A dazzling light suddenly erupted from the maternal tree.
The thick branches shook slightly, making the green fog of the law of life that had materialized around the trunk ripple.
"Ahhh."
A sound like a sigh came from the tree.
It sounded like a soul had just slowly woken up from a deep slumber.
"Look, the maternal tree has come to life!"
"Good heavens! It's waking up!"
"The legend was true. The maternal tree would really wake up one day!"
The members of the wood puppet race were so excited that tears streamed down their faces as they looked at the maternal tree.
"Mother! Welcome back!"
"We want to give you our most sincere welcome!"
Countless members of the wood puppet race knelt down on the spot and kept kowtowing to the maternal tree.
"What happened?"
Even the eight governing gods were shocked at this unexpected development.
"I can't remember a time the maternal tree had ever been awake.
Why is it suddenly awake?"
a governing god exclaimed, shock written all over his face.
Austin was also just as surprised, gazing at the tree.
As he looked, an old face slowly started to emerge from the tree trunk.
Bark-like wrinkles covered its face.
Slowly opening, its eyes beamed with the dazzling green light.
Then it turned to Austin.
"Young man, were you looking for me?"
It was talking now.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the tree spoke, space and time shook violently. A great amount of life energy came from the tree, spreading out far and wide.
"The maternal tree has shown itself!"
"It truly is awake!"
Clamor filled the air, with the wood puppet race kneeling down and pandering to it in desperation.
"Mother!"
The eight governing gods of the wood puppet race also knelt down.
Even with their lofty stations, they themselves had grown from this very tree.
As their mother, it deserved their utmost respect.
"This consciousness seems to have come down from the top of the tree just now."
Austin was a bit confused.
His spiritual sense was much stronger than that of any creature present.
So he knew that this consciousness had not been awakened from the inside of this tree.
Instead, it was something else that came down from the very top of the tree.
Austin couldn't help but look up.
The top part towered into the depth of the void, making it impossible to see how far it reached.
'It's very likely that this tree is connected to another world or even universe,'
Austin surmised that the tree hadn't woken up, not from inside at least.
'Does that mean that the consciousness have come from another place?'
It seemed that only Austin was able to notice this.
"Mother, you can lay the blame on us!
We weren't able to stop this human boy and allowed him to disturb your cultivation.
Please punish us!"
One of the governing gods stepped forward and apologized to the maternal tree.
"It's not your fault. You were no match for him,"
the maternal tree said slowly.
"Young man, you haven't answered my question yet."
It was still staring at Austin.
"Yes. I was indeed looking for you,"
Austin uttered.
"What do you want from me?"
the maternal tree asked.
"I want to know the secret behind the mind power,"
Austin replied bluntly.
"I see.
No wonder. I can see you have also cultivated the mind power before.
Now you seek to cultivate it further. You haven't been able to get it right,"
