?

John returned to his residence, had a quick lunch, and then re-entered the world of Gods to continue his search for a 3rd-tier rare boss to obtain the City Building Order.

...

He wandered through the Moonshadow Gorge for three days, nearly clearing out all the beasts in the area. His level rose to 50, surpassing the second-ranked Dark Angel by 11 levels, causing quite a stir.

During this time, he killed seven 3rd-tier rare bosses.

But still hadn't found a City Building Order.

However, his strength had greatly improved.

His four basic attributes increased by over a thousand points, and he also plundered an earth- element primary area control skill, Earthquake!

[Earthquake: Level 1, Primary Magic, Effect: Deals mental * 90 earth magic damage to targets in range and slows their movement. Cost: 50 mana, Cooldown: 30 seconds]

Additionally, all of John's Assassin skills were upgraded to level 10, and with the added bonus from his physical damage talent, the combat power of his Phantom Assassin far exceeded that of his Wrath of the Gods mage.

The only regret was that he still hadn't obtained a City Building Order from any of the bosses. John looked at the now desolate gorge and felt a bit helpless.

The monsters and bosses here wouldn't respawn anytime soon.

Ding!

Just then, John received a private message from Sini.

Gale: "Master, we're in trouble. The orcs have attacked the elves. We need your help." Orcs!

John saw Sini's message and his expression turned serious.

The orcs were a powerful force supported and cultivated by the Dark Humans, with all

members being level 60 and above, and at least 3rd-tier in strength.

The elite among them were equivalent to elite bosses, and the orc leaders were all rare bosses.

In their prime, the elves would not have feared them.

However, the elves had declined and were no longer a match for the orcs.

Moreover, the players' current strength wasn't enough to contend with the orcs.

Still, John felt confident in dealing with these orcs. More importantly, killing orc leaders had a high chance of dropping a City Building Order.

Godslayer: "Send me the coordinates."

Sini quickly sent the coordinates.

John looked at the location and furrowed his brow.

The coordinates pointed to a deep forest area near his starting village, specifically in the heart of the Eternal Forest.

"Could it be Anna's elven tribe?" John thought of the Elven Saintess Anna and felt a surge of anticipation.

Anna was his first woman in the world of Gods.

Although the circumstances were unique and he had to save her, John felt a special connection with Anna.

Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, he decided not to dwell on it. Whether it was Anna or not, he would find out soon enough.

"Avis, let's go." John woke up the drowsy Avis, and together they quickly flew towards the Eternal Forest.

The Eternal Forest was one of the most perilous regions in the world of Gods, filled with mysteries and countless powerful beings.

In his previous life, even when John had reached the pinnacle of ninth-tier strength, he dared not easily venture into the Eternal Forest.

It was rumored that a temple existed there, inhabited by gods.

Whether this was true or not, no one had ever confirmed.

The land of the elves was situated on the outskirts of the Eternal Forest, surrounded by powerful level 60 tree monsters.

Avis, upon entering this area, became more cautious, lowering its flight altitude and slowing down.

It scanned the surroundings warily and warned, "Master, this area feels very dangerous. It's more perilous than Death Land."

John nodded, feeling a similar sense of oppression.

Rustle...

Below, the trees shook, accompanied by the sounds of combat. A group of ugly humanoid creatures was attacking a tree monster.

"Orcs!" John immediately recognized the vile and grotesque creatures below as orcs.

Whoosh!

Flames erupted as John cast Rain of Fire, enveloping the orcs and the tree monster below.

The powerful magic attack instantly killed them.

[Killed level 60 orc minion, gained 210 experience points]

[Killed level 75 demonic tree monster, gained 360 experience points]

[Plunder talent activated, luck attribute +1]

...

Notification messages flickered.

John was surprised to plunder 1 point of luck from the demonic tree monster.

On the ground, two pieces of third-tier ordinary-quality equipment dropped.

John collected them without inspecting.

He knowing that the appearance of orcs meant he was close to The Land of Elves.

Continuing onward, he slaughtered every orc he encountered.

The trees grew denser, and the oppressive aura lessened.

John ordered Avis to land and surveyed the area.

Sini's coordinates indicated this location, but aside from the dense trees, there was no sign of

life.

Avis spoke, "Master, I sense spatial energy here. There's a hidden entrance."

The massive dragon eyes glinted as Avis carefully sensed the surroundings.

"You can sense spatial energy?" John asked, surprised.

"Of course. The great black dragon lineage is highly sensitive to magical fluctuations," Avis

said, shaking its large head proudly.

John ignored Avis's boasting and asked, "Where's the entrance?"

Avis's head drooped, embarrassed. "Master, I can sense the spatial energy, but I can't find the

entrance."

"Damn, so what good are you?" John muttered in exasperation, realizing this big guy wasn't as helpful as he'd hoped. He decided to message Sini.

He sent a message to Sini for assistance.

Soon, the spatial energy around them fluctuated, and three figures appeared out of thin air.

Sini, Tracy, and a stunning elf.

"An elf!"

Avis immediately stood up, his eyes filled with hostility. Upon realizing that the elf was not a dark elf, his expression softened, and he lay back down.

The elven race comprised two types: dark elves and natural elves. Dark elves were evil, cruel,

and selfish.

Whereas natural elves were peace-loving and reclusive, rarely interacting with the outside

world.

The beautiful elf before them was a natural elf.

John paid no attention to Avis. He focused on the elf, her flowing green hair, her skin like porcelain, and her captivating beauty. It was indeed Anna.

"Old man!" Tracy, seeing John, ran over joyfully. She had not seen him for three days and

missed him dearly.

"Benefactor? It really is you!" Anna, sensing a familiar presence, recognized John and cried

out in surprise and delight.

"Benefactor?" Sini glanced at Anna and then at John, quickly understanding the situation.

She walked over to John, pinching his waist hard, and said with a hurt tone, "Master, so you're

the human player Anna was talking about!"

John laughed awkwardly, sensing Sini's irritation. He reassured her, "It was a unique situation at the time. I had to save her."

Sini let go, her hand gently rubbing John's waist with concern. She whispered, "I'm just upset

you kept something this important from me. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have worked so

hard! Hmph!"

She didn't mind how many women were around John.

As long as she held a place in his heart.

Tracy, puzzled, asked, "Sini, what are you talking about? And Old man, do you know Anna

too?"

"This is a long story," John said, unsure how to explain.

Anna watched the affectionate interaction between Sini, Tracy, and John with a mix of envy

and shyness.

Sini noticed Anna's feelings, took her hand, and comforted her, "Anna, we're truly sisters

now."

Anna nodded happily.

"And me too," Tracy added, even though she still didn't fully understand what was

happening. "Alright, let's focus on the matter at hand," John interjected, asking, "How many orcs are there? Can they enter the elven lands?"

At the mention of orcs, Anna's expression darkened. "Benefactor, you should all leave. The fate of the elves is already sealed."

She glanced at the powerful black dragon behind John and chose not to elaborate. She believed that even with John and the mighty black dragon, they stood no chance against the

orcs.

Rather than letting them die in vain, she thought it better for them to leave immediately. "Sister Anna, Old man is very powerful. He will definitely help you drive away the orcs," Tracy said, looking at John with blind admiration.

Sini also urged, "Yes. No matter how strong the enemy is, there are always more ways to overcome challenges when we work together."

Anna hesitated, but seeing the determination in John's eyes, she reluctantly agreed. "Benefactor, come with me," she said. Stepping forward, she waved her hand, causing the spatial energy to fluctuate and revealing a hidden path.

Anna led the way, with John and the others following closely behind. The black dragon Avis squeezed in after them.

[You have discovered a hidden, unopened map: The Land of Elves

]

The notification appeared.

Like Death Land, this was another hidden, unopened map.

The only difference is that Death Land is shrouded in mist and filled with a menacing

atmosphere.

Here, it is bright and lively, full of vitality, with birds singing and flowers blooming.

The most striking feature was an ancient tree with a massive, dense canopy that seemed to

cover the entire Elven Lands.

"That is the Tree of Life," Anna explained to John. "It is the sacred relic of the elves. Unfortunately, our other sacred relic, the Elven Spring, was stolen, preventing the Tree of Life from nurturing new elves. Now, our tribe is down to just over a thousand members, and we

face an imminent threat from over ten thousand orcs who have found a weak point in our defenses. They could break in at any moment."

She sighed deeply, feeling a sense of helplessness.

As the Elven Saintess, she couldn't even protect the remaining thousand or so members of her

tribe.

"Why don't you leave this place?" John asked, puzzled.

These thousand or so elves were not significantly stronger than the orcs, and they wouldn't be able to withstand an attack from such a large army.

Anna shook her head and gently stroked a hanging branch of the Tree of Life, her eyes resolute. "The Tree of Life is the essence of the elven race. Without it, there is no elven tribe.

We will defend it to the death."

Around them, elves passed by, all armed and moving with purpose, their expressions

determined.

The elves here were prepared to live and die with the Tree of Life.
