Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse

Chapter 4020: Farmers of Existence! II

The entanglement between existences stretched like a silver thread across impossible distances, and Noah pulled upon it with certainty.

Reality rippled around his form as something transcendent passed through the connection!

The Seed materialized in his palm with weight that transcended physical measurement. It pulsed with potential that made even the Early Veiled Shore pulse, the golden sands beneath his feet shifting in anticipation!

A message followed through the connection, the Great Usurper’s voice echoing out.

|I’ll continue paying the debt of the Seed of Existence you gave me, slowly, every now and then. I’ll send over farming-related stuff so you can work toward that dream of being a farmer. Who knows? Maybe you’ll actually achieve it.|

...!

Noah smiled at the words, not questioning how Eckert had acquired a Seed with such profound origins. Existence was vast, and everyone had their opportunities. He didn’t go around telling Eckert or Alexander about becoming an Early Creature or possessing an Early Veiled Shore...of course others would have their own chances at transcendence, their own paths to power that defied conventional understanding.

He moved across the Shore with purpose, the Seed cradled in his hands like a newborn star. The cultivation plots stretched before him in neat rows, some already showing signs of the impossible herbs beginning to sprout. He selected an empty plot near the center, where the concentration of nutrients in the soil were vibrant!

Kneeling, he pressed the Seed into the golden sand with reverence that transcended simple planting. This was more than agriculture!

”Utilize the nutrients from currently devoured lifeforms,” he commanded the Shore itself. ”Accelerate its maturity.”

The response was immediate.

|Seed of the Primordial Spirit Tree Planted. Acceleration Options Available. Natural Growth: 1,000 years. With Current Nutrient Infusion: 1 day. With 100 Drops of Early Creature Blood: 12 hours. With 1,000 Drops of Early Creature Blood: 1 hour. Select acceleration method|

Noah didn’t hesitate. Time was a resource, but blood...blood he could produce. The rapid explosion of complexity that would follow the tree’s maturation was worth any cost.

”One hour,” he declared, watching as his skin split along carefully chosen lines. Deliberate openings through which his precious blood could flow. Each drop that fell onto the soil around the Seed was worth more than entire Wheelss, containing within it the compressed essence of an Early Creature’s existence!

The thousand drops fell like crimson rain, each one absorbed instantly by soil that had been waiting eons for such nourishment. The effect was immediate and magnificent.

HUUM!

The Seed cracked with a sound like reality accepting a new truth. A shoot emerged, pale as moonlight, growing with speed that made time itself seem uncertain. The farm-like atmosphere of the Shore intensified as the shoot became a sapling, the sapling stretched toward a sky that didn’t exist, its trunk thickening with each passing second.

Starlight seemed to shimmer along its bark...generated from within, as if the tree itself was a constellation that had chosen to take root.

Branches spread with precision, each one reaching toward different aspects of existence. Leaves unfurled that were simultaneously silver and gold, their surfaces inscribed with patterns that suggested thoughts becoming real.

Noah watched with satisfaction as his newest addition to the Shore established itself, when prompts suddenly cascaded before his vision!

|The Queen of Matter has successfully completed assigned task. Heidrun has been successfully tended and milked|

|Sacred Mead of Existence Obtained: 15,000 Drops. Efficiency Rating: Unprecedented.|

|Heidrun’s Comment: ”Acceptable enthusiasm. Questionable technique. Overall satisfactory.”|

...!

His eyes blazed with interest as he turned to see the Queen of Matter approaching with a golden bucket that seemed too heavy for reality itself to properly support. She carried it with both hands, her entire body vibrating with pride at her accomplishment. The white-gold liquid within sloshed gently, each tiny wave containing enough power to elevate common beings to transcendence.

”Sir!” she exclaimed, her voice carrying the particular pitch of someone who had just achieved something they’d been told was impossible.

”I did it! Heidrun even said I was satisfactory! That’s basically a glowing recommendation from her!” She presented the bucket with ceremony that would have been excessive if not for what it contained.

”Please give me as many more jobs and tasks here so that I do not fall back to irrelevancy again!”

The desperation in that last statement was real...the Queen of Matter’s greatest fear had always been becoming a background character in her own existence. Noah reached out and ruffled her hair as he smiled lightly.

”You’re on the right path,” he assured her. ”Keep it up.”

With a gesture, he drew the bucket into his spatial storage, the Sacred Mead joining his growing collection of impossible resources once more. ”Let’s go finish the Abode first. There’s still work to be done.”

The Shore buzzed with activity as construction resumed. Many plots of herbs would soon mature, the nine original trees would bear their first fruits, and now the tenth tree, the Primordial Spirit Tree...added its own unique presence to the agricultural miracle he was creating.

Stone by stone, block by block, the Abode took shape!

The construction was both mundane and transcendent...physical materials being assembled through manual labor, yet each piece carrying significance that transcended simple architecture.

As all of this occured...the Shore itself continued to move as if it were alive as the Aquarium in thr distance churned!

|Eminent Early Living Marine Lifeform Captured. Species: Void-Touched Leviathan Spawn. Successfully contained in Leviathan’s Eternum Cage.|

Noah glanced toward the Aquarium to witness the new arrival...a creature that seemed to exist in negative space, its form defined more by what wasn’t there than what was. It thrashed once against its containment before recognizing the futility and settling into sullen acceptance.

The Crimson-Eyed Depth Tyrant, his first capture, actually shifted away from the newcomer with visible wariness.

He returned his attention to the construction, where Emperor Penguin was waddling forward with the final building block...a keystone that would complete the entire structure!

The penguin’s expression radiated pride that seemed excessive for its small form, its flippers raised triumphantly as it placed the stone with ceremonial precision.

The moment the keystone settled into place, brilliant light erupted across the Early Veiled Shore. Not the harsh light of explosion, instead the warm radiance of something coming into perfect alignment with its purpose.

The Abode of the Early Creature was completed, and its details rose up before his eyes!
