Even though his arm blade had stopped its descent, his body still collided with Seren.
A gust of wind rose around Seren, and with a "thump", sent Black Field flying.
Black Field fell to the ground and rolled several times before coming to a stop.
Fortunately, he was protected by several shields and was not seriously injured.
However, at this moment, Seren appeared as an enraged deity, with the whole forest emitting a low, angry hum.
Black Field felt an immense oppressive force bearing down on him, and he hastily pleaded, "I'm sorry, Elder Seren, we meant no offense, we'll leave immediately."
Seren chose not to kill them but to expel them instead.
Black Field got up, turned, and walked away, not daring to linger.
After walking about a dozen meters, he turned back and asked in a low voice to the Perceiver who had followed, "What Level?"
The Perceiver shook his head, "I don't know, I can't perceive the specific level, so it's definitely more than 10 levels above mine."
A few hundred meters away.
Lu Heng and his two companions were walking towards the direction of the conflict, at a leisurely pace.
Su Muyu, having seen the energy displayed by Seren, gave a verdict similar to that of the Eagle Squad, "At least 10 levels higher than me, meaning above Level 42, with no ceiling."
This display of Energy Level probably included the forest's enhancement, but also served to show how unfathomable Seren was.
The Quel'dorei Elves are naturally friendly and since Seren is a Forester, his disposition is even more stable.
Thus even though Black Field and the others had offended him, he still chose not to kill them.
There could have been other reasons for his restraint.
After all, he had mentioned earlier that the Knowledge Ancient Tree had prophesied the coming of Humans guided by the Moon God to aid the Quel'dorei.
This meant that Black Field and his group could also fall under the guidance of the Moon God.
After this incident, at least one thing for Lu Heng was certain, Seren truly held a high Level, which fit the initial expectations of the world's hierarchy.
After Black Field and his party left, Lu Heng and the other two approached the entrance to the forest.
Seren was still there, not floating in the air any longer, but had landed on the ground. The formidable pressure he had emitted earlier had vanished, and he again looked like an aged Elf Elder.
Though I say aged, he didn't appear very old, his face was barely wrinkled, but one could still tell he was an elder.
Upon seeing Lu Heng and his companions, a hint of disappointment flashed in Seren's eyes as he asked, "Do you wish to enter as well?"
Lu Heng replied earnestly, "We would like to, of course, but we won't do so without your permission."
Seren was very satisfied with this response, returning to a kindly smile.
Lu Heng's reply was nearly perfect, first showing honesty, then conveying respect for the Forester.
To say they didn't want to enter would have been clearly false.
"What do you wish to do here, then?" Seren continued to inquire.
"I hope to have a conversation with the Elf Elders, as a form of exchange between two civilizations," Lu Heng stated his purpose.
Seren pondered for a moment, then answered, "You should go to Kolos City, find the King of the Quel'dorei."
Lu Heng nodded, "I will go, but before departing, I still hope to speak with you."
Seren exhaled, considered for a moment, then looked at Su Muyu and asked, "What is your name?"
Su Muyu blinked, then hurriedly replied, "Uh... Su Muyu."
Seren gestured towards the giant tree gate behind him, saying, "You, go inside."
Hearing this, the three of them were momentarily startled.
Su Muyu's eyes widened, not understanding what was happening.
"Just you can enter, the two of you come with me," said Seren as he took steps towards the direction of the tree house.
Su Muyu, with a puzzled look on her face, sought Lu Heng's opinion with her eyes.
Lu Heng nodded at her, then turned to follow Seren away from the giant tree gate.
Based on what had happened so far, Seren didn't seem to have any malicious intent, so there must be a different reason for letting Su Muyu enter the gate alone.
And it seemed that only Su Muyu was allowed in, according to what he implied.
As Lu Heng and his companion's figures disappeared at the end of the forest path, Su Muyu took a deep breath and turned to walk through the giant tree gate.
In front of her stood a circular gateway made of tree trunks and vines, rising tens of meters high.
It's called a gate, but it's more like a portal leading to the unknown.
The portal flickered with a faint, strange luminescence that obstructed the view; thus, what lay beyond could not be seen.
Su Muyu carefully approached, stepping slowly over the radiant barrier.
Crossing this shimmering threshold, she entered a bizarre space.
The sky was full of flowing lights, the ground covered in a substance resembling liquid in motion.
But as her feet touched the liquid, it evaporated into glimmers of light, drifting around in the air.
Right in the center of this space stood an ancient, colossal tree.
It was so old that it barely had any leaves left, but its roots were thick and imbued with a mystical aura, as if it had existed since ancient times.
In her heart, Su Muyu thought: This must be the Knowledge Ancient Tree.
Then, taking steps forward, she moved to get a clearer look at the essence of the Knowledge Ancient Tree.
