What's wrong with me, a mage, loving to farm?

Chapter 340. The Revolving Sun and Moon

Magic is a magical energy that can turn the mundane into the extraordinary—it can even merge with wondrous things to create entirely new and unimaginable phenomena.

What now lay before Kroya were thorns, growing tenaciously and appearing very haphazard, born from the world's tenacious will to survive, which had been tainted by magic and transformed by the magic's changes.

Thorns are generally not very aesthetically pleasing; they're haphazard and careless, usually only used for fences. But the tips of these thorns are transparent crystals, giving them a fragile, translucent beauty amidst their haphazard appearance.

【The thorns of life】.

It's a very simple name, but it contains the most essential and purest vitality of this world, which is why it is displayed in the clear form of crystal.

Kroya, who was a potion master after all, knew at a glance that if these things were ground into powder and processed, they would be even more effective than the Fountain of Life.

After all, this is a thorn that bursts forth from a tenacious and upward-striving world, and its value is simply unimaginable.

"The Holy Spring Merchant Guild really doesn't know how to conduct a thorough survey. Did they just inspect the resources and spirituality of this world and leave?"

Kroya couldn't help but mutter a few words.

He didn't know he was right. The Holy Spring Merchant Guild traded so many different worlds every moment that a small world like this could be scanned with a scanner and that would be it.

After all, there are very few planes that can produce such a tenacious will, and even the Holy Spring Merchant Guild cannot possibly examine every single one in detail.

He looked at the thorns with a joyful gaze.

"what?"

Upon closer inspection, Cloa suddenly realized that this might not be the whole surprise.

Because he sensed a wondrous imprint, a natural imprint formed by those crystal thorns—

【The Thorns of Life (A Resilient Imprint)】

This magical plant is composed of a powerful will to survive from an unnamed plane. When it is ground into powder and used as nutrients for other magical plants or beasts, it will grant them extremely strong willpower, survival instinct, and adaptability.

[Note: This effect is not forced; it will not work if you do not have sufficient willpower and desire.]

Good heavens, the will to survive and the ability to adapt.

This is simply the perfect choice for transplanting magical plants. You know, many magical plants become listless after leaving their suitable environment, and there is such a situation in this world right now.

However, with this, the magical plants and beasts could quickly adapt to the environment here—not to mention that willpower is an immeasurable force, and in such a magical world, strong willpower can truly produce miracles.

"That's really good."

"Speaking of which, it seems I have several varieties of thorns now."

"The thorns of order, the thorns of life, and the suffering of the Earth Church and the ascetic thorns on Mifein's body..."

He was muttering to himself when a small bulge suddenly appeared in his pocket, and then a tiny moon, which had somehow gotten inside, slowly emerged.

It seemed to have discovered something interesting, and with a "whoosh," it flew swiftly to the ground, trailing a silvery-white tail of moonlight, and dashed through the thorns.

Kroya looked at it thoughtfully.

The soft moonlight shone on the rough yet translucent thorns, making them appear even more broken, like crystal that had been so delicately crafted that it could no longer be processed or even touched.

The moon gradually shrinks during this process—along with its light, it also scatters extremely fine, almost imperceptible spore dust.

"Owner."

"It's going to fall apart."

With the help of the observation equipment that had been set up beforehand, Tarling could see it clearly and had to remind her, "It is separating its own spores, and there is no sign of it stopping."

The response was Kroya's laughter: "Don't worry about it. This moon has endured the scorching heat of the sun for who knows how long, and its willpower is beyond description."

Moreover, I think that such gentle yet resilient moonlight is likely a better match for it. Now that they've found their match, it remains to be seen what kind of fruit it will bear.

Upon hearing this, Taling said nothing more and continued to observe through the monitoring equipment.

The moonlight and thorns blended better and better below. Tiny spores slowly crawled on the surface of the thorns, moving towards the ends of the thorns, absorbing the life force inside, and eventually growing into small moons, each about the size of a table tennis ball.

They floated up lightly, then gathered in the sky, turning into a huge white sphere, which stayed there quietly, radiating bright and clear moonlight.

"I'm staying here!" it conveyed as it floated past Chloe's eyes, "I love it here~"

Kroya shook her head helplessly, but her face was full of smiles.

Okay, if it wants to stay here, then it can stay here.

Nature is always wondrous and full of chance. Although it had other plans for this moon, it decided to leave it here.

This is the first time the concept of "celestial bodies" has appeared in this world. Before, this place was all shrouded in mist, with white halos shining through the crystal walls of the plane. Only now has moonlight appeared.

The Star-Fearing Fungus—which is this moon—is itself a fungus with extremely strong vitality. In addition, it has been scorched by starlight for so long, so the vitality contained within it is simply exaggerated beyond description.

It is now projecting its vitality through the moonlight.

The bright light not only shone on the "sauna-like" land, but also projected towards the distant land, as if it were about to illuminate the entire plane.

This vibrant yet gentle light quickly attracted the attention of the plane's native inhabitants, who immediately gathered around and began to enjoy this rare "gift."

Many intelligent animals even knelt down on the spot, and the moonlight poured even more into them.

A soft, invisible wisp of smoke rose from their heads and drifted toward the moon.

This is the most primitive form of belief.

Plants and animals that sense something beneficial to them will instinctively worship beings that radiate "glory." The faith they provide will fuel these beings, and this cycle will continue until "sects" are formed.

A world without sufficient magic cannot form a faith of a large scale. Clearly, this is the first time a faith has formed in this world. Kroya was curious and felt that the faith in the "moon" should be useful.

"..."

"Wouldn't having only moonlight lead to a world where everything is severely unbalanced?"

Kroya suddenly realized something important. Although the moonlight was also formed by the refracted light of stars, there were still some differences between moonlight and sunlight. Moonlight alone was obviously a possible bias.

He wasn't really prepared for the "rotation of the sun and moon" in this world, but since this situation has arisen, he has to deal with it in time, because plans can never keep up with changes.

So he immediately ordered, "Bring the sun grass over, especially the very first few!"

Taling also sensed the urgency in Kroya's tone and immediately made arrangements, bringing over a dozen Sun Grasses that were as large as trees in no time.

These sun grasses were treasures that Kroya cultivated from the very beginning. Each one had a magical fluctuation of more than ten levels, and as soon as they arrived, the warm light they emitted illuminated the surroundings.

"It's time." Kroa stroked the sungrass: "I raised you so that you could become the substitutes for the sun to supply the world with what it needs to change."

That's why I deliberately didn't use my power to strengthen you; you represent the most basic sun.

He was actually a little reluctant to part with them. These sungrasses had been cultivated for so long, basking in the sun inside his mage tower, and the sun hadn't even been filtered by the "Poem of the Rainbow".

It was his attempt to explore other possibilities of the sun.

Just as the moon has its essential nature and its transformation of starlight, the sun should also have multiple possibilities. If everything is tainted by "The Poem of the Rainbow," it will become somewhat boring.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This novel was first published on 6=9+Book_Bar.

He was, after all, a sorcerer, a sorcerer who studied all kinds of changes and phenomena, not a supreme deity who could encompass everything with his own light.

"Father."

The sun grasses unanimously conveyed their message: "This is our wish. Since there is no sun in this world, then we are the sun."

"..."

Kroya remained silent for a long time before taking action.

He looked up at the oak tree, whose branches had shrunk back: "I'll have to trouble you again, according to what we discussed outside."

You must help me bear these 'suns' and 'moons,' and ensure that day and night alternate every twelve hours.

The oak tree immediately stretched out its branches, extending upwards until it reached the highest point of the entire plane, above which was the plane's crystal wall.

Its excellent ductility and plasticity transformed the extended branches into two platforms that presented a supporting shape—Kroya had discussed this with him before, and it knew what Kroya wanted to do.

After it completed its task, Kroa took to the air, carrying the Sungrass and the moon upwards, until it reached the platform at the highest point of the plane.

During the climb, he felt almost no resistance, as if a special force was assisting him upwards. It should be the consciousness of this plane, which seemed to have become more spiritual after being nourished by magic.

"Thank you."

With the help of this force, Kroya easily leaped onto the platform made of oak trees. After looking down curiously, she took out a large pile of materials and began to build.

If we rely solely on these dozen or so sungrass plants and that one moon, even if they worked themselves to death, they couldn't possibly shine forever. After all, they are fundamentally different from true "celestial bodies."

Therefore, to make them glow for a long time, some magic circles are needed.

Kroya built two trees made of magic crystals on the platform formed by the oak branches, and drew a complex array of magic runes on the surface of the trees.

These magic rune arrays basically function to expand the range, amplify magic power, and stabilize the output of magic power.

After he finished, he stuffed the Sun Grass and the Moon inside and instructed, "You two take turns, twelve hours each. The Sun Grass will have to work a little harder, as there will be variations in temperature and magic output."

Actually, he didn't need to explain. Once inside, they started emitting light on their own. This light was enhanced by the magic runes on the outside of the magic crystal tree, making it incredibly bright. Even Kroya, who was closest to them, felt a stinging pain in his eyes.

So much so that he had to leave and fall back to the ground.

At this moment, the "sun" and the "moon" high in the sky are both emitting bright light, one from the basic sun and the other from the magical transformation of the blue chapter of "The Rainbow Poem".

Two kinds of light shone on the earth, and all the animals and plants were overjoyed—they had never seen such a sun and moon before, but instinctively felt that the light was good for them.

Because of their inherent differences, they instinctively began to worship the high and mighty sun and moon, and without any teaching, they split into two factions.

Those who love the sun will appear during the day and hide at night; those who love the moon will sleep during the day and appear at night.

And so the alternation of day and night began.

"Um?"

"Right... I remember it like this."

Kroya looked at the plants and animals, a strange smile suddenly appearing on his face. Then, he casually picked up a stone slab and branded a few lines of words onto it—

"God said, 'Let there be light.'"

"Light and darkness must be separated. Light is day, and darkness is night."

After he finished writing, he casually tossed the stone slab aside, and it ended up standing upright on the ground somewhere.

Having satisfied his perverse pleasure, Chloe hummed a little tune as he explained what was to come, such as continuing the sauna sessions, the details regarding the day-night cycle, and the immigration rules…

After giving his instructions, he left decisively. He had done what he needed to do, and he still had to take the exam for the Dimensional Engineer certification from the Holy Spring Chamber of Commerce.

Having left, Kroya was completely unaware that the thorns of life were slowly surging towards the spot where he had dropped the stone tablet, and the consciousness of the plane had piled up all the beautiful things around the stone tablet.

Even the River Terai and the oak trees, almost unconsciously, offered their clearest spring water and tenderest branches—surrounded by thorns and flowers, with clear springs flowing and oak trees gently swaying their branches behind them.

The words that Kroya casually carved shone brightly under the sun and moon, as if coated with a sacred light, and seemed to echo with wondrous music.

All of this is carefully protected by the consciousness of the plane. It does not allow any magical beasts or magical plants to approach this place, just like its deepest secret, invisible to humans yet shining brightly.

It poured everything into this place, hoping that it would bear fruit and offer sacrifices to the powerful "gods" who brought it the sun, the moon, and magic.

That's the only thing it can do.
