Inside the shelter of an underground bomb shelter.
Aaron entered meditation and felt the fluctuations of the group's subconscious ocean.
There are fine ripples coming from everywhere, converging into the same brand.
It was an image of a kindly master with a vague face, spreading the seeds of the ‘Tree of Hope’!
"Relying on Enid and the others' activeness and helping me deceive people everywhere, have you finally gathered enough 'influence'?"
A smile appeared on the corner of Aaron's mouth.
"When you tell a lie too many times, it becomes the truth! This is somewhat similar to the way of faith..."
In the blink of an eye, it has been more than three months since he came to the eighth level of history.
During this period, apart from inquiring about the spiritual world, the 'Mother of the Night', and the news of the end of the world, Aaron did not take any other action. He was just accumulating the 'power of the secret source'.
And now, he has felt enough 'belief'.
Aaron sighed, his eyes swept over the vague-looking figure, aimed at the golden seeds in his hand, and used 'Thinking Alchemy'.
Soon, a dozen pea-sized seeds fell from the void. They were dark golden in color and had complex lines on their surface.
Taking these seeds of the 'Hope Tree', Aaron went to the deepest part of the shelter and knocked on Ayifa's door...
"Please come in."
In the room, Ayifa was watching the reports from various hunting teams and caravans with a headache.
"The lie has been spread. If it is finally found to be false, the credibility of the entire shelter will be destroyed..."
During this period of time, she had been feeling worried about this matter.
However, after seeing Aaron, a smile immediately appeared on Ayifa's face: "Your Excellency Aaron, could it be?"
"Um."
Aaron didn't say much, but showed the dark golden seed in his hand: "The seed of hope is here!"
This method of ‘refining falsehood into reality’ is also a novel experience for Aaron.
However, the reason why he worked so hard to create the myth of the 'Hope Tree' was not just to help the people in the shelter.
In fact, helping these apocalyptic people is just a casual plan. His real plan is to be promoted to a 'life scientist'.
"Very good."
Ayifa immediately stood up and took a 'Seed of Hope': "Let's go... let's go to the breeding room immediately!"
The important place for shelter, the cultivation room.
A piece of black soil has been cleared out of the core area, and Ayifa personally planted the pea-sized 'seeds of hope'.
Around her, Enid and other senior members of the shelter had already gathered.
"Then...sprinkle water, is that enough?"
Enid asked incredulously.
"That's all right. Sprinkle some water every day, and then... just wait... and you'll probably be able to harvest within a month at the latest."
Aaron nodded.
The calmer he acted, the more worried Ayifa and others became, and even waited here directly.
It wasn't until more than ten minutes later that Enid rubbed her eyes and said, "It's sprouted... it's sprouted."
"Um?"
Ayifa squatted on the ground and saw a few thin golden buds sprouting from the ground, and his eyes couldn't help but feel moist.
As a non-human being, this is simply unbelievable.
But as a doomsday survivor, she still lost her composure when hope came.
…
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
"The 'hope tree' is just a lie!"
Ryder, the leader of the ground survivors who had made deals with Enid before, came to the air raid shelter in person. Some recent rumors and secretly inquiring information made him deeply suspicious and disappointed.
"Is this just a fairy tale, a lie... false hope?"
He felt disillusioned that his dream was shattered, and even wanted to desperately find Enid.
But in the blink of an eye, his upbringing as a leader allowed him to quickly suppress his anger, and he only felt a strong sense of sadness.
Now, even the largest shelter nearby can only rely on lies to maintain its existence?
It may even be that an extraordinary out-of-control event occurred here, causing everyone's cognition to be tampered with?
"Chief Ryder."
At this time, Ayifa came over and looked at the many foreign leaders with different expressions: "Regarding the news about the 'Hope Tree', we have also implemented a certain blockade in the shelter... But I can guarantee that it is real. You
Follow me."
She took everyone to the incubation room and reached the deepest part.
In the darkness, a dozen trees like apple trees emitted a faint golden light in the darkness.
Ryder rubbed his eyes and saw that the top of the apple tree was covered with a fruit similar to breadfruit, which bent the branches.
And at the bottom of the stump of the 'Golden Apple Tree', a pale white object that resembled Tai Sui grew out.
"Ladies and gentlemen...this is the 'Hope Tree'. It matures in one month and can produce hundreds of pounds of breadfruit and hundreds of pounds of meat..."
Ayifa declared proudly.
"This...is this true?"
Ryder rubbed his eyes and even cast a spell to confirm that he was not under an illusion.
He stepped forward and broke off a piece of breadfruit to confirm its authenticity.
Then, he thought of his wife and several children who had starved to death, and knelt in front of the "Hope Tree" with tears flowing uncontrollably.
"When each 'Hope Tree' matures, it will produce dozens of seeds at the top."
Ayifa stepped forward, picked off the dark golden 'Seeds of Hope' one by one, and handed them to Ryder: "Now... I will hand over the 'Seeds of Hope' to you. No other requirements are needed. I only need one."
She stared at the leaders with different expressions and said in a heavy voice: "You need to spread this crop and give it to everyone who needs it! Since morality no longer works, I will sign a binding agreement with you.
Contract, those who violate it will suffer the consequences of bad luck!"
"Thank you! Thank you..."
Ryder stroked the 'Seed of Hope' as if stroking a rare treasure: "I swear, I will definitely keep my promise. You are really a great and noble man."
"No, the noble one is the one who cultivated this crop."
Ayifa replied with a sigh.
"Where is the Druid Master? I want to thank him in person. This cannot express my gratitude at all." Ryder looked around and asked excitedly.
"That lord is not in the shelter."
Ayifa replied: "He has already embarked on a journey alone... However, I am going to establish today as a 'harvest day' to commemorate that great Excellency, his name is...Aaron!"
…
I don't know how far away it is from the refuge.
In a certain shelter.
Aaron once again sent out a batch of 'Seeds of Hope', with a smile on his lips: "False propaganda will eventually be exposed... Only the appearance of real items can trigger a wave of emotions! If there is any expectation mixed with it,
, the routine of doubt, loss, despair, and then hope again, makes it easier to become convinced!”
The reason why this trick is played is because it is also beneficial to those people in the last days.
As long as they firmly believe that the ‘hope tree’ in their hands is real, then it is real!
