Chapter 123 Communication with the First Savior

When the dark elves, who had been exiled for countless years, set foot on this land close to the sacred tree again, they stood under the sacred tree, looking up at the towering tree with lush branches and leaves, the green leaves shining in the sun, and the trunk engraved with traces of time.

There were indescribable emotions surging in their hearts.

Never expecting that one day they would be able to return to their birthplace, they approached the sacred tree to feel the innate connection and sense of belonging.

As the spiritual symbol and source of life for the elven race, the sacred tree's grandeur and majesty inspire awe in all elves, even the exiled dark elves.

Everyone was waiting on the high hill of the sacred tree.

The high elf priests led by Phyllis were too shocked after learning the truth about the sacred tree. As the elves with the closest relationship with the sacred tree, they had been in charge of the sacrifices for so many years but had not been able to learn these secrets from the sacred tree.

So they decided to hold a communication ceremony in person, hoping to confirm the truth from the sacred tree.

Xu Ya followed them into the tree hole. The entrance of the tree hole was lightly covered with moss and vines, revealing a trace of time. Entering the tree hole was like entering a secret space isolated from the world. The inside of the tree hole was not dark but illuminated by a soft and warm light, but the light source could not be found.

The walls of the tree cave are entwined with the roots of the sacred tree, which interweave like sculptures to form complex textures. The air is filled with a natural fragrance, which may be a mixture of the soil, plants or natural odors inside the tree cave.

Phyllis, Ceris, Alice and Sheris each occupied a corner, stroking the thick roots and began a series of complex ritual movements and prayers. Here the sound seemed to be amplified and echoed, and the sacred whispers and prayers echoed in the cave.

Under the caress of the ancient wind, we gather here and pay our sincere respects to the great you with the voice of our hearts.

May your roots be deeply planted in the earth, your branches and leaves flourish, and your life last forever.

We need your wisdom and guidance....

This time, Xu Ya gradually understood the spells and prayers of the high elves, but as time passed, they became more and more solemn until their faces were filled with disappointment and confusion. Obviously, they did not get any useful information from the sacred tree.

"What happened? Something happened to the sacred tree?"

Xu Ya waited quietly for the ceremony to end before asking.

"Nothing happened... But He didn't respond to us."

The leader, Ceris, had a barely perceptible glimmer of tears in her eyes. Although she usually looked casual and relaxed, she actually had a deep affection for the sacred tree.

Although the silence of the sacred tree has become the norm since its decline, every failure makes people feel unprecedented frustration, as if even the closest parents have closed the door and turned their backs on their children and turned a deaf ear to them.

"It's right to call that dark elf... Evelyn. I hope she can create a miracle."

No matter how they called upon the spirit of the sacred tree, there was no effect, and everyone walked out of the tree hole.

The elves outside also felt this heavy atmosphere. They exchanged glances silently, not knowing what to do.

Xu Ya walked towards Evelin and put his hand on her shoulder: "It's your turn, Evelin. It's up to you whether you can get the response from the sacred tree."

The Dark Elves stepped forward, even though they were seen as unworthy products of the sacred tree.

But at this moment, Evelyn nodded firmly, but this was the first time for her to do such a thing.

"Relax, I will always stand by your side."

He reached out and gently stroked Evelyn's cheek, feeling the tenderness and warmth of her skin. His fingers slowly slid over her eyebrows, eyes, and nose, and finally stopped at her soft lips.

Evelin closed her eyes slightly, immersed in Xu Ya's touch, and the anxious atmosphere was swept away in an instant.

She took a slow, deep breath, gradually calmed down, and then took brisk steps.

The cursed sacred tree priestess did not enter the tree hole, but crossed the hill and came to the tree hole and stopped, then slowly waved her hands.

Xu Ya followed closely behind. He needed to communicate with the soul in the sacred tree through Evelyn.

But I didn't expect to see a magical scene.

Evelyn's clothes changed into another set that was closer to nature and made of less fabric than her daily clothes, just like a magical girl changing clothes. She was left with a pair of uniquely shaped golden nipple covers, and a cool translucent light pink gauze arm and leg guards.

The simple outfit not only protected her key parts, but also made her elegant and agile. In her hands, she held two sharp short blades, shining silver, reflecting dazzling light under the sunlight. Her originally gentle girlish temperament and figure also changed drastically, returning to her true form as a dark elf.

The dance began.

Evelyn slowly moved her arms, each movement full of grace and control.

Her arms drew graceful arcs in the air, and her sharp fingertips gently touched the air, capturing the natural energy around her, as if weaving an invisible net. Her arm movements were not only a physical stretch, but also a spiritual connection. In this way, she synchronized with the spirit of the sacred tree.

As the ceremony progressed, Evelyn gradually increased the amplitude of her movements, raising her legs high, revealing a perfect combination of strength and flexibility. Her legs slid through the air like a tall tree trunk pointing straight to the sky.

Witnessed by the sacred tree, Evelyn's dance became more devoted and focused. Her movements blended harmoniously with the natural environment around her. She seemed to have become a part of the sacred tree, having a silent dialogue with the tree through dance.

As the dance reached its climax, Evelyn's movements reached their peak, her toes drawing sharp tracks in the air.

The sacred tree seemed to be touched by her devotion and enthusiasm, and began to show unusual signs. A subtle vibration filled the air, as if the roots of the sacred tree were gently trembling in the earth, responding to Evelyn's call.

Suddenly, a shining light appeared in the outline of the witch's body. It was a soft and sacred light that shone from under her skin, dispelling the darkness around her and bringing an unprecedented brightness.

In the light, Evelyn's figure appeared even more holy and noble, as if she had truly become the incarnation of the will of the sacred tree.

As the light grew stronger, Evelyn slowly stopped dancing. She turned around, with a goddess-like gentleness and kindness on her face, but her pupils were staring at Xu Ya with deep meaning.

Evelyn gently approached Xu Ya, and her lips gently pressed against his. This was not a simple kiss, but a profound spiritual exchange. Through the contact of the skin, Evelyn, as the medium and carrier of the will of the sacred tree, began to convey some deep information to Xu Ya.

'Kill the elves', 'Take back what was taken away'... These voices kept echoing in Xu Ya's mind, and these voices carried a confusing power, trying to erode his mind.

However, Xu Ya's heart was not defenseless. His heart had long been assimilated by a more powerful force.

The dragon heart that had just been strengthened gave him extraordinary tenacity and strength, allowing him to withstand this mental impact. His eyes revealed a hint of perseverance and determination, indicating that he would not be easily swayed by these voices.

At this moment, Xu Ya realized that this might be the torture that Evelyn had to endure every day, this mental burden and challenge. His respect and love for Evelyn became even deeper, and he knew it was time for him to protect her.

"The first generation savior! I am the savior of the elves! Let her go, come to me if you have any problem!" Xu Ya also poured his will into Evelyn, and then conveyed it to the sacred tree through her body. "I know your past and pain, but the elves who murdered you are all dead, please don't entangle the innocent new generation anymore!"

"Innocent?" A mechanical, toneless, clear voice responded. There was no unhappiness or anger in the voice, but it contained a creepy feeling. It was as if an invisible sight that could see through everything was firmly focused on him. "The sins of the elves have become too serious to redeem. I was forced to be brought here, carrying irrelevant tasks, and eventually even my life and body were taken away, becoming the mother of the elves. Ignoring my wishes and the children who were waiting for my return in another world... for more than 100,000 years!!"

At this time, the forest became quiet and the sun was covered by clouds.

Evelyn suddenly clenched her teeth, as if she wanted Xu Ya to feel the pain as well, and bit his lip, causing blood to splatter and more memories to come out.

That is the memory of the first female savior after she was sacrificed, as the memory of the sacred tree.

She was forced to merge with the sacred tree. Her flesh and blood became part of the sacred tree, and her soul experienced great pain in the fusion process, just like crushing a foreign object and mixing it with another object. Her human spirit was torn apart and her will was gradually destroyed.

Fortunately, the ceremony was completed successfully before her soul was completely crushed.

Her residual soul was imprisoned in a void seal deep within a mother tree. Her consciousness was sometimes clear and sometimes confused. Every time she woke up from her deep sleep, she would feel a deep contradiction and pain.

She was able to sense the outside world, and was filled with mixed emotions as she saw the elves prospering because of their sacrifice.

The soul of the female savior was once noble and kind. However, after being forced to sacrifice her life, she was able to comfort herself at first, thinking that at least she had saved a race and alleviated her inner resentment and pain.

As time went by, however, she began to question whether her sacrifice was worth it.

Because she saw some elves, who although looked bright and beautiful on the outside, were full of greed and hypocrisy in their hearts. These elves with beastly hearts seemed to live with peace of mind over her sacrifice, and enjoyed the fruits of the price they paid.

This anger and resentment continued to accumulate in the savior's heart, and she felt a pain of betrayal.

Why do good people always have short lives? Why do those who deserve to be punished continue to be at large in this world? These questions are like a thorn, deeply embedded in the heart of the soul, making it impossible for the broken consciousness to calm down.

Finally, the anger and resentment that were condensed from the unanswered questions reached a peak and exploded.

Eventually, this resentment broke through the seal and was released with the help of the huge energy of the sacred tree, conveying its dissatisfaction and protest to the world.

The force was so strong that the entire mother tree began to tremble, the leaves rustled, as if responding to the roar of the soul, the flowers began to wither, the streams became turbid, and even the air was filled with an oppressive atmosphere.

The elves felt this unusual vibration, their hearts were filled with anxiety and fear, so they began to appease the sacred tree.

The first person affected by the resentment was a familiar figure, the young Noel. This half-blood child with elven blood but conceived in a human body came to the sacred tree and tried to use the blood relationship to calm the tree's abnormal movements.

However, the mother who had lost her mind regarded her daughter, who had sinful blood, as a tool. The elves offered Norn, and she used the human blood flowing in Norn to exert her mother's influence on her young daughter.

Kill, kill, kill! Kill those enemies who killed your mother!

The immature Norn immediately underwent a transformation under the blessing of his mother's resentment and the power of the sacred tree. The beautiful red hair of the former elven elder turned black, and the beautiful green in his eyes turned into the color of Khorne, which foreshadowed blood.

"I understand, Mom. Elves are bad guys, so let me get rid of these pests."

At this time, Noel was muttering to herself, and there was no more innocence and purity in her eyes, but instead coldness and madness.

The whole look was frightening.

Randomly, Noel, who had gained amazing power, began to kill the elves around him who had no idea what was happening!

This was an indiscriminate massacre.

Noel holds a staff that was once endowed with divine power, but now it has become a weapon for her to slaughter her compatriots.

Her power, supported by the sacred tree, became extremely powerful, and every swing was accompanied by the shadow of death.

It travels between elf villages, indiscriminately attacking every elf it encounters.

Regardless of gender, age or status, even the newborn elves who had just been born from the sacred tree and had not yet had the chance to experience the beauty of this world, no one could escape the disaster.

Noel's transformation to the dark side caught the entire elf community off guard. They couldn't believe their eyes and couldn't accept that this firstborn son with special significance had become their biggest threat.

The village of more than 100,000 years ago was filled with terrified screams and helpless cries, but these sounds had lost their meaning to Noel.

In this indiscriminate massacre, some surviving elven priests and warriors began to organize themselves. They realized that the elves, who were broken into pieces, were no longer able to fight against the blackened Noel who was controlled by the dark power they created.

All he could do was to restrain Noel as much as possible, slow down her killing spree, and rescue the others.

Chapter 124: Communication with the Mother-in-law of the Divine Tree

Innocent elves were killed by Noel. Their blood dyed the green grass red, and their wailing echoed among the branches of the sacred tree.

The elves who survived the catastrophe could only flee from the sacred tree, which they once regarded as a holy place, with deep sorrow and fear, and wander around for survival.

But Noel, who protected the sacred tree from being exploited by the elves, did not give up. Instilled with the obsession of revenge, she spent the next few hundred years like an immortal ghost, replacing her immobile mother, hunting down the surviving elves.

During this long process, the original elves were almost wiped out. The last batch of elves were forced to flee to the underground kingdom, which is a mysterious area isolated from the world and full of unknown dangers. But the darkness and depth there provided the last refuge for the survivors.

This is how he escaped from Noel's pursuit.

As time went by, Nor's strength was gradually consumed. In this continuous killing, the mother of elves witnessed all of this happening, and her desire for revenge and resentment gradually subsided and eased. She woke up from her boundless anger.

As her sanity returned, she realized that her actions had caused an irreparable tragedy. Countless innocent lives had been lost because of her impulsiveness, and the entire elven community had suffered huge losses as a result.

The savior soul in the sacred tree was filled with regret and self-blame, and decided to take action to correct his mistakes. His subordinates suggested using their own power to seal Noel's memory and erase the bloody killing from her memory. Then they created a false memory, describing Noel's behavior as a fratricide within the elves, a tragedy caused by the division and contradiction within the tribe.

Noel was given the mission of revitalizing the elves again.

As time passed, the sealed memory was gradually forgotten, and the elves prospered again under the protection of the sacred tree and the leadership of Noel.

However, this time, the divine tree consciousness, which had taken the initiative, instinctively rejected the shadow of the old elven era.

To prevent history from repeating itself, she guides Noll to implement a strict eugenics screening policy.

The purpose of this policy is to ensure that the elves can reproduce offspring that are more gentle, kind, and in harmony with the will of nature, thus getting rid of those negative traits that may lead to disasters.

Under the guidance of the sacred tree, Nor established a complex screening mechanism to conduct strict evaluations on the new elves. Children who showed excessive curiosity, instinctive lying, ambition and even aggression were considered to have too much of the old elf nature and might threaten the harmony and stability of the tribe, so they faced the fate of being eliminated.

On the contrary, those children who are gentle, kind, and content with the status quo are considered to be more in line with the standards of the elves of the new era, and are allowed to stay, receive the blessing of the sacred tree, and be allowed to stay with the sacred tree.

Although this screening process is cruel, in the eyes of the sacred tree consciousness, it is a necessary step to ensure her peace of mind.

As the policy was implemented, the elves gradually changed. The descendants of the elves who were selected and left behind inherited the qualities of gentleness and kindness, and gradually became the guardians of Alfheim.

Those children who were believed to have the characteristics of the old elves were abandoned. However, no one expected that these abandoned elves were taken away and raised by the elves returning from the underground kingdom, and gradually formed a new ethnic group - the dark elves.

After that, the female savior was tired after venting her anger and fell into a deep sleep again, passively recording information from the outside world until she was completely awakened again...

The consciousness of the Elf Sacred Tree was still slowly awakening, and Xu Ya, whose consciousness was connected to the Sacred Tree, passively shared the secrets buried by time.

A huge torrent of memories flooded into his mind, those were the countless memories and knowledge carried by the sacred tree.

Xu Ya felt that his head was about to burst with this information, but he struggled to bear it and tried to sort out the key information. As his memory gradually became clearer, Xu Ya found that his understanding of the elves was being reshaped.

He didn't expect that there were so many details of the history he knew that had not been discovered.

History is like a little girl who can be dressed up by anyone, interpreted and narrated in different ways by different people. The history told by each person is incomplete, some truths are hidden, some contents are covered up, and it is impossible to get the complete truth.
