A journey of Shadowverse and Honkai Impact 3rd

Life and spirit are related to the body and the mind. They are the two most important core elements. In her view, they are not separate things in an absolute sense. Their corresponding boundaries may not be impossible to break, so as to achieve the unity of life and spirit and complete the sublimation of existence.

The bear and the deer listened with great interest, and although it was thanks to the beautiful light and shadow animation, they also took every word that Sera said to heart, and at the same time they also built up an understanding of the vast world they lived in.

But Sera's next words left them bewildered. As newbies on the path to transcendence, they were completely lost.

"However, these are not necessarily correct. I am only an apprentice in the search for truth. True wisdom comes from one's own exploration. Just use my words as a reference."

After a few serious coughs, Sera recalled a lot of knowledge about potions in her mind. Her tone was clear and gentle, and her words were gentle and subtle. The spiritual secret code was revealed in the light and shadow. The enlightenment of knowledge was passed on to the students, and they could not forget it for a long time, as if the knowledge itself was chasing them.

Sera's class lasted a long time, from day to night, and she even changed the venue to continue teaching. In front of the alchemical equipment connected by bottles and jars of different colors and pipes, Sera watched the bear and deer's clumsy steps for a while, and then demonstrated the precise operation to them.

Mana summoned an invisible cool breeze, which seemed to give the equipment itself life and make it move on its own. Various seemingly unrelated materials such as flower petals, young grasses, and green sprouts were crushed and mixed, and then a precise amount of pure water was added to turn it into a strange ball of mud. After that, it reacted with the inherent technique in the reactor, guiding the miracle of life under the intervention of spirituality.

Growth Potion·First Edition.

Scalding hot air escaped. Although there was no fire added in the process, a lot of hot water vapor came out after the reactor was opened. When the temperature dissipated, several mud-gray spheres appeared in front of the eyes. Their round and solid appearance looked much more beautiful than before, and they also smelled nice.

At least, in terms of being able to eat it, it has passed the test.

"Remember, this is the procedure."

After putting the small and sturdy pills away to prevent curious students from eating them secretly, Sera was ready to let them do whatever they wanted. The rigid golem would be responsible for all the safety issues during this period.

Now, she is going to find plants grown in the workshop for experiments. She will not use them in the woods on the ground until the experimental results are confirmed to be harmless, so that the trees can grow quickly and no longer be ignorant.

The silvery-white light illuminates the area of ​​the workshop where potion experiments are conducted. Rows of unpretentious potted plants are filled with grass seeds that have just sprouted. Even though they have not been exposed to the sunlight on the ground, their vigorous vitality can be seen from their tough bodies.

There is nothing surprising about the ordinary grass seeds collected from the woods. Their newborn minds are ignorant and their weak spirits find it difficult to accept the enlightenment of rituals. They are a common variety.

The pills were dissolved in clear alchemical solvents to obtain bottles of liquid medicine, which were then applied to the soil of potted plants in different dosages. It was like a drizzle, bringing a touch of freshness the moment it fell on them.

"There was a slight increase in spiritual power, but no explosion as seen in the Kokoro configuration."

The charcoal pencil moves on its own, leaving experimental notes on the paper. The beautiful handwriting imprints the truth behind the phenomenon. As the records increase, the sharp-minded Serra can discover the possibility of improvement from them.

"Well, let Ulna and Winster help me look after these little ones. I'll go back and ask the teacher how else I can improve it."

109. Forest Notes: Tree Mother

It was an ordinary yet warm day, one of the many leisurely moments in the forest.

Under the evergreen trees, in an empty space with no breeze, three outstanding forest rising stars gathered together to discuss the knowledge of potions and expressed their opinions on the topic of "potions that can make people grow taller and grow rapidly".

Then, we analyzed the data provided by Serra and drew conclusions for subsequent improvements.

"Sera-chan, don't you have any good ingredients at home? You don't have red fragrant leaves or green pith grass. We're just discussing common medicinal properties, so progress is very slow."

Lisa stretched comfortably, yawned, and rubbed her temples to relieve the fatigue of excessive brain use. By the way, she complained about the various harsh conditions that Sera set for this topic.

"Oh, I don't want to either, but my hometown is really barren. I'm probably the only one who has embarked on the path of magic, so everything is very primitive. Compared to the forest, it's like a desert."

Putting on a helpless and tired expression, Sera was very depressed when talking about the real world in front of her friends, let's call it home. After all, the real environment is a world apart from the forest, and dancing in shackles can never compare to a free walk.

"However, this approach can also help us improve our understanding of the most basic theories, Lisa."

Kokoro's bright red eyes were full of energy. Sitting on the chair, she looked at the various discussion traces summarized and listed on the paper. A faint smile appeared on her face unconsciously, and the sense of accomplishment in her heart was self-evident.

"what?"

At a certain moment, Sera, who was thinking, noticed an unusual fluctuation, and then her eyes were blinded by a pair of delicate hands, and a kind and sweet voice echoed in her ears.

"Guess who I am~"

“Ehhhh!?”

The voice was unusually familiar, and it could be said that every forest dweller who had seen her would never forget it. As a famous mother, her name had long left an indelible mark in various parts of the forest.

"Lord Y'ktrasil? How are you..."

Sera regained her sight and before she could utter a word of surprise, her gentle mother came forward and stopped the girl's reserved behavior.

"Hush~ I came here to see the children who are responsible for the future of the forest. After all, as the sun just rose in the morning, I still feel a little uneasy~"

The bright pink hair falls naturally, the white bare feet move silently, and the god, whose every inch of his body reveals a deep tolerance, smiles happily. The clear laughter spreads, making the flowers, plants and trees sway with joy.

"Lisa, Kokoro, what's wrong? Don't let adults bully you at such a young age. Yggdrasil is just an ordinary tree. Don't be so reserved."

The Mother of Creation moved her bare feet lightly, her steps were natural and harmonious. In the blink of an eye, the surprised Kokoro and Lisa sat next to Sera, still sitting on their own chairs.

"Well, you really don't have to be so restrained. Just call me mom. What child would always have a stern face in front of their mother? Smiling will make them look prettier."

She had a distinct personality, was motherly and loving, treated everyone equally, and seemed to be a god in human form. Her gentle words took a long time to erase everyone's high respect for her.

"Mother... should I say mom? It feels so wonderful." Kokoro's cheeks turned red, and she didn't know what to do with her awkward little hands for a moment, so she just shouted out in desperation.

"Mom, I think you're being a little too friendly." Lisa didn't show any expression on her face, but her hesitant tone was far from calm.

The god's smiling gaze fell on her, and his silent eyes seemed to be expecting the third friendly call. Sera did not feel any psychological burden about this, but instead her heart was filled with wonderful thoughts that were difficult to express in words.

"Playing tricks on your child is not what a good mother should do."

"So what should a good mother do, Sera~"

Under the surprised gazes of Kokoro and Lisa, Sera picked up the recording paper on which everyone was discussing and replied mischievously.

"Mom, this is the problem we just worked on, but it's so difficult. We haven't come up with a particularly useful solution yet."

"This question is simple. Since you put in some thought, I'll help you."

Sera took the opportunity to rub shoulders with the wisdom of the gods, but Y'ktrasil felt that this was like a child communicating with its mother. She took the quill and wrote out a series of recipes in a few strokes, perfectly solving a series of problems in making potions under poor conditions.

"Thank you mom, mom is the best."

Although it was just a verbal address, she sincerely hoped in her heart that she had such a kind mother and wrote down the answer carefully. Sera rarely changed to a sweet tone, and helped Kokoro and Lisa break the last line of defense in their hearts.

Thus, a sudden exchange began between the children and their mother. After unnecessary restraints were removed, the approachable image of Yggdrasil replaced the great Mother of Creation in the records, turning the majestic World Tree into a real woman before their eyes.

They chatted about everything from the troubles and fun things they experienced growing up to all sorts of forest events, and then gradually expanded from within the forest to outside the forest, listening to the gentle words of the gods, letting the scenery outside the world leave a seed of exploration in their hearts.

"Beyond our world, there are many, many other worlds."

"Some thrive, others are on the brink of destruction. The stars are constantly changing, and the stage for destiny and miracles is vast."

"The world dominated by dragons is passionate and unrestrained. The savage and primitive vitality is like chaos, intertwined with powerful violence. Several dragon gods stand high above, overlooking the countless struggles on the continent..."

Y'ktrasil's tone was as gentle as ever, but the more she spoke, the more bizarre and strange the world she described became, which made the children, who could not imagine it, gradually lose interest. But she changed the subject and aroused everyone's curiosity again.

"By the way, since I have the chance, I'll tell you something, Sera."

"Well, Mom, you talk, I'm listening."

Sera originally thought it was no big deal, but the words of the god were beyond her expectations, and she couldn't help but be shocked.

"Your hometown, that vast world, is not a kind place. I can see pain and despair in you, but that is not now, but in the future, an almost inevitable fate."

"But now, I can help you cut off your connection with that place and keep you away from a sad future."

Ah... If I think about it carefully, to be able to say such words, I am really worthy of being the World Tree... A true god, his excellent vision can reach such a level.

"Breaking off contact means I can't go back?"

"It's like this. As long as you're still involved with something, Sera, you'll have to face the shadows of the future sooner or later."

With a look of heartache, Y'ktrasil didn't want to let the child he loved fall into the abyss from the bottom of his heart, but on either side, Sera had become an inseparable existence.

Without thinking too much, Sera's answer came out calmly. Compared to the distressed god, she was brave and fearless as a child.

"I'm sorry, Mom. I'd rather be like you and bring hope to other worlds."

"I am aware of my own immaturity, but I am not alone on the road to the future."

Xilin, Mr. Orange, Urna, Winster, and every life waiting for rebirth in the barrier will be my future partners.

With firm belief and bright eyes, a thin but tenacious determination lingered in her heart and shone brightly in the eyes of the god. With just one glance, Y'ktrajhil understood Sera's choice.

"I understand. Then before I leave, I will teach you a lesson, Sera."

The smile of God is unparalleled in the world, so dazzling that nothing can compare to it.

"This is a gift from the World Tree. I wish you a safe journey in the future."

What Y'k'traj'l didn't tell Sera was that although the future she saw was filled with the ashes and thorns of despair, in the distance was a pale expanse of nothingness, not a quiet death.

She was sure of what would happen in the more distant future, but she couldn't see even the slightest trace of it.

Transcendant, little Sera, may your future remain as bright as ever.

110. Paradise Rebirth

If you ask Sera how it feels to be taken care of by God, Sera can only say that it is a rote learning education.

As a god, World Tree's teaching level is surprisingly poor, just like a math teacher who is very enthusiastic in explaining the basics, but when it comes to actual problems, a sentence like "obviously it can be obtained" can make students look confused, and ask themselves in their hearts whether they have missed something important.

"That's all for today's teaching."

On a starry night, the lights gathered by fireflies scattered and fled, returning home as fast as the god's bell announced the end of class, no longer participating in the painful rote learning. It seemed that even the ignorant fairy firefly could not stand the mother's sincere teaching, and had already surrendered in the classroom.

"What do you think? I spoke pretty well, didn't I?"

No one answered Y'ktrasil's question. The three outstanding forest rising stars all lay powerlessly on their desks, their overloaded heads seeming to be steaming. And beside them, on the stack of notes, the hollowed-out quills had died gloriously, exhausting their entire life in a short afternoon.

"It seems like I taught very well. Everyone was so tired that they fell asleep immediately."

The god raised the corner of his mouth happily. He was very satisfied with his educational level. He walked over quietly and looked at the three sleeping children carefully in the starlight in the sky.

The crystal clear and delicate face, small and cute ears, and soft and silky hair are all natural beauties. Zhong Linghui and her appearance are lovable, but I don’t know who would be so cruel as to bring a sad future to little Serra.

The glory of the future is reflected in God's eyes. She gently strokes the little head of each child and quietly sends her blessings. When they wake up, they will find that the fatigue brought by the extremely intense study will be completely eliminated, allowing them to greet the new day with full spirits.

Before leaving, the gentle mother saw that the thread of fate came from nowhere, but it had already invisibly pulled on Sera, and would lead her to a chaotic and unknown area.

Before long, this child will be forced to say goodbye to the forest. However, sooner or later, the bond she has with the forest will become a beacon on her way back.

"Go spread hope, Sera."

"The forest will always be your safe haven. If you are tired, you can always come back and rest."

Yggdrasil's departure was silent, but it left traces of wind and flowers. The ordinary open space was now covered with exotic flowers and plants. The colorful colors were like a rainbow falling to the ground, and the romantic glow lasted until the dawn.

My head hurts so much...

She woke up with vague memories before fainting, and her mind habitually said a few words of complaint, but after she was fully awake, Sera found that her eyes and ears were clear, her spirit was refreshed without any fatigue, and her state of being full of energy was nothing like the previous burnt-out state.

Looking around, the forest is refreshing and sweet in the morning. Dewdrops flow outward along the soft veins of flowers and leaves. The inadvertent drops bring a tiny but beautiful ray of light. The fleeting white is like the luster of a gem. Although it disappears suddenly, it also leaves a mark in memory and time.

"Oh, Master Sera, you're awake now."

The voice of an old but vigorous person was heard, accompanied by a light fragrance. The teacher who taught Lisa had an ageless face. He smiled and in addition to teaching today, he also brought breakfast for everyone.

"Teacher Walter."

"Sorry, I won't be attending class today. After all, there are still things waiting for me to deal with."

"Okay, I'll tell Lady Lisa and Lady Kokoro. But before you go, please have some breakfast and drink some floral tea to get the new day off to a great start."

The charred buns were crispy and lightly sweet, the warm scented tea had an elegant fragrance, the delicious taste flowed from the tip of the tongue into the heart, and also brought a seemingly endless vitality to the body. After chewing slowly, Sera nodded in relief and left, with the thriving forest and the rich green land behind her.

In reality, the spring light lazily shone down on the woods shrouded by the barrier, bringing some nourishing vitality to the newly born home, but compared to the rich scenes Sera had seen, this place was still too barren.

However, Sera had no doubt that this place would prosper and bring new hope to life, just like the forest.

The first node of the barrier is one's own workshop, and when the second node is established and perfected, the barrier can truly be prefixed with the word "big".

In the hazy early morning, in the foggy reality, breathing the not-so-fresh air, Sera came to an oak tree and carved dense runes on it.

The mana patterns are as elegant as clouds in the sky and as vigorous as the scales of a giant dragon. They are connected like flowing water, and they are lined up as if they have life, moving to all parts of the tree. It doesn't take long for this best-growing oak tree to become the most beautiful tree in the forest.

?

The oak tree's meager spirit was full of question marks. The itchiness all over its body made it feel particularly novel, but unfortunately it had no hands to scratch, so it could only bear it stupidly. Then, Sera's question rang in its consciousness.

"A home needs a tree as a second node. It means responsibility and also a blessing."

"As the strongest tree in the area, are you willing to dedicate yourself to the future and everyone else?"

Sera's voice is clear and pleasant, and the tone of her chant breaks through all the constraints in reality, connecting her true heart with the oak tree, listing all the responsibilities, and condensing into an illusory and ethereal contract.
