The entire hive plane, with the Great Rift Valley as the dividing line, occupies half of the country.

The Elven Alliance, with five elven tribes of nature, darkness, mountains, caves, and sacred, form an elven alliance.

The five elven tribes, each occupying one side of the water and soil, seem to be close, but in fact they are loosely related, and they will not easily form an alliance unless there is a war.

The Divine Elves are the best of the five elven tribes, not only the most powerful, the most transcendent status, but also the most noble and graceful appearance, manners, etc.

The Elven Royal Court, located in the boundless Azure Grassland, is the main city-state of the Divine Elven Tribe and the imperial capital of the entire Elven Alliance.

When Lin Yang came to the Elven Royal Court, it was already late at night.

"It is worthy of being the imperial capital of the Elven Alliance, and it is still so lively at night." Walking on the street, there were brilliant lights everywhere and people coming and going, Lin Yang couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, Lin Yang was wearing a hat on his head, his face was covered with a scarf, and he was surrounded by elves, and he could hardly see other races, and no one recognized him as a human, but he didn't attract much attention.

Turning a street corner, a shop in front of him aroused Lin Yang's interest: the Elf Hotel.

It's a bizarre restaurant, bar, and inn, with a large interior space and affordable prices, so even though it's late at night, there are still a lot of people who come for supper and have a good time.

Casually found a place in the corner and sat down, Lin Yang called some wine and food, he has been in a hurry for so many days, and it is indeed time to reward himself.

On a table not far away, several elven men and women were talking, and their topic aroused Lin Yang's interest.

"Hey, guys, did you hear that? Something seems to have happened in Rift Valley recently. ”

"Something happened to Rift City? The city in the Grand Canyon? A person said in disbelief: "That city is like a lump of iron, it has been standing in the Grand Canyon for thousands of years, I don't know how many peerless powerhouses live in seclusion in the Grand Canyon, when our elven alliance and the Zerg army fought in the Great Rift Valley for I don't know how many years, the Rift Valley City is safe and sound, now in the era of peace, what can happen?" ”

"Stupid, of course I'm not talking about war!"

"What's that?"

"Just a few days ago, Rift Valley City elected a new city lord!"

"Poof!" Someone squirted out a sip of wine he had just drunk, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't talk about it!" I thought it was a big deal, wasn't it just a city lord selection, such a trivial matter, and put it on the table! ”

"But this time the selection of the city lord seems to be really a little different." One person said.

"What's different?"

"I heard that the next lord of Rift Valley City was taken away by a human, and this human has an unknown origin, it seems that he came from another plane......

Lin Yang's heart moved, and he asked from the side: "Dare to ask a few brothers, what is the name of this human being?" ”

"It seems to be called Lin Xiao......" The man touched his head and said, "It's really a weird name, I can't remember it a little bit......"

Lin Xiao!

Lin Yang was taken aback, he had seen him once when he was in Rift Valley City, and of course the other party obviously didn't pay attention to him. And just that time, Lin Yang concluded that this Lin Xiao was by no means simple!

Only Lin Yang himself knows that Lin Xiao is a player like him, and he is a veteran player who has experienced many closed betas! And what's even more tricky is that he also led a large number of players who also came through the closed beta!

I faintly felt bad in my heart, Lin Xiao was definitely a careerist, he occupied the position of the city lord of Rift Valley City, what means did he definitely use, and Lin Yang had a hunch that this Lin Xiao was about to make a big move, maybe some earth-shattering conspiracy was about to surface, and the hive plane, which had been quiet for hundreds of thousands of years, was probably not calm anymore.

But no matter what, these things are not what Lin Yang cares about.

Originally, Lin Yang escaped from the Lawson plane, his purpose was the dusk plane, but due to some kind of unknowable failure in the plane passage on the way, he came to the narrow half-plane of the hive plane.

No matter what, the hive plane was just a small episode for Lin Yang.

"It's time to go, stay in the Elven Court for a few more days, and see where there is a dimensional passage. I'm all too familiar with the Dusk Plane, and if I want to embark on my journey to conquer the Endless Plane, the first one must go to the Dusk Plane! Thinking so, Lin Yang ate the food on the table, and then opened a room on the second floor, ready to sleep.

In the past, there was no incident.

The next day, as soon as it was dawn, Lin Yang came out of the Elf Hotel early and walked along Kangzhuang Avenue towards the central area of the Elf Imperial Capital.

In the center of the imperial capital, there is a huge square with a radius of tens of thousands of meters, in the center of the square is a huge tree of life, the thick trunk of twenty or thirty people can not hug each other, dark green branches and leaves towering into the sky, covering the sky and the sun.

Compared to the natural elven tribe in the depths of the elven forest, the tree of life in Tree Heart City, the tree of life in front of him was obviously stronger and taller, but it seemed that it had not evolved to the level of becoming a world realm tree. Another more obvious difference is that the Living Tree in the Heart of the Tree has been transformed into a city built on a large tree by the Nature Elves, and the Living Tree here is obviously uninhabited.

The shade of the trees almost obscured the entire square, and many elves, boys, boys, and girls sang and laughed and danced in the square, which was peaceful.

In front of the Tree of Life, there was a row of golden statues side by side, which aroused Lin Yang's interest.

Walking in front of this row of statues, Lin Yang couldn't help but be in awe.

There are nine golden statues in total, lined up in front of the tree of life, each with a different demeanor and extraordinary momentum, proudly looking at the world, and on the pedestal under each pure gold statue, there is an inscription.

Each of these statues is the embodiment of every elven king in the past dynasties!

There's even a female statue in it, the Elven Empress!

The Elven King is the supreme ruler of the entire Elven Alliance, not only holding supreme authority, but also all of them are powerful and have a lifespan of more than 10,000 years. Calculated in this way, the nine elven kings are at least 90,000 years old, and the history of the hive plane is probably more than 100,000 years.

"100,000 Years Half-Plane ......" Lin Yang couldn't imagine that this half-plane was already fully qualified to be promoted to a sub-plane like the Lawson Plane! And the secondary plane, after millions of years of development, will have the opportunity to be promoted to the main plane! Of course, there are some special planes that are not included in this promotion rule.

Nine pure gold statues of the elf kings, shining with golden light, and the inscriptions on the pedestals record the merits and deeds of life.

Among them was a statue that aroused Lin Yang's strong interest.

Strictly speaking, it was no longer a statue, only a pure gold base remained, and the feet firmly cast on the pedestal, and the parts above the feet had long since disappeared. In addition, on the pedestal of this statue, all the inscriptions are also hung in a mess with sharp blades, and it is completely impossible to see what is written.

Pulling a passerby casually, Lin Yang smiled and asked, "This little brother, can you tell me what's going on with this statue without a body?" ”

The elf boy glanced at Lin Yang and said, "You're not an elf, are you?" Even Thomas the Great didn't know what to do. ”

"Hehe, little brother guessed correctly, I am indeed not an elf, but a human traveler from Rift City." Lin Yang smiled embarrassedly and said, "Then can you tell me, who is this Thomas the Great?" ”

"Thomas the Great is Thomas the Great, I don't know anything else!" The elf boy shook Lin Yang away and walked away on his own.

"......" Lin Yang was speechless for a while, almost going crazy.

But the more this is the case, the more he wants to get to the bottom of it, and he asks many passers-by one after another, and the results are all similar, it seems that everyone here knows Thomas the Great, but wants to ask some details, but no one is willing to tell him. Later, the hard work paid off, and finally an old elf on crutches told Lin Yang the truth.

"You can't blame the children, except for the name Thomas the Great, they really don't know what to do." The old elf shook his head and said, and then smiled mysteriously: "This was a long time ago, at least 50,000 years ago, in fact, the old man I don't know much, young human beings, come and sit here, I will tell you all the people who know the way." ”

So, the two sat down on a bench next to them.

After a while, Lin Yang finally came to his senses.

The so-called Thomas the Great is a certain elf king fifty or sixty thousand years ago, and he is also the most powerful one among the elf kings of all generations. He once even led the elven army to cross the Grand Canyon at one time, and he couldn't raise his head at all to suppress the Zerg, and retreated to the edge of the Worm Hive plane, to the point of being in danger of lingering, which is also a unique great deed. However, like the emperors of any other race, because he was too powerful, although he made many great achievements, he also made many great mistakes, and later generations had mixed reviews of him.

And the biggest mistake he made was to cast a mass grave and throw all political enemies, officials, and even ordinary people who disagreed with him into the mass grave, and no one survived.

The mass grave has long been abandoned, and now it is located in the depths of the azure grassland hundreds of miles away from the Elven King's Court, and has become a barren land.

After the death of Thomas the Great, the political structure he established during his lifetime quickly collapsed, and some politicians who had been suppressed by him for a long time launched a riot, that is, in that riot, his pure gold statue was destroyed. Later, his name became taboo for a long time, and his life deeds were gradually forgotten, and to this day, there are not many achievements that can be left behind.

"I see, that's ......" Lin Yang was deeply shocked, and at the same time felt sorry for this unmasked Thomas the Great. According to what the old elf said, Lin Yang speculated that this Thomas the Great, in his lifetime, had definitely reached the level of a demigod, but unfortunately he was born at the wrong time and in the wrong place.

If Thomas the Great had been born in a sub-plane, such as the Lawson plane, then he would have already embarked on the path of becoming a god.

The old elf stood up tremblingly on crutches, smiling and preparing to leave.

"Senior, wait, I want to ask a question." Lin Yang suddenly said, "What's the matter with the last statue?" ”

"You mean Edwin's statue?" The old elf laughed.

"Yes." Lin Yang nodded and said, "If I remember correctly, Edwin is a contemporary elf king, and he is still alive in the world, right?" Why is there a statue of him here? ”

The old elf shook his head, explained while smiling, and walked farther and farther: "Elf King Edwin, is the strongest under Thomas the Great, and is gentle, well-governed, under his leadership, the living conditions of the entire Elven Alliance are improving day by day, under the promotion of many supporters, the Elven Court made an exception to build a statue for him during his lifetime, and in recent years, Edwin will surpass Thomas the Great, and the call to become the first emperor of the ages is getting louder and louder, all of this is the desire of the people......"

Lin Yang was stunned.

Whether the elven king Edwin can surpass the exploits of Thomas the Great, he doesn't know, but the gap between the word "emperor" and the word "king" is not a star and a half. At this moment, Lin Yang suddenly had a ridiculous idea, he really wanted to meet this elf king Edwin and see what kind of person the other party was.

So he turned his head and looked in a certain direction.

There is a vast palace complex that is home to the elven royal family.
