So much so that Lin Yi had to grit his teeth and fly for a long time, even to reach a place that was originally so close at hand.

I don’t know how long it took, the altar below had turned into an almost imperceptible black dot, hidden in layers of mist.

Just as Lin Yi was about to reach the edge of the cloud layer, he discovered that he could no longer ascend.

Lin Yi wanted to reach out and pass through the cloud layer, but what he touched was a smooth and flat wall, preventing him from advancing any further.

It seemed as if there was an invisible barrier separating the world Lin Yi was in from the cloud layer.

At the same time, high in the sky, Lin Yi also found that his health was rapidly depleting:

"-15000"

"-15000"

"-15000"

...

With a drop of 15,000 Life Value per second, Lin Yi’s current health could only support him for less than ten minutes.

Even if Lin Yi continuously drank the [Advanced Life Potion] and [Elf Holy Water], it was of no avail.

However, Lin Yi still showed no intention of giving up at this moment.

Because from this position, Lin Yi could vaguely see a dense cluster of buildings behind the cloud layer.

It was an ancient building with red tiles and white walls!!!

"Damn!"

Upon discovering this, Lin Yi even thought he was seeing things.

Unfortunately, Lin Yi’s health was running low at this moment. If he stayed any longer, he might really die from ’excessive blood loss’.

Even though he was unwilling at this moment, Lin Yi could only helplessly fall down.

If he died in the instance, he would reappear outside the [Endless Tower] after resurrection.

Now that he had discovered the secret above the cloud layer, Lin Yi didn’t want to leave this place even more.

While descending, Lin Yi’s mind constantly recalled the scene he saw behind the cloud layer.

Who would build houses above the cloud layer?

Is it a mirage?

Lin Yi didn’t know.

When Lin Yi fell back onto the altar, the lost Life Value was quickly recovering:

"+10000"

"+10000"

"..."

Lin Yi looked up at the sky, his expression filled with seriousness and a heart full of doubt.

Unknowingly, what’s concealed behind this [70] layer?

Things like:

Are those buildings above the cloud layer real;

Who was the figure I saw just now;

And what was the glow that could break through the cloud layer and cause a rune change.

Clearly, all the answers are above that cloud layer.

Just as Lin Yi was waiting for his Life Value to be fully restored and planned to explore again, at the same time, all Players were enthusiastically encircling the demons they regarded as ’mobile treasure troves’ in the Demon Forest.

But after an afternoon, the entire game’s situation was quietly undergoing some unpredictable changes.

...

...

Elf Race

Elf Divine Hall

"Her finger moved!"

"Is she about to wake up?!"

Aifula looked surprised and cried out excitedly at the small elf soaking in a transparent liquid.

She had been guarding here for several days and finally saw signs of the other party waking up.

At this time, next to Aifula, the Great Elder of the Elf Race, Gamplov, watched with a sigh of relief:

"Thank goodness."

"If she doesn’t wake up soon, she might fall into eternal sleep, leading to death."

Gamplov also noticed that this Elemental Spirit, brought by Lin Yi from the Nine Nether Continent, had its finger slightly twitching under the immersion of the Elf Holy Water.

Although the curvature wasn’t significant.

Both of them could see it clearly.

Gamplov expected that this is indeed a sign of awakening.

In fact, even Gamplov himself couldn’t imagine that this Elemental Spirit had been asleep for so long.

A lot of Elf Holy Water had been used just to soak her during this time.

Not to mention, Gamplov had spent a lot of effort to awaken her.

Honestly speaking,

If this Elemental Spirit had not been brought back by Lin Yi, Gamplov would have probably given up on trying to heal her long ago.

It was only because he had promised Lin Yi at the beginning that he would wake her up for sure.

So during this period, Gamplov spent most of his time researching and looking for ways to awaken her.

Fortunately, his efforts paid off as it seemed successful.

But now what makes Gamplov more curious is what this Elemental Spirit had gone through to end up in such a state.

Gamplov and Lin Yi both wanted to know this, and Aifula, herself an Elemental Spirit, was even more eager to find out.

Don’t forget, Aifula originally came from the Nine Nether Continent.

It was just that over a year ago, she was summoned from the Nine Nether by Lin Yi using the [Spirit Summoning Technique].

On the Nine Nether Continent, there is only one tribe of Elemental Spirits.

That means this Elemental Spirit should have originally come from the Elf Clan where Aifula once belonged.

Although Aifula has no significant impression of this Elemental Spirit in front of her, it doesn’t affect her concern for her.

Because their clan had lived in the [Demon Forest] for generations and rarely appeared in human cities.

The emergence of this Elemental Spirit and her current state left Aifula worried about her tribe’s safety.

Aifula never thought that something in the world could threaten her tribe.

But after experiencing so much with Lin Yi, Aifula gradually matured and abandoned her naive thoughts.

When Lin Yi brought this Elemental Spirit back from the Nine Nether Continent, Aifula had asked him for help in finding her community.

Unfortunately, [Demon Forest] was too vast.

With just the approximate location Aifula spoke of, Lin Yi had no clue where to start.

Moreover, during his time on the Nine Nether Continent, Lin Yi basically had no time to handle this matter.

Because during that period, various troubles kept coming, leaving Lin Yi overwhelmed.

When Lin Yi couldn’t help, Aifula could only rely on this sleeping Elemental Spirit to learn about her tribe and her mother’s current situation.

She worried that in her absence, something unfortunate might have happened to her tribe.

Soon the Elemental Spirit, wearing a green gauze dress and only the size of a palm, twitched her fingers more frequently.

This scene left Aifula with wide-eyed excitement:

"It’s responsive, it’s responsive."

Aifula excitedly rubbed her hands. In her anxious wait, the little elf finally slowly opened her tiny eyes.

As the scene in front of her gradually transitioned from darkness to brightness, Miliyan’s consciousness was gradually returning to her body.

At the same time, a series of questions were surfacing in Miliyan’s mind:

’Am I dead?’

’Where is this place? Such a comfortable feeling!’

’Huh, who is that? Why do they look so much like Miss?’

’Strange! Is she calling me?’

...

Aifula looked into those somewhat blank blue eyes and anxiously asked:

"Do you remember who you are?"

"Do you know who I am?"

"Speak up! Why aren’t you speaking?"

...

Aifula had called out for quite a while, seeing the other party simply staring blankly at her. Unable to help it, she anxiously looked at Gamplov:

"Elder Grandpa, is she okay?"

"Look at her..."

Before she could finish speaking, Aifula suddenly felt something hug her.

Just as Aifula was startled and screamed, a voice that was both excited and somewhat at a loss reached her ears:

"Are you Miss Aifula?"

Upon hearing this, Aifula also looked at the other party excitedly:

"You know me?"

"I am Aifula, and you are..."

After receiving Aifula’s affirmation, the other party first introduced herself:

"Reporting to Miss, my name is Miliyan."

Then she was overwhelmed with joy and tears:

"Great! I finally found you, Miss, woooo~"

However, seeing this scene, Aifula felt an ominous premonition rising in her heart:

"Miliyan, do you have something to tell me?"
