One of the powers of the gods is that they can predict fate, but the gods rarely trust fate.

Because even the gods can't see the whole picture of fate, there are too many factors that interfere - fate is a rushing river, anyone can try to change it, but whether it can succeed can only be known when looking back.

For example, long before the turbulent year came, the murder god Baal predicted his own downfall.

Barr didn't think he was that smart, so instead of avoiding death, he planned to resurrect after death. He planted the whole world, and everything that could reproduce had both sexes spoiled and left offspring. If it weren't for the last rebellion of his own high priest, he would probably have been resurrected.

Similar to him, another goddess of magic who also predicted her fall thinks she's smart enough to control everything, so she tries to change her fate. After the arrival of the Sage in the Year of Turmoil, she tried to avoid death by returning to Heavenly Mountain via the ladder, and it was precisely this that led to her fall.

This self-righteousness of the magic seems to be in the same vein - the first goddess of magic fell because of Karthas's 11-ring super magic - but the key point in Karthas's magic, the method of how to vivisect the Quelas behemoth, is exactly what the first goddess of magic taught him...... She thought that this would envelop Karthas, but she did not realize that Karthas's love for the country had long since outweighed his personal feelings (Karthhas used that magic to save the declining Nether Empire).

In the future, both Tyr and Heim were resurrected from the dead.

They don't do anything superfluous, and as long as justice and duty are needed in the world, they will live forever. On the contrary, all the gods who set out to change their fate were all dead and were eventually replaced by others...... As if a mockery from fate.

Fate is so unpredictable, and Tymorrah claims to be able to influence fate, but in fact, all she can influence is luck...... A very small part of fate. The only person who can really jump out of fate to see the whole picture is perhaps the future lady of the city, and even the one who is now in charge of the city can't do it.

And below the lady, the only people who can know a little bit about their fate are those few great gods, such as the elven god Corelon, who has a theory that apart from the god Io and the lady, there can only be two gods20 and eight godheads19 gods in the multiverse, which means that theoretically there are no more than 10 great gods. When there are already 10 great gods, the gods of Godhead 18 will not be able to advance to 19 no matter how hard they try.

The reason why Kerelon's vision is wiser than others is because he understands the truth that "what has limits is power". As the main god of the race, Corellon doesn't care about what happens to humans and dwarves, or even about orcs, the enemies of the race.

When he limited the scope of his prophecies to all the creations of his race, he obtained prophecies that were far more accurate than others.

Corellon thus accurately predicted the decline of the Elven Empire.

*****

Shen Yan was amazed at what he saw—but if he only discovered it from his perspective, then even Shen Yan would not be able to understand the secrets of this dual world even in his entire life.

We can only explain this from a higher level.

When Corellon discovers that a race that multiplies quickly and dies quickly will inevitably replace the elves, he realizes that he has made a mistake by creating the elves too perfectly...... All roads lead to Rome, but there are people born in Rome; Life is a struggle, but some people carry three generations of children, parents, and grandparents to support, and some people have 500 million in their pockets to spend casually.

The elves can't compete with other races at this stage, and they can't even coexist peacefully, but it's not the elves' fault.

Only when those races have solved the three major problems of survival, longevity, and culture, and turned to focus on spiritual civilization, will it be possible for everyone to survive together. Now the aggressiveness of these races is brought about by the survival instinct, and there is no solution at all - this is the idea of Corellon, and the elves are the race that stands at the end of civilization.

Regardless of whether this idea is right or wrong, from then on, before the crisis of the Elven Empire arrived, Corellon created a world called Avatar and "moved" the entire Elven Empire.

Avatar is a land of watch and illusion, and the realm of the elves will only return when the major races of the world follow in the footsteps of the elves.

But this cutting is not hard-and-comm, the elves who are nostalgic for the old glory of the empire see migration, distancing, and rebuilding; The elves who accept reality see the decay, extinction, and dispersion of great empires. Because of the elves' long lifespan, this process lasted for thousands of years. History has crossed the reptile and entered the stage of human domination of the world.

So who is seeing the real thing? The truth is that every remnant of the old empire sees something true and something false. The fate of the elves and the god of history and the goddess of the elves' prophecies and illusions dominate it all...... When the cutting is completed, there will be only ancient lands on the continent of Faeron that originate from the elves, and will also have contact with the world of Avatar, such as the orchard behind the Thunderwood Village.

But only with the elven bloodline from the ancient elven empire can you see and even go to this real world here.

Michelle's bloodline comes from the forest elves, and Shen Yan's bloodline comes from Gwendolyn Ardred, the daughter of Demon Duncan, and the white city that Shen Yan saw was located on the Neverwinter Volcano - there were five tall white towers in the center, one of which belonged to Gwendolyn Ardred!

The All-Knowing Minaret, also known as the Lily Minaret......

*****

"Little brother, do you know where Uncle Yarlin and they went?" When flying, Michelle was still nagging in Shen Yan's ear, "There is also Xiao Yasha, who is so close to me, but she doesn't say a word when she moves away...... Little brother, before I saw you, I even wondered if I accidentally overslept...... How did I wake up and suddenly the world changed. ”

Michelle stuck out her tongue as she spoke, and Shen Yan didn't know where to start.

Michelle seems to have remembered some things, but she seems to have forgotten a lot of things. Shen Yan was afraid that it was a kind of mental damage, and rashly mentioning it might cause deeper damage. It seems that Erebeth knows something about this, so it is best for him not to say anything until he asks Erebes. After all, when he met Michelle in the future, she never mentioned her life in Thunderwood Village.

Although Michelle nagged, she was actually only slightly dissatisfied.

The unequal amount of time is one of the main reasons why elves are reluctant to become friends with humans. Sometimes I sleep for a long time, and my friends are gone...... The elves are also helpless.

Michelle flew out of the orchard with Shen Yan in her arms and flew towards a small house on the edge of an elven town.

PS: Lao Lei hates to write settings, and this part of Michelle's settings now seems too complicated. Because the follow-up main Elven Kingdom chapter, Gwendoline, and Omniscient Spire chapters will not be written, this part will also be simplified as much as possible. The main body is still in the adventures of Neverwinter and another world.
