80: Chapter 80 Alliance Formed? Second Daughter's Birth Imminent

Three days after the maple coin went online, Luofeng Village became even hotter.

The trade route was full of carriages.

The dungeon entrance was full of people.

In the world channel, nine out of ten messages were about Luofeng Village.

But today, the first thing to explode wasn't the players.

It was the rules.

Hum—

Just as Lin Zhe opened his eyes, a layer of pale golden light patterns rippled across the dirt slope beneath his feet.

It wasn't an external enemy.

It wasn't a disturbance.

It was four familiar yet massive auras approaching Luofeng Village simultaneously.

Human Empire.

Dragon Race.

Heaven Realm.

Elf Race.

Lin Chen raised his little face and laughed in a milky voice.

"Daddy, they're here to give us things again."

Lin Zhe's gaze was calm.

"This time, it's not just about giving things."

"They are here to pick a side."

Less than a quarter of an hour later, rows of teleportation lights lit up on the eastern official road.

Minister of Rites Wang Su was the first to step out of the carriage.

He lowered his posture even further this time, bowing before even speaking.

"By the order of the Queen, the Human Empire wishes to form a permanent alliance with Luofeng Village."

He raised his hand and unrolled a scroll of crimson gold contract.

"Starting from today, all registered players in Luofeng Village, Fengyu Village, and Shiti Village may use the teleportation arrays in all major cities of the Human Empire for free."

"No fees, no queuing, effective permanently."

The surrounding players were stunned at first.

The next second, they exploded.

"Free teleportation to all major cities?"

"Holy crap! How much money does this save?!"

"Doesn't this mean we can walk sideways in the Human Empire maps from now on?"

Lin Chen blinked, clapping his little hands.

"This is good, accept it."

The contract flashed with golden light and was bound immediately.

Just as Wang Su stepped back, a low dragon roar came from the northern sky.

Two silver-winged sub-dragons landed.

The leading Dragon Race envoy held a dragon-patterned token in both hands and knelt on one knee.

"By the order of the Dragon Domain, the Dragon Race wishes to form a permanent alliance with Luofeng Village."

"Starting today, Falling Maple players can activate an exclusive exchange channel for dragon crystals."

"As long as you hold a Falling Maple identity mark, you can have priority to exchange for dragon crystals and dragon-type materials in the Dragon Domain."

The players' eyes turned red with envy.

"Exclusive dragon crystal channel!"

"We couldn't even snatch those things before!"

"Isn't this opening a private door to the Dragon Domain's resources?"

Lin Zhe glanced at the dragon-patterned token and nodded faintly.

The Dragon Race envoy immediately breathed a sigh of relief and presented the token.

Immediately after, a white light shone in the sky.

The Heaven Realm envoy this time was a white-robed High Priest.

He didn't dare to put on airs again, bowing immediately upon landing.

"The Heaven Realm wishes to form a permanent alliance with Luofeng Village."

"From now on, Falling Maple players can exchange for Light Blessing permissions in the Heaven Realm."

"Purification, resistance, healing buffs, and temporary Holy Light protection are all available."

The world channel was instantly flooded.

"We can even exchange for Light buffs?"

"It'll be even more satisfying to fight poison monsters and dark monsters in the future!"

"What kind of god-like life are Falling Maple players living?!"

Lin Chen tightened his little face.

"Don't raise prices arbitrarily."

The High Priest immediately lowered his head.

"We will follow the rules of Falling Maple."

The last to arrive was the Elf Race.

Not an ordinary envoy.

The Great Elder led the team himself.

Behind him followed a whole line of moon-vine carriages, stacked with gleaming herbs, nature crystals, and elf scrolls.

But what truly silenced the whole scene was the emerald scepter in his hand.

The Great Elder walked up to Lin Zhe and bowed deeply.

"Today, the Elf Race is not just here to form an alliance."

"We are also here to vindicate Mr. Lin."

He raised his scepter and struck it against the ground.

Boom!

A large swath of Natural Divine Power spread directly across the dirt slope.

A crown of light, woven from ancient vines and moon leaves, slowly condensed above Lin Zhe's head.

[Honorary High Priest of the Elf Race]

Six large green characters hung in mid-air.

The Great Elder spoke in a deep voice.

"From this day on, Lin Zhe is the Honorary High Priest of the Elf Race."

"Those who see this identity shall treat him as an honored guest of the Elf Royal Court."

"The entire Elf Race shall treat him with the utmost courtesy."

The whole scene was silent for a moment.

Then, the players absolutely exploded.

"Honorary High Priest?!"

"Big Shot Lin even has an official position in the Elf Race now?"

"Is this still an NPC? He's practically becoming a VIP of the continent!"

Ling Xi stood nearby, her eyes shining brilliantly.

Lin Zhe just calmly raised his hand and accepted the crown of light.

System notifications rang out frantically.

[Ding! Four-party permanent alliance established!]

[Ding! Falling Maple player rights expanded to the entire continent!]

[Ding! Host's Power of Rules continues to increase!]

Almost simultaneously, the entire Luofeng Village trembled.

It wasn't an earthquake.

It was because the Natural Divine Power was too dense.

The maple trees at the village entrance, the vines on the trade route, the herb fields, the Red Maple Forest, the Moonlight Grass Slope... all plant surfaces began to glow with a faint golden light.

Looking from afar, the entire Novice Area seemed to be immersed in a golden-green mist.

The players looked up in unison.

"Look at the trees!"

"The grass is glowing too!"

"This is too exaggerated!"

Before Lin Zhe's eyes, Lin Yueyao's panel was jumping frantically.

[Current gestation progress: 91%]

[92%]

[93%]

Ling Xi suddenly covered her heart, her breathing slightly rapid.

"She... is coming soon."

The next second.

Hum—

A denser ripple of natural power surged out from the dirt slope as the center.

[Current gestation progress: 95%]

It's here!

Lin Chen stood up at once, his little face glowing.

"Little sister is at 95%!"

Boom!

As the progress hit 95%, the layer of natural golden mist above Luofeng Village sank suddenly.

The underlying rule panels of the three Novice Areas actually flickered in and out of existence at this moment.

Monster respawning.

Herb growth.

Dungeon access.

Teleportation nodes.

Trading order.

Lines of rule patterns were converging towards Lin Zhe's feet.

As if in submission.

Although the surrounding players couldn't understand the underlying rules, they could see the changes.

The teleportation signs on the trade route lit up automatically.

The light gate at the secret realm entrance became more stable.

Even the tree spirits patrolling the border had more synchronized movements.

Xing Jianwan whispered, "The entire Novice Area is leaning towards you."

Lin Zhe didn't speak.

But he could feel it.

It wasn't an illusion.

It was the most fundamental rules of this area, truly bowing to him.

The world channel had gone crazy long ago.

"The entire Luofeng Village is glowing!"

"The Natural Divine Power is visible to the naked eye, and she hasn't even been born yet?"

"Who in the whole continent can't see Luofeng Village now!"

"The second daughter is definitely coming!"

On the distant official roads, major cities, secret realms, the edge of the Dragon Domain, and the Heaven Realm teleportation platforms, more and more gazes were cast this way.

Everyone knew.

That small Novice Area was about to have another major event.

On the dirt slope, the envoys from the four parties hadn't retreated yet.

The players were still reveling.

The natural golden light was still spreading.

And the aura in Ling Xi's womb was already too strong to be suppressed.

Lin Zhe looked up at the sky covered by golden-green mist.

At the very top of the system panel, the progress bar was slightly hot at 95%.

The next moment, the first moonlight grass at the village entrance suddenly trembled without wind.
