I reign supreme in the Western fantasy world for eternity.

Earlier, under the vine-covered canopy of the Flower Sea Mountains.

Amy was still diligently drawing the magic circle, preparing to release the fourth forbidden spell.

She had considered using the earth magic "Earth Flow" to dig her way out, but she ran into a root system after digging for a short while, which was as hard as vines.

So they had no choice but to stay and work on the difficult problem of "using forbidden spells to destroy the vines".

The magic consumption of the Four Elements Resonance Forbidden Spell far exceeded her expectations. Fortunately, thanks to her previous continuous adjustment of her breathing, she managed to maintain the energy required for casting the spell.

As Lila helped her, she asked, "Sister Amy, will it work this time?"

Amy smiled and said, "There won't be any problem."

"But you said the same thing the previous times you released forbidden spells."

"This time is different. This time it's a forbidden spell that resonates with all four elements. Water, fire, earth, and wind—all four elements combined—the power increases exponentially! I'm confident that even a legendary mage would be severely injured if they took this attack head-on."

"What if it still doesn't succeed?"

Amy sighed, "Then we'll have to eat flower petals for the rest of our lives. It's a pity I can't open my spatial ring. I have so many good things stored inside—spices from Lion Fang City, candied fruit from the Elven Court, dried meat from the 'Royal Capital'... it's all in there, and I can't take out a single piece."

Lila was shocked. "Human jerky from the royal capital?! That's too cruel! Doesn't the church care?"

"The church doesn't care; they eat it themselves."

Seeing Lila's "it's getting dark" expression, Amy smiled and waved her hand, explaining:

"Don't worry, it's just an old shop called 'Royal Capital People' located near the Royal Capital Magic Academy. It's said to have existed before the current kingdom was even founded, so the name has never been changed."

"Phew~ I see. But actually, I think the flower petals are quite delicious."

"You're still young, your taste buds haven't been completely destroyed yet. After you spend another ten years or so in the North, you'll understand my obsession with a proper roast meat."

That being said, Amy found herself developing a strange feeling for the flower petals.

Although eating flower petals every day was monotonous, she had actually begun to distinguish the different textures of petals from different parts of the petal:

The ones near the root are astringent, while those at the top are sweeter. The ones that have been sun-dried all day have a slightly nut-like, caramelized flavor when chewed.

In the past, she would never have believed that she could develop such a bond with a petal.

"Sigh, if I could go out, the first thing I would do is find a restaurant, order a whole table of dishes, and eat from beginning to end."

"You'll choke to death," Lila warned.

"Even being stuffed is a kind of romance. Alright, hurry up and get away from your parents. I'm about to unleash a forbidden spell."

Once Lila and her family were out of sight, Amy held her breath and began to channel her magic once more.

The surrounding air began to distort, and the colors of the four elements converged, swirled, and merged around her.

The fourth round of forbidden spells, activated!

boom--!

Four-colored beams of light burst forth from her magic circle, shooting straight up to the dome.

The four elements of water, fire, earth, and wind intertwined, collided, and resonated in mid-air, transforming into an ever-expanding colorful vortex that crashed violently into the vine-covered sky.

The entire valley trembled, and the rubble on the ground bounced half a foot high. Lila and her mother were pulled into Aurelius's arms and protected.

Smoke and dust obscured the sun!

A slit about ten feet wide was torn open in the vine, and light poured in from the outside, shining on Amy's face.

The emerald green vines wriggled as if they were alive, and new fine threads quickly sprouted from the broken edges, intertwining, entwining, and healing.

As the smoke and dust cleared, the sky returned to its original state.

"Damn it!"

Amy stomped her feet in anger, wishing she could grow a pair of elf-like pointed ears.

She had heard from the Adventurers' Guild that the elves possessed ancient secret arts that could control plant growth. If she had that ability, she would have already cut these vines down like chives.

However, these vines are incredibly resilient; if a dwarf master were to forge armor for them, it might even be more effective than armor made from dragon scales.

Unfortunately, she can't even do the cutting now.

"Am I really going to live off flowers for the rest of my life? Perhaps I should try taking Lila and her family through that door?"

Just as I was thinking this, bolts of lightning suddenly struck down from the outer edge of the sky at the same time, and silvery-white light pierced through the gaps in the vines, tearing the emerald green branches and leaves into pieces.

A torrent of spiritual energy surged in from the crack like a burst dam, filling the entire mountain range!

Amy was about to lead the Aurelius family away when she sadly discovered that the lightning was too powerful, and she herself was unable to leave.

Left with no other option, she tried opening the spatial ring again and was surprised to find that it was actually usable.

She didn't even bother to think about what was going on, and simply dumped everything from the ring onto the campsite.

Before long, the lightning dissipated, the vines grew back, and everything returned to normal.

Lila rushed over from a distance, calling out, "Sister Amy, that was so loud! Are you alright? Are you hurt?"

"I'm fine. Come and have dinner with your family." Amy was truly at her wit's end with this cage woven from vines, so she simply gave up struggling.

Since all the food in the spatial ring has already been taken out, let's eat first.

……

Ji Tian had a dream.

He dreamed that he had become a sacred mountain, supporting heaven and earth.

But from some point onward, the sky began to collapse again, pressing down on him, with the Milky Way pouring down, accompanied by soft, sweet laughter.

"Hehe~ Your only rest time is drinking water..."

Ji Tian suddenly opened his eyes.

His eyes fell upon an unfamiliar wooden ceiling, and a silver-white head was fast asleep, its head resting on his chest.

A glistening drool hung from the corner of his mouth, visibly soaking the fabric of his shirt.

He raised his hand and gently tapped her on the head.

"Lilith?"

"Hmm? Begging won't help~ It's my turn now."

Lilith mumbled something indistinctly, buried her face in his chest, and then stopped moving.

Ji Tian, ​​expressionless, reached out and grabbed the back of her collar, lifting her up like a kitten.

The fluffy, silvery-white head swayed in the air before reluctantly opening one eye.

"Huh? You're awake?" She blinked, then blinked again. "...Where am I?"

"I have another question for you."

Lilith's gaze swept around the room before focusing back on Ji Tian's face, and she slowly recalled something.

"Oh, right! It was Elena who brought you to the inn in the nearby town. After you passed out, she held you and sat at the foot of the Holy Mountain for a full hour before standing up. However, Elena hadn't slept for the two weeks we were in the World Tree, so she fell asleep in the next room."

"Where is Ophelia?"

"Sister Ophelia, she feels she can't control her cultivation level anymore, so she went to meditate in the room next door. Oh, by the way, Sister Elena asked me to keep an eye on you."

"So you stayed by the bedside and fell asleep?"

Lilith's face flushed red.

"I... I was just tactically closing my eyes! I only meant to doze off for a little while, but your chest was so warm, soft, and comfortable..."

Seeing Ji Tian's noncommittal expression, Lilith changed the subject:

"By the way, do you remember what you promised me?"
