The trip took only half a day, thanks to switching mounts.
When he saw the gigantic tree, Darian was stunned. "That aura…"
That tree carried a very strange aura, a mix of natural power and… primordial power. That kind of power could only exist in Primordial Beasts, which explained his shock.
Ailik and Zaowe bowed devoutly. The gigantic tree released a gentle light from its leaves, illuminating the entire surrounding forest.
A group of figures from the Nether Spirit Race approached. When they saw Darian, their expressions changed. Before they could say anything, the gigantic tree trembled slightly, and shock spread across all their faces.
Ailik started speaking quickly. "This is Darian. He—"
An elderly man stepped out of the crowd, interrupting her. "The divinity has ordered that this precious guest be brought inside."
He made an inviting gesture. Darian nodded and followed them.
