"Thank you all for being willing to lend a hand!"

The leading Druid elder stood up and slightly bowed, "The Ring of Nature will remember the help you provide."

There were quite a few people present.

At first, Su Ziyu's attention was entirely drawn to the Tree Spirit Queen - Avena. Only then did he realize that many faces nearby did not look like Druids.

The Druids have a distinct temperament, resembling scholars, yet also hermits.

To his right sat some weathered faces, with a faint scent of fish, seemingly islanders from coastal areas. It is said that the islanders here are quite fierce, some are even half-pirate half-fishermen. The Northern Continent has many lawless areas, with the City of Freedom considered somewhere that emphasizes order and law.

The relationship between the Druids and the islanders has always been good, as many islanders seek them for treatment when sick or injured, and a few Druids serve as clan advisors.

To Su Ziyu's left sat three extremely robust men, who outwardly looked like Druids, with full beards. However, they emitted a very wild aura, which Su Ziyu couldn't quite place; it was simply an anomaly from perception.

"I need you all to assist us in guarding the Ring of Nature for seven days," the Wind Caller next to the Elder also stood up, speaking solemnly, "After seven days, the unicorn's injuries will have healed."

"Those Ghost Hunters are very likely to attack during this time."

The entire meeting lasted a very short time.

After it ended, the Elder led Su Ziyu and the Tree Spirit Queen's group to meet the unicorn, protected within a house completely sealed by thorns. The Druids chanted a few spells, and then all the thorns automatically receded.

This was the first time Su Ziyu saw a living unicorn.

In the Dream Forest, he had only seen Nightmares, which were corrupted unicorns, showing no special traits.

In the Demon Hunter's world, unicorns are incredibly mystical creatures that appear after Celestial Convergence, said to travel between different worlds, implying they possess abilities similar to the Hourglass of Time, though likely not as powerful, limited to the current Crystal Wall System Universe.

The unicorn before him did not seem very large, likely younger in age, with a spiraled horn on its forehead, and a very long neck, differing notably from a regular horse.

"Thank you very much for your help."

A gentle voice echoed directly in everyone's minds.

This was the Mind Sensing ability.

If Su Ziyu continued to strengthen his Spiritual Skill Technique, he could also possess such an ability for direct mind communication.

"It's truly beautiful," the Tree Spirit Ranger Vera whispered.

The Tree Spirit Queen - Avena also appeared mesmerized, seemingly very fond of the unicorn, showing a look of wanting to touch it but afraid of scaring it.

The unicorn before them slowly stood up.

Visible were obvious wounds on its hind legs, along with some magic-induced injuries, which the Druids had already treated with herbal ointment. The unicorn's stance was quite challenging as it slowly walked towards the group, astonishing the others as it came to Su Ziyu's front, gently nudging his palm with its head.

"Hello. Guardian!" The unicorn's voice echoed in Su Ziyu's mind.

Beside him, the Tree Spirit Queen - Avena was full of disbelief. Unicorns rarely approach others; this man beside her was even more extraordinary than imagined, having the unicorn initiate contact at the first meeting.

"Hello," Su Ziyu responded softly.

He had not activated the Mind Sensing ability, so he could only answer verbally.

When he spoke, everyone else quieted down involuntarily.

Many were curious about what the unicorn might say to him, straining to hear Su Ziyu's voice.

"We need your help! Guardian!" The unicorn before him seemed to see something unseen by others, calling Su Ziyu 'Guardian' with an anxious tone, "Those ancient elves, they are hunting us down!"

"They are forcing us to open the gates to other worlds!"

"They abuse the power of space-time traversal."

"These vile ancient elves are searching for Ancient Blood! They have brought forth the terrifying white frost! White frost is devouring many worlds!..."

The unicorn's words conveyed so much information that Su Ziyu found it difficult to comprehend immediately.

He looked solemnly at the Druid Elder beside him, slightly bowing as he said, "May I speak with it alone?"

"Certainly," the Druid Elder responded without hesitation.

It seemed the Druids of the Ring of Nature knew something, otherwise they wouldn't be trying so hard to protect this unicorn.

The Druid organization prioritizes balance.

Often their actions are not driven by benefit, but by the need to restore the ecological balance of nature.

The others reluctantly left.

The Tree Spirit Queen - Avena took a deep look at Su Ziyu before turning to leave, curious about what Su Ziyu and the unicorn would discuss, but realizing now was not the right time.

Soon.

The entire house was left with only Su Ziyu and the unicorn before him.

"They are hunting Ancient Blood," the unicorn said anxiously, "Those ancient elves want to trigger another Celestial Convergence."

"We need your help! Guardian!"

Su Ziyu stroked the unicorn's head, soothing its emotions, and spoke gently, "Take it slowly. Tell me everything you know."

Time passed bit by bit.

Soon, Su Ziyu began to uncover the truth of this world.

In this world, there existed a group of ancient elves with extraordinary powers, capable of traversing space-time. Unlike mythical elves, these ancient elves were immensely militant, having once conquered many worlds and enslaved their natives.

This situation persisted until a terrifyingly disastrous phenomenon known as 'white frost' emerged.

White frost gradually freezes a world, completely encasing the whole planet in ice. To escape the dreadful white frost, the ancient elves had to keep wandering using space-time traversal.

This persisted until an accident caused them to lose this power.

The world's legendary Wild Hunt, those Ghost Hunters, are actually ancient elves hunting the heir of 'Ancient Blood,' and the unicorn before him holds the spatial coordinates of the heir. The Celestial Convergence phenomenon arises when ancient elves open the 'Gate of All Realms', utilizing this power in the past to constantly conquer other worlds.

When the Gate of All Realms opens, many worlds experience temporal-space convergences as a result.

Now, they aim to reclaim Ancient Blood and reopen the Gate of All Realms, triggering another occurrence of Celestial Convergence.
