Aurelius and the others were not surprised by Liu Shu's retreat. Their lack of surprise was not because of their superiority, but because Liu Shu's behavior was exactly the same as other World Trees.
The grand majority of World Trees were easily dealt with as long as you clearly stated your business and origin and didn't lie too much. If, once in their territory, you didn't bother the World Tree and their bottom lines, you were permitted to do as you pleased.
So, once Liu Shu retreated, the five of them and other merchant leaders used their communication devices and gathered into a large hologram room.
All 28 ships belonged to different merchant chains, so there were exactly 28 seats for each of them. They didn't know that Liu Shu had already pierced their shields with her perception and was staring straight at them.
Cassian opened up the communications between them. He, wearing an elegant suit, spoke up calmly. "What are your first impressions of this World Tree?"
Darius spoke confidently. "I can sense that she is strong. However, her behavior is standard World Tree attitude. We have nothing to fear and can dock into their planet without problems."
Selene looked out with curiosity. "This World Tree has strong control over space. That explains why our estimations fell so short. Otherwise, her growth could only be described as ridiculous."
Cassian glanced at the woman, thoughtful. "Your species is very sensitive to space and every related attribute. Have you noticed anything special?"
"Yes." Selene nodded. "The ability to manipulate space doesn't lose out to those humanoid beings born with innate abilities to control it. That means that the Heavenly Willow is like a massive human with top-notch spatial attributes. Her strength might not be exceptional, but I doubt anyone below Level 175 can deal with her."
Aurelius spoke for the first time. "What about experts?"
Virelya snorted. "Are you serious? A is basically powerless in front of a expert. Remember, a expert receives a on top of their , , and another large boost. Finally, Level 200 is the level that unlocks the . This makes Level 199 and 200 two worlds apart."
Selene nodded. "I do agree with her. For someone at Level 200 to have troubles with a Level 199 or below is ridiculous. It's a completely new world in both strength and how you see the cosmos."
Aurelius agreed with them, but he still spoke with caution. "I just felt a big threat from her roots. Hence, I thought of asking if any of you felt the same. My estimations are that she is as strong as a top-tier powerhouse at Level 199. So, you all better tread carefully."
Darius was skeptical. "Are you sure? From our intel, this World Tree is probably not older than two centuries old. A World Tree of that age has usually not even managed to dominate the continent they were born in, much less become a True World Tree."
Cassian spoke calmly. "That's why, since she has managed to expand this far, we must be careful. Her strength is something that can't be underestimated. Otherwise, we will suffer. Just think that all of our ships can't defeat her and work with that in mind. I don't care if we overshoot her strength, but it is better to be safe than sorry."
Looking at the Daemon, Virelya nodded. "I do agree. We are here to gather information, not to conquer this place. With the level of our wares, we will easily be able to carve a place in the empire's economy. Once we do, it will be hard for the World Tree to make us leave even if she wants to."
Liu Shu, listening to their conversation, smiled silently. 'I would actually love it if you could suppress my locals. Let them know that there are peaks beyond mountains, and ceilings beyond the sky.'
Was she afraid of her locals being suppressed by these foreign powers forever? First, check :
***
: While under its influence, all beings gain heightened creation abilities and improved coordination in works that advance society. There is a small chance of becoming and gaining a with the same name. While under the effects of the Blessing or the Title, you gain:
</p><p>Learning, comprehension, and innovation in craft-related techniques increase by 500%.
</p><p>Construction, crafting, and refinement speed increase by 50%.
</p><p>Whenever you work alongside at least one ally, efficiency and precision increase by 35%.
</p><p>Crafted items have a 0.5% chance to emerge with a minor blessing, increasing their quality by one sub-tier and granting a simple special effect.
</p><p>Tools, structures, and devices you create or maintain gain 30% increased durability and 10% increased functionality (excluding <Temple> structures).
</p><p>Organizational or technical methods you design spread 20% faster to others within your influence.
</p><p><Ingenuity-Touched>: You gain a subconscious ability to see structural patterns and design flaws, allowing you to improve or stabilize creations without prior planning according to your education level and comprehension level of the craft.
</p><p>***
</p><p>With these buffs, on top of the others she gave with her <Otherworldly Rune and Nature Empire> and <True Ruler World Tree>, she was quite sure that these people were like fresh meat placed before voracious sharks.
</p><p>'Try to suppress them. Try to use your technology. Then… get devoured by my people and myself. In my competitive society, there is no room for slackers. So, be careful.'
</p><p>Liu Shu honestly couldn't wait for these merchants to deploy their methods and stomp everyone.
</p><p>After their conversation, the following discussion proceeded about labor distribution. These 28 merchant ships were not random merchants gathered by chance. Each of them excelled in different areas.
</p><p>Aurelius excelled in all that related to contracts and diplomacy. His merchant group was an expert at managing businesses and providing services for anything remotely competitive. If one side had its services and the other didn't, Aurelius was quite confident in crushing the competition.
</p><p>Cassian was a ruthless acquisitionist. He excelled at creating banks, controlling debt, and infiltrating until he got resource monopolies. He could, in a short time, become an overlord in whatever economic area he decided to tackle while enslaving others in endless yet seemingly profitable debt.
</p><p>Selene, a species innately powerful in space and related fields, was an expert in trade routes, interconnected warehouses, and other related services. Once you tested their services, storing your wares with any other company would feel like going from a premium subscription to a free one.
</p><p>Darius, while looking more upright than the rest, was actually an expert in creating black markets under the noses of authorities. His working methods were always perfectly skirting the legal, while making sure that some hidden routes allowed for the exchange of otherwise banned or scarce products.
</p><p>Finally, Virelya was an expert at information wars. Once she settled down, her information network spread like an unstoppable vine, and before you knew it, every secret of your company would be in their database. Her company then sold and bought information, creating infinite profit just by listening.
</p><p>The others were a mix of their qualities, with not many of them being experts in prime resource gathering. The reason was that each planet was too peculiar in regard to its resources. Therefore, it was difficult to create a stable income from such traders.
</p><p>Most galaxy merchants used prime resources and similar as secondary profits.
</p><p>Liu Shu absorbed everything, her mind quickly organizing how to settle each of these big bosses. Moreover, she found something quite peculiar.
</p><p>'While they gathered from different professional ambits to have as little friction with each other as possible… I can feel tensions.'
</p><p>When they discussed together, Liu Shu had already mapped out where each of them would go and how they would start forcefully chomping a large part of the market. And yet… Some of them wanted to overreach.
</p><p>'Clearly, these fleets are not friends. They are also competitors. Moreover, I can sense some alliances within. It seems that the <Astral Fold> and <Radiant Accord> are close, while the <Crimson Dominion> and <Shattered Ring> share similarities. The <Umbral Imperium> feels neutral, but with their specialty, I would not be surprised if they are interconnected with all of them.'
</p><p>As she sorted them all out, their ships accelerated, traveling through space extremely quickly. Liu Shu was somewhat surprised. 'These ships… they are using spatial shields to approach light speed to the limit. Won't they be able to travel faster than light in an emptier void?'
</p><p>She was not sure, as these merchant ships were extremely advanced compared to anything she had seen before. 'Actually, not all of them are like that. The ones with these spatial fluctuations are those of the super civilizations. The rest are just barely keeping up.'
</p><p>With this, she confirmed that, even when their empires were far, their top-tier armies could most likely approach her Solar System faster than she initially expected.
</p><p>Even at near-light speed, they would take several minutes to arrive. Therefore, she was not in a hurry.
</p><p>"Flor, you'll have new visitors soon."
</p><p>"Visitors?" The fairy stopped tapping on a keyboard and asked, confused. "What visitors?"
</p><p>"Merchants." Liu Shu didn't clarify much. "There are around 28 merchant ships, each of them from a different civilization. Don't worry about their strength; their strongest person is Level 181, but their stats are poorer than Cael's. While there are many, and their threat is not negligible, they are not some sort of primal threat we can't deal with."
</p><p>Flor blinked, her ruby-like eyes blinking with curiosity. Then, she asked, confused. "Baby, why don't you give me more details?"
</p><p>Liu Shu used a root to caress her cheek gently. "Because they are perfect… fertilizer. Try not to get crushed too easily, alright, Mom? If you ever need help, I will intervene. However, unless the rules are being blatantly disrespected, I will fall back for a little bit and act like a 'normal' World Tree to deceive them."
</p><p>Flor's intelligence had long grown to a high level, so even with the vagueness of her warning, she was quick to the uptake and pieced things together.
</p><p>She leaned back, her hand tenderly caressing Liu Shu's roots. 'These merchants are probably from civilizations as strong, if not stronger than the Nexus. Otherwise, Liu Shu would have no need to deceive them. Her current strength is already high enough to allow her to act with impunity in the local area.'
</p><p>If that was the case, Liu Shu's gentle and hidden reminder made sense. 'Their technology, resources, and probably methods themselves are miles ahead of ours. When we clash in the market, we'll be instantly suppressed. So…' Her eyes flashed, a smirk tugging at the corner of her lips. 'They are perfect fodder for us to grow explosively and reach a galactic level of competence.'
</p><p>She flapped her wings, slowly levitating up from her chair and standing on the large desk. "Ignatia, Mariane, Harmonixia, Cinderielle, Verdantia, Tempestria. Come to my office."
</p><p>Liu Shu smiled, satisfied.
</p><p>Meanwhile, Aionthra, sitting on her crystal and wooden throne, looked at Flor with a faint smile. "Grandmother is not bad at all. She quickly understood most of your hints and is preparing to act on them. I am quite eager to see this clash."
</p><p>Liu Shu laughed and tenderly caressed her big empress girl with her roots. "Me too, love. Me too."

With only a few short years until the brutal War of the Plains begins, she must rise fast enough to defy fate — or watch her entire clan be wiped out once again.\nThankfully, she awakens the legendary War Goddess System.\nHer first quest is simple:\n[Hunt an F-Rank Spirit Beast: 1/1]\nComplete!\n+10 Strength\nSkill Acquired: War Spirit Physique (C-Rank)\nBut something was wrong.\nThe quest refused to end. Instead, it keeps triggering over and over, fusing and evolving her physique with every completion. What should have been a minor reward spirals into something monstrous:\n[Great War Spirit Physique (B-Rank)]\n[Great War Demigoddess Physique (A-Rank)]\n[Great War Goddess Physique (S-Rank)]\n[Supreme War Goddess Physique (SSS-Rank)]\n[Six-Armed Demonic War Goddess Asura Physique (X-Rank)]\nBy the time she turns fifteen, the once-weak Red Fang Tribe has become an unstoppable force. Legendary barbarian clans that once looked down on them now kneel in the dirt, their proud chiefs trembling as they beg for mercy.\n“Please spare us, oh Tyrannical War Goddess!”\n“We surrender everything — our lands, our treasures, our loyalty!”\nWith six divine arms of shadowed divinity rising behind her and an aura that makes the heavens tremble, she stands unchallenged across the Green Plains. The glitch that was supposed to be a bug became her greatest blessing.\nNow, the Grand Labyrinth, the Tower of Gods, the Dimensional Expanse, the Nine Heavenly Realms, and even the distant Cosmic Sea will soon tremble at her name.\nShe was once just a player. Now, she has become the final boss of this world.\n\nLong Chapters (3000~4000 words at the beginning) then it goes down to 2000 to 1500 words later on.\n\nWhat to expect:\n\n-Fast paced story at the beginning to gain your interest. It will slow down midway through to properly develop characters, world setting, etc.\n-OP MC. This is an Overpowered Main Character story. It doesn't mean she will not face difficulties, as some of them will be beyond just fighting to solve them.\n-Slice of Life.

I know abruptly cutting it off would seem like a waste of coins for you all, especially my most invested readers, Daoist_Large_Slong and a few others.\n\nThis work has been my first and best novel idea, but executed poorly, I'd say. That's why I'm closing this one and I'm going to be restarting it after a full-blown revision of the story idea.\n\nIf you decide to read the new one which will probably be dropping next year, I'm letting you know that it won't be the same plot or chapters so it won't be a waste of coins. \n\nThe way it was executed here was really rough, as it was my first attempt so I'm not going to start it again until I'm sure it's several times better. And I'm going to be taking the critics on this one seriously so I can produce something I love, and you all love too.\n\nThanks for your time, and sorry once again! \n\n\n\"I want to be free…\"\nKaiser Solace always dreamed to be free—from responsibilities, expectations, limits, and even the laws that bound humanity. To him, freedom was ultimate pleasure—an intoxicating dream beyond reach.\n\nHowever, his dream was not something attainable. In truth, true freedom could never exist. Yet, in a world ruled by control and measured by power, Kaiser saw hope in the ability he awakened—[Freedom].\n\nThough, raw and incomplete, it fueled his resolve to pursue his dream. With that ability, he slowly carved a path the world had never witnessed—a path to absolute freedom.","pvNum":469004,"bookType":0,"checkLevel":15,"categoryType":5,"categoryId":70002,"categoryName":"Fantasy","coverId":1774700908148,"chapterCnt":275,"firstChapterId":"93198079662030403","lastChapterId":"98845538601980059","lastChapterName":"Saturday Shopping (2)","lastChapterTime":1788270367000},{"bookId":"34772221708021905","bookName":"The Milf's Dragon","authorName":"Bechi_Kingston","authorId":"26848204405764501","description":"[Host has been tamed!]\n\n[Beast Tamer Connection established!]\n\n[Master: Yuki Goldberg (F-Rank beast tamer)]\n\n[Tamed Beast (host): SSS-Rank Baby Dragon]\n\nDing!\n\n[Exp Threshold Reached!
