Back at the villa, Chen Ping manipulated the flying carpet to descend, then threw 10 water-type slimes down.

Instantly, ten water-type blue slimes appeared on the ground, constantly bouncing around.

Then Chen Ping discovered that these water-type slimes, after hopping around, all ended up in that small patch of green field, which was the only grassy area where some spiritual plants were grown.

For example, apple trees, silver cherry trees, and water spirit fruit trees are all planted there.

Fortunately, the slimes didn't bump into the fruits; instead, they lay quietly on the grass, motionless, seemingly resting.

Chen Ping planned to use the single-player dungeon ticket, but apart from the slimes, everything else on the island was sleeping in. It seemed he would have to summon the Forest Clan.

Chen Ping flew towards the World Tree with a smug grin.

After arriving near the World Tree, Chen Ping stopped and looked around: "We're close enough to the World Tree, let's summon it here."

After saying that, he used the Forest Clan Contract Scroll. Instantly, the scroll floated in front of him and formed a huge light gate, a huge light gate hundreds of meters high.

Oh~

Chen Ping stared in shock at the portal before him. Were all the people of the forest tribe giants?

Then a figure passed through the portal and appeared in front of Chen Ping.

(⊙o⊙)…

"Are you the one who summoned our clan?"

Chen Ping looked at the little deer-like person in front of him, nodded, and then curiously looked her up and down.

Its upper body was humanoid, but its lower body looked like a deer, which was a pity Chen Ping didn't recognize.

"Well, you should know that our clan only guards the area around the Tree of Life, but this place looks a bit too desolate, doesn't it?"

She was carrying the World Tree on her back, so she didn't see the enormous World Tree behind her.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping asked with some confusion, "Huh? That's not right, aren't you also guardians of the World Tree?"

Upon hearing this, the Deer Woman withdrew her gaze from surveying the surroundings, looked down at Chen Ping, and smiled, "That's right, well, it's more accurate to say that our clan protects the Tree of Life precisely because it was born from the remains of the World Tree. Otherwise, we wouldn't bother with the Tree of Life."

"Unfortunately, there are relatively few World Trees now. As far as I know, there are only four World Trees left, each in the hands of a powerful god."

"Our race has no way of contacting them, let alone protecting them. So we can only choose to protect the Tree of Life that was born from the remains of the World Tree. But we only protect those Trees of Life that were born from the main trunk. We don't protect the other Trees of Life."

"So, where is your Tree of Life? Take me there to see it."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping smiled and said, "No rush, I still have some questions."

Deer Girl: "Oh, go ahead and ask."

Chen Ping: "Why do you forest tribes only protect the World Tree? Judging from your name, shouldn't you be protecting the forest?"

Deer Woman: "The responsibility of protecting the forest is borne by the Forest Guardians, who are a branch off from our side, and their main members are the Tree People."

"As for why we only protect the World Tree, it's because our forest race was originally called the World Tree Race."

Chen Ping: "World Tree Clan? What do you mean? Did you originate from the World Tree?"

Deer Woman: "Hey, we really were born from the World Tree, at least the first generation. It's said that they were born from the World Tree, so our race is incredibly diverse."

"Hmm, there are probably several hundred different races, isn't that amazing!"

Chen Ping nodded, then asked, "Since the Forest Guardians branched off from you, how many races do you still have now?"

Deer Woman: "Uh, well, now on the ancestral land, only a dozen or so races are still persisting. Most races have split off. Sigh."

"But we don't blame them. After all, the world power within the ancestral land is decreasing, and we understand that they want to find another way out."

"After all, the races that leave our clan are now very popular, because of the power of the world, so many powerful gods will accept them."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping asked with some confusion, "Hmm? Aren't there any races that can go out and live independently? Why do they have to be accepted by others? No, Sister Li."

Deer Girl: "Hmm? Don't you know? Private territory is very hard to obtain. Survival games are very difficult. You can't expect it to give up even a little bit of private territory. There's no way you can."

"Therefore, private land is extremely rare. The places where most races live now are actually places used for survival games."

Chen Ping: "That's good too. Survival games won't kick people out, right? They won't charge rent, will they?"

The deer girl replied with a grin, "That's right, you have to pay rent. The more energy a place has, the more expensive the rent is, hehe, just kidding."

"In fact, most races do not live on private land, but they have lived there for thousands of years and are still doing well."

Chen Ping: "Then why would your world race choose to depend on others?"

Deer Girl: "Hmm, because it's my private territory."

Chen Ping: “…”

Deer Girl: "Hehe, aren't you confused?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping immediately nodded.

The deer woman continued with a smile: "Actually, for safety reasons, no disasters will occur in private territory. For example, if an earthquake occurs in a region, a private territory, even if it is in the epicenter, will not be affected at all."
