In the midst of chaos and darkness, Fade slowly opened his eyes. However, he could not see any light in the darkness.

"I repaired the gap in the World Tree and fainted." He recalled previous events.

"Where am I? Am I dead?" He had doubts.

At that moment, he suddenly felt a sense of weightlessness and quickly fell down.

Then, with a light splash, he felt that he fell into the water.

He struggled to the surface of the water with the help of his limbs.

Coming out of the water's surface, Fade saw a vast blue water, surrounded by nothing.

"Where is this? The sea? Am I still on the earth?" Questions arose in his heart.

Just then, he felt a slight tremor in his lower abdomen, as if someone had injected a stream of energy into his body.

He immediately examined his body with his internal vision.

The condition of his muscles was not bad, and his positive energy was still there. However, the elixir core in his lower abdomen was empty, with only a few wisps of light green lingering and swirling in it. "Did I lose the elixir core?"

As Fade thought so, he began to check his spiritual consciousness.

A small, white, sun- like Ice Soul Pearl was suspended with no movement.

Below, there was a thin layer of liquid in his dried-up spiritual consciousness. This liquid was Fade's soul energy.

He had consumed too much soul energy while controlling the Ice Soul Pearl.

However, the recovery speed of the Ice Soul Pearl was much slower than that of ordinary positive energy.

It took him an unknown amount of time to recover from the thin layer.

Then, Fade shot out a stream of positive energy.

He forced a smile and shook his head.

Because of the loss of his elixir core, he had fallen to the peak stage of the Heaven Level.

However, he tested the strength of his body again, and he finally felt a little relieved.

Previously, he'd reached the fourth level of the Physical Refine Realm, and his body had been refined very well. Fortunately, the loss of the elixir core didn't really affect his body's strength. Even a Lord Level martial artist might not be able to withstand his punch.

After confirming his condition, Fade looked around to replace a direction to leave.

After all, being immersed in the sea like this was not a good choice.

Just then, he suddenly felt that the green strands of energy in his abdomen suddenly began to move. There seemed to be a faint connection with something.

"This... This is..." Following this faint feeling, Fade turned his head.

Then, there was a look of surprise in his eyes.

A huge tree was growing in the seawater that spanned a kilometer behind him.

There were no roots in the deep sea. The top could not be seen from the sky either.

The whole tree presented itself into a semitransparent state, with looming fluctuations, like mirages.

"This is the World Tree. It has been repaired. I am still on Earth." Fade suddenly realized.

Moreover, that vague feeling became sharper.

"My elixir core is connected to the World Tree." Fade's heart jolted as he went closer to comprehend it. This inspiration made him both happy and sad.

He was happy because he could still form a connection with his elixir core. It was not completely lost.

The saddest thing was that although he could still feel the elixir core, it had completely integrated with the World Tree. He couldn't control it.

"What's going on?" Fade was also a little confused for a moment.

"The elixir core can still form connections, but I can't control it. I can no longer comprehend or refine the elixir core."

Fade did not know if it was good news.

"Or rather, after my elixir core is completely fused with it, the World Tree will become my core." Fade suddenly thought as he hurriedly tried to absorb it. The result was obviously a failure.

However, Fade was looking forward to it. "Perhaps when I am strong enough, I can take back this special elixir core!"

Then, he felt a burst of exhaustion and no longer stayed there. He turned and swam in the opposite direction.

After about a day's swimming, he faintly saw the shadow of land.

"If I swim a bit more, I should be able to go ashore." He continued moving.

Not long after, rumbling sounds of engines could be heard.

Fade turned his head and found a fishing boat approaching him.

"Young man, why are you here? Are you Chinese?"

On the fishing boat, someone dropped a life jacket, and at the same time, a tanned, middle-aged man asked.

Fade was flustered. He grabbed the life jacket and boarded the fishing boat.

"Thank you. Yes, I am Chinese," Fade said.

Upon hearing that Fade was a Chinese man, the middle-aged man became more enthusiastic and hurriedly asked him to change his clothes.

Soon, Fade took a shower and changed his clothes.

The middle-aged man also brought a bowl of hot soup and kindly asked, "Young man, what's your name? Where are you from? Why are you here?"

Fade paused for a moment before

he said, "Just call me Fade. I'm from Capital City. I went on a sea trip and didn't expect to encounter an accident. As a result, I was trapped here."

"An accident. Young man, you are really unlucky." The middle-aged man sighed and then patted his chest and said, "However, you are lucky to meet me, I am Yezel Yeu. My boat will reach the shore tomorrow morning."

"Thank you, Brother Yezel!" Fade said.

At this moment, a sailor hurriedly ran in and said to the middle-aged man, "Bad news. There's a school of eels, and there are at least a few thousand of them. I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on."

"What!" Yezel was shocked and quickly got up. "Go and get Zylan to settle it." After that, he had no time to say goodbye to Fade and left the cabin in a hurry.

Fade, on the other hand, was curious. "A school of eels? Isn't that a good thing? If we fish up a net, we can get a lot of resources! Why are they so nervous?" Thinking of this, he also went out of the cabin.

At that moment, on the hook of the fishing boat, more than a dozen fishermen were nervously arranging fishing nets, fishing forks, and other tools.

These seemed normal. However, when Fade saw that Yezel took out several black guns, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Is it allowed to fish with guns?"
