Starting with watering the World Tree for otherworldly survival

Page 177

Now that the four gods have returned, it is absolutely impossible to allow Qin He's act of overturning the chessboard to happen again.

“Celeshi, that evil god of the void and the abyss is also a supreme god-level being? It actually took all of you working together to suppress it…”

When Qin He inquired about the fate of the two evil gods, he became quite curious about the battle between the supreme gods.

"Yes, those two monsters belonged to the supreme gods who appeared at the same time as the world framework. They were beings born from two adjacent planes—but now, they have become history."

Although she had averted a catastrophe at the level of a supreme god, Celesi knew that creatures from both the Void and the Abyss would continue to tear open spatial rifts.

At that time, it will be two evil god positions facing a direct invasion of this world.

Perhaps the battle for God's chosen ones will change its rules and become a war of resistance against the followers of evil gods.

"Let's not talk about that~ Qin He, you did a great job. Now Lutafya is under your control, and in order to keep the competition for the Chosen Ones from getting boring, she has decided to add another Chosen One."

Upon hearing the request for an additional Chosen One, Qin He instinctively objected. The reason was simple—

The Jotun Alliance, now facilitated by Lucia, is maintained by Dorgosos, who is actually a princess in disguise. Originally, Qin He's control of Lutafia was considered a victory over the Jotun continent.

Afterwards, Lutafia, who was devoted to Qin He, returned to the Valley of the Dead. This way, he could conquer the continent of Jotun without bloodshed… but—

If Heraheim appoints a new Chosen One, wouldn't that mean Dorgoths would have to withdraw immediately and cease control of the continent of Jotun?

Celesi was also aware of Qin He's concerns, after all, the four gods had been keeping an eye on what was happening in the real world these past few days.

The capture of Lucia and her daughter was undoubtedly the most exciting development in the eyes of the Four Gods. Qin He seized the opportunity while the Four Gods were away and directly defeated Lucia.

At the same time, Qin He is also quite intelligent.

He knew that if he went after Lutafia and then went after Youjiu and Lolina, the two supreme gods of civilization and time would definitely put pressure on Celesi together.

In retrospect, it was precisely because Qin He had held back that the two supreme gods, Gaia Umino and Chronos, did not immediately activate the additional chosen ones.

"Qin He, don't rush me~ Heraheim already knows she can't win. However, she still wants to add a little fun to the battle of the chosen ones."

Selesi understood that Hraheim also had a great interest in Qin He, this unprecedented and special individual.

Even for them, the outcome of the battle for the Chosen Ones was merely the addition of another of their kind. What interested them was the process of the battle itself.

"Oh, the fun aspect?"

While listening to the rules for adding the chosen ones, Qin He wrapped his arm around Celestia's smooth, white waist. He was about to find out what kind of resources his next opponent would possess.

"Actually, this additional chosen one coming into this world is actually to your advantage."

While keeping everyone in suspense, Celesi picked up a skewer of vegetables and meat from the girls' grill. She then took a large piece and personally fed it to Qin He.

Mira and the others were already used to such divine manifestations. Even Celestia, a supreme deity who lived as long as heaven and earth, was no different from them when she was with Qin He.

They treated her like an older sister, sometimes even. The girls would also make harmless jokes with Celesi.

Jinlong Wulu learned some details about this from Bahamut. However, seeing Celesi's almost otherworldly and beautiful appearance still caused her considerable shock.

As for the Drow Elf Zoffy and the Cow Girl Irene, who had also recently joined the team, they were extremely surprised when they saw Celestia in person.

Zoffy had heard from Qin He that he was the chosen one of the Dragon Emperor and Serethi. But she never expected that she, as a half-drow elf, would have the opportunity to witness the true face of the Supreme God.

Like most ordinary people, they almost had the urge to kneel down and worship on the spot.

Eileen was even more nervous. It had taken her a long time to accept Qin He's identity as the Dragon Emperor. She hadn't expected that even the great and supreme goddess Celestia would be so closely attached to him…

Seeing this, Zhong Liuxiu flicked her tail and telepathically signaled to Eileen and the others not to be nervous. Selesi then began explaining the rules for adding chosen ones.

"Here's the thing, Heraheim intends to find additional Chosen Ones in this new plane of existence, which is the universe you and Xiuxiu are in—that is, the Tree Bottom Universe—within the framework of the world and dependent on me."

“This additional chosen one is not like Xiuxiu, an ordinary person with no real lineage. Therefore, for her to enter this universe, she needs to meet the condition of ‘avoiding contact with men as much as possible.’”

As the embodiment of the World Tree, Celestia imbued the entire universe with fundamental laws. These laws stipulate that all beings born in the universe at the tree's summit will exhibit female characteristics.

Even among supreme gods of the same caliber, such as those from the void and abyss, only truly unique cases like Qin He can escape being torn apart by the rules.

This additional chosen one's soul must be suitable for traversing the Treetop Universe. At the same time, her contact with men must be almost zero.

In Qin He's time, women who valued their chastity held themselves to extremely high standards.

Just like Qin Xinru and Zhong Xiling, who usually wear trench coats, sunglasses, and masks when they go out. For them, there is no situation where they need to be in a room with any man other than Qin He.

Online work alone has solved all communication needs.

If it were either of them, they could come to this world through teleportation and the personal guidance of the Four Gods.

Listening to this series of conditions, Qin He felt that this additional Chosen One... was probably not much different from the girl in the Treetop World?

The only difference might be that she understands what men are.

"Once the additional Chosen Ones arrive, Heraheim will give her a quest panel. In other words... what should we call a system?"

Qin He's vision immediately went black. "System, huh?"

However, there's nothing to worry about. If Hraheim can provide it, can't Celesi provide it too? With Qin He's current starting point, many useless people with systems might not achieve the same level even after ten years.

Ultimately, it all comes down to the girl's skill. Even Hraheim thought it was just a bit of fun in a doomed defeat.

It's unlikely that the so-called mission panel will provide the Chosen One with any overly powerful boosts.

"Of course, how could I let you lose out? The moment Heraheim mentioned relying on the extra Chosen One rewards from the quest, I immediately said I'd give you double whatever she offered!"

At this point, Seresi immediately put her hands on her hips with a smug look on her face, as if waiting for Qin He's praise.

"Haha~ Of course. My Celestia is the goddess of wisdom, she certainly won't let me suffer~"

In front of the girls, Qin He once again committed a blasphemous act. He leaned close to Celesti's face and immediately kissed her passionately.

"Hmm? There's more! Heraheim said she's going to give you the power to issue tasks. You can give that additional Chosen One a very, very difficult task if you want."

"Of course, she also has the freedom to choose not to accept the mission. Finally, Hraheim will give corresponding rewards based on the difficulty of the mission."

"Furthermore, the additional Chosen One will know of your existence from the beginning. They can communicate with you—you can discuss and decide on missions together."

Qin He's restless hands had already slipped beneath the revealing fabric of his swimsuit. Seresi had secured this double reward for him, and Hraheim had even offered him favorable terms in return.

In this way, Qin He could directly reach an agreement with the additional Chosen One. Now that he had the authority to issue missions, he could treat eating, drinking, and even breathing as missions.

Even if it's not difficult, given the nature of this quest panel, Hraheim must issue corresponding rewards whenever there's a quest.

Based on the principle that something is better than nothing, we should help the other party quickly gain stronger capabilities and a higher mission completion rate. This way, Qin He can obtain a more generous double reward.

It seems Heraheim has already decided that Qin He will be the ultimate winner. He wants to give the future supreme god of chaos some face.

Already quite satisfied with the result, Qin He still wanted to hug Zhong Liuxiu and Celesti together. He nestled close to Celesti and said:

"I will receive double the reward for the mission that the chosen one received. But... double the reward is actually a bit stingy."

As he spoke, Qin He told Celesi about novels he had read in video ads during his spare time, such as those about a 100x return system.

After all... people are always greedy, especially since Qin He is a dragon. The squeaky wheel gets the grease; if you don't actively seek it out, how will others know you need more resources?

Chapter 265 The Sadistic Purple Dragon's Little Whip

Seeing that Qin He felt the double reward wasn't enough, Celestia nestled in his arms and asked softly:

"...Qin He, isn't a hundredfold reward a bit too much? If it's really like that, I'm afraid Heraheim will just stop using the quest panel altogether."

Although they all possessed immeasurable lifespans and had lived through countless ages, the four supreme gods were, in the end, still possessed the heart of a young girl—

To cats and dogs, who only live for a few decades, humans are immortal beings. The youthful mindset of humans is something their short lifespans simply cannot comprehend.

A few years is a fleeting moment for humans, but for cats and dogs, it is a considerable period of their lives.

Similarly, a hundred years is a short time for a dragon, but a lifetime for a human. A dragon that has lived for a hundred years has accumulated wisdom, but its impulsiveness and recklessness are no less than those of a human.

As supreme gods, Serethi and the others are still in their vibrant youth.

Qin He and Zhong Liuxiu will eventually become beings with endless futures and youthful spirits; immortality does not necessarily mean loneliness.

Seeing that Celestia still had some reservations about the hundredfold reward, Qin He devised a compromise that would entertain the four gods while also maximizing his own benefit.

Qin He took out a twenty-sided die, which he had obtained from the Silverfire Dragon's Nest. It was exquisitely carved from dazzling crystal.

"A hundred times is indeed a bit too much. How about... after that additional Chosen One completes the mission, I decide the reward multiplier by rolling dice?"

The twenty-sided die corresponds to mission rewards ranging from 1 to 20 times. If Qin He is lucky and rolls a "Great Success" (20 times) every time, he can collect all the corresponding rewards.

The amount of the reward isn't important; what matters is that Heraheim experiences the fun of the process. If Qin He rolls a 1, he will only receive one reward.

For the four gods, a hundredfold reward is practically an easy resource to give away. If he's demanding such an exorbitant amount, Heraheim would likely refuse.

But if he compromises and chooses the highly random method of rolling dice, Hraheim might not refuse; that's Qin He's plan.

Upon seeing this, Celesi immediately agreed to Qin He's suggestion. After a brief conversation with Hraheim, she also received his approval.

Next, Qin He can rely on luck to win rewards by rolling dice. With the added bonus of his innate luck, his luck is definitely not going to be bad.

He spent more time sunbathing on the beach with the girls. Qin He was now quite looking forward to the arrival of the additional Chosen One.

……

After moving to a larger recliner, Qin He embraced Zhong Liuxiu and Seresi on either side, enjoying their affectionate snuggling and playful behavior.

"Qin He~ Want some watermelon? This is a chilled watermelon that Mira froze for ages, come on—"

Right now, Inanna is still wearing those lifelike cowgirl accessories.

The minimal fabric barely contained the soft, overflowing waves of her ample breasts, creating the impression of her pert, full breasts pressing against the watermelon in her arms.

Qin He could hardly tell which one was the watermelon.

"Well, thank you."

Qin He suddenly wanted to have someone else in his arms, so he took Inanna's hand and pulled her into his embrace.

"Inanna, I think it's better to eat watermelons that are a bit softer—"

As a tall paladin, Inanna's plump breasts, glistening with sweat, were immediately pressed against Qin He's face after he embraced her.

"Ugh! Qin He, you bad guy, you like watermelon, don't you? Seresi, Inanna, shall we all suffocate him?"

Seeing Qin He's entire face buried in Inanna's reassuringly deep cleavage, Zhong Liuxiu immediately wanted to "flank" him with Seresi.

"Hehe, okay!"

The three beauties' breasts enveloped him almost from every angle, quickly obscuring Qin He's view.

"Meow—! Qin He, stick your head out, your communicator is ringing, meow."

Transforming into human form, Fei Xue connected with Qin Xinru and Zhong Xiling via video call.

Upon seeing a cute little girl with pink cat ears on the other side of the projection, Qin Xinru and Zhong Xiling immediately perked up... Qin He, that naughty boy, is really lucky.

"Aunties~ Hello, I'm Feixue. You can recognize me like this."

They had seen Fei Xue's true form during their previous phone call. Now that the cute swimsuit girl had transformed back into the chubby Purple Lightning Cat, they immediately recognized her.

"Mom, Aunt Zhong, how are things over there? Have you arrived in Dan Yue City yet?"

Qin He learned what had happened from Bahamut and Tiamat. Now, besides the mechanical amethyst dragon, a purple dragon girl named Volper was also protecting them.

Now that they have all the materials for the Pink Rathian and Azure Rathalos, they can basically find craftsmen in Palemote City to forge new weapons.

"Not yet, we've only just arrived at the edge of town. Let me introduce you, you little rascal—"

"This is Volper, a lower-ranking eighth-tier purple dragon. He's responsible for protecting us."

Zhong Xiling, with the projection view facing backward, almost completely captured Qin He's attention with her smooth, jade-like armpits and overflowing breasts.

Behind them, Vulper, now in the form of a dragon maiden, was wielding a whip.

The dozen or so poisonous birds that originally belonged to the Green Dragon and were treated as his followers have now all been subdued by her. As for the clothes that Volper was wearing, they caught Qin He's eye.

It was unclear whether it was from her treasure trove or a specially conjured appearance. Volper was wearing a suit of Beta, the Crippled Dragon, which appeared to be well-covered but actually contained a hidden compartment underneath.

Qin He could tell just by looking at the style. This was elite-grade equipment made from high-quality materials.

Beneath the conical hat shaped like fox ears were actually dragon horns. Her long purple hair, paired with the swaying tassels on the edge of the hat, was quite captivating.

The black cloak just covered her navel, revealing a remarkably perfect female figure.

Viewed from the side, her ample breasts, encased in her bra, and her fair waist and abdomen are on full display.

What interests Qin He even more is that it seems that Volper has made some modifications to the Beta model of the Odogaron leg guards—that is, the tights.

Her black boots, adorned with the distinctive patterns of the Odogaron dragon, perfectly accentuated her long, slender legs, making them both alluring and captivating.

Meanwhile, her thighs and hips were completely uncovered, covered only by lavender-purple lace panties. Beside the bow on the panties were Volper's storage beads.

If one had to put it into words, the leg ring that held her whip in place could also be considered one way to cover her lower body.

Besides the short sword hanging from her lower back, there was also a slender and beautiful deep purple dragon tail swaying gently.
