Treeborn World
After arriving, Veyron spent a few days updating the Almighty Source in the World Tree Spring.
The reason? Probably because the spring itself sat right on top of the World Tree.
With the injection of the new Almighty World Source, everything in Treeborn World—its overall environment, the seven million pure women, and the new life being nurtured—was rapidly evolving on a massive scale.
Of course, no matter how fast ordinary creatures in the realm grew, it couldn't compare to individuals like Olga, Celestine, or Claudia, who could directly drink and even get injected by the Source itself.

Back in the main world, Veyron handed Eirin Yagokoro the previous versions of the Almighty stuff he'd brought from Treeborn World.
Eirin really wanted to know exactly what was changing—and why it involved semen.
Veyron, though? He just wanted to know if Eirin could produce something similar that he could taste. And if that could make him stronger.
He was about to head to his next stop, but Eirin insisted on getting a fresh "sample" so she could compare.
---
A few hours later…
Veyron's next stop was... the Sunflower Field.
And yeah, as most of you probably expected… Yuuka Kazami—who was still just a pure, ordinary friend during the Lunar War—had somehow slipped into a vague, ambiguous relationship with him afterward.
Well, there had already been a connection between them. For Veyron, Yuuka was the one who'd helped and trained him—even if they didn't start off with a deep relationship. Maybe at first she was just curious when he activated his Photosynthesis trait, but over time they became really close friends.
And, well… when a man and a woman are both available (in Veyron's case, he's a harem guy, so he's always available), things happen.
Which brings us back to the age-old question: Can men and women really be just friends? Or is one side always secretly waiting for the chance to punch a hole in the other's romantic life?
...
The Sunflower Field
After… well, we all know what happened, Veyron finally got around to explaining the real reason he came here—he had something he wanted her to check out.
"Senzu beans?"
Yuuka, the green-haired yokai, took the bean from Veyron's hand.
At first glance… it was just an ordinary fava bean.
Wait—no.
"Where did you get this…?"
Using Yōki, the yokai energy, to examine the Bean in detail, Yuuka's expression shifted from casual to curious.
"It's not from this world," Veyron explained, then got straight to the point. "I haven't been to the true place where they're grown yet. The ones I have now came from a coincidence—something basically impossible to reproduce. I was wondering if you could try using these as seeds and see if you can produce more."
Senzu beans had two core effects:
→ First, eating just one would keep you full for at least ten days.
→ Second, no matter how exhausted or badly injured you were—even if you were on the verge of death—if you still had a single breath left, the bean would restore your body to peak condition.
For him, those functions weren't absolute anymore; whether it was staving off hunger or healing injuries, the effects would be reduced when used on himself.
But given his current level—and for most beings on a universal scale—they could suppress their cosmic power to a mortal state, so a Senzu Bean would still work exactly as in the original lore: a full 100% recovery.
That's why, during that run of 200 Gacha pulls, the jar of senzu beans had been ranked the same as the "Saint Cloth Forging Method" and the "Spear of Longinus".
Still, why even after Eirin's tests on SCP-500, the Panacea, had confirmed it was a concept-level object that couldn't be replicated with this world's capabilities, did he still bring the beans to Yuuka instead of just using his own Divine Ki, Will, and reality-bending abilities?
First, Dragon Ball itself had already shown that while senzu beans were absurdly overpowered, even in the late stages of the story when power levels were out of control, one bean could still instantly restore someone to full health.
But the existence of Korin, the Cat Hermit, proved that growing senzu beans didn't require immense raw power, but rather meeting certain specific conditions.
There were even Variations like the Dark Senzu, a massive Senzu Bean grown at Chocolay Tower using Kili.
"Second thing.... here, drink this first."
Veyron handed Yuuka Kazami a small glass vial. "Consider it an advance payment for helping me try to grow these beans."
Inside the vial was pure Almighty World Source, the kind that could shape lifeforms on a universal scale. It had been purified by him over and over for more than three days.
With her absurdly high natural affinity and her ability to command flowers, Yuuka might be able to grow senzu beans just like Korin.
Just maybe.
On the other hand, could a being equivalent to an entire universe simply brute-force the creation of such an overpowered healing item?
Also maybe.
But combining the two? A Flower Master of the Four Seasons who'd just been boosted to a cosmic-level existence—now that was worth testing in Veyron's opinion.
Yuuka simply took the vial and downed it in one gulp.
After touching the senzu beans earlier, her curiosity had already been hooked by something so far beyond her experience. Now, with Veyron's "advance payment" in her hands (well, in her belly), she naturally placed the research at the very top of her priorities.
...
Yuuka got results sooner than expected.
"Senzu beans aren't actually that hard to grow," Yuuka reported a few days later, after calling Veyron back to the Sunflower Field.
"As long as you're careful during their growth, under normal conditions you could get a harvest in about a year."
"Then what's the problem?" Veyron asked.
"The problem," Yuuka said, "is that our world doesn't have the kind of special environment they need to grow."
"Rejection by the world's laws?"
A faint golden light flickered in Veyron's eyes as he followed her gaze, using his Divine Will to probe the reason behind the failed grow.
"Something like that," Yuuka nodded. "From what I've observed, in worlds without the corresponding laws, like ours, the very rules that allow normal plants to thrive actually suppress senzu beans. That makes me think they probably don't have a high yield even in their homeworld—unless that world's entire ecosystem is made up of plants like them."
That actually made sense.
In Dragon Ball, when senzu beans first appeared, Korin had a whole jar full—but that was the result of years of careful stockpiling. Even with the right methods, he could only harvest a handful each year.
That's why, as the story went on, the beans—once casually eaten like snacks—became precious enough to count one by one. If it wasn't absolutely necessary, they were better saved.
"So, if the reason they can't grow here is because our plant-growing laws suppress them, and we also lack the laws they do need… what about a special space that either contains all laws, or has no laws at all?"
Veyron thought aloud for a moment, then looked at her.
"That," Yuuka admitted, shaking her head, "I've never encountered before."
"Then let's try it."
With that, Veyron gave her permission to enter the Shared Space of the chat group.
