The [Hibiscus Seed] slowly rose to a height of about twenty meters before rising above the altar.

It grew roots and started growing taller! 

There seemed to be a natural connection between the Godly Tree and the altar. They did not reject each other at all. After a short period of contact, they began to fuse together. 

A huge amount of nutrients slowly rose up into the air in the form of a visible, golden cloud. The nutrients gathered and flowed into the divine tree.

The divine tree seemed to be nourished by the energy. It immediately began to grow.

It grew taller, thicker, and stronger! 

Energy rippled outward in circles. The energy circles were visible. 

The light emitted by the Godly Tree grew brighter and brighter.

The tree trunk, branches, and leaves of the Godly Tree all shone with a blinding light. The light turned the entire valley golden.

The [Hibiscus Seed] had grown from one to four meters tall as compared to its height at the very start. Its girth had also increased beyond twofold. 

The entire dark abyss began to glow under the illumination of the golden light.

“Roar!”

The tiger looked at the faint light in the sky and let out a soft roar.

It was not angered. Its eyes were filled with joy as it looked at the sky.

The intelligence of ordinary animals could not compare to that of the soul beasts, which possessed such high capabilities. The intelligence of soul beasts was enhanced along with their physical attributes.

A soul beast at the level of this ferocious tiger had the level of intelligence of a normal eight or nine-year-old child.

Perhaps it had never seen light since it was born.

This faint golden color that rose from the horizon was the first hint of light that the tiger had ever seen.

There was a huge dark green continent tortoise among the soul beasts. Its oval shell was about ten meters wide. It crawled on the ground slowly. 

It crawled toward the altar.

It wanted to get closer to the light.

Any soul beast that blocked the tortoise’s path immediately retreated when they saw it. They gave way to form a path for it to pass through.

This huge tortoise was the oldest soul beast in the dark abyss.

It had existed for so long that not a single soul beast knew its age.

It was at least…a thousand years old. It might be even older. 

Even the tortoise itself did not know how long it had been alive. 

However, it knew very well that it had been a long time since it had seen light. 

Right now… the light was right in front of it.

The tortoise let out a sad growl, but one could tell that it was relieved after listening to it carefully.

The altar had dimmed ever since the Godly Tree disappeared. How long had it been since the light had shone upon the dark abyss? 

The light had finally reappeared right now!

All of this was unknown to Chen Feng, who had planted the Godly Tree. 

Other than that, there was more that he did not know.

As the roots of the Godly Tree grew, it absorbed nutrients crazily and began to thrive…

All sorts of changes were happening on Earth.

The first change occurred in China, which was extremely close to Japan!

Kunlun Mountain, China.

This was the legendary ancestral land of Chinese legends. A white immortal light rose up and illuminated the sky in the endless holy mountain range, turning it into a wonderland.

Greece, the Alps.

A golden gate slowly appeared on the snowy mountain peak under the sunlight. A gentle and pleasant singing voice rang out from the magnificent palace. 

Within the Arctic Circle.

A gateway filled with lush green foliage appeared on a large piece of floating ice. It was sealed by some mysterious force. One could see a rainbow bridge through the mirrored entrance. It was a necessary route to Asgard, the home of the gods in Norse mythology. 

South of Bihar, India.

There was a Buddhist dojo called Bodhgaya seven kilometers away from the city. Just then, the dojo was filled with the sound of chanting. A monk emitting faint golden light was seated cross-legged while he chated under an ancient Bodhi tree in the courtyard.

Other than that, similar occurrences happened in countless other places.

Similar occurrences happened in Egypt, Mexico, and Peru…Godly signs appeared in places with traces of ancient civilizations.

All of these phenomena gradually appeared after Chen Feng planted the Godly Tree.

All of this was a chain reaction caused by Chen Feng planting the [Hibiscus Seed] in the altar.

Meanwhile, Chen Feng, who was the initiator, still remained oblivious to everything. 

The Hibiscus Tree was still growing In front of him.

Just then, Chen Feng heard the system’s pleasant voice.

“Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden side quest [Planting the Godly Tree]!

“Please check your reward.”

A ball of golden light appeared in Chen Feng’s backpack.

The item appeared in his hand with a flip of his wrist.

It was an ancient-looking token.

There were a few simple Chinese characters carved on it—the Clouds of Heaven!

Chen Feng knew the meaning behind those words although he only had a shallow understanding of Japanese mythology.

Legend has it that after Susanoo was expelled from Gaotian Plains, he killed Orochi in the sea and found a hard and sharp sword in its body.

The name of this sword was the “Clouds of Heaven”!

Right then, Chen Feng naturally formed some sort of association between the two when he saw the words on the token.

He looked at the system’s message on the token once again.

[Ancient Token]: A token that has been imbued with the power of the gods. It can be used as a key to unlock the door leading to a special space.

“If it has been imbued with power by a god, it’s likely that Susanoo did it.” 

Chen Feng pondered upon it in his heart.

It was not hard for him to make such a guess based on the words carved on the token. 

“However…it can be used to unlock a special space. Where is that special space?”

Just as Chen Feng was feeling puzzled, he suddenly felt a huge suction force behind him. He fell into absolute darkness without any warning..
