At this moment, Faer was actually feeling somewhat hesitant inside.

One hundred trillion gold coins—gritting his teeth, he could, with a little effort, tap into the Elemental race's treasury and gather the required amount.

But the islands where the hidden nations resided were just too far away.

If he were to make another trip, it would cost him a significant amount of precious research time.

Thinking about this, Faer spoke again,

"What if I don't want to go? Can I just give you the gold coins instead?"

"Faer, you don't really think I need these gold coins, do you?"

The maiden placed her hands on her hips, her gentle face now showing some anger,

"I know the Elemental race is rich, but my asking price right now is infinity. Do you really have that many gold coins?"

Well, it seemed that reasoning with women was never going to work.

Faer's mouth twitched slightly, then, with a very decisive tone, he said,

"Alright, I can help you deliver them."

After saying this, he picked up the box and fruits from the counter, placing them into his spatial bag, before turning and leaving the mage tower.

However, as he walked away, Laeve, through the sound of the wind, faintly heard Faer's muttering.

"Damn it, if I had known it would be this troublesome, I should've researched long-distance teleportation earlier!"

Laeve's lips curled into a slight smile as she looked in the direction Faer was leaving, muttering to herself,

"The Hidden Tree... I hope it can be of help to them."

"After all, they provided me with great assistance back then."

After speaking, Laeve turned to look at the lush plant cultivation garden behind her.

It was thanks to the seeds she received that she had grown to her current level in such a short time.

Without them, at her age, reaching level 150 would have been incredibly difficult.

The competition between god ranks was always brutal. In this era, even among demigods, battles over resources were a common sight.

For Laeve, the seeds she received had given her ample resources, allowing her to grow rapidly.

So, she felt a natural closeness to the Hidden Nations, as they were the ones who had provided her with those seeds.

...

Six months later,

Faer returned to the ruins of the Hidden Nations. The place was still desolate, but the animals on the islands had become much more abundant.

Faer followed Laeve's instructions, placing the items in the ruins.

However, this time, he didn't just leave. Instead, he found an empty area and began carving out a massive teleportation array.

After spending a whole half month, Faer finally let out a long sigh of relief.

With this teleportation array, the next time he needed to visit, he wouldn't have to waste another six months traveling.

Faer raised his hand and activated the teleportation array in front of him.

In the next instant, a portal appeared before him.

Faer stepped into it, and his figure was soon transported to the human castle in the Land of Origin.

Just like before, he didn't linger and made his way directly to the mage tower once again.

Laeve, as calm as the first time they met, greeted him.

"Oh, you're back! Did you deliver the items?"

"Of course, I did."

Faer nodded, only to find Laeve handing him a parcel.

"Here's what you need. It's only a portion, but it should keep you busy for quite a while."

"You came back just in time. If you had taken any longer, I would have been ready to close the mage tower."

Faer paused for a moment and looked at the nearly empty mage tower, asking in surprise,

"So, Laeve, are you planning to leave?"

"Yes. Is there a problem? Besides, I gave you the materials you wanted, didn't I?"

"But the quantity of these materials is completely insufficient..."

Faer spoke helplessly, but Laeve, upon hearing this, widened her eyes in disbelief.

"Is this not enough?

"Faer, what exactly are you trying to do? Are you planning to complete this array? I suggest you give up on that idea!"

Faer, however, did not respond to Laeve's words. Instead, he furrowed his brow in thought.

After a brief silence, Faer spoke,

"Laeve, if you don't mind, I'd like to share part of my perception with you."

"I think once you see it, you'll understand."

Upon hearing this, Laeve's face showed a wary expression.

"Faer, what are you up to? I'm not interested in whatever you have. If you try to share some nonsense with me, don't blame me for dealing with you!"

Seeing Laeve warily eyeing him, Faer couldn't help but show a helpless smile.

He hadn't expected that Laeve would view him as a bad person.

"Don't worry, it's not what you think, and I'm not that kind of person."

Faer shook his head with a bitter smile, then pointed to the mark on his forehead, which was unique to the Elemental race.

"If you don't trust me, I'm willing to swear an oath on the Elements."

Upon seeing Faer's oath, Laeve hesitated for a moment. After some thought, she spoke,

"Alright, then share your perception. But I warn you, if you share something useless, I'll disconnect immediately."

"Don't worry, I won't."

Faer said, then opened his mind power and extended it into Laeve's mind.

For Laeve, it felt as though a foreign memory had suddenly appeared in her mind.

After a moment,

Laeve's brows furrowed deeply, and she rubbed her forehead, her face showing signs of a headache.

"Alright, alright, you don't need to continue. I understand what you're trying to convey now."

"To summarize, as long as you can restore the array, it means you can attempt to integrate the Second Divine Position, right?"

Faer nodded, then shook his head, his expression turning serious.

"To be precise, I don't think 'fusion' is the right word. This is based on the principles of resonance and elemental balance, and also..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Laeve immediately waved her hand, her head throbbing.

"First, you need to understand that I'm just a regular demigod. I have no idea what you're talking about."

Faer, hearing this, brightened up and was about to explain further.

However, before he could speak, Laeve interrupted him again.

"Also, let me make it clear: I'm not interested in what you're saying. So, please stop."

"You just need to tell me, will this array give me the Second Divine Position once it's complete?"

"Technically speaking, it should be possible. Though I'm only guessing, since, as you know, the array isn't complete."
