<h4>Chapter 647: Verdant Leaf World</h4>


    <i>Verdant Leaf World.</i>


    That was the name Lorianne bestowed upon the microne upon its discovery.


    She chose the name for its lush vegetation, withnd vegetation coverage nearing seventy percent.


    In the oceans, a significant variety of marine nts thrived as well, covering seventy percent of the entire world map.


    Water was indeed the source of life.


    Originally, this microne was known as the “Bamboo Leaf Dragonfly World”, named after its primary inhabitants, the “Bamboo Leaf Dragonfly n”.


    It wasmon for the dominant intelligent race of a world to imprint its identity onto its homene’s name.


    However, the Bamboo Leaf Dragonfly n was not the sole race in Verdant Leaf World.


    This dendro elemental ne was home to a diverse array of nt and flesh creatures. Among thetter, the Bamboo Lead Dragonflies represented thergest insectoid species in this world.


    The most abundant beings here were various nt creatures, inherently gentle and disinclined toward conflict or grouping.


    The Bamboo Leaf Dragonfly n had only established themselves as the dominant group in the microne by defeating other threatening insectoid species.


    ording to the ne’s naturalws, the Bamboo Leaf Dragonfly n would eventually produce a Rank Four creature if the current trends persisted.


    Such an advancement would elevate the microne to its its low-level status, solidifying the n’s supremacy as acknowledged by the nar will.


    Yet, the n had not achieved the ability to produce Rank Four creatures.


    Although there was a demigod among its ranks, that creature was still far from reaching Rank Four, having only emerged several centuries ago.


    In contrast, the ancient, verdant trees of Verdant Leaf World, with their deep roots entrenched in fertile soil for thousands, if not tens of thousands, of years, hold the true potential to evolve into Rank Four creatures.


    The longevity of nt creatures was well known throughout the Astral Realm.


    Undead and elemental creatures were known to have the longest lifespans.


    Conversely, the creatures of flesh and blood, which popted the vast majority of the Astral Realm’s billions of nes, typically have shorter lifespans.


    In the advanced Magus Civilization, Rank One knights and mages typically lived only about a thousand years.


    To achieve a lifespan exceeding ten thousand years, one must ascend to at least Rank Four.


    In the Verdant Leaf World, over a dozen nt creatures had lived for more than ten thousand years, and most of them had reached at least Rank Three life level.


    Over time, these ancient nt beings developed significant intelligence and cognitive abilities.


    Among them, the Ancient Verdant Banyan in the southeast stood as one of the oldest and most powerful trees.


    It was not only a formidable force due to its immense root system that prated thousands of meters into the ground, but it was also revered as the guardian of Verdant Leaf World by countless inhabitants!


    The sky over Verdant Leaf World was clear today.


    This microne had a single sun by day but two moons by night. Its warm and peaceful environment fostered a sense of liberty throughout the Verdant Leaf World.


    Yet, amidst this tranquil setting, the guardian—an ancient banyan tree—sensed a brewing danger and an impending storm.


    A two-meter-tall Bamboo Leaf Dragonfly strode confidently toward the ancient tree. Armed with an arm de, it led a procession of nearly two thousand followers.


    Behind it,dybug maids lifted its cloak and scattered flower petals.


    This regal Bamboo Leaf Dragonfly was the current monarch of its n and possessed Rank Three strength.


    A month ago, it was urgently summoned by the guardian from Verdant Green, the capital of the Bamboo Leaf Dragonfly n’s territory.


    Had there been more time and less need for restraint and respect in the presence of the guardian, the king would have orchestrated a far grander arrival.


    The king was not the strongest member of the Bamboo Leaf Dragonfly n; above it stood a demigod-level ancestor who had ascended to this rank hundreds of years ago, but had since withdrawn from worldly affairs.


    Despite this, the king’s royal status enabled him to rapidly mobilize the majority of the n’s forces whenever necessary.


    “Honorable Guardian, why have you summoned me here?” the Rank Three Bamboo Leaf Dragonfly King asked, gazing up at the colossal tree before him.


    In stark contrast to the king’s modest two-meter stature, the Ancient Verdant Banyan towered nearly ten thousand meters above the ground.


    The grandeur of the demigod-level nt was beyond theprehension of ordinary, low-level creatures. With the power ofw enhancing its strength, it was likely the strongest being in the Verdant Leaf World.


    Yet, in this moment, the powerful guardian betrayed a flicker of uncertainty and fear.


    “Over the long years, I''ve begun to grasp the verdant truths. But recently, disturbances from the nar will and a foreboding meteor from the skies have cast shadows over my senses,” it said slowly.


    “What concerns you so deeply that you feltpelled to warn us, Guardian?” the Bamboo Leaf Dragonfly King asked curiously.


    An old, wise face materialized on the brown trunk of the Ancient Verdant Banyan, and with a deep sigh, it replied, “mes will sweep through our beautiful world, causing countless beings to tremble.”


    The Bamboo Leaf Dragonfly King’s eyes narrowed at the guardian’s ominous words.


    “Is this disasterparable to the meteor impact two hundred years ago that led to the destruction of a quarter of the forests east of the Chiral Range and the loss of millions of lives?” it asked.


    “Thankfully, with the valiant efforts of our Bamboo Leaf Dragonfly n''smander and your coordination with the other tree giants, we extinguished the fire and suppressed the otherworldly violet me within twenty years. In the centuries that followed, the ravagednd was rejuvenated, returning to its verdant state,” he added, proudly holding its head high.


    Indeed, it had every reason to be proud. After all, the figure who had led the Bamboo Leaf Dragonfly n and the other races of this ne in quelling the extranar evil me was none other than this wise and heroic king.


    It was surely an iconic figure for the annals of Bamboo Leaf Dragonfly n’s royal history, rivaling those few ancestors who had achieved demigod status.


    Its deeds were the kind that would inspire songs among the Bamboo Leaf Dragonflies for generations toe.
