I'm not just human!

Xia Fa's gaze sharpened:

"You feel it too?"

The bee of nature nodded vigorously:

"Yes, Master, have you forgotten my ability? The more something is related to nature, the clearer I perceive it!"

Xia Fa smiled slightly:

"Okay, let me give it a try."

As he spoke, he casually waved his hand.

Inside the red and silver star shell, countless thick vines suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of Xia Fa.

These vines intertwined like snakes, forming a shuttle-shaped door!

With another thought, Xia Fa caused the shuttle-shaped door to open to both sides.

He and the Bee of Nature eagerly peered inside, both of them overjoyed!

Inside the shuttle-shaped vine gate lay an island, bathed in sunlight, with the azure sea undulating around it.

The island was enormous; in terms of area alone, it could be described as vast and boundless, almost comparable to the size of the City of Ten Thousand Stars or the City of Augustus.

The island's edge is lined with golden sandy beaches, while its center is a vast tropical rainforest where oil palms, bromeliads, sal trees, rubber trees, and other trees commonly found in tropical rainforests grow lushly and vibrantly.

In the tropical rainforest, one can vaguely see elephants, lions, tigers, wolves, elk, water buffalo, tree frogs, and other creatures leaping about.

"Wait, aren't lions from the grasslands? How come there are some in this rainforest?"

The question flashed through Xia Fa's mind, but he didn't dwell on it.

Because at this moment, an indescribable joy was filling his entire chest.

He could truly feel... that the little world inside the vine gate... belonged only to him!

It seems this is because he has mastered the divine combat technique of the [Tree Realm], and possesses a small world of his own!

I wonder if Kazimierz, who also controls the [Tree Realm], also has such a small world.

Xia Fa decided to subtly inquire about it tomorrow.

Composing himself, filled with excitement and trepidation, Xia Fa, with the Nature Bee already perched on his shoulder, stepped through the vine gate.

……

at the same time.

Barron's Ocean, a remote sea area.

This sea area is usually deserted, for no other reason than that it is too far away from the settlements of the worm islands and other sea people.

This has resulted in the fact that although there is an island in this sea area that is as large as the City of Ten Thousand Stars, and the island is covered with a tropical rainforest, rich in both wild animals and fruits, no one comes here.

Of course, given that Caligari's area is comparable to a supernova, both humans and demi-humans are far too insignificant compared to it.

This has resulted in the Baron Ocean being incredibly vast for humans and demi-humans, with many areas still unexplored and undeveloped to this day.

Therefore, it's normal that no one has ever been to this sea area or this island.

Just then, on the golden sandy beach at the edge of the island, a figure seemed about to break through the air and step in.

In that instant, with a "whoosh," the large island, along with the entire sea area... vanished on the spot!

It's as if a part of the world has been directly "cut out".

The original location of this large island and the surrounding sea area is now just a purplish-black void, with wisps of the aura of the Star Spirit Realm flowing through it.

High above in the heavens, two distinct gazes, traversing countless distances from the only two earthly divine kingdoms on the planet Caligia, looked toward this place.

Those were two grand, majestic, and supreme gazes.

It's as if you're looking down from an extremely high dimension, able to easily see through any secret in the world.

The two pairs of eyes first looked at the sea area that had been hollowed out to the point of being empty, and then exchanged glances with each other.

Those eyes held a mixture of expectation and worry, and finally, both gazes turned to the hollowed-out void.

Splash!

It seemed that just because of those two gazes, the void was immediately filled and became part of the real world again. Then, the waves surged and the sea was reborn.

Then, in the center of the sea, a large island that looks exactly the same at first glance but has many differences in the details slowly emerged.

The beach remains, the rainforest remains, but the wild animals and insects in the rainforest, as well as the various marine creatures in this sea, have developed differences in individual life forms.

It's like... they instantly selected similar-looking creatures from other parts of the universe and placed them here.

Immediately afterwards, both gazes withdrew simultaneously, and the divine kingdom on earth fell silent once more.

The sound of waves crashing against the shore, and the distant, resonant cry of whales echoing in the night sky, made it seem as if the "miracle" had never happened.

……

pat!

Wearing brown suede boots on the soft sand, Xia Fa gazed into the distance, taking in the breathtaking island scenery.

Behind them, the vine gate slowly closed and completely disappeared into the air.

The reason he was so certain that this was an independent "small world," and not some island in the real world that he had been transported to through the vine gate, was because it was nighttime here, but daytime.

However, instead of the sun hanging in the sky, there was only intense light, almost as bright as the sun shining down.

"If everyone who masters the divine combat technique of [Tree Realm] could possess such an independent small world, wouldn't [Tree Realm] be considered the most cost-effective divine combat technique?"

Xia Fa thought to himself jokingly, and his mood became more and more cheerful.

After all, this is my own little world, my own!

This is completely different from the "subspace" that angels and beings of supreme status and above can create.

The subspace is essentially just an empty space that can never develop into such a small world. Even if various animals and plants are continuously thrown into it, those animals and plants will not last long and will eventually die.

Even if a person stays in the subspace for a long time, they will be affected to some extent.

The reason for this is that the subspace has not even a trace of the "origin" of the world, let alone the ability to connect with the origin of the universe.

However, Xia Fa had seen these independent little worlds in books on mysticism; they all possessed at least a wisp of the world's origin and could directly connect with the origin of the universe!

In this situation, the small world can function like a normal world, where living beings can reproduce and thrive on their own, continuously growing stronger.

Even the small world itself seems to have ways to expand.

In a sense, once one becomes a god, it is equivalent to becoming the only "god" in this small world!

On the other hand, this independent little world can also almost completely isolate it from the prying eyes and divination of most powerful beings.

In other words, in the small world, one is almost absolutely safe and can do whatever one wants.

Unless someone can find the coordinates of their little world in the Protoss realm and destroy it along with them.

"So, the primary goal now... is to establish my own base in this small world?"

Xia Fa thought excitedly that once the base was established, he would have a real "home"—a home that was absolutely safe.

As for whether this base will be expanded into a village, then developed into a town, then into a city... and ultimately possess an entire civilization that belongs to itself and has its own beliefs.

Let's just treat this place as a place to relax and recuperate for now.

Xia Fa felt that they could consider it later.

For some reason, he thought of the nested ghost realm in the underground cave, the civilization created by the entire giant jaw beast in that nested ghost realm, and the Outer God they worshipped who was bound outside the Ancient Mithril Gate.

Perhaps that Outer God played the game in this way, but perhaps He failed to master the divine combat technique of the [Nature Monarch] [Tree Realm] and did not possess a small world, which resulted in Him being able to develop an entire civilization in this way within a nested, bizarre realm.

That's why they were targeted by the giant, heavily armored cavalrymen carrying golden halberds, and suffered a devastating blow.

However, in my own little world, I don't need to worry too much about this. It's very difficult for anyone to actually pinpoint the coordinates and find me in the almost infinitely large Protoss Realm.

The difficulty was almost like finding a needle in a haystack.

"Master, Master, this place is wonderful!"

The bees of nature were now completely excited, their plump bodies flying back and forth on the beach, buzzing loudly.

"I could live here forever! When I'm thirsty, I can eat fruit from the rainforest, and when I'm hungry, I can lie on the beach and sleep!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Fa couldn't help but chuckle:

"Really? Then you can stay here whenever you want and use your abilities to make this rainforest as lush and prosperous as possible."

The bee of nature exclaimed happily:

"Really? Thank you, Master!"

But then it suddenly remembered something and became reluctant to leave:

"But, Master, what should I do when I miss you?"

Xia Fa smiled slightly:

"That's easy, come here."

The Nature Bee immediately buzzed and flew to him. Xia Fa casually pressed his hand on its plump body, and a vine mark appeared and disappeared into its body.

"With this mark, you can summon the vine gate at any time, open it, and enter this little world. But don't do it while I'm asleep."

That mark, which Xia Fa named the "Tree Realm Mark," served exactly as he described.

However, when a human or other being with the Tree Realm Mark tries to enter their little world, they will immediately sense it.

Then, the vine gate will only open with your consent.

"Yes, Master! Don't worry, Master, I will definitely only go in and out of here during the day!"

The bee responded happily, but then a hint of embarrassment appeared in its big, dark eyes:

"Master, may I...can I go play in the rainforest first? To get acquainted with the creatures there. I sense that there are a few powerful supernatural beings in there."

Xia Fa smiled and waved his hand:

"Go ahead, call me if you're in danger."

Unless those supernatural beings possess power surpassing that of extraordinary monarchs, Xiafa naturally has nothing to fear.

As the bumblebee-like bee buzzed towards the rainforest, Xia Fa watched its retreating figure, lost in thought.
