Fantasy Starting from the Stone Age - Chapter 44



Only Noblemtl

Episode 44. Evil 5

This time, I thought that the sense of height and distance was truly scary.

The tree, which appeared to be of little height, was in fact taller than the largest mountain he knew.

The narrow spiral staircase leading down from the hollow in the center of the tree actually looked wide and sturdy enough to accommodate hundreds of people marching side by side.

“Really get this up there.”

There was no reason for All Chaun to climb up that thing with his own legs.

The spirit of the kneeling giraffe that had been left in the hands of others for a while. He placed the palanquin in the Onlu Dobang and climbed onto it to ride up.

The giraffe is a truly enormous creature, and the tree is so tall that it would take hundreds or thousands of steps for the giraffe to climb. It was truly majestic, and there was something about its size that overwhelmed everything else.

And the woman who created this was an outrageous being.

All of this is, strictly speaking, far from being ‘strong’.

He may have been a hero, but he was not a warrior.

He had accomplishments as a founder and exemplary ruler of the tribe, but he had no accomplishments as a military leader who suppressed all enemies with sternness.

Strictly speaking, the swamp demon was defeated by the power of Datang Oram······. In that sense, this tree was truly strong.

I could tell. It’s strong. It can kill and destroy anything it wants. It’s even stronger than Datang Oram.

No, maybe not just Datang Oram, but maybe he’s stronger than the entire Datang combined. Enough to kill them all if he wants.

Although he tried not to keep them, Ol Cha-un confirmed that the corpses of those who had not been able to escape were scattered among the overgrown plants.

Not all deaths are mourned and suffered. Ol Chaun was a leader of the primitive-prehistoric era, when life expectancy was extremely low. He saw his people starve to death, die from disease, and be eaten.

The same was true of his compatriots who died while adventuring. It was a bit of a strange expression, but Ol Chaun now considered the dead to be just unlucky. He thought about how people could live without risking their lives.

It is different from the catastrophic disease called Hanjutamal or the hundreds of thousands of people he killed. They came to witness the emergence of Mine Nirun and to share in the moment of innovation, and then they died. Although Ol Chaun felt sorry for their deaths, he was not sad.

But it is true that it is uncomfortable.

“How many dead?”

I don’t think it’s hundreds of thousands. It’s probably not even tens of thousands.

But it seems that thousands of people died, whether they were trampled to death or something. These huge trees and dense forests were built on top of that death.

“By the way, I feel really dizzy······!”

And then I wondered, when on earth will this staircase end?

The minefields are almost at the point where they still need to climb.

We have reached a point where we can see fruits that resemble celestial bodies in the sky, almost as if clouds are just about to touch them.

And finally, All Chaun enters the place he was invited to. The place where the owner of this giant tree is.

“Are you here?”

As he asked, a bright light came on from within. All Chaun didn’t understand what kind of harmony it was, but in fact, he wasn’t surprised at what appeared now.

“Oh, cool! You came!”

And then she appears, completely rejuvenated. Before I saw her, she looked somewhat middle-aged, but seeing her like this, it seems clear that she has experienced a transformation.

In fact, it would have been stranger if she hadn’t been able to shed her shell. Ol Chaun asks cautiously, knowing that the madness he feels from her is still less.

“What about clothes?”

“Oh! You made new clothes? How are they? I picked them from plants.”

“That’s cool.”

“lol······.”

The sight of her awkwardly twisting her hair was something that Ol Cha-woon knew well.

By the way, of course, All Chaun knew her before this incident.

A long time ago, you came to me saying you wanted to have my child, and after that, you experienced many unusual events and became the best plant expert.

In that respect, the essence has not changed.

“Did you create this huge tree or landscape?”

“It’s a little different. At first, I thought I would just grow the tree bigger, but… somehow it ended up like this.”

“her.”

“It’s a bit ugly, but if you make it a little more symmetrical, it could be made beautiful. Originally, a wreath would look better if it had several flowers woven together rather than just one, right?”

“I see······. Can you still use herbal medicine?”

“Yes! Of course. In fact, it’s more than that!”

She could make lightning strike the ground from the fruits hanging from the giant trees when she gave a signal outside. She could also create storms, rainstorms, and other things.

“I think the source of what I thought was the power of plants was the red moon.”

“okay?”

“Yes! Bring me whatever the red moonlight brings. This giant tree has the power of the spirits. And it moves as I wish!”

“······.”

“You can even create living things as you wish!”

In doing so, she created a tree in the shape of a scorpion, the most common creature and monster in this desert.

The tree scorpion made a throne out of bushes and trees on its back and allowed Ojo Lorun to sit on it. All Chaun simply sat on the kneeling Onla Dobang.

“So, I did it! Me! I turned the desert into green space. Great All Chaun!”

She opens her eyes wide and looks at Ol Chaun. Ol Chaun is sweating coldly, but she doesn’t know why Datang Oram feels so cold.

It was his first time being looked up to by someone who was obviously stronger than him. He had always been strong. So he remembered the old days when he had trembled in fear of leopards and lions.

“Yeah, yeah. Well done. It looks like the shell has been removed. It’s quite a feat. I don’t think there will be many people who died because of this······.”

To be honest, I didn’t kill them because I wanted to, and if you get angry because I killed a few more people, you’ll only end up making fun of yourself for killing hundreds of thousands of people.

“Really? I’ll try to save you once!”

“?”

As she waved her hand, things that looked like a mixture of Daton and plants rose from the floor. They looked around, then looked surprised at the sight of All Chaun.

“All cold?!”

Of course, I wasn’t as surprised as I thought.

“Hey, are you alive?”

“Did I die? I remember the giant roots covering me at the end.”

“What about other memories? Do you remember when you were born and what you did for a living?”

I remember the verification results, she said.

“Datang Oram absorbs memories! That must be why he has memories.”

“I see. Okay. That······.”

As Ol Chaun was saying that, he suddenly burst into tears.

“You were able to come back from the dead······. That’s fortunate. That’s fortunate······!”

He doesn’t care about death. He thinks that those who go on adventures and take on challenges must have done so while risking death, and he has tried to ignore their sacrifices.

Actually······. Of course, it’s not that I wasn’t sad. I just thought I wasn’t sad. All of this made me cry because the dead people were brought back to life in such a form.

To be honest, the sight of it mixed with plants is objectively a bit disgusting.

Fortunately, I think the resurrection of the dead is something to be happy about, so I don’t feel that way much.

All Chaun decided not to care about such things.

And she looked up with her eyes wide open.

“My name!”

“Uh, yeah?”

“Please give me a name! Ozo Lorun is no longer a name that suits me!”

“Oh, I see······! Ozo Chaun (plant friend) is a bit like that. Hmm.”

All of this, I wonder if the person who committed this ridiculous act is really on the same level as us. I just thought I should kneel down······.

“How about Osojo-in Gulmyeong?”

It is translated as ‘Emperor of the Great Forest’. In their vocabulary, ‘Gulmu’ is not a title that can be given to a person. Even the managers who can command others are at best ‘Gulmu’. This can be said to be a title on par with ‘Emperor’.

It’s a very excessive title, considering that even All Chaun is a close friend. It’s also a tribute to herself.

“I like it! Then I’m Gulmyeong. This is now Datang’s 6th mineni run!”

All Chaun blinked.

“Huh? That’s not it?”

As I answered as if it was so obvious, the atmosphere suddenly became incredibly cold.

The revived Datons feel like the hair and leaves on their entire bodies are standing on end.

“What are you talking about?”

All the way to the bathroom, I’m flustered and groping.

“Ah, no······. Aren’t you supposed to be managing this place? Can this place be controlled without you?”

“I don’t think so either. Are you saying that even after achieving such great feats, I can’t become a main runner?!”

“No, no, it’s not a question of achievement.”

“yes?”

All Chaun says as if he wonders why he has to tell such an obvious story.

“······Doesn’t Mainirun refer to people who live in Mainirun? You can’t live in Mainirun, so you’re not a Mainirun.”

In that moment, Gulmyeong’s expression became grim as if someone had hit his head with a hammer.

“Oh, no. Wait a minute. No.”

“No, I’m going to sleep······.”

“No, wait! That’s ridiculous! I’m not Minnie Run! Then what am I!”

“Something a little higher level than that······.”

“AAAAAHHHH! I don’t like it! I don’t like it! I want to do mine! This is ridiculous! Why did I do this!”

“But still, calling someone who doesn’t live in Mainirun Mainirun is a bit······.”

Suddenly, something occurred to her.

“Ah. Then I guess I can just move the tree to the holy place!”

“······.”

“······.”

“Oh, I see! I’ll think about this, so please take a look······.”

The celestial bodies in the sky are the greatest.

The sun that rises and sets every day provides nutrients that nourish plants.

The crescent moon attached to Dator creates spirits and mental powers.

And the red moon, moving slowly from west to east, creates the essence of life, persistent hunger and longing.

All things are born and grow by the movements of the heavenly bodies. Plants are the most coarse form of mindless life.

Animals are sentient beings. So are monsters.

The shape of the Earth is cyclical due to the movement of celestial bodies, air, water, and earth.

While animals roam the ground and spread out, plants cling to the sky and climb higher. That is why only plants can use the power of the sky.

And great plant magicians like ‘Ojosoin Gulmyeong’ can infuse plants with the hunger and longing of the Red Moon to grow into desired forms and manipulate them like animals.

Not only that, it is also possible to steal the life and abilities of all things and give them to plants. Because of this, the spirit has no ego and is not affected by Hanjutamal, but it exerts a strange power that allows it to use the power of the spirit.

Those who come to the Great Forest ‘Osojo’ while on the verge of death, or those who have converted themselves, will now become plant magicians. They cannot leave a certain area, but they will not die and will age more slowly.

And the largest wooden horse in the center of Osozou······. This one has a name.

“It’s the biggest and most important thing in Osozou, so it’s definitely Osozoe, right?”

“······.”

“I made a slip of the tongue.”

“You often make slips of the tongue, Laurent. I’m disappointed. Give me a different name.”

“Yes. That, Mainirun is the closest place to heaven and earth. It means the origin of heaven and earth, and this tree is the very combination of heaven and earth, so it is called Mainirun······.”

“Then, from now on, Osojoin Gulmyeong will live in Mainnirae and be called Mainniraen. Do you understand?”

Due to Gulmyeong’s strong will to become a Mainiran no matter what, her tree was suddenly given the name Mainiran.

Neither the word red, nor the word plant, nor the word tall were attached to it.

Anyway, there was some controversy over the rejection and its definition, but the 6th MainiRun Osozoin Gulmyeong was born!

Early reconstruction period before the appearance of Paldin Core.

The period in which the evil spirits appear and the evil spirits rise is called the mid-term.

And after the creation of the Great Forest (Osojo), Daton calls it the later period.

The great forest completely covered the northern deserts and plains. With the power of the spirits, it created all kinds of terrain, and the trees created the climate itself, so it was like a giant botanical garden.

The nutrients from the earth could be extracted to produce plants and their fruits, so agriculture became unnecessary.

While the Erin tribe worked hard to dig the ground and weed the fields to farm, the Daesurim simply produced food in suitable places using magic.

Of course, Darton also knew that there were problems with this system.

The memory of being defeated in one week by relying solely on spirit magic is so painful that instead of relying on it for food, they still live a hunter-gatherer lifestyle and are passionate about ‘plant engineering’, such as breeding and creating various plants through mystery.

The national power of Datang was now beyond imagination. A super-state was born that overwhelmed all the countries of the world in population, economy, culture, technology, politics, and literally every other sector.

At this point, the Tang Dynasty is in a state of prosperity reminiscent of the old paradise era.

All Datons were able to eat as much as they wanted from birth until death, worked for at most 3 hours a day, and spent the rest happily on hobbies, lovemaking, and traveling. As long as they didn’t get caught in the middle of a week-long fight.

However, the great prosperity of this late reconstruction period had a strange flow from the very same time period.

This time it’s not a disaster.

7500 years ago, in the mythical era, human communities that would influence and interact with the great Datang began to appear in this vicinity.

It is a nation-building that is much faster than the history of mankind on Earth. At this point, mankind on Earth was only just entering the Neolithic Age and living an agricultural life.

The later period of reconstruction is defined by exchanges between Datang and other countries that admire Datang. Those who admire Datang’s wealth and culture come over.

And the next period is [the period of struggle]. Eventually, they interact with Datang and develop, and eventually they end up challenging this great nation.

Their rise and fall. And their conflict.

Let’s check it out for yourself now.
