Adrian retrieved the soil near the tree of life and death with great difficulty. He did not have difficulty getting permission, but the difficulty came with getting the soil from the ground. He broke two shovels of the rare tier and almost broke an Epic tier Shovel. The soil is incredibly hard to the point that even getting the shovel in would prove difficult.
He even used his Primordial and Nether energy to strengthen himself in order to get the soil. In the end, he sweated a lot just to get two buckets full of soil. He returned to Pann's farm after about three hours and noticed that there seems to be people going in and out of the farm.
He smiled as it seems that the old man is already warming up towards other people although he is still cranky most of the time. Adrian also noticed that the people that Pann warmed up towards are mainly Beast Masters or Monster Breeders. It seems that Pann likes people that have the same interest or hobbies like him, but Adrian's mind is elsewhere.
"Finally! I am no longer the slave that he can call upon when he wants something." Adrian muttered to himself as he could see some players almost crying while giving their quest materials to Pann.
"It seems that the farm has become livelier, and those people do not seem scared of you." Adrian stated.
"They remind me of you, and they are too persistent, so I just answer their questions to make them go away." Pann stated in his usual cranky tone.
"If they knew that you are actually a Noblesse then they would be more scared of you. I bet they would quake in fear with just your stare." Adrian stated with a giggle. He knows that Pann is applying Glamour on himself to make sure that he only be identified as a Greater Demon. Coupled with his superb energy manipulation, he is practically in a perfect disguise.
"Enough of that talk. Bring the soil and plant the egg already." Pann instructed as he pointed at the hole.
Adrian then proceeded to place the Spiritual Bud Egg in the hole and covered it with the elemental energy rich soil. He made sure that the bud sticking out on top of the egg is not covered with the soil as instructed.
"What is next?" Adrian asked.
"You water it with the essence that you want." Pann stated as Adrian proceeded to summon Kanlaon.

Status: The one inside it seems to be happy with its surroundings.
"Let me try and use Nether Energy." Adrian thought as he suddenly started to shower the egg with Nether Energy.
When Pann noticed what Adrian is about to do, he suddenly blew all the Nether Energy away. He looked at Adrian with judging eyes as he thought that this kid is trying to kill the egg.
"Do you want to kill what is inside of that egg? It already has life elemental energy inside of it. If you use your potent death energy, then you might overpower it. Not all living beings can handle death energy. You and that leshy brat are a special case because your bodies have been reborn to handle both life and death energy.
Others will just be walking in their death sentence if they follow you. Even those elders of the church do not casually collect life and death energy in their bodies. If you want to pour energy, then use life energy." Pann reprimanded.
"Sorry, hehe." Adrian stated with an innocent laugh, but he got hit on the head by Pann for attempting something dangerous.
"Kanlaon, give drops of your blood to this bud." Adrian commanded and Kanlaon is shocked by his master's sudden command.
Kanlaon has yet to tell Adrian that he unlocked the memories embedded in his Genesis Dragon bloodline and he seemed to get a bit haughty. He knew how important his blood is and any dragon kind will beg him for just one drop.
"What are you waiting for?" Adrian asked.
"It seems that my master now treats me as a blood bank. Very well, it will be another younger sibling that will emerge from this egg anyway if I give it my blood. I will make sure to be its role model since it will have draconic characteristics." Kanlaon thought as it gave a few drops of blood to the Spiritual Bud Egg.
All of Adrian's soulbounds treat each other as siblings but all of them only fear one which is Sirius. Kanlaon is often treated as air by his other younger siblings, but he plans to turn it around with his new powers.
"Why does Kanlaon have a smug face and look like he is daydreaming? Has he developed more emotions?" Adrian thought but he put that on the back of his mind. He then looked at the egg to see if something changed.
Monster Name: Unknown (Spiritual Bud Egg)
Tier: Mythical
Type: Monster Egg
Hatch Gauge: 70%
Current Essence: Mysterious Bud (30%), Sea King (2%), Turtle Dragon (20%), Life Elemental Energy (5%), Primordial Essence (3%), True Dragon (10%)
Status: The one inside it seems to be happy with its surroundings. It is extremely happy with what it was fed but is it snow full. Overnutrition is bad even for spiritual plant eggs. It would take some time before it can fully digest everything.
"Oh! It increased. If I continue with this, then a turtle dragon might hatch from it, but I should also load it up with Primordial energy. I want to see what kind of effect that energy has." Adrian thought as he left the egg in Pann's care and proceeded to meet with his friends.
"Sorry to keep you guys waiting." Adrian stated as he greeted his group of friends.
"Do not worry as you are our expressway anyway. We will definitely wait for you." Peridot stated but Adrian did not want to point what is troublesome in that sentence.
Adrian then proceeded to use Dimensional Teleportation to create a rift in spacetime that leads to the northern continent. They do not have an intended destination which is why he just set the coordinates at the start of the northern continent. They might find clues from the inhabitants of the north if they encounter one.
The group then proceeded to enter the portal while other looked in awe. It was their first time seeing a rift in spacetime that a demon has made. Some magicians even tried to copy the magic circle that appeared, but they could not even attempt to understand it. The runes used is very unfamiliar with them.
In the far north where a temple that faces the stars is located, a beautiful, blindfolded woman looked at the water below her feet. She seems to be floating on a lake inside a great temple as she suddenly gets a feeling that shakes her to the core. She suddenly started to get visions of things that might happen and frowned.
'',
She then sensed a couple of singularities that might defy fate for her. In order to get this vision, she paid a couple days of her fleeting life. She then looked at the lake without even removing her blindfold, but she could still see the truth.
She stretched her hands and dipped in into the lake as if she is scooping something. A portal then started to manifest in front of her as soon as she did. Blood could be seen dripping from her mouth as she paid a price for interfering with reality once again.
While the group is travelling inside the wormhole that Adrian created, he suddenly felt something strange and wrong with it. He immediately started to panic as the wormhole started to shudder as if it will collapse upon them.
He did not know if it is due to his panicked state that he saw a giant hand made of stars pass through the wormhole, but he knows that they need to escape now. He forcefully opened a hole inside a wormhole which is dangerous and should not be attempted. They might get thrown into a different world or another place that is not their destination but that is better than a wormhole cascading at them.
If the wormhole cascades upon them then they will inevitably die if they are lucky. If they are unlucky, then they might be trapped in a dimension where there is almost no chance of escape. Adrian immediately gripped every one of them and pushed them to the new exit that he created.
The wormhole rumbled as the space inside started to cascade. He immediately jumped into the entrance he made and followed the rest to an unknown location. He just hopes that no threats will be in the location where they will land.
