Oracle, it was indeed an oracle.

Decades ago, the God of Dreams had issued an oracle during the war stirred by the God of Orcs, and now, once again, another oracle had descended.

This time, the oracle was brief, but every word was deeply alarming.

Especially when accompanied by the images that surfaced in their minds, one by one, the denizens of Elysia awoke from their nightmares in shock, their backs drenched in sweat.

At the same time, across every corner of Elysia, large and small forces came to realize the gravity of the situation.

Gazing into the depths of the night sky at the faint yet enormous silhouette resembling a Giant Tree, their eyes could not help but flicker.

“A Demonic Tree… an Evil God from another world…” In the depths of the Forest of Magical Beast, a Primordial Monitor Lizard that had been slumbering for ages slowly opened its eyes amidst its murmurs.

This was a renowned Magical Beast of Elysia. However, in recent years, it had entered deep sleep, closing itself off completely, not even waking when the sky itself had torn apart.

But now, under the oracle of the God of Dreams, it had awakened, fully understanding the situation.

“If it’s a battle they want, then a battle they shall have.” With a deep, rumbling growl, the Primordial Monitor Lizard slowly got up. The ground trembled as if a colossal Earth Dragon was swimming in the ground, as a massive, earth-toned Lizard, as large as a mountain, appeared in sight.

Ancient and awe-inspiring, it exuded an indescribable terror.

This was a First Class Transcendent Tier-4 Magical Beast, its power on par with the three Dragon Kings.

…

At the same time—

*Haaaaaa…* A sigh echoed through the Dark Forest, one of the Seven Treacherous Territories…

In the depths of this ancient area, a gigantic creature, resembling a Bone Dragon, slowly emerged.

It was one of the most terrifying Dark Creatures, feared and dreaded by many.

But now, with Elysia under invasion, personal and racial grudges were all set aside.

…

Of course, this was only the beginning.

In response to the oracle, many slumbering powerhouses across the continent chose to awaken, while others began gathering on their own, preparing for the impending war.

This was something Yu Zi Yu clearly did not anticipate.

While he had considered that in a world with underdeveloped communication, there might be a thing such as an oracle, it had not occurred to him that it could be performed at such a level.

To say the least, it was incredibly convenient.

In just half a night, the news of the otherworldly invasion had spread across most of the continent.

However, even if Yu Zi Yu knew about it, he probably would not care.

After all, the reckless actions of the three Gods and the peak powerhouses of the Elf Clan had already secured Earth’s victory; it was set in stone.

As for what Yu Zi Yu needed to do now, it was simply to wait.

At present, both Earth and Elysia were practically half under Yu Zi Yu’s control.

War was the best catalyst for progress. As such, the war between the two worlds would, to some extent, greatly accelerate their respective civilizations’ progress.

What Yu Zi Yu needed to do was keep the war within a manageable scope.

For instance, he would try not to let too many Tier-4 Transcendents be slaughtered. After all, powerhouses of that level were the greatest resource.

As for the rest…It was just a matter of reaping and reaping.

With each round of harvest, he would finish the necessary upgrades to achieve a qualitative leap in his own strength.

…

Meanwhile, deep within one of Yu Zi Yu’s Nine Space Pockets—the Pocket of Light…

A Massive Tree resembling an Ox supported the entire space.

Beneath this Tree stood a stone platform and a stone table.

Yu Zi Yu’s Void Elf Form sat quietly at the table, with a golden-haired beauty, so beautiful that she seemed as if she had stepped out of a painting, pouring Spirit Essence beside him.

This was the Mermaid Queen, a first-class Tier-4 Transcendent. She was skilled in the Mermaid Song, which could purify mind, body, and even the Soul. She was also one of Yu Zi Yu’s Apostles.

And now…

As she poured the Spirit Essence, the Mermaid Queen, Elsa, smiled and asked, “Master, what do you plan to do next?”

“To wait…” Taking a sip of the Spirit Essence in his cup, Yu Zi Yu’s lips curled into a slight smile.

Taking a sip, he could not help but admit that the Spirit Essence from his main body was indeed a treasure.

Even now, as he tried it with his Void Elf Form, Yu Zi Yu could feel this body growing stronger at a visible pace. Moreover, his Spiritual Energy had increased by hundreds of thousands.

This was the highest grade Tier-5 Life Essence from his main body.

[If I continue to refine this Void Elf Form with my Life Essence, it wouldn’t take long before this body would reach the peak of Tier-4.] Thinking this, Yu Zi Yu felt completely satisfied.

[Usually, my subordinates benefit from my Spirit Essence. I never thought that there would come a day, when I would have a chance to use it myself? Still, this is not the time to focus on that…]

Eliminating the distracting thoughts, Yu Zi Yu shifted most of his consciousness to his main body, leaving only a small part to continue refining the Void Elf Form.

According to Yu Zi Yu’s estimation, by the next time he used his Void Elf Form, it would likely have reached the peak of Tier-4, if not halfway to Tier-5.

After all, the resources in Yu Zi Yu’s Pocket of Life were no joke. In addition, the Void Elf Form itself had exceptional potential.

…

Not long after, Yu Zi Yu was mostly back in his main body. His branches started swaying as his body began to shrink.

*Boom, boom…* At a pace visible to the naked eye, Yu Zi Yu’s body, which seemed to cover most of the starry sky, shrank again and again, until it was only several dozen meters tall.

“Now that the world’s barrier has partially shattered, nothing can stop me from descending.” Saying this, Yu Zi Yu’s Spiritual Energy surged once again.

With a *whoosh*, Yu Zi Yu’s entire body shot towards Planet Elysia, like a meteor zooming through space.

His destination was none other than the skies above Dragon Island, where the fiercest battles were taking place…

…

Dragon Island, one of the Seven Treacherous Territories of Elysia, was also the gathering place for the most powerful predators—Dragons.

At this moment, the sky above Dragon Island was shattered like a mirror, with overwhelmingly fearsome auras clashing with each other.

“You’re courting death!” With a furious roar, a Golden Dragon Tail suddenly swelled, transforming into a massive golden mace, smashing toward a distant figure standing on the ocean.

“Come on then…” Behemoth, the terrifying monster known as the Terrestrial King, burst into laughter as he spread his arms wide, choosing to meet the attack head-on.

*Boooooooooom…* A thunderous clap reverberated through the sky, as a horrifying shockwave spread from the point of impact, raising waves hundreds of meters high. Amidst it, a massive figure could be seen being pushed back through the sea.

However, what was unbelievable was that even as this terrifying figure was being pushed back, it still firmly held onto the Golden Dragon Tail.

“How is this possible!?” In astonishment, one Dragon after another stared in disbelief at the beast that had withstood the Golden Dragon King’s tail strike.
