My Farm System: Reaching The Top In The Parallel Earth!

Great Serpent Blessed Land

Inside a certain blessed land, countless serpents can be seen

This Blessed Land has dark clouds causing the environment to be dim. This Blessed Land with its size was like a world of its own

Its land mass was definitely bigger than an entire city and various bizarre plants grew inside it

Those bizarre plants were treated as food by the endless serpents living in them. Every second, hissing sounds would enter a person's ears

In the middle of this Blessed Land was a circular lake with green-colored water. The inhabitant of this lake was also serpents, aquatic serpents to be exact

There was no lack of serpents at the 6th rank among them and in the middle of the lake was another large land mass

In this land, only a single building can be seen which was a tall, dark, and eerie Castle

This Castle gave off a terribly dangerous aura as if it was a living being that could destroy everything it wants to be destroyed

Inside this Castle was a Throne Room. It was a wide hall with some glowing orbs on the side

In the middle of the Throne Room was a long blood-red carpet and standing on the side of the carpet acting as guards was yet another group of serpents

These serpents were thick and plump. They look terrifying yet they didn't dare utter any loud sound

They just stayed in their position like the loyal guards that they are

At the end of the blood-red carpet was a blood-red throne. Only one person can sit on that Throne surrounded by a dark mist

This being even amongst all the beings on earth was unparalleled. Her might could definitely erase the 'secular countries' if she wishes to

This was none other than the Serpentine Empress! An existence that reaches the legendary 7th rank

Even if the human and magic beasts' sides are combined, the number of lifeforms that reached that rank was low

And among all the legendary 7th rank beings, although the Serpentine Empress is always shrouded with mystery and information about her was scarce, she is still feared

Below the blood-red Throne of the Empress was a kneeling mage clad in a black robe from head to toe

"Your Majesty, with the appearance of the treasure that could identify the Clay Doll Master's Clay Dolls, the plan was forced to be altered"

"Soon, our forces will make sure to bring down the Greenwood City!"

The mage reported in a polite and respectful tone as if he was afraid that speaking with the least bit of disrespect would result in a gruesome death

"The Clay Doll Master's magic is secretly given by me. That Claude Preston, how could he get a hold of such treasure?" The Serpentine Empress muttered in dissatisfaction

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be worried about the Dark Saint anymore. He is trapped inside a Blessed Land"

"The ownerless Blessed Land is either a graveyard or a treasure trove. Shadow Serpent, I believe that I have always put emphasis on caution and making sure that nothing would go wrong, right?"

A terrifying pressure instantly bore down on Shadow Serpent's body and it felt really horrible

The air itself turned heavy and the space hardened making it hard for Shadow Serpent to move

The mana in the air also bind on his body as if they would crush him any moment from now

This kind of suppression was way different than the suppression of other mages

At most, 6th fusion rank mages and below could pressure other mages using their aura and superior soul

However, the suppression that comes from the Serpentine Empress is a suppression aided by the world itself. The laws themselves were used!

Shadow Serpent might look like a lowly subordinate but he was actually also a legendary 7th rank mage

His subservient attitude would fool countless people but his might could also destroy those fools

However, despite the Serpentine Empress and Shadow Snake being at the same rank, the latter was far weaker

After all, even in the realm of these legendary mages, there was also a large disparity in strength

"M-My a-apologies, Your Majesty! I'll make sure to w-watch out! The m-moment that the Dark Saint luckily escaped the Blessed Land would be the moment of his death!" Shadow Serpent said fearfully and only then did the Serpentine Empress withdraw her suppression

"Never make a mistake or I'll have my serpents eat you to death"

"Y-yes, Your Majesty!"

"Make sure to bring down the Greenwood City but do not earn the attention of the peak powerhouse of both humanity and magic beasts! The Greenwood City's secret could never be leaked!"

"Rest assured, no one will discover Greenwood City's secret!"

"So now... I have 3 million mana stones. As for my income... for now, I wouldn't get orders from Florine anytime soon. As for Neil's shop, I decided to cap their monthly income to tens of thousands of mana stones. With that much, they'll have a lavish life but their income is not enough to make the big shots move against them"

"As for the military in the Greenwood City, I already saturated them with my Spirit Plants but there is still a large demand for soul-tearing peas... these perverts..."

"As for Daydream, my metal potatoes and other Spirit Plants are still in the middle of the research phase. And for now, I decided to start selling Spirit Plants only worth a million mana stones every month. I need to be lowkey"

Rezen's biggest support was Florine and Claude. Florine is no match for Daydream, that much is already established

As for Claude... as much as Rezen wants to help, a Blessed Land is not something he can find even if he used up all of his means

Rezen only got the Token of Gratitude thanks to Claude and he almost doesn't make contact with people from the Preston Family aside from Claude's subordinates

Without Claude, Rezen doesn't want to use the identity given by the token too much

"My income... it's too low. Although I can plant thousands of Spirit Plants every day, I really don't want to earn too much unwanted attention. This feels like having a treasure trove yet being unable to sell them"

If the handsome and domineering Claude was present then Rezen might take the risk. But without someone to protect him, he won't want to sell too many Spirit Plants and risk his life

However, for him to continue improving, Rezen required a large number of mana stones

Whether it be planting spirit plants for his personal consumption, upgrading his farm, or obtaining mysterious bananas and peaches, all of them rely on money

This is really giving him a headache. After all, even if he somehow make contact with these big shots, the means of a mage were numerous

They can capture him or read his memories and that would spell trouble

"Ahh! Whatever! I'll just risk it! I'll secretly conduct business with other cities!"

At normal times, Rezen might bide his time to increase his power but not now. Not to mention the danger from Twighlight Beast, even Claude is missing and Rezen wants to help him. But the only way to help was to gain even more power and abilities

Rezen felt like his head would explode from the stress and to cool some steam off, he went out of his Mushroom Home

Aside from the mini-forest, most of his farm was just empty space when he didn't plant anything on them

Rezen went to the nearest cherry blossom tree as he crouched down

With a flick of Rezen's wrist, a seed appeared at the top of his palm

After learning about the terrorism of the Twighlight Beast inside the City, Rezen formulated a plan to increase his farm's defense

There were his crows but they wouldn't be enough. If there were several experts at the 4th fusion rank, it wouldn't even take several minutes before all of them were killed

Rezen has to upgrade his farm's defense!

He dug a hole near the cherry blossom tree and planted the seed

That seed was a seed from Evil Groundshroom a type of Spirit Plant but it almost has no value for mages

The Evil Groundshrooms were underground mushrooms that would ferociously attack other living organisms living underground

These shrooms are Spirit Plants but they are far from popular. They are similar to vismian grass that upon consumption would replenish the mana of the mage but while the vismian grass contains pure mana, the Evil Groundshroom contains contaminated mana

These shrooms would attack other lifeforms for their own consumption, for survival, and for increasing their strength

As such, even poor mages wouldn't use these mushrooms for cultivation. If their mana was contaminated then they would suffer terribly!

To other mages, these mushrooms are useless but not for Rezen. The Evil Groundshrooms would be his underground defensive mechanism while the Nightmare Crows could be an aerial unite
