Speed Villian: Fugitive from the stars

Chapter 56: Plant Companions


Kael strolled deeper into the forest, his footsteps almost silent on the mossy ground. The Qi here was so dense it felt like walking through liquid gold. Every breath tasted rich, vibrant — alive. The trees towered so massively that a small family could build a home inside a single trunk.

"These aren't ordinary trees," Kael muttered, brushing a bark that pulsed faintly. "They've developed into wood spirits… but how do I talk to them?"

[Offer them some Compound-X. It enriches the ground's nutrients.] Augustus suggested lazily.

Kael shrugged and sprinkled a small vial of Compound-X on the roots of the nearest ancient tree.

Immediately, a voice echoed in his mind — deep, amused, ancient.

"Little boy, you truly brought something interesting. But we don't need it. The land beneath us is the Divine Grain."

Kael froze.

"Divine grain…?" He exhaled. "Old tree, can I please take a little? I have a sub-world that needs it."

Another hum vibrated through his thoughts.

"Hmm… and what will you offer us in return?"

Before Kael could answer, a soft, seductive voice drifted into him like a warm breeze.

"Why help the child?"

Two trees twisted, their bark unraveling like cloth as they transformed — one into a handsome young man, the other into a breathtaking woman whose smile alone could charm a mountain spirit.

A third, older voice joined in, amused.

"He carries Speedforce… and Voidstream. Yet he is neither speedling nor void being. His voidstream is an impure bloodline. Hahaha… let's help him."

The woman stepped forward, lips curving.

"We'll give you some—"

"Wait," Kael interrupted. "Can I also get some plants for alchemy?"

The man raised a brow.

"Is that not the same as asking us to hand you our friends for slaughter?"

Before Kael could respond, a tiny spirit sprinted toward them — a chubby wooden kid with glowing green eyes.

"Mama! Papa! I want to go with him! All of us! My friends and I can give him plants without dying. Just plucking! I want to leave this boring place!"

The woman sighed.

The man facepalmed.

Kael blinked.

And the forest trembled with possibilities.

---

Far away, chaos stirred.

A white-clad figure danced between shattered trees as frost refused to spread beyond her feet — as if the forest itself feared her. Her aura was so cold that even the wind avoided touching her.

Three cultivators circled her like hunters.

The tallest snarled, "You dare come here and take whatever you want?"

"I don't have time to wait 100,000 years for that spirit to develop sentience," Bai You You replied, voice flat and icy. "I need it now."

Though the world called her Ice Cold Princess, her true power was nothing as soft as frost.

Her fists ignited — blue flames, impossibly cold, licking along her arms like hungry spirits.

The three attackers hesitated.

They should have run.

Bai You You stepped forward — and the world cracked.

A single punch erupted, blue fire exploding into a spiraling shockwave. The three cultivators flew backward, smashing through tree trunks thicker than fortress walls.

One rose, coughing blood.

"What kind of ice burns like this…?!"

"It is not ice," Bai You You said. "It is Frozen Hellfire."

She appeared in front of him in an instant. Her foot tapped the earth —

— and a ring of blue fire erupted upward, trapping all three inside a blazing cage that froze and burned simultaneously.

The second cultivator screamed, half of his arm turning to crystal, the other half dissolving into cold ash.

The third tried to escape, activating his domain—

but the moment his energy touched her flame, it shattered like glass.

"You shouldn't have interfered," she said calmly.

She flicked her wrist.

A column of blue hellfire roared downward—

BOOOOOM!!

The entire forest shook, yet not a single tree outside the battle zone burned. The fire obeyed her perfectly.

As the smoke cleared, the three cultivators lay defeated, trembling, barely alive.

Bai You You stepped over them, dusting off her sleeves.

"I will take what I came for."

She walked forward — towards a glowing cocoon deep in the forest, pulsing with life and power — unaware that Kael, not too far away, had sensed her flame.

And their paths were about to collide.

Divine grain, is known to fasten the growth and maturation of plants. So instead a plant should use maybe 10,000 years to mature and produce fruit, it can be reduced my more than 90% of the time giving the concentration of the divine grain.

And the divine grain of this primordial chaos world is very very concentrated. He was given the grain worth 20000 tonnes enough to turn the whole present Earth to be 10 times fertile.

4 little kids also followed him. They all signed a soul contract with Kael. So he will be able to bring them out. The kids were four plants that were 23 years old. Normally, they should be like 233,000 years old but the divine grain land had boosted their growth.

The plants were male and female. Two male, two females. They were four rare plants. A guy and a girl were both heaven nature plants. The pollination between both of them will produce the super famous nature or universe fruit. This kind of fruit even cause gods to kill each other. The other guy and girl are divine blood apple and five elemental fruit. Each of them will cause a great sensation even among the gods and Kael just got them like that. He even got a map to reach the centre of this origin zone. In the map, a place was marked for him in sector 1. An old fire being who was successfully able to breakthrough to Ascendant realm. To cultivate to Ascendant realm, you must be able to cultivate your soul into divine soul. Cultivating divine soul allows the use of spiritual energy. The reason why energy beings are not able to cultivate to Ascendant realm was because they were not able to cultivate their souls. Even those plants were surprised because Kael could cultivate his souls, but they were not surprised after they found he was over 700 years old. To be able to form 4 soul contracts, his divine soul must be very strong.

Here are the stages to divine soul: Mortal Soul,

Spirit Soul

Astral Soul

Divine Soul

Celestial Soul

Cosmic Soul

Primordial Soul

Kael's soul was currently at the spirit soul rank. That's why he was able to form those contracts. And his soul even grew stronger because he formed contract with powerful kids.

Skipping all things, he head to sector 1.
