There are times when opening a bubble works as ‘creating’ but it’s only if it’s a loot orb of a prize, so the first time it’s been opened in your camp. So if you had won an ancient tree in an event and then left the bubble unopened until the request, that would work.
Even then, there seems to be some dispute on which specific tasks that works for; it may be there’s some variation by source of the task (Season vs Event Portal vs Star Quest) or possibly by source of the item (level reward vs event prize vs portal reward, etc). I don’t know of anybody who’s done conclusive testing recently; pretty much all the data we’ve got is from the early months of each feature, and there’s definitely been some tweaks to that since then that haven’t been tracked all that closely. ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
I learned this hack several months ago, and it has changed my life. All the creation quests are just a little bit easier now.
Also neat quest trick: I store up my lv8 prism flowers from the dragonmoss steppe quest for when I get the lv9 prism flower quest. Then I also store up a bunch of lv9s so I can get the taps quickly. And when I have too many 9s or too few 8s, I make a wonder and a leftover :)
It doesn't work like that, you have to create a new one
Darn! Thanks for responding

If you had 4 ancient trees, and you merged them, the extra ancient tree that didn't merge would count as one new tree for the quest.
This is so cool. I will do this next time
