I haven't decided on a name for my Pokémon trainer yet.

"It's almost finished," Ye Feng thought to himself.

Ye Feng looks terrible right now. He hasn't slept for three days straight, and his dark circles make him look a bit like a panda.

He cannot afford to be distracted in the slightest. If the three streams of spiritual energy he is guiding fluctuate, the balance between the energies will be broken instantly, the Punishment Pot will be damaged again, and all three days of effort will be in vain.

If it weren't for the World Tree constantly providing spiritual energy and keeping Ye Feng conscious, Ye Feng estimated that he would have fallen into a deep sleep the next second.

The three Pokémon are in much better condition, after all, they have strong abilities as a foundation.

Now that the Jar of Punishment is nearing completion, they no longer need to concentrate on drawing energy as they did at the beginning. The Jar of Punishment will automatically absorb the energy it needs, and they only need to keep their mental energy stable.

This can alleviate Ye Feng's pressure to some extent.

Of course, Ye Feng's hard work wasn't in vain.

The continuous use of his mental energy over the past three days made him feel that his superpowers had been further enhanced.

He now felt as if he had merged with the World Tree, and with the power of the World Tree, he could even sense the elves in this secret realm.

Mew was dozing off on a tree branch, while Gardevoir was meditating with its eyes closed on the grass below. Ye Feng sensed a powerful psychic aura surrounding it.

Little Hoopa and Tokis were chasing and playing around, seemingly fighting over berries.

The Growlithe ran across the grassland, the wind blowing through its soft fur, looking dashing and heroic.

Gyarados floated on the water's surface, occasionally splashing a large wave with its tail. Water poured down from above, soaking it completely, but Gyarados showed no discomfort whatsoever, instead displaying a comfortable expression.

Aggron was playing with several Golems, Onix, and Steelix in a rocky area? No, it looked like they were having a strength contest? Rotom was taking pictures nonstop on the side.

Kingdra was staring blankly at a dragon scale in a lake next to Gyarados—it looked like a scale given to it by a giant Dragonite. What was it thinking? Wait, why did it suddenly use Meteor Shower?

Speaking of which, what about Articuno?

Ye Feng quickly searched the secret realm and soon found it on a mountain peak.

Articuno stood atop a mountain, gazing into the distance, lost in thought.

Besides his own Pokémon, Ye Feng also observed the other Pokémon in the secret realm.

Several green caterpillars hung from branches in the woods, spinning silk. Not far away, behind the leaves, a pair of sharp eyes kept staring at them, seemingly eager to make a move.

Under the tree, Arbok chased after several Rattatas as they passed by. Perhaps due to the World Tree's restrictions, or perhaps due to Arbok's predation, the Rattatas here were not rampant, but rather in a relatively reasonable number.

On the grassland, several little fire horses, led by the fiery horse, ran around non-stop, occasionally letting out joyful cries.

In the lake where Gyarados was, behind a rock in the corner, several Magikarp stared blankly at Gyarados.

Hmm? There's a Snorlax over here, it looks like it's eaten and is sleeping, there are food scraps all around it;

···

Just as Ye Feng was observing the various forms of the elves in the secret realm, his gaze began to rise uncontrollably, rising higher and higher.

What's wrong? Ye Feng was a little flustered, but under the influence of the World Tree, his mental strength remained completely unaffected.

Ye Feng first spotted a giant swallow, his gaze quickly sweeping over it—he even saw the giant swallow's chest rising and falling slightly.

Then came the dense foliage, followed by the tree canopy, and the view continued to rise;

Then he saw the enormous World Tree. He felt as if he were right next to the World Tree, with a vast and lush grassland below. On the grassland, there were running Arcanine, Ponyta, and Rapidash.

As the line of sight continued to rise, everything on the ground became difficult to see, turning into patches of color.

Ye Feng tried to distinguish them: the green areas were probably grasslands, the darker ones were forests, the blue ones were lakes, and the yellowish-brown ones were probably rocky areas.

Some of the color blocks had already blended together, and Ye Feng couldn't tell exactly where they were.

Ye Feng didn't know what had happened. He was a little flustered, but he also seemed to be quite calm.

As his vision rose higher, Ye Feng realized that he seemed to have left the secret realm where the World Tree was located, because he suddenly saw a blue ball at his feet.

Ye Feng's eyes widened, and he felt his heart stop beating—although he didn't know if he had eyes or a heartbeat, that blue ball was undoubtedly Earth!

What on earth happened? Had his soul left his body? Otherwise, how could he be seeing such a scene? Ye Feng was filled with doubt.

Soon, he noticed that the Earth beneath his feet seemed to be different from other places.

He vaguely saw countless orbs of light surrounding the Earth, which flickered constantly, sometimes dim and sometimes bright.

Every now and then, a cluster of light would suddenly disappear. Ye Feng noticed that after the cluster of light disappeared, a bright spot would appear in a certain place on Earth.

Although Ye Feng couldn't see what was inside the light orbs, a certain consciousness told him that all of these light orbs were secret realms!

And that highlight is the secret realm that has descended!

Is this how the secret realm descends? Ye Feng wondered.

Did the World Tree allow him to see these scenes?

But why does it make itself see all this? What's the point?

Just as Ye Feng was wondering, he was shocked to find that one after another the orbs of light seemed to be polluted by something, slowly turning black, and finally disappearing as if they were merging into the darkness.

"This is?!"

Before he could think any further, Ye Feng felt his vision tremble, and then he was falling so fast that he couldn't help but scream.

"Xiao Fengzi!" An anxious voice rang in Ye Feng's ears.

Ye Feng was momentarily dazed and shivered as he saw Mew floating anxiously in front of him, surrounded by other Pokémon.

"What's wrong? Why did you suddenly yell?" Dream asked.

"Uh, it's nothing, I just saw some strange things." Ye Feng shook his slightly dizzy head, then suddenly remembered something, "Where's the Jar of Punishment?"

“Over there.” Dream pointed to the top of Ye Feng’s head.

Ye Feng looked up and saw a strangely shaped pot, somewhat similar to the fully formed Huba, floating quietly in the air.

"The Judgment Pot is successfully completed. Now that Shadow Sprite is no longer a threat," Mew said, flicking its tail in a relaxed tone.

As Ye Feng looked at the Judgment Jar, images of the disappearance of the secret realm kept flashing through his mind.

After a long pause, he opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice, "Dream, the Shadow Elf situation may be more serious than we thought."

"It seems...something big has happened."

Chapter 331 The Vanished Secret Realm

Ye Feng strongly suspected that his recent out-of-body experience was another vision of the future that the World Tree was showing him.

No, this doesn't feel the same as when I watched it before. It might be something that's happening right now!

Ye Feng told Meng Huan what he had seen.

"You saw a luminous, mysterious realm outside Earth? The realm was stained black and then disappeared?" Dream pondered for a few seconds. "Are you sure you're not dreaming? You haven't slept for three days. You might be too tired and hallucinating?"

Ye Feng's face darkened. This was completely different from a dream, wasn't it? He knew very well that he was fully conscious at that time.

"No, I'm pretty sure it wasn't a dream, it was a scene the World Tree wanted me to see. But... I'm not sure if it's happening now, or if it will happen in the future."

"Has anything happened in the secret realm recently?" Ye Feng asked.

Dream shook her head, indicating she didn't know: "Let's assume what you saw was real. Do you think the disappearance of the secret realm is related to the shadow elves?"

Ye Feng paused for a moment: "This... I'm not sure, but my first thought is that it's the work of the Shadow Elves. Besides, didn't we see a secret realm before where there wasn't a single elf? We suspect they were captured by the Shadow Elves."

However, there aren't that many powerful elves in the secret realm, and legendary elves aren't easy to find either. I have good reason to suspect that the shadow elves have started targeting the secret realm itself, but I don't know how they've done it.

"And why would it target the secret realm?"

Otherwise, how could the secret realm have disappeared on its own?

However, this matter is not yet fully confirmed, and what Ye Feng said was just his speculation.

Dream frowned. The secret realm itself? Could it be that it coveted the power scattered from the World Tree? Although each secret realm contained very little, if enough were collected…

"You should rest for a bit. If you don't sleep for three days, I'm afraid you'll die from exhaustion. I'll go check on you," Meng Huan said, and then disappeared.

"···"

As the dream departed, Ye Feng suddenly felt a jolt in his spirit—the World Tree had withdrawn the spiritual power that had sustained him, and an intense feeling of exhaustion instantly overwhelmed him.

Ye Feng didn't even have time to react before he collapsed to the ground with a thud and fell asleep instantly.

···

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Feng's eyelids twitched slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.

Several heads suddenly swarmed in.

"Ugh..." Ye Feng clutched his head, which was throbbing with pain, and struggled to sit up with Gardevoir's help.

"I'm so hungry... Gengar, get me some food." Ye Feng felt weak all over, and his stomach was cramping.

How long has he been asleep?

"How long have I been asleep?" Ye Feng asked while slowly eating.

"Shainai."

"One day?" Ye Feng muttered. That's alright. He thought he would have to sleep for ten or eight days.

"Phew!" After eating a little something, Ye Feng felt a bit more alive.

"Koujie!" Gengar walked over, holding the Judgment Bottle in both hands.
