I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

The life essence that Anno gave to the shadow was originally intended by the Tree of Life for Anno to use to break the seal on his soul.

At that time, all the native gods of Angomulos, including Clarissa and Amedron, were trapped in a special space by the otherworldly gods.

The local gods all understood that the enemy's strength was too great.

Even if they manage to escape the trap, their safety cannot be guaranteed.

Unless a powerful force emerges on our side.

At that moment, Clarissa thought of what she believed to be the ancient god Anno.

"Perhaps if the ancient god breaks the seal on our souls and regains his strength, he can help us get out of our current predicament."

Clarissa's suggestion was adopted by the locals, but it was also a desperate measure.

The native gods united and, with Clarissa's power, created a 'seed'.

However, the fierce battle meant that the 'seeds' Clarissa cultivated did not reach the desired state at all.

After seeing Clarissa's actions, the otherworldly gods assumed that the native gods were about to use some tricks, and before Clarissa could finish preparing, they increased their attack power.

At this point, Clarissa could only ask the gods, including Midden, to work together to open a crack so that she could deliver the 'seed' to Anno.

As for whether Anno can use this incomplete seed to break the seal, that remains to be seen.

But as the spatial rift opened, Clarissa, who was escorting the seeds, was targeted by a group of extradimensional gods.

There was also an attack from the high god Felix.

When Clarissa broke through the encirclement and returned to her torso through the spatial rift, she was already on the verge of death.

Clarissa knew she didn't have much time left, and just then she saw Anno himself there, so she handed over her life godhood along with the 'seed' to Anno.

The 'seed' alone cannot break the seal, but if we add a mid-level god-level life godhead, it should be enough.

Anno originally intended to use the Life Godhead to break the seal he had personally set up: Death Seal Technique - Boundary of Immediate Death - Soul Crossing.

But fate intervened, saving Anno this life essence.

Although fusing with this life godhead might allow him to comprehend laws related to life, Anno has already become a god, and the spiritual laws he comprehended are of the summoning type, which are incompatible with the life type.

For Anno, the current Life Godhood is a god-level material.

Moreover, thanks to the blessing of the [Sacrifice to the Gods], Anno does not believe he needs a life godhood.

Why not return it to the elves and see if a new Tree of Life can be cultivated?

If Gloria or Elisana were currently at the peak of the ninth rank, Anno would give them the Life Godhead, allowing them to comprehend the life-related laws within it.

However, the two of them were not strong enough, and everyone else made no difference to Anno.

Melville, the Forest Spirit, is a good choice, but unfortunately he died in battle.

The elves still had some protectors, but Anno suddenly thought of the 'smaller trees of life'—the spirit trees—near the trunk of the Tree of Life.

Clarissa once told Anno that these spirit trees grew from saplings that sprouted from the roots of the Tree of Life.

They are independent entities, capable of becoming guardians of the Tree of Life or serving as the shell of Clarissa.

When Clarissa fell, Anno discovered that the surrounding spirit trees had not withered.

So Anno thought of entrusting the Divine Essence of Life to one of the spirit trees.

Strictly speaking, these spirit trees share the same origin as the Tree of Life, and the difficulty of fusing them with the divine essence of life might be lower.

However, merely possessing the divine status of a mid-level god-like Tree of Life is insufficient.

Comprehending the laws within a deity also requires a gradual process.

Everything must start from the bottom.

Fortunately, among the lower gods that Anno had killed in the war of gods, there was also a god of life.

It was precisely because she possessed a lower-level godhood of the life system that Anno had the idea of ​​cultivating a new Tree of Life.

This divine essence was just handed over to the shadow along with Clarissa's divine essence by the main body.

Shadow Anno searched around the trunk of the Tree of Life for a while, and selected the spirit tree with the strongest aura from among dozens of thick, ninth-tier spirit trees.

When Anno walked up to him, the spirit tree shook its branches, greeting Anno with its limb-like trunk.

For a long time, Anno had been cultivating under the trunk of the Tree of Life, and all the sentient trees around him knew Anno.

Little Mu, who used to follow the main body, loved playing with these spirit trees the most.

When Anno was cultivating, only these spirit trees kept Xiao Mu company.

"Here, this is for you!"

Shadow Anno reached out and placed the two divine cores in front of the spirit tree.

Whether you can become the next Tree of Life depends on your own destiny.
