After leaving the Natural Sanctuary through the teleportation gate made of vines, Herbert did not immediately return to Elda but was instead transported by Fulingya to a place that was somewhat unfamiliar.
Towering ancient trees surrounded him, and a slightly melancholic and silent familiar atmosphere pervaded the air.
The Forgotten Forest.
And not far from the ruins of the Beast Ear Clan's village.
The God of Sand and Stone, who secretly plotted everything, has fallen. No one is watching this place anymore, and it has returned to being a land without an owner.
Strictly speaking, there are no opposing voices within the Natural Pantheon anymore, and Fulingya has temporarily grasped the real authority of the Pantheon, which is enough to completely retrieve all the hardships she faced in the previous struggles.
As one of the victims of that power struggle, the affected Beast Ear Clan is now safe. They can even return to their homeland and continue to live in the Forgotten Forest.
