Lenore began to merge with Ocean Heart.
Luan took the Heart of the Ancient Tree and did the same.
His process took only an instant.
Now, it was as if he had another Source of power.
However, the Spirit Tree Origin was superior to that. At the moment, without this Ancient Tree Heart not evolving to at least the Fifth Order, it's almost useless to him.
Lenore was different, she was about to merge with a Fifth Order natural artifact with evolutionary power.
She had no experience merging with something like this, so it took some time under Nora's guidance.
When Lenore was about to merge, the Ocean Heart manifested its power, threatening to flood the entire Crystal Palace with water.
Nora already knew this, she created spells and a barrier around Lenore.
When to be immersed in water? Lenore had no problem, especially now that she had already partially merged with the Ocean Heart.
If the spells were created and the barrier wasn't powerful, like a bubble, it would have burst, as more and more water was appearing, wanting to expand.
Through Nora's soft voice, Lenore who was listening intently even at this moment followed her lead and began to harness her newly acquired power.
Little by little, the water that flooded the barrier around him began to return.
Time passed, and a few minutes later Lenore was able to control the Ocean Heart.
Nora took off the spells and the protective barrier.
Lenore reached out one of her hands and a sphere of water was created from the core of the sphere of water a green seed appeared and began to germinate.
Under her control, Lenore used the nutrients in the water to make a beautiful tree come to life in her palm.
"Hehe, this is interesting." Lenore was smiling brightly as she played with her newly acquired power.
She even made the water turn into blood, soon the tree that pulled the nutrient from the water became a blood tree.
Lenore actually avoids using the two together, as it would make her lose some of her own blood, but using the water source to turn it into blood, she barely used her own blood.
The branches of the blood tree are different from the normal tree, it was almost at the level of the spirit tree, in a sense more powerful since they are branches of the blood spirit tree.
Lenore couldn't be happier at that moment. As Luan said, this Ocean Heart artifact suits her perfectly.
"You have such a goofy smile," Nora teased as she touched Lenore's cheek, "Are you that happy with your father's gift?"
"Yes, a lot!" Lenore replied and went to Luan: "Father is very good to me, I am very happy with this, thank you, I love you very much."
Luan gave her a loving hug, "Mm, I'm glad you liked it so much. You can always count on me, okay?"
"Mm," Lenore nodded with a nasal sound as she hugged her father.

Since the 'apocalypse' appeared on Earth, there have been many changes.
The existence of new races is one of them.
Although the adaptation is being done in a 'smooth' way, there are almost always conflicts.
At the Alvorada Palace, and close by, there was confusion.
[The Alvorada Palace is the official residence of the President of Brazil. It is located in the national capital, Brasilia, on a peninsula on the shores of Lake Paranoá.]
Although Saulo Dimas didn't stay at the Alvorada Palace very often, as he still preferred his own hilltop retirement home, today he decided to stay put, but something happened.
The reason seems to be that Ivan Mac was arrested for human trafficking.
Ivan Mac is the leader of the crystal elves.
Crystal elves are a race that glows when exposed to sunlight, which makes them appear to be made of crystal.
The crystal elves are asking for the release of Ivan Mac, or they would continue to prevent President Saulo from entering the Palace.
They screamed for justice while claiming that Ivan Mac would never do something like this, that this is all a ruse against their leader.
Saulo, who had just arrived on the presidential jet, and was about to leave for the Palace, had a firm expression, unaffected by what was reported to him.
"Do you have proof of what he was doing, do they still have the nerve to say he was set up?" Saulo said coldly: "Warn them that they can demonstrate, but if they do something that goes against the law, I don't mind throwing them all in jail to keep their leader company!"
He was already furious with the fact that the human trade was mostly children under the age of ten, they rescued a total of a thousand, however, they were still trying to find another 3 thousand, and that's just talking about children; adult women, and men.
Is he not guilty? Ha, don't play with him, there is a lot of evidence that was collected by his grandson's trusted subordinates, you can't go wrong.
Apart from the evidence, there are videos and audio with confessions of the crime caused by the leader of the Crystal Elves, Ivan Mac.
In the video he says how much he dislikes humans, that if it weren't for being profitable, he wouldn't even want to breathe the same air, believing that the Crystal Elves were some kind of deity while humans are mere cattle, commoners at best who doesn't even have the right to carry their shoes.
This is not generalized only to humans, but against almost all other races, Ivan Mac despises all other races, only the Crystal Elves are good in his eyes.
"Is it okay to do that?" His aide asked cautiously.
Saulo was firm in his decision. If he's too soft, things can get ugly: "Yeah, do that."
Does he let someone like Ivan Mac loose? He still hasn't corrupted himself to the point of letting a criminal of that level loose after getting so much criminal evidence.
As for those who want to support him, well, they're free to do whatever they want, as long as it's within the law.
The instant they start being criminals, they don't need to worry, many places have been created for them to 'live well' for a few years.

The special force was sent, and a warning was given.
Even though they wanted their leader back, when they found out they could go to jail, although some still wanted to continue, many had families, so they ended up moving away, no longer impeding the passage.
They had even set a car on fire, preventing people from passing nearby.
That alone was enough to land them in detention.
'My grandson is back...' Saulo saw the message flash on his smartphone, it was his daughter, Maira.
Although he wanted to go see his grandson, he couldn't at the moment.

Luan went to the plantation island.
All kinds of rare herbs had already grown, ready to be harvested.
For those who weren't ready yet, Luan sped up using Spirit Tree Origin.
Even though it's not as strong as the other him, it was stronger than when he wasn't officially an Emperor yet.
Ingrid was with him helping with the harvest.
After everything was done, Ingrid looked toward Luan.
Luan's white clothes fluttered, and his handsome face wore a playful smile, looking extremely attractive as he looked at her.
Ingrid walked up to him, she leaned on his shoulder, and said in her sweet voice: "Luan, after our wedding we are going to have a child, yes?"
"Let's go." Luan agreed. He already thought about it, now more than ever he wanted to, and he had to protect his family, there was no more reason or reason to delay.
"Really, really?" Hearing him nod firmly, Ingrid got excited, she really wants to have their child, "You're not lying, are you?"
"I'm serious, I want to have a baby with you, baby." Luan touched her nose and laughed: "Let's have a cute kid to run around while enjoying life."
"Yes yes!" Ingrid got excited just imagining, "I love you, so much, my love!"
Ingrid laughed like a silver bell, her mood extremely good.

Ingrid looked down as the sounds of applause fell silent. The stone walls, luminescent with hanging torches, surrounded them as she climbed the stairs. The dark red carpet covered the floor, leading them to the altar.
The crowd, full of relatives, friends, and family, cheered as the two were about to swear their wedding vows...
When she was about to be accepted with tears in her eyes, Ingrid suddenly woke up!
"... A dream?" Ingrid didn't know how to describe her disappointment.
She sat up in bed and was still thinking about what she'd seen in her dreams. 'It felt so real...'
Luan beside her woke up. He asked gently as he sat down next to her, "Did you have a nightmare?"
Ingrid turned and looked at him. Her lips curved, and she said, "No, quite the contrary, I had a beautiful dream~"
