Liu Shu checked her system messages before starting to do her two major tasks: dealing with the <Enhanced Life Tree Core (A- Rank)> and finishing the <Sylvan Quest: Become A Young World Tree>.

'It has been a while since I checked everything! Let's do it without descriptions. I'll check more in-depth after I complete the mission and Level Up as much as I can with my 45 million Experience Points.

"Wow, so many MAX Level skills! My World Tree Heart has also begun to increase in proficiency. I guess that it is related to my Core Room. Hm… I should be able to increase my World Tree Eye skill rank as well. I wonder what will happen when it reaches the B Tier?"

The system page was quite nice to look at with so many things. "I wonder how my stats will change when I spend all my experience?"

Liu Shu was planning to reach Level 80 if she could and then use the rest of the Experience to Level Up skills that remained after she used the rewards from the quest. Of course, if she had enough Experience Points to reach Level 90, she wouldn't be too upset about it. Each 10 levels was a slight increase in attributes that could make a difference. Although the biggest difference between levels was not the attributes, since the Level Up attributes amounted to nothing by now, it was the increase in Ternary Essences.

For example, if she were at Level 60, compared to Level 69, she would have around 20% less Ternary Essence reserves at the very least.

"However, there is something strange about my stats page. My Ternary Essences are TOO high! And my Tiers…"

Liu Shu checked, and once she saw, she almost choked.

Looking at this, her face was full of confusion. She was very clear that her Aether was significantly lower than the others before. Now, though, all of them had seemingly stabilized. The reason she didn't realize it was that there were numerous system messages from all the tasks that had been completed during her sleep, making it difficult for her to find any of the truly important messages right away.

That's why she checked the general System Page instead of going through the messages. Now, though, she needed to dig for a bit and ask for specifics.

"System, show me the messages related to my <Tier Up>."

[Searching for messages…]

[Located.]

[You've unlocked the <Hidden Title: Embers Of Chaos>. You'll receive a major <Tier Up>!]

[...]

[Error! Tianlian Liu Shu's <Willpower> and <Phoer> are about to enter the S Tier. Foundation would destabilize, and several problems would appear from a forceful partial breakthrough into the S Tier.]

[Finding solutions…]

[Found. Tier Up energy will be digested and divided to balance all of Tianlian Liu Shu's <Star Ranks>.]

[Aether Star Up!]

[Aether Star Up!]

[Aether Star Up!]

[Anima Star Up!]

[Aether Star Up!]

[Overflowing <Tier Up> energy… Finding places to spend it.]

At that moment, Liu Shu noticed Wisdom's messages.

[Wisdom: Direct overflow energy toward the <Five Origin Branches>.]

[Redirecting…]

[<Sylvanium Branch> has been enhanced. It has reached <World Rank (A+ Tier)> artifact level.]

[<Etherium Branch> has been enhanced. It has reached <World Rank (A+ Tier)> artifact level.]

[<Celestium Branch> has been enhanced. It has reached <World Rank (A+ Tier)> artifact level.]

[<Ascendium Branch> has been enhanced. It has reached <World Rank (A+ Tier)> artifact level.]

[<Cognium Branch> has been enhanced. It has reached <World Rank (A+ Tier)> artifact level.]

[Stats have been limited until the <Fourth Energy Cycle> is achieved. Otherwise, the user will receive a backlash from the overpowering stats.]

[Wisdom: Remaining energy is too faint to do anything with it. Redirect it towards purifying the bloodline. This won't increase Tianlian Liu Shu's stats, but it will help her achieve a perfect <Fourth Energy Cycle>.]

[Congratulations! <Tier Up> Completed.]

Liu Shu looked at those messages with a baffled expression. Her real body opened her eyes, revealing a gorgeous pair of verdant green eyes, unlike the amethyst-colored eyes she has in the <Core Room>. Then, she looked toward the five distinct branches in her canopy. Those five branches were thick and glowed with five distinct colors, so she easily noticed them at a glance.

"Whoa… The aura they are exuding is truly imposing." Her gaze suddenly noticed a few tiny beings among her branches, and she couldn't help but smile faintly. "Oh? What are you little darlings doing among my branches?"

The Berry Collectors were in utter shock. They had never expected their Lady World Tree to wake up and look their way suddenly. Seeing the perfectly carved face, basically glowing with beauty, strength, and gentleness, all the fairies and other flying creatures collecting berries had their brains malfunction. Some of them even fainted.

Liu Shu, nearly reaching 3000 meters in height, was enormous in comparison to any of them. So, her face was large enough to look like a massive Tree House on the ground.

Liu Shu was somewhat startled when she saw them start to tremble and faint. "Oh dear, did I scare you?" A few of her thick branches moved below the fainting Berry Collectors, catching them tenderly and avoiding any damage.

Then, seeing that all of them were about to have a panic attack if she kept looking in their direction, Liu Shu decided to give them a break. "Okay, little ones, I'll stop looking now. Continue working as you have and be careful, yes? I don't want anyone to fall from my branches and have an accident."

Her head turned after she spoke, letting the poor Berry Collectors rest so that their hearts wouldn't explode from all the bursting emotions inside of them. Some of them barely made it to some branches as their legs softened and trembled while their wing muscles cramped. "Oh, branches above, oh, branches above, Lady World Tree was talking to me! My heart, oh my, I am going to die. Why is it beating so fast and loud?

Almost all of them had trouble even standing up as their limbs failed to respond to them. Liu Shu looked at them from the corner of her eyes and sighed softly to herself. Now, though, Liu Shu was more mature, so she didn't mind that much. With her children and family, she was slowly letting go of her dream to find a genuine friend.

"Speaking of which…" Liu Shu's gaze expanded outward as she tried to find the catkin Tanya. It didn't take long before she found herself sitting in a room with other children her age. The hour was somewhat after noon, so the classes for young children had yet to finish.

Seeing the catkin girl working hard, Liu Shu began pondering whether to continue her previous interactions with this girl. Her gaze moved toward the backpack, and she saw a plushie of herself hanging on it. Now older than the time she first found her, the catkin had understood more about the world and Liu Shu's existence. Even then, it seemed that the girl continued to be her number one fan.

With that in mind, Liu Shu decided not to contact her for now. 'If the girl continues trying to search for me and reaches a high rank, perhaps, in the future, we can meet. I can sense that her talent is not small, as her life force is quite strong. So, I'll leave it up to Destiny.'

Her gaze stayed on the pretty catkin for a while, and after thinking about it, one of her branches snuck up and hung on her backpack. Then, Liu Shu severed the ribbon-shaped root. "Now… <Runic Coverage>."

Her aura shifted inside the room for a moment, startling the people, who did not really know what had happened. As they looked around, the wooden ribbon transformed into a soft-looking red one with a clip that could attach to the catkin's hair.

'This will help you. My aura will ward you off evil spells and also help your mind stay clear and calm when adversity comes.' Her tone was soft in her mind as she laughed. 'Let this be my little goodbye present until we cross paths again.'

Her gaze zoomed out, and she looked toward the horizon. Her soft gaze turned serious as her energy began gathering around her. The over 3000 Ternary Essence Cores surged through her roots and pulsed outward at incredible speeds. "Time to finish this. I'll leave Warlya for later."

The World Tree was effectively trapped within her own domain, unable to grow due to old injuries. Therefore, she didn't need to deal with her for the moment.

That day, the Abyssal Void Nexus lost more than 10 towns and cities under the siege of powerful roots and spells. Not even the armies that previously invaded were so fearsome. 'Heh. More Experience Points~.'
