A member of the elven team from Arlin’s faction returned to Vale to deliver the message.

When Ji Chen and his group rushed back to Vale, thousands of elves were already waiting outside the passage. Seeing Ji Chen returning safely, their faces lit up with excitement.

Marianne, accompanied by a group of elven elders, approached Ji Chen. She looked at Ji Chen, who had undergone significant changes in appearance and temperament, and restrained her emotions as she spoke.

“Lord Ji Chen, did you succeed?”

“Did you really obtain that divine weapon?”

Ji Chen nodded slightly.

“Yes, 1 have returned to fulfill the promise I made earlier. I will take you away from here and reunite you with your kin.”

As soon as he finished speaking, all the elves erupted in cheers, including the elven elders, who couldn’t hide their excitement.

After so many years, they could finally leave this desolate frozen wilderness and embrace the spring of the main world freely.

Once the excitement subsided, Marianne spoke loudly.

“Everyone, go and pack your belongings. Remember to bring only the essentials and a month’s worth of provisions.”

“You have at most half a day, so hurry!”

“Yes!”

The elves scattered to prepare, and as Marianne watched her people’s happiness and excitement, she felt deeply satisfied. She then turned to Ji Chen with a grateful expression.

“Thank you for everything you’ve done for Vale. Without you, we might still be in the dark, without hope of leaving this place.”

Ji Chen chuckled. “It was a minor effort.”

Marianne shook her head and then, as if remembering something, a request gleamed in her cloudy eyes.

“Lord Ji Chen, before we leave, could you make a slight detour? There’s a place where one of our kin is sealed.”

Ji Chen furrowed his brows but eventually nodded.

“Lead the way.”

Following the guidance of the elf Arlin, Ji Chen arrived at a resource warehouse carved deep into the mountainside. He received his reward.

“This warehouse stores crystals, that one holds mithril, and the farthest one contains adamantine.

Oh, and there are two thousand units of spirit crystals here. Spirit crystals are incredibly rare, and we’ve only managed to collect this much over the years.”

Arlin pointed to the milky white crystals stored in several large crates. She looked somewhat regretful.

However, Ji Chen was pleasantly surprised. He knew how precious spirit crystals were. Despite his best efforts, he had only managed to gather barely a thousand units from various sources over the past few months. Yet here, there were a total of two thousand units, doubling his stockpile!

Spirit crystals were a strategic resource needed for recruiting higher-tier units, making them an invaluable resource.

Ji Chen didn’t hesitate and directly stashed these spirit crystals into his possession.

Next, he looked at the piles of rare resources stacked in the warehouses. With a wave of his hand, he collected these treasures, more dazzling and captivating than gold coins.

First, he dealt with the crystals. With each wave, large sections of crystals vanished, producing pleasant tinkling sounds as they rolled away, disappearing completely in no time.

Soon, an entire crystal mountain had been collected and vanished without a trace.

Arlin watched this efficient collection process, her mouth hanging open. She vividly remembered the painstaking effort it had taken to transport these crystals here from the outside world over several months, and now, in just over ten seconds, they were gone.

However, she had no objections to this. Ji Chen’s actions for Vale Village were worth far more than the value of these crystals.

“Ding- You have obtained three million units of crystals and three million units of mithril…”

Looking at the system notification, Ji Chen felt a sense of delight.

In just a short ten minutes, he had collected tens of thousands of units of rare resources, totaling a staggering 12 million units. This was the largest windfall he had ever received, equivalent to three times the rare resources he had gained on Starshine Islands.

With such a substantial amount of resources, he wouldn’t have to worry about recruiting units for some time.

“Lord Ji Chen, 1 have a question to ask you,” Arlin suddenly asked in a low voice.

Ji Chen paused, then smiled and said, “Go ahead.”

His mood was good at the moment, so a small question like this was nothing.

A faint excitement appeared on Arlin’s reserved face.

“What is the outside world like? Does it really have four seasons and day and night? Are there many different races besides orcs, humans, and elves?”

Ji Chen smiled as he replied, “Of course, there are. The sun brings the day, and the moon brings the night. At night, the sky darkens, and the moon and stars shine brightly.

Trolls, dwarves, halflings, seafolk, and many other races thrive on the continent and in the oceans. You will see them all when you go out…”

As he described the outside world, Ji Chen saw a glimmer of hope and longing in the eyes of this elf who had always been quiet and reserved. It made him feel a sense of pride and mission.

All these elves were born after the God War, and their first sight was this icy wilderness, devoid of knowledge of the vibrant world beyond. They were like caged birds, confined to this narrow world.

Thinking that he would take these caged elves to a much broader world, Ji Chen felt an inexplicable sense of pride and purpose.

“After you go out, maybe you can look for an elf named Kris. I think you two would get along well….”
