Rebirth of Martial God

A dazzling light suddenly erupted from the maternal tree.

The thick branches shook slightly, making the green fog of the law of life that had materialized around the trunk ripple.

"Ahhh."

A sound like a sigh came from the tree.

It sounded like a soul had just slowly woken up from a deep slumber.

"Look, the maternal tree has come to life!"

"Good heavens! It's waking up!"

"The legend was true. The maternal tree would really wake up one day!"

The members of the wood puppet race were so excited that tears streamed down their faces as they looked at the maternal tree.

"Mother! Welcome back!"

"We want to give you our most sincere welcome!"

Countless members of the wood puppet race knelt down on the spot and kept kowtowing to the maternal tree.

"What happened?"

Even the eight governing gods were shocked at this unexpected development.

"I can't remember a time the maternal tree had ever been awake.

Why is it suddenly awake?"

a governing god exclaimed, shock written all over his face.

Austin was also just as surprised, gazing at the tree.

As he looked, an old face slowly started to emerge from the tree trunk.

Bark-like wrinkles covered its face.

Slowly opening, its eyes beamed with the dazzling green light.

Then it turned to Austin.

"Young man, were you looking for me?"

It was talking now.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the tree spoke, space and time shook violently. A great amount of life energy came from the tree, spreading out far and wide.

"The maternal tree has shown itself!"

"It truly is awake!"

Clamor filled the air, with the wood puppet race kneeling down and pandering to it in desperation.

"Mother!"

The eight governing gods of the wood puppet race also knelt down.

Even with their lofty stations, they themselves had grown from this very tree.

As their mother, it deserved their utmost respect.

"This consciousness seems to have come down from the top of the tree just now."

Austin was a bit confused.

His sp

im was both powerful and mysterious. Even if he made a move, he would not be able to control it.

"Great!

I'll wait for you here.

You nine set off right now.

Be sure to bring back what I need!"

The maternal tree looked a little excited when Austin agreed with its plan.

"I have another request.

In addition to the mind power, I also want to learn the secrets of the law of life from you,"

Austin suddenly put in another request.

He could tell that he had something to barter with now. The consciousness seemed to be desperate for whatever it was it wanted from the Longevity Valley. He could use that.

"Young man, you're overreaching.

This is an excessive demand!"

The maternal tree turned angry.

"Please think it over.

What I am asking for is quite simple, the mind power and the law of life.

If you don't agree, our deal is over,"

Austin said calmly.

"Brat, you've gone too far!

How dare you try to bargain with our maternal tree?"

The eight governing gods were just as furious, now that Austin was disrespecting the maternal tree.

Austin smiled, saying nothing as he stared at the maternal tree.

He was sure that it would definitely grant his request, given its own desperation.

"All right, young man, I agree."

Sure enough, the maternal tree agreed after giving it some thought.
