Let them live with that regret for the rest of their lives!

As the arm was completely pulled into Nora's body, the huge, horrific wound began to heal, and even the blood began to flow back. In the blink of an eye, Nora returned to her original appearance.

"Let me think... no, where is the rest of my body?"

……

Void City, Central District.

It took Elise three days to finally arrive here.

The central area is a huge square, and not far away are World Tree seedlings that resemble city walls.

In the center of the square, a figure dressed in a white robe stood there.

Upon arriving at the central area, Fa Zhou did not introduce the situation to everyone as he had done before. Instead, he slowly floated to the side of the white-robed man and said, "I'm back, Father."

"Isn't she a magical creation?" Elena asked, somewhat surprised.

"She is indeed a magical creation, and also the embodiment of a father's emotions," Elise said calmly, looking at the man in white.

As the two were speaking, the white-robed figure, who had been like a statue, moved. He slowly raised his head, revealing a skull burning with the flames of his soul.

"Welcome to...Shan...Void Spirit City." The dry, harsh voice of the ball (sounding five times) was clearly not a common word, but it was still easy to understand what he wanted to express.

“We’re already here, isn’t this welcome a little late?” Elise said with a smile.

"There's nothing I can do, my old bones are decaying and I can't welcome you right away. But I'm curious, this is your first time here, so why do you seem so familiar with this place?"

"How can you be so sure this is my first time here?" Elise said as she took out a table and chairs, set them out, and then placed delicate desserts and tea sets on them.

Although the others didn't know why Elise was doing this, they had already come this far, and this old man was clearly no ordinary person, so they all sat down beside her.

The white-robed skeleton didn't stand on ceremony. He pulled out a chair and sat down. His cracked finger bones picked up a biscuit and put it in his mouth. Crumbs of the biscuit fell from the gaps in his bones.

"It's been so long since I've eaten anything, it's a pity I can't even taste what it's like anymore," the old man said with regret.

"There's nothing I can do to help you with that."

"It's alright. Being able to recall some things from the past is already quite good for me." The old man picked up his teacup and took another sip.

Although his robes were decaying and tea dripped from the cracks in his bones, everyone still felt an elegance emanating from these old bones.

After pouring all the tea over, the old man continued, "You've come for the World Tree sapling, haven't you?"

"Um, can I have it?"

"Okay, but I have a condition."

"You can rest assured that your daughter is in my care. I will take good care of her."

The old man, who was about to state his conditions, fell silent. How could the other party know what he was going to say without him even saying anything?

And why does this sound a little strange?

"Alright, stop worrying about it. This place won't last long. Quickly hand over your daughter's core."

Just as Old Bones took out the core and was about to explain the precautions, Elise's voice rang out again: "I know what to pay attention to, so don't worry."

Seeing the old man fall silent again, Elise finally couldn't help but let out a crisp laugh.

This feeling is like skipping dialogue in a game. Although it doesn't seem like much when playing the game, it has a very interesting sense of déjà vu in reality.

"One last time, do you want to come out with me?"

"No." The old man shook his head. He didn't even ask how much time had passed or what had happened outside, which meant he wasn't going to leave.

"Aren't you really going to reconsider? You don't want your daughter to end up like me, do you?"

Eve and her two companions couldn't help but twitch their lips. Was it really okay to say that? This old man didn't look like someone to mess with. They hoped he wouldn't cause any trouble at the last minute.

Even the old man was speechless at Elise's words. The fire of his soul flickered in his eyes, sometimes burning brightly and sometimes dimming, as if he was seriously considering whether handing his daughter over to her was the right choice.

Volume 1: Chapter 314 You Can Do Whatever You Want

"You...you don't even spare magical creations?"

"What are magical creations? I don't even spare insects," Elise muttered to herself.

After a moment of silence, the old man continued in a dry voice, "You don't need to persuade me anymore. I should have died in that catastrophe, but I didn't want her to perish with this city."

"What if I said I knew where Brindel's descendants were?"

"Then I'll have to ask you to take care of it. Consider it payment for not stopping you from taking the World Tree sapling."

In the game, the dream of taking the World Tree sapling from here was actually to fight the old skeleton spirit. However, after Elise transmigrated, she found that the old skeleton was actually very easy to talk to. She could take the World Tree sapling by just chatting with him.

It's a pity that this old man is so stubborn. She has been through so many near-death experiences and has come here countless times. Every time she comes, she tries to persuade him, but he is just too stubborn. No matter how she tries to persuade him, it's no use. If she tries to take him away by force, he will even self-destruct.

Although this old man only had the strength of the seventh rank, as one of the Seven Luminaries Mages of Brindel, he had once been as strong as the ninth rank and was also very knowledgeable. It felt like such a pity to be buried with the Void City like this.

"Stop trying to persuade us. If you keep trying, the Void Storm will appear. If you want to get out of here alive, take the World Tree and leave now."

"Tsk."

Elise pursed her lips. She knew she couldn't dawdle any longer, so she could only stand up and say, "I'll help take care of Brindel's descendants, depending on the situation."

After saying that, she went straight to the World Tree.

Fa Zhou's phantom did not follow, but remained in place looking at the old bone.

"Go, go see the world."

The smile on Fa Zhou's face had vanished. As a magical creation, she should have obeyed orders and left at this moment, but instead, a strange emotion arose within her, an emotion she had never felt before.

But she didn't know how to express it.

Finally, after being persuaded by the old bones, Fa Zhou slowly floated to Elise's side, took one last reluctant look at the old bones, and then disappeared into Elise's spatial ring.

Her core is inside the spatial ring.

After Fa Zhou disappeared, the old bones also let out a harsh and unpleasant laugh, the sound revealing a hint of relief.

Elise sighed softly, then said to Sally, "When I tell you to teleport, don't hesitate, okay?"

“Yes.” Sally nodded seriously, her eyes serious and nervous.

Without further hesitation, Elise placed her hand on the trunk of the World Tree. At that moment, she could clearly feel the vibrant life force of the World Tree sapling, which was in stark contrast to the World Tree in the Forest of Sanctuary.

Eve and the other two elves standing to the side also had fervent eyes.

Under Elise's control, the World Tree sapling began to shrink, and the thick roots that connected the city fragments were also retracted, with only a small portion remaining on the original city fragment.

Without the protection of the World Tree, the shattered Void City began to perish. The once towering World Tree was reduced to a sapling in the blink of an eye, held in Elise's hands.

The World Tree cannot be contained within a spatial ring, so after collecting the World Tree sapling, Elizabeth gave Sally a wink without hesitation, and Sally immediately activated the teleportation.

Normally, using spatial magic in the void would be greatly interfered with, but thanks to the protection of the World Tree, Sally's spatial teleportation accurately brought everyone back to the original city fragments, before that spatial rift.

As the group passed through the spatial rift and left, the place was quickly annihilated by the void.

Old Bones remained seated in his chair, holding a teacup and gazing in the direction Elise and the others had left, a hint of longing flickering in the soul fire of his eyes.

He longed to leave, but he simply ran out of time.

The soul fire within his skull had already been extinguished before the void engulfed him.

……

"came back."

Elise and the others, having passed through the spatial rift, returned to the snow-covered mountaintop.

Shortly after they left, the spatial rift behind them became unstable and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

The elves who had been guarding the area breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the group return safely, and then their attention was drawn to the World Tree sapling.

Even Elise felt a chill run down her spine under the fervent gazes of these elves. She coughed twice and said to Eve, "Let's go back to camp first. I need to contact Lily."

Hearing Elise's words, Eve came back to her senses. Suppressing her excitement, she led her people down the mountain.

When Elise returned to the camp, the elves stationed there had already established communication, and she saw Lily's lovely face as soon as she entered the cabin.

However, Lily looked more haggard than before, but her mood seemed much higher than before.

"Judging from your expression, you probably already know the outcome, right?"

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

“It’s fraught with danger there, and words of thanks won’t be enough to satisfy me.”

"You can do whatever you want when the time comes, but first let me see the World Tree seedling."

"That's what you said."

For some reason, Lily felt like she had spoken too definitively, but since she had already said it, she didn't think much of it. At that moment, she was already completely absorbed in the World Tree sapling.

Seeing the sapling in Elise's hand, Lily's anxiety finally subsided. As long as that sapling existed, the Elven race could continue.

After staring at it for a while, Lily reluctantly looked away and said, "Next, shall we search for that pure land you mentioned?"

“That’s right. If we can’t find it in time, we have a backup plan. Vivian should have told you about it.”

"Okay, then I'll arrange for someone to build the teleportation array right now."

The teleportation array Lily mentioned was not an ordinary teleportation array, but an ancient, large-scale teleportation array capable of long-distance teleportation. It was discovered in an ancient ruin under the guidance of Elise.

After all, the location of the Forest of Sanctuary is not good, and the only way to avoid being discovered is to relocate it in this way.

Building a large teleportation array has virtually no drawbacks, except for its high cost. I don't know how Elise knew that such a thing existed in that ancient ruin.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you. As for the World Tree, is it alright if I leave it with you for now?"

Volume 1: Chapter 315 Have you gained weight recently?

What if I say there's a problem?

Lily's lovely smile seemed to take on a dangerous edge at this moment.

Elise's expression instantly turned aggrieved: "Waaah, you don't trust me, and I even went out of my way to give you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lily interrupted her directly: "Alright, alright, stop pretending. If you want it, then put it where you want it. Anyway, we're partners, so how could I not trust you?"

"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll go and rest now."

(Group warming and pulling seven) (/eight) ball, chess flow

"Okay, see you next time then."

After ending the communication, the elven elder standing beside Lily asked softly, "Chieftain, is it really alright for the World Tree to be in her hands?"

"If it weren't for her, would we have been able to find the World Tree sapling? And given what Ellie knows about us, if she had any designs on us, do you think the Forest of Sanctuary would still be peaceful now?"

"Of course, most importantly, she is the successor of the goddess of love, and she would never be a threat to us, so you can rest assured about that."

"Yes."

Lily rubbed her cheeks, forcibly suppressing the fatal pleasure, and left the room.

On the other side, Elise patted the World Tree on her hand with annoyance. The tree seemed to be very affectionate towards her, its roots wrapped around her hand and even showing a tendency to continue spreading to her body. If she didn't remind her, who knows where the roots would spread to.

Seeing Elise's actions, many of the elves watching from the sidelines had their eyes wide open.

"Stop looking. This is the World Tree. Even if it's just a sapling, I can't damage it with a single slap." Elise said as she manipulated the World Tree sapling, retracting its roots before handing it to the elven elder beside her.

Even an eighth-tier elven elder was flustered and somewhat overwhelmed when he saw the World Tree sapling thrown by Iris.

"Miss Elise, didn't you just say that the World Tree sapling should stay with you for now?"

"It's too tiring to carry this thing, and you guys are all like wolves and tigers, so I'll take care of it for you first."

Elise didn't want the World Tree to control the Elven race. After all, their cooperation was already very deep, and there was no need to use the World Tree's sapling to restrain them. She wanted this thing to prepare for entering the Cursed Fertile Land.

The World Tree's protection kept her safe from the curse in the Cursed Fertile Land. Without the World Tree's protection, she really wouldn't have dared to enter the Cursed Fertile Land with Theresa.

“You should all go and rest too,” Elise said to Sally and Elena.

"Then I'll head back to my room." Although Sally had managed to obtain the World Tree without major incident under Elise's guidance these past few days, it was still quite a shock for her.

Most importantly, after traversing the void, she discovered that she had gained a new understanding of spatial power, and now she needed to go back and digest it properly.

As for Elena, she went back to study the second-generation dragon crystal. Although the energy contained in it was similar to that of Fran's dragon crystal, the amount of knowledge she possessed was incomparable to that of Fran's dragon crystal.

Just as Elise returned to her treehouse, a knock soon sounded at the door. Elise glanced at it and saw a petite figure, reeking of blood, appear in the snowstorm.

It was her personal maid.

Upon seeing her young mistress, Misha ran towards Iris without hesitation. However, as she approached Iris, she seemed to remember something and stopped nervously.
