As time slowly passed, nearly two natural hours went by, and the spirit tree stopped growing.
At this moment, the tree was fully laden with shimmering green spirit tree fruits. Zod's Divine Sense swept over them, and he obtained the exact number: precisely three thousand, not one more, not one less.
However, the entire Oa now resembled a withered old man, almost completely devoid of its original vitality.
Even an ordinary person could feel that sense of dead silence. From now on, this planet, unless it encountered some special fortune, would basically have no possibility of giving birth to life again.
Zod couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
"It really is overbearing. It truly lives up to its reputation as the exclusive food of gods. I just wonder if this spirit tree fruit still has an effect on me now!"
Sinestro looked at the scene before him, his heart filled with immense shock.
In his opinion, destroying a planet through violent means was very easy; even any member of the Green Lantern Corps could do it.
But a method like this, where a planet completely lost its life energy with just a single seed, was somewhat terrifying.
"What kind of seed is that? What is this giant tree? Why do I feel that the aura emanating from the fruits on the tree is so similar to Willpower energy?"
"Could the strength of New Krypton also be related to this mysterious fruit?"
Sinestro's heart was filled with endless conjectures.
However, the next moment, he heard Hope ask Zod, "Father, what kind of tree is this?"
Fiora, along with all the Kryptonian Warriors, also looked at Zod with curious eyes.
"As General Zod's son, he must hold a significant position on New Krypton, yet even he doesn't know the origin of this mysterious tree seed?"
Sinestro only felt that Zod was enveloped in an impenetrable mist.
At this moment, Zod spoke, "This tree is called the spirit tree. It grows by feeding on a planet's life energy, and the fruits it bears can enhance the power of those who consume them."
As he spoke, the entire spirit tree began to tremble violently, and the fruits on the tree also fell off with the intense shaking.
Zod simply raised his hand, and all the spirit tree fruits were collected by him. At this point, the giant spirit tree began to wither.
At this moment, Zod did not avoid anyone; he directly picked up a spirit tree fruit and ate it.
Everyone's attention was now focused on Zod, afraid of missing even the slightest change.
The instant the fruit entered his stomach, a massive energy began to surge within Zod's body, then was rapidly absorbed by every cell in his body.
At the same time, the golden Divine Sense figure nestled in his Divine Thought also absorbed this energy, and he felt that his Divine Sense power had actually increased slightly.
"The spirit tree fruit can not only strengthen my cell activity but also enhance my Divine Sense power."
This discovery greatly excited Zod.
His Kryptonian genes, after being strengthened by the blood origin crystal, had already elevated him to a level beyond ordinary Super Kryptonians.
Later, he even underwent the Fusion of Sunlight's god-making genes. It could be said that, in terms of Rank, he was definitely at the pinnacle of the Universe!
But now, he hadn't expected this small fruit to still be able to provide him with an enhancement.
However, what made Zod a bit frustrated was that there were no seeds left in the spirit tree fruit he had eaten.
He couldn't help but speculate in his heart, "Could that spirit tree seed be a one-time use item?"
Seeing Zod's face first show surprise, then frustration, Fiora asked with some concern, "General, how do you feel? Did that fruit have no effect?"
Hearing this, Zod was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, on the contrary, the effect is very good. This fruit is very helpful to me, and it might provide an even greater boost for you all."
"Then why are you somewhat unhappy, General?"
Just as Zod was about to say that this item might be a one-time product, he saw that the spirit tree had completely withered and finally dissipated into specks of green light.
At its roots, however, a small green light cluster emerged.
Zod raised his hand, and the small light cluster flew into his palm. When the light faded, lying in Zod's hand were three identical spirit tree seeds.
Seeing this, Zod's face also lit up with joy again.
Knowing that this item was not a one-time use, it could then serve as a regular strategic resource for New Krypton!
So, Zod raised his hand, and spirit tree fruits fell into the hands of all the Kryptonian Warriors. Even Hope received one, although it was unknown if it would be useful to him.
As for Sinestro, he was not yet qualified to enjoy it, but that did not prevent him from showing an envious expression.
In his opinion, Zod's strength was already incredibly powerful, and that fruit could still enhance him, so it would definitely have an even greater effect on them.
Fiora quickly said, "General, these fruits can enhance your strength; you should consume them yourself!"
Hope also spoke, "Father, I am not made of flesh and blood; this fruit might not have any effect on me. You should take it back!"
"Don't worry, with these three seeds, we can harvest more fruits. As for whether it's useful or not, you'll only know after you eat it."
Hearing this, Fiora and Hope finally felt at ease, brought the fruits to their mouths, and swallowed them whole in a few bites.
The other Kryptonian Warriors followed suit, also gulping down the spirit tree fruits.
In an instant, powerful auras began to emerge from their bodies.
Zod's Divine Sense enveloped everyone, ensuring that no one would encounter any accidents.
A moment later, Fiora said with a hint of surprise, "General, it seems I have a peculiar energy within me; it feels very powerful."
Hearing this, Zod's mind stirred, and he said to her, "Try to guide and release that energy."
"Yes, General!"
Fiora, having received the command, closed her eyes slightly. Then, she suddenly raised her hand, and a white energy condensed in her hand, which she then fired towards the Oa below.
"Boom!"
Fiora's casual strike directly shattered most of the now dead Oa.
This scene immediately stunned everyone, even Fiora herself looked at her left hand, which had released the energy, with some disbelief.
At this moment, the other Kryptonians also began to speak in surprise, because they had all obtained that energy as well.
Zod understood immediately upon seeing this: "It really is Qi!"
However, he then became somewhat puzzled: "Why didn't Qi manifest in my body? Is it because I Cultivated the Sun True Scripture?"
