My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 529

Seeing everyone hard at work, Kisha and Duke decided to join in.

While Winter’s men focused on cutting down trees, Kisha climbed up the mountain and used her telekinesis to pull tree stumps from the ground effortlessly.

She flung the stumps out into the open, leaving them to dry so they could later be burned and processed into coal.

But Kisha’s efforts didn’t stop there.

After removing each stump, she carefully planted seeds in its place, hoping they would eventually grow into new trees.

Her goal was to ensure that the ecosystem within her territory wouldn’t suffer from the deforestation.

Although there were no wild animals in her domain, Kisha understood the importance of preserving the mountains’ greenery.

Keeping the forest intact would not only benefit the environment but also provide valuable resources in the future.

"Young Madam, where should we put these stumps?" one of Winters’ men asked as he approached, dragging a large tree stump from the other side of the forest.

"I’ve already placed the other stumps down the mountain," Kisha replied. "Could you ask the others to dig a pit there as well?"

"How big should the pit be, Young Madam?"

"Make it a few meters wide and about one and a half meters deep," Kisha instructed after a moment of thought.

She then added, "Also, ask the others to find the largest bucket or container they can and be ready to help cut these stumps once they’ve dried."

The man nodded and left to carry out her orders.

Kisha returned to her work, using her telekinesis to pull another stubborn stump from the ground.

She cleared away the remaining roots before carefully filling the space with dry leaves and ashes, ensuring the area would be ready for planting or further processing.

She hadn’t asked the Winter’s men to help with the stumps, as they were already busy cutting down trees.

However, since they volunteered to assist on their own, she didn’t stop them.

Once she finished clearing one area, she repeated the process, searching for other tree stumps left behind from the cutting.

Fortunately, the men were mindful in their approach. They didn’t cut all the trees in one location.

Instead, they selectively felled trees a few meters apart to ensure the mountain wouldn’t be left bare.

Scattering across the mountain, they worked methodically, cutting trees from various corners to preserve its natural balance.

Some of Winter’s men were scattered along the small river stream up the mountain, all the way down to the lake and swamp areas, collecting clay.

Fortunately, the different locations yielded various types of clay, offering artisans a range of colors and textures to choose from for their crafts.

To keep things organized, the men carefully sorted the clay into separate large containers based on its properties.

The mixing, however, was left to the artisans, as it was their area of expertise.

Meanwhile, others were focused on pulling large rocks from the rocky side of the mountain.

These stones were destined for the stone masters, who would shape them into something of value with their skill and craftsmanship.

’My territory will not run out of rocks and clay, would it?’ Kisha wondered as she watched some of Winter’s men pulling carts laden with large rocks and clay toward the STAU.

This setup ensured the STAU’s wouldn’t have to move back and forth constantly, streamlining their work.

Besides, it served as excellent lower-body training for the Winter’s men, adding an extra benefit to their efforts.

"Don’t worry, Host. Your territory is not like an ordinary mountain," 008 reassured Kisha, sensing her concern.

"How do you think it was created? Certainly not through science. The resources here won’t run out, just as the flow of time in this space differs from reality."

008 understood why Kisha was so worried.

If they continuously extracted resources like rocks, soil, and clay—especially those that couldn’t be replenished—one might assume the territory would eventually shrink.

However, that was impossible.

This space was formed from a cultivator’s lifetime of spiritual energy and cultivation, making its foundation far beyond the limitations of normal physics and science.

Naturally, such depletion wouldn’t happen easily.

As long as there was sufficient spiritual energy, the territory would heal itself, regenerating its resources and restoring balance.

In fact, 008 had once explained that with enough spiritual energy and cultivation, the territory space could even grow into a vast continent.
