Chapter 93: A Brief History of Elves

The visualization and engraving were successful, and his mental sea remained quite stable.

Little Weir opened his eyes with satisfaction, but instead of his familiar warm bed, he found himself in a corridor.

The surrounding bas-reliefs looked somewhat familiar, yet also strange.

The light from the ever-burning lamps was filled with a vibrant green glow.

“Where is this place? Did I fall asleep already?”

Unseen by him, a silver-haired beauty silently appeared behind him and lightly tapped the top of his head.

A pure white speck of light vanished into his scalp.

The silver-haired beauty came and went without a trace, and even Little Weir, who had been affected, didn’t notice a thing.

He only felt a dizzy spell, as if he wasn’t getting enough blood to his head, and the world spun around him, almost causing him to fall.

He managed to stumble and sit cross-legged on the ground, which made him feel a little better.

He shook his head for a moment before fully recovering.

“Am I not fully awake?” Little Weir pondered, and in the end, that was the only explanation he could give himself.

But the newly engraved basic rune in his mental sea was so real.

“Something is strange!” Little Weir thought for a moment and decided it was better to stop thinking, otherwise, it would be too tiring.

This time, he seemed to be more awake than usual, as if some things were no longer important, yet also very important.

“Who cares? Just follow your feelings and never look back!” Little Weir felt more comfortable being a brute.

He had been using his brain too much recently and felt a bit tired.

The light in the corridor carried a verdant green glow, and a clear sensation filled his entire body.

The lamp designs were elegant and luxurious.

Little Weir, who was familiar with various types of knowledge, immediately felt that they were elven artworks.

Yes, every lamp here could be called a work of art, exquisite and pleasing to the eye.

The material also looked different from ordinary materials; they were all made of wood.

The corridor wasn’t very long.

When Little Weir stepped into the hall, he wondered if he had walked into a dense forest.

Countless shades of green surrounded him, and various flowers, plants, and trees appeared on the walls.

Just by looking at them, Little Weir felt a bit mesmerized, as if he could smell the fragrance of grass and trees with every breath.

At the dawn of creation, a seed fell to the earth.

It absorbed the essence of the sun and moon, drew nourishment from the earth, and spent millions of years growing into a towering tree.

At some point, the great tree developed its own consciousness.

It saw the earth was desolate, so it used its limited innate wisdom to create flowers, plants, and trees, transforming its surroundings into beautiful, vibrant colors.

The scenery around its body became rich and diverse, but it still felt very lonely.

The flowers and trees appeared very humble before it.

It tried to soothe the emotions of these plants, but it could still feel their reverence and love for it.

But this was not what it wanted.

So, it used its own body to nurture fruits, and when the fruits matured, they transformed into tiny elves.

These little elves were born with extraordinary abilities, and they had an unusual talent for elemental magic.

Surrounded by these elemental spirits, the great tree finally felt less lonely and lived happily in its green kingdom.

It spread its philosophy to these little elves, making them equally love this sky and this earth, and diligently adorn this barren world.

Until one day, they encountered the sea, and from the other side of the sea, they learned that other creatures existed.

Thus, they welcomed a wave of interaction with the outside world, and a large number of animals joined this green family.

Clear-voiced birds carried elemental spirits, scattering laughter and blessings throughout the jungle.

Unicorns spread their beautiful wings and frolicked by the lake.

Jungle green dragons lazily coiled on the mountains, and chimeras circled in the sky.

Following the animals to this paradise were humans.

These were a group of humans who had come in distress; they were few in number and weak in strength, yet they possessed considerable wisdom.

With their diligent hands, they built beautiful villages in this paradise.

They gained the recognition of the elemental spirits and finally met the creator of this paradise.

They recited hymns for the great creator, bringing novel knowledge and different experiences to the great tree.

So, the great tree bestowed upon them beautiful appearances, healthy bodies, and long lives, and allowed the elemental spirits to accompany them, granting them extraordinary power.

They called themselves elves, to distinguish themselves from ordinary humans, and with their diligence and bravery, they created a great civilization, the elven civilization.

They called the great tree the Mother Tree, the Tree of Life, and regarded the elemental spirits as messengers of the Mother Tree.

They built a huge holy city for the Tree of Life and developed more ways to use extraordinary power.

They loved nature, enjoyed being with animals and plants, and yearned for a peaceful and stable life, yet they were brave enough to fight against foreign enemies and resist invasion.

They cherished their hard-won new life and would never allow enemies to easily destroy it.

They were loyal, optimistic, kind, and brave; they were good at singing and dancing, and yearned for all beautiful things.

The Tree of Life provided them with a beautiful environment, powerful strength, and long lives.

It used its body to open up a vast sky, expended its power to condense the Water of Life, and selflessly imparted its knowledge to the elves.

The elves also repaid the Tree of Life with everything they could give.

They established a race, a kingdom, a holy city, and several large settlements.

They used the power bestowed by the Tree of Life to develop new extraordinary professions: Elf Hunters, Thorn Knights, Elf Mages, Druids, Elf Rangers, Spirit Speakers, Priests, and so on.

The richness and beauty of the elves attracted countless covetous eyes.

Powerful dragons yearned for sparkling ornaments, barbarian orcs yearned for powerful weapons, greedy humans wanted to possess everything of the elves, and demons from hell drooled over the pure souls of the elves.

Countless enemies swarmed, and the brave and strong elves united to resist.

They tamed unicorns, chimeras, griffins, and hippogriffs to form an aerial army, once keeping the enemies at bay.

They tamed shadow leopards, giant horned reindeer, and saber-toothed tigers to form jungle teams, seeking out and annihilating all enemies who infiltrated their homeland.

The forest green dragons also responded to the call of the Tree of Life, specifically to fight powerful enemies, minimizing losses for the elves.

Just as the orcs, humans, and elves were locked in a great war, the strength of the human continent was largely mobilized.

The emissaries of the hell demons initiated a bloody sacrifice, opening the gates of hell and summoning countless hell demons, plunging humanity into a life-or-death crisis.

Caught off guard, large territories were occupied by hell demons.

Humans became food and slaves, resources were plundered wantonly, and endless slaughter and extreme fear allowed hell to open more portals and gather more armies.

The human invaders hastily retreated and proactively sent people to seek peace, requesting the elves to send troops to aid humanity and fight against the hell demons.

However, although the humans had left, the orc army remained, so the elves could only firmly refuse the human request.

Humans then turned to the orcs for help, and the orc troops, after demanding many benefits, agreed to send troops.

But the number of hell demons was simply too great.

The negative emotions of humans were their nourishment and the key to opening the gates of hell.

The ubiquitous hell demons made the human continent almost a living hell.

The ambition of the demons was endless; they even dispatched a large army to secretly infiltrate the orc continent, opening a new battlefield, and the orcs, caught unawares, also suffered heavy losses.

Hell demons also arrived on the elven continent.

The endless killing aura and countless corpses on the battlefield became their sacrificial offerings.

New gates of hell were opened, but this time they encountered the united elves.

After the human and orc invaders left, the elves did not relax; instead, they became more vigilant.

As soon as the gates of hell opened, the elven army quickly arrived, fighting for three days and three nights to clear out all the demons.

The Tree of Life personally intervened, killing a demon commander and destroying the gates of hell.

The Tree of Life’s abilities were beyond ordinary people’s imagination.

It used its boundless power to purify the demonic aura brought by the hell demons, and its strength greatly increased.

The demon army brought not only slaughter but also extraordinary powers belonging to hell and countless demonic equipment.

These things increased the elves’ foundation, significantly boosting their strength.

The battle on the human continent was incredibly brutal; human experts paid a huge price with heavy casualties, yet they still couldn’t drive the demons back to hell.

The war, instead, spread to the orc continent, as the hell demons still had the capacity to attack other continents.

The orcs were sufficient for self-preservation but lacked in offense, and naval warfare had never been their strong suit.

At this time, the sea folk, who resided in the ocean, stepped forward, bravely trapping the demon army on the human continent and helping the orcs transport troops.

The aura of hell affected the functioning of the entire world, so the gods intervened.

The Earth Goddess, Ocean Goddess, Night Goddess, Beast God, Dragon God, Moon Goddess, and Sun Goddess all took action, quickly defeating the hell army.

Finally, the hell demons performed a large-scale sacrifice, summoning a Lord of Hell.

The powerful Lord of Hell fought against the gods without defeat, even shattering the continent into pieces.

Countless people fled to the orc continent and the elven continent.

At this time, a human powerful individual found the Tree of Life and, on the condition of enlightening it to godhood and redeeming the souls of fallen elven warriors, asked it to use its true form to suppress the Lord of Hell and purify the shattered human continent.

The Tree of Life could not resist that human powerful individual and could only comply.

Under the gaze of the elves, it ignited its divine fire, condensed its divine body, and opened its own divine kingdom, transforming the souls of fallen elven warriors into heroic spirits and taking them into its divine kingdom.

Then, it transformed into her, using its true form to suppress the Lord of Hell, and then spent several centuries purifying the demonic energy of the shattered continent.

However, during these centuries, the elven continent was again invaded by humans and orcs.

As a deity, the Tree of Life was restricted by the gods from directly interfering in the wars of mortals.

“Kind, pure, and powerful, you have endured countless trials and tribulations, only wishing to no longer be lonely.

What you need is not subordinates, not believers, not enemies, not opponents, but family.

You can sacrifice yourself for your family.

May you live happily and warmly in the divine kingdom, and may the elven race always be peaceful and tranquil.” Little Weir sincerely blessed the first Tree of Life, that elf goddess who smiled so beautifully and purely.

Threads of emerald green light emanated from the statue of the Elf Goddess, falling upon Little Weir.

He felt incredibly warm at this moment, as if he had returned to his mother’s embrace.
