Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 1064: Tree Selection (Update)
He Ming had many imaginations about how the return ceremony of the Morningwind Elves would be held.

But at the moment before the ceremony, all these imaginations were wrong.

"You want me to choose a tree?!"

Leila Rei looked at the guide sent by the Sky Knight King in surprise.

This is an elven priestess wearing a white robe and a thorn headband forged from gold.

Her name is very long.

According to Andegrin, this is because they are responsible for certain important sacrificial tasks and are given many special names.

Whatever the reason, the name, which was too long to be read in a short time in a language understandable to humans, was eventually shortened to a simple name.

"Kwai."

Such a coincidental name made He Ming feel a little hallucinatory.

While I couldn't help but take a second look at this elf priestess, my mind couldn't help but wander.

"Fortunately, the other person doesn't have twin tails, and has a calm temperament."

"Yes."

The elf priestess named Kuisi had no idea that He Ming's thoughts were distracted because of her name. She just explained the next things to pay attention to to Layla Rei, the chosen one, with a serious expression.

Earlier, He Ming and his group, led by Andgrien, left Taixing and came to the "World Tree Forest" located in the core area of ​​the Morning Wind Elves' home planet through an exclusive channel.

This is a mysterious forest related to the origin of the Morningwind elves.

According to legend, the first morning wind elf on the starry sea was born in this mysterious forest.

And next to the place where they were born, a huge mysterious tree - the World Tree also blessed the Morning Wind Elves at the time of their birth, and granted the Morning Wind Elves the first morning breeze in the world.

From that moment on, the Morning Wind Elves were named after that morning breeze.

Since then, as the Morning Wind Elves stepped into the starry sea at the call of the prophet and experienced several disasters, the legends and secrets related to the Morning Wind Elves, especially the World Tree, became more and more mysterious and complicated.

But in the eyes of the Morning Wind Elves, these so-called legends and secrets are nothing more than rumors spread by the outside world.

The only possibility that the Morning Wind Elves could recognize was that the World Tree might be closely related to the towering tree rooted in the mysterious sea that was shown in a certain picture when the Prophet issued a call to the many civilizations in the starry sea.

From this, we can speculate that the world tree regarded by the Morning Wind Elves as the origin is very likely a branch of the towering tree standing on the mysterious sea.

of course.

This is not just a fantasy.

Instead, there are many cases that can provide proof.

Among these cases, the most obvious one is the "tree selection" that Layla Rei is currently participating in.

Every lost race found by the Star Sea Civilization or the Super Dimension Fortress, once it successfully completes the "tree selection" under the gaze of the World Tree, then this lost race can be regarded as a member of the Morning Wind Elves.

In the long years of the past, many lost races have successfully completed the "tree selection", but there are also more lost races and impostor "lost races" who have failed.

For Xinghai, every appearance of "tree selection" is a hot topic.

However, in this regard, the Jirel people's "tree selection" is unusually low-key.

Apart from Thai stars, there are almost no hot topics about this "tree selection" in the star sea.

"I have finished explaining the things that need attention! Master Leila Lei Lei Lei Lu, do you understand?"

After the elf priestess finished her explanation, she confirmed it again.

"Yes! I understand now! Thank you for your guidance, Master Priest!"

Leila Rei said respectfully after thanking her according to Jirel's etiquette.

"This is my duty. You're welcome!" The elf priestess Kuisi nodded slightly and looked at Andgrien beside her.

"Mr. He Ming."

The latter nodded and asked He Ming.

"Layla Rei, come on! No need to burden yourself! We are here for you."

Following He Ming's statement, Mireniel and Michela, who were not qualified for selection, stepped forward, hugged Leila Lei to encourage her, and then retreated behind He Ming.

"let's start!"

Leila Lei calmed down and said seriously.

As she finished her words, the door to the "tree selection" slowly opened.

At that moment, everyone saw a corner of the space where the "Tree Selection" was located.

Behind the door, there is a huge white circular platform.

Then, there are countless straight or winding paths connecting many circular platforms of different sizes, extending together to the huge white circular platform behind the door.

What caught everyone's attention even more was that among those platforms of different sizes, there were trees of different heights, some lush, some sparse.

"Those are the trees owned by the various races after they completed the "Tree Selection". They are all descendants of the World Tree."

As Andgrien's voice slowly sounded, he also noticed that everyone's eyes seemed to be more concerned about the trees with sparse branches.

He smiled slightly and said.

"Don't worry. Those trees will not die. Once the "Tree Selection" is completed, unless the World Tree withers, these trees will not wither. Of course, there is another possibility. That is that the entire race that has completed the "Tree Selection" will wither."

"So, after completing the "Tree Selection", the fate of the race will be bound to the tree?"

He Ming asked curiously.

"No, it doesn't. But the prosperity of the species will be reflected in the tree."

Andergrien pointed to the trees with lush branches and leaves.

"Those are trees chosen by races that have survived a relatively long time since completing the 'Tree Selection'. Judging from official reports and the lushness of the trees, these races have escaped the fate of extinction and are thriving again."

He Ming and Leila Rei looked at each other, and the latter took the first step with a determined look, starting the "tree selection" ceremony.

The next second after he stepped in, the door slowly closed, completely isolating He Ming and others from Leila Rei.

"The length of time it takes to choose a tree depends on whether the participants can establish a connection with the tree in a short period of time. So, how about we go to the rest room next door and take a break?"

Andergrien politely made a suggestion.

He Ming exchanged glances with his companions and nodded.

"That's fine! Just waiting is not a solution. Thank you, Your Highness."

"You are Welcome!"

But just as everyone took a step forward, there was a noise coming from the closed door.

Amid the rumbling sound, the face of the elf priestess Kuisi was instantly filled with shock.

"This, this is... the World Tree?!"

Amid the roar, a huge tree with a huge crown quietly appeared behind the opened door.

At this moment, everyone felt that they were being watched.
