Chapter 586: Where Did The Wine Come From?
“Everyone, that river is not moldy or rancid. It is the golden river! As long as you take a sip, you will be able to advance to gold-tier directly. If you soak your body in that river, you will also be able to obtain a powerful attack and defense comparable to a gold-tier weapon,” Watson explained. His voice was not loud, but every elf heard it.
“If you drink it, you can turn into a gold-tier elite. If you soak in it, you can gain a defense comparable to that of a gold-tier weapon. Who would believe it?”
“If you don’t believe me, you can try it.”
Watson stretched out his hand. Immediately, some elves stood out unwillingly. In just a moment, they caught an ordinary mouse. “I’ve checked that mouse; there’s no problem with it. If it doesn’t get stronger after drinking from the river, it proves that you’re lying. I want you to kneel and apologize to me.”
“Sure.” Watson nodded. “Then what if I am not lying?”
“Shall I kneel and apologize to you?”
Then, the elf threw the mouse in his hand into the river.
In just a moment, the rat struggled in the river and sank. The elf immediately revealed a smug smile. “See, you’re just talking big. Now, I want you to kneel and admit your mistake! Of course, it’s fine if you don’t want to kneel. You can give me that beautiful woman beside you as compensation.”
The elf’s eyes were filled with greed as he pointed at Nia. His actions caused a cold glint to flash in Watson’s eyes.
“The time is not up yet. Why are you in such a hurry? Now, look at the rat in the water.”
The elves looked in the direction that he had pointed. Soon, they gasped.
“That rat is not dead! It seems to be swimming in the river.”

“Look, it’s much bigger now. The color of its body has changed from gray to gold, and it has even grown wings! This is too shocking.”
Everyone was even more shocked when the rat flew upward. Its entire body was golden, as if it were made of gold. A pair of huge golden wings on its back flapped gently, and a powerful aura spread out in all directions. There was no doubt that the rat had become a gold-tier magical beast after drinking from the river.
“How could that be?” The elf was dumbfounded.
“A bet is a bet. Now, it’s time for you to kneel and admit your mistake.”
Watson chuckled. The elf pursed his lips. His face was burning hot, and he was hesitating whether or not to kneel.
“I will keep my word. I’ve lost.” After a moment of silence, the elf gritted his teeth and knelt toward Watson.
Watson did not want to find any more trouble with the elf. He turned around and left.
“I didn’t expect that river to have such a powerful effect. I remember the last time I came here, it did not have such an effect. They have a flying city and the golden river. The humans in the fortress city are too lucky.”
After witnessing the effects of the golden river, the elves came to the riverside and drank from it. They had never seen such a precious treasure. It might even be comparable to the Spring of Life. However, it looked like an ordinary river.
If it were not for the war, the elves would not have been able to drink from the Spring of Life. However, they could drink that for the rest of their lives. There were already elves who were planning to conquer the Holy Dragon Kingdom. They would have to make a few golden rivers to reach the Elven Kingdom.
“This water is so delicious.” An elf who had drunk from the river wiped his mouth and could not help but exclaim in admiration. “Just the clear and refreshing taste alone can make me drink a lot. Furthermore, I feel much better after drinking it.”
“Seriously? I’ll try it too. Wow, it’s really true.”
“Everyone, this is the Holy Dragon Kingdom. It’s better to drink less.” The Elven King coughed and said with dignity, “See, many soldiers come to the riverside to drink from it, and some even took off their armor and jumped into the river. The scene was a bit chaotic.”
After all, that was not his kingdom. It would be terrible if someone poisoned the water. Furthermore, those elves said that the water was delicious. How delicious could river water be?
“Your Majesty, the water is really delicious. Try it.”
The elven Elder, Landon, used ice magic to create a simple cup. He held the cup in his hand and handed it to the Elven King.

The Elven King took the cup and took a sip even though he did not want to drink it. After taking a sip, his eyes instantly widened. “That taste—”
“Isn’t it delicious? This is the first time I’ve drank water from the river. Nothing was added to it, but it has a refreshing sweetness. I felt better after drinking it.”
“Go and get me another cup.”
The Elven King, who was filled with hostility toward the golden river water just a moment ago and thought that the water was dirty and unhygienic, also became intoxicated.
In just a few minutes, all the elves sat on the bank of the river and enjoyed the water. All of them looked intoxicated, including the Elven King, who was holding a cup and tasting it carefully. Soon, he snapped back to his senses and realized something was wrong. He slammed the cup onto the ground.
Crack!
“We are here to attack the fortress city. Why are we staying by the river bank? Get up!”
“Well, Your Majesty, don’t be so anxious. Delta said that the planetary fortress would take half a day to get here. Instead of searching like a headless fly, we might as well eat something here! Let’s first try the bamboo rat that I roasted. That bamboo rat is a gold-tier magical beast that has consumed the river water. Its meat is fresh, tender, and full of nutrients. You won’t be able to eat it anywhere else.”
Some of the elves beside him had already started a fire to roast some gold-tier magical beasts to eat. Among them, Pagani placed a skewer of freshly roasted bamboo rats in front of him and blew on it before passing it to the Elven King.
The Elven King did not want to eat it at first, but the surface of the gold-tier bamboo rats gave off a golden light and had crispy skin. Coupled with the continuous fragrance of the meat, he could not help but swallow his saliva and take a small bite of it.
“This meat is so delicious.” Like an elf who loved nature, their cooking methods were particular about maintaining the original flavor of the ingredients. They rarely used fire, and even if they did use fire, they would only roast it slightly. The meat in front of him was roasted to the right temperature. It was filled with the fresh fragrance of plants. Perhaps he had consumed the golden river water that he felt completely different, but that was the first time he had eaten such delicious bamboo rat meat.
“Just eating meat feels like something is missing. Your Majesty, why don’t you come and have some wine with us?”
Wine?
Where did the wine come from?
After the Elven King wolfed down a bamboo rat, he was stunned when he heard Pagani’s words.
He turned around and realized that Pagani had a pot of wine in his hand. The wine had a golden sun color, and it was full of a rich fruit fragrance and a familiar taste.
“That is the taste of the sun fruit. Is that brewed from the sun fruit?”
“Your Majesty, you really are an elite! That’s right, that wine was brewed from sun fruit. It was called the sun fruit wine. The Holy Dragon Kingdom sells it for 1,000 gold coins per cup. For you, Your Majesty, I only charge 500 gold coins for all the wine that your troops have bought today.”
Watson held two bottles of sun fruit wine in his hands and walked toward the Elven King.
Chapter 587: A Visit To The Dragon Palace
They had used sun fruits to make wine. That group of humans was too extravagant.
The Elven King’s gaze was attracted by the wine in Watson’s hand. He could not help but whine in his heart. The sun fruit was a unique fruit on the World Tree. It only matured after thousands of years, and even he had only tasted a few of them, let alone using the fruits to make wine.
‘They say that humans enjoy it very much. It is indeed so after seeing it today. I don’t know how they got the sun fruit. If the wine they usually enjoy is that, then it is too enviable.’
The Elven King shook his head abruptly. ‘No, why is everyone drinking wine so naturally? We are here to fight, not to drink. And how did they get that wine?’
‘Didn’t Elder Pagani just explain it? While waiting for the planetary fortress to return, we might as well drink some wine. As for where that wine came from…’ The Elven King noticed a group of sea folk beauties transporting wine boxes from the river to the riverbank. He was stunned.
“The sea folks helped to transport the wine from the royal city.”
The sea folk women turned their heads and smiled at him.
‘What’s wrong with that group of sea folks? Did they have time to send wine from the royal city? Isn’t the royal city very far from here? How can they send the wine so quickly?’
The Elven King’s heart was filled with doubts, and he could not help but look at Watson.
“The Holy Dragon Kingdom now has a Dragon Palace Network formed by the golden river. All the waterways are connected, and as long as there is water, the fleet can move quickly. We can reach any place in the Holy Dragon Kingdom instantly through that. Your Majesty, would you like to give it a try?” Watson explained with a smile. The last time they came to the fortress city, they used the Dragon Palace Network too.
“It’s such a magical thing. Take me to see it.”
The Elven King’s eyes lit up. His original attitude toward attacking the Holy Dragon Kingdom was fueled by hatred. Of course, he also knew that he would receive a large amount of wealth after defeating the Holy Dragon Kingdom. However, he did not expect that the wealth would be more than he had expected. If the Dragon Palace Network fell into the hands of the elves, they could reach anywhere instantly. It was hard to imagine how powerful the elves would become.

“Your Majesty, this way, please.”
“Wait a moment.”
Watson made a gesture of invitation. He was leading the Elven King to the river when the Elven King suddenly called out to him.
“What’s wrong, Your Majesty? Are you worried about the danger of entering the Dragon Palace Network? If that’s the case, you can bring more guards with you.”
“No, I’m not worried about that! Watson, I haven’t had the sun fruit wine yet.
“Ah, yes.”
Seeing that the Elven King’s dignified expression was a little uneasy, Watson suppressed the smile in his heart as he poured the Elven King a cup of sun fruit wine. The Elven King was very honest when he said that.
The Elven King took a sip and revealed a look of enjoyment. If it were not for the sake of maintaining the dignity of a king, he would have moaned. It was hard to imagine that the wine was so delicious. He had never tried it before that..
He took another sip of the wine and let the liquid swirl in his mouth. After a few seconds, he could not bear to swallow the wine. “The wine is indeed good. Watson, you said that the wine is only sold for 1,000 gold coins. I wonder where humans got so many sun fruits.”
Typically, the sun fruits only grew near the World Tree. In the entire world, only the elves had a World Tree. The elves did not even have that many of those fruits, so how did the humans get their hands on so many? He did not understand it.
“Please allow me to explain that later. Your Majesty, please come with me to visit the Dragon Palace Network first. Then, I will bring you to a place. Once there, you will understand everything.”
An unfathomable smile appeared on Watson’s face as he led the Elven King to the golden river.
Even though he said he was not worried about his comfort, the Elven King still called for a hundred platinum-tier soldiers. Delta, Claudia, and Nia were also there, following Watson.
“Is everyone ready? If you are, I will activate the Dragon Palace’s defenses and let everyone enter.”
Watson looked around, and the elven soldiers responded weakly. They were drinking and eating when the Elven King called them to accompany him on his tour of the Dragon Palace. They had wanted to continue tasting the gold-tier magical beast meat and sun fruit wine. Unfortunately, that was an order from the Elven King, and they did not dare resist.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Watson did not hesitate. He chanted an incantation at the golden river in front of him. The mirror-like surface immediately cracked open and turned into a vortex that swirled downward. A powerful force came forth, and with an irresistible momentum, sucked Watson, the Elven King, and the others into it.
“Protect His Majesty!”
The group of elven soldiers became nervous because of the sudden force. They thought there would be some danger underwater, so they approached the Elven King nervously and drew their longbows. However, they stopped halfway.
After they entered the water, an enormous palace appeared in front of them. Transparent passages extended from all directions of the palace, connecting to an unknown direction. On the ground, rivers crisscrossed; they kept running.
“Where is that?”
“Aren’t we entering the river? Why are we here?”
The elves looked around in surprise. Bubbles were rising in the air. Other than those beautiful, colorful bubbles, that place was no different from the land. There was no river water as they had expected.
“Welcome to the world reflected in the water. That is the Dragon Palace.”
Watson opened his arms, bowed slightly, and introduced the Dragon Palace to the elves.
“The Dragon Palace exists in the reflection of the water. It is an illusory world, independent of reality. Because it is independent of reality, it can instantly reach any place in reality! The transparent channels in the sky are the paths of the Dragon Palace, which can transport people or goods. The water below the Dragon Palace is the sum of all the waterways of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, which is equivalent to coordinates. We just came from that waterway.”
Watson pointed to a waterway, and the elves looked at it. The water was clear, and they could see the elves eating and drinking on the other side of the river. They could not help but click their tongues in wonder.
“We can actually see the outside world from here. It looks like the water is like a mirror. Are we in the mirroring world now?”
“You can think of it that way.”
“Does it cover the entire Holy Dragon Kingdom?”
“Yes.”
“It’s really amazing.”
The elves, who had been depressed because the Elven King had disturbed them while they were eating and drinking, were filled with excitement after seeing the magnificence and magic of the Dragon Palace.
“Very good,” the Elven King said in an excited voice. He had an unexpected feeling after seeing the Dragon Palace. The Dragon Palace would be his as long as he conquered the Holy Dragon Kingdom.
Chapter 588: The Speechless Delta
“Those passages are fascinating. We can go to different areas of the Holy Dragon Kingdom through those passages. That is much better than any teleportation magic.”
The elves were initially worried that Watson had bad intentions to bring them to that unfamiliar area, but after a few minutes of visiting, they lowered their guard. Some of the elves even began to swim on the water surface.
The water in the passage wrapped their bodies as they entered the water below, splashing a few drops of water. Their bodies immediately disappeared and appeared in the reflection of the water surface. After a while, their bodies appeared again. In just a few minutes, those elves had already appeared on more than ten different water surfaces, saying, “I went out, and I came back.” They were having a lot of fun.
“Your Majesty, did not you just ask me why humans can obtain large amounts of sun fruits to make sun fruit wine? I’ll take you to see it now. ”
Seeing that the elves were interested in the Dragon Palace, Watson threw them another bombshell. He spread his combat aura wings on his back and led the elves to a transparent passage. After entering the passage, they were soaked in the water in the passage. They were comfortable, but their clothes were not wet.
Not long after entering the passage, the water surged and turned into an invisible hand that pushed them down the path and into one of the horizontal waterways on the ground.
Splash!
The scenery changed again. They had already left the Dragon Palace. In front of them was a towering mountain peak that reached the clouds. A calm sea lay beneath their feet, but black fog floated on the surface. A large ship that was also pitch-black and emitting an ominous aura could be vaguely seen flashing across the surface of the sea.
Further away was a plain that was covered in white snow. The cold wind blew from the direction of the plain, blowing the elves’ hair.
“Where is this place?”

“This is the border. The closest kingdom is the Winter Nation in the north, and it is also my hometown. The thing you want is here,” Watson replied calmly.
The elves turned their heads and looked around. Soon, their eyes were attracted to the same thing. That thing was neither the majestic sacred mountain that covered the entire border nor the Sea of Death that covered the same area. Instead, it was a divine tree that stood on Mount Creation.
The tree was surrounded by spiral stairs. It was unknown how high the stairs were, but the umbrella that opened covered the entire sky. It even blocked the sunlight. The massive umbrella of the tree swayed with the wind, and the leaves rustled. The umbrella shone like diamonds.
“Look! Is that a World Tree?”
An elf’s voice trembled. The other elves and the Elven King widened their eyes; they could not speak for a long time.
The Elven King did not understand how Watson brewed the sun fruit wine, and then he realized that there was a World Tree in the Holy Dragon Kingdom. It seemed even more vibrant than the one in the Elven Kingdom. The World Tree was filled with all kinds of sun and moon fruits. They also saw many ordinary fruit trees on Mount Creation, which also had sun and moon fruits.
“There’s a World Tree in the human kingdom? Am I dreaming?”
The Elven King muttered to himself first, then his expression became excited. After seeing that shocking scene, he did not feel confused but became excited. He felt like he had made an enormous profit. Even if he could not obtain anything from the attack on the Holy Dragon Kingdom, as long as he could get those two things, the Elven Kingdom would profit greatly.
‘It’s all thanks to Watson. Otherwise, I would not have known that the human kingdom had the World Tree.’
Taking a deep breath, the Elven King looked at Watson with eyes full of praise. He thought that he had made the right decision to pull Watson into their group on the way.
“I wonder how you feel after seeing that, Your Majesty?” Watson asked meaningfully.
He was a kind young man. He had shown the elves the benefits of the golden river. He had also brought the Elven King to visit the Dragon Palace and Mount Creation to let him understand the power of the Holy Dragon Kingdom so that he would not attack them.
If the Elven King was afraid of what was happening before him and stopped the attack in time, he could still let the Elven King bring those troops back and would not do anything to destroy them.

However, to Watson’s surprise, the Elven King patted him on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs up. “Watson, you did well this time. Initially, I wanted to occupy the royal city first, but now I’ve changed my mind. It’s better to occupy this place first. After this place becomes mine, the Elven Kingdom will have two World Trees! I’ve used up all the water from the Spring of Life during this expedition. I was worried about what I would do if the Spring of Life ran out of water in the future, but now it’s all better. ”
‘No way.’
Watson was speechless. He did not expect the Elven King to be even more excited when he saw those things. Was he not afraid that the Holy Dragon Kingdom would not be easy to defeat?
Delta was also speechless. She had felt fear when she saw the Dragon Palace and the World Tree. The Dragon Palace Network proved that the Holy Dragon Kingdom’s army could appear wherever there was a waterway. The World Tree verified that the Holy Dragon Kingdom’s soldiers would never die, just like the elves.
The only advantage the elven army had over the Holy Dragon Kingdom soldiers was the power of supernatural evolution, which made the elves more powerful than ordinary humans.
While Delta was thinking about that, a few winged figures suddenly floated from Mount Creation not far away. Their surprised voices were like muffled thunder rolling in the sky.
“Young Master Watson, you’re back?”
“Everyone, Young Master Watson is back!
Boom!
At least a million people rose into the sky simultaneously, following the voices of the few figures in the sky. Some of them were servants. Some of them were carrying hoes. Obviously, they were farmers. The weakest among them was a platinum-tier elite, not to mention the armored knights at the forefront. The weakest among them must have been at least a diamond-tier elite.
Delta, who had thought that the elves were stronger than humans, had given up on that idea. Even without Watson, the humans in front of her were not weaker or stronger than the elves, and their numbers were comparable to the elves. Those people could defeat the elven army by themselves.
“That is only the force at the border force. If the entire Holy Dragon Kingdom’s army was mobilized—”
Delta muttered to herself with difficulty. She could not imagine such a scene. The Elven Kingdom would probably be destroyed. If she had known that the Holy Dragon Kingdom possessed such powerful strength, she would never have agreed to the Elven King’s plan of attack. She believed that the Elven King would wake up after seeing all that as well.
Delta wanted to see the Elven King’s surprised expression. However, the Elven King did not seem angry. Instead, he looked excited.
“Those people are very imposing. They appear to be at least platinum-tier. Watson, they call you Young Master. Don’t tell me they’re all your subordinates? That’s great. With these people joining us, it’ll be even easier to conquer the Holy Dragon Kingdom.”
Delta was speechless.
Chapter 589: On Different Channels
Seeing the Elven King in that state, Delta was speechless. She could not understand why the Elven King could still smile after seeing how powerful the border was. She could not even smile.
The border army alone could wipe out the elven army. Watson did not need to join the Elven Kingdom at all. The Elven King should understand that Watson had said he wanted to join the Elven Kingdom as a joke; it must have been a lie.
Delta really did not want to expose that matter when she saw the smile on the Elven King’s face. However, she understood that it would be too late if she did not disclose it. As she was about to say something, the Elven King suddenly clapped his hands.
“Watson, it seems like that the border is even more gorgeous than the Dragon Palace. I have just visited the Dragon Palace. Next, you can show me around here. Coincidentally, I want to go to the mountain to see how that World Tree compares to the one in the Elven Kingdom.”
“Of course, Your Majesty. That’s exactly what I’m thinking.”
Watson was all smiles as he led the Elven King and the others toward the direction of Mount Creation. Among the elves, only Delta looked worried and unhappy.
Soon, everyone arrived above Mount Creation. Among the millions of people hovering on the mountain, a few of them came to Watson and knelt respectfully on one knee.
“The first commander of the Blackmoon Knights, Allen, greets Young Master Watson.”
“The second commander, Liszt, greets Young Master Watson.”
Allen and Liszt wore black armor and looked curiously at the elves around Watson. They knew about the war between the Elven Kingdom and the Holy Dragon Kingdom, but they did not care about it. No matter how hard the elven army attacked, they would not reach the border. Even if the elven army could get to the border successfully, they would use their powerful strength to fight them back.

With the energy contained in Mount Creation, dealing with the small elven army was nothing. When they saw more than a hundred elves following Watson, they did not think that the elves had captured Watson. Instead, they felt like Watson had subdued the elves.
Previously, Watson had subdued the sea folks and the dragon race. The elves were not as good as the other two races, so Watson must have subdued them as well.
With such thoughts in mind, Allen and Liszt did not treat the elves in front of them as enemies. Instead, they treated them as guests and future companions who had come from afar. They wore cordial smiles on their faces.
While the two of them were sizing up the elves, the elves were also sizing up Liszt and Allen. Due to their supernatural powers, they had evolved from silver or gold-tier to platinum-tier mythical creatures. However, the two people standing in front of them were humans, but the aura emanating from their bodies was stronger than a diamond-tier elite. It made them feel suffocated. It was hard to imagine how humans, who were weaker than the elves, could train to reach that tier.
“Let me introduce everyone. These are the two commanders of Mount Creation. Behind them are the other Blackmoon Knights’ legion commanders and deputy commanders! ”
After introducing the elves, Watson turned around and introduced Allen and the others. “Liszt, Allen, this is the Elven King and his subordinates. Later, I’ll have to trouble you to bring them to Mount Creation for a tour. I haven’t been back for a long time, so I’ll go and visit my parents first.”
The flow of time on Mount Creation was ten times faster than the outside world. He had not returned for a few months, so several years had already passed there.
As he spoke, Watson turned around and flew toward the summit of Mount Creation, while Liszt and Allen respectfully agreed. They stood up and gestured for the Elven King to follow them. “Your Majesty, please come with us. Please make yourself at home. From now on, Mount Creation is your home.”
In the spirit of being Watson’s subordinates and being friendly to the elves so that they could work together in the future, the two of them said those words, but in the Elven King’s ears, those words had a different meaning.
‘It’s my first time coming here, and they want me to treat this place like my own home. What do they mean? As expected, Watson means to offer this place to me.’
A smug smile appeared on the Elven King’s face, and he waved his hand. “Of course, we will do that.”
If Watson wanted to offer that place to him, then it was his territory. Should he be courteous in his own territory?
For some reason, the two parties had completely different thoughts in their minds, but they were on the same channel.

“I wonder what the Elven King would like to see first. Mount Creation covers a vast area and is rich in resources,” Liszt said politely. The Elven King paused for a moment before saying, “It’s fine. I’m not in a hurry. I want to see the World Tree. Let’s start with that.”
“Very well, Your Majesty.”
With the Elven King in tow, Liszt and Allen flew toward the direction of the World Tree. Allen told the other commanders and deputy commanders of the Blackmoon Knights who were still floating in the sky. “Leave the rest of the tour to Liszt and me. If everyone continues to stay, it will be very chaotic. Everyone should go back and do what they need to do.” The group of people then left the sky reluctantly.
It seemed like those elves were a race that Watson had just subdued. It would be beneficial to have a good relationship with those elves. Unfortunately, Allen, as the First Legion’s commander, had already spoken, so the others could not stay any longer.
“It seems like the two of you have a very high status on this mountain.”
In the face of Allen, who had dismissed over a million people with a single sentence, the Elven King’s eyes could not help but light up. Even though Watson had just introduced Liszt and Allen as the commanders of the Blackmoon Knights on Mount Creation, he had no idea what that meant.
In his opinion, the commanders of the human armies should be like the elven generals. They had the right to lead troops into battle. It would not be easy for them to give orders to the civilians and ask them to obey. On the contrary, the noblemen who did not have the right to lead troops had greater authority in that area. Only a great lord could command a million people with just a word. It seemed like the two generals in front of him were not only higher-ups, but they must also have great noble identities.
What did Watson mean by having such precious identities by his side?
It meant that Watson valued him.
The Elven King was excited. He was even more confident that Watson wanted to offer him Mount Creation.
“Your Majesty, you must be joking. Our identities on this mountain are only equivalent to those of a guard captain,” Allen replied modestly, cursing the Elven King in his heart.
He was not lying. If Mount Creation were compared to a slightly larger manor, he would be equivalent to a guard captain of a patrolling team, and he was not even the only captain. In Watson’s setting, Blackmoon Knights’ ten legions were equal in rank.
There was no concept of nobility on Mount Creation. Everyone was equal. He could command millions of people because Watson was the only master there, and since he was the captain of Watson’s guards, he had the authority to do that.
In the past, the races that Watson had subdued, be it the sea folks or the dragon race, were surprised when they saw Mount Creation for the first time. However, they were not as exaggerated as the Elven King, who thought he and Liszt were big shots. That showed that the Elven King was very ignorant.
“The two of you are too modest. If you were in the elven army, someone as capable as the two of you would be more than enough to be an Elder in power.”
The Elven King believed that Allen and Liszt were being modest. Allen and Liszt were even more certain that the Elven King had insufficient knowledge. The elven Elders were the elves’ top management. They were so powerful that they could even dismiss some of the Elven King’s decisions. However, Allen and Liszt were only guards on Mount Creation, but the Elven King thought they were the same as the elves’ Elders.
Both sides had their own thoughts. After a few minutes, they arrived at the World Tree.
Chapter 590: The Stubborn Elven King
“Your Majesty, we have arrived. This is the World Tree on Mount Creation. That is the second World Tree in the world that Young Master Watson had cultivated.”
Allen’s words were filled with admiration for Watson.
‘I can’t believe that Watson can create a deep-sea submarine and also grow a World Tree!’ The Elven King clicked his tongue. He had never heard that a World Tree could be obtained through cultivation. Otherwise, the elves would not be the only ones in the world to have a World Tree. In ancient times, some gods cultivated the World Tree. Perhaps Watson’s cultivation method had been passed down from ancient times. When he had time, he would ask Watson for the formula so that the method would not spread and affect the elves.
As he pondered, the Elven King heard Allen continue to say, “Your Majesty, which World Tree is better, this one or the one in the Elven Kingdom?”
“Of course, our World Tree is more powerful. After all, it has been passed down from ancient times. It is not something this World Tree can compare to.”
The Elven King refuted calmly, but he thought differently.
The world tree in front of him was full of vitality. It was completely different from the one in the Elven Kingdom. Countless types of sun and moon fruits were hanging on the tree’s thick branches—there were roughly hundreds of thousands of them. In comparison, the number of sun and moon fruits on the World Tree in the Elven Kingdom was only a few hundred.
Those fruits would only ripen after being watered by the Spring of Life for nearly a thousand years. They were essential items to test the quantity and quality of the Spring of Life’s water. The World Tree in front of them could nourish so many sun and moon fruits. That proved that it was not the same as the Elven Kingdom’s World Tree.

‘I have to be calm. I can’t appear too surprised.’
He could not show his thoughts on the surface. After all, the Elven King was the leader of the elven race and the elf who would inherit that mountain in the future. If he showed his shock in front of those humans, it would be too demeaning.
“Your Majesty, this World Tree is obviously much better than ours! Our tree can not bear so many sun and moon fruits.”
An honest elf exclaimed as he pointed at the world tree in front of him while he was thinking.
As he spoke, he swallowed his saliva. “I have never tasted the sun and moon gems from our tree. This World Tree bears so many fruits. It should be fine for me to taste one.”
“What nonsense are you spouting? Do you mean ours don’t have the same fruits? It does have the sun fruit and the moon fruit. Aren’t they common fruits in our kingdom? Don’t act so ignorant!”
The Elven King turned around and slapped the drooling elf. He pretended to be serious.
Holding his red and swollen cheek, the elf looked aggrieved. He knew that the Elven King was spouting nonsense to protect his dignity. He was unhappy, but he did not dare to show it.
“Please don’t be so angry, Your Highness. The World Tree of Mount Creation may not be as good as the elves. It just so happens that the sun and moon fruits on our tree have matured. Everyone, why don’t you have a taste? Perhaps they have a different taste than the two fruits in your kingdom.”
Allen saw through the Elven King’s pretentious mentality and deliberately did not expose him. He smiled and reached out his hand. A strong wave of combat aura spread out from his hand and turned into a hurricane that swept some sun and moon fruits down. He distributed them to every elf.
Looking at the fruits in their hands and smelling the fruits’ fragrance, the elves swallowed their saliva and stared at them.

One of the elves could not resist the desire in his heart and took a bite of the fruit. He ate the sun fruit, and the unique fragrance of the fruit entered his stomach, causing all the hair on his body to stand while his limbs and bones became relaxed. The overly delicious flavor ignited his taste buds and made him close his eyes comfortably.
“That is the sun fruit. It blooms in a thousand years, bears fruit in a thousand years, and ripens in a thousand years. It tastes like the sun. This is the first time in my life that I have eaten such delicious fruit.”
After they arrived at the Holy Dragon Kingdom, they tasted the sun fruit wine that Watson had brought from the capital. The wine was very delicious, but it was different from tasting the actual fruit. Since the sun fruit wine was the product of a sun fruit diluted many times, it did not move them as much.
The Elven King had brought them to the Dragon Palace from the fortress city. Initially, they were troubled by the fact that they could not eat the magical beast’s meat and drink the sun fruit wine. However, their concerns had been put to the back of their minds, and they began to thank the Elven King instead. If the Elven King had not brought them to the border, they would not have been able to taste such delicious food.
Some elves grabbed the sun fruit and stuffed it into their mouths. They did not even dare to waste any juice in the fruit. They stuck out their tongues and licked the juice that flowed out of their lips before they dared to speak. “This is the taste of the sun fruit? I think I will never forget this taste in my life.”
Some of the elves were even more exaggerated—they had shed tears. Even the Elven King fell silent after eating the sun fruit. As the king of the elves, he had eaten the fruit before. However, the sun fruit he tasted was on a completely different level from the one he had just eaten. The sun fruit he had eaten was at least ten times more delicious than the one he had eaten before that.
“Everyone, eat slowly. We have many more.”
Allen’s words interrupted the elves who were enjoying themselves. The Elven King snapped back to his senses and quickly stuffed the two fruits in his hands into his mouth. “Well, even though the World Tree that you have grown does not look as good as ours, the sun fruit and moon fruit still taste pretty good.”
“It’s too delicious.” The honest elf, who had just been beaten up, spoke honestly again.
Just as the elves praised the sun and moon fruits, a few residents with baskets suddenly flew from the sky and arrived behind the World Tree. One of the residents reached out and picked a sun fruit and put it into his mouth.
“This sun fruit is not ripe yet. It’s sour and astringent. It seems like this batch of fruits is not ready yet. We can’t use the Wish for the World ring to duplicate it and store it in the spiral staircase in the sky. Let’s wait for a while before coming back.”
Spitting out the sun fruit, the residents flew away at an even faster speed.
The elves enjoying the sun fruit and the moon fruit were all stunned.
“These fruits are not ripe? Is it true?” The Elven King muttered in a voice that only he could hear. He felt like those fruits were tastier than the ones in his kingdom. If those were unripe, it was hard to imagine how good they would be when they ripened.
The Elven King’s heart was filled with disbelief. He gritted his teeth, turned around, and walked in front of the elven soldiers, knocking over the sun and moon fruits in their hands. “Stop eating! I thought those fruits were not bad when I took the first bite, but now I feel like those fruits were not ripe when I took the second bite. The taste is far from what our fruits taste like!”
