Chapter 1 Starting a Fire
Wood Tribe (Repair)
A plant research team from Planet Z encountered a giant beast attack while searching for ancient artifacts in a dense forest.
The giant python was hundreds of feet long, and its enormous head, when it stood upright, could blot out the sky. It opened its blood-red maw, its forked tongue drawing a red arc in the air. Its fangs dripped purple venom as it teased its prey, leisurely slithering towards the edge of the cliff.
Shen Nong's face was stained with blood, and his clothes were torn by tree branches, hanging in strips. He was surrounded by a green light shield and was pushed to safety by a pair of old hands.
Shen Nong screamed in despair, "Teacher!"
Professor Shen Wenqing, a botanist with half-gray hair, stood a step away from the edge of the cliff, using his special ability to check Shen Nong's injuries. The green light shield flickered for a moment before stopping.
Seeing that Shen Nong had not suffered a fatal injury, he smiled with relief.
This child was an orphan; he found her in a dense forest, and even named her. His own son had died young, and his wife had divorced him. Since then, he had devoted himself to plant research, and Shen Nong was a gift from heaven.
Although the two always addressed each other as master and disciple, Shen Wenqing had long regarded Shen Nong as his own child in his heart.
But now that he's dying, he probably won't live to see his children grow up and start their own families.
Although there are regrets, I have no regrets.
As the giant python approached, Shen Nong frantically pounded on the light barrier. His teacher had taught him so much. He was both a teacher and a father figure, his only family in this world.
Shen Nong couldn't bear to watch the other person die before his eyes; he had to save Shen Wenqing.
We must save them no matter what.
Having made up her mind, Shen Nong stopped patting the protective light shield and instead focused her attention. After a moment, a warm current spread from her brain to her limbs and bones, and Shen Nong felt boundless vitality within her body.
Interstellar beings have evolved crystal cores in their brains, each with unique abilities. Shen Nong possesses wood-based powers, allowing her to manipulate plants for attack and growth, as well as perform simple healing.
His ability level is level six, with a maximum of level ten. Those with abilities above level five can self-destruct their spiritual core, but level five is a watershed moment. Furthermore, abilities will not evolve or improve after the age of sixty-five; the vast majority of people will remain at level four throughout their lives.
Shen Wenqing possesses a level five earth-type ability, and has not been able to surpass level five for decades. In a month, Shen Wenqing will turn sixty-five; his ability level is already set and will not change.
Shen Nong also suddenly evolved a few days ago. She originally planned to tell her teacher on her birthday after returning home, to give her a surprise.
During the fight, the teacher didn't pay attention to whether his superpowers changed; both of them were only concerned with escaping for their lives.
I never expected that the teacher would find out under such circumstances.
The immense vitality spurred the plants to grow wildly, and the ancient trees in the dense forest seemed to have a life of their own, waving their branches like well-trained soldiers, ready to pounce.
Shen Wenqing looked at Shen Nong in astonishment. A level six ability user at the age of 19, a rare genius.
Shen Wenqing was overjoyed, his happiness overflowing. He felt he could die without regrets. But the next moment, he could no longer smile, as the protective shield he had used to shield Shen Nong shattered under the immense pressure of the supernatural power.
Shen Nong was surrounded by a faint green light. Soft vines stretched out from the bottom of the cliff and wrapped around Shen Wenqing. Purple flowers grew on the vines and smelled exceptionally fragrant.
But Shen Wenqing was not in the mood to study the unknown plant at this moment. He realized that Shen Nong was self-destructing her spiritual core.
"Shen Nong, stop!"
Shen Nong couldn't stop, and Shen Wenqing knew it was impossible to stop. Once the spirit core chose to self-destruct, it couldn't stop until it was reduced to dust.
Those who lose their crystal core will die.
The python sensed the threat of death and, abandoning its previous playful attitude towards its prey, began to take the situation seriously.
Shen Nong manipulated the plants to fight it, but the giant python was no pushover either. It fought back fiercely, determined to make the arrogant two-legged beast understand that it was the overlord of this forest.
Purple venom soaked through the branches, and white smoke with an unpleasant odor rose up.
Shen Nong was merely a researcher and had never received combat training. He only managed to fight the battle-hardened giant python to a draw thanks to his powerful supernatural abilities.
The power of the crystal core was ultimately limited, and Shen Nong could not leave this threat unchecked. He took one last look at Shen Wenqing and bid him farewell silently. Then, with all his might, he controlled the plants to tightly bind the giant python and drag it off the cliff.
After the giant python plunged completely off the cliff, it used its tail to wrap around Shen Nong and drag her down with it.
The vines that had bound Shen Wenqing had loosened and receded below the cliff, leaving a few purple flowers scattered on the ground. The old man lay prostrate on the edge of the cliff, crying out, "My child, Nongnong, my child!"
The clouds and mist below the cliff obscured its base, and Shen Wenqing's mournful voice startled a flock of birds into flight.
——
Back when Shen Nong's country was still living on ancient Earth, there were two old sayings: one was "Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda," and the other was "Good deeds are rewarded."
When Shen Nong crawled out of the pool of blood, he deeply felt that his ancestor was right and had not lied to him.
However, whe
