"Hahaha! At last! We've finally opened the gate to the Divine Realm!" Mabel Ames Xiao burst into wild laughter. "Son! We're finally going to become immortals!"
Kieran Xiao was equally excited, maneuvering his electric wheelchair. "Let's go together," he said.
"Alright." Mabel pointed her weapon at Lily Bai. "Move!"
They had to bring Lily Bai along.
Because the Eternal Wishfish had warned them that this array would only stay activated for a short time.
Once they crossed over, they'd have to reactivate it if they wanted to come back.
"Are you really not taking Evan Lan?" Lily Bai asked.
"Go!" Mabel gave her a shove, pushing her onto the array.
At the same time, Kieran Xiao entered the array as well.
A flash of white light, and the scenery before their eyes changed in an instant.
Honestly, Lily Bai thought the Divine Races had all vanished and the Divine Realm was long dead.
But the world before her eyes was nothing like the barren wasteland she’d imagined.
Green mountains, clear waters, and abundant spiritual energy.
Of course, it couldn’t compare to ancient times, but it was still countless times richer than Earth.
Scattered near and far, she could see a number of First Spirit Trees.
There were also all sorts of ancient plants that only existed in primordial times.
Lily Bai released her Divine Sense. This flourishing region wasn’t actually that large—just a few hundred kilometers across.
Farther out, the land was already turning barren.
Even farther, everything was gray and lifeless—not a blade of grass in sight...
...
Mabel and Kieran could sense the spiritual energy too!
Mabel let go of Lily Bai and took deep breaths, looking utterly blissful.
"Wow! This is the Divine Realm! This is the new world!" Mabel was thrilled. "Son! Can you feel it? Breathing this air, it’s like all the turbid qi in your body gets flushed out!"
Kieran nodded. "Definitely! I’ve never breathed air this fresh in my life..."
"Hahaha! Amazing! We really made it to the Divine Realm! Incredible! We’re going to become immortals! We’re actually going to become immortals!" Mabel ran back and forth, deliriously happy.
Kieran glanced around, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
Lily Bai stroked her chin, watching them. She thought to herself, if Mabel would just calm down a bit... maybe she’d live a little longer.
But Mabel was way too hyped, darting here and there, touching everything, spinning in circles with joy...
Lily Bai shook her head and turned to look at the teleportation array.
The array’s glow had already faded.
She took out the four Spell Stones and tucked them into her pocket.
Then she walked toward a massive, dead Elder Spirit Tree nearby.
The ancestors of the Demon Spirits had once visited Elderworld.
They even left behind ancient texts describing what Elderworld looked like.
Back then, Elderworld was split into four regions: Dragon Abyss, Southern Realm, Lumina Realm, and the shattered Elderworld.
It matched almost exactly with the records in the ancient book Evan Lan had given her.
There was only one difference: Evan’s book said that after the demons were driven back to the Demon Realm, a new Divine Realm was born.
The Elderworld later connected with the New Divine Realm and was restored by Primordial Lotus Energy. After tens of thousands of years, life returned once more.
This place seemed to be Elderworld.
Because she saw the Elder Spirit Tree.
So much time had passed, but the Ancestral Tree still stood, looking exactly like the pictures in the ancient texts.
It was huge!
Lily Bai walked up to the tree, running her fingers over its bark. "I can't believe I actually get to touch the Ancestral Tree! They say weapons made from its wood are the strongest in the world... Should I try to snag a piece?"
