On the sandy ground within the fire circle, a bloody battle was going on. The black monsters kept attacking the defense line formed by Jennifer, Kelhain, and Modesty, trying to join the ancient tree man. The slain monsters leaked the liquid of the Burnt Lake, and the stench became stronger and more nauseating.

Modesti defended one direction. Although she was easily defeated by Qingkong, it did not mean that she was weak. The fierce war song respected strength. As the former leader of the Moon Song tribe, Modesti had the strength and combat experience that matched her status.

The scimitar held the flame wing, the fist claws gathered sand to form lion claws, and the eagle eye provided her with a bird's-eye view. The hearty battle made her more and more excited, and the fierce war song bloodline drove her into a violent state. The gravel raised by the torch melted and was as gorgeous as fireworks. Modesti was like a crazy flaming lion, killing to her heart's content.

In the other direction was Jennifer, a graduate of the magic academy. In her battle in the form of a living being, she showed the elegance of a magician a hundred years ago. She stood at her position and hardly moved her steps. The magic wand in her hand swung out the electric chain whip like a spirit snake, rolling up all the monsters that rushed close and throwing them into the air.

Then, he would release "Wind Blade Combo" on the monsters that couldn't dodge in the air to cut off their fragile limbs, and finally set fire to the monsters that had fallen to the ground and couldn't move, without any contact with the monsters during the whole process.

The sheriff's presence was interspersed among them, and the defense line was unbreakable.

In the middle, the ancient tree man was driven mad by the holy flame with the power of purification. It did not continue to merge with the monsters, but violently launched all its abilities to attack the clear sky that burst out with strong holy energy.

The branches with poisonous stings were entwined around Qingkong like tentacles, and some branches fired poisonous needles at Qingkong. It can be said that every time Qingkong moved, he would face attacks from all angles, and any negligence would result in continuous control.

But Qingkong couldn't use powerful combat skills. Everything she did was to purify the ancient tree man, not to kill it.

Experience allowed Qingkong to find a gap to leave the siege every time he seemed to be unavoidable, and then cut off the branches where the destructive energy gathered. The Holy Flame purified the separated destructive energy to prevent it from returning to the body of the ancient tree man.

The clear sky at this time was like a professional gardener, using her skillful techniques to remove the branches that affected the growth of the ancient tree man.

As the monsters were destroyed one by one, the ancient tree man gradually became bald. Its attacks were no longer all-round, and its irritability quickly receded.

When the outer perimeter of the defense line was filled with the corpses of monsters, the ancient tree man became quiet. Its roots penetrated into the ground, and the clear sky created a range of rainfall in a timely manner to provide water for the ancient tree man.

Jennifer, Modesty, and Kelhain slowly walked to the bottom of the ancient tree man, looking up at the extraordinary creature that was transformed from the remains of this world tree. The sheriff, who had transformed back into a black cat, jumped onto Jennifer's shoulder, also staring at the beautiful scenery with wide eyes.

In the drizzle, Qingkong, who had withdrawn from her fighting form, stood on a tree branch. With her hand on the tree trunk, she could feel that the ancient tree man, nourished by the rain, was recovering rapidly.

Green light emerged from the cracked trunk, and the wound healed. A strong and vigorous vitality was transmitted from the bottom to the top along the trunk, and then dispersed to different branches. The tender branches poked their heads out and grew rapidly, and then tender green leaves also grew out.

The grown leaves rustled in the wind, and every raindrop that fell through the treetops became crystal clear and emitted a green glow.

The outer circle of fire went out at this moment.

On the grass were the elves who had rushed here after seeing the strange phenomenon. There were elf warriors who had been sent out, and there were also elves from the Moon Song Tribe who came to provide support because they were worried about the World Tree Ruins.

They were riding on their horses, stunned by what they saw.

The dark and huge World Tree Ruins disappeared, and in its place was an ancient tree man. It was much smaller than the World Tree Ruins, but the vitality it exuded was something that the World Tree Ruins did not have.

The elves didn't know what had just happened, and their racial instinct made them dismount collectively and kneel on one knee facing the ancient tree man. Because they could feel the breath of the world tree from the ancient tree man, which was a message from their ancestors.

Then the lions emerged from the bushes, followed by antelopes, wild horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, wolves, foxes...

An eagle landed on the elf's shoulder, and large flocks of birds flew from the distant sky, landing on the ground or on the animals.

At this moment, the hunters and prey on the grassland forgot the pressure of survival and all looked at the ancient tree man in the middle.

Qingkong continued to press his hand on the tree trunk, transmitting his spiritual consciousness into it to check whether the ancient tree man was now healthy.

Her spiritual consciousness reached the root of the ancient tree man, and the Book of Disaster that completed the secret ritual was placed in the root.

Just when Qingkong was about to take back the Book of Disaster, a force pressed on it. Then a voice that seemed to come from ancient times rang in Qingkong's mind: "Is it very dangerous?"

Qingkong asked back: "Who are you?"

"Who am I? I don't remember! Who are you?"

Qingkong said: "I am the elf Qingkong, the chief of the fierce war song Yuesong tribe. I heard your call and used mystical magic to wake you up.

You really don’t know who you are?”

The voice paused for a moment and then answered, "I forgot... I can only feel that there is a place that is very familiar to me, and it is calling me to come over."

"Then go ahead. That was your past life. I will help you inherit your past life's power and continue to fulfill your responsibilities."

"My responsibility? What is it?"

"I don't know. That's your responsibility. It has nothing to do with me."

Qingkong revived the World Tree just to fulfill her own wish and cooperate with the main body to do something. After leaving the Ancient Grassland, she was not sure whether she would come here again in the future.

The World Tree really has nothing to do with her.

But the voice didn't think so: "I feel a sense of familiarity with you, it is the attraction of the same source of power. Therefore, you can talk to me, but they can't..."

Qingkong looked at the elves and animals outside. They were just worshipping devoutly and could not communicate with the power of the revived World Tree.

At this moment, Qingkong figured out why he had such a strong resonance with the World Tree.

Because I have done the World Tree Revival quest, although that was in the game, I did gain great benefits from the main quest of World Tree Revival, and was baptized by the World Tree energy at the end of the quest.

Be reborn by the revived World Tree.

It can be said that Qingkong belongs to the first generation of Fierce War Song. A good foundation is the basis for various enhancements and upgrades of the body.

This is also the reason why the newly revived power of the World Tree feels close to Qingkong.

Of course, Qingkong would not discuss family affection with the revived World Tree Power. She said, "My power does come in part from the World Tree, but it has nothing to do with you. Give me my book and go wherever you want."

"This book is very dangerous!" The revived power of the World Tree pressed down the Book of Disaster.

"The danger and non-danger lies in how you use it. Without it, you will be corroded by the destructive energy and disappear, and everything you created in your previous life will disappear with you.

Give it to me, you can’t protect it!”

After a moment of hesitation, the revived power of the World Tree moved the Book of Disaster from the roots to the trunk. Then the bark in front of Qingkong cracked, and the Book of Disaster was pushed out, but half of it was still stuck in the tree.

"I feel like this book is connected to a very, very dangerous place. If the energy in that place is released, our world will surely be swallowed up by it."

Qingkong grabbed the Book of Disaster and sternly said to the revived World Tree Power: "I know what is behind it better than you do. Give it to me... now!"

The Book of Disaster was loosened, Qingkong grabbed it and threw it into his space backpack, and the cracks on the tree trunk closed up.

"I hope you can protect it. Now I'm going to where I should go. Will you come with me?"

Qingkong observed the Book of Disaster in the space backpack and confirmed that it had not changed. Then he said to the revived World Tree Power: "Of course I will go with you to the place where you died in your previous life, and I will also get all the power that belongs to you back.

Go, Twig, and let the First Men's Prairie see you back."

"Let's go!"

The ancient tree man pulled the roots out of the sand and strode towards the west.

Qingkong floated down from the branch and sat back on the camel's back. He said to Modesti, "Order the tribe to spread the news that the World Tree is about to revive. We will follow the ancient tree man. Don't disturb it. Let it learn more about this world."

Modesty jumped on the horse and whistled loudly to the elves around her.

All the elves cheered and mounted their horses, galloping towards other ancient grassland tribes.

Jennifer gathered the camel caravan.

Kalhain jumped onto the camel's back and ran to Qingkong's side: "Ms. Qingkong, is that the World Tree?"

Qingkong looked at the ancient tree man who was moving away and replied, "No, it is just a young branch that inherited a part of the weak energy of the World Tree. We still have a lot to do to revive the World Tree. But if we take this step, we will be close to seeing the real World Tree."

Modesti rode to the other side of Qingkong and saluted respectfully: "Great Chief Qingkong, I didn't expect you to succeed. From today on, your name and achievements will spread throughout the entire Ancestral Grassland with flying wings and horse hooves, and to the ears of every creature that walks out of the Ancestral Grassland.

It is my honor and the honor of the Moon Song Tribe to follow you in creating miracles."

The sheriff squatting on Jennifer's shoulder wagged his tail and said to Kalhain, "Did you see that? Did you learn it? Hurry up and swear to follow Miss Clear Sky. If you delay any longer, there will be no place for you by Miss Clear Sky's side."

"I..." Kelhain didn't know what to do after being fooled by the sheriff.

Jennifer put the sheriff into her pocket and said to Kalhain, "Don't care what the sheriff said. This guy has always wanted to be Miss Clear Sky's follower, but Miss Clear Sky never accepts followers."

Kelhain asked in surprise: "Could it be that Miss Jennifer is not Miss Qingkong's either..."

“Ms. Qingkong is my savior. She made me feel warm again. I regard her as my mentor and my mother.

The term "follower" is just a title for outsiders, and I am not qualified yet."

Kalhain looked up at the clear sky. She had driven her camel forward along the footprints left by the ancient tree people. Modesti followed loyally with a dozen warriors from the Moon Chanting Tribe.

Some young shoots can be seen poking out from the surrounding sand. Although there are not many, they give people a sense of vitality.

Jennifer led the camel team forward, and shouted to the stunned Kalhain: "Are you going with us, or are you going somewhere else?"

After receiving the invitation, Kalhain immediately responded: "I will go with you, wait for me..."

Just as Modesti said, fast horses and carrier eagles quickly spread the news that the World Tree was about to revive across the grasslands of the ancestors.

Elves, orcs, goblins, barbarians, halflings... all tribes and villages on the grasslands of the ancestors sent horse teams and caravans to gather at the remains of the World Tree Lord. Those tribes that encountered the ancient tree people followed the escort team on their own and prayed devoutly for the World Tree as if they were on pilgrimage.

The name of the Elf Clear Sky also spread throughout the entire grassland of the ancestors.

While Qingkong was following the ancient tree man to the ruins of the World Tree Lord, the imperial delegation to the western border arrived at the most important city in the Harmutu Basin - Sun City.

The Sun Oasis is the fief of the Urd family.

Originally, there was only one Sun Castle, where Earl Urd and his family lived. Later, Sun Castle was severely destroyed during a rebellion. Although Earl Urd regained his territory with the help of the barbarians, he did not rebuild Sun Castle. Instead, he made a desperate move and used all the money he could raise to build Sun City to provide a place for trade among the tribes.

The annual harvest festival has greatly increased the popularity of Sun City. The gathering of large markets and caravans has made this city the trade center of the entire Harmutu Basin.

Count Urd naturally made a fortune from it.

So the earl, who was good at building relationships, spent a huge amount of money to build the Sunday Manor in the center of the city, and invited big businessmen, tribal leaders and noble lords to the manor to have fun whenever he had nothing to do.

When everyone has a good time, business is easier to do, and Count Urd's wealth naturally accumulates.

However, the Earl, who had been betrayed before, did not trust humans very much, and he recruited a large number of barbarian soldiers in his territory's army. Therefore, most of the Sun City troops who went out of the city to welcome the delegation were non-human, and the general who led the team and followed Earl Urd was an orc.

Luke put on a full body armor specially made for the Governor of Raging Waves City, and accompanied Agatha, who was wearing golden armor, to the front of the delegation surrounded by the royal knights.

Behind them was the elite Western Frontier Corps of the Empire, well-armored and with banners flying. The soldiers did not look depressed under the scorching sun, but held their heads high, showing the momentum of a victorious army.

Being able to maintain such morale even wearing full armor in the desert, Count Urd immediately felt the gap between his army and the elite of the empire.

Regardless of their combat effectiveness, the Sun City army could not have all its members in armor. Moreover, because there were a large number of barbarian soldiers, the ranks were not evenly aligned, and they were loose and sloppy, like a mob.

"When did the Empire's army become so strong?"
