Chapter 1313 The World's Tree Little Sappling
—–
As the morning came in the Forest of Beginnings, hundreds of different types of birds sang their beautiful melodies, making loud noise across the entire and bountiful domain of nature.
The squirrel-kin climbed trees and gathered fruits and nuts for their families, while the Myconid dug underground, finding delicious roots and mushrooms to eat.
The fairies attended their huge farms, while cleaning the sweat off their foreheads, while Brownies and Gnomes worked together mining magical and spirit ores in the new, bountiful mines found underground.
All the people of the forest were working diligently every day, taking from the bountiful harvest of the forest while also giving back everything they could.
Titania glanced at the windows, smiling as she saw the beauty of the new Forest, she glanced at Yggdrasil, sighing in relief.
“Mother, you’ve left behind an incredible legacy… I’m sure Elayne will honor it well- Oh?”
However, her thoughts were interrumpted as she suddenly felt a tiny, yet incredibly powerful, divine spark.
It surged as fast as it disappeared.
However, she sensed something, being born from Yggdrasil.
A small fruit, falling from its branches.
The fruit was eaten by the soil itself, leaving behind a tiny seed.
And the seed, rapidly sprouted, revealing a beautiful, green colored leaf.
Yggdrasil acted naturally and on her own, her roots moved towards this little sprout, this small sapling.
Connecting her powerful, divine roots with it, she began to feed it nutrients and magical, divine, and spiritual energies.
“T-This is…?!”
Titania was utterly shocked by what she was seeing, a small soul, a divinity spark, and a little sprout appeared out of nowhere.
And that little soul within the small sapling, connected to a completely different world.
“I can’t believe this…” she muttered, covering her face. “Planta, you…?!”
Titania shed a tear of happiness, as she glanced at the huge Yggdrasil feeding her beautiful, delicate, little sapling.
She could immediately see a bright future for this little tree.
“The world as we know it is only going to change even more…”

(Elayne’s POV)
The baby didn’t grow that big too fast though, but I did feel its growth…
For example, it was a like a small seed before, but now it was a tiny sprout!
If I’m not wrong humans would take over a month to get from a cellular stage to a developing tiny fetus, right?
I think so, I am not so sure though. That I was a mother before doesn’t mean I knew how exactly things happened inside.
I should research more.
Anyways, Elena wasn’t born at eight months but at seven months, though there weren’t any problems when she was born even if a bit earlier.
I guess this sometimes happens to people, I think one of Rita’s kids were born at six months and a half!
Anyways, after eating everything, I had to quickly go to the bathroom anyways, my digestive system was working super-fast.
“Phew…” Continue your journey on My Virtual Library Empire
After walking out of it and feeling mostly relieved, I decided to go to the garden with Mark and my daughter. Her friends were also here as well, hanging out with her as usual.
The Druids came to greet us just as we walked into the garden, bringing… offerings?
“Goddess Elayne, we’ve brought some offerings for you,” said Judith in her crow form.
“We hunted down a lot of these annoying pests, so the crystals are all yours!” Rudras said also on his falcon form.
“The children were quite eager to hunt today, you see,” giggled Jannis.
In front of me there was a pile of dozens of mana crystals, most likely from Hollows. It seems they had been hunting them whenever they appear.
“Oh wow, you didn’t really have to…” I said, feeling surprised. “But thanks a lot! Are you feeling hungry? We left a lot of food from breakfast; would you like to eat as well?”
“Well, uhh…” Judith swallowed saliva as she turned back to her original human appearance.
“Hm…” Rudras did the same while looking tempted.
They looked at Jannis though, as if asking for her permission to enjoy the delicious, processed food of modern society.
I guess their disciple as Druids might be quite strict when it comes to eating processed food and stuff, right?
However, Jannis sighed.
“You might be children to me, but you’re considered adults everywhere else, so you’re responsible for your own actions… I do believe that many of the… disciplines of old druids might feel quite restrictive, especially when our Goddess seems to embrace the modern society so much. So you are free to do as you please… I won’t punish you or something.”
“T-Thanks grandma!” Judith said.
“I want pancakes!” Rudras cried.
The two ran inside the house and happily served themselves breakfast. Gordon was there so he mostly did anything they wanted too.
Jannis slowly walked towards the house as well.
“Thank you for inviting us to your sacred shrine every day, Goddess Elayne, we are eternally grateful for your generosity.”
“It’s alright, please eat whatever you want, Jannis.”
“T-Then I might have a helping of tea with creamy milk, oh, and maybe some muffins… Hoho!”
Despite everything she seemed to also enjoy these things.
“Haha, looks like they did want to eat too, huh?” Mark giggled. “Anyways, what are we doing today? Should we attend the plants?”
“Yeah I was planning on giving them more fertilizer, injecting them some more energy…” I said. “Perhaps plant more seeds as well, there’s a lot of more free space now that the Domain evolved. Oh right, these crystals… Can you crush them for me honey? Until they’re fine dust. Let’s mix it with fertilizer so the plants get a lot of nutrients.”
“Ah, sure! Leave it to me!” he nodded. “You just stay there, and rest.” He patted my head.
“Geez, it’s not like I feel bad or something…” I sighed. “I’m still super strong you know?”
“A-Ahahah, but still, take it easy,” he smiled, quickly getting to work.
As I sat down over the grass, I saw my daughter playing around the forest with her friends, they were kind of practicing magic and also just playing.
Despite their age they still feel like little kids sometimes, huh?
Gabriel was with Katherine too, the two of them playing with spirits.
Everything was so peaceful.
I closed my eyes, feeling the waves of nature.
The spark of my baby’s soul seemed to resonate as I meditated using my Nature Soul.
FLASH!
Wow, there it is! Another spark…
Is it trying to communicate, or maybe it’s just a natural reaction?
I felt… a connection with my baby, so strong… so beautiful.
And this connection seemed to… Hm?
Wait a moment…
There’s no way right?
Hm, it still so faint, I can’t tell.
Well, I’ll one day find out.
“It seems you’re carrying a child, congratulations, Elayne.”
“Eh?!”
I was suddenly spooked by a gentle, soothing female voice.
I glanced behind me, noticing Kaguya standing behind me.
So she can move away from her tree too!
Kaguya was the Cherry Blossom Dryad, or Kodama, a new little helper I summoned inside my Domain, directly from the Spiritual Realm, I think?
“You were able to tell so easily…” I muttered.
“Why yes, it’s rather obvious,” she giggled. “There’s a strong little soul down there. Congratulations!”
“T-Thanks…” I sighed. “Don’t scare me like that while I’m meditating, alright?”
“Hahaha! Gomen, gomen!” she giggled, apologizing in Japanese.
Katherine was right, Japanese Spirits are kind of weird!
