I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

First of all, Anno did indeed save the dwarf kingdom.

Without Anno, the Dwarf Kingdom would be gone, so what's the point of mentioning the artifact set?

Most importantly, the gods worshipped by the dwarf kingdom have all become unreachable.

Furthermore, it is speculated that the Swift Walkers of all races and nations in Angomulos are now facing the same problem.

The news did not spread, but King Alcott was naturally aware of it.

As a king, Alcott naturally had many things to consider.

Prepare for the worst.

What should we do to deal with a crisis if the worst happens?

Although many high-ranking beings have perished in the war among the land races of Angomulos, powerful individuals still exist.

However, one thing cannot be denied: the various races that have lost their gods are incapable of dealing with enemies beyond the ninth rank.

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse served as a wake-up call for everyone.

They need combat power exceeding the ninth rank!

Currently, among all the races, there is only one person known to possess this level of combat power.

That was Anno standing in front of Alcott.

To be honest, if Alcott hadn't known that Anno had been working for the elves for the past few years, he would have found a way to keep Anno in the dwarf kingdom long ago.

But because he knew about Anno's relationship with the elves, Alcott didn't ask Anno to make any conditions for staying; he just wanted to befriend Anno.

Having established a relationship with the Armor of Wrath, Anno shouldn't abandon the dwarves in their time of need.

"This world is truly in chaos!"

Alcott watched Anno leave with Gloria, then looked at the dwarf soldiers in the city with a worried expression.

The silence of the gods of Ungomulos is ultimately a dangerous thing.

I don't know how much longer we can keep this a secret.

For the various races that believe in gods, the collapse of their faith is an extremely dangerous thing even in peacetime, let alone now that it is wartime.

Finding a way out in the current situation is not only something the Dwarf King needs to do now, but also something that the kings of all the nations of Ungomulos need to ponder deeply.

......

Elf King's City!

Anno, who had just emerged from the teleportation array, followed Gloria all the way to the location of the Tree of Life itself.

Although there were many elven soldiers guarding the Tree of Life, the elves could still pray to it from a distance.

However, now, a large number of elven soldiers have placed the area around the Tree of Life under tight security, and no elf will be allowed to enter without orders.

The original location of the Tree of Life is now obscured by a huge magical light barrier, making it impossible to see through.

Clearly, this was the Elf Queen's solution to prevent the spread of fear—using a magical light barrier to shield the withering and decaying Tree of Life.

To be honest, Anno had previously thought that the Tree of Life was just the tree that shed leaves, as Gloria had described.

However, after Anno passed through the light curtain, he discovered that things were far more serious than he had imagined.

The towering, thriving trees that once reached for the clouds are no longer what they once were.

It was a withered tree with only branches and trunk remaining!

"How did it turn out like this so quickly?"

Gloria hadn't expected that in the short time she had just traveled to Mstrong to call Anno back via the teleportation array, the Tree of Life had gone from having green leaves to being completely lifeless.

"Anno!"

When Elisana turned around and saw Anno return, a light suddenly shone in her sorrowful eyes. She then called out to the Elf Queen and the Forest Elves beside her, "Anno is back!"

The Elf Queen and Melville turned around at the same time to look at Anno, who was walking quickly towards them, and approached him anxiously.

Ever since Anno killed the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the Elf Queen has been asking Melville about Anno's true identity.

Melville, a forest spirit, only knew that Anno might be a god.

"Lord Anno, please save the Tree of Life!"

The noble elven queen knelt down on one knee without saying a word when she came before Anno.

Even Melville did the same thing.

When the surrounding elven high-ranking officials and guards saw that their queen and general had knelt down, they also knelt down.

Even Gloria and Elisana knelt before Anno with tears in their eyes.

Anno frowned as he looked at the elf kneeling before him.

What good is it for the Tree of Life to kneel before me now that it's in such a dead state?

He ignored the elves and went straight to the withered trunk of the Tree of Life.

"Melville, do you think he can do something?"

The Queen of Life assumed that Anno had gone to find a solution.

Melville, standing beside him, shook his head helplessly. "I don't know. But for now, we can only place our hopes on Lord Anno."

After all, they are just ordinary people.

"If I possess god-level combat power, I will be qualified to fight for the Tree of Life and face difficulties with her."

Melville clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking, but in the end he could only squeeze out two words through gritted teeth.

"hateful!"

......

"The gods cannot be contacted on the battlefield, nor can the sea creatures' walkers, and then the Tree of Life withers."

If I'm not mistaken, the gods of Un'gomulos are either being besieged or hunted down by gods from other planes.

Anno touched the cracked trunk of the Tree of Life as he circled it, trying to find something that contained the breath of life.

"With my current abilities, it's impossible for me to confront a god from another dimension head-on. Unless the seal on my soul is broken."

But now I can't contact any of the gods. Who can unseal my soul?

Anno never imagined that the means he used to protect himself inside the tunnel might become the very thing that would drag him down.

However, Anno has another idea now.

That means leaving Ungomulos and going to another plane.

As long as you're alive, even if it's just barely surviving, there's always a chance.

His goal was not to protect Angomulos, but to resurrect Liz!

Suddenly, two beautiful faces flashed through Anno's mind.

He glanced back at the elf behind him.

Elisana and Gloria were looking at him with expectant eyes.

"A tragic fate!"

Anno sighed, and as he turned around, he suddenly felt a spatial rift appear above him.

Then Clarissa's figure fell from the Tree of Life.

Anno rushed over and caught Clarissa as she fell.

"Anno?"

When the weakened Clarissa saw Anno, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

Before Anno could ask a question, Clarissa grasped Anno's hand and handed him something, saying, "This is a solution we all came up with to break your soul seal. With my life godhood, it will definitely break your soul seal."

From the ancient gods, it's up to you now.

Please...please do not let them kill the God of Summoning.

The Summoning God is our last hope... and your hope too!

"Live on, and lead everyone to break...the curse...of this world."

After saying this, Clarissa's body turned into starlight and disappeared in Anno's arms.

Before long, only a rhombus-shaped divine core remained floating in front of Anno.

Still somewhat dazed, Anno grabbed the divine spark with one hand and held the thing Clarissa had given him with the other, murmuring, "He really... fell!"
