Ascension of the Sylvan Cosmos

Liu Shu woke up after almost half a year of sleeping. Unlike other times, the second she woke up, a sharp pain reached her from her Avatar’s stomach. She didn’t even have time to check anything before the familiar sensation soaked her entire body. Looking at her swollen stomach, Liu Shu huffed and puffed, moving her body slowly and lying down in a position that made the process easier.

It took one and a half hours, but eventually, Liu Shu firmly and securely delivered the new life into the world.

An echoey wail spread in the . "Wahh! Wahhh!"

Liu Shu was drenched in sweat, tiredness reflecting in her eyes. Even then, she moved some roots gently to place the newborn in her arms. Looking at the anguish-inducing crying child in her arms, the World Tree mother smiled lovingly. "You are really impatient, eh? Silly girl, couldn’t you wait for your mother to come visit?"

The child she gave birth to was another exotic, female plant humanoid creature. The plant’s greyish humanoid body had a stalled aura around it that gave a faint, ominous feeling. Her crying also echoed with a faint, wraith-like nature, while the very large purple eyes of the petite being cried blood-red tears. Taking into account the long, vine-like limbs and that the sound was not coming from a mouth in her face but on her stomach, anyone who looked at the small child would be pretty scared.

"Still..." The World Tree was curious as to why Tempestria and her child became this particular plant species. ". A plant-spirit with affinities toward Death, Wind, and Echo. They have a hard time learning powerful spells and abilities. However, with their very unusual affinity, they are able to repeat and spam skills seemingly without end. Moreover, their strong control over mind-abilities through chants enables them to enthrall people and absorb life to feed themselves."

After speaking the summary to clarify her mind on her species, Liu Shu laughed absurdly. "Why are all my children taboo-like plant beings that people usually kill on the spot when found in nature?" She was even more puzzled because of a detail that she had not spoken about yet.

Looking toward the lower half, the Sylphaith, like her other plant children, had a large flower instead of legs. "Sylphaiths are also related to Alraune, being part of the same species. If Farlunes are the male version of an Alraune, the Sylphaith is the opposite side of the same coin. Alraune feeds on life essence and lust and enchants their prey through allure, substances, and soul arts. Meanwhile, Sylphaiths absorb their life essence, attracting them through illusions of their past regrets. An alluring embrace where you can cry your regrets but ultimately consumes you..."

As she pondered the reason for this child popping out of her, she remembered something. "Death... It has affected the land greatly lately. The aura of death I’ve absorbed from the , , , , and wars has started to influence me in a way. Has that influence mixed with this child?"

"Waahh~!!"

The wailing cry would make any normal being want to hold their ears in pain. However, Liu Shu was unbothered. Her startled face was because she realized something even more important. "Oh, my baby! I almost forgot to feed you!"

Liu Shu hugged the baby, leading her bosom not to her face but to the child’s stomach. Then, the stomach of the grey-skinned Sylphaith opened vertically and swallowed half of Liu Shu’s large bosom. The vine-like limbs and flowers coiled around Liu Shu like a spoiled child while her very large purple eyes looked at Liu Shu attentively. Liu Shu smiled and summoned one of her softest leaves to clean her blood-red tears. "There, there. Is it delicious, baby?"

The vines and flowers coiled tightly around Liu Shu, showing affection in a rather creepy but adorable way. Even though her Avatar was extremely tired, she didn’t really dare to fall asleep with her newborn baby in her arms. Therefore, she forced herself to stay awake by looking at her ongoing mission.
