Chapter 2779: Chapter 1192: Symbiotic Relationship

"Since these Purple Worms are more valuable than we imagined, it’s worth investing more effort and cost into them."

Gaven naturally wouldn’t tell the Earth Bear that this result also exceeded his expectations, and he eagerly planned: "This unique magical beast is rare in the Material Plane; the Earth Elemental Plane is their true homeland.

Spend more time there and see if you can find more Purple Worms, so the name of their race can be truly deserved."

The Earth Elemental Plane is an endless expanse of land filled with countless tunnels and caves, a paradise for creatures like the tunneling Purple Worms.

Or rather, Purple Worms are an invasive species from the Material Plane, and the Earth Elemental Plane is their native plane.

As for how they ended up in the Material Plane by chance?

Or did someone realize their utility in digging tunnels and introduced them to the Material Plane?

That remains unknown.

Now that Gaven has realized their value, he naturally wouldn’t let them go easily.

Those three juvenile Purple Worms are not worth his waste of Divine Nature Force.

Even if he doesn’t mind spending Divine Nature Force, he wouldn’t waste it foolishly; good steel must be used on the blade.

"I will venture into the Earth Elemental Plane to help you search for traces of Purple Worms, but the enlightenment of divine nature requires careful consideration." The Earth Bear’s robust face couldn’t hide its pain.

The value of these divine Purple Worms is undeniable, but for him, who has just stepped into demigod status, the consumption is a bit too much.

With blessings already given to Zalanda and Kellysha, his scarce Divine Nature Force was nearly depleted.

Seeing the Earth Bear’s financial embarrassment, Gaven responded with a smile: "Trust me, Divine Nature Force isn’t something you accumulate, but rather you expand channels to earn. Investing in these Purple Worms is a highly cost-effective choice; later, they’ll return the favor manyfold."

He not only wanted to suppress his own level, but also intended to appropriately suppress the levels of his capable allies, to coordinate more activities.

He has already tasted the sweetness of using Divine Nature Force on a large scale, which can accelerate many processes, especially like the Earth Bear, which he personally shaped with the highest alignment, naturally speeding up his growth.

Otherwise, relying solely on manpower to develop his divine position could take not only decades but even centuries, which is not uncommon.

He has no habit of enduring hardship without making it bearable.

Some True Gods ignore the full utilization, insisting on letting ordinary people grow on their own.

True Gods lead, ordinary followers follow, rapidly developing.

Once developed, they will, in turn, nourish the Gods, making them stronger.

This is the most normal, healthy symbiotic relationship between Gods and mortals in Gaven’s eyes.

Indeed.

This is a symbiotic relationship.

Except for a few Concept Gods who don’t rely on faith, any Faith Gods have this kind of relationship with mortals.

Without mortals’ faith, their fall is inevitable.

So don’t talk about Gods being high and mighty.

Only by adjusting their mindset can they better develop and grow.

Currently, whichever God adjusts their mindset quickly can enjoy the benefits of the era’s development.

"I’ve never doubted your insight." Earth Bear affirmed in response, "But the premise is having the capital, I can at best enlighten one more, and my divine nature will be exhausted."

"By the time you find a second group of Purple Worms, you might already have ample Divine Nature Force." Gaven was confident in this, not in the Earth Bear, but in himself, "Even for you, searching for Purple Worms in the Earth Elemental Plane is like finding a needle in a haystack; it won’t yield results quickly!"

"That’s true," Earth Bear agreed.

This time they found the nest of Purple Worms, benefiting from the Earth Stone’s advantage.

Without the help of the Earth Stone, the Bear’s Divine Sense could at most perceive one kilometer within the earth.

The belief that True Gods are omniscient and omnipotent is the survivor’s bias of those believers.

Those who did not receive timely responses from their True Gods either perished and couldn’t tell their stories or became disillusioned, completely abandoning their faith for other True Gods.

And through the faith connection between True Gods and their believers, they indeed become omniscient regarding the believers, but this doesn’t apply to non-believers.

"Master, I can offer assistance in this matter." A telepathic message sounded beside.

It came from the Tunnel Purple Worm by Gaven’s side.

After enlightenment granting Intelligence, the two Purple Worms gained the ability of telepathy.

This wasn’t a natural reaction, but Gaven intentionally included this ability in the enlightenment package.

For special monsters like Purple Worms, trying to make them speak is indeed asking for too much.

Gaven immediately responded, "Do you have a way to call or gather other Purple Worms?"

Purple Worms living in the earth are like whales in the ocean; living in clusters like these before him are certainly the minority.

Most are solitary, scattered across the vast land due to their terrifying appetite.

Yet they’re not single-celled organisms capable of self-replicating, so they must reproduce.
