I Don't Agree to the Terms-Chapter 598 - 325: How Do You Also Have Child Skill?

"This thing... how should I handle it?"

After the daily observation of the great wasteland, Gu Shanhai looked at a large clump of gel-like fluid in his hand.

This thing was the divine part of the Spiritual Body, which he had already taken away, and it was of no use to leave it for Rein and the others.

Although the spirit was still in the process of becoming divine and not a complete deity, this half-divine part had indeed successfully transformed.

"Otherwise, why not transplant it?" Gu Shanhai considered whether to put it into his body to adapt in advance? After all, he would also have to take the power of the God of Destiny’s End.

"Never mind, don’t just stuff things into your body for no reason, it can lead to problems." Gu Shanhai quickly dismissed this idea.

He was left with only an outer skin now; if he stuffed such a thing inside, he would probably start glowing brightly.

"Eh?! Wouldn’t that mean I could have a sharp gleam in my eyes, a chill flashing by." Gu Shanhai suddenly realized the temptation was somewhat strong.

"That way, I could infiltrate the protagonist’s camp even easier, since I know all the supporting character’s skills, I’m qualified to be a bystander, just following along with shock will do."

Fortunately, Gu Shanhai was not foolish. He suppressed his own impetuous thoughts, mainly because there was no need to waste such a good thing for a pair of shimmering eyes.

Well, as long as he obtained the Divine Relics of the God of Destiny’s End, he would also possess the corresponding Divine Power, and he would likely be able to make his eyes sparkle.

So there was no need to waste this source-less half-divine gel-like fluid.

"The best method is to make it into a Spirit Plant."

Gu Shanhai’s idea was simple; this half-divine gel-like fluid was the closest thing to a deity, probably even closer than a Saint, since a Saint hadn’t become divine, while the gel-like Spiritual Body had, only one step away from being a deity.

"What a great substance, if it’s not made into a Heaven and Earth Immortal Root Spirit Plant, wouldn’t that be a waste."

The so-called Immortal Root Spiritual Plants naturally included Yellow Li, Jianmu, Flat Peaches, and the like, but which one to choose for cultivation was something Gu Shanhai needed to consider carefully.

As for how to cultivate it, that was simple: just rip it off.

He didn’t actually have these Immortal Root Spiritual Plants; saying that he chose one wasn’t accurate—it was more that he planned to select a good effect and then just name it.

"Why not choose the phoenix tree?" Gu Shanhai thought.

He had his reasons for choosing the phoenix tree: within the Four Saints Beasts System, he still lacked the Vermilion Bird and the Black Tortoise. If he had a phoenix tree, then he could create a Vermilion Bird in some world.

Or even more directly, he could breed it from this phoenix tree.

As for the fact that it is the phoenix that perches on the phoenix tree, that naturally was put aside by Gu Shanhai; what he was doing wasn’t a real phoenix tree, just a knockoff with the same name.

"Just using this thing to make a Vermilion Bird seems like a bit of a waste."

Whether it was the Azure Dragon or the White Tiger, they were both developed for multi-purpose use. To waste such a good thing for just a Vermilion Bird didn’t seem worth it.

Definitely useful, but to do it for that thing would be a big loss.

"So to bring out its maximum value, I need to choose carefully."

"Being ’source-less’ is a huge flaw for deities, but in my hands, I can mold it into all sorts of different things."

"The phoenix tree option can be crossed off; if I’m going to do it, do something big!"

Various effects kept surfacing in Gu Shanhai’s mind.

"I’ll choose Jianmu then!"

The Vermilion Bird isn’t urgent; he could switch to something else to create later, but if he wanted to go big, naturally, he had to be ruthless.

If it really succeeded this time, he might even wear another disguise.

"Jianmu, towering without branches, with nine knots, nine roots below, its seeds like hemp, its leaves like thorny blades."

"Its form is like an ox, its bark like strings, similar to tassels, with yellow snakes. Its leaves are like netting, its fruit like circular clubs, and its wood like rough drafts."

"With green leaves, purple stems, black flowers, and yellow fruit, below it, there is no sound, no shadow when standing."

Soon, an image of Jianmu was sketched out by Gu Shanhai, followed by the transformation of the half-divine fluid.

"Wanting too much, the stuff wasn’t enough."

Gu Shanhai wanted to combine the bronze divine tree unearthed from Sanxingdui with the towering Jianmu, with branches, leaves, flowers, fruits, birds, beasts, hanging dragons, Divine Bells, and more.

But in the end, it got stuck at the beginning.

So the Jianmu remained at the first step, now just a seed.

"Dreams are plump, reality is skinny." Gu Shanhai was somewhat amused yet didn’t give up.

A seed state Jianmu was actually the most suitable for him; although it had nothing but a framework, it was precisely because of this framework that Gu Shanhai could slowly fill in the luxury version of the bronze divine tree Jianmu.

"Let’s plant it first and then nurture it slowly."

At first glance, his Jianmu seemed to be crafted faster than his planned Spirit Plants; he completed it in less than half an hour, but it was not actually so, his Jianmu was just an empty shell. He was embarking on a long-term plan, just like creating a new folder.

The Spirit Plants, in contrast, would be finished products upon completion. Otherwise, if they were just empty shells, he could have finished them now too.

After planting it, Gu Shanhai only felt a surge of Divine Power continuously flowing out.
