Infinite Disasters: I Hoarded My Way to Godhood novel Chapter 500

Chapter 500: Chapter 500: Building the Lord’s Sanctuary

Just as the three of them were working fervently, a commotion broke out at the Shelter’s entrance.

One, two, three... a whole herd of over twenty Four Seasons Deer were filing in through the entrance.

At the head of the herd was the largest one, the leader. It held its head high, its gait elegant, as if it were inspecting its own territory.

Behind the Deer Herd, Dexter Luther spread his hands with an innocent look on his face. "Sullivan, I didn’t bring them here! They insisted on following me in. I couldn’t stop them!"

Before Seraphina Sullivan could say anything, a system notification chimed in her mind:

[Ding! Four Seasons Deer (24) have requested to enter your Lord’s Sanctuary. Do you approve?]

[Notice: Each Four Seasons Deer will occupy 1 Shelter member slot.]

Seraphina Sullivan’s eyebrow twitched.

Twenty-four Four Seasons Deer meant twenty-four member slots.

Adding the original seven people, that instantly took up thirty-one slots.

She looked at the Deer Herd.

They were strolling leisurely across the soil. Some lowered their heads to sniff the earth, while others nuzzled each other’s necks, clearly having no intention of acting like outsiders.

The lead deer, meanwhile, met her gaze with a look that seemed to say, ’It’s your call.’

Seraphina Sullivan was silent for two seconds, then she smiled.

"I approve."

A series of system notifications followed, and the Shelter’s member count soared, finally stopping at "31/1000".

Matthew Dawson scratched his head. "Sullivan, you’re not mad? That’s so many slots..."

Seraphina Sullivan shook her head, her gaze falling upon the Deer Herd. "I’m not mad. The benefits they can bring are worth far more than twenty-four slots."

As if to prove her words, the lead deer suddenly reared up and let out a clear, ringing cry.

The next second, all the Four Seasons Deer lowered their heads in unison, faint green motes of light emanating from their mouths.

The motes of light drifted out, landing on the freshly tilled soil, on the uncultivated wasteland in the distance, and in every corner of the Shelter.

Crystal Lynn was surprised to see a small sprout that had just poked through the soil near her hand suddenly shoot up a bit taller.

A catalyst for plants.

The corners of Seraphina Sullivan’s lips lifted. She took something out from her pocket—a palm-sized seed with a warm, reddish-brown luster.

It was the seed from the Treasure Chest she had opened earlier.

[Seed of the Giant Redwood Tree]: When planted, can grow into a towering tree. Its wood can be used for construction, and its canopy can form a natural shelter. Requires a special environment to catalyze growth.

She crouched down, dug a hole in the soft soil with her fingers, gently placed the seed inside, and then covered it with dirt.

"Come on," she said, standing up and looking at the Deer Herd. "Show me what you can do."

The Four Seasons Deer seemed to understand her, turning their heads in unison.

Green motes of light floated from their mouths like ribbons of green silk, slowly descending onto the spot where the seed was buried.

The ground trembled slightly.

A tender green seedling broke through the soil.

Then, before everyone’s shocked eyes, the seedling began to grow at a frantic pace visible to the naked eye—sprouting branches, unfurling leaves, shooting upward, and thickening—

「Ten minutes later.」

A massive Redwood Tree, a full thirty meters tall, now stood majestically in the center of the Shelter!

Its thick trunk would take more than a dozen people to encircle, and its dense canopy, like a giant umbrella, shaded nearly a hundred square meters of land. Soft light filtered through the gaps in the leaves, creating a dappled pattern of light and shadow on the ground.

Crystal Lynn tilted her head back, her mouth agape. "This... this is just unbelievable..."

Even Flora Sullivan showed a rare expression of surprise, her long hair stirring without any wind, as if she were sensing the giant tree’s vitality.

Seraphina Sullivan stood under the tree, reaching out to stroke the rough bark and feel the vibrant Life Force contained within.

"Again!" Sean Chandler grunted. 𝓯𝗿𝗲𝘦𝖜𝚎𝙗𝑛𝗈𝖛𝒆𝘭.𝗰𝗼𝕞
