I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart-Chapter 51 - Heavenly Thunder LV1

Chapter 51: Heavenly Thunder LV1

It had taken a lot of money and considerable effort for Lin Yao to accumulate over 4,000 green energy points. Although they had not vanished overnight or reverted to their previous condition, there was not much energy left and Lin Yao was feeling the pinch.

His mood only recovered after a long while.

‘I have to think positive. The first upgrade already required 3,000 grams of energy. This goes to show that the Tree of Heaven Punishment has outstanding potential… Wait a minute. Why does the Tree of Heaven Punishment cost more energy than the Kabbalah Tree of Life…’

Lin Yao had originally wanted to ask why the Tree of Heaven Punishment had a higher level than the Kabbalah Tree of Life. Although the Tree of Heaven Punishment originated from the East and he believed that Western mythologies were not as good as Eastern ones, Lin Yao was also aware that the Kabbalah Tree of Life contained the secret of the man-to-god transformation as well as all the knowledge necessary to create the world. Logically speaking, it should be extremely mysterious. Even though the Tree of Heaven Punishment had been transformed from heaven and its tribulation, it could not be compared to the Kabbalah Tree of Life. After all, the former was only the manifestation of a rule of heaven and earth, whereas the latter could represent the world itself.

Soon, he realized that what he had was not the Kabbalah Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden, but a descendant of the Kabbalah Tree of Life. It was a Tree of Light that had been assimilated by the Celestial Tree.

‘The Tree of Heaven Punishment cannot be compared to the Kabbalah Tree of Life. But logically speaking, it is stronger than the Tree of Light. A normal Tree of Heaven Punishment is also a sacred tree that is comparable to the Celestial Tree. Unfortunately, the leaf I obtained has gone through hundreds of thousands of years and there is not much energy left in it. Otherwise, it would probably cost hundreds of thousands of energy points per advancement.’

Even if he were to obtain the true Leaf of Heaven Punishment, he would only watch it helplessly and would not be able to advance. At this thought, Lin Yao didn’t know if he was fortunate or not.

He felt emotional, and various thoughts crossed his mind. At this very moment, the Tree of Heaven Punishment was shrouded by a purple light. It had finally completed its advancement and was now blooming.

As the light dissipated, the Tree of Heaven Punishment reappeared in front of Lin Yao. It was no longer a seedling. Instead, it had grown into a small sapling about 1.5 meters tall.

There was an electric light drifting on the mysterious purple sapling.

When he saw the electric light flashing on the young tree sapling, Lin Yao’s body suddenly trembled as if he had been electrocuted.

Wrong… He had really been electrocuted.

An electric current had appeared and started circulating in Lin Yao’s body.

Due to the weak current, the fast-flowing electric light did not appear outside. Nevertheless, it made Lin Yao’s hair stand on end, and when Lin Yao’s fingers stroked his hair, electric light was also released from his fingertips during the friction.

Buzz, buzz.

Amidst the flashing electric light, a look of delight appeared on Lin Yao’s face.

‘I finally have the electrical ability.’

In ancient times, because of mankind’s ignorance, electric light had been called god’s authority and had been considered the main method used by heaven to punish the world. In modern society, although electric light was no longer associated with mythology, the power of electricity was also one of the strongest abilities due to mankind’s ability to manipulate it. It was also one of the abilities that were the most well-developed.

Although the Tree of Heaven Punishment had advanced to a small sapling, Lin Yao’s gain was not limited to this.

[Tree of Heaven Punishment (Damaged Origin)]

[Growth Rate: Small Tree Sapling (0/100,000)]

[Hypostasis: Silver Person (Due to a damaged origin, the highest level it can reach is the Descendant of God Level.]

[Existing Talent: Good and Evil Distinguishment LV3, Heavenly Thunder Manipulation LV1]

Trees also had hypostasis differentiation. The Tree of Heaven Punishment had only advanced once, and he had already upgraded to a Silver Person. This was a personal improvement. A newly-born Silver Person might not be as good as the grown-up version of an Iron Person, but their talent and lifespan surpassed that.

Lin Yao had already benefited from this and had two talents now.

‘Has Malice Detection become Good and Evil Distinguishment? I will also be able to perceive those who have good intentions now. Also, Heavenly Thunder Manipulation is not the awakened electrical ability that I thought it would be.’

[Good and Evil Distinguishment LV3: The host can perceive and distinguish the kind and evil intent that all living creatures have for him. This works within a range of 300 meters.]

[Heavenly Thunder Manipulation LV1: Thunderbolt is the Tree of Heaven Punishment’s method of punishing the enemy. Because of human worship, as well as the rules of heaven, the thunderbolt from the Tree of Heaven Punishment belongs to Heavenly Thunder and can cause a great deal of shock and damage to evil people.]

Lin Yao was happy that he had harvested two talents. Despite its damaged origin, the limit of the Tree of Heaven Punishment was still the Descendant of God. Lin Yao could sense the great powers of the Tree of Heaven Punishment.

The Iron Person, the Silver Person, the Gold Person, and the Descendant of God were the four stages that ordinary humans had to go through in order to become gods.

In fact, there were species that represented each of these four stages. The Iron Person was a human who had just entered the transcendental realm (martial artist), the Silver Person was an elf (warlord) with a lifespan of thousands of years, and the Gold Person was represented by a huge dragon with perfect physical and magical abilities (king of humans). As for the Descendant of God, the son of god and demigod heroes were its representatives. (Since the start of the Spirit Energy Revival, no one had officially reached this stage.)

Due to the change in intrinsic nature, after human research, this realm had also been classified into martial artists, warlords, and kings.

However, the higher the hypostasis, the greater the difference in combat power within the hypostasis. Thus, martial artists only had a low, middle, high, and extreme level, whereas warlords were classified into three levels: ordinary, silver, and gold. Lin Yao was not sure about the specific classification of kings.

‘It’s a Descendant of God despite its damaged origin. If it had been intact, it would have been a god-level tree. Furthermore, one can know by hearing its name that the Tree of Heaven Punishment is a super-class among gods.’

As he exclaimed about the strong powers of the Tree of Heaven Punishment, Lin Yao also turned around and walked toward the Abnormal Ability Department. After spending all his money, he had come here to get more subsidies.

“Hello, Student Lin. Is there anything I can help you with?”

As soon as he entered the Abnormal Ability Department, a staff member ran over to Lin Yao, so he did not need to look for anyone.

The Abnormal Ability Department was considered the safest place in the city, and everyone working there, including the most ordinary service staff, was of the best caliber.

Well, this only applied to the service staff and other positions that had face-to-face interactions with talented people. There were also some lucrative positions that had been internally assigned to people with connections.

Of course, those people didn’t dare cross the line. This was not because of their strong connections but because the times were different. The city might seem peaceful and stable, but this was in fact wartime.

There were stricter laws and regulations during wartime, and these people were smart enough. They didn’t dare pretend to be fools during such a time.

Actually, Lin Yao was not that sure about these things. This was the opinion of Guan Huaimeng, the receptionist at the front desk in front of him. She had met many talented people since she had started working there. She had also seen some incapable yet rich second-generation heirs flaunting their prowess in front of ordinary people. However, they didn’t dare offend talented people.

After witnessing this, she wanted to find a good boyfriend for herself. Although Lin Yao was still young, he had outstanding talent and Guan Huaimeng wouldn’t mind giving it a shot.

Unfortunately, Lin Yao didn’t think the same way.

“My talent has improved. Can you help contact the person who evaluates the ability to re-register talent for me?”

During the last registration, Lin Yao had received a total of 30 bottles of nutrient drinks, two gold combat skills, two gold resources application opportunities, and a diamond technique. These huge gains, as well as the knowledge in the Technique Chamber, had made Lin Yao understand that the government was in charge of everything in the land of China. Therefore, Lin Yao, who had gained a new talent, had decided to register it immediately and prepare to collect the government’s rewards.

Guan Huaimeng knew that Lin Yao was a talented person but didn’t know Lin Yao’s original level. However, regardless of his level, he was considered a genius so long as he had been awakened. Therefore, her eyes shone as soon as she heard that his talent had improved.

“Student, this way, please. I will help you contact the chiefs. There’s some tea and cake over here. Please feel free to let me know if you have any other requests. I will help you with them.”

“Okay.”

The affectionate behavior of the front desk officer made Lin Yao feel quite helpless. Fortunately, it hadn’t been long since Lin Yao had last registered, and Chief Shi and the group still had some impression of him.

When Lin Yao’s name was reported to the higher-ups, Chief Shi and other department representatives who were stationed there immediately ran over. Soon, Lin Yao was pulled into a room for a second evaluation.

The gray-haired old man present during the last evaluation, who conducted in-depth research on talent, couldn’t wait to speak.

“You’ve improved? That’s really fast. If my memory hasn’t deteriorated, it’s been less than a week.”
