What if you ascend to the wrong world?

Is this still the Elf race I remember?

"By the way, why were you so afraid of meeting the Holy Archmage of the Mage Association before?"

Once Fina regained her normal thinking, she became quite talkative.

Once she started talking, she clearly couldn't stop.

"I was just asking. If you can't answer, that's fine."

"...There's nothing I can't say."

It was all a misunderstanding from the start. It was because he took himself too seriously that he went through all this.

"It all started back when I was a Holy Light Warrior..."

Lorne spoke at a moderate pace, his voice exceptionally calm.

Holy Radiance Warrior?

The divine warrior class of the Church of Dawn is known for its thick skin and tough flesh...

Cough!

Known for its outstanding defense!

In the early stages, they are superior to ordinary warriors in every way, but in the later stages, the situation reverses, and they are completely inferior to warriors.

It's a profession with a very low skill ceiling.

In comparison, the Holy Knights of the Church of Light are much more powerful. Whether they are first-tier or third-tier, they can completely overwhelm warriors of the same level.

After all, every paladin who has been 'baptized' can borrow the power of the gods...

It's actually just borrowing the power of a divine artifact from the Church of Light. However, the Church of Light believes that everything originates from light, and the artifact was made by the Goddess of Light, so that's not wrong.

"Due to an accident, I was attacked during a patrol, which gave me an opportunity that would change my destiny..."

"Opportunity?"

"It was a serendipitous encounter."

Fina nodded and continued listening to Lorne's story.

Until the sun completely sank below the horizon, half the sky was tinged with twilight, and the stars twinkled.

"You know what happened after that. I met you after I left the Saint Kru Empire, and then I came to Sky Island."

Lorne actually omitted a lot.

Like the "Secret Sword of the Ultimate Path," and the portable cultivation recording terminal that Ye Tu gave him...

But immediately after hearing it, Fina couldn't help but ask.

"You participated in the uprising of the Saint-Kru Empire?"

"Ah."

"So you're just going to leave like that?"

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Lorne frowned.

What's the problem...?

Fina was taken aback by those words and was momentarily speechless.

This is a huge problem!

The rebel army of the Saint Kru Empire, now known as the Church of Life and Death, is the only demigod-level force besides the Dawn Empire!

"After you left the Saint-Kru Empire, you probably haven't been paying attention to the situation with the rebels, have you?"

"No……"

He was just a first-tier extraordinary professional, and he had been traveling all this time, so he had no time or means to learn about what was happening within the Saint Kru Empire.

He originally planned to settle down first, and then try to contact his older sister, Lerian.

"What exactly happened?"

"The Pope of the Church of Life and Death, who is also the leader of the rebels, is the only demigod existing in the world besides the Dawn Empire."

The only demigod?

Lorne frowned.

"so what."

"..."

Lorne doesn't seem to understand this.

"Some time ago, he single-handedly repelled the reinforcements from the Church of the God of Wealth."

"Furthermore, the Church of the God of Wealth paid 40 million gold coins to the Church of Life and Death for this matter."

Forty million gold coins?!

Lorne looked up abruptly, finally beginning to understand.

"Now you understand, right?"

How can someone stay by your side through tough times, only to run away as soon as things start to look up?

but……

The Lord of Life and Death, worshipped by the Church of Life and Death, is actually the Lord of Dawn of the Dawn Empire.

Why does His Majesty the Lord of Dawn want to develop his faith outside the Dawn Empire?

Moreover, 'the master of life and death'...

Has he seized yet another source of power?

……

……

Before long, the last glimmer of light in the distant sky also disappeared.

Ye Tu finally appeared at the hotel entrance.

Irene Vitte and Daphne were right behind him.

A man dressed in a mage's robe, wearing a pointed round hat, and carrying a box in his hand.

The other one was simple, wearing loose, easy-to-move gray light armor, with her snow-white long hair tied up with a ribbon.

"Your Majesty."

Fina quickly bowed, and Lorne also stood up swiftly.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Ye Tu glanced at the two of them, without waiting for their reply.

"Let's go."

As soon as the words were spoken, the two of them felt a blur before their eyes.

In the blink of an eye, the world before me changed.

Under the cold, desolate moonlight, there was a dense forest that was both dreamlike and eerily quiet.

Verdant vines hung from the branches, and glistening moss covered the protruding rocks in the forest. A stream flowed down from the top.

Along the bank grew small, crescent-shaped grasses, only about a hand's width tall, their color gradually changing from bluish-white to greenish-white along the crescent shape from the inside out.

Elemental creatures, born only in special environments, surrounded him, and specks of magic dissipated in the air like fine sand.

Right beneath their feet, a cobblestone path stretched inward, disappearing into the dreamy, hazy light.

Along the roadside are road signs that seem to grow out of the ground.

Lush and verdant, with dew still clinging to the leaves, tiny white flowers, the size of grains of rice, dot the green foliage, forming a few words—

Welcome to the Elf Forest

Is this the Fairy Forest?

Irene Vitte looked into the depths of the dense forest, and in the hazy, dreamlike light, she saw giant mushrooms scattered throughout the woods.

It's like a house, hollowed out inside, where you can see traces of life through the half-open door.

So, do those elves who adhere to tradition really live in houses made of mushrooms, just like in the legends?

She froze again at this thought.

These……

Who told me all this?

“It’s so quiet,” Daphne suddenly said.

Irene Vitte paused, came to her senses, and looked into the depths of the forest again, instantly noticing something was wrong.

Quiet!

There was nothing but silence.

Not to mention human voices, there wasn't even the rustling of leaves in the breeze or the gurgling of the stream.

The entire Elf Forest seemed to fall into absolute stillness.

The fallen leaves froze in mid-air, the stream flowing down from high to low remained still, and even the hazy, dreamlike light remained within a certain range without any change.

After observing for a while, she looked at Ye Tu:

"Should I give it a try?"

"Don't."

Ye Tu gazed at the Elf Forest before him, which was now completely still.

After a while.

“Let me go, Your Majesty,” Fina said firmly.

This is her hometown; even if there are any problems, she should be the first to try.

Lorne opened his mouth, but said nothing.

Almost there!

The 50,000 gold coins and a batch of precious potion materials were simply too much for him; he almost lost control of himself.

Thankfully, I managed to hold back in the end.

"It's no use you going," Ye Tu still refused.

As he said this, his gaze remained fixed on the Elf Forest.

The next moment!

call out!

Before anyone could react, a streak of light pierced through the Elf Forest at an unimaginable speed.

But after flying only about ten meters, the streak of light began to show abnormalities.

It seemed to be bound by some invisible force, and it became slower and slower.

When it reached about fifteen meters, it slowed down to an extreme, taking a long time to advance even an inch...

But that's enough.

The ray of light slowly descended, pulsating as if alive, and finally bound a crescent-shaped blade of grass, which began to shrink back little by little.

However, the retraction process was not like before; the speed remained constant throughout, always very slow.

It took more than ten minutes for that ray of light to completely withdraw from the still Elf Forest and return to Ye Tu's hand.

A crescent-shaped blade of grass gently floated into Ye Tu's hand.

Its texture is smooth and lustrous, unlike a plant; rather, it resembles a jade carving.

“Your Majesty,” Fina couldn’t help but say.

"The situation is worse than I expected," Ye Tu sighed.
