"Begin." Gaven no longer hesitated and directly raised the Dragon Oak Staff in his hand, from which radiated a dazzling green light.
This time, instead of releasing life force outward, it became the center of a massive suction force with the Dragon Oak Staff and Gaven at its core, sweeping outward. Threads of green light floated off the natural spirits, converging toward Gaven.
The green light emerging from each tree resembled an unremarkable droplet, but when gathered by the thousands, it turned into a small stream.
And when hundreds of streams converged, a river took form.
When several rivers merged, they became an awe-inspiring vast lake.
Hanso the Great Druid, closest to Gaven, was the first to be affected. A powerful suction seemed to want to drag him into another world. Remembering Gaven's prior warning, he decisively gave up resisting. When he came to his senses again, he found himself amidst a green ocean with countless familiar soul voices echoing at his ears.
