Red Dragon seeks his position in both realms.

"You mean the earth will crack?"

The Great Tree Sage immediately understood Winters' meaning, and his tree face became serious.

According to various rumors circulating in this world, it's not entirely wrong to say that the earth is the mother of the tree spirits; it's just that Winters' statement was too direct.

Of course, the wise tree wouldn't care about such things.

The tree spirit takes all changes to the earth seriously.

Winters told the Great Tree Sage all the information he had received from the devil, but omitted things like the Golden Land and the Pleiades' magic.

It emphasized the news that the Abyss Rift would appear in the Wilderness three years later.

"So you've come here now so I can verify whether that devil is lying?"

After learning what had happened, the wise man of the great tree asked Winters for his opinion.

Winters nodded.

Understanding Winters' meaning, the Great Tree Sage closed his eyes, and the branches and leaves of the canopy began to sway.

The deep roots began to wriggle downwards, with hundreds of roots running beneath the soil and stretching towards the Earth's core.

At the same time, the vines beside the branches of the wise tree began to tighten and sway.

As a result, the trees throughout the mountain forest began to tremble slightly, making a rustling sound.

The wise tree extends its perception downwards along its countless roots.

The tremors subsided after a while.

The wise tree opened its eyes and said to Winters in a rather solemn tone:

  

"Winters, your news is probably true."

Abyssal rifts really do appear in the wilderness!

The wise tree's tone grew increasingly heavy, and the vines that had been swaying casually earlier stopped moving.

"My friend sensed a small patch of foul air from beneath the eastern strata of the wilderness."

Having received definitive confirmation, Winters was now at peace with himself and began to consider retiring.

He's going to run away!

Once the abyssal rift appears, there will be no peace in this desolate land. As those demons crawl out of the abyss, the desolate land will surely suffer.

The demons are all bloodthirsty and warlike, and they are bloodthirsty by nature. If they came to the Prime Material Plane, they would surely slaughter living beings on a large scale.

Meanwhile, powerful forces near the wilderness will undoubtedly send strong individuals and armies to suppress the abyss rift once they become aware of its existence.

At that time, the wilderness will surely become a meat grinder for both sides.

Of course, we cannot retreat hastily like this; we must retreat in a planned and reasonable manner, step by step.

"Leave after my period of slumber."

Winters made up his mind.

Of course, the three years mentioned by the devil can't be taken seriously; he might just be setting him up here.

The exact time still needs to be verified, but it's always good to be prepared in advance.

The great tree, the wise one, bowed its canopy downwards, solemnly paying homage to Winters:

"Thank you so much for bringing me this news. This matter concerns the lives of all the creatures in the entire wilderness. I am extremely grateful."

He paused briefly, then asked, "Would Winters allow me to pass this message on to the other creatures in the wilderness?"

Clearly, the Great Tree Sage wanted to spread the word about this matter, so that more living beings would know about the Abyss Rift and reduce casualties.

The wise tree is still kind.

"Can."

Winters agreed very readily.

He had gotten the information he wanted, and he didn't care about anything else that was irrelevant.

Once the news spreads, the major powers surrounding the wilderness will naturally investigate and deploy defenses, perhaps resolving this crisis ahead of time without anyone noticing.

If that's the case, he won't even need to evacuate.

Seeing that he agreed, the wise tree nodded and said no more.

However, he still needed to be grateful to Winters, since the other party had told him such important information.

It will also notify all living beings living in the wilderness.

As he was thinking this, a bright green leaf drifted down from the treetop and landed on Winters.

What followed was the explanation from the wise man of the great tree.

"These are the leaves of the sage plant that grow on my body. If you are injured, you can take them; they will help you recover."

The wise tree added a sentence, letting Winters know the value and efficacy of this leaf.

"If one is severely injured and on the verge of death, taking this can prolong their life."

Winters didn't stand on ceremony and swallowed the green leaf, storing it in his stomach.

Having an extra trump card is a good thing for him.

Having finished his business, he had no intention of lingering with the Great Tree Sage and immediately took his leave.

The news has been confirmed, and there are many things that need to be done in the territory, so there can be no delay.

As the red dragon's figure disappeared into the horizon, the wise tree slowly closed his eyes.

His thoughts traveled along the intricate network of tree roots, spreading towards the verdant valley and the surrounding forest.

There is only one command.

"Keep an eye on that little red dragon, and watch for any aura of the God of Light around it."

The wise tree had not given up hope; he did not believe that the little red dragon Winters would devoutly believe in the false god of light.

If not, then he still has a chance.

"I was the one who contacted Winters first, so why should the God of Light be allowed to intercept me?"

In the wilderness, his strength was enough to make him a local overlord. As long as the Church of Light did not send out a Saint-level expert, he was not afraid.

The title "Great Tree Sage" doesn't really describe him specifically; it's just that everyone has called him that for hundreds of years, and he's gotten used to it.

To be more precise, he should be called the Sage of the Forest, and the entire valley and the surrounding forest are part of him.

As the command was generated, the trees all over the mountains and plains trembled slightly, extending for hundreds of miles around the Great Tree Sage.

Countless tree roots began to intertwine, conveying instructions.

After conveying the command, the Great Tree Sage's mind began to become devout.

He began to pray in a low voice to the supreme being of the wilderness, reporting the news of the abyss rift's appearance and its causes and consequences to the god of the wilderness.

At the same time, it was emphasized to the Wild God that it was Winters, this kind red dragon, who kindly informed them of the Abyss Rift, indicating that he was a kind dragon unlike ordinary red dragons.

Because his message saved thousands of lives, people hoped that divine grace would be bestowed upon him and that he would be embraced.

……

Meanwhile, Winters has flown directly back to the Green Valley territory.

As soon as he arrived, he summoned Kru and Walker, who were still preaching, and began to arrange the defenses and evacuation plan.

The plan was to remove most of the movable resources from the valley, especially food, weapons, and tools, and several withdrawal routes were proposed.

In case the abyss rift erupts prematurely, he will have the confidence to withdraw at any time.

Of course, if the abyssal rift suddenly erupts and his territory cannot take away so many supplies, he will order the immediate evacuation of all his subjects.

If the situation were any more critical, he might just run away on his own.

After clarifying the main issues, Winters then entrusted the minor details to Walker and Crew.

He then returned to the dragon's nest and began to cultivate.

The news of the Abyss Rift made him subconsciously want to improve his strength, and he unconsciously began to cultivate diligently.

Just as he was circulating his magical power for the thirteenth time, he suddenly felt a sense of weariness.

An irresistible drowsiness washed over me.

A sense of weariness washed over him, his eyelids felt heavy, and even the flow of his magical energy involuntarily slowed down.

Winters felt a chill run down his spine.

His hibernation period will probably come earlier than expected.

He needs to find a safe place to rest as soon as possible, and also needs to advance to the second level of fetal breathing as soon as possible.
