After a long night of waiting, the dreamlike lake finally began to show its wonders.

The emerald green palace dome was the first to emerge from the water, and a crystal-clear curtain of water cascaded down from the eaves like a beaded veil.

As it slowly rose, a surging life force spread out like a tide, and the surrounding vegetation grew wildly at a visible speed.

The fragrance of flowers in the air grew stronger, as if even breathing had become a process of enjoying life.

"It's so beautiful," Chen Ying'er unconsciously parted her lips slightly, her azure eyes reflecting the dreamlike scene.

Wang Yuanyuan and Cai'er nodded in agreement without even realizing it.

At this moment, the sun is just rising, and the orange-red morning sun hangs perfectly behind the Temple of Nature, dyeing the entire sky with a magnificent gradient of colors.

A misty haze swirled around the emerald-like palace, blending and reflecting the morning light.

When sunlight shines through those exquisitely crafted emerald crystals, it refracts into countless mesmerizing halos, outlining a flowing, colorful scroll in the mist.

This breathtakingly beautiful scene, both real and surreal, seems to have brought a paradise on earth to everyone's eyes.

"Huh?" Moonlight exclaimed softly.

A sudden warmth spread through her chest, and both Lei Ji and Ya Ting flew out of her arms at the same time.

Ya Ting was quite different from before, and the most eye-catching thing was the two pairs of crystal-clear wings of light on her back.

After a month of training in Aion, Yating finally completed her first evolution!
At this moment, however, Ya Ting's eyes were filled with tears as she stared blankly at the majestic temple of nature.

She slowly knelt on a thick shrub, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and devoutly performed the most sublime salute of the elves.

Her lips trembled slightly as she softly chanted ancient and obscure Elvish language, the light around her flickering with her emotions.

Enveloped in this rich life force, her body seemed to become more transparent and pure, as if she were resonating with nature.

Although the elemental spirits worship the elemental gods, the three elements of light, water, and earth are particularly close to the goddess of nature.

Returning to the embrace of nature at this moment, Yating was overwhelmed with excitement and awe.

Little Rachel stood behind Yating, gently comforting her in the same Elvish language.

...

Just then, Ling Xiao suddenly announced loudly, "You can enter now. Inside, it's all up to fate!"

Huang Shuo nodded slightly upon hearing this and turned to look at A Bao.

Ah Bao slowly stepped forward, and the two exchanged a silent understanding as their eyes met.

Ah Bao simply nodded in acknowledgment, then lightly touched the ground with his toes, his figure floating out like a falling leaf.

"Be careful, everyone." Huang Shuo's deep voice echoed in the ears of the demons.

Before leaving, Yueye gazed deeply into the direction of the moonlight, her lips parting slightly to silently convey a message only they understood.

(Little brother, be careful)
She then followed the demon army toward the Dream Temple.

The human camp was equally determined and immediately organized its forces to advance together.

Lightning crackled in Moonbeam's palm as he said in a deep voice, "Do not act rashly after entering the temple. I will come to find you." With that, he flicked his finger, leaving a leaping arc of lightning mark on each of his teammates.

As for the other three, he didn't even glance at them—whether they could find opportunities or escape the demons' pursuit in this perilous dream paradise depended entirely on their own fate.

Since they were complete strangers, even if he warned them that they were all successors of the Demon God, they might not listen.

"Understood!" Cai'er and the other five responded in unison.

"Little Rachel, Yating, come back first," Moonbeam called softly.

"Ring~"

"Woo~"

Lei Ji and Yating responded and then transformed into streams of light, merging back into Yuehui's body.

……

Stepping into the dreamlike temple, you are greeted by pure greenery.

There are no other colors besides green.

The soft green light, like the most primal pulse of life, undulated rhythmically.

(This green is really making me a little uneasy)
After the ten demons and the other three humans disappeared through the gates of Dream Paradise, Moonbeam said, "I'll say it one last time," "If you encounter demons and cannot fight them, immediately use the Dream Gem to leave Dream Paradise!"

"I know, Captain~" Chen Ying'er drawled, "You've repeated that more than a dozen times! Our training in the Tower of Eternity wasn't for nothing!"

Everyone nodded, their faces beaming with confidence.

Looking at his companions' expressions, Yuehui couldn't help but smile.

Indeed, their progress over the past month has been remarkable.

If it weren't for the fact that those demons had sealed their cultivation levels and were actually at least at the 7th rank or higher, he wouldn't have needed to give such repeated instructions.

"In short," Moonbeam took a deep breath, "be careful in everything, let's go!"

He took Cai'er's hand, and the two of them stepped into the surging green light deep within the temple.

...

The moment Yuehui stepped into the green light, she immediately felt a warm spiritual energy enveloping her body like flowing water.

What made his heart clench was that Cai'er's hand, which he had been holding tightly just moments before, was now nowhere to be seen.

(Even physical contact couldn't prevent them from being transported separately?)
The surrounding greenery grew even denser, as if one were immersed in molten jade, or riding a green torrent.

This strange teleportation process didn't last long; suddenly—

"Wow!"

As if breaking through a curtain of water, Moonlight stepped out of the green light.

A breath of fresh air rushed towards me, and the world before my eyes suddenly opened up.

The melodious chirping of birds danced in his ears, the fragrance of unknown flowers permeated his heart, and sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled golden spots at his feet.

"Is this the dream paradise?"

Yuehui took a deep breath, and a rich life force instantly filled her lungs, making even her blood feel lighter.

A familiar warmth suddenly came from their chests, and Rachel and Yating couldn't wait to crawl out.

"Ring~"

Reiji imitated Yuehui's deep breath, her small face showing an expression of ecstasy, and the lightning around her softened.

Ya Ting transformed into a streak of light, weaving through the treetops, her four wings of light refracting a rainbow of colors in the sunlight.

She lightly brushed past each leaf, as if kissing her long-lost homeland.

Looking up at the sky, Yuehui saw more than twenty streaks of light scattering and shooting like fireworks.

(The spirit furnace disperses, it seems everyone has entered the dream paradise)

With his eyes closed and mind focused, the subtle electric currents in the air became an extension of his perception.

A moment later, Yuehui's lips curled into a confident smile: "The senses are still there. The nearest teammate is twenty miles away."

"It's time to go," Moonbeam called softly, and the two little ones responded immediately.

"Ring~"

"Woo~"

……

More than ten miles away, in the lush green ancient trees.

A demon covered in purple crystal armor was laughing wildly with its head thrown back.

His bluish-purple skin was covered with eerie lightning patterns, and two fangs protruded from his lower jaw, gleaming with a cold, white light in the sunlight.

"Jie Jie"

"The demons' laughter sounded like fingernails scraping glass, and it smelled like a spirit furnace."

He stuck out his forked tongue and licked his fangs, his purple vertical pupils fixed on the scattered streaks of light in the sky.

"And the hunting of humans... it's time to begin!"
