Chapter 1078 - Time To Open Up
🕑 Added 2025-02-19 12:26:50 +0000 UTCAll good things must come to an end.
Jake had enjoyed the time he’d spent with his family. While it hadn’t led to much progress, he had managed to get some work done here and there, primarily by playing with his Puzzle Box of the Seeker or meditating and studying the Record Fragment left by the First Sage.
Besides that, Caleb had convinced Jake to help train a few assassins, but that was about it. Jake’s visit ended up taking longer than he’d initially expected. He also had to meet with Miranda a few times to discuss the future, but other than that, things had been super chill.
He felt refreshed and ready to face what came next... and it happened on just another regular evening as Jake was eating with his parents. Suddenly, they all stopped, even Adam, as each and every one of them received a system message. They all knew what it was.
Most people in the galaxy, if not the entire universe, had been waiting for it... for them to finally know what would come next. Jake didn’t wait as he checked it out.
As the final Prima Guardian has met its end or accomplished its goal, the 93rd Universe weathered the test to see which planets are capable of survival while deciding who is qualified to lay claim to the Seat of the Exalted Prima.
World Leaders of each galaxy have been promoted to Seat of the Exalted Prima Administrators, allowing them to vie for control over their galaxy’s Seat. Planets have been claimed or lost, and relations have been formed within each galaxy. The Exalted Prima watches on with interest to see who shall one day arrive with a rightful claim.
Based on the performance of each galaxy, different rewards have been distributed dependent on contributions during the event. All natives of every galaxy have received additional bonuses dependent on the final ranking of the galaxy during this event.
With the event concluded, restrictions upon the 93rd Universe have been lifted. All limits on outside communication and transportation outside of each galaxy are now fully removed.
In addition, all Prima Vessels have lost most functionality, and all intergalactic teleportation must happen under regular circumstances without assistance from the Prima Vessel. Despite being inert, these Prima Vessels can still be transported by World Leaders and upon reaching the minimum requirements, used by Administrators to travel directly to the Seat of the Exalted Prima within each galaxy.
Finally, with the 93rd Universe having found its footing, it shall soon begin to welcome those from the outside. Restrictions on multiversal travel have been lessened, allowing anyone below high-tier C-grade (level 300 and below) to travel to the 93rd Universe, starting 100 days from now. This level-restriction will rise by 1 level every 100 days until reaching peak C-grade (level 349). Be aware that has any being traveled to the 93rd Universe once, they can always return despite the level restriction.
Good luck, natives of the 93rd Universe.
It was a long system message with a lot to unpack. Starting from the top, it was just repeating a lot of what the system message they got upon finishing the event for the Milky Way Galaxy had said. The only new tidbit was about the Exalted Prima watching on, which Jake wasn’t sure how to interpret. What it did make clear, though, was that they were indeed competing to lay rightful claim to a World Wonder, meaning the system wasn’t done spurring on conflict.
After that was just the talk about rewards. Compared to prior system events, this one didn’t have any fancy titles or anything like that. Jake and everyone else had also already gotten their rewards in the form of loot from the Prima Guardian, with Jake reaping the best of it with his mythical Administrator’s Seal of the Exalted Prima. As well as the fact he was now an Administrator of the Seat, of course, with him even being the top-ranked one following the death of Ell’Hakan.
There was also the boost to Records for the entire galaxy, but that one was a lot harder to quantify. All Jake knew was that Miranda and many others who tracked that kind of thing had statistics showing that the average leveling speed had risen following the event’s end, with many who’d previously experienced a wall also suddenly able to overcome it.
He didn’t really have many thoughts about the Prima Vessels. Only that he should probably go and relocate the Prima Vessel somewhere safer than in the middle of a desert, as he would need it to teleport to the Seat of the Exalted Prima once he became B-grade.
Finally, perhaps the biggest one, and also something Jake had expected to see, was the opening up of the 93rd Universe. Being able to freely communicate and travel back to other universes was great, but the biggest part was that now others could also come to their universe.
This was definitely one of the hottest topics of speculation in political circles recently and one of Miranda’s most prominent points of worry. Based on historical data, they knew that the universe wouldn’t just fully open up from one day to the other, but many had suspected that at least anyone below B-grade would now be allowed to freely travel back and forth.
That in itself was a massive pain to deal with. Sure, Jake and everyone else he hung out with were powerful, but what would they do if someone like the Holy Church sent a billion peak C-grades? Well, their only response would be to have the Order of the Malefic Viper also send a whole bunch of peak C-grades, which would make Valhal, the Court of Shadows, Risen, Endless Empire, and who knows else also send in entire armies, instantly flooding the galaxy.
However, Jake was relieved to see that there was still a level restriction and a decently low one, too. To be clear, level 300 was still pretty damn strong, but it at least allowed them to avoid those at the peak of C-grade... for a while anyway. Every one hundred days, it would increase by one level, which meant that with rough math, it would take around thirteen and a half years till peak C-grades could enter their universe. At that point, things would definitely be a lot more stable than now.
Having a hundred days of leeway till people could travel to their universe was also great, as it allowed them to ensure the Holy Church was gone for good by that time. Jake also didn’t doubt Miranda had a lot of plans for how to ensure they weren’t overrun. He knew she had already worked on deals with several factions, but she was far from done.
As a final note on that topic – and the main reason Miranda hadn’t quite panicked at the prospect of the universe opening up - it wasn’t as if teleporting to their universe was easy in any way currently. Jake just made it look easy as a Chosen, and while most factions had methods to bring people back and forth, it wasn’t cheap and only worth doing for actual elites. With time and higher-level experts on both sides of the teleportation circle, things would get easier, but for now, the ones outside of the 93rd Universe had to facilitate ninety-nine percent of it. Breaching the void wasn’t easy, after all.
Having gone through the message properly, it appeared the others had done the same.
“I guess we all know what this means,” Jake’s dad said after a little while.
“Yeah... I’ll have to head off now,” Caleb answered with a nod as he quickly stood up, gave Maja a kiss, Adam a quick hug, and teleported away with a wave goodbye to the rest of them.
Jake probably also had to get going, but he was temporarily delayed as he felt something else. For the last few years, Jake had been free, but now, his stalker was back in full force as Jake felt himself being observed.
“How about you, Jake?” his mom asked, looking surprised that he hadn’t left yet. “Aren’t you needed elsewhere?”
“I’m leaving in a second,” Jake said with a sigh. “I was just momentarily distracted by someone.”
“Well, I apologize, I didn’t mean to disturb your family dinner. In fact, I’m also eating right now, having quite a nurturing meal,” the Malefic Viper answered.
“Up for talking a bit later, alright?” Jake quickly answered.
“Fair enough. But just so you know, I don’t need an update about what the system notification said; I already heard it,” the Viper quickly clarified, getting a mental confirmation from Jake.
“Who distracted you?” Maja asked, confused.
“Just a needy god,” Jake shrugged, getting a few weird stares. “But I do have to leave now. You already have my number if I’m on the planet, but if I’m in another universe, just contact Miranda or Caleb.”
“Just take care of yourself,” his dad said with a nod.
“I will,” Jake said as he turned to Adam. “You also be good, right?”
Adam nodded before asking a question no one else would. “When are you coming to visit again?”
Jake just gave the kid a small smile. “Who knows? Just know that when I’m not here, it’s because I’m fighting dragons or evil mushroom people.”
“Are there good mushroom people?” Adam asked, confused.
“You have a bright future ahead of you,” Jake gave the kid a wide smile as he ruffled his hair. With a final goodbye to the others, Jake left the house through the front door, briefly stopped by his own little residence to pick up a few things he’d left there before promptly shooting off to the teleportation center to quickly return to Haven.
On the way, he reached out to Villy once more. “Thoughts on the universe opening up soon?”
“We all knew it would happen, didn’t we?” the snake god answered promptly. “One can only hope that the foundation you’ve established is powerful enough to survive what’s to come. And I’m not talking about a foundation purely based on power, but one of stability. Your little budding empire won’t rise or fall due to a lack of soldiers but inadequate administration. The only way I could see your rule fall apart due to a lack of power was if you died, but telling you not to die really isn’t advice I hope I’d need to give.”
“So what you’re saying is I need to actually engage with ruling the galaxy?” Jake asked, a sense of dread washing over him.
“What? No, I never said that. I just said that you need to ensure the people you delegated the job to do a good job, and from what I’ve gathered, that witch of yours is doing fine so far. Unsurprisingly, I might add, as she is under the tutorage of people I also trust to handle administrative tasks within my Order. It wasn’t a coincidence I approached the Witches of the Verdant Lagoon as one of the first things after I left my realm,” Villy explained, continuing:
“However, I will say that at least knowing about what’s going on is a good idea. You also need to set a direction, both for her sake and your own. For you, because if you can’t even tell your faction what to do, what the hell’s the point of it? And for her sake, so she can use you as a shield. As the one enacting policies, she will get a lot of flack if she also made them, but if all she’s doing is carrying out your will, she can use that as a defense whenever she does anything unpopular. People are way less likely to dare bring up complaints to you.”
Jake listened but wasn’t quite sure if the Viper’s advice was even applicable. “Earth is ruled by a council, though. The plan is to do the same with the entire galaxy. They are the ones who decide stuff, not me.”
“They decide the small stuff. You’re still the one who sets a direction. Why do you think slavery has been outlawed in the entire galaxy? That the laws governing every civilization are slowly morphing to become more similar to Earth’s before the integration? Even if you don’t tell those beneath you what direction to move in, they’ll still try to do things they believe you’d want them to,” the Viper continued explaining.
“I can’t really argue against that... but the entire point of this council is that I’m not some dictator telling everyone what to do,” Jake sighed mentally.
“And yet you shall dictate the direction of your galaxy,” Villy said in a matter-of-fact voice. “But, hey, your mere desire to not be a dictator will bleed through and more likely than not make your rule far less authoritarian than others. Just remember to keep the people important to your little faction loyal, that’s the most important part. You aren’t living in a democracy, and while having the support of the general populace is all well and good, it’s just a tiny bonus at most.”
“I’m beginning to reconsider if taking advice for running a functional society from an evil snake god with an Order that isn’t exactly known for being a nice place is wise,” Jake said after a moment.
“Hey! People love the Order! If they’re worth anything, that is,” Villy said, making Jake even more sure he should stop listening, even if some of the things the god said made sense.
“Anyhow, what have you been up to recently?” Jake chose to change the subject.
“Until very recently, I was busy digesting a certain someone. Still not entirely done, and I won’t be for a while, but it’s getting there. With my proper return to the multiverse, I also decided to finally explore some of the places I hadn’t had a chance to visit during my isolation. Not that long ago, I entered a World Wonder called the Mycotic Depths, and from the name alone, I’m sure you would love the place,” the snake god answered.
“A World Wonder?” Jake asked, trying to ignore the name. “How does that one work? And are you talking to me from inside of it right now?”
“The Mycotic Depths is a lot like Yalsten, where the Treasure Hunt event took place. It’s a separate world from the regular universes and it wasn’t even known it was a World Wonder before well into the 13th era. However, once people began to explore its insides, its status of World Wonder became clear,” Villy explained.
“Wait, I’m a bit confused... Yalsten wasn’t at all considered a World Wonder, right? If so, why does this mushroom cave get called one while Yalsten didn’t if they’re both just separate spaces?” Jake wondered.
“In many ways, World Wonders are just extremely useful objects or locations found within the different universes, but what truly makes them World Wonders is the system’s direct involvement. The Mycotic Depths has different caves one can use to enter, bringing you to different areas within, and while it’s all one space inside, they’re still separated. Do you remember that barrier in your Tutorial that cut off the inner section with more powerful monsters? This is a bit like that. Natural barriers result in certain sections being restricted to those below certain power levels. No matter how much I wanted to, I would never be able to enter the section for S-grades, much less C-grades like you. All regulated by the system.”
“I see... but it seems like the world isn’t entirely cut off, seeing as you can talk to me,” Jake said.
“Communication to the outside world is somewhat restricted inside, but the version of me you’re talking to isn’t one inside right now. You’re talking to my real body that’s in my realm, busy digesting Yip of Yore. The one in the World Wonder is one of my special avatars,” Villy shared. “If that avatar does find something in there it’s too weak to handle, I may go with my true body, but otherwise, it would just be a waste and a needless risk.”
“Do you never go anywhere with your true body?” Jake wondered.
“Few gods do, especially not those at my level. It isn’t due to cowardice, though. I’m working on things I need the power of my true body to handle. Meanwhile, exploring a World Wonder with an avatar is as efficient as if I’d gone with my real body as it’s more than powerful enough,” the Viper said in a casual tone.
“I see,” Jake just answered. By now, he’d already gone through the teleportation circle and was back in Haven.
“You interested in also paying a visit to the wonderful Mycotic Depths? Mushrooms as far as the eye can see, and there’s even an entire civilization of Deepdwellers there! Remember those from that little dungeon under your house?” the snake god attempted to whisper poison into his ear.
“Man, I would love to, but I’m just heading into a very important meeting. You know, to stay on top of political stuff, something you said is a good idea,” Jake quickly excused himself.
“Fine, fine, I guess you wouldn’t have the time to afterward either. Not with your other upcoming trip and all,” Villy said, definitely baiting Jake to ask him to elaborate.
“What upcoming trip?” Jake just had to ask despite knowing it was bait.
“Oh? I’m pretty sure I heard you planned on going on a trip in an attempt to connect with your inner dendrophile.”
... yeah, Jake didn’t even know what that word meant.

I confess that I'm a little bit confused with the dendrophile reference, the only thing that comes to mind immediately is wondering if he's supposed to be going to visit Artemis soon, or maybe Vilas is trying to hint that Dina somehow caught feelings for Jake during their separation time post Nevermore.

Gosh dang it I missed Villy.
vio
Isn't he talking about artemis?
Nael
Hey Zogarth ! Did Villy not meant mycophile (Someone passionated about mushrooms) instead of dendrophile (someone passionated about or sexually attracted to forest and trees) ? EDIT : Probably not according to next chapter, didn't catch the hint
Nael
If I understand correctly, only the Minaga that fully the criteria to enter can go back and forth
Joseph L. King
Be aware that has any being traveled to the 93rd Universe once, they can always return despite the level restriction. Am I the only one who thinks this means Minaga who is already in the 93rd universe will be able to travel there in one of his bodies now. Not sure the direction Zogarth is heading but that seems like it could provide an interesting story line.
TheDwiin
LMC if you had the Google what a dendrophile was
Chloe
Tyftc Artemis!!!
Corvid
Real question is should the ship be called Artimake or Jakemis.
Indevan Jones
That is if he even can, with regards to his varient race, and there was another reason(?) I think records/bloodline maybe hindering that. I believe it was stated that the higher the base grade/power of the parents the harder it was to have em but with him being a varient its not even sure if he'd still have the base max D grade human child standard. Let alone if the child got a type of his bloodline even surviving having it.
PrimalFan
Yeah lol at the time I responded to the comment I could not for the life of me remember his name Nature’s Attendant
Phil Ritter
I was really confused who Dina’s Girlfriend is until I noticed you used it for Grandfather. Well played
Phil Ritter
I think it’s still very far off for him to get clones since afaik that’s more or less exclusively a god thing unless you have some special skill or legacy for it. We also can’t forget how damn expensive it is to create anything of even somewhat decent power. Duskleaf made a clone that took billions of years to grow and it was only 10% of his power. Villy and other top gods may use them casually but they are the 0.001 of the multiverse and obscenely rich. This imo is also the reason why nobody just goes around overpowering others with clones. To the really strong clones won’t matter and if you have the ability to pump out clones strong enough to battle you probably have the resources to win the fight way cheaper. At that point just hire the court.

Plus, I would say there are a number of bibliophiles on this site! I don't know about others, but I'm not doing anything besides reading (and collecting).

Ooh. Villy has a planned trip for trees for Jake?
Seen Death
Even his intuition wouldnt let him get it wrong like that haha
Seen Death
About to read this chapter, so not knowing whats going on yet this is probably better for yesterdays, but i wonder how the story will progress once jake advances enough to be multiple places at the same time haha. On one hand it could solve the "not relaxing / visiting family enough" but his parents might not be around by the time he can actually do that. Also interested on learning more about certain limitations on doing so. Obviously both (or more) should reduce each by something similar to division? (Like if there was 2 jakes: one at 3/4 power, and the 2nd jake at 1/4 power?) Or why you dont really hear of people fighting many apex opponents really using more copies of themselves to fight foes (maybe they do use it more when they greatly overpower their opponents even though they have greater numbers? Or by that point its not even necessary because some gods can just obliterate entire worlds+ with a single attack etc) or maybe some system imposed debuff- although id imagine there are also plenty of classes that do use copies of themselves extensively aswell... its all cool stuff to think about

Honestly he should wait til godhood for the best records

Somewhere, there is a perplexed ai wondering why searches for “dendrophile” spiked today. lol! TFTC!
Cizril
It isn't necessarily that deep. They may just love the trees in a platonic or non sexual way
Admiral Dakbar
In Nevermore Jake said he would go visit her after the universe opens up. He will go to improve his archery and some other training
James Faulkner
Is he getting shipped off to Artemis for extracurricular activities? 😂
Xander
the "phile" suffix doesnt necessarily denote sexual attraction just a fondness or enjoyment of a certain type of thing. Scutephiles collect badges for example they dont have sex with them.
DBOMB YO
Tree lady time xD
PrimalFan
After nevermore he had promised Artemis to visit when the universe opened up. She’s part of the life pantheon who is under Dina’s GF (who represents Yggdrasil). It might be a bit of an assumption but one I’m hoping for.
Hunter
Why are people saying this? What did I miss lol
Hunter
People keep saying this but did I miss this reference. I thought the plans Villy was talking about at the end was entering the world wonder. And dendrophile means someone attracted to plants so I was guessing the mushroom world wonder.
Hunter
No baby making until A grade. I think we have plenty of things to accomplish before we get a Jake/Artemis chapter again.
Lynderyn
Artemis ftw. Tftc
Joshua Little
Thanks for the chapter.
Little Silly
Ygg’s golden leaf can straight up revive people, Jake can exchange some Primal Origin Jake Juice or a favor to “revive” a lost lineage of something.
Little Silly
✋I haven’t seen that word in a decade ok
Dan
That's the only thing I could think of from what Villy said, and I have a sneaking suspicion Jake forgot he was planning to meet up with her lmao.
Little Silly
The issue is that Minaga has been around for tens of Eras, so it’s had plenty of time to patch his exploits.
Little Silly
Eternal shadow, it’s already a chimera and primal, so close enough.
Little Silly
Currently the rest of the event seems to be about narrowing down candidates, so probably only world leaders or even top of their galaxy world leaders will be able to directly participate. The known next thing to do is limited to administrator candidates who reach B grade.
Vega
Thanks for the chapter!
Sammot
I'm pretty sure that like for the mushroom world wonder that the emerald forest is also sectioned off for different grades.

That place was for A grades

I'm guessing the Myconic Depths will be when he becomes B-tier. Might be just before though, we'll see when he gets there.
Ray Light
Or Artemis, or both.
Ray Light
The specs of the ring will be activated and finalized after the event, which might also mean now, once he arrives at the seat, or after the seat part is finished. Wonder if the Prima is also a Bound God like Nevermore🤔
Ray Light
His intelligence stat increases his memory and processing speed. Plus stuff related to these things. Considering his levels, these things don't happen anymore unless he's flat out drunk or higher or similarly incapacitated.
Ray Light
Artemis is a good contender. As is Dinaldria. Both from Nevermore

Thanks all. I forgot about that.
Ray Light
Will Jake face the Primal Prima?😂
Ray Light
I really hope she whisks away Jake and they go somewhere!
PrimalFan
Artemis is about to get a visit from her boyfriend haha
Ray Light
Do elaborate! I have forgotten this was mentioned. Seeing as it's a place outside the 93rd universe and also forrested, will Artemis join him with an avatar?😄
Ray Light
Only people native the the 93rd universe have been selected for this event by the system. They have some sort of checkmark in their file that allows them to participate in it.
Ray Light
They do now though. The setting of the Prima Guardian is not in the Milky Way galaxy🤔 Though I get your point. This part so far was all habitable planets within their current galaxy. Still. It's intergalactic cause Zog is hinting at travel to places outside their galaxy like going to the Malefic Order.

"all Prima Vessels have lost most functionality, and all intergalactic teleportation must happen under regular circumstances" -> think this should be "intragalactic", since the vessels never really facilitated travel between different galaxies.

The prima event is not done yet so does that mean all the C-grades that travel from other universes can take part in the events for the locals? If so everyone who can pay the price will go there as the events of new universes gives lots of records.

There are options to upgrade the rings and beads at the end of the event and Jake can't even see what his ring is capable of until the end of the event. I'm hoping Zog covers this in the next chapter since we didn't really see the full effect of the rewards.
Jordan Rogers
It may mean Artemis and Yggdrasil, but I suspect it’s more to do with the king, or both. (Cause of all the lead up with the kings remnant, and his Jake juice having refilled, plus he needs to fix palate. Honestly dude is way to busy to be making house calls what was he think

He fell off recovering from the soul damage when he tried upgrading his skill.

New word! Neet. I'm excited

Dendrophile: Deep lover of trees and forests. The word comes from the Greek words dendron (tree) and phile (lover).
Clint
Oh. Interesting thought. I was imagining exploits like the Church deliberately holding people’s levels down so they could teleport to the 93rd and then quickly level. But Minaga could be the ultimate cheat here. Unless the System has patched that exploit…

Just one letter off to not state the obvious true exalted prima(Prima and Primal). The entire event is possibly just ment for one being.

Zizawah
Jake being Jake, super focused, I doubt he'd get names mixed up. :) But he's a serial monogamist and they just have to get on board. Although, so far, he's been lucky having them at different locations. Imagine if Carmen, Irin, and more meet up. However, there's already the existing support club where Irin is fitting in fine with wannabes Meira and Scarlett. :)
Tudor
I'm hyped up for what's coming! Tyftc Zogarth
Mike
Nah because of his soul injury he fell to number 2. It's revealed in the chapter or two after the nightmare difficulty arrow crafting. He did say the fact that he only fell to 2 was a testament to the strength of the Earth Prima
The Uub
There were still space mages studying it, and it was located conveniently next to all those planetary teleport hubs that were built next to it. Also, when was the last time you saw Jake really think ahead on the details, moving it without an immediate reason would be out of character lol.

Wasn’t Jake was #1 even before the death of Ell’Hakan? Reference chapter 942. “…with him even being the top-ranked one following the death of Ell’Hakan.”

So is Villy saying to stop by and see Artemis before the Depths? Nature's attendant still owes Jake a Gift after Nevermore, right? Possibly to get a bow. And they already did the rewards for the Prima Event? I thought there was more to give after the event fully ended. If I don't remember correctly would someone remind me what chapter so I can reread it? That would be awesome.

TFTC!
Xander
After nevermore he said he was gonna go visit. Also NA owes him a present iirc
Andyr98
He said he would go when the system event was over at the end of nevermore
Xander
It teleported back and forth between the core and the desert when Jake claimed the core. Dont think it ever needed to go back there after that. Jake used it from the desert to teleport round the galaxy.
Xander
TFTC :) Guess Jakes off to see the tree peeps :) I've been wondering what the present from Natures Attendant would be. Heres hoping Artemis knows an asshole dragon that needs taking out. Now that I think on it Ygg has a certain resource that Jake could use to great effect on certain of his items. Suggested edits: "Jake *didn’t* wait to read it as he checked it out." possibly should be "couldn't" otherwise this sentence says the same thing twice" jake didnt wait to read it as he read it" sort of thing. "it was just repeating a lot of *what* the system message they got upon finishing the event for the Milky Way Galaxy **. " either extra word "what" or missing word at the end "said" "they knew that the universe wouldn’t just fully open up from one day *or another*," should be "to the next" "All regulated by the *systems*.” should be "system"

I am assuming the reference is going to visit a certain primordial tree and a huntress goddess
Shadowessence
Dendro, video game used it to wood powers so I knew lol, nice meeting an old team mate or a hot huntress who works with trees?? Hmmmm

Thanks for the chapter!

Ah, good ol' Villy. I like it when he shows up in the chapters.
Will Young

I've missed Villy!

Dendrophile means tree lover

No that's the world pylon. The prima vessel is the thing that dropped onto the planet and where they fought the boss.

Thank God, the jake had got to purge the moon with fire

Thanks for the chapter. I enjoyed the slice of life segment but now I’m looking forward to the upcoming action.
Jeremiah Lambert
I just googled it. I'm hoping that means an Artemis chapter
Eden
A nice little chapter before bed
frankie doerr
So no one has to google it dendrophile is sex with or attraction to trees so maybe Artemis or banana tree but villy said inner so no idea Edit: damn I’m slow I read this chapter as soon as it came out and yet like 10 people googled it and posted before me
Jelani Willock
HA! Connect with Artemis sly viper like usual
Alan Lint
Believe it would transport people to the core so they can claim the plyon but it's originally in the desert where they fought all the Primas
Kayla
The prima vessel is in the desert on the other side of the world from Haven, but it has the ability to go to the planet core and back

He gonna go visit Artemis? Or the moon? Also when he gonna fix palate? He cant mete out justified mushroomy death upon the mycotic depths if it isnt fixed!
A. B. Edwards
Dendrophile for those that don't know is someone who likes trees. Guess that means those who predicted the next arc was going to be going and playing with Artemis were right. We might finally see Jake up his archery to true godly levels having an actual hunter Goddess, one who is very much like him, train him. This will be interesting.
Luke
Nah, they used the prima vessel to teleport to the core and claim it (turning it into a planetary pilon) then they used it to teleport back to the surface
Rad
He’s about to swing by and chat up Artemis, isn’t he?
KodamaZelk
Going to spend time with Yggdrasil?
Momongama
Did he say he would visit yggdrasil? Can't remember
Andyr98
Finally the trip to Artemis
Matthew Smith
Dendrophile - a person who loves trees. In other words we are going to get more fun time with Artemis.

"Dendrophilia: "love of trees". The term may sometimes refer to a paraphilia in which people are attracted to or sexually aroused by trees. This may involve sexual contact or veneration as phallic symbols or both." For everyone else who had no idea and needs to look it up. Trip to see Artemis?
Canis
Also yes. I know he's gonna get a bow with wood from that primordial tree eventually.
Arrogant Savant
Dendrophilia literally means "love of trees". The term may sometimes refer to a paraphilia in which people are attracted to or sexually aroused by trees. This may involve sexual contact or veneration as phallic symbols or both. Andrew Marvell made poetry using dendrophilic themes.

Thanks for the chappy
wyattmon
Thanks for the chapter!
Jennifer Leigh
I assumed he was going to see Artemis about training and a new bow.
ScorpioPerk
and now im looking up dendrophile
Gnothi Seauton
First thing I did is look up dendrophile: someone who has a deep love and appreciation for trees and forests.
Canis
Dendrophile.... So I'm assuming going to fight the moon monster or to the yggdrisil realms.
Bob of Doom
Wasn't the prima vessel at the core of the planet?
Arieh Sochaczevski
Thanks for the chapter! “Tutorage” should probably be “tutelage”. Both are correct, but one is much more commonly used than the other.
