"Hiss—"
The snake hissed softly. Although it was well-acquainted with the world, it was actually seeing the Golden Apple Tree for the first time.
It was born in the first era. In the age where Life had yet to be split in two, within that Divine Artifact symbolizing the 'Origin of All Things,' nature naturally nurtured the seed of the first plant in the world.
It was the Seed of All Things. If it had continued to be nurtured in the place of its birth, perhaps the moment the Life Vase evolved into the Genesis Artifact, it could have transformed into a deity, becoming a true innate Deity of Life and Plants. The artifact would have been its true form, just as the earth is the true form of Gaia.
It would have become half-great, after countless beings walked upon the earth.
