Frank was suddenly overflowing with new power.

After the Yggdrasil Sprout merged with the Tree of Rebirth, the mystical combination of the two seeped its roots deeply into his Divine Realm, fusing with it and then… obviously, with his very Soul.

As his Divine Realm was located inside his Divine Soul Core inside his Soul, the tree fused with the Soul Core and then his Soul, connecting it to his body afterward, and making him overflow with new power.

After having advanced so much with the power of Death, he had finally acquired a large quantity of the power of life!

Life and Death energies began to flow through his entire body, combining together in perfect harmony, which shouldn't be completely possible with such amounts of power.

However, because Frank held the power to create a balance between elements, which he had showcased by wielding multiple ones before, he was able to contain all of this power and force it into harmony, fusing it with his soul and body.

His physical body absorbed this Life, which was literally the opposite of what he was, as he was a Dracolich, Vampire, and Stargazer.

And because the power was too much to the point that his soul would explode, he shared it with everyone present, which also helped him stabilize himself a bit better.

Not only him but everyone present, even Axitl, received this power of life, which had perfect harmony with everyone.

Both their souls and bodies began to overflow with vitality and life, and everyone began to gain new power.

Their Mana Cores shined brightly, absorbing this power, and increasing their Cultivation strength.

Alongside this, everyone's souls grew vast and strong, undergoing a great qualitative change.

And their muscles, skin, bones, and organs were all fortified and enhanced, everyone could feel their muscles becoming firmer, their blood flowing faster, ad their bones becoming incredibly hard like steel.

Meanwhile, Frank began to feel like he was attaining something new and powerful.

It was as if he had converted into a tree, and everyone present had become his branches.

The tree of his soul merged with the soul of everyone, and they formed a beautiful and enormous spectacle.

The people of Acacia glanced with awe as a gigantic illusory tree made of golden and black colors emerged, this was the materialization of Frank's soul now.

However, it was not only a tree, as it held a large and red-colored bat sitting over it, a skeletal dragon resting over its roots, and a starry night filled with stars made up for its leaves.

It was a spectacle like they had never seen before.

The Soul Tree's branches represented each of Frank's allies present with him at the moment, and each branch had a colorful and distinctive fruit that represented them.

Gwendolyn's fruit was the biggest, resembling a beautiful red apple covered in flames, which had a smaller apple at her side, which was coated with blue flames that also had shiny stars around, her and Frank's child, which seemed to connect to its father's soul right away.

"To think that such a thing would occur…" sighed Frank, as he opened his eyes and he was showered with many System Windows, he felt his stats increased a lot, alongside his Skills leveling up. Additionally, he felt like he gained a new type of power or skill, and even more, his Mana Core Rank has increased in strength.

Frank was showered with many System Windows alerting him of his new progress, but the one that startled him the most was the last one…

He gained four new System Functions, and they all seemed incredible!

As everyone around him slowly healed from the dizziness that all the power brought to them, Frank glanced at them, noticing that their souls were like large branches connecting to his own, and each branch held fruits as well… These fruits were them too, to an extent.

Frank wanted a lot of explanations, but first of all, he decided to check his Status Panel.

However, right before that, another System Window appeared.

Ding!

…

Frank was greeted with a large screen filled with new information, his stats had skyrocketed once more, although his defense was still the lowest, with all the equipment bonuses he had, he was good in pretty much everything, while still having a greater power with Magic-based Skills and Spells.

His Mana had grown even larger now, reaching 26k after everything happened with the tree.

For comparison, the strongest of his allies was Gwendolyn, whose biggest stat after the boost was her Mana at 13.500, which Frank had double of that, the rest of her stats were around 2500-3200, so he was comparably stronger, and that was without including the equipment bonuses.

However, the difference wasn't so immense either, so everyone was also capable of helping him in battle quite a lot, even more after their large boost in stats, which had made everyone's cultivation stage advance one stage.
