Chapter 708 Root Network

Chapter 708 Root Network

Danny was just as surprised and disgusted about some of the things he learned about the Will and the Achievement Shop.

"You can purchase the races that sought asylum...Isn't that slavery?" Michael asked while Danny continued raging on.

[So they sought asylum in the Origin Expanse, only to be sold off to some disgusting perverts?!? Where is the logic? Justice, where are you?!]

The World Serpent laughed, or the brothers presumed that it was laughing.

[It is universally known that the Will is not fair. Maybe not in a backwater galaxy, but everyone knows it. The racial debts and the Will's conditions are part of the responsibilities you will have to carry if you accept the War Rune. Nothing is forced upon you. You can still reject the War Rune by not entering the Origin Expanse in the first 24 hours after manifesting it. The Will doesn't force you to agree to its conditions. However, by entering the Origin Expanse, you accept them. It is as simple as that.]

The World Serpent hissed again.

[That was enough talking for a few months. Don't bother me. If you need my help to extract another Curse, call me. Other than that...you can use my Seals. I don't care. Don't get killed. It would be annoying to search for another–...]

The World Serpent didn't finish the last sentence. It disappeared again and deactivated the Serpent Seals.

"But you haven't answered my other questions yet," Michael grumbled alone in his room.

He secretly hoped his brother would say something, but Danny was silent.

His mind felt empty all of a sudden. It felt weird and unfamiliar. Michael chuckled lightly.

"I would feel lonely after I've been alone for so long. Sharing my mind with two weirdos sure is different."

However, the area around the Greater Nature Spirit was the most affected. At this point, the Greater Nature Spirit accelerated the growth of all life tens of kilometers around it. Its root network stretched even farther, reaching into the Savannah Region and the Zentika Empire's plains.

Michael had to start extracting the chaos in the chaos-infested land that separated the Zentika Empire from the Untamed Jungle because the Greater Nature Spirit was harmed by the chaos infesting its roots. The environment changed wherever the Greater Nature Spirit's root network reached. More monsters nestled in range of its root network, and the flora spread wildly as well. It felt like the border to the Savannah Region was being adjusted as the Untamed Jungle expanded – stimulated by the Greater Nature Spirit.

Michael didn't really mind the changes, but he willed the Greater Nature Spirit to spread deeper into the Zentika Empire and the Untamed Jungle rather than pushing the Savannah Region aside. The Valyrs were their allies, cushion, and the reason Michael could implement the trading cycle.

The trading cycle earned Michael far more than the Agriculture Project. But that wasn't surprising. After all, Michael used the needs of five races and their massive pile of supplies to pay a low surcharge to gain massive profits. He felt a little bit like a scumbag for taking advantage of the Valyr, the Forest Elves, and the members of the Tritan Alliance, but it was not like he was asking for a huge overpay.

He paid the market price for their goods and sold them at the market price as well. Michael didn't ask for more. After all, he earned more than enough that way already

The massive profits, however, disappeared faster than Michael had expected. Preparing the materials for his monsters' evolutions drained his wealth faster than anything.

But the investment was worth it. Michael talked with Tatjana for a long time about the monsters' evolution paths and determined that their evolution would help his territory in every way.

Michael called the attendants to search for Tatjana and bring her to the Ranch, but she was already there when he arrived.

Tatjana noticed Michael's arrival and smiled from one ear to another.

"Did you bring it?" She asked, her eyes glimmering brightly.

"Yes," He nodded, "I'm ready to evolve some monsters!"

"Yay~"
