"Is this the power of a Saint?"
The Plane Merchant seed and his Saint identity resonated, reviving him from a stillborn-like state.
"With such power, if I advance further, I could create things out of thin air, transform matter."

"This is an unexpected pleasure," Gu Shanhai realized that his Past Life World Tree Form, thanks to his Half-step God physique, had also restored a trace of the World Tree's might, no longer a mere shell like before.
"Too bad, I'm not planning on following the path of the World Tree anymore."
