"So you're here to ask if I can quickly accelerate the growth of newly sprouted seedlings?" In a corner of the Harvest Church, Uther looked at the person and the rabbit in front of him with curiosity.

"Yes, it's winter now, which isn't suitable for planting, and if we want to make plants grow quickly, the only Beyonder ability I can think of is from the Church of the Earth Mother." Leyton nodded honestly, but didn't mention that he was doing this to help Bugs Bunny play the role of a Planter.

"This goes against the natural laws of life's gestation." Uther shook his head.

Leyton was stunned for a moment, not expecting him to refuse. Leyton had originally thought this matter would be simple.

Leyton pondered for a while, then spoke again: "It doesn't need to make the plants grow to maturity directly. I just hope to shorten the plant's growth cycle, like fertilizing, to make the plants grow a bit faster."

"Fertilizing does not shorten the plant's growth cycle." Uther shook his head again, refusing.

"Sigh~" Leyton sighed helplessly, reaching out to rub Bugs Bunny on his shoulder, indicating that he was also powerless.

"Just making the plants grow a little faster, the kind that doesn't require Beyonder abilities to maintain, is that not possible either?" Leyton asked one last time.

"Since you're not using Beyonder abilities, then why don't you just plant them yourselves?" Uther was even more confused.

"You can think of it as providing a suitable environment for plants, just like summer flowers can't grow in winter, but they can grow in a winter greenhouse. Can I create an environment that allows plants to grow more robustly and quickly?" Leyton explained.

Uther was silent for a long time before speaking with some difficulty: "If this kind of environment is not maintained by Beyonder abilities, the effect will also be limited. Are you sure you need it?"

"Can the soil be made fertile?" Bugs Bunny asked curiously.

"I can give you some nutrient solution prepared by the church. You only need to pour some nutrient solution into the soil periodically to maintain its fertility." Uther quickly offered a solution.

"Okay! Thank you, I might need quite a lot. Just sell it to me at the corresponding price." Leyton nodded and said.

"Okay, I can prepare these nutrient solutions myself, they aren't special items. But what do you need so much nutrient solution for?" Uther was a bit curious what Leyton needed so much nutrient solution for. Was he planning to use it on an entire estate?

"Cultivating different varieties of the same type of crops for experiments." Leyton casually made up an excuse.

"What experiment?" Uther became even more curious.

"Uh." Leyton paused, then began to fabricate wildly.

"I feel that because of the existence of Beyonders, the development of this world largely relies on Beyonder power. The vast majority of people in this world are actually ordinary people, and only changes based on the vast majority of ordinary people can truly achieve widespread popularization." Leyton felt himself getting more and more outlandish.

But Uther in front of him listened more and more intently, so Leyton could only continue to make things up: "So I want to try to see if I can cultivate crops that can increase yield or adapt to various environments without Beyonder power. Simply put, it's about stabilizing hybridized products."

"Stabilizing hybridized products? Is that possible?" Uther asked, very confused.

As a Harvest Priest, he himself could cause plants to mutate, but if no Beyonder abilities were used to exert influence, the final products would be completely uncontrollable.

"Why not? The plants on the continent aren't static. I'm just turning this process of natural selection into artificial selection, and speeding it up a bit." Leyton used all his high school biology knowledge.

"Your idea is very meaningful. If you hadn't already joined the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, I would now want to invite you to join the Church of the Earth Mother. Your philosophy is very consistent with the Mother Goddess's teachings!" Archbishop Essie Mia of Harvest Church had approached at some point.

"Good afternoon! Your Grace!" Leyton hurriedly bowed to Archbishop Essie Mia.

"Your Grace!" Uther also reacted, turning to bow to Archbishop Essie Mia behind him.

"Good afternoon! Mr. Leyton, I believe I haven't misremembered your name." Archbishop Essie Mia's voice was very gentle, a kind of maternal, loving tone.

Leyton felt no demigod's majesty from her, but her previous battle with that out-of-control Sanguine Viscount who had Transferred Pathways and advanced had left a deep impression in Leyton's mind.

"No, I didn't expect Your Grace to still remember me." Leyton said with a touch of emotion.

"Although I am not a Beyonder of your Reader Pathway, my memory isn't too bad! However, I must first congratulate you on advancing to Sequence 7 so quickly." Archbishop Essie Mia made a joke, then stated the fact that Leyton had already advanced to Sequence 7.

Leyton didn't think there was any problem with a demigod seeing that he had advanced to Sequence 7; he was just a bit emotional about how approachable this demigod was.

"Can you elaborate on the idea you just spoke about? I'm very interested in it. If possible, the Church of the Earth Mother is willing to provide help within a certain scope for this matter, whether it's the experimental materials you need or assistants." Archbishop Essie Mia did not continue with pleasantries, going straight to the point.

"Huh? Why?" This development was completely unexpected for Leyton. He was just speaking casually, and any ideas he had were just fleeting thoughts, after all, he wasn't a Beyonder of the Mother or Moon Pathways.

"Don't worry, it's just that this matter involves spreading the Mother Goddess's glory, so the Church of the Earth Mother is willing to provide some assistance. You can think of it as an investment, I think you might understand that expression better." Archbishop Essie Mia explained.

Leyton nodded, Archbishop Essie Mia's explanation was very reasonable. It's just that he really was just speaking casually!

Now, if he said he was just joking, would this demigod instantly transform into a three or four-meter tall giant bear and slap him?

Leyton suppressed his wild thoughts, trying hard to recall the little biology knowledge he had learned, then organized his words.

"My idea is to cross different types of biological individuals to create excellent offspring that can stably inherit traits, thus increasing the yield and adaptability of crops." After racking his brains, Leyton could only manage this one sentence.

"Thank Roselle for bringing the concepts of heredity and genes to this world, otherwise I wouldn't know how to explain it." Leyton silently gave a good person card to the old yellow-haired man still in the tomb.

"Hmm, what kind of help do you need? The Church of the Earth Mother can provide both nutrient solution and laboratories for cultivating crops." Archbishop Essie Mia nodded and said.

Finally, he turned his gaze to Bugs Bunny on Leyton's shoulder. Bugs Bunny timidly buried his head in Leyton's collar.

As a Beyonder of the same Pathway, it could feel how terrifying this kind and approachable aunt in front of it was.

"Is it your assistant? Its Sequence is a bit low. When it needs to advance later, you can come to the Church of the Earth Mother, and the church can provide it with potions. For your current experiments, if you need anything, you can always find Uther, and he will provide you with help." Archbishop Essie Mia generously covered the potions Bugs Bunny would need for future advancements.

Leyton really wanted to say, "Your Grace is generous, I agree." But he really was just speaking casually just now, and now he was a bit stuck on how to get out of it.

"Uh, Your Grace, this is not something that can yield results in a short period of time." Leyton reminded the Archbishop.

He hoped the other party could retract her words, because Leyton was worried that in a little while, he wouldn't be able to resist the temptation of the conditions offered by the Church of the Earth Mother.

"I understand, we will not rush you. This is a promise from the Church of the Earth Mother, no matter where you are, you can receive help from the local church." Archbishop Essie Mia said thoughtfully.

Finally, the Archbishop added: "Your assistant's current abilities are not enough to help you complete the experiment. The church can provide you with some suitable mystical items or Sealed Artifacts. Of course, you can also directly find Beyonders from the church to provide you with help."

Leyton felt he couldn't refuse this temptation, just like a fish, even if it knew the food in front might be bait, it would still bite.

"Okay, but can I find some assistants myself later? If I encounter Beyonders whom I feel are capable of helping me." Leyton could no longer resist the temptation offered by the Church of the Earth Mother.

Leyton's current thought was to quickly go to sea and trick Frank into coming over to help him with experiments. As long as he didn't conduct anti-human experiments, Leyton felt Frank's abilities were still very strong.

"Of course!" Archbishop Essie Mia nodded with a smile.

"Then I have no more questions. Oh, by the way, can you provide me with some Church of the Earth Mother experimental data in this area? Also information on various crops, so I don't have to look up the data little by little myself." Leyton inquired.

"No problem, I will have Uther send the materials you need to your home later." Archbishop Essie Mia readily agreed.

"Okay! Thank you, Your Grace!" Leyton politely bowed and thanked her.

Even after walking out of the Church of the Earth Mother, Leyton felt dizzy. He had clearly only come to find Uther, wanting some charms or potions to make plants grow quickly, and somehow, he ended up accepting investment from the Church of the Earth Mother and starting a new project!

"I'll never speak casually again!" Leyton warned himself in his heart.
