The Land of the Earth

Another half a month passed, and Song Chaoming's injuries finally healed.

During the past half month, he has been getting stronger day by day under the careful care of the villagers of Tu Village.

The wound that was once scratched by the wolf demon only left a faint mark.

The sun was exceptionally bright that day, and the soft light shone through the gaps between the leaves, sprinkling onto the dirt road in the village, forming patches of golden light.

The breeze blew gently, bringing the fragrance of flowers in the fields and the scent of soil.

It seems as if the whole world is adding a bit of joy to the upcoming important moment.

The village chief walked to Song Chaoming's residence with steady steps. There was a gentle smile on his weather-beaten face, and his eyes were full of expectation and concern.

"Let's go, Song Chaoming. You, me, and Jingyun are all sixteen years old. It's time to awaken." The village chief's voice was calm and powerful.

Song Chaoming was so excited when he heard the words of the village chief that he immediately jumped out of bed, straightened his clothes, and his eyes were full of expectation and determination.

"Okay, village chief, I'm ready!" There was a hint of excitement in his voice.

When they walked out of the room, Jingyun had been waiting at the door for a long time.

Jingyun was wearing a brand new light blue dress today, with her hair combed neatly and tied behind her head, making her look particularly energetic.

Her face was filled with anticipation and nervousness. When she saw Song Chaoming and the village chief come out, she smiled and nodded to them.

The three of them walked together towards the village center square. Along the way, Song Chaoming's mood was like a little rabbit in his arms, jumping non-stop.

He looked at the village chief and Jingyun from time to time, trying to get some comfort and encouragement from their expressions.

When they arrived at the square, some of their peers from the same village were already gathered there.

Everyone stood together in groups of three or five, talking in low voices, and everyone's face had an expression mixed with tension and excitement.

The boys were eager to try, while the girls seemed a little shy and uneasy.

In the center of the square stood a gigantic and ancient Dream Tree, towering into the sky, its trunk so thick it would take more than a dozen people to hug it.

Its lush branches and leaves are like a huge green umbrella, covering most of the square.

It is said that this tree has magical powers that can help people awaken their innate abilities. However, not everyone can successfully awaken, which makes everyone feel uneasy.

The awakening ceremony began, and the first person to step forward was a sturdy boy.

He took a deep breath, strode to the Dream Tree, stretched out his trembling hands, and pressed them tightly against the trunk. Everyone held their breath and stared at him intently.

However, a few minutes passed and nothing happened. A look of disappointment appeared on the boy's face, and he walked off the stage dejectedly.

Then, the second, the third... one after another, peers came forward to try, but all failed to awaken.

Some of them had eyes full of loss, some bit their lips unwillingly, and some even burst into tears on the spot.

At this time, Jingyun took a deep breath, glanced at Song Chaoming and the village chief, and then walked forward bravely.

Her steps were firm, her eyes gleaming with confidence. As she placed her hand on the trunk of the Dream Tree, a gentle breeze blew quietly, gently blowing around her.

Then, a faint red glow appeared on the tree trunk, and flames rose up around her, hot and dazzling.

Jingyun successfully awakened the power of wind and fire. These two forces intertwined around her, forming a beautiful and shocking picture.

Everyone exclaimed in amazement and cheered, "Jingyun is so amazing!" "This talent is simply amazing!" Everyone praised.

A joyful smile bloomed on Jingyun's face. She felt the powerful force surging in her body and her heart was filled with pride.

Next, it was Song Chaoming's turn. His heartbeat was so rapid it felt like it was about to burst out of his throat. He swallowed nervously and stepped forward.

When his hand touched the rough trunk of the Dream Tree, a cool feeling instantly spread throughout his body. He closed his eyes and felt it with his heart.

A moment later, green light spread from the tree trunk to his entire body, and the surrounding plants seemed to be summoned and began to sway.

Tender green shoots emerged from the soil, and vines grew rapidly, wrapping around his feet. Song Chaoming successfully awakened the power of plants, that is, the power of wood.

He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the scene in front of him, his heart filled with surprise and emotion. The village chief smiled with satisfaction in the audience, tears in his eyes.

After the awakening ceremony, everyone dispersed. Song Chaoming and Jingyun followed the village chief, their hearts still trembling for a long time.

"Children, your future is full of infinite possibilities," the village chief said with emotion, "but remember, your strength must be used for the right purposes. You must work hard to protect the village and our home."

Song Chaoming and Jingyun nodded solemnly. They knew that this was just the beginning and there would be more challenges waiting for them in the future.

The clan leader looked at Song Chaoming and Jingyun and said seriously, "Children, let me explain to you the realm divisions of this world.

Like you who have just awakened, you are currently in the Transcendent Realm. From lowest to highest, they are Transcendent, Far, Poetry, Tranquility, Oblivion, Illumination, Flying, Eternity... etc. I don't know anything above the Eternal Realm.

Each realm is divided into one to ten levels, and each level advancement is extremely difficult.

Improving one's realm requires a large amount of dream power. This power is mysterious and powerful. Only through continuous practice and comprehension can one obtain and use it to improve one's realm.

Do you understand?"

Song Chaoming and Jingyun looked at each other, then nodded seriously and replied: "Grandpa Patriarch, we understand."

The clan leader stroked his beard with satisfaction and said, "I understand. From now on, you must practice diligently and never slack off. In this world full of unknowns and dangers, strong strength is the only guarantee."

Song Chaoming clenched his fists and said with a firm look, "Grandpa Clan Leader, don't worry. We will definitely work hard to cultivate, improve our realm, and protect the village and everyone."

Jingyun also agreed: "Yes, we won't let you down."

The clan leader smiled and nodded, his eyes full of expectation and encouragement.

The village chief looked at Song Chaoming and Jingyun gently and said, "Let's go back first. Since you have awakened, I will sign you up to study in Tucheng."

Song Chaoming and Jingyun's eyes flashed with surprise when they heard this. Song Chaoming quickly said, "Thank you, Grandpa, the village chief!" Jingyun also responded happily, "That's great, Grandpa!"

The village chief smiled and waved his hand, leading the two of them into the village.

Along the way, Song Chaoming and Jingyun were immersed in their anticipation for the upcoming study life in Tucheng, and their steps became particularly brisk.
