Chapter 1061 Talking Plant People?!

Chapter 1061 Talking Plant People?!

-----

The "temple" resembled a small church made of wood and grass, covered on mushrooms. The entrance had a huge gate for any creature to enter easily.

And once I pulled it open, I was greeted by several rows of seats and at the end, a small altar, with an idol polished out of wood.

The idol was finely decorated with colorful jewels I don't know where they even got them from, maybe from lower floors.

And it had the exact shape as... myself?!

It was wearing a long dress and holding a small sapling on her hands, smiling gently as if nurturing it...

Have my summons just made a religion out of me?

There were all kinds of vegetables walking in and out of the church, but all of them were paralyzed once I stepped in.

They kneeled and started praising me as if I were really their goddess.

"Uuhh... This is getting weirder now."

I stepped to the end, where there was a completely unique person, someone I had never seen before. A harvest familiar that wasn't within my skill's list of possible creations.

She had the feminine and cute shape of the Enchanting Lettuce girls, but was twice as taller, with legs made of radishes, arms made of wood, and a head made of a sunflower, with a cute face.

Lastly, she had long hair made of branches, leaves, and flowers. And at the center of her chest, there was a big, green-colored jewel emanating spiritual energy.

In fact, she exuded a powerful Aura, something akin to a Spirit of Nature, but she wasn't quite one either.

This being... I never predicted something like this would be born.

"Welcome back, Goddess Sylphy. We've been eagerly awaiting your return."

And she could speak?!

"W-Wha..."

"S-Sylphy?!"

Alice caught me as I almost fainted in utter shock...

The Dungeon System couldn't be that, they had to take care of the Dungeon.

And that's when Selene was born.

"Our people, at the beginning, started to plant the seeds that would sometimes come from our bodies." She explained. "By imbuing them with Mana and placing spirit crystal dust on them, these seeds would not yield normal plants, but weaker, smaller, yet smarter people of our own."

"Unlike the sixty originals, they could grow up and were much more active." She smiled. "I am one of those, named as the "Second Generation"... But even amongst my brothers and sisters, I am very unique."

[The [Dungeon System] explains that the Harvest Familiars began to also use the plants you left behind, trying to convert them into their own, of course, without not wasting resources and only using a small part of them.]

[Eventually, it was possible to create the Dashing Radishes, Potato Guardians, Missile Carrots, and Sunshine Sunflowers out of the seeds you left behind to produce more yield to be sold or consumed.]

"So that's how you were able to bring the ones I had not summoned..." I nodded. "Interesting how that's possible. It seems that Harvest Familiars can multiply each other using their own seeds, or the seeds of other harvest familiars left behind after they transform into ingredients."

"It seems to be the case!" Said Selene. "My birth... Well, it was truly miraculous."

[The [Dungeon System] explains that the Harvest Familiars have become obsessed with birthing their own, as they desired to create their own people more and more...]

[Eventually, a few of them planted the seeds of many of them together, right beneath the Crystal Spirit Tree.]

[The combination of the spirit energy mutated the seeds, combining them together into a new being, which gained a Spiritual Soul.]

[And this created Selene, someone unlike any of them, capable of speaking and growing even faster than them.]

"Since my birth, no others like me have been born despite their efforts, this is why they call me a Miracle... Or Saintess, sometimes." Selene smiled gently.

"W-Woah..." I was shocked. "This village... It has its whole history now. How long has it been since I left? To me it has been just some days since I left the behind!"

[The [Dungeon System] says that as the dungeon develops with each level, the time dilation can be accelerated further.]

[Currently, those days were a year and two months inside.]

"EH?! Even then... It still such a short time for all of this to happen!" I was truly surprised. "Selene, have you been guiding them?"

"Indeed, since we built this church that the folks have become more spirituality connected." She smiled. "We are all grateful to you, Goddess Sylphy. It was thanks to you that we were all created, and that we were given an opportunity to live as the people of these beautiful lands."

"A-Ah, well, I wouldn't call myself a Goddess..." I laughed a bit. "But you're welcome!"
