By the time Gale returned to Nordrassil, Suramar Port had already reached a considerable scale.
Gale then paused the construction of the port and began to shift his focus to building the residential area.
The residential area was designated by Gale to be Shal'Aran, and the Elnes Ruins below Shal'Aran could be used to construct a sewer system.
To the south of Shal'Aran was the valley where the demon encampment was originally located.
Although the valley had also sunk to the bottom of the sea, a small portion of it remained on the beach.
This part of the valley had some Fel Energy flowing through it, constantly affecting the surrounding ecosystem.
Gale chose to repurpose it, using sturdy ceramics to build sewers that would discharge all generated waste into the ceramic tanks at the very bottom.
These ceramic tanks were filled with Fel Energy, which could melt all the domestic waste flushed down the sewers.
This way, it not only resolved the Fel Energy crisis on the beach but also addressed Nordrassil's pollution problem, killing two birds with one stone.
After the Fel Energy melted the domestic waste, it would increase in volume.
Therefore, Gale specially formed a team of Paladins to purify the excess Fel Energy.
At the same time, they also guarded the entrance to the Elnes Ruins to prevent anyone from breaking in.
The buildings in the residential area were stone structures in the Suramar style, possessing strong elven characteristics.
Gale merely planned out the areas, then let the Kaldorei build them themselves; as long as they didn't exceed the designated area, they could build however they wished.
As a result, the buildings in the residential area were diverse.
However, because the Kaldorei all possessed artistic talent, the houses, though seemingly haphazard, still carried a sense of beauty.
Just as the Kaldorei believed that life would gradually return to normal, a giant raven flew to Taiannuo.
It landed in front of Gale, transformed into a harpy, and hovered in the air.
"Gale, I need your help."
"Aviana?" Gale was astonished. "Didn't you go back to look after Ganil, the Mother Tree?"
Aviana: "I came to you precisely because of Ganil, the Mother Tree."
Gale was stunned. "What happened?"
Aviana explained to Gale that the Emerald Dream is a reflection of the real world and has a very close connection to it.
Ganil, the Mother Tree, is in the same location as the Well of Eternity, and much of its energy comes from the dissipated energy of the Well of Eternity.
The Burning Legion used the Well of Eternity to power their portal, cutting off all connections between the Well of Eternity and the outside world.
This action not only deprived the Kaldorei Mages of Arcane Energy supply but also caused Ganil, the Mother Tree, to lose its energy source.
Ganil, the Mother Tree's massive body consumed an enormous amount of energy.
Without the energy source from the Well of Eternity, Ganil, the Mother Tree, gradually withered.
However, a dying camel is still bigger than a horse; when Cenarius summoned the demigods, Ganil, the Mother Tree, could still sustain itself on its own energy.
But after the Well of Eternity exploded, Ganil, the Mother Tree's foundation was affected, and its own energy was insufficient to compensate for Ganil's consumption.
Over these past few months, Ganil, the Mother Tree, gradually withered, and its vitality faded.
If a solution isn't found soon, Ganil, the Mother Tree, will face death.
That's why Aviana urgently sought help from Gale.
Gale thought for a moment. "I don't have any ideas for now.
Have you asked the Green Dragon and Cenarius for help?"
Aviana nodded. "They've already rushed over."
"Then let's go too!"
Gale didn't refuse.
He entrusted the city-building matters to Maiev and Metri.
Then he summoned the Rainbow Bridge and teleported to Shaladrassil.
Aeon flew over. "Master, why have you come?"
"Ganil, the Mother Tree, is sick; I need to go see her!"
"I'm coming too!" Aeon circled Gale. "I haven't seen Ganil, the Mother Tree, yet!"
Gale was somewhat surprised.
Shaladrassil was already Aeon's dojo; he could enter the Emerald Dream at any time, yet he hadn't seen Ganil, the Mother Tree?
"Then you can come along!"
Shaladrassil swayed its body slightly, expressing its plea to Gale.
It was grown from a fruit of Ganil, the Mother Tree, so Ganil, the Mother Tree, was like its mother.
"I'll do my best."
Gale didn't make any guarantees, as he didn't truly understand the situation with Ganil, the Mother Tree.
Entering the portal, Gale summoned the Rainbow Bridge again, teleporting towards Ganil, the Mother Tree.
He didn't know the exact location of Ganil, the Mother Tree, but roughly teleporting in the direction of the Well of Eternity would suffice.
Although there was some deviation, he still arrived near Ganil, the Mother Tree.
Ganil, the Mother Tree, was much larger than Shaladrassil, but now, to conserve energy, all its leaves had fallen off.
"Is… is this Ganil, the Mother Tree?" Aeon couldn't believe the desolation before him.
Aviana said with a somber expression, "This is indeed Ganil, the Mother Tree."
Under the tree, Ysera and Cenarius had already arrived, and they were examining Ganil.
Seeing that Aviana had also invited Gale, Cenarius's expression was somewhat grim.
Ysera said, "Ganil's roots were damaged, and we have already treated them with nature magic, so there's no major issue now.
However, the truly fatal problem is that Ganil lost its energy source after losing the Well of Eternity.
If a new energy source cannot be found, I'm afraid…"
"Is it just a lack of energy source?" Gale asked, raising an eyebrow.
Cenarius said in a deep voice, "Ganil is responsible for providing natural energy to the entire Emerald Dream; it requires an enormous amount of energy."
"How enormous could it be?" Gale asked, amused. "If we recreate a Well of Eternity, can it solve the problem?"
"What did you say?" Cenarius's expression changed drastically.
He warned, "Gale, you must understand the dangers of the Well of Eternity.
It was its existence that allowed the Burning Legion to invade Azeroth."
Aviana hesitated and asked, "Can you create a new Well of Eternity?"
Ysera shook her head. "Creating a new Well of Eternity is definitely not an option.
Gale, do you have any other ideas?"
Gale took out the eternal holy grail.
"I truly don't understand you all, why you are so fearful of the energy of the Well of Eternity.
Alright, I have no intention of recreating the Well of Eternity.
This is the eternal holy grail.
Before, I used it to steal water from the Well of Eternity.
However, later Metri learned about aluneth from the Blue Dragon, and I connected it to aluneth's world.
Now, it's like a weakened version of the Well of Eternity.
We can try using the energy inside it to power Ganil, the Mother Tree; perhaps it can solve this problem."
He gave Cenarius a playful glance. "I've been powering Shaladrassil all this time; I can certainly do the same for Ganil, the Mother Tree."
Indeed, Cenarius looked at Gale with displeasure.
Aviana said with surprise, "Try it quickly."
Gale nodded, activated the Arcane Energy within the eternal holy grail, and began to summon Arcane rain.
The rain enveloped the entire Mother Tree, and soon everyone felt Ganil's comfortable mood.
