"[Dirt Block], [Dirt Block], [Dirt Block], [Dirt Block], [Dirt Block]…"

POOF!

POOF!

POOF!

POOF!

I continued turning everything into dirt blocks and then, I decided to repurpose those dirt blocks with dry and dead ground, as I pilled them all up together and then, with a smack of my hands…!

CLAAASH!

They all broken down into a pile of dry dirt.

"Excellent…" I said with a smile.

Everyone was looking at me doing these things, completely unaware of what the heck I was doing now.

"Now… I know that Magic Crystals are good for the soil to gain Mana, right?" I wondered. "So let's add these…"

I quickly took out several piles of magic crystals and crushed them, while turning one of them in specific into a big block by merging it with Earth, Nature, and Life Spirit Stones, and then, I put some Ego fragments into it and named this new block as "Tierra".

"Master, I am glad to see you- UWAAAH!"

I threw Tierra down into the pit I ended making and then filled the pit with the Magic Crystals turned into dust mixed with the dry dirt and the fresh dirt together. After that, I covered the entire mix with a lot of water using Aquamarine's help.

"I am being useful!" Aquamarine said in his Divine Beast form, so big and majestic that he ended making all villagers shocked. I guess that's where he got the fame he wanted.

"Now…! Seeds!"

I grabbed tons of seeds from my Item Box and borrowed some of the seeds of the endemic plants from here, and I decided to quickly use Yggdrasil's Spirit with this.

"Let's see… Let's fuse Tomatoes with Cactuses so they can survive in the heat. Let's fuse cabbage with these other cactuses… Let's merge these seed plants with avocados… Oh, watermelon with cactuses too? Oh, and potatoes, carrots, and onions are essential as well. Hmm, potato with carrot fusion? Sure, why not…"

I ended merging countless seeds together into utterly hybrid monsters, and began planting them as I multiplied each hybrid seed using the [Yggdrasil's Spirit] Skill which allows for the creation of seeds, though it costs tons of MP for each seed. After covering almost a kilometer with seeds, I asked Aquamarine to water everything once more.

"Super Watering Technique!"

Aquamarine sprayed fresh water over everywhere, so much that he ended raining over the entire village. The people was, however, not sad, but incredibly happy, seeing everything made them completely and utterly surprised of water falling from the skies, something that didn't happen often…

"A-Amazing! Water! Water!"

"Thank you so much, goddess-sama!"

"This is amazing!"

The dreamy scene of rain falling from the skies was so simplistic compared to all the battles I've gone through, compared to all the experiences I've had, and everything else…

Certainly, you would think that someone like me would be bored of such things, that I would constantly try to seek new challenges, adventures, and more… even more out of proportion than before. But I never thought that I craved such simplicity so much.

Maybe in my previous life, I lived so fast and filled with the desire to fight and evolve that I never was able to see these simple days, these simple moments…

The people danced around, the children played with the water, and everyone laughed and smiled.

"This is a miracle…:"

"Mama! Mama! It is raining! This is rain, right?"

"Yes, dear… This is rain… It has been… twenty years since the last time it rained."

Some people even began to cry in the floor, praying into the skies, the chief himself remained in silence while he kneeled in the floor before me, as he cried alongside the rain.

"Thank you… thank you…"

I couldn't help but sigh a bit, as I walked towards the old man, his weak body shouldn't be doing that to be honest.

"Come on, stand up please." I sighed, patting his back. "I am simply doing this out of the goodwill of my heart. I don't really desire any thanks."

"Out… of the goodwill of your heart?" the chief asked.

"Yeah, I mean, I've always thought that… If you can do it, why not?" I said with a smile.

"Ah… such a simplistic philosophy… I wish more people thought like you, Kireina-sama…" The chief weakling stood up with the help of the twins.

"Haha, don't worry, this isn't even over yet. Yggdrasil's Spirit… White, help me on this!" I said, touching the ground.

"Very well!"

Both White and I infused our very spirits into the ground, as we began to channel the power of life and nature together. The seeds below the soil began to slowly move a bit, as they began to suddenly sprout one after the other, small seedlings appeared as the rain slowly stopped, and the strong rays of sunlight began hitting the floor once more, incentivizing the plants to grow even bigger.

The entire village slowly gathered around the enormous farm I built, as the both elderly, adults, and children opened their eyes wide in surprise and awe, as plants began to slowly grow more and more from the soil, a wondrous sight.

"H-How are they growing so fast?"

"T-This is incredible., I have never seen these plants before!"

"Mom! That cactus got a weird red flower!"

"Huh? They're already the size of the kids?!"

Amidst the many amazing plants growing, there was a big tree growing in the middle of everything, growing bigger and bigger as it surpassed all the smaller plants quickly, it was a tree with branches, leaves, and a beautiful brown bark.

"T-That tree is so big…"

"What is this?!"

"Amazing…"

"Oooh, by the gods!"

"A blessing…"

"A blessing from the goddess!"

This was a Lesser Yggdrasil Seed I created using the Skill. It literally allows me to create any Seed I have seen before, by spending 100k MP, I was able to make that seed. Of course, I didn't had much MP than that so I had to wait for it to recover naturally.

White helped using her healing magic to boost the plants life and therefore, their growth, and by channeling the Yggdrasil Spirit skill into her, she can use her own MP to activate the Skill as well.

"Everyone, listen well. Take care of this tree. It is named Yggdrasil, and it will one day grow into a tree taller than mountains themselves. It will bring prosperity and life to your world."
