Grinding EXP From Fireball Skill

The Elf God’s Divine Realm, the Golden Field.

After losing its final source of power, it completely collapsed.

Li Wei looked up. Through the spatial rifts in the sky, he saw countless creatures from the Abyss in the Void outside.

They were like a swarm of locusts, preparing to devour this dying world.

Li Wei was just wondering how to contact the Elf King to get them back.

A Golden Teleportation Gate appeared right beside him.

Li Wei glanced at it, a look of surprise on his face.

He grabbed Saint Xi and hurried into the Teleportation Gate.

SWOOSH!

The Teleportation Gate vanished from the Golden Field.

Li Wei returned to the Elf King’s Royal Palace, feeling rather speechless.

He looked at the Elf King and said, "You can open a gate directly to the World Tree. Why did you drop us off so far away?"

The Elf King looked at him and said coolly, "I told you. It was a test."

"Consider yourselves barely qualified."

Just as Li Wei was about to say something,

the Elf King said, "A reminder: what you were talking about earlier cannot be spoken carelessly here."

Li Wei shut his mouth. He had just been about to ask the Elf King how much he knew about the Dragon God.

Realization dawned on him a moment too late.

This was the material world, under the watchful eyes of the gods.

Unlike the Golden Field, mentioning sensitive topics related to the gods here could easily attract their attention.

He glanced up and pointed toward the heavens.

The Elf King said flatly, "It’s good that you understand."

Li Wei was surprised to find that the Elf King was actually a good person.

It was just that he hadn’t seemed very friendly before.

Not as straightforward as the Beast King.

However, considering that the Golden Field had collapsed right after he took the Divine Fragment...

Li Wei couldn’t really blame the Elf King.

Although the Golden Field had been half-dead, it still contained vast treasures and resources.

His actions had directly caused the Elf King to lose the resources of an entire world.

Li Wei felt a little embarrassed.

"Um, I didn’t know it would turn out like this," Li Wei said, a bit sheepishly.

The Elf King looked at him and said, "What? You want to compensate the Elf Race for its losses?"

Li Wei gave a weak smile. "I’d like to, but I don’t have the ability..."

The Elf King said, "If you can raise the World Tree you brought out, that will count as compensation for the Elf Race’s losses."

A look of surprise crossed Li Wei’s face.

"You knew..."

The moment the words left his mouth, Li Wei stopped.

’That was a stupid thing to say.’

The Elf King knew everything he had said inside the Golden Field.

’Wasn’t it perfectly normal for him to know that I broke off a branch of the World Tree?’

The Elf King said, "The original World Tree is dead. The World Tree in the Elf Forest has now become the true World Tree."

"It was grown from a branch of the original, so it’s impossible for it to branch off and create a second World Tree."

"If something happens to this World Tree, then the seedling in your possession will be the last World Tree in this world."

"Take good care of it."

Li Wei was shocked. He never expected this connection.

’So each world can only have one World Tree.’

’Only after the original World Tree dies can a second one be born.’

’If the World Tree in the Golden Field hadn’t died, then no matter how large the World Tree in the Elf Forest grew, it would never have become a true World Tree and possess the Law of the World Tree.’

Li Wei suddenly thought of something—the uniqueness of a Law.

’Could this be the reason why there can only be one World Tree?’

Snapping back to his senses, Li Wei earnestly promised the Elf King, "Alright, I will definitely protect the World Tree seedling."

The Elf King said nothing.

He didn’t expect Li Wei to be able to do much.

Even the Elf Race wasn’t sure if the World Tree could survive.

The World Tree in the Elf Forest had not been successfully planted on the first try.

Before this one grew, the Elf God had broken off countless branches from the original World Tree and planted them in the Elf Forest.

At first, they were meticulously cared for, watered carefully with Magic Spring Water.

In the end, they all withered and died.

Eventually, the Elf God grew impatient.

He had the Elves under his command simply break off a new branch and stick it in the ground whenever the previous one died.

Unintentionally, one of those branches survived for a very long time and then grew into a great tree.

Meticulous care had been useless, yet a casually planted branch had survived.

Leaving the Elf King’s Royal Palace,

Li Wei glanced back at the World Tree.

He noticed that it was indeed a little different.

Before, it was just an exceptionally large tree.

Now, the World Tree emanated a faint fluctuation of Law.

Perhaps one day, it could truly grow into a World Tree that supported the world.

Li Wei looked at Saint Xi and said, "Let’s stay in the Elf Imperial Court for a while to increase our strength, then we’ll go look for the last fragment."

Saint Xi nodded.

The trip to the Golden Field had made Li Wei realize that his own strength was somewhat lacking.

He planned to stay in the Elf Forest for a while.

After all, the Elf King hadn’t kicked him out.

Thinking of this, Li Wei suddenly thought of the Elf King’s good side again.

The Beast King, on the other hand, had been completely merciless, slapping him all the way to the Elf Forest.

He hadn’t even been given a chance to refuse.

’Then again, I guess I deserved it.’

’I forced my way into the Inheritance Ancestral Land in the Beastman Royal Palace and killed quite a few of the Beastman Race’s Professionals.’

The Beast King not slapping Li Wei to death was already considered magnanimous.

Li Wei shook his head, clearing the stray thoughts from his mind.

It was difficult to judge either the Beast King or the Elf King by any single standard.

And Li Wei didn’t like to judge others anyway.

He led Saint Xi through the Elf Imperial Court, looking for a place to stay.

They ran into Laya, who was out exploring.

It was Laya’s first time in the Elf Imperial Court, and she was extremely curious about everything there.
