Staring blankly at the rising sun, its emotions finally stabilized.
Although still depressed, at least he was no longer dominated by anger.
"Roland, help me do something."
"Please say."
"Find information about other world trees. If they are dead, bring back their remains."
Looking at the depressed Evergreen World Tree, Roland smiled and said comfortingly: "Maybe you will think I am comforting you, but I always feel that the World Tree will come back."
"Except for prosperity, because it is not qualified to be a world tree."
Not only is it unqualified, it is even the culprit for the collapse of the World Tree system.
Although the decline of the elves is unstoppable, if prosperity had not stolen the position of Oro, perhaps the elves could have survived the Sixth Era under the protection of the ancient tree.
Of the several great empires of the past, only one remains now, and the Evergreen World Tree is naturally sighing.
Roland's comfort lifted its spirits.
Looking at Roland's calm expression, Chang Qing hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "Since three world trees are still alive, I will grant you the ability to find other world trees."
"The ancient tree of resurrection has given me the ability to detect."
"It's still young, and the abilities it can give you are too elementary. I can upgrade it for you."
Roland did not reject Changqing's kindness and accepted its gift with a smile.
Finding other world trees is their common goal, at least they are highly consistent on this matter.
The process of empowering was quick, and Chang Qing's expression was a little more proud. "As long as there are traces of the World Tree within a thirty-mile radius, you can sense it. I have also marked the last locations of other World Trees before they fell silent, so that you can find them more easily."
"Roland, you can tell me what reward you want."
Roland shook his head, his eyes were exceptionally clear, "Finding the World Tree is also my goal. Giving me the upgraded detection ability is already helping me."
"You don't need payment? This doesn't seem like the rumor about you."
"I'm not that noble, I just don't want to take advantage of you."
The Evergreen World Tree has existed for three epochs and has seen a lot, so it is better to be honest in front of it.
Unexpectedly, Roland was so straightforward. The Evergreen World Tree was silent for a long time, then sighed and said, "If you had made an excessive request just now, I would have tried my best to satisfy you, but I would never approve of you."
"If you are willing, I would like you to be my guardian."
Roland thought to himself, just as he expected, these wooden-headed people are all like this.
When doing business with them, you not only have to consider the pros and cons, but you also have to make them feel that this is more than just a transaction.
Becoming the guardian of the Evergreen World Tree not only allows you to obtain blessings from the World Tree and share the power of Evergreen, but also allows you to possess supreme glory in the Evergreen Empire.
If his marriage to Melanis had previously upset many elven supremacists, these people would become their most staunch supporters after he became a guardian.
The Evergreen World Tree immediately took action and summoned Seran and the elders of the Senate.
Seran and others, who had just experienced a storm, were in a state of unrest at the moment, but when they received the call from the Evergreen World Tree, they hurried over.
Faced with everyone's hesitation to speak, the Evergreen World Tree announced its decision to them directly.
Choose humans as guardians?
The elves were dumbfounded.
The previous guardian was Seran. He was the emperor of the empire and the most powerful of the Evergreen Elves. Everyone could accept him as the guardian.
Seran is about to attempt to break through to the demigod realm and needs a new guardian.
These days the upper elves are busy preparing for this new guardian.
Some people want to become the new guardian, some people don't want others to become the new guardian, and some people are wondering who Lord Changqing will take a fancy to.
After Melanis returned to the empire, the call for her to become the new guardian grew louder and louder, surpassing the current high priest Alvin.
She has both the strength and the bloodline; she is of the royal family and has great hope.
Some elves were unwilling to accept Melanis as a guardian not because of her strength or bloodline, but simply because they thought she would be an outsider if she married a human.
However, none of them expected the Evergreen World Tree to make such a decision.
Seran looked at the World Tree thoughtfully. Due to his special identity, it was not appropriate for him to express his opinion, nor did he want to express it.
It is good for the guardian to be a daughter, but it is also possible for a son-in-law to do the job.
It's better to keep the wealth within the family than to have the high priest elected.
If the high priest is ambitious, the guardian status may even cause the imperial power to change hands.
The change of emperors of the empire is just a matter of a word from the World Tree.
Although Roland becoming the new guardian is not the best outcome for Seran, it is also a suboptimal solution, and he is certainly happy to see it happen.
In Seran's opinion, although Roland had several wives, his daughter's position was very stable. There was no difference between Roland getting the benefits and his daughter getting them.
He was nine points satisfied and one point regretful. The high priest who was shattered just after seeing the dawn was indeed ten points or even nine points disappointed.
It would be fine if there was no hope at all, but it would be hard for anyone to accept when hope is clearly seen but is shattered unexpectedly.
The high priest's beautiful face lost all color in an instant, his clenched hands trembled continuously, and translucent light green blood dripped from his fingertips, but he was unaware of it.
Finally, she thought of Roland's only flaw and couldn't help but look up.
"Great Lord Changqing, I dare not question your decision, but I just want to remind you that those who are not of my race must have different hearts. Roland is a human after all. How can he be the guardian of the elves?"
Facing Alvin's questioning, Evergreen World Tree's voice was somewhat cold, but he still patiently explained to her:
"You are Alvin, right? I understand how you feel, but my decision will not change."
"In fact, Roland is one of your people."
what? !
Roland's race is undoubtedly human, so how could he be a member of the same race as the elves?
Even if we say that Roland is of the same race as the blood elves, it is barely justifiable, but they are tree elves.
Looking at the stunned elves, the World Tree said calmly: "Do you still remember Rogers, the famous genius of our race in the last era?"
Rogers is the foremost genius of the Sixth Age of the Evergreen Elves.
He broke through to the sixth level just after he became an adult, and then died unexpectedly.
His death caused a great shock at the time.
Such a talented super genius, whose cultivation progress far surpassed that of other members of the tribe, died unexpectedly after breaking through the sixth level and mastering the complete natural magic.
There must be a conspiracy here!
At that time, the Evergreen Empire organized a special investigation team to investigate the cause of Rogers' death.
The final conclusion was suicide.
This result was unacceptable, and the Evergreen World Tree ultimately ended the dispute.
World Tree determined that Rogers committed suicide, but left behind an intriguing statement.
"Death is not the end of Rogers, but the beginning of a new life."
The elves suddenly realized that the super genius Rogers was probably reincarnated.
But they still couldn't figure it out. There must be a motive for making such a dangerous choice as reincarnation. What was Rogers thinking?
Want power?
He is already the youngest to reach the sixth level, and it is only a matter of time before he reaches the peak.
Want power?
Among the elves, whose worship of power is second only to their worship of nature, possessing such great power means that one does not have to worry about power and wealth.
Since all of these are impossible, then what he most likely wants is a state beyond life and death.
The appearance of Roland and the reincarnation of Rogers finally coincided.
Everyone suddenly realized.
As expected of the former clan's top genius, he actually dared to go to the underworld to seek a way to survive.
As if to prove what he said, the Evergreen World Tree summoned a thick green light, enveloping Roland completely.
Covered by green light, the shadow of an ancient tree appeared behind Roland.
The aura of the ancient tree is exactly the same as that of the Evergreen World Tree. It is a genuine Evergreen Elf!
The elves' last doubts were also dispelled.
Since Roland was once the first genius of the tribe, he was one of them. Even though he was now wearing the body of a human, he would always be a genius of the Evergreen Elves.
I don't know who shouted the first sentence, but others responded one after another and congratulated Roland.
Among the crowd of people who came to congratulate him, only the High Priest Erwin's smile seemed forced.
Seeing her tangled expression, Roland took the initiative to come in front of her and said softly: "High Priest, Melanis will need your help in ruling the empire in the future. Please lend us a helping hand."
"I'm just an ordinary and stubborn elf. Maybe you should find someone more willing to cooperate to be the new high priest."
Alvin hesitated for a moment and spoke slowly.
Roland did not give her a chance to decline, and said firmly: "High Priest, the Evergreen Empire will always be the empire of the Evergreens, and this will not change."
"Although I was once the most talented person in my tribe, I am still a human in this life and an outsider. I will not change the existing structure of my tribe. I will only help Melanis."
Hearing Roland's words, the Evergreen World Tree was the first to be unhappy.
It snorted and reminded with a bit of arrogance: "What's the problem with a mere body? I can help you transform yourself and turn back into an Evergreen Elf right now!"
The elves were very excited about the World Tree's proposal.
Although they fully accept the arrangement of the World Tree, they still believe in their hearts that there are differences between humans and elves.
If Roland could become an elf, they would be more emotionally receptive.
Faced with such a tempting proposal, Roland chose to refuse without hesitation.
"Everyone's fate has already been determined. Since the hand of fate has made me a human in this life, there must be a reason for it. I don't want to change it by force."
The world tree and the elves were discussing bloodline, but Roland jumped straight to the point of bloodline, insisting that this was the best arrangement of fate, and avoided arguing with them about bloodline.
The elves are full of awe for the mysterious concept of fate.
Since Roland said this was the best arrangement of fate, they couldn't object.
The World Tree waved its hand to signal everyone to leave. Naturally, the elves did not dare to stay for long and dispersed one after another. Only Roland was left under the World Tree.
Looking at the towering World Tree that remained silent, Roland smiled and teased, "Thank you very much. Without your help in covering up the lie, it would have been troublesome just now. I just didn't expect you to lie so calmly."
"I don't know how to lie."
The Evergreen World Tree said calmly.
"Okay...wait!"
Roland's pupils suddenly contracted, and he asked in disbelief, "Am I really Rogers?"
"In fact, not only are you Rogers, you have even served as the only male priestess in the history of the Evergreen Clan."
Priestess is a position, and even if it is held by a man, he must be called a priestess.
In order to prove that he was not lying, the Evergreen World Tree simply told Roland the details of his two reincarnations within the tribe.
Such a true statement left Roland no room for doubt.
He was just curious.
"Can you restore my memory in the Styx?"
"That's not possible." The Evergreen World Tree did not lie.
"Then how do you know these moments of my reincarnation?"
"It's simple. After your accidental death, your soul stayed in your body for a while. I was curious whether you could transcend reincarnation, so I marked your soul."
Is this the right thing to do?
After countless years, he actually returned to his hometown as a human. Is this really fate?
As Roland's protector, Chang Qing thought about it and his eyes suddenly lit up.
