Kangaroo Country, Northern Ridge.
A long, giant dragon soars through the sky, heading towards its destination.
This dragon is none other than the adorable "Five-Clawed Golden Dragon," with Fang Xian and Fubuki riding on its head.
Fubuki nestles in Fang Xian's arms, her pretty face slightly flushed as she enjoys his gentle caresses.
Fang Xian gazes into the distance, gently stroking Fubuki's little head.
"Fubuki, are we almost there?"
"Woo woo woo."
"You can talk now."
"Phew!"
Fubuki lets out a long breath and slowly sits up.
She takes a bottle of mineral water from her "Storage Ring" and gulps it down.
"Honey, the 'World Guild's' territory is just ahead."
Fang Xian looks around; everywhere is forest, birdsong, and fragrant flowers—a scene of peace and tranquility.
"The 'World Guild's' territory looks like a paradise."
Fubuki wiped her mouth, put the half-empty water bottle back in her storage ring, and behaved as a civilized person who didn't litter.
"Honey, you don't know, but this is all an illusion. The real 'World Guild' is hidden."
"Oh? Is this what you called the 'Concealment Array'?"
"Yes."
Fang Xian had already learned the secret of the "World Guild's" territory from the two sisters before coming.
The "World Guild" activated the "Concealment Array" specifically to deal with the descent of the "Demon God."
The "Concealment Array" is like a mirror; outside the mirror is one world, and inside is another.
Whether observing from the outside or entering, nothing seems amiss.
Only with a "pass" can one enter the other world within the mirror.
Fang Xian took out a wooden token from his storage ring, with a large "通" (pass) engraved on it.
This is the pass to enter the "World Guild."
Fubuki also produced a "pass," while Fang Xian's was Tornado's.
The reason Fubuki was chosen to lead the way instead of Tatsumaki was because Tatsumaki has a terrible sense of direction.
"Xiao'er, set up multiple layers of space here to block their escape routes. Anyone who tries to escape must be killed without mercy."
Xiao'er hovered in the sky, creating multiple layers of space.
"Yes, Daddy."
"Good girl."
After giving his instructions, Fang Xian took the "pass" and entered the forest with Fubuki.
As soon as they entered, the entire world began to flip, upside down, and then instantly returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
Fang Xian nodded. He was very interested in this magic array and wanted to get his hands on it sometime.
Looking around, the place had unique tropical scenery, lush vegetation, and shady trees.
Tall palm trees swayed in the wind, sunlight filtering through the gaps, creating dappled patterns.
The most striking feature was a towering tree in the distance, hundreds of meters tall, its trunk entirely red.
Its canopy resembled a giant, open umbrella, a truly magnificent sight.
"Is that the 'World Tree'?"
Fubuki frowned slightly, somewhat hesitant.
"Honey, before we left, the 'World Tree' was only 10 meters tall, now… I'm not so sure."
"But judging from its appearance, it does look very much like the 'World Tree'."
"Hmm, let's go take a look."
Fang Xian estimated the distance, not wanting to waste time.
"Come into my arms."
"Hehe, okay, honey."
Fubuki happily bumped into Fang Xian, dribbling her ball.
Fang Xian shook his head helplessly, hugged Fubuki tightly, and flew at high speed towards the "World Tree."
In a short while, Fang Xian and Fubuki appeared at the foot of the "World Tree."
Looking up, they saw dozens of bright red fruits growing on the towering tree.
The fruits were about the size of a baby's clenched fist, with irregular shapes, resembling a strange combination of various geometric figures.
The bright red skin was dotted with fluorescent green spots, shimmering with a faint and eerie light.
Fang Xian looked at the fruits on the tree with some curiosity and asked,
"Is this what's called the 'Red Divine Gift'?"
Before Fubuki could speak, a hoarse voice answered for her.
"Yes, it is indeed called 'Red Divine Gift'."
Fubuki looked in the direction of the voice, slightly startled.
"Guild Master."
Fang Xian glanced at the newcomer. He was tall, with well-defined features, dressed in an exquisite black suit, his brows exuding composure and elegance.
"Mr. Fang Xian, hello, I am Hannibal, the guild master of 'World Guild'."
Fang Xian scrutinized Hannibal, somewhat surprised that he had appeared so openly and greeted him as if nothing had happened.
Fang Xian and the "World Guild" were practically sworn enemies. Hannibal's actions made it seem as if they had already reconciled.
However, something unusual was bound to happen. Fang Xian wanted to see what tricks Hannibal was up to.
"Mr. Hannibal, you appear before me so calmly, aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"
Hannibal smiled slightly, a hint of confidence in his smile.
"With Mr. Fang Xian's strength, killing me would be a piece of cake. However, since I've taken the initiative to appear, I naturally want to resolve our grudges."
"You tried to assassinate me; this debt will come at a heavy price."
"Of course, I will naturally show the utmost sincerity. How about we go for a drink and talk things over?"
"No need, just get to the point."
Hannibal smiled slightly, gazing up at the towering "World Tree."
"Mr. Fang Xian, do you know that once the 'World Tree' is planted, it cannot leave this soil? Once it leaves, it will wither and die."
Fang Xian sneered. Hannibal was telling him not to covet the "World Tree."
"Get to the point, don't waste my time."
"Alright, Mr. Fang Xian, you must already know about the 'Golden Divine Gift.' As for the 'Red Divine Gift,' it evolves from the 'Golden Divine Gift.'"
"The 'Golden Divine Gift' can grant people 'divine attributes,' while the 'Red Divine Gift' can increase lifespan."
"It allows people to—maintain eternal youth."
Fang Xian and Fubuki were both shocked upon hearing this.
There was actually a treasure that could increase lifespan! No wonder Hannibal was willing to send a "demon god" to descend in order to obtain the "Red Divine Gift."
If it truly could increase lifespan, then Hannibal would have countless times to grow stronger. At that time, becoming the strongest person on Earth wouldn't be a problem.
He could even permanently rule Earth and become an immortal emperor.
Hannibal smiled slyly. Anyone who heard this news would be tempted; this was exactly the effect he wanted.
"Mr. Fang Xian, how about we make a deal?"
"Oh, right, I forgot to remind you, once I die, the 'Divine Concealment Array' will collapse, and this space will crumble along with it, causing the 'World Tree' to wither immediately."
"If Mr. Fang Xian wishes to remain forever young, please think twice."
Fang Xian smiled coldly. No wonder Hannibal was so confident; it was all part of his plan, playing his cards straight out of the bag—a true old fox.
Unfortunately, he'd encountered Fang Xian, who possessed the "Ghostly Physique."
Fang Xian's lips curled into a mocking smile as he looked at Hannibal.
"Before absolute power, all schemes are useless."
"Trick: Mind Interference."
