章 159: Chapter 159: Planting the Seed

Roman took a deep breath, his mind whirling with the gravity of the moment. He followed Earth to the very center of the cavern, where a small, circular depression in the ground seemed to pulse with latent energy. The air around it shimmered, as if charged with an unseen power.

Earth knelt down, placing the seed gently in the depression. Her hands hovered over it for a moment, her eyes closed, as if she were communing with the planet itself. Roman watched in silence, feeling a deep reverence for the ritual unfolding before him.

A low hum began to emanate from the ground, growing in intensity. The seed started to glow, its light expanding and filling the cavern with a warm, golden radiance. The energy was palpable, vibrating through the very earth beneath their feet.
