Supreme Lord: I can extract everything!

"Are your muscles made out of rubber?!?" A worker shouted at the group of Berserkers, who carried huge wooden trunks through the Untamed Jungle.

The densely grown trees and bushes were removed to provide the largest trees with enough space to keep growing. They didn't have to share the nutritious soil with other trees and wouldn't have a problem growing twice or thrice as big as before. The construction workers and the Architects worked together to use the growing trees as the foundation of the tower treehouse complexes and expanded their attempts to create a perfect synergy between the Untamed Jungle and the settlement.

Michael and his people were camouflaged from enemies and gained resources from the Untamed Jungle. In return, they nourished the Untamed Jungle by removing the aggressive trees and bushes that were stealing the nutrition of the older trees. At the same time, the Untamed Jungle received various nutrients from the Greater Nature Spirit and the fertilizer brought by Michael. Whether the fertilizer was Awakened, or Native corpses or proper fertilizer didn't matter.

"If you think we're slacking off, how about you move your fat ass over here and carry the logs on your own?" A Starless Berserker responded to the fat construction worker, who had been assigned as their guide and superior.

The construction worker was about to respond in anger, but the heavy logs smashed heavily into the ground next to the construction site. The ground stirred and so did the construction worker's heart as he imagined what would happen if one of the Berserkers was tired of his orders. They would pick him up and tear him apart.

He shuddered and shut his mouth. It was not like the Berserkers and Warlock Centaurs were slow workers. If anything, the construction of new tower treehouse complexes was much faster than ever. The only problem was that the residences had to be adjusted.

To be precise, everything had to be adjusted now that their Lord summoned Berserkers and Warlock Centaurs regularly. Both Berserkers and Warlock Centaurs were usually taller than three meters. The larger kind of their race reached almost five meters. The ordinary treehouse complexes were not large enough for them to live peacefully.

The Berserkers and Warlock Centaurs didn't like treehouse complexes either. That was part of the reason why Michael had to adjust the expansion of his territory and create large, several-story-tall buildings in between several towering trees.

Michel was still unwilling to raze entire areas of the Untamed Jungle for the construction of large buildings such as large-scale apartment complexes to fit thousands of Summons at once, but he made some adjustments to give the Berserker and Warlock Centaur Summons what they needed.

"Just continue work…" The fat construction worker mumbled, breaking into a sweat as he felt the gaze of several Berserkers on him.

"We're only doing this until the residencies have been completed. Afterward, we will join the others on the training ground," A Berserker grumbled, only for a Warlock Centaur to nod vigorously.

"I never expected that I would be resurrected as a Starless Summon. I was certain that my achievements and strength would have been enough to be resurrected as a 2-Star Summons, maybe even as a 3-Star Summon." Another Berserker grumbled as he hurled a large log onto the others.

Everyone ignored the tremoring ground and the commotion that resounded through the vicinity as the logs fell onto other logs.

"Maybe, this is a trial as well," One of the quieter Warlock Centaurs' mumbled, "Maybe, our ancestors want to see whether we're capable enough to rise back to strength, or if we end up slacking off and accepting our fate. The Lord creates countless opportunities for everyone to grow stronger and receive promotions. He focuses on opportunities, which is uncommon for Lords."

"That's true. He wants his Summons to grow stronger and give us enough opportunities to grasp them. We are free to grasp the opportunities or leave them behind and accept our current lives."

"We were quite lucky with our Lord!"

The Berserkers and Warlock Centaurs nodded and smiled at each other.

"Let's finish our residencies in the next few days. We'll start training right after and become 1-Star Summons within a week!!"

The Warlock Centaurs and Berserkers roared and went back to work. However, instead of moving slowly, they ended up exhausting themselves until they couldn't move anymore. There was no time to waste. It was necessary to move fast and grow stronger. After all, a golden opportunity waited impatiently for them.   

After all, the Regional War in the Savannah region was not yet over!

Some subjects were scared when the first Berserker and Warlock Centaur Summons appeared in the territory. They were twice as tall as the other Summons, their bodies were riddled with scars from the fearsome wars they'd fought before dying and their burly physiques and angry resting faces didn't help the subjects to think of the Berserker and Warlock Centaur Summons as less scary.

Fortunately, the Berserker and Warlock Centaurs were overly friendly and forthcoming with their allies. Even the physiques of Starless Berserkers and Warlock Centaurs were extraordinary, allowing them to use their raw strength to carry things.

However, Starless Berserkers and Warlock Centaurs were not only extraordinary laborers. Berserkers possessed extraordinary talent in all works related to forges. Their thick skin was slightly heat resistant, allowing them to work in forges much longer than ordinary beings. Their physical strength and exceptional control of their power made it much easier to forge as well.

Warlock Centaurs were similar, but they were more attuned to nature than the underground and forging. Most Warlock Centaurs learned enough about medicine and herbs to appraise various herbs in the Untamed Jungle. They weren't botanists or herb collectors, but their herb-picking talents were extraordinary.

They were talented at finding all kinds of herbs, rare bushes with ripened fruits, and hiding spots of seedlings that lacked nutrition due to the aggressive plants surrounding them.

After the Berserkers and Warlock Centaurs joined Michael's territory, many things changed. The production of weapons and other armaments in the Underground Forging Hall progressed rapidly, and the Alchemists' herb gardens expanded rapidly.

Michael considered using Insert on some of the herbs and special potions, elemental crystals, and other things to see whether he could stimulate mutations or create entirely new plants by merging other plants. Cross-pollination of energy-

rich plants was something his Botanists worked with, and they were certain that Michael's Soultrait could skip countless steps to create offspring with desirable traits.

Unfortunately, Michael was a little bit too busy with other things to pay more attention to the expanding herb gardens. He felt that the herb gardens should continue expanding until the issues with the Council of Xylon were solved. That shouldn't take too long. Probably.

The ever-expanding herb garden was useful in one way or another. The Warlock Centaurs cleared the remaining parts of the Untamed Jungle's outer rings and large parts of the middle area from the infestation of contaminated weeds and pests while simultaneously harvesting the vast majority of valuable herbs to expand in the herb gardens.

The Alchemists were very grateful for the Warlock Centaur's meticulous work. They harvested the herbs without damaging their roots and managed to plant them without causing any harm. However, what made the Alchemists the happiest was when Tiara arrived with two dozen potion recipes and a small mountain of perfectly harvested plants.

The plants couldn't be found in the Untamed Jungle and its surroundings, and the same could be said about the rare potion recipes. But that was not all.

Tiara retrieved a bunch of books and placed them into the Alchemists' small library. The books ought to help the Master Alchemists to improve and eventually attain enlightenment. The probability that they improved their star rating to 4-Star was low, but it was not zero. In fact, with Master Tigris' Light of Enlightenment and Legion's Master of Awakening, their probability improved quite a bit. It was still closer to zero than 1%, but the chance was tens of times higher than it used to be.

Similar situations where Santa Tiara emerged with presents for everyone occurred all over the territory. Tiara had presents for the Greater Eagles as well, specific Typhoon Crystals that could be absorbed to grant the Greater Eagles a minor Wind Affinity if their innate potential was high enough, and various delicacies for the Bilrox had been prepared.

Zeroa and Stinger, however, acquired the most delicacies. Michael bought various treasures for the Elemental Empress and Stinger to consume since their tireless efforts throughout the last few months had been one of the major reasons Michael managed to expand stronger and protect his territory.

However, one of the most expensive items that Michael had ordered not too long ago was for Tatjana.

It was a Bloodline Upgrade Token.

It was time for the Grandmaster Beastmaster's offspring to awaken the Eye of Evolution!
