Fairy, listen to my explanation.

Chapter 647 Am I an unserious person?
As she drew closer, Qin Yu was surprised to find that there weren't as many spirits surrounding her as she had imagined.

It seems that there are not many elves in this vast space.

However, every fairy who saw the Flower Fairy would bow respectfully and did not show much malice towards Qin Yu behind her.

Soon, as they drew closer, Qin Yu felt the shock brought by the World Tree more and more clearly.

When you stand at the foot of the World Tree, a sense of awe arises instinctively from the bottom of your heart. It is not fear, but an instinctive awe for something that exists eternally.

The Flower Fairy glanced at Qin Yu, and when she saw the only look of awe in the latter's eyes, a hint of surprise flashed through her mind.

It should be noted that when the Empress accompanied her to the Elven realm, the changes in her expression far surpassed those of Qin Yu.

Is this guy's temperament really that stable?

The Flower Fairy was unaware that when Qin Yu broke through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, the power of the fire sparks was integrated into his blood. Perhaps it was because of the awakening of his bloodline power that he did not feel that tremor originating from his bloodline when facing the eternally existing World Tree.

Qin Yu looked up and saw that the tree trunk was like a wall reaching to the sky, extending to both sides. The entire trunk could not be seen as far as the eye could see. The grooves in the bark were as deep as canyons, and liquid emerald green light flowed from every crevice.

The tree canopy above remains hidden in the clouds, and ancient runes naturally formed on the surface of the trunk appear. These runes are not carved, but appear and disappear as the tree veins pulsate. Faintly, one can even hear the whispering echoes emanating from them, like ancient gods making a low prayer.

However, Qin Yu soon discovered that on this world tree, which was so breathtaking that words could hardly describe it, there was a scene completely different from its magnificent vitality.

Within the towering, sky-like canopy of trees, there is a large expanse of withered trunks. The once verdant branches have cracked and peeled away, revealing the gray, rotten wood beneath.

The withered branches twisted and pierced the sky, as if their vitality had been swallowed up by the deep sky. The veins that should have flowed with emerald green vitality have now dried up into dark ravines, like blood vessels that have been emptied. Occasionally, withered yellow leaves drift down with the wind.

At the boundary between the dry, withered branches and the emerald green light, hundreds of green rays of light converged.

Upon closer inspection, one could see the figure of an elf within each ray of light.

"In order to alleviate the depletion of the ancestral tree, our clansmen can only maintain it with the power of their own lives."

The Flower Fairy looked solemn, glanced at the twelve elders behind her, and spoke to Qin Yu. Her melodious voice carried a hint of heartbreaking loneliness.

The twelve elven elders did not linger. After bowing, they transformed into streaks of emerald light and disappeared into the branches of the World Tree.

Qin Yu's expression was solemn. No wonder she hadn't seen many elves along the way. It turned out that most of the elves remained on the World Tree, using their meager strength to maintain its vitality.

However, it is clear that the power of the elves alone cannot stop the Tree of Life from withering.

The withered branches were visibly eroding the once vibrant, verdant World Tree at an almost undetectable rate.

If this continues, I'm afraid that within a few years, most of the World Tree's trunk will wither away!
No wonder the Flower Fairy was so anxious; it seems the situation of the World Tree is far more critical than she described.

Qin Yu looked up and her gaze fell on the location of the twelve elves. Above them, a green glow swirled, teeming with life, and a noble figure could be vaguely seen.

"His Majesty is unable to extricate himself and has been stuck there for over a year."

Seeing the direction of Qin Yu's gaze, the Flower Fairy paused and explained.

"Your Majesty? The Elf Queen?"

Qin Yu's pupils contracted, and she did not rashly use her Heavenly Eye to look at the emerald green light.

"Rest for a few days first, then come with me to see it."

The flower fairy gestured.

It took Qin Yu less than a month to travel from the Great Yan Immortal Kingdom to the Elf Kingdom, which means she clearly didn't rest during the journey.

"No need, let me try it first."

Qin Yu shook her head, her expression solemn.

At the rate at which the Tree of the World is dying, every day of delay will result in a portion of its trunk withering away, depleting a massive amount of its life force.

Moreover, along the way, he only needed to invest spirit stones to propel the flying boat at the fastest speed, while he maintained his daily cultivation in his natal space, so there was no question of the fatigue of the journey.

A strange light flashed in the flower fairy's beautiful eyes.

The promise she made to Qin Yu last time was not fulfilled because Qin Yu left the capital. And normally, even when faced with Chuan Ying's unreasonable demands, the Flower Fairy wouldn't do such a thing.

Originally, the idea was to fulfill the promise first and let Qin Yu taste the benefits before she would try it wholeheartedly.

Unexpectedly, Qin Yu suddenly became serious, which caught her off guard.

At this moment, Qin Yu was completely unaware of the Flower Fairy's thoughts. Of course, given his righteous and awe-inspiring attitude, he was not in a hurry.

Hmm, taking a quick look shouldn't take much time.

"call out!"

Amidst a swirling glow, the Flower Fairy, carrying Qin Yu, soared into the air and landed on a sturdy tree branch.

About ten feet ahead, there was a boundary between the lush green light and the dry, cracked branches.

The once emerald green bark had long since peeled away, revealing the grayish-white wood with cracks all over its surface.

Beside her, the flower fairy gazed at a patch of dry, withered branches in front of her, a hint of sadness in her beautiful eyes.

When did the World Tree begin to wither?

Qin Yu looked solemn. From below, she was shocked but did not think the situation was that serious. However, from this angle, all she could see was a withered, cracked landscape.

The sacred tree, which should have been full of life, was now deathly still, devoid of even a trace of life.

Moreover, the withered branches stretched to the horizon, and in the distance, broken and fallen branches, resembling mountains, could be seen. Clearly, this could not have happened in a short time.

"The ancestral tree first began to wither more than a thousand years ago."

The flower fairy replied in a solemn voice.

It was from over a thousand years ago that, apart from her, no other elf was born on the World Tree.

"Ever since the anomaly appeared, our clan has been searching for a way to revive the ancestral tree."

The Flower Fairy's expression somber, she slowly recounted: "In the past decade or so, the ancestral tree has been withering at an accelerated rate. If it weren't for His Majesty and the clansmen pouring in their life essence, I'm afraid..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu felt a chill run down her spine, and her gaze involuntarily turned to the top of the Tree of Life in the distance.

Those beams of emerald light—were actually the result of the elves pouring out their life force to maintain the life of this divine tree?!
No wonder the Flower Fairy said it would take at most ten years...

By then, perhaps only one in ten of the Elven race will remain!
Qin Yu didn't ask any more questions. She squatted down and gently touched the dry, cracked bark in front of her. The texture was rough and dry, a stark contrast to the vibrant life behind her.

The next moment, Qin Yu's mind stirred, and her Heavenly Eye was activated.

In view, the World Tree should have been flowing with emerald-like spiritual energy veins, but at this moment, the area in front of it appeared as if it had been stained with ink, presenting a sickly dark brown color.

Even more frightening is that these dark veins are visibly eroding the healthy areas underfoot.

The flower fairy gazed quietly at the figure before her, a glimmer of hope rising in her beautiful eyes, but she did not urge him on.

For so long, only Qin Yu has given the Elven race hope that the withered branches of the ancestral tree could be revived.

This is why the twelve elven elders accompanied her to the border of their territory to greet her.

Although the elders did not show much enthusiasm, their attitude revealed how much the elves valued Qin Yu.

"To solve this problem, I'm afraid..." Qin Yu sighed softly, her expression grave.

If it's just a withered branch, inserting it into your personal space will revive it in no time.

But what we are facing now is not a small branch, but an endless silence!

Even Qin Yu wasn't very confident.

"Just try your best."

The flower fairy's eyelashes trembled slightly. After a pause, her voice was barely audible: "If you can do that, I can grant you... any request."

Qin Yu turned around and saw that the Flower Fairy had a captivating figure with flowing black hair, exuding an ethereal charm, like a fairy who had mistakenly entered the mortal world. She possessed an indescribable ethereal quality, and there was a hidden, profound nobility about her that stood tall between heaven and earth.

My gaze fell on that exquisite face that could shame the moon and flowers. Her fair skin was so delicate it seemed like it could be broken with a touch. Every smile and frown gave people a gentle and peaceful feeling, as if all the anxieties in their hearts would vanish in an instant just by looking at that perfect face.

Facing Qin Yu's gaze, the Flower Fairy felt as if she had been seen through, but thinking of the crisis facing the Ancestral Tree, her eyes remained exceptionally firm, and she showed no intention of dodging.

If Qin Yu can really do it, what does it matter if she has to give up everything?
"Fairy, do you perhaps think of me as such a shallow person?"

Qin Yu took a deep breath and asked seriously.

From a certain perspective, the Flower Fairy was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. She seemed to embody all the beauty in the world, and every curve of her body was like a masterpiece of nature, without the slightest flaw.

Faced with such a perfect flower fairy, countless people would be willing to go through fire and water for her the moment she opens her mouth.

The flower fairy paused, unsure how to respond.

Is not it?

On the first meeting...

Moreover, if the Empress hadn't taken him out last time, who knows how outrageous his demands would have been. After all, in the past few years, every time Qin Yu made a teleportation, she would make some very shameful requests.

What decent person would make such a request?

"Your beauty is unparalleled; anyone would be captivated by you. However, I never imagined that your misunderstanding of me would run so deep."

Qin Yu shook her head, looking regretful.

He looked as if he had truly been wronged by the goddess in his heart.

Even though the Flower Fairy had already seen the true nature of this guy, she couldn't help but feel a ripple in her heart at this moment.

Could it be that I really misunderstood him?
"I am narrow-minded."

The flower fairy apologized.

Qin Yu nodded in satisfaction and said seriously, "I hope you remember, Fairy, otherwise, you might have to eat salt."

The Flower Fairy was taken aback. She didn't have the extensive knowledge of Qin Yu's Daoist partners and couldn't understand the meaning behind their words at all.

However, seeing the burning look in his eyes, she always felt that what he was saying about salt was definitely not something serious.

Qin Yu said nothing more and walked forward along the withered branches until she stopped at a branch that was at least ten feet in size.

Hidden beneath layers of withered branches, the splendor of the Elf Queen and her companions was no longer visible.

The Flower Fairy simply followed quietly behind him, showing no sign of backing down even though she had guessed Qin Yu's intentions.

"Fairy, could you please isolate this space?"

Qin Yu asked.

He didn't want anyone else to know about the secrets of his natal space.

As for the Flower Fairy...

That's different!
The Flower Fairy nodded slightly, asking no further questions. With a wave of her hand, a radiant light enveloped the area within a hundred feet.

"Let's start from there."

Qin Yu's gaze swept around and landed on a tree hole not far to the side.

The dark cracks between the dry, cracked bark resembled an unhealed wound. However, unlike ordinary dead branches, there was no rotten wood smell here, and the cave was more spacious than expected.

Upon seeing Qin Yu's actions, the Flower Fairy seemed to realize something, her pretty face flushed, but she resolutely followed behind her and entered the tree hole.

"Om..."

The next moment, the Flower Fairy suddenly realized that there seemed to be a strange spatial rift next to Qin Yu, but she could not sense where it was located.

Immediately, a rich spiritual energy surged forth, as if appearing out of thin air.

What surprised her was not only this spiritual energy, but also the faint, mysterious energy surging forth from it.

"This is?"

The flower fairy murmured, somewhat puzzled.

The power of space?

However, this continent is different from others, and even its power is completely different from the spatial fragments she has seen before.

"Fairy, shall we have a chat?"

Qin Yu's gaze fell on the Flower Fairy, and she tentatively spoke.

That stunningly beautiful face is so captivating that one can't help but want to be mesmerized by it.

As for the crisis of the World Tree's depletion, it stems from the depletion of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and the loss of spiritual energy. He can only try to nourish it with the power of his natal space.

"you……"

The flower fairy was taken aback. Wasn't she here to try to heal the ancestral tree?
What to talk about?
They even had to set up a special barrier, even inside the tree hollow.

The next moment, Qin Yu stepped forward, reached out and put his arm around her delicate shoulder, and immediately felt a soft and delicate touch in his palm.

The latter's bones were so delicate that they seemed as if they would break with the slightest force, yet her skin was as smooth and warm as jade, carrying a captivating fragrance of honey.

The flower fairy trembled, like a butterfly's wings startled by the morning dew, instinctively wanting to retreat.

"Fairy, you haven't forgotten what you just said, have you?"

Qin Yu gently pulled the graceful figure into her arms, and with each breath, a delicate fragrance wafted into her nostrils.

The unique warmth of the flower fairy seeped through his thin clothes, causing his heart to pound like a drum.

Qin Yu's fingertips unconsciously caressed her soft shoulder, and an involuntary greedy desire to possess this tenderness welled up in her heart.

However, the fairy in her arms was delicate, and it seemed that even the slightest force would hurt her, which made Qin Yu feel conflicted.

[It seems like not many people are reading this, so I'll try to finish it quickly?]
