Jiang Han just wanted to reward Lin Tianming; she didn't expect to lose control of the situation, and even her last line of defense was breached.

But she didn't regret it, nor did she blame Lin Tianming.

It was her own lack of consideration this time. Her face was already so red, yet she clung to the sensation without letting go, allowing the moment to drag on and leading to the loss of control.

Even wood that's hard to burn will ignite if you keep the flame going long enough!

And… and she really liked having Lin Tianming as the backbone of a family, that warm feeling…

But the dignity of being a teacher still made Jiang Han feign authority on the surface.

She didn't want to be bullied by Lin Tianming every day from now on, having him ride roughshod over her!

"You big rebellious scoundrel of an ingrate!"

"I'll thrash you… thrash you, you bad student!"

"How dare you bully the teacher... How dare you bully me... How dare you learn bad habits!"

She said she was going to hit Lin Tianming, but aside from her serious and fierce expression, Jiang Han's soft, limp punches after the enjoyable moment didn't carry any real force. It was just a symbolic gesture to maintain her image as a teacher.

Even if she truly had the strength, she wouldn't seriously hit Lin Tianming; she cherished her precious student too much!

Lin Tianming could eavesdrop on Jiang Han's thoughts and knew she wasn't really angry; he just let her punch his chest.

After a symbolic show of defiance, Jiang Han still continued to lean on Lin Tianming's chest, enjoying the feeling of being protected.

[No wonder Qingxue likes clinging to Tianming so much… This feeling of being protected without a worry in the world is truly wonderful!]

The two embraced for quite a while, and then Jiang Han let go of Lin Tianming, reverting to her teacher persona.

"No repeats, you little rascal!"

She feigned a stern attitude for the occasion, but as Jiang Han channeled her Divine Power, the tearing pain disappeared.

The two were preparing to go out for a walk nearby when Lin Tianming had a sudden whimsical idea and wanted to tease his teacher Jiang Han again.

"Han'er, can I call you this from now on?"

"Mhm, of course you can, silly boy… wait a second… are you asking for a beating again? You should call me teacher!"

Jiang Han subconsciously agreed but quickly realized something was amiss.

Although she and her dear student developed that kind of relationship due to her negligence, she couldn't switch back to her teacher role immediately.

Being called Han'er by her younger student was too embarrassing!

Lin Tianming chuckled: "Han'er, we were so close just now; it's time to change how I address you, my Han'er!"

Jiang Han wore a look of mortified anger, her whole body surrounded by crackling Purple Thunder.

"Who is your Han'er? I said it would not happen again… this time… this time was an accident. Don't mention it again… nor call me Han'er!"

Lin Tianming wouldn't change his tune, "The nickname Han'er just rolls off the tongue, I don't want to change it, my dearest Han'er!"

Saying so, he darted off first.

"Rebel... rebel! See if I don't settle you, you big rebellious scoundrel, a bad student who disrespects his teacher and ancestors!"

Jiang Han, shimmering with Purple Thunder, immediately chased after him.

She was determined to catch Lin Tianming, the rascally student, and make him change the way he addressed her!

Outside, Thunder Dragon Emperor, who was on guard, saw Lin Tianming burst out full of life and cheerfully greeted him.

"Have you finally recovered, Tianming?"

After spending time with Lin Tianming, she too changed how she addressed him, finding it more intimate to call him by his nickname.

"Yes, Thunder Dragon Emperor, thank you for standing guard all these days; you've worked hard!"

Right after Lin Tianming thanked Thunder Dragon Emperor, Jiang Han chased out after him.

"Rebel, stop right there! Don't you run!"

"Not running would be strange!"

Under the puzzled gaze of Thunder Dragon Emperor, Lin Tianming and Jiang Han began chasing each other nearby.

It just so happened Tianshui came to check on Lin Tianming and witnessed this scene.

But she wasn't puzzled; she was simply happy to see Lin Tianming so lively, chasing and frolicking with Jiang Han after his recovery.

"Little rascal, change the way you address me quickly! How can I face others like this?"

"Han'er Han'er Han'er! Hahaha… I'll just call it!"

"There are people watching! You... calling me Han'er? You bad student, messing with your teacher... don't let me catch you… or else I'll tear up your mouth!"

…

Eventually, Lin Tianming did change back to calling her Teacher Jiang Han.

He was just deliberately teasing Jiang Han; he hadn't frolicked with Jiang Han for a long time, and he wanted to liven up the atmosphere.

Seeing that Jiang Han and Lin Tianming had their fill of fun, Tianshui spoke up at the right moment: "Brother Tianming, now that you've recovered, let's head to the new World Tree. Yu Fei is waiting for you to go over there!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Tianming asked, "New World Tree? Has the World Tree been planted?"

"Not yet, Yu Fei said she wanted you to witness her planting the new World Tree with your own eyes once you were recovered. The bigwigs from Angel Xingyao and Genetic God Country also agreed.

"After all, you saved the entire Genetic God Country, it's only right that you should be there to witness the birth of the new World Tree!"

Learning about the situation of the new World Tree from Tianshui, Lin Tianming nodded his head.

"Then let's go have a look together, Teacher Jiang Han, Thunder Dragon Emperor, we can't keep Senior Hua waiting too long!"

As the words fell, Lin Tianming and his party headed for the specific location where the new World Tree was being planted.

In the Flower Sea World on the eastern outskirts of Flower Sea Park, stretching east from here is a Forbidden Sea Domain larger than the entire Abandoned Land.

Within the Forbidden Sea Domain lies the Sea God Temple, the holy land of the mermaid clan.

Planting the new World Tree here was undoubtedly the best site selection.

When Lin Tianming arrived at the scene, he also saw Hua Yufei, who had completed all the Flower God Trials and ascended to a True God Level existence.

The Flower Fairies of the Flower Sea Park, led by Fairy Qinglian, gathered at the scene, ready to witness the birth of the new World Tree together.

The big shots of all the top forces of the Genetic God Country didn't leave; those who had recovered from their injuries in Flower Sea Park also wanted to witness the planting of the new World Tree, a symbol of hope.

Casting his gaze over, Lin Tianming noticed that Alice, who should have been in Holy Origin Valley, had followed Holy Origin Spirit King to the site.

Perhaps attuned to Lin Tianming's feelings, Alice quickly realized his arrival.

"Ming!"

With a bright and sunny smile on her pretty face, Alice called out, and then jogged over to Lin Tianming.

Her shout also made Lin Tianming instantly the center of attention of the whole venue.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, Alice and Lin Tianming embraced tightly.

"Alice, didn't you say you were going to cultivate properly in Holy Origin Valley? How come you are here in the Flower Sea Park?"

Facing Lin Tianming's question, Alice answered truthfully, "I heard from Her Majesty the Queen that you collapsed from exhaustion after the great battle and have been recuperating in Flower Sea Park; I was worried about you, so I came!"

"So that's how it is. I'm fully recovered now, Alice, you can rest assured!"

While reassuring Alice, Lin Tianming playfully stroked her cute little nose.

Alice too enjoyed Lin Tianming's affectionate gesture, her cheeks turning a lovely shade of red as she smiled.

After their brief affectionate exchange, Lin Tianming went over to where Hua Yufei was.

"Senior Hua, we can start planting the World Tree now."

"Mm, Junior Brother Tianming!"

Hua Yufei nodded her little head heavily, then took out the World Tree sapling, which Fairy Qinglian had entrusted to her in advance, under the expectant gaze of everyone present.

This World Tree sapling, transformed by the cutting-edge Genetic Technology of the Genetic God Country, contained a strong vitality.

But apart from the true Flower God, if anyone else attempted to plant the World Tree, which could bring hope and strength to the whole Genetic God Country in the future, it would inevitably lead to the sapling withering and dying in an irreversible manner the moment it was planted.

This was a result obtained through the testing of countless ages, wasting numerous World Tree saplings.

Now it was time to see if Hua Yufei, the complete inheritor of the Flower God Power, could bring hope to the Genetic God Country!

Hua Yufei was also very nervous; she was afraid of failing, disappointing Lin Tianming, and letting down everyone at the scene who had high hopes for her.

Is this what it feels like to carry the hopes of so many people?

This immense pressure of a responsibility entrusted by countless individuals... indeed not just anyone can withstand it!

Noticing her trembling body, Lin Tianming timely spoke up, "Senior Hua, don't be nervous, relax, you can do it!"

Bolstered by Lin Tianming's encouragement, Hua Yufei took a deep breath, fully channeling the Flower God Power, and planted the vigorous World Tree sapling.

Fairy Qinglian also timely reminded Hua Yufei, "Yu Fei, remember what I taught you, continuously use your Flower God Power to nourish the World Tree sapling!"

Hua Yufei successfully planted the World Tree sapling, and she meticulously heeded Fairy Qinglian's teachings, continuously nourishing the sapling with the Flower God Power.

Under the nourishment of the Flower God Power, the World Tree sapling began to grow robustly.

When the World Tree sapling grew into a genuine tree, a look of joy appeared on the faces of everyone present.

Sensing the surging vitality emanating from this newly born sapling, Fairy Qinglian said excitedly, "Finally... after tens of thousands of years... the World Tree that our Flower Sea Park lost... has returned!"

"That's amazing, Hua Yufei, thank you for bringing us the reborn World Tree, you are the new Flower God!"

The nearby Flower Fairies also began to cheer and leap for joy one by one.

The major figures of the Genetic God Country were also very satisfied with this result.

"Now we just wait for this newborn World Tree to grow under the care of the new Flower God into a real tree that can radiate power across the entire Genetic God Country!"

"Yes, with this World Tree containing boundless vitality, it equates to having infinite hope!"

"With our new Flower God and the newborn World Tree, as well as Lin Tianming, who can overcome the true body of the Deceit God, our Genetic God Country is more united than ever. I believe we will definitely overcome all the Deceit Gods in the end!"

The birth of the new World Tree signifies a beautiful hope.

The existence of the new World Tree alone is not enough.

It is merely a symbol of hope.

And Lin Tianming, who can defeat the true body of the Deceit God, is the real hope brought forth by the new Flower God Hua Yufei and the new World Tree!

He is the one who truly has the ability to turn hope into reality!
