Supreme Lord: I can extract everything!

Chapter 1032  The First of Many

Elder Silram of the Forest Elven tribe sat in his office at the top of the World Tree with a satisfied smile on his lips. The World Tree held their home planet, Ygdra, together and supplied it with the energy and nutrients the flora and fauna all over the planet required. It was rare to find a World Tree this big as an awakened planetary core, and World Trees didn't fare well with each other.

World Trees tapped into the living all over the planet, which included the planet after it awakened. However, the planetary cores repelled the World Trees, resulting in a massive battle that may as well tear the planet apart. Fortunately, that didn't happen with Ygdra.

The Forest Elven tribe found Ygdra and the World Tree after the World Tree had already spread its dominion all over the planet, filling every nook and cranny with an abundance of life. But that didn't mean the World Tree didn't have problems to solve. There was a constant struggle with dangerous mutating monsters and plants and the occasional attacks from extraterrestrial lifeforms. Several races tried conquering the World Tree and Ygdra, but all enemies were defeated and repelled. Other than the Forest Elven tribe, of course.

The Forest Elves learned how to treat sentient plants aeons ago. They were fully aware of the kind of treatment the World Tree demanded and what they could earn from pleasing the World Tree. At first, the Forest Elven tribe had to invest a lot. There weren't many members of the Forest Elves left when they first arrived – they had been expelled and were desperate to find new nourishable lands to transform into their homes – but they didn't need big numbers to please the World Tree. They cleansed the harmful substances, plant life, and monsters in the World Tree's proximity and paid with their labor. It required several years of continuous effort and special techniques to mend the old scars the World Tree had sustained in its past struggles against the planetary core, but it worked out. The World Tree accepted the Forest Elven tribe, which expanded slowly but steadily. However, in the recent years, their development and growth accelerated drastically.

"Why are you so satisfied? Is it because of the children again?" An elderly woman asked. She was also an Elder of the Forest Elves but rarely joined in the decision-making of the tribe. Her focus lay on the children. After all, the children of every tribe were their future. Without any children, the tribe would cease to exist at some point.

"I'm not sure if you can call them children at this point. They might be young, but their experience and power are unrivaled among the Forest Elves. How long has it been since the Forest Elves welcomed a Divine Lifeform in their rows? Has it been 1000 years? I don't know anymore." Elder Silram sighed deeply at the reminiscent of the past but he smiled when he recalled what happened in the last few weeks, months, and even years.

"It has been 1539 years, and we lost her exactly 1278 years ago," The elderly woman said in a light tone, but the content of her words was anything but light. She looked outside the office where some of the younger Elves taught the Greenhorns – their youngest members – about the universe, the Origin Expanse, combat, their sacred mission, and much more.

Lilica, Mika, and a few more Forest Elves who have been busy in the Origin Expanse over the last few years returned more often to visit the World Tree in the last few months. The World Tree's spirits called for the young men and women and talked to them for hours with no end every day until the young Forest Elves had to return to the Origin Expanse or their families.

But even after weeks of daily meetings with the World Tree passed, the spirits still called for the youngsters, who had all one thing in common. They were all part of the Forest Elves, who had acknowledged Michael Fang, the savior of the Forest Elven tribe, as their Lord. The youngsters were not only Subordinate to Michael, but those chosen by the World Tree were also part of the special units within the Untamed Jungle. They were part of the Super Awakened. At least most of them. Jason Kleora, the Blessed Child of the Forest Elven Tribe, was not yet part of the Super Awakened. He was on the way of becoming a Super Awakened, but that was only because he didn't meet the requirements to become a Super Awakened before. His Link of Loyalty hadn't been firm enough, and he hadn't been willing to fight the Supreme Human Alliance before. Fighting against one of the strongest organizations in the cosmos wasn't something the Forest Elf was willing to do. That was until he discovered how much stronger the Super Awakened were and that only a few of them died after fighting the Supreme Human Alliance for years. Still, despite not being a Super Awakened, Jason Kleora was powerful. He was already at the 6th Tier and had upgraded his 6-Star Soultrait, Nature's Wrath, to an 8-Star Soultrait Symbol. He focused on fighting the Lords, retaliating against the supremacy of the Untamed Jungle, and earned enough SoulStar Fragments from his kills to push his sole Soultrait to 8-Star. That was impressive, though the benefits would have been even greater if he fought the Supreme Human Alliance's High Hyumans instead.

But not joining the Super Awakened right away had been Jason's decision and Michael wasn't someone who would pursue or hate someone rejecting his offers. He offered the position to someone else, who grasped the opportunity tightly instantly.

Nature's Wrath transformed into Infernal Tree of Life. The name was contradictory, but its power was tremendous. However, even more important for Jason and the Forest Elven tribe was that Jason transformed into the voice of the World Tree. It sensed something within Jason that pushed it to connect to him, providing Jason with the energy needed to break the final barrier.

The connection to the World Tree affected and restrained Jason Kleora to a certain extent, but the Blessed Child of the Forest Elven Tribe did not care. He was exhilarated, especially when he realized how much power resided within the World Tree. It controls all lives on Ygdra and had replaced the planetary core by becoming the core of the planet itself.

That was where Jason procured the energy to push through the ranks and advance. His Energy Pillar expanded and changed every so slightly as the World Tree accessed it. His skin altered slightly, adding a greenish tinge to it. However, Jason cared little about that. He was fine being different from the rest as long as that meant he gained more strength.

Jason Kleora, one of the least likely candidates to advance to Tier-7 before Alice and the other Super Awakened of the Untamed Jungle, was the first to complete his Divine Ascension.

For the first time in 1200ish years, a Divine Lifeform joined the ranks of the Forest Elven Tribe, and it was all thanks to Michael Fang.

Without him, it would have taken centuries, if not another millennia, before the Forest Elves would have given birth to someone with enough potential to become a Divine Lifeform.

Now everything had changed.

Jason was their first Divine Lifeform, but given the events of the last few months and years, the young man wouldn't be the last…nor the strongest.

More Divine Lifeforms would join the ranks of the Forest Elven Tribe soon enough!
