"Rumble——"

An overwhelming gravity engulfed the plain and the surrounding forests, swamps, lakes, and mountains.

Mountains crumbled, trees were ground to powder, swamps solidified into land, and lakes were filled.

Changing the world was as easy as lifting a hand.

"Speaker Lole, does constructing a cross-plane space transmission array require any special terrain?" After leveling the land, Peyton turned to Lole and asked.

"No, this is fine." Lole shook his head, taking Cyan Sky Juice and Void Stones from the Space Ring. Under the watchful eyes of the other speakers, he activated the Earth Force Rune System, which had previously merged with Space Jumping Witchcraft, shaping each Void Stone into a cornerstone of a large Space Jumping Witchcraft Magic Array.

He then sprinkled Cyan Sky Juice over the formed space transmission array cornerstones and inscribed the Space Jumping Witchcraft runes onto them.

It took nearly ten hours in total for him to complete a cross-plane teleportation array covering a radius of five thousand miles.

Unlike the inferior versions of space transmission arrays made by students, which could only perform point-to-point transmission and allowed no return.

His space transmission array could transmit both out from the Wizard Plane and back from the outer plane without restricting the number of connections to the transmission array, making it extremely convenient.

Of course, the prerequisite for connecting to a space transmission array is that there must be an array on the other side as well, even Lole couldn't change that.

"The transmission array on your side is done," Lole flew back to the other speakers, smiling as he asked, "I still need to build one on the other side. Besides the originally agreed seventeen speakers and Domenico, are there any others who want to go and take a look?"

According to the agreement in the Grand Council, the Wizard Alliance would deploy seventeen speakers to handle the fifth-level life forms of the Forest Plane.

As for the other speakers, they would have to wait for the next plane opening to have a chance to act.

Of course, Domenico had to go, as he was the translator and had yet to develop a translator device.

"I want to go see the excitement, I haven't seen a different plane yet." Jerald spoke first.

"I also want to take a look."

"Count me in."

"And me too..."

Including Francis, who had been to the Yinhua Plane once, none of these guys were left behind; they all requested Lole to take them along to have a look.

"Since everyone wants to go, let's all go together." Lole agreed readily.

...

At the far west of the Wizard Plane, across the thick Plane Barrier.

This was a plane covered by almost ten thousand forests, each forest vast and boundless, seemingly stretching endlessly beyond sight.

Countless rivers and lakes crisscrossed the forests, adorning them like necklaces and jewels.

Most conspicuous among these forests were the towering giant trees, radiating white light from their branches and leaves, distributed throughout the forests.

The distribution of these white giant trees was extremely regular; any giant tree reaching a height of over a hundred meters either occupied a stretch of river over ten miles long or held a lake all to itself, worshiped by countless strange animals around it.

Giant trees below one hundred meters height, however, usually stood far from any water source, and fewer animals worshipped around them.

Suddenly, in the southwest of this plane, a ninety-two meter tall white giant tree, under the worship of animals, released a dense white light.

White giant trees within a five-hundred-mile radius sensed the anomaly of this tree and began swaying their branches and leaves.

It seemed like they were celebrating, or perhaps gearing up for battle.

Ten minutes later, the ninety-two meter tall giant tree, enveloped in dense white light, slowly grew taller, reaching a height of one hundred seventeen meters.

At that moment, unique information spread through the intertwined roots of the giant trees, reaching the senses of the newly advanced tree.

"Reya, who do you want to challenge?"

"Come, Reya, challenge me. My followers are far more numerous than Du An's; defeat me, and you will possess everything I have."

"Reya, they are all too weak; you should challenge the strong, like me."

The giant trees within a five hundred mile range surrounding Reya, each standing between one hundred fifty to two hundred meters tall, spoke one after another, attempting to entice the newly advanced tree with all they had.

Meanwhile, the giant trees below one hundred fifty meters, as well as those over two hundred meters tall, remained silent, maintaining a quiet posture.

The reason for their silence was simple; trees towering over two hundred meters knew that unless the newly advanced tree was foolish, it wouldn't challenge them.

As for the trees under one hundred fifty meters, they didn't have absolute confidence in defeating the newly advanced tree.

Reya didn't respond, only swaying its crown as if observing the surrounding giant trees.

After a moment, its gaze fixed on a giant tree standing one hundred seventy-two miles away, about one hundred twenty-three meters tall, occupying a fifteen-mile stretch of river. It issued a challenge: "Ancestor Frow, I want to have a Saint Asia Battle with Wood."

"Approved."

A succinct response came from the heart of the forest, about seven thousand miles from there.

"What a pity, Reya doesn't seem reckless."

"Indeed."

"It's not a big deal; regardless of whether Reya or Wood wins, another challenge right will be gained, spurring him might bring even greater rewards."

"That depends on what level he evolves to by then; it wouldn't be good if he carelessly gets devoured."

...

The surrounding giant trees that were not chosen as challenge targets murmured among themselves, while Wood, the tree Reya selected as the challenge target, rose from the ground alongside Reya.

"Rumble——"

The earth began to split.

Countless thick white roots tore through the earth, emerging on the surface.

Ordinary trees around the roots were affected and fell one after another.

Animals that had been observing the movements of this forest temporarily 'abandoned' their faith in the original Saint Asia trees, bowing to the two towering trees instead.

Invisible to the naked eye, the Power of Faith rapidly converged towards the two giant trees, making the white light they emitted even more dazzling, and their bodies visibly grew taller and thicker.

"Rumble——Crack——"

Supported by its roots, Reya moved slowly towards Wood with its massive body.

Along the way, he carefully avoided animals that bowed to him and Saint Asia trees below one hundred meters. However, he mercilessly crushed ordinary plants and trees.

At the same time, Wood, the one challenged by Reya, was also moving towards him.

The Saint Asia Battle couldn't take place by the water sources to prevent damage, as restoring them would require help from high-level Saint Asia giant trees at great cost.

The distance between the two giant trees kept narrowing.

A hundred miles...

Fifty miles...

Moments later, they converged in an area with no life other than ordinary plants and trees, separated by about three miles, staring at each other from afar.

It's worth mentioning that during the time they were advancing towards each other, the Power of Faith provided by the animals bowing to them enabled significant growth.

Reya had grown from one hundred seventeen meters at breakthrough to one hundred thirty-nine meters, while Wood, selected as his opponent, had grown from one hundred twenty-three meters to one hundred forty-seven meters.

Upon meeting, without any unnecessary dialogue, countless roots and branches extended, swinging with intense white light at each other.

"Snap—Snap—Crack——"

Under the forceful swings, branches and roots on both giant trees started breaking, bark was peeled, leaving varying depths of marks on their trunks, and milky white tree sap splattered around.

Ten minutes...

Thirty minutes...

After an hour, with Reya's tree body in tatters, he used his remaining strength to strike Wood's half-broken trunk and root junction with his thickest main root.

"No!" Wood hastily gathered all available branches and roots to block the root junction, trying to thwart Reya's move.

However, his reserve of Saint Asia's Power was nearly exhausted, and his glow was dimming.

"Boom——Crack—Crack—Crack——"

With a crisp sound of complete fracture, Wood's trunk and half its roots broke entirely, and its milky sap splashed out as its consciousness vanished, leaving only its remains writhing randomly on instinct.

"What a pity, it seems Reya isn't reckless after all."

"Yes indeed."

"No big deal, regardless of who emerges victorious between Reya and Wood, he will gain another chance to challenge. Maybe with a bit of provocation, even greater benefits can be gained."

"That also depends on how much he evolves by then. If he gets devoured unintentionally, that could be a problem."

...

The surrounding giant trees, not selected as challenge targets, buzzed with discussion, while Wood, now chosen by Reya, rose to challenge him.

"Rumble—"

The earth began to split open.

Countless thick white roots tore the ground open, appearing on the surface.

The ordinary trees around the roots were shaken and fell one by one.

Animals paying attention to the forest's commotion gathered, bowing to the two towering giant trees that had risen from the ground, temporarily 'abandoning' their original Faith in the Saint Asia Trees in reverence of the dueling giants.

Invisible streams of the Power of Faith flowed from the crowd of animals in worship, granting them substantial growth.

Reya grew from one hundred seventeen meters to one hundred thirty-nine meters.

Wood, chosen as his opponent, grew from one hundred twenty-three meters to one hundred forty-seven meters.

Both, rising from the ground, locked in the sacred battle, Saint Asia's Power nearly spent.

With a resounding crack, Wood's trunk and more than half of its roots snapped completely as its conscious faded, leaving only its remnants twisting aimlessly.

"It's a pity, Reya isn't reckless after all."

"Yeah."

"No big deal, no matter who ultimately wins between Reya and Wood, they will gain another challenge right. By then, teasing him a bit might bring even more rewards."

"That's true, but it depends on how much he evolves by then. It'll be bad if we're unexpectedly swallowed."

...

Above them, a spatial rift appeared in the sky, and thirty-four small figures emanating powerful life auras suddenly descended.
