"What is this Divine Realm?" Bai Yujing had to ask.
It was Loran who explained to Bai Yujing: "Actually, it's the base of the Holy Oak. In the beginning, the Holy Oak was just a small sapling, and it grew slowly relying on the life force emitted by the Fountain of Life."
"As the Holy Oak grew larger and larger, it eventually became this towering giant tree, covering the entire Fountain of Life. So from anywhere outside, you cannot see the Holy Oak!"
Bai Yujing frowned: "If that's the case, how do we get in?"
Loran continued: "There is a tree hole that leads directly to where the Fountain of Life originally was. A very peculiar space has formed there, and it is said to be a forbidden area belonging to the gods. Even later on, only we from the Lake Fairy Clan are allowed to step in, which is why it is also called the Divine Realm."
Bai Yujing nodded: "I see!"
Speaker then said: "The ceremony will be held tomorrow. Have you decided who will enter? Helena will accompany you to perform the awakening ritual for the Fountain of Life!"
Bai Yujing looked at Helena, who nodded back at him, "I can go in alone!"
Speaker looked at Bai Yujing: "That might not work because three pieces of the Golden Disc are needed to awaken the Fountain of Life. From what we understand, those three people who possess the Golden Disc are not aligned with you, so..."
Loran added: "Moreover, we will not help you seize the Golden Disc. The Fairy Clan has always maintained neutrality and peace towards outsiders; this is a matter of principle for us!"
Bai Yujing shook his head: "You don't need to help; I already have all three pieces of the Golden Disc!"
As he said this, Bai Yujing took out all three pieces of the Golden Disc, instantly attracting the attention of all the Lake Fairies present. For them, it was a sacred object they hadn't seen for thousands of years, now reuniting with both Fairy Island and the Sky Kingdom.
The members of the Lake Fairy Clan exchanged glances and shared information before finally saying to Bai Yujing: "Alright, please be ready tomorrow morning!"
--------------
Early the next morning, all the Fairies in Fairy City gathered in the square as if holding a grand celebration. Everyone was dressed in their finest attire, and since last night, the entire Fairy City had been decorated with lights and colors in celebration.
Awakening the Fountain of Life was an event of utmost importance for the Fairy Clan, one that hadn't occurred in thousands of years. All members of the Fairy Clan wore joyful expressions. Those who came here today were not only residents from the original Central Floating Island, but also many from lower floating islands where other members of the Fairy Clan lived.
All the various fairies gathered together to witness today's grand event and await the revival of the Fountain of Life.
A large number of fairy guards assembled in the largest square of Fairy City, maintaining order. Bai Yujing and others were also dressed in Fairy Clan attire, looking somewhat classical. The Lake Fairies wore white veils and crowns on their heads, exuding an air of majesty.
Bai Yujing was pushed to the center of the group, wearing a very elaborate outfit with diagonal buttons, draped in a dark cloak, and sporting brown boots. In his hands, he held the Holy Oak Staff, also known as Merlin's Staff, and he wore a crown on his head. It was unclear what the fairies meant by this.
The ceremony was conducted by Loran: "Thousands of years ago, Lake Fairy Lily made a vow to awaken the Fountain of Life and change the irreversible fate of the Fairy Clan's destruction. Today, I want to tell everyone that she has succeeded!"
"Lily!"
"Long live the Lake Fairies!"
"Thank you all!"
Everyone cheered, their voices rising in waves that echoed throughout the square, which was densely packed with Fairy Clan members. Many fairies were either flying in mid-air or riding broomsticks to watch the event.
Loran recounted the history of the Fairy Clan. Thousands of years ago, Fairy Island was known as the Island of Life. At that time, there were no Floating Islands, and there were hundreds of Lake Fairies. The Island of Life was vast and boundless, with the Fairy Clans living in tribes and villages. Each Lake Fairy protected a part of the Fairy Clan's habitat.
The most powerful and prestigious Lake Fairies were responsible for guarding the Fountain of Life. However, since the Fountain had dried up, the Island of Life gradually fell apart, and many Lake Fairies perished without any new ones being born.
The remaining Lake Fairies transformed the shattered Island of Life into its current form, merging their Fairy Lakes atop the Central Floating Island to sustain all of Fairy Island and its clans.
While listening to Loran's speech, Bai Yujing also kept an eye on Bivis and Shen Fei. Strangely enough, since yesterday, they had remained calm as if they had given up competing with Bai Yujing and his group. They showed no signs of action; it seemed they had come merely to participate in a grand ceremony.
Bai Yujing felt they wouldn't give up so easily but couldn't decipher their thoughts. He had given all necessary instructions; now it was most important to complete the ritual to activate the Fountain of Life.
The square was located at the edge of the Holy Oak trunk. Loran's speech ignited a frenzy among everyone who eagerly anticipated what would happen next. Then they saw Lake Fairy Helena leading Bai Yujing onto the stage amidst a throng of Lake Fairies, arriving at the edge of the square.
"Are we really just going to jump down like this?" Bai Yujing stood at the edge of the square. Although his legs weren't shaking, looking down at the mist floating beneath him certainly made him feel a bit scared and his heart race.
Helena glanced at Bai Yujing and asked, "Are you scared?"
Bai Yujing replied irritably, "You all can fly, so you're not afraid. If I jump down, I'll die!"
"Don't worry, I'll protect you!"
After saying this, Helena suddenly wrapped an arm around Bai Yujing's shoulder and gently pushed off the ground with her feet. Both of them floated up together, and then they saw her leap off directly from the square.
"Hey, could you at least give me a warning? I'm not ready yet!" The two of them began to fall vertically, with the strong wind rushing towards them, causing Bai Yujing's hair and face to be blown wildly. Bai Yujing felt that his appearance was probably not handsome at all right now.
However, even though Helena's hair was tousled by the wind and her forehead was completely exposed, she still looked elegant and beautiful. Truly, she was like a fairy.
Bai Yujing felt as if he was passing through layers of clouds and mist. They continued to fall straight down, arms spread wide as if soaring freely. Although only a few seconds passed, it felt like a century to Bai Yujing.
"Are we there yet?"
As Bai Yujing saw Fairy Lake growing larger below and the clouds becoming thinner, he asked worriedly. Helena then pulled Bai Yujing close, and they stopped in mid-air. "We're here!"
Only then did Bai Yujing see a tree hole appearing on the trunk of the vast Holy Oak, which seemed to stretch endlessly. The hole was about fifty or sixty meters wide, but for such a gigantic tree as the Holy Oak, it was no more than a small hole.
Helena lightly tapped the air as if stepping on solid ground, and in just a few moments, they arrived at the tree hole. "This is the passage to the Divine Realm!"
