Chapter 89: Astonishment, The Man Welcomed by the World Tree

The battlefield of myriad realms, the Endless Forest.

A verdant expanse of woodland covered distant mountains, grassy plains, and earthen mounds.

Massive trees stretched across the landscape in lush, verdant clusters.

Though dense, the layered, overlapping leaves seemed arranged with an orderly stratification.

This allowed sunlight to scatter onto the earth in a staggered, harmonious pattern.

It prevented the people living beneath these colossal trees from facing gloomy darkness.

The beautiful and fertile land, when brushed by gusts of wind, brimmed with green vitality.

The sunlight shimmered like scattered stars.

It should have been summer,

the season in the battlefield of myriad realms known as the 'Second Cataclysm,' a terrifying time.

Yet here,

not a single trace of summer's essence could be discerned.

The reason

was only one.

Located at the center of the Endless Forest,

a colossal tree that pierced the heavens, vast and boundless.

It dispels the summer heat,

Its leaves are pale green, translucent,

Even the fiercest sunlight, passing through it, becomes warm and gentle.

Its trunk majestic, its green leaves reaching the sky,

No one knows exactly how large it is,

Only that it covers the entire Endless Forest.

Its branches and leaves stretch straight into the heavens,

As if arrogantly wanting to envelop the world,

Or as if modestly playing with the gentle breeze and white clouds.

It has a very ostentatious name,

One tree, one world.

Hence called: World Tree.

It is the divine tree of the elf race.

"I really wish to climb the World Tree..."

"They say the elves living there are beautiful and elegant."

Three male humans,

sitting atop a tree crown, gazed with admiration at the translucent World Tree occupying the entire sky.

"Dream on, they're beautiful and elegant, but you missed their most important trait—arrogance."

"With the arrogance of the elf race, how could they possibly let us climb the World Tree?"

One male human curled his lips,

mercilessly shattering his companion's grand daydream.

"Indeed, it's already quite good just to come to this Endless Forest to escape the heat."

"Still dreaming of climbing the World Tree? Pipe dream."

Another male human mercilessly mocked his companion.

"Heh heh."

The man fantasizing about climbing the World Tree chuckled awkwardly twice,

He also knew this kind of wish was, admittedly, too dreamlike.

Even though the elf race and humanity are friendly,

wanting to climb the World Tree is basically impossible.

Unless you're a big-shot figure from one of the five major human civilizations.

The Endless Forest,

hosts many neutral units, and lords who come for reputation, sightseeing, or to escape the heat.

Anyone who loves nature and is not an evil creature,

can live here.

The elf race is a kind-hearted and nature-loving race,

so they do not reject outsiders living within their clan territory in the Multiverse Battlefield.

Just,

Outsiders wanting to ascend the existence they regard as divine in their hearts—the World Tree,

is basically impossible.

But not absolutely impossible.

A branch of the World Tree,

descended from the heavens,

lifting up a handsome, elegantly dressed man in luxurious white clothes,

and a breathtakingly beautiful blonde elf.

Many people saw this scene.

"Holy shit!"

"That, that's a branch of the World Tree descending??"

The three male humans sitting atop the tree crown were dumbstruck.

At the same time,

a surge of commotion,

many people climbed onto giant trees,

gazed at the sky,

stunned, looking at the World Tree branch descending from heaven.

Watching the man and woman being lifted by the World Tree branch.

What kind of existence,

could stir the divine tree of the elf race?!

And have the World Tree personally receive them??

Even if you climb the World Tree, you walk yourself, right?

Who gets carried by the World Tree?

Many people were bewildered.

“Even for Her Majesty the Empress, ascending the World Tree requires using the ‘Celestial Tree Stairs’……”

A male elf, with an expression full of confusion,

Within the elf race,

only elves above Level 50 are qualified to ascend the World Tree,

and only elves above Level 70 are qualified to live on the World Tree.

For elves who enjoy living in treehouses,

the World Tree is both sacred and an aspirational existence.

As for causing the World Tree to lower a branch?

Unheard of.

Even some elves with long lifespans,

have never heard of,

any existence that could cause the World Tree to lower a branch.

Even a thousand years ago, when the leader of the current top race across all realms, the Red Devil race, came to visit,

he failed to cause the World Tree to lower a branch.

What exactly happened?

The elderly elves were stunned,

while the young elves excitedly opened their terminals and started taking photos.

To record this moment, one that could be written into the elf historical records.

And those outsiders,

were more curious,

they didn't understand the significance of the World Tree lowering a branch,

they only felt that someone was able to ascend the World Tree,

and even got the World Tree to personally welcome them,

it was very impressive, very remarkable.

“That, that man, seems to be a human, right?”

“Absolutely impossible!”

“How could a human male cause the World Tree to lower a branch?”

“It, it seems… indeed a human.”

A lord with the ability of long-distance vision,

stared dumbly at the sky.

"Truly, truly a human male?"

"And so young...?"

Through the terminal's focal length adjustment and photography,

many people saw clearly the man standing with his hands clasped behind his back on a branch of the World Tree.

With sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, his appearance was handsome and elegant,

even among the elves,

he would be a rare and handsome countenance.

Combined with his saintly and noble white attire, his demeanor was graceful and noble,

like a high-ranking elf.

But his ears were not the pointed ears of elves,

his waist torso was not slender like elves,

and his hair color was deep like the night.

He was unmistakably human.

[Amazing! A human male receives the World Tree lowering its branch to personally welcome him!]

[Elf Big Event, shocking! A human male and the World Tree have such a relationship!]

In an instant,

many outsiders captured this scene,

then posted it to the Forum of Ten Thousand Races.

Especially those humans living here,

posted this to the human forum in droves.

They wanted to know,

which human big boss had entered the elf territory and could receive such honor.

"What's this, the Elf World Tree?"

For new-era lords, contact with such knowledge was relatively unfamiliar and distant.

However...

compared to previous-era lords, they also possessed insights unknown to previous-era lords.

"Holy crap! Isn't that Su Yu, who climbed to first place on the 'Most Despicable Competition Rankings'?"

"It really is Su Yu, how did he get to elf territory??"

"That's the Endless Forest, right? And he's on the World Tree..."

"I remember, the World Tree is a very sacred place for elves, outsiders are very difficult to go up."

"Maybe, because he has an elf legendary hero?"

"Also possible."

Replies kept flowing in the human forum.

Soon, the news of Su Yu ascending the Elf World Tree spread everywhere.

"Holy hell, Su Shen ascended the World Tree?"

"Ah this... wasn't he fishing earlier?"

"How did he blink and go to elf territory."

"Perhaps... used a teleportation item?"

"That's the Endless Forest of elves, what teleportation item can teleport so far?? From the edge of the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Worlds, to the central zone??"

"Wow."

Jian Ruiming: "I can only say, truly worthy of being Su Shen."

Bai Bai Xiaowei: "@Su Yu, Su Shen, why didn't you bring me, I don't want to level grind anymore... I want to snuggle with beautiful elves."

Su Yu: "@Bai Bai Xiaowei, stop clamoring, busy."
