Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 1222 - 796: Bridging Two Worlds, Fallen God Canyon (2)
The new Chief Priest Kayretz of the church excitedly watched as the half-empty sky on the hillside began to shimmer with light, his face full of expectation.
"It’s coming... this moment... has finally arrived!"
He clenched his fists slightly.
After wandering for a thousand years, it was finally time to go home.
On the hillside, the light grew brighter and more dazzling.
Gradually, an incredibly magnificent crystal gate slowly emerged...
It stood on the hillside, beneath the Tree of Life, gleaming under the sunlight.
"It’s done!"
Sensing the subtle spatial fluctuations, Kayretz’s eyes held a hint of joy.
He turned around and looked behind him.
The elves, who had long since packed their bags.
Compared to the total population of elves in the Minder Plane, their number wasn’t large, but at this moment, their eyes were filled with excitement, some even misty-eyed and sobbing.
Among them, many were quite old. Although they were born in the Minder Plane, the elders’ longing and obsession to return home had long been instilled in their hearts.
The Elf Clan is inherently a race that cherishes their homeland.
And in the farther distance, more elves watched here.
They were the ones who chose to stay in the Minder Plane, many having established families there, some even with other races like humans and Half-Elves.
For them, the Minder Plane already held irresistible ties, and it had become their new home.
They would continue to live here, raise their children, and nurture the next generation.
Perhaps one day in the future, when their children grow up, seeking greater power, they will return here, step through this Plane Gate to their legendary homeland, and embark on adventures in broader worlds.
They might even form bonds with the Chosen Ones who arrive in this world, becoming friends and guiding the Chosen Ones through new adventures in this rich and beautiful ocean world.
And when they can no longer travel, perhaps nostalgia will rise, and they will choose to return to their roots.
But that will be another story.
The light gradually dispersed, and the Plane Gate finally stabilized.
Legendary Elf Kayretz wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, a hint of gentleness appearing on his dignified face:
"People of our clan! The gate to our homeland... has opened!"
...
The Plane Gate to Minder was officially established.
Ultimately, around 173,000 elves and Half-Elves chose to return, with elves making up about ten percent.
There were elders as well as young people seeking broader horizons.
This number was actually quite significant.
The returning elves were given the divine mandate by Eve in the Divine Country to freely choose their settlements.
The Ice Sealed Valley was too damaged, and Demon Beasts were rampant, making it unsuitable for city building; at most, it could be a base for mining Magic Electric Stones.
However, Crystal City could be rebuilt.
The players found the ruins of the long-distance Teleportation Array, and Eve took the opportunity to rebuild one in Rivendell as well, reconnecting the two once-linked cities.
As a result, the ongoing construction of the new main city "Urumqi" in the northwest canyon suffered a real estate dip.
With no other choice, the new main city was planned to be a transportation hub, but with the construction of a Teleportation Array connecting Rivendell and Crystal City, players naturally had no need to take detours to the Minder Plane, so the real estate dip was expected.
Of course, considering the cost of the long-distance Teleportation Array, when players transport bulk goods, they still need to consider using land routes, so even though the transportation advantage was weakened, it wasn’t completely lost...
To solve this problem, after a discussion, the top management of the Night Watcher Guild, affiliated with the new main city, decided to bite the bullet and build a Teleportation Array between the new city and Crystal City.
Fortunately, this Teleportation Array wasn’t far, with a direct distance of only a few dozen kilometers.
As the city-building began, players gradually explored down the Grand Canyon, and unexpectedly discovered a vast forest at the bottom, home to various rare plants and Demon Beasts, providing players with a new adventure ground.
Correspondingly, the new main city on the edge of the canyon naturally benefited.
Eve was aware of these things, but what He wanted to criticize more was the name the players gave to the new main city...
Though from what He gathered, Eve knew it was the Guild Leader of the Night Watcher Guild, a northwest young man, who came up with the name on a whim, but that it passed a full guild vote was impressive.
Who knows what backroom dealings were involved.
Discovering new ruins, establishing the Plane Gate, officially starting the construction of the new main city, these were the three major events recently in the Elf Forest.
Besides that, another activity that many tech-geek players were interested in had started in Mountain Peak City in the Dark Mountain Range.
It was an initiative by Gugu Bird, the vice-chairperson of the Mengmeng Committee, planning to establish a Magic Technology Research Center in Mountain Peak City and invite a wide range of tech-geek players to participate.
Reportedly, the discovery of Magic Electric Stones had thoroughly piqued the interest of this top student from Jinghua University.
The purpose of the research center was singular: to reference the technology from Blue Star, combine it with the magic knowledge of the Segis World, and develop all sorts of new Magic Technology.
This even caught Eve’s attention, leading Him to secretly join the fun and silently marvel that what was meant to happen finally happened.
The Elf Forest was steadily developing, while at the same time, the player army pursuing the Abyss Army in Silent Annihilation Wilderness finally reached the vicinity of the Gate of Hell leading to the sixth layer of Hell — Fallen God Canyon.
Endless Abyss, Silent Annihilation Wilderness.
Lightning cracked amidst thick clouds, and the clouds churned, while on the ground, golden-red lava flowed from fissures, constantly converging into one river of lava after another.
This was a Grand Canyon filled with lava and volcanoes, from a distance, the ground where the lava flowed looked like a dark red spider web, spreading in a sea of fire...
The temperature here was much higher compared to other areas of the Silent Annihilation Wilderness, the air thick with the smell of sulfur, and filled with a suffocating yellow fog.
In the canyon, the demons dragged their long columns, slowly moving toward a more distant direction, and from afar, the end of the canyon was a majestic volcano slowly oozing lava, its crater touching the clouds, flickering with serpents of lightning, thunder rumbling, echoing constantly...
And at the mountainside of the volcano, there stood a giant black stone gate, even from over ten kilometers away, it could be seen clearly.
"What’s that?"
Standing outside Fallen God Canyon, the commander of this player army, Transforming Ji Gang, muttered in shock.
Having experienced the battle of Fengyue Free Territory, he had matured significantly. Although his command ability was still not as good as Li Mu’s, fighting a favorable battle like this was already quite something.
"That’s the Gate of Hell."
Beside him, an ancient and solemn voice slowly arose.
The Holy Giant Dragon Mars, in human form, stood beside Transforming Ji Gang, with a serious expression.
"The Gate of Hell?"
Transforming Ji Gang’s eyelids twitched.
"It’s the Plane Gate leading to the Hell Plane, a passage connecting the ordinary Abyss Plane with the Hell Plane, and where the Demon Gods dispatch their armies."
Mars explained.
"Hell..."
Transforming Ji Gang’s expression slightly changed.
He looked again toward the canyon where demons, resembling ants, were slowly moving toward the Gate of Hell, a hint of realization flashing in his eyes:
"No wonder... no wonder they keep fleeing in this direction... The war mission mentioned, to chase the demons to their escape point, it must be referring to here, right?"
Speaking, he looked to the other side, at a Druid player also standing by the cliff, looking into the distance.
With a hint of respectful admiration, Transforming Ji Gang smiled:
"What do you think, Sister Feng?"

Awkward, Chapter 492 was wrong; Samael’s Hell was the sixth layer, not the fifth, already corrected.
