At Chen Ping's residence, breakfast time was filled with laughter. Licia, Ao Yunyu, Ai Li, Ai Laiyi, and Yi Mo'er enjoyed the delicious food while also appreciating the warmth and friendship between them, adding a touch of brightness to the morning.
Meanwhile, Linafil led the Huanglong patriarch and his people deep into the heart of the divine island. As they ventured deeper, the magnificent World Tree gradually came into view. The grandeur of the World Tree far exceeded the Huanglong people's imagination; its towering form, covered with emerald green leaves, seemed like a bridge connecting heaven and earth, leaving everyone in awe.
The Huanglong patriarch stared at the World Tree in the distance, his eyes flashing with disbelief. He turned to Linafil, his tone tinged with surprise: "That enormous tree, could it be the legendary World Tree?"
Lina chuckled softly, confirming the old patriarch's guess: "Indeed, the old patriarch is very knowledgeable and recognized the World Tree at a glance. In the Heart of the Divine Island, this tree is our guardian tree."
The members of the Huanglong Clan all looked on in amazement; most of them were seeing a World Tree of such scale for the first time. While World Trees existed in the core sea area, none were nearly as large as this, hence their immense curiosity and awe towards it.
The old patriarch Huanglong nodded thoughtfully, his words filled with undisguised shock: "Such a tall and vibrant World Tree is truly the first time I have ever seen one. The power contained within such a being is probably no less than that of any peak Creator God. It is truly breathtaking."
After a pause, Elder Huanglong asked Linafil, "Miss Linafil, could you show us the World Tree up close?"
Upon hearing this, Linafeier paused for a moment, then nodded slightly and smiled, "Of course, that's no problem. Please follow me."
After saying that, he took the lead and walked forward, leading the Huanglong people toward the World Tree. Every step he took was on the soft grass, as if every step was full of ritual.
Soon, Linafil brought Elder Huanglong and the others to a platform. After opening a portal, she explained, "Elder, this place is quite far from the World Tree. If we walk, it will take at least one or two days. So we need to go through the portal, which is more convenient and faster."
Upon hearing this, the old patriarch of the Huanglong clan nodded in understanding, and then followed Linafiel into the teleportation portal. The Huanglong clan members behind him followed one after another, with Lushu being the last to enter.
The team this time consisted of only four people: Linafil, Gabriel, Deer Tree, and Anlula.
Linafil serves as the guide, Gabriel is the strong one and just needs to follow along, while Deer Tree and Anlula are there to explain things to the forty-odd Bamboo Dragon Clan members.
After passing through the portal, the group arrived at a teleportation platform only a hundred meters away from the World Tree. These platforms had actually been built a long time ago to entertain guests.
While teleportation portals can be opened anytime and anywhere on the island, it's not very elegant, especially when there are guests. That's why these teleportation platforms were created, but so far, this is their first time using them.
The patriarch of the Huanglong clan gazed up at the majestic World Tree before him, a profound and indescribable awe washing over him. The World Tree's boundless vitality permeated the surroundings as if it were a tangible force, inspiring awe in all who beheld it.
He sighed inwardly, feeling more directly from up close that this World Tree truly possessed the vitality of a creator god at its peak.
Even if it has not yet reached its peak in terms of offensive capabilities, with this vitality, even the full-force attack of a peak creator god would find it difficult to shake its foundation. Unless it is a super technique that can kill in one blow, the World Tree will stand firm and continue to protect this land.
An existence of this caliber is a treasure worthy of respect and protection for the Huanglong Clan and indeed for any race. A profound light gleamed in the old patriarch's eyes. He suddenly realized that the pinnacle of the Divine Island's combat power might not just be Gabriel alone; the World Tree was also a part of it.
The existence of the World Tree provides a sanctuary for all living beings within the Heart of the Divine Island.
......
While Linafil was leading the Huanglong people to visit the World Tree, at the villa, Licia and Ao Yunyu had finished breakfast and were now discussing where to take Ao Yunyu to play.
As Chen Ping emerged from the kitchen, he witnessed Licia enthusiastically leading Ao Yunyu, Aili, and even calling out to Ailai and Yimoer, preparing to head towards the amusement park. In a moment of urgency, he rushed forward and, almost reflexively, gently picked up Licia, Ao Yunyu, and Aili one by one, as if engaging in some impromptu "interception" game.
This series of fluid movements not only elicited gasps of surprise from the three little girls, but also caused Ailai and Yimo'er behind them to widen their eyes in bewilderment.
While holding the three little ones steadily, Chen Ping explained in a relaxed tone, "Haha, it seems everyone is eager to start today's adventure. However, Lycia, we need to see an important person first."
"That's the old patriarch of the Huanglong clan. He's a family member of Ao Yunyu. They've come from afar, so we should go and greet them first, right? After that, I promise we'll go to the amusement park and have a blast, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Lycia was taken aback for a moment, then nodded in understanding. Although she felt a little regretful, she still felt it was worthwhile because she could help her new friend Ao Yunyu.
But Ao Yunyu's face was full of shock. What? The old clan leader is here? When was she discovered? She had been so careful, she had managed to evade the spies' detection!
Chen Ping carefully placed them back on the ground and gently said to Ailai and Yimoer, "Ailai, Yimoer, would you like to go and see the old man together?"
Upon hearing this, Ailai and Yimoer exchanged glances and then nodded. They were indeed quite curious about Ao Yunyu's people, mainly wanting to see if they all had horns.
Seeing that Ai Laiyi and Yi Moer both nodded, Chen Ping smiled and said, "Alright, let's go and meet Ao Yunyu's family together."
Lycia: "Hmm, Lycia is also quite curious whether Ao Yunyu's other family members also have horns..."
Ao Yunyu looked at Chen Ping with a blank expression. What about me? Why didn't you ask me? Ao Yunyu's face immediately fell, and her unhappiness was clearly visible.
