541: Chapter 542 Discovery of the World Tree in Another World, Dead Trees Reborn Require Yi Wood

The Continent of Erathia, the Forest of Elves.

This is the most mysterious and ancient place on the entire continent. Towering giant trees blot out the sun, and the air is filled with the fresh fragrance of vegetation.

However, today's Forest of Elves was shrouded in a blanket of sorrow.

In the deepest part of the forest grew an unimaginably massive ancient tree. Its trunk was so thick it would take hundreds of people joining hands to encircle it, and its canopy soared into the clouds as if propping up the heavens.

This was the legendary World Tree, the source of life for the Elven race and the balancing point for the magic elements of the entire Continent of Erathia.

But now, this great ancient tree was withering.

The once emerald leaves had turned a withered yellow, the massive bark was beginning to peel off, and even dry cracks had appeared on the trunk.

The Elven Queen, Elena—a woman of peerless beauty but whose face was now etched with worry—was kneeling beneath the World Tree, praying devoutly.

“Great Mother Tree, please do not abandon your people...”

Behind her stood dozens of Elven Elders, each sighing in despair.

The withering of the World Tree meant that the Elves' magic power would gradually dry up, and the entire race would eventually face extinction.

“Your Majesty, the Divine Envoy has arrived!”

An Elven guard rushed over to report.

A glimmer of hope flashed in Elena's eyes as she hurriedly rose.

“Quick! Please, bring him in!”

A moment later, Chen Lu, dressed in white robes and radiating a Holy Light effect, walked in slowly, flanked by several Cardinals.

He looked at the massive withered tree before him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

“What a huge tree... if I cut it down for furniture, I wonder how many sets I could make?”

Of course, he could only think such things in his head.

On the surface, he maintained the appearance of a compassionate, divine figure.

“Your Majesty, I sense the Mother Tree's sorrow.”

Chen Lu walked up to Elena and gave a slight nod.

“Divine Envoy, please save the Mother Tree!”

Elena, as if grasping at a final straw, knelt directly. “As long as the Mother Tree can be saved, the Elven race is willing to pay any price!”

Chen Lu's heart stirred.

Any price?

Does that include the rare herbs in this forest, the magic Ores, and... the Elven beauties?

Cough, cough, thinking too far ahead.

“Please rise, Queen.”

Chen Lu helped Elena up and said with a serious expression, “I have come precisely for this matter.”

He walked to the World Tree and reached out, pressing his palm against the dry bark.

“Taichu, scan.”

“Scanning... Target's vital signs are extremely weak, internal energy circulation is exhausted, and the core life essence is severely depleted.”

“Cause analysis: The concentration of magic elements in this plane has dropped (caused by large-scale extraction by Chen Lu and Mo Chen), leading to the World Tree's malnutrition.”

“Treatment plan: Inject high-purity wood-attribute life energy to activate its core and guide its self-repair.”

Chen Lu nodded, understanding the situation.

“This tree is just starving.”

He called out to his main body on the quantum channel.

“Main body, main body, calling main body. There's a big tree here about to die, urgent need for wood-attribute energy support!”

Earth, the Forbidden City.

Lu Chen was teasing a parrot in the Imperial Garden when he received the message, raising an eyebrow.

“World Tree? That’s good stuff!”

“If we can revive it, that’ll be our Great Ming’s 'Interstellar Afforestation Project' headquarters!”

“Granted!”

Lu Chen set down the birdcage and formed a hand seal.

“Yimu Azure Dragon, heed my command!”

Within his body, the green halo representing the Law of Wood suddenly lit up.

The phantom of an Azure Dragon, condensed from pure wood-attribute Spiritual Qi, surged out from his crown with a clear, resonant dragon roar.

“Go!”

Lu Chen pointed his finger, and the Azure Dragon phantom turned into a streak of light, diving into the quantum transmission channel.

...

The Forest of Elves.

Chen Lu's palm was still pressed against the trunk, his eyes closed in concentration.

Suddenly, a life aura so massive it was suffocating erupted from his body!

“Roar—!!!”

A dragon's roar echoed through the entire forest.

A green light dragon followed Chen Lu's arm and bored into the World Tree's body.

“What... what power is this?”

Elena and the Elven Elders were stunned.

This power was purer and more powerful than any natural magic they had ever seen!

It was the Origin of life! The Law of all growth!

As the Azure Dragon entered its body, a miracle occurred.

The once-withered World Tree shuddered violently.

The cracked bark began to heal, the yellowed leaves turned green again, and even new buds began to sprout from the branches.

A visible green ripple centered on the World Tree spread out in all directions.

Wherever it passed, withered grass met spring and a hundred flowers bloomed.

The entire Forest of Elves seemed to come alive in that single instant!

“A miracle! This is a miracle!”

The Elves were so moved they wept, kneeling on the ground and prostrating themselves before Chen Lu.

“Praise the Divine Envoy! Praise the Father God!”

Chen Lu withdrew his hand and nodded with satisfaction as he looked at the giant tree that had regained its vitality.

“It seems this Yimu Law is quite useful.”

He turned around to look at the kneeling Elves, his face wearing that signature holy smile.

“The Mother Tree has been revived.”

“From this day forward, the Elven race shall be the people of God.”

“You must follow God's teachings (obey me) and offer God's sacrifices (hand over all the good stuff).”

Elena looked up, her eyes filled with fanatical adoration.

“As you command, Father God!”

“The entire Elven race is willing to die for you!”

Chen Lu was secretly delighted.

This was great; not only did he get a World Tree for nothing, but he also gained a group of free laborers and thugs.

This deal was worth it!
