"What do you mean by evolve? I just upgraded the territory, and they naturally became like that because that is what should happen." Adrian stated but the look of disbelief could be seen on the faces of all the elders present there.
"I know that you are supposed to be smart, but it seems that you are really clueless about this. A floating island does not randomly evolve like that just because you upgraded it. The fact that all islands turned into something different is nothing short of a miracle." Koronn stated as he knew that this is something that is extremely unlikely to happen.
The Tree of Life and Death that was chilling and watching the drama finally stopped being silent. The Tree of Life and Death, Yewdrassil, suddenly started to speak to Adrian as the latter nodded in response to their conversation. The elders did not know what they are conversing as only four people could understand the Tree of Life and Death and those are Equinox, Levin Cloud, Vitae and Mortem.
All the elders could see is that the Tree of Life and Death is swaying its branches and leaves. They did not dare to speak up though as these elders fear the Tree of Life and Death unlike the four that could converse with it. Even Pann is wary of the Tree of Life and Death as he could feel powerful divine energy from this plant despite being only fond of beasts.
"Oh! I see." Adrian replied as he finished his conversation with Yewdrassil.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"What did you realize, Champion Equinox?" One of the elders of the Church of the Twin Gods asked as the Daemos Elders seem to be waiting for someone to speak up. In their minds though, they really do not want to ask a question as they do not want to be a target of existence eradication should they get on the bad side of the Tree of Life and Death.
"The Tree of Life and Death told me that it was just a matter of time that the islands evolve into a special floating island because they have been bathed with too much mana that it has released. A part of my luck might have also influenced the evolution since I triggered it when I upgraded the territory." Adrian stated as he did see that a notification telling him that his luck activated or something.
Since the Tree of Life and Death has spoken, they cannot interrogate Adrian any longer and returned back to what they were doing. Ascalor, Koronn and Pann did not leave though as they said they needed to say something to Adrian. Adrian felt a tingling sensation climb his back when he looked at the three as they eyed him like a hawk.
"You do know that you are my favorite among the younger generations." Ascalor stated with a cough.
"You just want something from him. Get away from him. Anyways, you do know that my research is coming to a stand still lately and I felt that I need a breath of fresh air. Do you want to accompany me on a journey?" Koronn stated.
"Seriously…these two need to step back. Do not pressure the kid on going somewhere when he just returned. Did you know that my babies are missing you? Why not visit my ranch that has been transformed which is thanks to you?" Pann stated.
"I am quite busy right now because I have certain matters to attend to as the City Lord. I will get back on you later when I am free." Adrian replied.
"I see. Make sure to come to me first then." Ascalor stated.
"No! You should come with me first! Did you not enjoy our adventure in the River of Time?" Koronn stated.
"Adventure?! More like torture. My babies would like to see you since some of them are giving birth. Make sure to come to my ranch before these two nobodies." Pann stated as the three suddenly started gripping each other as they left the area.
Adrian thought that they were acting weird but the three could actually feel it. They could feel that Adrian is radiating something like a lucky aura around him which is why they wanted him to accompany them. While Adrian was still coated in this, they want to use it to the best of its duration.
"Anyways, thanks for informing me on how my islands evolve. Do you think that the same thing will happen if I get more islands?" Adrian asked Yewdrassil.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"That would be unlikely as the islands only evolved due to perfect circumstances. This event will not likely happen in the future, but it could still happen given the correct situations." Yewdrassil replied.
"If that is the case then let it all be up to fate. I still need to finalize something. Thanks for keeping me company." Adrian stated as he bid farewell to Yewdrassil and looked for Piggy Bank to discuss his next plans.

"Equinox! You finally decided to visit my Merchant Guild Branch here in Avalon!" Piggy Bank stated as his body jiggled.
"Sorry about that as I was very busy." Adrian replied.
"No need to say that when I was able to see your feats of excellence. Thanks to you guys, the tourism in Avalon skyrocketed. Players of all parts of the world has become your fans when your videos circulated. You even talked smack about the Goddess of Light Luminaria.
You have received both praise and admonition from what you did but any type of publicity is good. The streams of new players choosing this as their starting city also increased. I am also curious of what happened to the territory because it seems to have expanded." Piggy Bank stated as his excitement overtook his mouth that made him overtalk.
Adrian then explained everything that happened and Piggy Bank listened with intent. Piggy Bank's merchant instincts suddenly kicked in full gear as he took in everything that Adrian told him. The most explosive news he heard are the specialties of the islands and the Pocket Dimension Home.
