"Ling Tian, why are you here? What just happened here? Aoki came to Ling Chen's side and asked in a hurried voice.

"I'm here to see my sister and I didn't do anything else. Just as I was about to leave, the tree suddenly grew, and I didn't know what was happening. Ling Chen replied truthfully, standing close to Aoki, he could clearly feel the emotional turmoil from Aoki that was so strong that it almost condensed into substance, and he asked rhetorically, "What is this elven tree?" ”

"The Elven Tree is the Tree of Origin of my Elven Clan, the Tree of Life!" With a deeply excited old voice sounding from behind her, the dead wood grandmother walked slowly to this side, and the old eyes full of tears looked at the elven tree that broke out of the water without blinking: "I didn't expect that in the year when I was about to die, not only did I wait for the liberation of the whole clan, but also saw the reborn elf tree, I was really dumbfounded." ”

"The Tree of Origin? The Tree of Life? ”

"That's right." Aoki nodded, raised his head slightly, looked at the light of the Elven Tree, and said with infinite melancholy: "The original name of the Elven Tree is no longer known, but in the ancient times when the gods and demons danced, it was a sacred tree that carried the power of endless nature. It grew up in this elven spring, and the elven forest was born from it. As it grows, the power of nature becomes more and more abundant, and finally condenses into a spirit, giving birth to the first spirit of nature...... It is the highest belief of our elven race - the goddess of nature. ”

Granny Deadwood followed Aoki's words and said in an old and hoarse voice, but as thick as a mountain: "She has no strength to fight, her strength attributes are sacred, natural, purified, benevolent, and life. Although she is a spirit born from the Elven Tree, in the hearts of our elves, she is the supreme deity. Because it was she who cultivated the first elf with the power of the Elven Tree...... That's why we elves exist. Without the Goddess of Nature, none of our elves would exist in this world. In essence, the goddess of nature is also a spirit, and we who have been nurtured are also the spirits of nature with her. Therefore, she is also the supreme ancestor of our elven race. ”

"Original...... So. Ling Chen nodded slightly, he had heard the word "Goddess of Nature" from the mouth of the elves more than once, and he had felt it early on that their belief in the Goddess of Nature was far superior to that of the Moon God, the supreme existence of the Divine Moon World. And in the chronicles of the Forgotten Continent, he did not find any record of this "goddess of nature". It turns out that she is not a "god" in essence, but a "spirit" with a similar nature to the beckoning cat. It's just that one is a spirit of nature and the other is a spirit of strange treasures. But in the elves' hearts, she is the true God.

"So, the Elven Tree disappeared later?" Ling Chen said thoughtfully.

"Yes, a long, long time ago, it disappeared...... No, it was it, together with the elven goddess, that went into a long sleep...... I have slept peacefully until today. Granny Deadwood burst into tears, and her clumsy body tried to make a pious gesture and worship the newborn Elven Tree...... The day that many ancestors have been waiting for is finally waiting for her today, "It was about 10,000 years ago." At that time, the Forgotten Continent had just suffered a catastrophe called the 'Shura Tribulation', and although this catastrophe finally subsided, it almost paralyzed the entire Forgotten Continent, and even the strongest Moon God Clan and the strongest Beast Clan, the Taixu Dragon Clan, were greatly injured. At this time, the demon clan that had been gathering momentum for a long time suddenly appeared, causing chaos in the world, making the Forgotten Continent that had not yet escaped the shadow of the 'difficulty of Shura' and the disasters on the continent were everywhere, and the people were in dire straits. Its leader, the Demon Emperor, is extremely powerful, and his strength is no less than that of any of the three supreme goddesses of the moon god. At that time, the three goddesses of the Moon God Clan were all in the Shura battle, and the Moon God made countless losses, and the Taixu Dragon Clan was also closed due to the difficulty of Shura. ”

"So, the Moon God Clan found the Holy Beast Golden Crow, which has the strongest destructive power and is the biggest nemesis of the Demon Clan, and then found the Elven Secret Realm, and let the Goddess of Nature lead the Elf Clan to solve the disaster brought by the Demon Clan. The benevolent goddess of nature naturally would not refuse, and she led the entire elf clan to go out with the Moon God Clan and the Golden Crow to exterminate the Demon Clan. At that time, there were tens of millions of demons in the Demon Clan, and their comprehensive strength was incomparably huge. After a long and tragic battle, it was finally destroyed, and the Demon Emperor also died in the flames of the Nine Suns of the Golden Crow. But since then, the golden crow has never appeared again, and life and death are unknown. The Moon God Envoy also suffered a large number of casualties, and my elven clan suffered heavy losses...... The Demon Destroying Clan can be exchanged for the stability of the continent, and even if there are countless deaths, our clan has no remorse. However, in the midst of that terrible battle, the goddess of nature was attacked by a large amount of demonic aura, and a month after the end of the war, she finally could no longer maintain the state of 'spirit' and returned to the elven tree, and after another month, the elven tree also began to decay until it completely withered...... Death, and in the end, only a dry tree species remained, buried deep in the Elven Spring. ”

This is a secret belonging to the elf clan, and it is said to Ling Chen without reservation at this time, obviously because of his unadulterated trust. Ling Chen listened quietly, and then nodded slowly: "It turns out ...... That's right. That is, all these years, the seeds of the Tree of Nature have been in the Fountain of the Elves, and have never germinated and grown? The goddess of nature, has she never appeared again? ”

"That's true." Granny Deadwood said abruptly, "Do you know why the elves were so prosperous back then, but now they are so withered? That's right, it's because the elves have a worse reproductive ability than any other race, but, when the goddess of nature exists, the elves are by no means inferior to humans in their ability to reproduce. All because of the slumber of the goddess of nature and the tree of nature. Without the power of the elven tree, the power of our elves will be weaker and weaker from generation to generation, and the breeding of the next generation of elves will become extremely difficult. Today, there are only 2,000 elves left in the once prosperous elf clan. ”

"So, now that the Elven Tree has regrown, will the power of the elves be further improved, and it will be much easier to give birth to the next generation?" Ling Chen asked.

"There's nothing wrong with that!" A comfortable smile appeared on Aoki's face, and he opened his arms to face the Elven Tree: "This is the breath and power of the Elven Tree in the record, I feel that the cells in my whole body are beating happily, and my elven power is also ready to move, like a young sprout in the spring, wanting to grow again...... Great, we elves have finally been truly reborn. ”

Perhaps, the decline of the elves can be alleviated by combining with humans and using the human reproduction ability. However, the elves born after combining with humans are no longer pure-blooded creatures after all. If it weren't a last resort, the elves would never want to make such a choice. At this time, the elven tree miraculously reappeared, and the elves did not need to plan to combine with humans at all. The crisis of decay has been fundamentally resolved.

"That's why we've been desperately protecting the Elven Fountain from anything that defiles it. Because the seed of the Elven Tree is in the Elven Spring, generations of ancestors have longed for the re-germination and growth of the Elven Tree all their lives. The Fountain of the Elves is the last of the purest water in the world, and the only fountain of nature that can give birth to the Elven Tree. If it were defiled, it might never be possible to give birth to the Elven Tree. Therefore, for generations, the Elven Spring has been a place that my elves must desperately guard, and will never allow foreign creatures to approach and touch. ”

"Ling Tian, didn't you and Cai'er really do anything here?" Aoki asked cautiously, the Elven Tree shouldn't suddenly appear for no reason, something must have happened here just now.

Ling Chen thought carefully for a while, but still shook his head: "After Cai'er and I came here, I just watched Shui Ruo in the sky for a while, and Cai'er accompanied me by the side, didn't go to other places, didn't touch anything, and didn't even say a few words. Just as we were about to leave, a green light shot out of the water, and then the Elven Tree suddenly grew. ”

Ling Chen thought carefully about the scene after his arrival. From the time he came to prepare to leave, because his heart was full of water, he did not make any superfluous movements, nor did he say any superfluous words. Oh...... If there had to be anything superfluous, he remembered that when he finally took his eyes off Shui Ruo, he seemed to shed a tear...... But the sudden growth of the elven tree could not have anything to do with his tears.

“…… Why did the Elven Tree suddenly appear? Could it be that something happened here when we were not here? Aoki muttered to himself in confusion.

"Look at Cai'er, she seems to be a little wrong." Ling Chen reminded Aoki and Deadwood's mother-in-law. From the moment the Elf Tree broke through the water, Cai'er's body has been shining with pure turquoise light, and her whole person is like losing her soul, looking at the Elf Tree in a daze, and her small body suspended in the air is motionless.

Cai'er's abnormality had been seen by Aoki and Deadwood when they arrived, but they didn't show surprise. Deadwood Granny said slowly: "Don't worry, the light on Cai'er's body is because she is too close to the Elven Tree, so she has been reactivated the elven power in her body, that is to say, her elven power is reawakening and growing further under the influence of the Elven Tree, and it will become stronger and purer than before." Any elf that comes near the Elven Tree will do so. Hehe, it's been 10,000 years, the Elf Tree has finally reappeared, and Cai'er is lucky enough to become the first Elf to bathe in the power of the Elf Tree...... Oh? ”

Before she finished speaking, Granny Deadwood's voice suddenly stopped, and a look of surprise appeared on her face, and Aoki's expression changed slightly in an instant.

Because the turquoise light on Cai'er's body suddenly expanded more than ten times in an instant without warning, and formed a green circle of light with a diameter of five or six meters, accompanied by the power of the elves that also expanded many times in an instant. This extremely dense spirit power made both Aoki and Deadwood feel slightly suffocated.

"What's going on?" The astonishing aura made Aoki, who had the power of the gods, take a step back, and then he was deeply shocked: "Even if the power grows again under the Elven Tree, it will not grow to this extent at all...... This strength is almost more than me! ”

Ling Chen was closer to Cai'er, and his body was pushed more than ten meters away by the sudden outbreak of the elf storm, and when he heard Aoki's words, he was also shocked: Growing up to Aoki is still strong? Although Cai'er was not weak before, her strength was at the fairy level in her early 40s, but Aoki was a great god at level 100!
