I was a lord farming, how did I become an emperor?

Chapter 377 I am not a god, but you may worship emperors

……

……

The instant I touched the sapling of the Tree of Life.

Rhodes felt as if he had entered another space, where everything around him became nothingness.

In just a moment, Rhodes hadn't seen everything clearly.

However, Rhodes did not feel any pain or anything unusual.

The key is the system notification, which shows that the Magic Energy Network has been established.

Where is the Magic Network?

Rhode attempted to connect to the magic energy network, but the system indicated that his mental strength was insufficient.

Is it because of this sapling of the Tree of Life?

Rod looked at the sapling and muttered to himself.

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

Vivian, who was standing nearby, asked warily upon seeing this.

Rod shook his head thoughtfully. "It's nothing."

"don’t worry."

Rod offered a few words of comfort.

Rhodes didn't know how to describe his state just now.

Rhodes took a breath and adjusted his state.

Then Rhodes reached out again and touched the leaves of the sapling of the Tree of Life.

In that instant, Rhodes' consciousness was instantly ripped apart.

The surrounding scenery became blurry, and a cacophony of sounds filled my ears.

Rhodes felt his body float upwards, and the scenery before him changed, entering a lush green world.

This is a boundless plain, where countless seedlings shimmer with light, like emerald stars scattered across the earth.

Without looking down, Rod realized that he was standing under a large tree.

No, I myself have become a big tree.

Before I could think much about it, a flood of information rushed into my mind.

It took Rhodes a long time to come to his senses.

The connection between the Tree of Life sapling and Rhode greatly enhanced Rhode's mental strength, activating the magical energy network of the Seed of Nature.

The Tree of Life does indeed possess such power.

It can communicate with all plants within a certain range.

When it grows into the World Tree, it can even communicate with all the plants in the world.

Of course, the abilities of a sapling of the Tree of Life are very limited.

However, after it connected with Rhodes, they jointly completed the magic network.

The Tree of Life sapling is equivalent to Rhodes' cloud server. Rhodes is physically connected to the Tree of Life sapling to establish a magical energy network.

Once Rhodes' mental strength truly reaches fifty points, he will no longer need a physical connection or a sapling of the Tree of Life.

The tender seedlings shimmering with emerald green light on the plains are all Rhodes' subordinates who possess the Seed of Nature.

With a thought, Rhodes' consciousness was able to float on the plain, examining the tender seedlings.

The seedlings and spots of light varied in size, and numbers were displayed on them.

Most of them are "0", and only a few are "1".

These numbers represent their biological classification.

In the inherited memories of the Tree of Life saplings, there are zero individuals below the so-called legendary knights and high-ranking wizard apprentices.

In other words, whether they are intermediate wizard apprentices, low-level wizard apprentices, or high-level or top-level knights, none of them have truly embarked on the path to transcendence.

Only legendary knights and high-ranking wizard apprentices are qualified for level 1, or even level 2.

Even Rhodes' giant eagles and falcons are only level 1.

Thunder and Frost are level 3 life types.

Black Flame has the highest level, reaching level 6 in life.

Of course, Rhodes can reset these standards at any time.

However, Rhodes felt that these were more accurate than any knight or wizard theories, and there was no need to modify them.

"Thanks to His Majesty, I was able to advance smoothly this time."

"Your Majesty, please issue more missions! I want to pay back my debt to the Seed of Nature as soon as possible!"

"Your Majesty the Emperor, please bless my wife to give me a son."

"What strategy did His Majesty tell me about again?"

"When will Your Majesty grant me a real magical weapon?"

……

As Rhode floated, all sorts of sounds rang in his ears.

The source of the sound was the seedlings on the ground.

There are also many meaningless sounds inside, just simple prayers.

However, some of the sounds were very faint, and could only be heard when Rhodes paid attention.

Some of the voices were unfamiliar to Rhodes, but others were very familiar.

For example, there were Alse, Vika, and some legion commanders and knights.

"Do I have to pray to you even if I have a son?"

Rod shook his head helplessly.

He looked around and saw the seedlings densely packed together, all of them seeds sown by nature.

Most of the Seeds of Nature speak only occasionally, or even remain silent, since they have never really promoted prayer.

In this situation, a seed of nature that has been praying becomes exceptionally clear.

"The White Frost Prophet?"

When Rhodes focused his consciousness on it, the information appeared in his mind.

"Since you've been praying, then I'll grant your wish."

"Let's test if we can use magic infusion."

Rhodes then drew upon the energy of the surrounding Seeds of Nature and directed it toward the White Frost Prophet.

"Don't give it too much, or it will burst."

……

……

Military barracks outside the castle.

The White Frost Prophet was sitting on his bed praying.

The White Frost Prophet prays every day now.

It wasn't a pretense, but genuine prayer.

The White Frost Prophet can only gain power through prayer.

Especially when Rhodes' statue is placed in front of him, the White Frost Prophet can feel a profound connection and draw a trace of energy from it.

The White Frost Prophet hopes to take another step forward in his lifetime.

At his current age, he no longer has any desire for women or money; he only wants to serve the Holy Lord.

Perhaps after death, they can truly become legendary heroic spirits.

After a round of prayers.

The White Frost Prophet opened his eyes and looked at the statue.

"If I were younger, perhaps I could have become a high-ranking wizard apprentice."

He sighed, "Perhaps it can even extend my lifespan."

"such a pity."

The White Frost Prophet sighed and was about to put away Rhodes' statue.

Suddenly, the Seed of Nature began to work!
Immediately afterwards, a strange energy surged into my body!

The White Frost Prophet was thrown into confusion, unaware of what had happened.

However, once it is confirmed that there are no abnormalities in the energy levels and no strange reactions in the body,
The White Frost Prophet was incredibly excited!

"This is what they call a blessing!"

"This is the reward for my diligent prayers!"

Without much thought, the White Frost Prophet immediately began to digest and absorb this energy!
His aura continued to strengthen, and the inherited spells surfaced in his mind!
Chain Lightning!
As soon as the Seed of Nature ceased functioning, the White Frost Prophet immediately stood up and left the room.

He walked to the training field without stopping, raised his hand, and silently chanted a spell.

A bolt of lightning leaped from his fingertips and struck the wooden stake in front of him with pinpoint accuracy!
Snapped!
The wooden stake was blown apart, and black fragments flew everywhere!
The soldiers training nearby were so frightened that they couldn't help but shudder!
Immediately, all eyes turned to the old man!

"Offensive spell!"

"I finally have offensive spells!"

"Ha ha!"

The White Frost Prophet laughed wildly!
He, this prophet, has always been someone who deceives people with words, but now he finally has the ability to kill!
In fact, in addition to Chain Lightning, the White Frost Prophet also gained Healing, a spell that can continuously restore the overall injuries of the wounded.

Is this the power of prayer?

"The might of His Majesty the Holy Lord!"

"Hahaha!"

Just as the White Frost Prophet was reveling in his own joy, a guard suddenly rushed over.

“My Lord Prophet, so you were here.”

The guard hurriedly said, "His Majesty summons you."

The White Frost Prophet was clearly taken aback, then quickly realized what was happening.

"Ok."

The White Frost Prophet dared not linger and quickly followed the guards into the castle.

At this moment, the White Frost Prophet was even more cautious and respectful, his heart filled with awe. He didn't know what His Majesty's sudden favor meant.

White Frost Prophet quickened his pace and followed the guards into the private council chamber.

"Your Majesty."

The White Frost Prophet knelt and bowed respectfully.

"Get up"

Rod smiled and waved his hand. "How are you feeling?"

"I asked casually," Rod asked.

The White Frost Prophet reacted quickly, hurriedly and respectfully replying, "Thank you for your blessing, which has granted me greater power and knowledge!"

"Ah."

Rhodes remained calm and asked, "Do you feel anything unusual?"

"No, Your Majesty."

The White Frost Prophet answered honestly, explaining in detail to Rhodes the process of obtaining energy.

His words were filled with excitement and longing.

Rhode knew that the White Frost Prophet wanted more, but the energy of the blessing was also a drain on Rhode.

Rhodes cannot, like a god, casually summon a powerful priest with a wave of his hand.

"Besides that, did you see anything else or anything else?" Rhodes pressed.

The White Frost Prophet looked confused and shook his head.

"wrong."

Rhodes frowned slightly and looked at the White Frost Prophet, asking, "Have you stopped praying after gaining power?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The White Frost Prophet was somewhat nervous. "No, Your Majesty, I haven't had a chance to pray yet,"

“I, I am not disrespectful to you.”

"I was just a little surprised, having been researching this new energy."

"Well, it doesn't matter."

Rhodes instructed, "Next time you pray, try to feel it carefully."

"Dong dong dong."

Just as Rod finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

"Your Majesty, Lady Linda requests an audience."

Rhodes was somewhat surprised. "Let her in."

With Rhodes' permission, the door opened.

Linda rushed into the room, only remembering to bow when she reached Rod.

"Your Majesty, I just..."

Linda took a deep breath. "When I connected with the Seed of Nature, I suddenly entered a strange space and then I turned into a sapling."

"It's only the size of a palm, with two leaves, one big and one small!"

“What else is around?” Rhodes asked immediately.

"I can't see clearly, everything around me is blurry."

Linda shook her head. "The surroundings are not the point, Your Majesty!"

Linda's eyes sparkled with excitement. "The key is that I can see my own leaves and even store spells on them!"

"I've stored my fireball spell on it!"

"I just went to get tested!"

"It can be cast instantly, and it doesn't even consume my fire power!"

"It's so amazing!"

Linda looked at Rhodes with burning eyes, "Is this related to you?!"

Such a thing has never happened in the history of witches.

And the Seed of Nature was a gift from Rhodes.

So when Linda experienced something unusual in her body, the first person she thought of was Rod.

However, everyone now knows that this Emperor of the Yanlong Empire is a figure of great legend.

"Yes, this is the evolution of the Seed of Nature."

Rhodes had already prepared his explanation, looking at Linda and the White Frost Prophet.

"The Seed of Nature will continue to grow and expand as your strength increases."

“Every leaf can hold magic.”

"When the spell is stored, you both need to inject energy at the same time, so that you don't need to consume your own magic power when casting the spell."

"As your strength gradually increases, the spells you can store in the future will become more and more powerful."

Rhodes paused for a moment,

"of course."

"If you feel any discomfort or concern."

“I can destroy the Seed of Nature for you at any time, making it disappear from your bodies.”

"No, Your Majesty."

Linda immediately shook her head and explained, "I'm just so excited and want to share this joy with you."

"It is indeed a joyful thing."

Rod looked at Linda and asked, "When that little leaf grows up, you will be promoted."

Level 0 has only one leaf, while Level 1 has two to four leaves.

"Your Majesty, will my Seed of Nature also grow?"

The White Frost Prophet beside him asked cautiously.

"That depends on you."

Rod said, "If you are strong enough, it will naturally grow."

Before Roddo could say anything, there was a knock on the door.

"Your Majesty, Carlos, Lucien, and several wizards request an audience," a guard's voice rang out.

Rhodes knew that these people must have discovered the anomaly while cultivating, so he ordered the guards to let them in.

Rhodes didn't hide anything and simply explained the existence of the magic network to everyone, introducing them to the growth of the Seed of Nature and the function of its leaves.

Everyone was stunned and speechless with shock.

Carlos, in particular, never expected his strength to improve even further.

Meanwhile, Celine Saffork and the others also noticed something amiss. Rhodes asked Avril to explain to them and to observe their own condition.

If anyone feels anything unusual, Rhodes will help remove the Seed of Nature.

However, as everyone knows, such a seed of nature is no less than a supernatural item that can grow, and no one wants to give it up.

“If we can gain strength through prayer,”

Having learned everything, Lucien was the first to react and asked, "Then Your Majesty, are you like a god?"

Before Rhodes could speak, the White Frost Prophet spoke first: "In our tribe's culture, the Holy Lord is comparable to the gods."

"What, Your Excellency Luxembourg, are you questioning His Majesty the Holy Lord?"

The White Frost Prophet straightened his chest and questioned her.

Having acquired offensive spells, the old man now spoke with more confidence.

"Of course not, Your Excellency Bai Shuang."

Luxen immediately explained, "I was just a little curious..."

Luxem didn't continue speaking, but just smiled.

I was being hunted down by the church, but now I've become a member myself.

“I don’t need your faith, and I have no intention of becoming a god.”

Rhodes interrupted their conversation, saying, "All I want is for you to cultivate diligently and strengthen the Empire."

"If anyone truly needs faith, let them worship the emperor, not some god."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Everyone responded in unison.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, you may leave."

Rhodes instructed, "Lusen and Carlos, stay behind."

The crowd bowed respectfully and then withdrew one after another.

After everyone had left, Rod asked, "Have Duke Gumu and the others come out yet?"

"We have already left the Ancient Wood Fortress and are retreating."

Lusen reported, "With the Rock Ridge clearing the way and the Skyfire Legion providing support, the process went smoothly."

"And those ghouls didn't give chase either."

"Something's not right."

Rod said thoughtfully, "With such a big commotion, it's impossible that the other side didn't notice."

"They're still entrenched in Ancient Wood City, and they're probably plotting something."

Rod looked at Lusen and asked, "Perhaps they feel they are no match for us now and are gathering their strength?"

"It's possible."

"It's also possible that they might stop expanding and start holding their ground, turning the areas they've already occupied into places of decay," Lusen said.

The Corrupted Lands are a place suitable for the undead to live in, filled with the aura of death.

"No matter what, we can't let them have their way."

After a moment's thought, Rhodes commanded, "Have the White Frost Prophet divine the fortunes of Ancient Wood City for me."

"Also, notify all commanders to hold a meeting."

"We may need to change our strategic direction and become more aggressive."
