After resolving the issue in Talgar, Richard came to the area beneath the canopy of the World Mushroom. This region was the "Holy Domain" of the Holy Tree Elf, void of any buildings except for the Holy City built by the Holy Tree Elves, who had even relocated their buds.
In the central nest of the Holy City, a black crow was deeply asleep.
Ulysses had made a miscalculation years ago; he had predicted a few decades, but he had now been asleep for nearly thirty years.
During these thirty years, the energy fluctuations within Ulysses had continually increased. According to Richard's prediction, today, Ulysses' energy would reach the limit for third-level creatures.
If Ulysses didn't wake up now, Richard would have to prepare for the worst—Ulysses might sleep until he became the World Master.
Watching the black crow, whose energy fluctuations were gradually intensifying, Richard could only pray and wait, considering Ulysses was also a "God"; thus, Richard did only the latter.
Buzz!
