
Watching the greenery continue to spread, Sister Ye's smile widened, her eyes shining with satisfaction. "How?" she mused, with a gentle gesture, she held up the seed in her hands. "Is this enough?"
As Brother Chen and Captain Rhea observed the seed in Sister Ye's hand, a sense of recognition washed over them.
They knew immediately what it was: a Seed of the Divine Spirit Tree, created from the trace origin of the Eternal God Tree itself.
In ancient times, their ancestors used these divine seeds as a powerful tool in the initial stages of developing the God Realm, which they used to conquer other planets and star systems.
These seeds contained powers and abilities similar to the Eternal God Tree, making them invaluable assets in shaping the destiny of the entire world.
As time passed and the strength of the Eternal God Tree and the War Gods grew, a shift occurred in their approach to plane development.
Faced with the allure of greater power and resources, they became increasingly aggressive, resorting to plundering the plane's origin and exploiting its indigenous people and resources.
In contrast to the slow and deliberate process of using the Seeds of the Divine Spirit Tree, this new approach prioritized speed and efficiency, allowing them to rapidly expand their influence and consolidate their power.
Sister Ye's eyes shimmered with a calm certainty. "My path to Godhood has always been different," she explained, her voice serene.
"While many War Gods pursue power through plundering and destruction, I believe in a more sustainable, harmonious approach. By nurturing the life of this world, we can draw on its strength without sacrificing its future."
"Once the Divine Spirit Tree reaches maturity, it will establish a connection with the Eternal God Tree, and we'll have access to all the resources we need."
She paused, allowing her words to sink in before continuing. "Though this path may be slower and more challenging, I believe it is ultimately more sustainable and fulfilling."
With a nod of understanding, Brother Chen offered his support to Sister Ye. "Do as you see fit," he spoke, his tone resolute. "I will stay with Little Lena, guarding her. Call me if you need any help." With those words, his body flickered and disappeared, heading toward the central area of the ship where they had left Lena.
Lena, the daughter of the Alliance President, it was upon the president's request that he and sister Ye accepted this mission to send the injured Lena back to Alliance Headquarters for treatment.
Because it was a rescue mission, they each condensed clones to protect her, but what they didn't expect was to be intercepted on their way back by a Nightmare God.
Brother Chen felt that he really should appreciate the foresight ability of the president, if not for him asking them to send their clones, today would have been a different story.
Sister Ye, now alone with Captain Rhea, infused the seed in her hand with her divine power.
The seed pulsed and absorbed the energy, swelling with vitality. As she guided it into the soil, the small seed began to glow and burrowed deep into the planet's crust, growing at an astonishing rate.
Roots shot downward, penetrating the very core of the planet, while a towering trunk broke through the surface, growing taller and more majestic by the second.
Within minutes, the once-tiny seed had become a colossal tree, its branches stretching toward the sky and its roots delving deep into the planet's origin.
The speed of growth was astonishing, surpassing any natural phenomenon witnessed before.
It seemed as though time itself had been accelerated to millions of times its normal pace.
With each passing moment, the Divine Spirit Tree shot upwards, its tender shoots reaching toward the sky.
Driven by the divine power and the power from the core it had absorbed, the seedling rapidly grew in size, growing from one meter tall to five meters in the blink of an eye.
Its trunk thickened, its branches extending outward in all directions, as it continued to reach for the sky, basking in the warm glow of sunlight and drawing in the massive energy it provided.
The tree's roots delved deeper and deeper into the planet, tapping into the very essence of its core.
From fifteen meters to fifty to a hundred, and beyond, it stretched towards the heavens with unwavering determination.
The crew watched in awe as the Divine Spirit Tree rapidly grew from a modest seed into a majestic giant, dominating the landscape with its imposing grandeur.
"This is just the beginning," Sister Ye said, watching the transformation unfold with satisfaction.
Captain Rhea, still marveling at the sight, turned to her. "Excellency, with this tree, we'll have a chance to rebuild. But what should we do in the meantime? We can't sit idle."
This was just the beginning.
