Elf: Hard work pays off, and I became Giovanni.

She then swayed twice like a willow in the wind and landed accurately in Lu Chen's arms from mid-air.

Her slender hands tightly embraced Lu Chen's neck, her breath softly escaping her lips: "I'm a little tired~"

"roar~"

In the sky.

When Charizard saw Lu Yao's appearance, its eyes widened in surprise.

It seems a little unbelievable.

Sister, didn't you just say I was careless?

That won't do!

"Take a break." Lu Chen could naturally tell that Lu Yao was faking it.

But no way.

Because she's the most powerful person now.

"Beedrill, let's take them and rest for a bit."

Lu Chen called out to the Beedrill that was training in the gravity field, and then carried Lu Yao all the way to the World Tree.

The two of them just quietly hugged each other.

After a while.

Lu Yao, who was breathing heavily against Lu Chen's neck, finally spoke in a muffled voice, "Are you leaving?"

"……Um."

Lu Chen paused for a moment, then slowly nodded.

"Let me hold you for two... no, three minutes before you leave."

"Three minutes isn't enough, thirty minutes is fine too."

"No, you have your own things to do, and I don't want to delay your business..." Lu Yao hugged Lu Chen's neck and took a deep breath.

Two minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Yao perked up, her long eyelashes curving as she said energetically, "Alright, Lu Chen's energy has been replenished!"

"Where did you learn all these words?!"

"Hehe, it's on the tablet that the rhinoceros is looking at!"

"Um... don't get addicted to the internet too, there's no signal in the secret realm."

"It's just for fun. Besides, I've been cultivating under the World Tree while you're away, otherwise it would be too boring for so long."

"..."

Hearing Lu Yao's nonchalant words, Lu Chen said seriously, "I will resolve the matter outside as soon as possible, and you can go out whenever you want."

"Ok!"

The two said.

not far away.

Beedrill, along with Rhyhorn and Charizard, had finished packing Lu Chen's backpack.

They all stood still and waited for him.

"I am leaving."

"it is good."

Just as the two were saying goodbye.

Suddenly.

A burst of emerald light suddenly shone brightly!

"that is……"

Looking at the phantom that appeared at the top of the World Tree.

Lu Chen's pupils dilated.

Arceus!!!

So that means...

Another legend from a secret realm on Earth has awakened!?

The phantom image this time was similar to those before.

Arceus appeared only for a moment, his disdainful and indifferent gaze sweeping over the group.

After lingering on Lu Chen for a second.

Suddenly.

fleeting.

A gentle breeze rustled through the treetops.

It was as if nothing had ever been there.

“Ss ...

And it was in those short five or six seconds that...

On the branches of the World Tree.

Another crisp leaf has grown.

The leaf was delivered to Lu Chen through the space.

"This...is for me?!"

Lu Chen tried to calm himself down and reached out to pluck the leaf from his hand.

[Ding! The host has received a gift from the World Tree: a leaf from the World Tree]

The system prompt also sounded.

World Tree Leaves?

So they're really just going to take advantage of the World Tree?

Ignoring Lu Chen's inner turmoil.

Detailed information appears on the system panel.

World Tree Leaves: A reward for those watched over by the gods; legend says that whoever possesses them will receive protection from another world.

another world?

The protection of the elven world?

But wasn't the world of elves destroyed? How can it possibly find protection?

Lu Chen's face darkened before he could even say a word to Lu Yao.

The branches of the World Tree had already wrapped around him.

"In a hurry..."

Lu Yao noticed this and her expression changed, her mental energy erupting instantly.

She threw all the Beedrills, along with Lu Chen's backpack, at them from a distance.

call out!

Spatial rifts appear and disappear.

It only took two or three seconds...

The Peaceful Realm returned to its former tranquility.

Lu Yao looked at the empty space beneath the World Tree, a forlorn expression on her face.

He then transformed back into his nine-tailed form and lay down under the tree to cultivate.

……

"Depend on!"

"Uh oh——!"

They were forcibly teleported by the World Tree.

Lu Chen experienced motion sickness for the first time in a long time!

The rhinoceros with the horned horn accompanied him, squatting by the roadside and retching incessantly.

"roar~"

"Sizzling beer~"

"chant!"

The other two, Charizard and Shellder, were clearly still somewhat confused.

The Beedrill, which was the first to react, only paused for a moment before becoming wary of its surroundings again.

Without noticing any danger or having any premonition.

His gaze softened slightly and settled on Lu Chen.

"call--!"

"next time!"

"The next time I see Arceus, I must tell him to replace the World Tree!"

"Oh~"

The rhinoceros beside him nodded in agreement.

"Hiss~~"

At this time.
