The Supreme God

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.
