”Weʼre not done yet, here take these,” she said, waving her hand and giving me dozens of Dao Fragments, Scrolls, and also Grimoires and Elixirs. ”These are all directly from my Treasury, or from my powerful Daos. I know you only had a fragment or two of these, but if you can eat them all, you should be able to develop a full Dao immediately. Hmm, also take this.”

She also took apart a piece of her body and also her soul, which contained part of her Supreme Cosmic Divine Authorities.

Woah, sheʼs sure generous! Did she feel THAT guilty?!

Ding!

[You have received the following Items from {Genesisʼ Supreme Goddess of Life and Nature: Flora}: [Large Nature Dao Fragment] x20 [Large Life Dao Fragment] x20 [Large Beast Dao Fragment] x20 [Dao Scroll: Nature Dao (Old System/Compatible) (S Grade)] x10 [Dao Scroll: Life Dao (Old System/Compatible) (S Grade)] x10 [Dao Scroll: Beast Dao (Old System/Compatible) (S Grade)] x10 [Random Lesser Skill Grimoire (Old System/Compatible) (C Grade)] x100 [Random Lesser Stat Boosting Elixir (Old System/Compatible) (C Grade)] x100 [Genesisʼ Supreme Goddess of Life and Natureʼs Cosmic Divine Arm of Yggdrasil Wood and All-Healing Sap (SSS Grade)] x1 [Genesisʼ Supreme Goddess of Life and Natureʼs Divine Cosmic Soul Cluster (SSS Grade)] x1]

”T-Thank you!” I said, feeling overwhelmed by everything. ”Did you feel that guilty?”

”Yes...” she sighed. ”Now I donʼt feel as guilty anymore, thankfully. That guilt was killing me, honestly. Such an annoying feeling.”

”Hahah! It just means youʼre still a person and have not become a monster yet,” I explained to her.

”Hm, I donʼt know if I should believe the words of a monster like you, Kireina...” she sighed. ”But whatever the case, weʼre done here. I know thereʼs a lot happening outside. But I still need to tidy things up a bit. But whenever you need help, call me and Iʼll go right away.” ”Okay then,” I nodded. ”Thanks!”

I looked at what she gave me with a bit of surprise. Though I was confused about a few things myself, and it seemed that items from the original system from Genesis appeared with special signals, and were considerably weaker in my system, despite being top notch items in Genesis System.

”So what do I do with this now...” I felt a bit overwhelmed. ”Ah right! Donʼt go to meditate yet! Come on, tell me what the hell happened! And where were you when this happened.”

”Right, my bad,” she nodded. ”From what I recall, I was with the System Master and the family members you just rescued. We were trying to rescue a group of your allies as you told us, the chimeras, was it? Well, they had turned into a gigantic monster, and it was rather powerful. However, as we were managing to defeat it, a cataclysmic explosion emerged from the skies themselves as they were split apart yet again, and it send us to this world, Abyss, as you call it. Amidst the commotion, I tried to protect everyone using my body, growing it as big as possible and encompassing them on my divine wood. It worked, as the chaotic clouds and the attacks from the entities that appeared didnʼt hit them, but I was affected and my mind and soul corrupted...”

”I see... T-Thanks for that,” I said. ”Without you, they would have... become monsters too.” ”Donʼt worry, I will always protect my allies if necessary,” she said.

”Do you remember the entities that attacked you?” I asked.

”Hmm, I couldnʼt quite see or detect them, but I am fairly sure they were Outer Gods, they fired beams of miasma and void against me,” she said.

”I see... Nothing else?”

”I canʼt remember more than that, memories as a monster are hazy,” she apologized. ”Sorry.”

”Itʼs fine...” I said. ”It gives me a better perspective of what happened. Anyways, for now Iʼll... Wait, what are the Dao Scrolls for?”

”Using those Scrolls will give you comprehension over that Dao, if you absorb their knowledge, you may be able to Rank a Dao to their next Stage or even Evolve them,” she explained. ”In Genesis, theyʼre incredibly precious, rare items that we Supreme Gods use and exchange sometimes.”

”I see... How can you make these?” I asked.

”Do you want me to teach you?” she smiled. ”Sure, I can. Itʼs not too complicated, the most complicated part is actually being able to create a Divine Formation capable of extracting knowledge and information from your Mind, without taking it away entirely. So you need something that can copy memories and information, enlightenment itself, and then imbue it into paper for the scroll, usually also made specially so it can easily transfer this knowledge directly to the user...”

She explained to me how to make those, and as I heard and understood, suddenly...

Ding!

[You have learned the ability to create [Dao Scrolls] through the Primordial Star Core Abilities!]

[The Primordial Star Core Ability: [Cosmic Dao Fusion Alchemy Lab] can now create [Dao Scrolls] of any Dao youʼve comprehended using Cosmic Energy and required materials.]

Oh thatʼs so nice! Excellent.

While listening to Flora though, I quickly decided to use or eat most of the things she gifted

to me.

Ding!

[You have absorbed the [Large Nature Dao Fragment] x20 [Large Life Dao Fragment] x20 and [Large Beast Dao Fragment] x20 into your Origin Core!]

FLUOSH!

Upon consumption, I sensed all the fragments rapidly coming together, as three beautiful Daos were formed!

[The power of the Dao Fragments has been combined together to create the [Developing Dao of Nature (Rank 1)], [Developing Dao of Life (Rank 1)], and the [Developing Dao of Beasts

And then, the scrolls opened and imbued their knowledge into me.
