Chapter 651: Green Sun
After emerging from Lorianne’s magic tower, Sein stepped onto the dry, gray land.
Gazing at the greenish planet hanging in the starry sky nearby, he sighed. “A microplane inaccessible to creatures of Rank Four and above, huh?”
***
The Divine Tower of Verdant Spring launched its attack with swift precision.
Three days later, Lorianne appeared outside the Verdant Leaf World, fully prepared with a verdant green magic rod in her clutch.
Sein recalled seeing it during the Viridian Venom Flame World War, where his mentor had wielded it against a Neisse Civilization’s Rank Four construct and had used it to cast a forbidden spell.
At this moment, Lorianne in the starry sky obviously had no intention of unleashing a forbidden spell.
Plundering the plane’s riches was better than annihilating a world.
A complex and lengthy incantation flowed from Lorianne’s lips.
Sein could not discern the tone or the words clearly, but he knew Lorianne was not merely reciting; she was rearranging and reorganizing the elemental energy before her in the starry expanse through a special method!
The mages of Magus World were masters of elemental energy manipulation. It was only natural for those of Rank Four and above to showcase skill far beyond the reach of ordinary, lower-ranking mages.
Admist Lorianne’s incantation, a green vortex slowly materialized in the starry sky.
Verdant, cone-shaped spikes began to emerge from within the swirling mass.
The rich dendro elemental energies in the vicinity suggested that employing dendro elemental spells now would be extremely effective.
Lorianne hovered in the sky until she directed her magic rod toward Verdant Leaf World.

Today was an unimaginable day for the creatures of Verdant Leaf World, one that would be remembered for years to come.
At some point, a green sun had appeared in the originally blue sky, symbolizing both absurdity and an ominous presence.
Most creatures of Verdant Leaf World, capable of judgment and thought, sensed danger in this anomaly.
This microplane had existed peacefully for thousands of years, a haven where plant life and a diverse array of insect creatures had long been free from overt conflict.
The microplanes that had begun to engage with entities beyond their homeplane—exploring nearby demiplanes, broken planes, and the asteroid belt in the void—had reached the pinnacle of microplane existence and were on the verge of transitioning to the low-level planes.
Such advancements were typically triggered by either a technological civilization that had evolved significantly or the emergence of a Rank Four god within the plane.
Guided by such a god, they slowly gained a clear understanding of the surrounding stars and their civilization’s place within them, marking the beginning of their civilization’s ascent!
The Magus World was no exception in its early days.
Nearly all of the top-tier civilizations originated from micro or low-level planes.
The appearance of the green sun was a startling phenomenon for the uninformed natives of Verdant Leaf World, leaving them confused and unprepared.
However, the true leaders of Verdant Leaf World likely understood the situation.
Before the Bamboo Leaf Dragonfly King could rest, having just returned to the capital city from meeting the guardian, it noticed the green sun in the sky too.
The formidable Rank Three life level enabled the Bamboo Leaf Dragonfly King to perceive the enormity and menace of the green sun far more acutely than the uninformed native creatures of Verdant Leaf World.
It was clear that the “sun” was not something its small form could withstand.
From this ominous green sun, the Bamboo Leaf Dragonfly King sensed an impending, terrifying crisis that would soon unfold.
Without delay, it gently pushed aside his favored dragonfly consort and spread his wings, flying directly toward the lush mountains to the north of the royal city.
These mountains served as the ancestral lands of the Bamboo Leaf Dragonfly Clan and were considered sacred within the plane.
Here, the rich dendro elemental aura interwove with the lush greeneries.
There were no more than three places in the entire Verdant Leaf World where elemental concentrations were richer, one being the guardian’s dwelling.
The other two were nestled in the remote forests in the western and northern parts of the plane.
As the ruler, the Bamboo Leaf Dragonfly King was privy to certain secrets of this world.
For instance, in each of those remote locations, there thrived an ancient plant as venerable as the Ancient Verdant Banyan.
These plants had observed the plane’s history for tens of thousands of years, standing as living fossils.
Among the Bamboo Leaf Dragonfly Clan, only their two ancestors could rival the strength of those two ancient plants.
