Is this space portal rigged? Opening right in the lake?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That really scared me, but luckily I can swim.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait… where’s the Optimist?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh no! That guy was wearing heavy armor, did he sink to the bottom?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha! This is hilarious, he picked the heaviest armor from the shop just a few days ago. Is he going to be the first player to drown?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Lu, Chopin, and I am Invincible laughed uproariously, splashing about in the water, showing their true nature as mischievous friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, soon, a panicked voice came through their team chat channel from the Optimist:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nock knock! (Save me!) Blub blub…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently, he’d swallowed a bellyful of water, and his voice sounded odd coming from underwater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three jokers laughed without mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chopin, save him,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eve heard Boxed Lunch’s slightly hoarse voice through his perspective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“On it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mage player Chopin could be heard chanting a rhythmic incantation, casting the third-circle magic spell “Feather Transformation Technique,” applying it to the tank warrior, the Optimist, who was sinking to the lake bottom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Feather Transformation Technique could turn the target’s gravity as light as a feather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the gravity on the Optimist’s body lightened, he finally managed to free himself, quickly floating to the lake’s surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could be seen spitting water, swimming toward the shore with the help of his teammates, while still unable to resist saying,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow! I really thought I was going to die! Thanks, Old Chop, I’ll treat you to some barbecue later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need to be polite, we’re all teammates. Hmm, I’ll take roasted whole lamb.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…You sure know how to make demands!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The players laughed heartily as they swam together toward the shore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, the spot where they fell wasn’t in the middle of the lake, and in less than three minutes, they reached the shore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once ashore, they collapsed onto the ground like dead dogs, shared a glance at each other’s soaked expressions, and couldn’t help but burst into laughter again before finally inspecting the half-plane world around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were situated on the shore of a small lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surrounding them was a lush forest, its density not a bit inferior to the Elf Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, compared to the towering ancient trees of the Elf Forest, the trees here seemed far younger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the forest floor lay a thick layer of dead wood and fallen leaves, forming a rich humus layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, when I was underwater just now, I seemed to hear someone calling out from the shore, did any of you hear it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The players looked around and conversed while taking in their surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t notice, I only heard the ‘what the heck’ when you fell into the water; maybe you heard wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm… maybe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But it seems quite safe around here, I don’t sense any powerful presences.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t that obvious? The boss lady already said this half-plane’s energy level is at most Silver Upper, so we’re probably the big shots here, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boss… boss lady?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Divine Country, watching them, Eve couldn’t help but twitch her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The players’ conversation continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t expect this place to be a forest… I thought it would be a maze or some special kind of space.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, same here, if not for the sky, I’d think I was still in the Elf Forest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The players chatted as they looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Eve saw Boxed Lunch’s view look up to the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the Segis World sky, which was very similar to Blue Star, this half-plane’s sky was all a misty white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, black cracks, like electric snakes, could be seen constantly moving across the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The sky… it looks like shattered glass, a bit scary.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Lu clicked his tongue in wonder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Eve recognized what it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*”It’s a space rift… It seems this half-plane is indeed very unstable, probably due to my past two attempts to forcefully enter…”*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She mused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The players first familiarized themselves with the environment and then wrung the water out of their clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, they continued to chat intermittently, sharing any discoveries they made.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The magic power level in this half-plane seems extremely low, when I used Feather Transformation Technique just now, I almost entirely relied on my own magic, without much resonance with the magic power in the air, and… I feel like my magic recovery speed is really slow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Said Chopin, the mage player.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have a similar feeling… Also, even though the scenery here is comparable to the Elf Forest, I feel an indescribable sense of irritation since coming here, a mirage of power draining that makes me feel stifled… But my personal panel doesn’t show any change.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Druid player Hu Lu frowned and touched his nose as he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he looked at the others:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What about you guys?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other players closed their eyes to sense the area and shook their heads:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, I didn’t have that feeling.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Me neither, but… there is indeed an inexplicable sense of oppression, even though we’re surrounded by forest, there’s a sense of a gloomy and lifeless atmosphere…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could it be related to our target? Is it the influence of the Life Scepter fragment? After all, it’s a Divine Artifact, it would be normal for it to have some peculiar effects, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s possible…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The players engaged in lively discussion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, without any conclusions from their musings, they quickly focused on their next course of action:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where do we go next? There doesn’t seem to be any mission hints…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Should we explore the forest?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then we need to choose a direction first, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Captain, do you have any ideas?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they spoke, the team members looked at Boxed Lunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of thought, Boxed Lunch said, “Let’s ask Ling.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ask Ling?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the others were initially puzzled, then their eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They slapped their thighs:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right, when we came in, the big sis… cough, Lord Ling said she could communicate with us across worlds!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quick, ask her! It’s like having a built-in ‘grandpa’!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We should call her big sis! Be careful, Lord Ling might hear and lower your affinity!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahem…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few jokes, the players quickly called out to Eve:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Ling, are you there?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Ling, did you see our view?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Ling, where should we go next?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing their call, Eve, who was watching through Boxed Lunch’s perspective, pondered for a moment, cleared her throat, and was about to give guidance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just before she spoke, her heart suddenly stirred, and she stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She saw the low shrubbery in the nearby forest suddenly rustle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanied by a clear female voice, a group of tall figures appeared in the players’ view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nicoya! In the lake up ahead! I saw several people fall into the water! Quick, go save them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And seeing the seven or eight figures emerging from the bushes, the players were all taken aback:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Humans?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the opposing group expressed surprise, carrying a hint of doubt and astonishment:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Div… Divine Race?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>",1387,"2026-06-03T12:38:19.555Z","2026-06-03T12:38:27.253Z",1,"novelbin.me","71c686408ded954672e152ecee3a1ecdc4427e77e92e8450cef31c53cfe14d9f","elf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-chapter-448","elf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-chapter-446",1431,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Felf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-cover.jpg"]
