Chapter 2684: Chapter 1160: There’s Knowledge to Being a God (Part 2)

"What steps?" Stelina asked with a face full of confusion.

"Doctrine! Your own doctrine!" Gaven shared his experience selflessly. "Only by doing this can you better guide these Apple Songlan Treants. Although they now appear mature, in reality, they are just a blank slate.

Releasing them now, they will act purely on their survival instincts, akin to sage beasts with intelligence.

If someone tries to destroy their apple garden, how do you think they will respond?

Once they start a war with intelligent beings, not only may they be destroyed, but it could even have the opposite effect."

"I was reckless." Stelina humbly accepted the lesson, "I will temporarily keep them in the Marching Mountains, following me in transforming this place while exploring their own doctrine, to deeply shape them, and once the time is ripe, send them out gradually... no, dispatch them according to Lord’s territorial development needs."

Gaven gave Stelina an appreciative look and said, "When drafting the doctrine, it is best to proceed from two aspects."

"Which two aspects?"

"One aspect is the doctrine of the wilderness, allowing those wild apple gardens to thrive in the wilderness, especially in the forests. This doctrine will be closely related to the Forest Queen, as it greatly benefits the development of the forest race.

You can take this as an opportunity to communicate more with her, deepen the ties, and let these apple gardens become part of the lives of sage beasts and various forest races."

Although Gaven might not be an expert in theology, he has carried out deep research and studies on the divine domains and future directions of the Deities of Felen, especially those closely related to himself.

Only by doing so can one maximize one’s benefits.

"Even if Lord didn’t mention it, I would have done so. The Unicorn Queen and the Lady of the Forest are excellent entry points; during communication, the Lady of the Forest expressed keen interest, and stable food supply is also key to the development of forest creatures."

Stelina, born in the Fairy Wilderness, has dealt with the fae race all her life and is well aware of their needs in this regard.

Gaven approvingly said, "Your divine positions indeed complement theirs greatly, providing mutual support. Your apple garden can sustain the forest beings, and those intelligent forest beings will help you promote the apple garden greatly.

However, relying solely on the apple garden’s output is too singular. You should actively expand to other forest fruits or economic crops."

"What Lord said is very correct. I plan to integrate some human and fae industries into the apple garden, such as fairy beekeeping, human livestock farming, and vegetable planting, which will greatly enhance the diversity of the apple garden, enough to meet most forest creatures’ needs."

Stelina clearly already had her own ideas in this area, "There is already an ecosystem in the forest; what I need to do is perfectly integrate the apple garden into it, using my abilities to promote the lushness of the forest and nurture more forest creatures."

"In this area, your considerations are already very mature, so I won’t interfere too much." Gaven agreed with Stelina’s thoughts, "I have a task for you."

"What task?"

"Find rubber trees." Gaven explained in detail, "The bark of these trees, when cut open, exudes a viscous latex, which can be refined into rubber.

This refinement can create many industrial products, such as various sealing rings, and tires, for example. Wooden tires’ bearing capacity can no longer meet my developing needs."

For roads to achieve their maximum value, merely paving them is not enough; updating transportation tools is required.

One of the first things Gaven naturally thought of, emblematic of modernity, was the automobile.

Iron is available, the energy devices are also there, only the tires remain.

Previously, he hesitated to make plans in this area because it felt a bit distant, and he was wary of the Natural Gods’ attitudes.

But with frequent contacts with the Natural Gods, he found that they are not a monolithic group but consist of various voices.

There are both those conservative ones who prioritize nature and those who are willing to advance harmonious development with sage beings.

What he needs to do is to win over those progressive ones as much as possible, while trying not to thoroughly anger those conservatives, and strive to utilize every resource in the forest.

For example, the task of harvesting rubber can entirely be entrusted to those intelligent beings in the forest, letting them use it as a local specialty for trade.

The means of those intelligent forest beings might be even more unique than he imagined.

They might not even need to cut the bark of rubber trees to collect latex, and it could even be produced on a large scale as a special ability, like the Rubber Tree Treants.

Both the Golden Apple Treants and the Apple Songlan Treants have proven this point with their actual conditions.

Stelina was taken aback for a moment, then cautiously asked, "How does the rubber tree you mentioned, Lord, sound like a tree that sheds tears?"

"Do you know this tree?" This time it was Gaven’s turn to be surprised.

"This tree is very common in the Chult Jungle and the humid Court of Summer. Many fae like to use this tree’s tear liquid to make glue, useful for building houses and as material for adhesive trap webs." Stelina uncertainly said, "I don’t know if what I’m talking about is the same thing as what you’re referring to, Lord?"
