Novel Full Chapter 667 Spirit Eater
’The Parute Trees are an extension of Sumatra’s Transcendent Eater. Their minds are connected. So, I can state with assurance that it knows everything that’s happening on Sumatra Continent.’ Virala’s mind whirred at full speed as he analysed his conversation with the Transcendent Eater, ‘Judging by the way it addressed Sumatra Continent, it was as if the Continent is a living being. It even addressed Sumatra as an old friend.’
‘Then, if the Continent itself is a living being, how does it make sense?’ He immediately thought about Empyrean Tusks and Empyrean Snappers, ‘Is it something like that? Then, is Sumatra Continent something like a Transcendent existence similar to an Empyrean Tusk or Snapper where living beings can live within it?’
‘If it’s a Transcendent, then the Transcendent Eater should be able to consume it.’ As he arrived at this thought process, he thought of Blola, ‘If Renduldu’s goal was solely to kill Brangara, he only needed to remove the restrictions on Blola. A 10-Life Stage Transcendent Eater can devour the current Celestial Boar without issues. And it’ll only take Blola a day to reach that level.’
The Transcendent Eater’s power was the most restricted, manually so. There was some reason that made Renduldu apprehensive about leaving it alone. ‘A Transcendent Eater can revive any living being it devours. Then, if Sumatra Continent is a living being, a 10-Life Stage Blola might technically be able to consume it. Even if not the Continent itself, he’d definitely be able to devour all living beings.’
‘All Parute Trees are connected. And the Parute King Seed that turned Blola into a Transcendent Eater is the same. It’s still connected to Sumatra’s Transcendent Eater.’ His eyes widened as he realised, ‘So, every time Blola wins a fight, is he simply gaining recognition from the Sumatra Transcendent Eater to be allowed more power? Is that how it works?’
“There’s still the crux of the matter.” He frowned, ‘Through the data stored in Blola’s Transcendent Eater, the Sumatra Transcendent Eater must be aware of Sumatra Chronicles and the actions of the Mystic Paths. So, by a century, is it referring to the Fourth Major Disaster?’
‘Even though the extent of damage from the Fourth Major Disaster is horrifying, as two Major Treasures reveal themselves simultaneously, it’s still not at a level the Transcendent Eater has to care about, even if Sumatra Continent is its friend, as it so claims.’ He felt an urge to break his head, unable to figure out the reason, “Something will probably happen during or after the Fourth Major Disaster…wait!”
‘In Sumatra Chronicles, Resha was 15 during the First Major Disaster, 35 during the Second Major Disaster, 75 by the end of the Third Major Disaster, and 119 at the Fourth Major Disaster, when he died. He’s currently 39, which leaves about eighty years for the Fourth Major Disaster to start.’ He frowned, feeling disjointed for some reason, ‘Since when did I assume the Fourth Major Disaster starts sixty years after the Third Major Disaster? And similarly, there’s forty years between the Second and Third Major Disaster?’
‘It’s not just me, but everyone else has the same thoughts. But when you calculate from Resha’s age, it doesn’t make sense. Fine! I’ll come to it later!’ He groaned, ‘In any case, the Fourth Major Disaster will happen before a century. So, whatever incident the Transcendent Eater was talking about happens after it.’
“Fuck, I don’t know anymore.” He scratched his hair until it resembled a bird’s nest, “I’ll just dump this information on Inala. That bastard has a thinking kink. I’ll just sip some tea while he figures it out.”
With that, he shook his head and threw all the confusion to the back of his head, focusing on the task at hand as he stared at the Parute Tree finish growing fully as it formed a Parute Fruit and caused it to bloom into a carnivorous mouth.
Unlike the Transcendent Eater, there was just one carnivorous mouth. It also didn’t seem that strong at first glance, but Virala was content with it, “It’s a success. This is what the Transcendent Eater would be if it was born on Sumatra.”
Advanced Gold Grade Pranic Beast—Spirit Eater!
If a Parute Tree was left undisturbed for a million years, it would evolve into a Parute Tree King. But even then, it’ll merely serve as an extension of Sumatra’s Transcendent Eater, growing without a mind of its own.
Virala would have to go through the same route to obtain the power of a Parute Tree King. As he didn’t have a million years at his disposal, he focused on the power of a Parute Tree. Once he removed it from the control of the Transcendent Eater, it attained its individuality and became the Spirit Eater.
Technically, the Spirit Eater was an Advanced Gold Grade Pranic Beast. So in essence, it should have been stronger than the Transcendent Eater, which was only a Beginner Gold Grade Pranic Beast.
But, the Transcendent Eater was no different from an unhatched baby, so it didn’t conform to common sense.
Spirit Eaters were the true form of Parute Trees not governed by Sumatra’s Transcendent Eater. Maybe in the far-off future, Mystic Humans were still relevant and had maintained enough power over the generations, they could rear a Parute King Tree and cut it off from Sumatra’s Transcendent Eater.
They’d obtain the Spirit Eater King, a Mystic Grade plant-type Pranic Beast. It was something for the future generations to worry about and not part of his headache as Virala was content with obtaining the Spirit Eater, which was his goal.
Primary Nature—Singular Revival!
The Spirit Eater was capable of reviving a single existence that it devoured. Unlike a Transcendent Eater, the strongest existence the Spirit Eater could revive is an Advanced Gold Grade Pranic Beast or a human equivalent.
Through the Mystic Human Stamp, Virala controlled the Spirit Eater. And he had a target that he wanted it to consume and revive, ‘That’ll have to wait for some time.’
“First thing’s first,” He muttered and controlled the Spirit Eater, watching it consume nutrients from the soil at a gradual pace, ‘This is a snail’s pace when compared to the Transcendent Eater. But this will be plenty for my purpose.’
Slowly, he watched the Spirit Eater condense a Parute Fruit, watching it wilt at nighttime. Morning, the next day, it became a Parute Fruit once again, wilting by nighttime again. After repeating the process for a month, the Parute Fruit wilted fully, revealing a seed within as the skin peeled off.
Virala plucked it and stared at the seed, smiling in content, “A Parute Seed. It’s just as I expected.”
“Blola will be able to spam Parute Seeds upon reaching the 10-
Life Stage. But until then, he wouldn’t know that he has such a capability.” Virala chuckled, “It’s nice that he’s not smart enough. Otherwise, he would have figured out the means to create this somehow.”
‘Or maybe, the Transcendent Eater is preventing him from doing so.’ Virala thought for a moment before shaking his head, ‘Whatever! That’s not my business.’
He controlled the Spirit Eater and made it assume the appearance of a Parute Tree, thus way camouflaging its existence. He didn’t wish to reveal it to anyone. Virala then dug out a large batch of soil and poured it into a Rutham pot.
As he could carry the pot as a Spirit Weapon, transporting it was easy. The Spirit Eater took root in the pot, adjusting to the soil after he poured in some water. Now, he was ready as Virala carried the Rutham pot and met the Free Humans who had already reorganised themselves in the past month.
“Everything has been prepared!” One of the Free Humans kneeled and stated in a respectable tone.
“Good,” Virala nodded and stared at the large school that had been constructed in the past month. Well, in truth, he was the one who did the construction.
His Mystic Ewworm form consumed a large batch of minerals from the treasure of the Cooter Clan on Knork Island and condensed each mineral into a tool. He transformed each tool into a building, wall, etc., and erected them in their appropriate location.
He had granted the respective knowledge to the Free Humans. Teachers with expertise in various fields will teach the rest about it. They’ll develop libraries, research fields, etc.
By now, over twenty Parute Trees had appeared on Knork Island. Virala taught some Free Humans the method to harvest the Parute Fruits. It took significant time, especially since they didn’t have a cultivation technique to use.
The Free Humans on Knork Island will focus on consuming Parute Fruits and strive to reach the peak of the Spirit Stage through natural accumulation. And then, the exemplary Free Humans will be provided with an Iron Fruit to get a chance to become a Mystic Human.Virala could have straight up supplied them all with Iron Fruits, but doing so would have shrunk their population to a paltry sum. He wanted the four million Free Humans to keep producing progeny that could take part in the process of becoming a Mystic Human.
This way, there would be a large influx of Mystic Humans. If he wanted any more Free Humans without minimal influence on their beings like the ones of Knork Island, he would have to fight the Cooter Clan, which he didn’t wish to do.
So, he assumed a sustainable approach to the situation. In the future, he would station enough Mystic Humans on Knork Island to protect them. But for the time being, he already had the perfect candidate.
“My Deity! I have succeeded in entering the Body Stage!” A Free Human with Gold Grade strength prostrated on the ground with respect, “I can perform my duty now.”
“Your duty will be of the utmost importance, forever!” Virala stared at the Free Human, “Are you sure you’re up for the task?”
“It’s my honour!” The Free Human said with a resolute expression. He was a twenty-year-old boy with the highest talent on Knork Island, able to accumulate 60 units of Prana through food consumption alone.
After being granted Mystic Kinesis Art and Parute Fruits, he only needed a month to enter the Body Stage, ‘He’s not on the level of a Brimgan Prince, but he’s pretty close. That’s enough!’
Named Peikaha, the boy had begun building a Human Avatar out of Rutham. His eyes were closed as he expressed his readiness, not flinching in the slightest or even uttering a grunt as he was swallowed by the Spirit Eater.
Ten days later, after absorbing enough nutrients, the Spirit Eater succeeded in reviving. He blinked twice before Peikaha patted his chest, “I vow to serve the Mystic Humans with all my might!”
“Good! I’ll be counting on you.” Virala nodded. Peikaha will be the one refining the Zarzelite into a Gold Grade mineral suitable for the Mystic Humans—with the body of an Ewworm—to condense their tools from.
“Protect this place in my absence.” Saying so, Virala raced into the Dralh Sea, intending to check upon the growth of the Free Humans in the mines of various islands. ‘I hope Orakha is done by the time my Mystic Humans appear.’
He began to whistle, enjoying the immense workload he had, taking pleasure in the pressure and responsibilities that came with creating and leading a Gold Grade force. And Knork Island will be the focal point for the Mystic Humans to generate waves of influence upon the Sumatra Continent.
