The moment we logged back in the game- I mean, the other world now, I felt like we were back home as well. We were greeted not only by the pretty nigh sky filled with stars and the moon, but the surrounding forest seemed to have changed… I do remember it being bustling with trees, but now it was like ten times as massive!
Not just trees, all matter of colorful flowers, herbs, and mushrooms were popping everywhere. The forest was also expanding.
By merely sharing my senses with my tree body, I instantly recognized what was happening. It was all thanks to… me! My own body roots were expanding into the ground slowly, and the more they expanded into the faraway land, the more nature kept growing everywhere constantly. The forest had expanded a lot already!
[Welcome Back, Planta!]
[Your [Yggdryad's World Tree Seedling (Divine Grade): Level 3] has grew ten meters larger, and its roots have expanded over fifty meters through the underground!]
[The Forest of Beginnings, your [Territory] has expanded!]
[You're generating large quantities of Mana and Spirit Energy, the many spirits of the forest, alongside all of the flora and fauna had been enhanced!]
[Fauna reproduction and growth rate has been increased by +50%!]
[All Spirits and other Intelligent Inhabitants of the Forest of Beginnings are growing stronger! Their growth speed and growth rate has been increased by +50%!]
[All of your Territory inhabitants seem to be rather happy!]
[You have collected +6340 Community Points!]
[You can use Community Points to improve your {Territory}!]
[Your influence as a World Boss is expanding, many beings fear you, and others seem to see you as a new goddess!]
[You have collected +232 World Boss Points!]
[You can spend World Boss Points to exchange for amazing rewards in the {World Boss Store}!]
"Oh wow, I've got quite a lot to do, don't I?" I sighed. "I need to manage the territory better and also see what I could get in the World Boss Store while I am at it… Probably the entire Player base knows I am a World Boss now. I just hope nobody is planning any funny business for now."
"Guider Spirit are you there?" I called to my spirit, quickly summoning Belle as well. "{Summon Familiar}!"
A magic circle appeared in front of me, as Belle was teleported to my side.
She was enormous and fluffy! After her latest evolution she got as big as a truck, and now she can even evolve further… I am kind of afraid of making her evolve right now to be honest, but it should be something I should do soon anyways.
"Belle! How are you doing? Sorry for logging in so late." I sighed, giving her head pats, and kissing her forehead.
"Meeeehheee!" She seemed happy, licking my entire face.
I quickly decided to ride over her back and move across the forest, quickly making my way towards the village that I had built below the shade of my tree body.
"Ah, you're finally back!" The Guider Spirit reprimanded me.
"Huh? Why are you acting as if I was gone for weeks? It has only been a day!" I sighed.
"I guess it has been that little time. So much happened that I am having trouble getting everything in my data well stored. So anyways, are you finally ready to increase your territory defenses? I think you've got quite a generous sum of Community Points now!" He said.
"I have the feeling that in the future we might get attacked by outside forces, you have to take advantage of the Territory Management system!"
"I know, I know! I am not going anywhere for now- Well not really, I'm going somewhere. I just want to meet up with my friends. We'll be making a guild first though." I said with a smile.
"Oh right! You wanted to do that. Well, it would be better if we hurry up with that." The Guide Spirit said. "The faster you get a guild the better. You can enjoy a lot of benefits there."
"I see! Alright, we're here." I looked into the village I had built yesterday, it was slightly larger than I remember it, and there was even more people this time around. A lot of fairies had decided to move in here while the kingdom was being reconstructed, apparently.
"Uwaah, she's prettier than I remember!"
As I reached the village I was swarmed by my inhabitants. Brownies, Gnomes, Fairies, Squirrel-kin, and what seemed to be Myconid, mushroom people! These were new people I had not seen before! Just where did these guys came from?
"Hello everyone, how is your night going?" I greeted everyone happily, blessing them with my aura of healing and spiritual energy, which made them feel at ease at my side. This was probably an extension of my "Divinity" I believe.
"Lady Planta! You're finally back! Great! We've created a Council of Chiefs!" Said Acorn, rushing to my side and hugging my belly. He was as adorable as ever!
"Acorn! Is that so?" I wondered.
"Yeah! My grandpa, the squirrel-kin chief, the gnome and brownies chief, Queen Titania, and our new friend, the chief of the Myconid!" Acorn presented me an old Myconid, a mushroom person similar to the Mushroom Brigade.
However, he looked thinner and older, filled with wrinkles as if he was a dehydrated mushroom. His eyes seemed very tired and he had a long white beard that covered his entire face. He was holding himself barely by using a cane.
"It is a pleasure to meet Lady Planta, the Queen of our Forest!" He said happily.
"Y-You're the Myconid Chief? Nice to meet you as well sir!" I said, giving him a gentle handshake. "I am honestly surprised, where did you all came from?"
"Oh, we came here just half a day ago! Our tribe has been living in the underground area of this forest, hiding from the surface and monsters for many generations. Some of my children seem to have seen you valiantly fighting to protect the entire forest." He said.
"After learning you became the new Heart of Nature and Spirits, we've decided to walk towards the surface to see her majesty's grand existence. We are here to serve you, Lady Planta."
The old Myconid and the rest of his tribe, which were around a hundred, all kneeled before me, offering me their loyalty.
[The [Myconid Tribe] has joined your [Territory]!]
