Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 451 Simple Dreams and Yearnings

Under Tang San's persuasion, the naive Mengmeng and Niannian believed him. In addition to Tang San's words convincing them, the most important reason was his good looks and the life and natural aura he exuded.

Especially after Tang San released the Blue Silver Emperor, they, who already had an understanding of plants and life, worshipped Tang San as a true god.

"Great Lord Tang San, please go to our Elf Kingdom and spread your wisdom!" Mengmeng and Niannian pleaded.

"To be honest, I've never been to the land of elves." Tang San was naturally willing, but then he continued, "However, when you address me, there's no need to add a prefix. All things are born equal, and every life has its own value. Just like fruits, you may think they are born to be eaten, but in reality, after you eat their flesh, whether you collect the seeds or casually discard the pits, the seeds go to a much farther place."

"If plants could speak, they certainly wouldn't resent you for eating their fruit, because you also helped them spread their seeds, allowing their next generation to grow in more distant places and see scenery that their ancestors never saw, generation after generation."

"The fruit trees provide the pulp, which attracts you; you eat the pulp, which helps the fruit trees spread their seeds."

"This is a process of mutual exchange. In this relationship, you obtain food, and the fruit trees, through you, spread to the next generation."

"Therefore, there is no distinction of high or low status in terms of human dignity among different races. Those in positions of power should perform their duties accordingly; otherwise, they are abusing their power for personal gain."

When Tang San used the metaphor of "the interaction and survival between fruit trees and elves" to instill inspiration, the elves respected him even more. Some of the bolder elf ladies even took the initiative to approach Tang San to show their friendliness.

But Tang San refused.

After all, he's not so "scummy" that he sleeps with girls he's only met for less than a day. He has a foundation of feelings for Xiao Wu, Guang Ling, Ning Rongrong, Huo Wu, and others.

How could these bold and unrestrained spirits compare?

After walking for nearly an hour, Mengmeng and Niannian brought Tang San to the kingdom of nature spirits.

At this moment, Tang San and his companions were standing on a cliff a hundred meters high. About two hundred meters away, a waterfall nearly fifty meters wide was cascading down. Below the cliff was the Elf Kingdom.

Compared to other regions, this kingdom is over 100 kilometers in diameter, and the houses are mostly built on trees or by hollowing out the trunks of trees.

Between the trees, suspension bridges connect them in all directions, and when viewed from below the cliff, they appear scattered yet orderly, as if woven by a spider that is not good at weaving webs.

However, what is most touching is the towering tree in the center, which is nearly a thousand meters tall. The life force it exudes is second only to the golden ancient tree that Tang San has seen. It is covered with emerald green fruits, although some fruits are dark purple, but they all look very lovely.

"That is the Tree of Nature, and also the Tree of Spirits." Mengmeng saw Tang San looking at the fruit on the tree and introduced, "Those fruits are the seeds that nurtured us, or rather, our future sisters."

"Green ones can give birth to nature spirits, which are like us, possessing the power of nature and the element of light; while purple ones will give birth to moon spirits, who are born with a dark constitution."

"But we don't dislike moon elves. It's just that they often like to play pranks and don't like sunlight, so we can't play together. In fact, most moon elves went to the kingdom that the original moon elf established."

"Therefore, you cannot see the moon elves here."

Tang San nodded, saying nothing more, but then asked, "Are all you elves born from the seeds of the Elf Tree? Aren't there any elves born through the union of husband and wife?"

Under Tang San's divine sense, the body structure and internal organs of the elves such as Mengmeng and Niannian were no different from those of normal humans; at the very least, they all had reproductive organs.

Perhaps there is reproductive isolation between them and humans, but there shouldn't be any between them and elves, right?

"Yes," Nian Nian said. "Elves can be male or female, but they have no feelings for each other. There were outsiders who stayed in the elven kingdom and mated with elves, but the birth rate was extremely low... Now that I've heard about your identity, I guess you are also a successor of the creator god, but you probably didn't pass the test..."

"The offspring born from the union of humans and elves are called human-elves."

What a fucking shrew!

Tang San had something to say, but he held it in and chuckled awkwardly, "A shrewd person? I thought you were a half-elf."

"Um... I heard that about two hundred thousand years ago, the fifth human who came here called himself that, because there was also a race similar to elves in his plane." Mengmeng began to explain, "But the human in the kingdom felt that this was an insult, so he took the initiative to challenge him and defended his honor as a human at the cost of his life. The fifth human who came here also lost an arm and a leg, and then disappeared without a trace."

Needless to say, he failed the assessment and was rejected.

only--

Tang San still couldn't quite accept the term "human genius," but he could only skip the topic and asked, "Do human geniuses still exist in the current Natural Elf Kingdom?"

"There is another one, who is already 600,000 years old and has reached the level of a god, second only to the Lord of Nature: King Easton," Mengmeng replied. "But he is only a soul left and has fallen into a deep sleep. It is said that he was driven to a mental breakdown by watching the same scenery every day for 600,000 years... Anyway, I can't understand it."

Tang San was silent for a moment, then asked, "Didn't he consider leaving?"

"Leave? Do you mean leave the Eternal Realm?" Nian Nian shook her head. "As far as we know, there is only one way to leave the world of the Eternal Realm, and that is to defeat King Easton and gain his approval."

Actually, there is another way, which is to ask the user of the Throne of Eternity and Creation for help.

Luo Qiu and the thirteen moon elves left using Xu Huang's access privileges.

However, Nian Nian, Meng Meng, and the other elves are unaware of this. It's just that the Moonlit Elves are often used as test subjects by those being tested, and thus learn some of the truth.

As for the nature spirits, Tang San estimated that their queen might know some of the truth, while the others probably only knew of the existence of the Creator God.

Otherwise, when Tang San confessed to them that he was the one being tested by the Creator God, Mengmeng, Nian Nian, and the other elves wouldn't have been so shocked; at most, they would have been a little surprised.

Furthermore, the other examinees only knew that in the past, humans would come to their territory and wander aimlessly...
