Apart from his ancestry, there was also the possibility of his bloodline being a parasitic entity. He would have loved to consult the blood rule stream spirit of the Card World about it, as he had gained the bloodline while trying to comprehend the blood curse meaning of the blood rule.

However, he hesitated, knowing that the blood rule stream had granted him a cursed bloodline that had since grown into cursed primordial bloodline along with his growth. This was not something he could easily explain to the blood rule stream spirit without risking the revelation of his secrets.

Therefore, he decided to start by researching cursed bloodlines in the Infinity Library and the history of the Card World. There was bound to be a case of someone else gaining the cursed bloodline while attempting to comprehend the blood curse meaning of the blood rule.

Updating his to do list, Wyatt then lifted the space isolation barrier, preparing to attend to Dredre and her unborn forest spirit. As he appeared, he found Dredre waiting for him. Seeing him, she approached and said, "Everything is ready. The child is prepared to be born as the spirit of this entire space. Everyone is waiting for you."

"Alright, let's get started," Wyatt replied as cheerfully as he could, though he couldn't quite match Dredre's level of excitement.

Soon, Dredre led Wyatt and Clown Mask to an island near her floating forest island, where everyone else had gathered to witness the birth of the forest spirit and celebrate it with grandeur.

After arriving on the floating island and greeting everyone while admiring the preparations made for the spirit's arrival, Wyatt discreetly used his authority over the seed world to bury a primordial calamity daughter gem, disguised as a pebble, in the core of the floating forest island through which the forest spirit would start its birth in the physical plane.

The pebble-shaped daughter gem brimmed with primordial energy to attract the spirit's attention, hoping it would be drawn to the energy during its birth, thus falling prey to Wyatt's trap. Given the unborn forest spirit's greed and lack of self-control, thanks to Dredre's indulgence, there was little doubt it would fall for Wyatt's ploy. "Everyone, don't worry if the space grows turbulent during the child's birth," Dredre explained. "It's normal since it isn't being born solely through the floating forest island but through the entire seed world. It would be more appropriate to call it the seed world's spirit rather than the forest spirit," she said, pointing to the banner Susan had made to welcome the forest spirit.

"I'll change it right away," Susan said, summoning her grimoire and quickly updating the banner. Knowing how important this moment was to Dredre, Susan was giving her absolute best to support her cute little friend.

"Anything else?" Park asked Dredre, who shook her head and added, "Everything else is perfect. Now, if everyone is ready, I'll cue the child to begin. Wyatt, please relinquish your control over the seed world to the child when the time comes."

"Of course," Wyatt nodded, as did the others. Seeing everyone prepared, Dredre excitedly flew to her floating forest island and began showering it with golden pixie dust as she danced through the woods.

Her dance was mesmerizing, especially as the golden dust sparkled with each graceful movement. The trees and plants bathed in the dust swayed to her rhythm, while animals and birds joined in song, harmonizing with her graceful choreography. Wyatt and the others couldn't help but wonder if this was a traditional pixie ritual for the birth of a forest spirit.

Their guess was correct, although such rituals typically involved hundreds or even thousands of pixies welcoming the spirit. Due to the circumstances, Dredre had to perform alone, but she was fortunate to have a few close friends to witness the birth and share in the celebration.

Enchanted by Dredre's dance, Bloodette morphed her blood-rule humanoid form into a pixie and began mimicking Dredre's movements from afar. Sensing Bloodette's genuine joy and excitement, Dredre signaled her to join, setting aside their past disagreements.

Bloodette enthusiastically floated over to Dredre's side and, under her guidance, danced to the symphony of animal calls and bird songs. Soon, Corey Park morphed into a fiery pixie form and joined them as well. Inspired, the rest of the girls rushed to join in, even Clown Mask, who hoped to rekindle her relationship with her daughter. This left only Wyatt and the Field Marshal on the sidelines.

"You should join them. I'm sure Dredre would appreciate it," the Field Marshal suggested to Wyatt, who rolled his eyes and, morphing into a pixie version of himself, called out to her, "Join us! You're among friends; there's no need to hide behind a pretense. No one here will judge you-not because they don't dare, but because they truly accept you as you are. Don't be afraid!"

Seeing Wyatt arrive in his pixie form, Dredre was both surprised and delighted. Her excitement grew tenfold, and any lingering complaints she'd held disappeared as she felt embraced by her friends once more. She danced with renewed enthusiasm, keeping her movements slow so everyone could follow along. Though their coordination wasn't perfect, it formed a beautiful, heartfelt symphony.

Finally, the Field Marshal shed her disguise and transformed into a pixie version of her true self, joining the others. It was a remarkable sight, friends dancing together, sharing in the joy and happiness of a dear companion. As if reacting to their harmonious celebration, the forest spirit began to manifest in the physical plane through the forest, eventually encompassing the entire seed world.

Seeing this, Dredre expanded her dance beyond the floating forest island to the entire seed world, scattering her pixie dust into every corner so the spirit could establish itself more easily in the physical plane through the seed world. With a little help from Wyatt, other followed her around.
