When Mike returned to Lilia, her gaze toward Mike had become very strange.

Lilia knew that Mike was strong. After all, she had witnessed the battle between Mike and the Ragnaros Cult members in Furnace City.

At that time, that scene had already shocked her.

However, now, the shock in her heart was even stronger than last time.

In any case, there had been a battle before. The reason why God Slayer could win was because he was powerful.

Though now?

There was no sound at all. Moreover, only a few seconds seemed to have passed.

Nevertheless, this temple was rapidly aging.

Obviously, this indicated the destruction of the temple.

So, Lilia could not imagine how this man actually did it.

How could a human adventurer have such powerful strength!

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Asked Mike as he could not stand Lilia's stare.

Hearing Mike's question, Lilia suddenly grabbed Mike's hands and answered,

"I'm certain that asking you to complete this task for me is definitely the best decision in my life."

"What do you mean?" Mike frowned, confused.

Meanwhile, Lilia turned around with a meaningful smile and hummed a song with light steps.

Although Mike had lived for a long time in his previous life, he practically had zero encounters with women.

Therefore, Lilia's current attitude was very baffling to Mike.

After muttering "Strange" in a low voice, he followed Lilia's footsteps.

They were now going to the outskirts of the city to hire a new carriage, and then head directly to the elven city's territory.

The entire process was relatively smooth, except for when the coachman asked for double the price.

After all, the destination was outside the border, so it was understandable to have such a request. Lilia did not say much and directly paid the money.

The group then set off on the road to the elven territory.

..

The divine realm.

An island that was completely covered in flames floated in the air.

With a roar that resounded through the sky, the flames on the island seemed to have been fueled with firewood, and a pillar of fire rose up into the sky.

At the same time, the surroundings of the island began to collapse continuously, and pieces of land fell off from the island.

In a very short period of time, the size of the entire island was reduced by 20%.

Gradually, the pillar of fire subsided. The island returned to its original appearance, but the parts that had disappeared did not recover.

In the center of the island, a huge figure with horns on his head was breathing heavily.

His entire body was covered in flames. His eyes seemed to want to burn everything.

Even the breath he exhaled was extremely hot, as if even the air was about to be burned into ashes.

His name was well-known by all the creatures in Second World.

His name was Ragnaros!

"My power has weakened once again! A large number of believers are continuously disappearing!

"This is obviously abnormal. Someone in the lower realm must have done something!"

Ragnaros narrowed his eyes and looked at the territory under his feet.

During this period of time, his Vulcan Island had been shrinking.

This indicated that the power of his believers was weakening.

If only a small number of believers had been lost, it would not have attracted Ragnaros's attention.

A year in the lower realm was only a short day for Ragnaros.

Sometimes, a war would break out in the lower realm, and countless people would die.

The gods were used to such situations.

However, this time, it seemed completely different from before.

The believers were disappearing at a high rate.

Even if a war broke out, it would never be like this.

Because, even if the races and countries were different, the people of the Ragnaros Cult would not kill each other.

This had always been a rule in the lower realm.

So, someone must be playing tricks!

"No matter who you are, no matter where you are...

"I will catch you!"

A towering pillar of fire rose from the Vulcan Island once again...

. .

On the other side.

The clear and melodious chirps of birds could be heard everywhere in the forest. The green grass was covered with brightly colored flowers. There were often butterflies stopping and sucking pollen in satisfaction.

This place was like a fairyland isolated from the world. It was completely different from the war outside.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of a green city.

"We're here. Let's get off."

With the driver's reminder, Mike and Lilia got off the carriage one after another.

The little tree spirit behind Mike's shoulder looked at the scene around them. Its eyes were wide open, and it could not help but sigh.

"This place looks like the Tree Spirit Village!"

"The Tree Spirit Village?" Lilia turned around to look at the cute little fellow curiously.

Even the peace-loving elves did not know of the Tree Spirit Village's existence. From this, it was evident how well hidden the Tree Spirit Village was.

"Alright, let's enter the city." Mike deliberately changed the topic. He was worried that the little tree spirit would accidentally spill the beans about the Tree Spirit Village. If this kind of thing was exposed, it would definitely be bad for the Tree Spirit Village.

Lilia was not a child after all. She saw that Mike did not want to talk about the Tree Spirit Village, so she stopped asking. Instead, she turned to look at the green city in front of her and introduced it.

"This is the Ancient Tree of Life. In terms of what you humans are used to calling it, it can also be called the City of Life."

Mike nodded slightly. Of course, he knew what this city was about.

Every city of the Elf race was actually formed by a huge ancient tree.

The Ancient Tree of Life in front of him was one of them.

Do not underestimate the fact that this city was a plant. When compared to the sturdiness of a human city, these 'trees' were much sturdier.

Other than the Ancient Tree of Life, the Elf race had two other main cities. They were the Ancient Tree of War and the Ancient Tree of Freedom.

That was right, even the peace-loving Elves had cities named after "war". From this, one could see how cruel Second World was.

Although Mike was well aware of this, little tree spirit Stone was very interested in it.

Thus, Lilia brought Mike and Stone into the city as she introduced the city to them.

Whether it was the NPCs or the players in the city, they were all very good-looking. This was also one of the Elves' characteristics.

They were mostly friendly, even the players.

Players who chose the Elves most likely did not want to fight others. They would likely choose to quietly level up and develop instead of fighting. Therefore, the atmosphere in the city was very friendly.

Stone immediately took a liking to this city. It leaned on Mike's shoulder and kept looking around curiously.

Soon, they arrived at the center of the ancient City of Life.

Unlike the structure of a human city, the center of an Elf city was the city lord's mansion.

Standing at the entrance, Lilia turned to look at Mike.

"Please come in. It's time to prove that you can forge what I'm looking for."
