Chapter 382: Chapter 254 When Will It Be Lofty Like a Canopy? _2

Under the processing of his powerful brain, scenes flashed by rapidly, and he soon determined that no one else had come here.

Pondering, his perception extended deeper.

More than a dozen corpses were laid before his eyes, all buried deep under the rubble in the cave.

With the passage of time, they had become rotten and emitted an odor, with many areas already turning into patches of white bones.

Looking at all this,

Chen Yun did not interfere.

Instead, he couldn’t help but glance at the backpack behind him, a thought arising in his mind.

Inside his backpack were ginkgo saplings, which had been continuously nurtured with Life Force and thus maintained their vitality.

He had chosen Laojun Mountain as the starting point for his journey and had also planned to plant the saplings that would witness and accompany him for a long time to come.

If he were to plant the saplings in the cave...

Could they better absorb nutrients?

Chen Yun couldn’t help but entertain such a hellish thought.

Of course, this idea was soon rejected by Chen Yun himself.

There are many Saltpeter Mines nearby, so the land also had an excessive amount of nitrates, leading to soil salinization.

This was not suitable for planting.

Although Chen Yun’s nurturing ability could foster plant growth and provide all the energy and substances needed,

Chen Yun was not going to stay here forever.

Hence, he didn’t have the chance to continuously use his nurturing ability to provide an endless stream of Life Force to promote plant growth.

So when planting, he still had to take into account some of the plant’s needs for their growing environment.

Therefore, that hellish idea of planting in the cave to absorb the so-called nutrients was, for the time being, pushed to the back of his mind.

"So before leaving this place..."

"I still need to find a nice spot to plant the tree."

Thinking.

Chen Yun, holding the silly dog Bai Jin and riding the black bear, turned to leave.

However, after only a few steps, he turned his head towards the sealed cave.

His eye sockets instantly turned red, giving an eerie feeling to those who saw it.

The next moment,

Thermal sight burst forth.

The red light emerging from Chen Yun’s eyes pierced through the veil of air like molten lava, tinting everything around with a blood-red hue.

The air was filled with a tense atmosphere that was almost visible, like an invisible string pulled to the limit, ready to snap and emit a piercing screech at any moment.

This thin and searing laser beam, like the wrathful sword of a deity, was not silent; it came with a low yet sharp "sizzle" sound, the sonic boom produced by the high temperature fringing against the air.

Where the light passed, the air seemed to be scorched, making a crackling sound.

The pile of rocks at the mouth of the cave appeared frail under this thermal force; the surface of the rocks began to crack, followed by large chunks peeling away.

One by one, rocks collapsed thunderously, and the thermal sight continuously cut through the cave’s interior, each impact accompanied by the sound of shattering stones and dancing flames.

In the end, when silence fell,

A smooth, bottomless pit had been hollowed out inside the cave.

Surrounding it were glassy fragments of rock, heated to high temperatures, glinting with an ominous light.

The skeletal remains that had once been in the cave were, of course, reduced to nothingness.

The black bear and Bai Jin silently refrained from speaking.

Or rather, their fur stood on end, clearly frightened.

They felt a profound fear of the terrifying power of this Two-legged Beast beside them.

And Chen Yun withdrew his gaze; the red light gradually faded.

Leaving only a pair of calm eyes as if the cataclysmic scene had never occurred.

Chen Yun did these things not for some special purpose, but purely because he couldn’t resist the urge to "put the final nail in the coffin," completely erasing the corpses that had been difficult to vanish into thin air from this world.

Thinking this,

He gently patted the neck of the black bear mount, signaling it to move on.

Immediately,

One man, one bear, one dog disappeared into the woods.

Leaving only silence behind.

...

Next, the man, the bear, and the dog arrived at a place with a higher elevation.

Here, the elevation was slightly higher, and the terrain was extremely rugged.

Most medium to large animals absolutely couldn’t get up there, only smaller animals and most plants could manage it.

For this reason,

Chen Yun was quite fond of this protruding piece of land.

Thinking it was perfect for planting a tree.

But considering the black bear simply couldn’t climb up there.

So on that stretch of the road, Chen Yun shouldered the black bear and walked briskly on the uneven ground, ascending continuously as if flying.

The entire process appeared exceptionally relaxed and carefree.

Chen Yun, carrying the black bear and leading the silly dog Bai Jin, walked on the rugged mountain path.

But his pace was surprisingly light.

It was as if a breeze blew under his feet with each step falling in rhythm with nature.

The mountains were rugged and thorny thickets were everywhere.

But for Chen Yun, these were merely common obstacles; he deftly avoided them or leaped over them with ease.

Like a skilled dancer twirling gracefully on the stage.

When encountering an area that was truly hard to traverse, he would miraculously make his way by stamping out footholds or scooping out a pit is using his hands.

His movements were agile yet filled with a raw aesthetic of power.

The sunlight pierced through the sparse treetops, casting bands of golden light onto him and accentuating his nimble silhouette.

Soon enough,

Chen Yun, shouldering the black bear and leading the silly dog Bai Jin, reached the summit as if it weighed nothing.

Upon reaching the high ground, Chen Yun gently set the black bear down. The bear looked around curiously, clearly interested in the new environment.

Chen Yun then took a ginkgo sapling from his pack and prepared to start planting.

He picked a spot abundant with sunlight and fertile soil,

away from the obstruction of rocks, an ideal place for growth.

He didn’t take out a shovel to dig a hole.

Instead, he found the right angle, and with a few forceful punches, the ground was impacted.

Hundreds of tons of strength poured out,

much more formidable than any shovel.

Part of the ground was compacted, while another part blew open a large hole due to the angle.

The ground was instantly clouded with dust, but under Chen Yun’s deliberate control, there were not too many pits; one hole that was just right appeared almost precisely.

After the hole was dug, he cautiously placed the ginkgo sapling in it with telekinesis.

Adjusting its position to ensure the roots were comfortably spread, he then began backfilling.

With the control of telekinesis,

backfilling didn’t require hands-on effort.

Countless pieces of soil spontaneously laid out perfectly, covering the roots just right.

During the backfilling process, Chen Yun often looked back at the black bear.

The bear seemed fascinated by Chen Yun’s actions,

sitting on its haunches, gently pawing at the scattered soil. Silly dog Bai Jin was also excited, playing with the dirt alongside the bear.

The two animals occasionally looked up, meeting Chen Yun’s gaze, as if engaging in silent communication.

When the last bit of soil had fallen,

A satisfied smile spread across Chen Yun’s face.

He looked around; this high ground, with the addition of the ginkgo sapling, seemed to gain a new vitality and hope.

Chen Yun approached the sapling, gently caressing the trunk, as if sharing his expectations for the future with it.

The black bear came closer too, lightly touching the sapling with its robust snout as if welcoming the new friend in its way.

Silly dog Bai Jin circled around the sapling, curious.

Seeing this,

Chen Yun chuckled and then poured a continuous stream of nurturing ability and Life Force into the ginkgo sapling, beginning the catalysis.

The next moment,

The ginkgo sapling started to grow at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Similar to a time-lapse film of rapid plant growth,

with a faint sense of frame skipping.

Of course, Chen Yun certainly wouldn’t let it feel as fast as frame skipping.

But in the eyes of black bear Xiong Da and silly dog Bai Jin,

This scene was absolutely astonishing.

After catalyzing the ginkgo sapling to grow as tall as him while ensuring that it wouldn’t perish as long as it wasn’t cut down, Chen Yun temporarily ceased his efforts.

At that point, everything concluded.

He had done nearly everything he had set out to do at this place where the dream began.

Reuniting with an old friend, the black bear, revisiting the site of his first kill, and planting a ginkgo tree.

Three goals had been accomplished.

Next,

was to let this long-lived ginkgo tree grow on its own.

Perhaps thousands of years later, when he revisited this place,

He would be able to say with deep emotion:

"There is a ginkgo tree on the mountain, planted by my hand in the year of my first evolution—now it stands tall and expansive like a canopy."
