Chapter 928: The Origin of the World Tree
The Far Winter Zhenguo Barrier was still in operation, and icicles as thick as buses stretched out from the clouds of the barrier body above and smashed into the branches of the sea of trees with the momentum of a meteorite, and the fallen wood chips and ice slag splattered in all directions like a landslide, and the roar echoed for a long time before it gradually fell silent amid the other roars.
However, Xiwei was no longer in the mood to care about the Far Winter Zhenguo Enchantment, the black smoke that swept overhead gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and the threat of the other party was obviously greater than that of the five High Elves who were moving more and more stiffly.
"The trees are withered...... he looked at the trees that had been pierced by icicles but were still alive, but now the sea of trees was beginning to wither and decay.
After thinking for a moment, Sivi turned around and grabbed the high elf who staggered to his side, holding his giant sword high and trying to cut him, but this time he did not continue to attack, but directly began to analyze the magic in the opponent's body, and tried to spy on the opponent's memory.
This method has a high failure rate for intact souls, but Sivi can bet that the souls of these High Elves are either mutilated or have long since dissipated.
I didn't use this hand before, purely because the other party was able to extract a power similar to magic through the Guò Shuhai Enchantment, and the interference of that power was no weaker than that of a complete soul, and now that the Shuhai Enchantment was about to wither, naturally there was no such concern.
Although the Mori Spirit Armament still caused a certain amount of trouble to snoop on the other party's memories, without the supply of the power of the Sea of Trees Enchantment, Xiwei finally broke through the protective layer and spied on the information he wanted.
――Dividing Line――
Every three hundred years, the High Elves perform a thanksgiving ceremony to thank the World Tree for giving them life.
Although it is a thanksgiving ceremony, it is actually a living sacrifice of the selected spirits to the World Tree.
The vast majority of elves consider it an honor.
Only Titiana didn't think so.
Why did the World Tree use such a meaningless way after giving us life? What about taking back these lives? Did the elders misread the meaning of the World Tree, or did the World Tree itself think so?
Can't understand, can't agree, but can't do anything about it. This is how Titiana feels about the Thanksgiving Ritual.
However, the High Elf, whose name means 'Momiji' in the Elvian language, was chosen as the next living sacrifice.
Due to the Daredevil's infestation, the High Elves had to abandon their original city and take refuge in the forests protected by the World Tree.
The Dareds are able to manipulate their own bloodlines. Through guò huge numerical superiority to consume energy of combat effectiveness.
In this era dominated by the night demons, the elves' manpower has been stretched thin, but even so, as a living sacrifice, Titiana still does not need to go out to work or defend against the attacks of the night demons, and all she has to do every day is to pray to the World Tree under the care of the Moon God Guardian and live a life of food and clothing as always.
Every time she saw her compatriots who had been badly injured and worse than dead being carried back to Linhai, Titiana would feel uncomfortable from the bottom of her heart, wishing that she could also be a part of the fight against the enemy outside. Live and die with other elves.
But no matter how many times she put this idea into practice, she would be immediately persuaded by the Luna Guardians to return to the most beautiful treehouse.
I don't know how long it took, the power of the night demon collapsed overnight, and the human race regained the dominance of the world, and several elders of the Moon Pavilion believed that this was the blessing of the World Tree on the elves who were in danger.
So the next thanksgiving ceremony is just around the corner. Since it was these elders who dominated the alliance with the humans, the High Elves had a chance to recuperate after the victory of the humans. As a result, their prestige has risen, and their proposals naturally do not attract opposition. What's more, in the eyes of the other elves, it is also a matter of course to hold a thanksgiving ceremony.
Titiana tried to escape, but the Luna Guardians outdid her, a common High Elf.
In the end, she had no choice but to compromise, and sat on the surface of the lake reflecting March in a natural robe woven of three thousand different leaves, as the living sacrifices of the past generations had done. became a victim of the thanksgiving ceremony.
It was unexpectedly good to be eaten by the World Tree, and although Titiana didn't even know how she had disappeared, she could vaguely notice that this chaotic state was very similar to the feeling she felt when she was born......
Then consciousness gradually drifted away, and countless wonderful knowledge flowed into her brain along with the disappearance of her consciousness.
World Tree Core, Tree Sea Alert, Divine Tree Hero, Alien Enemy, Twisted Spirit, Worm, Disaster Level, Soul Return, Elven Origin, Ecological Harmony, Earth Will, ......
Although she has no sense of self, Titiana's brain itself has not lost its ability to store information. On the contrary, it seems that because she has no thinking, she is regarded as an individual by the World Tree for backup, and a large amount of information is directly stored in her brain. Not only her, but also her predecessors of the past have been treated similarly.
The Thanksgiving Ritual seems to have been abolished due to human intervention, and no new offerings have been sent into the World Tree for a long time.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly an object with an evil consciousness was sent into the World Tree, and the insects that had been attacking regularly became even more threatening because of the influence of that object.
The other party wants to usurp the core of the World Tree, completely replace the World Tree, and become a great being in this world who knows the will of the earth, and the World Tree therefore uses most of its power to fight against the other party.
Sacrificed to Titiana, they became the heroes of the Sacred Tree, resisting the insects and erosion of the enemy in the Sea of Trees Barrier - it is ironic that the desire to fight side by side with her compatriots would be fulfilled in this way.
The confrontation was not smooth, and the core of the World Tree had no choice but to give up most of its control rights, and only then did it completely protect the core part, making the other party helpless, especially after the half-blood elf with angel blood came, the defense line was even more impregnable......
Then the evil substance seems to want to assimilate the souls of the half-blood elves who have not yet been reconciled by the World Tree, in order to create a flaw and break through the defenses.
To be honest, this is still quite dangerous, but fortunately, the half-blood elf soul that has been assimilated disappeared in a mutation, which saved it from being breached by the sea of trees.
It's just that I didn't expect that it didn't take long for a new intruder (Xiwei) to appear, and this time the intruder was unexpectedly powerful, and the cloud-like enchantment he summoned actually caused the sea of trees to stop, and the evil things that had been waiting for a long time naturally would not let go of this opportunity, and took advantage of this opportunity to begin to erode the core of the World Tree...... (To be continued......)
