Everyone's on a time-travel adventure! I'm raising city beasts in a post-apocalyptic world

Once the idea popped into my head, I couldn't resist it any longer.

Lin Feng stood up from the sofa, paced back and forth in the living room, and then stopped again.

Thinking about so much is useless. The most urgent thing is to level up. Lin Feng is only level 2 now. If he wants to form a contract, he needs to free up a slot first.

Lin Feng took out the Ghost Crystal again and began to absorb it. Time passed little by little until the critical point. Finally, he took out the Level 3 Ghost Crystal and began to absorb it. When the energy finally surged into his body, it was as if another invisible barrier had been broken through.

Lin Feng could feel his mental power expanding, his spiritual energy undergoing a transformation, and his body being comprehensively improved.

Level Up: 3

Physical condition: 306

Power: 290

Agility: 296

Spirit: 363

Psychic Power: 348

Talent: Beast Taming (3/4)

With these attributes, he completely surpasses other level 3 awakened individuals of the same level. For example, Chen Min has two attributes exceeding 100, with strength and agility being her weaknesses. However, after Lin Feng advanced to level 3, all four of his attributes exceeded 100. In addition, with the attribute feedback from the evolution of his natal beast, he directly created a numerical monster.

After finishing his reflection, Lin Feng picked up the branch without hesitation, activated his innate ability, squeezed out a drop of blood from his fingertip, and pressed it onto the surface of the branch. The blood droplet did not slide off, but slowly seeped into the wood.

In an instant, Lin Feng felt an invisible bond forming between himself and the tree branch.

[Contract successful!]

At the same time, Lin Feng felt a familiar vibration beneath his feet.

Xiao Xuan woke up.

Lin Feng strode into the small garden. Within minutes, the tortoise shell on Xiao Xuan's back expanded outward by a large circle, and its outstretched limbs became even thicker.

"At least... 1,000 square meters!" Lin Feng looked at the slowly expanding tortoise shell and roughly estimated in his mind that the previously planned villa expansion and garden now had enough space.

Taking advantage of Xiao Xuan's recent awakening, Lin Feng helped him reshape the structure on his back. With his mind guiding Xiao Xuan, a large amount of soil surged up from all around, covering a thick layer, and then a tall stone wall was erected along the edge of the tortoise shell.

The stone wall isolates the interior of the turtle shell into a separate, private world.

With the interior area greatly increased, Lin Feng arrived at the back of the villa, which he had already planned as a back garden. Lin Feng stood in the middle of the soil, dug a hole, put the branch in, covered it with soil, compacted it, and then went to get a pot of water to water it.

Then, silently repeat in your mind: "Evolution!"

Ten evolution points is a small matter. A few seconds later, under Lin Feng's gaze, an extremely faint sound came from under the damp soil. Immediately afterwards, a tender green bud, no bigger than a fingernail, grew from the tip of the branch.

It sprouted and came to life.

Lin Feng squatted down, looked down at the tender bud, and felt an indescribable joy welling up in his heart, a faint emotion emanating from the broken branch in front of him.

Come again.

[Consuming 100 Evolution Points...]

The branches began to grow, and tender buds sprouted from them. The branches also changed, and in the blink of an eye, a sapling half the height of a person grew, with sparse leaves hanging on it.

"Continue!" Lin Feng's voice trembled with excitement.

[Consuming 1000 Evolution Points...]

The saplings are growing taller, suddenly reaching over a meter in height. The trunks are much thicker than before, and tender shoots are beginning to grow, forming new branches. New leaves sprout from each branch, the leaves are emerald green and have a faint fluorescent glow, and a rich sense of life and nature is palpable.

The once barren backyard was transforming at a visible pace, becoming fertile and vibrant. Even Lin Feng, a lazy and unskilled farmer, wanted to pick up a hoe and plant something.

Lin Feng opened the panel to take a look.

【My Destiny Beast Tamer 4: The Incomplete Sapling of the Tree of Life】

Current level: 3

Ability 1: Natural Force - Passive ability that can slowly improve the quality of the surrounding soil and accelerate plant growth in the area. The range expands as the level increases, and the current growth rate is increased by 3 times.

Ability 2: Natural Barrier – Can actively release an invisible barrier formed by natural energy, capable of isolating auras, shielding against gray fog erosion, and blocking the penetration of evil energy. The barrier's strength increases with level, currently covering a maximum radius of 300 meters. (Note: The barrier consumes the Tree of Life's self-generated energy during operation; the larger the area, the weaker the effect. It can absorb Ghost Crystals; one level 3 Ghost Crystal lasts approximately one hour. The consumption rate increases rapidly if attacked.)

Ability 3: Spirit of Nature - Can absorb the soul fragments scattered by dead creatures within a nearby area to create a Spirit of Nature (Note: This ability is currently unusable; only the soul absorption ability remains. It needs to be upgraded to Silver rank...)

Ability 4: Lock. Requires the construction of a Life Altar to view (Materials required for constructing a Life Altar: Essence of Black Iron, Blood of All Spirits, Bones of All Spirits...).

[Evolutionary Feedback Received: The Tree of Life is a racial artifact, and therefore cannot provide attribute feedback. However, the innate talent of Natural Affinity is automatically granted, along with the rule-level passive ability—Resurrection!]

Lin Feng stared at the line of text on the panel, looking at it several times before confirming that he hadn't misread it.

Rule-level ability—Resurrection!

Lin Fengsheng took a deep breath, but still couldn't calm down. This was a resurrection; who could remain calm?

Click on the detailed instructions, and the information unfolds in your mind.

[Resurrection - Rule-level Passive Ability]

[Effect: When the contractor of the Tree of Life dies for any reason, the Tree of Life will automatically activate the remaining Golden Rule essence to perfectly resurrect the soul and body, with no period of weakness after resurrection.]

[Restriction: This ability can only be triggered once per year. After triggering, the Tree of Life enters a one-year period of weakness, which cannot be used again until the fundamental rules are restored. When the Tree of Life advances to the Iron level, the time will be shortened to 180 days, and 10 additional resurrection slots will be added.]

"My goodness!"

"So, does that mean I can die once a year for nothing?"

Lin Feng patted the mud off his hands. It was indeed a good trump card for survival, but he still couldn't let his guard down. He silently made a mental note that this tree would be his lifeline from now on.

Their attention then turned back to the fourth lock-on ability.

[The Altar of Life.]

[One of the core functions of the Tree of Life requires collecting black iron ore and smelting it into black iron essence to create the tower base. This black iron essence, combined with the bones of all spirits, is then used to create twelve black iron pillars, forming a life-preserving array. The blood of all spirits is then used to activate the altar.]

However, when Lin Feng saw the required quantity, he immediately lost his composure. Black iron ore was not ordinary iron ore, but a mineral containing special spiritual energy. He hadn't even seen a trace of it yet. Moreover, one ton of black iron ore could only yield about one ounce. How much would it take to build an altar?

As for the Blood of All Spirits and the Bones of All Spirits, those are easy to obtain. Just hunt other creatures, extract their blood and dismantle their bones. The more the better, the stronger the better, there is no limit.

As for its function, we'll only know once it's built.

"No rush, let's focus on staying alive first. Since this thing is so difficult to make, it must be something extraordinary. If we have the resources, we should prioritize making it."
