"It's hopeless; might as well wait for death. Farewell."
The World Tree was completely withered, devoid of any green, lacking any signs of life. Tang Yu thought to himself, if things were indeed dire, it was time to head back home.
But the Great Sage was excited.
He was also a distant relative of the Royal Family, which was the only reason he was qualified for the position of Great Sage. For him, the World Tree was faith itself, almost everything for the Aino Royal Family.
"It's still alive; It's still alive!"
With his face full of wrinkles, the Great Sage danced with joy as if he were ready to fly straight to the World Tree. He leapt from the ground, his body poised to fly, and then... thud, he fell to the ground.
He remembered he no longer had the ability to fly.
The Great Sage's face flushed with embarrassment, and his zeal cooled slightly.
"You should head back, sir. We are well aware of the specific steps to revive the World Tree."
