Residents of the territory had once learned from the Wisdom Library that some gods require their followers to pray. On a whim, some of them tried praying to the Divine Wood, but unfortunately, no one ever received a response.
"It seems Lord Divine Wood didn't want to answer their pointless prayers. But for important business like this, He still responds."
Delighted, Yuan Xiaobo copied Dong Lin and began to pray. As he did, a spatial ripple washed over him, and he, too, arrived at the foot of the World Tree.
The heroes who had returned to the territory with them followed suit, teleporting down from the World Tree Crown.
Afterward, while taking in the drastically changed territory, Yuan Xiaobo and Dong Lin headed toward the Government Affairs Center and the military center along a path they still recognized.
The territory now boasted many new, futuristic vehicles and civilian implements, but its overall layout remained unchanged.
