Chapter 2860 Spiritual Spring Revelation

Chapter 2860 Spiritual Spring Revelation

This time the angel did not reject Xia De. She raised her head slightly and looked at the clear sky in late autumn. After a pause, she said:

"Although I was also in the material world when the war took place, I was dealing with other things and did not participate in it, nor did I witness it with my own eyes. Therefore, what you heard from me was not first-hand information."

"It's okay, please go ahead."

The calm, transparent lake surface began to ripple as the lady walked. She only took two steps and then stopped:

"That was one of the most dangerous things that happened after the ancient gods left. The collapse of the World Tree caused the once united and powerful Elf Empire to fall apart, and the fanatics who refused to accept reality once rebelled within the Elf Empire.

But this is certainly not the most dangerous thing. The role of the World Tree in supporting the temporal stability of the material world cannot be replaced by any other existence. Although the Tree Father had already prepared a backup plan, the material world still went through an extremely dangerous period that is now completely unrecorded.

Among them, the evil creatures that emerged from the bits of debris that fell into the material world are one manifestation of that danger."

She nodded to Shade:

"Yes, there are certainly more than one wreckage after the collapse of the World Tree. You have never seen the World Tree in its heyday, so you naturally cannot imagine how tall and huge the World Tree was when it existed in the material world. Are you surprised by this?"

She asked Xia De, who shook his head hastily;

"Just keep talking."

"As an aside, you've actually seen a piece of the remains of the World Tree a long time ago, right? In the Fifth Era."

Xia De then quickly recalled his 15 time adventure experiences so far:

"Have it?"

"Ashes Valley - Abnormal Tree Academy. What do you think 'abnormal alternative tree' means?"

Xia De took a deep breath:

"There is a remnant of the World Tree in that academy?"

"No, the academy itself was built on the wreckage. The wreckage of the Yishu Academy was suppressed quite thoroughly. The academy has existed since the First Era, but after that it merged itself with the wreckage. Relying on its power, the professors of the academy can compress or expand the flow of time, so that students can study more efficiently.

I know what you are thinking. No, the formation of the special space in Ash River Valley has nothing to do with that wreckage. The academy fell into it after it was ruined. But I do not deny that the fact that the Different Tree Academy did not wither in the material world but appeared there is related to this.

As for the wreckage, it has also disappeared with the collapse of the Yishu Academy. I just want to tell you that some of the wreckage was processed and used by the ancestors, while the wreckage in the Vista Forest was too powerful and had to be sealed. "

She paused for a few seconds to give Shade time to digest the information:

"During the ancient war in the Second Age, only mortal demigods who were blessed and watched by the old gods were qualified to enter the frontal battlefield, because only they could barely face the enemy in the disordered time flow. Fortunately, although the overall strength of mortals in this era has weakened, the power of the sealed tree is no longer as strong as it was at the beginning."

"So what did the ancestors rely on to defeat their opponents? Was it the stronger power of time?"

Shade asked, but the angel shook his head:

"At the beginning of the Second Era, except for a few old gods, no force of time was stronger than the evil creatures born from the wreckage. They relied on earth, wind, water, and fire, or in other words, the world itself."

"I'm sorry, I don't quite understand."

"The supernatural power system of the material world has undergone several changes, and mortals in different systems understand the world from different perspectives. In the First Era and the early Second Era, people believed that the world was composed of four important elements: earth, wind, water, and fire. This basic elemental power theory can still be found in today's era."

In addition to moving objects, the basic spells of the ring sorcerers are to manipulate the basic elements to cast attacks such as "fireball" and "wind blade". The basic elements here are earth, wind, water and fire. However, the ring sorcerer system is quite large and complicated, so except for low-level sorcerers, basically no one mentions the term "basic elements".

"Earth, wind, water and fire represent the world, so by using the power of the four elements to symbolize the world, you can suppress the powerful evil. However, the material world is no longer the same as it was back then, so you don't need to try to imitate the methods of our ancestors."

The angel reminded him, and Shad then thought about the way the evil creature was hiding itself today, and whether it might be related to the damage it had suffered during the War of the Ancients.

But since this was mentioned, Shade asked the most important question:

"Since the Tree Father predicted what would happen after His departure, did He leave behind a way to deal with it? Was it an arrow?"

The angel looked at him with a smile, and indeed did not answer the question:

"There are many ways to fight against the tree now. If the nun next to you can make the First Flame more vigorous, she can completely free herself to burn the tree. Of course, this will also lead to the withering of this generation of nuns."

Xia De shook his head decisively:

"Since there are many ways, I will just look for other ways."

"Then let me give you some small hints about this ceremony of the chosen one. This may allow you to make a choice that is more in line with your thoughts at the end of this story. But before that, I want to talk to you about another thing. You have already seen the old god in the Fifth Age, right?"

The angel asked again. Since she had mentioned the "Strange Tree Academy" just now, Shade also understood that she knew about it:

"Yes, the teacher's guardian, the Lord of Black Robe, seems very kind, and he even said he would teach us."

The [Lord in Black Robe] is obviously related to the "Ancient God of Knowledge and Wisdom" [Secret Keeper], and the Cherubim in front of him is the most important angel of that ancient god. The two may have some connection.

"Well, please take this."

The pure white wings behind the wise man holding the staff suddenly spread out, and his empty right hand pointed at Shade.

Then dozens of glowing white feathers from the wings floated towards Shade, but these white feathers were not physical, because Mia couldn't catch them when she stretched out her claws.

After the white feathers floated into Shade's body, the pure miracle element stimulated the life ring to appear behind him. The life ring rotated under the clear sky and above the clear lake water. The fourth ring of the enlightenment spirit rune [Water of Wisdom] lit up, and Shade also heard "her" voice at this time -

【Stranger, you have come into contact with a "miracle."】

[Outlander, you have mastered the magic - Spiritual Spring Enlightenment. Place a drop of water on the forehead of a humanoid creature to calm the mind and enlighten wisdom. Corresponding to the [Water of Wisdom] spiritual rune.]

It was only ten o'clock in the morning on this Wednesday, and Shade already had two new magics:

"What do you need me to do?"

He asked, and the lady holding the staff, who had retracted her wings, shook her head:

"Although you can influence time and space at will without causing a time paradox, anyone who uses you is equivalent to trying to exploit loopholes in the rules of time, so I don't ask you to do anything."

Shade nodded and didn't ask any more questions:

"So what do you want to remind me about the ritual of the Chosen One of Time?"

"This world still needs a world tree after all."

She saw Xia De's eyes widened, but then he shook his head and said:

"But it doesn't have to be necessary. After all, no matter what, the end of the world is coming, and it can't be stopped by a world tree. Otherwise, there would be no need for the ancient gods to leave."

Xia De heard her hidden meaning:

"You don't mean to say that if the chosen one of time really appears, she will become..."

The angel shook his head and didn't want to say more:

“Now the great prophecy consisting of thirteen poems has turned to the eighth page, and the following stories will become more and more difficult.

This does not only mean that the enemies are getting older and stronger, but also that more troubles that have not been solved in the ancient era will emerge. You who have passed the test and obtained the title of wise man may encounter some choices that you must face. The end of the world is approaching, and the world is becoming unfamiliar to everyone. "

“Wait a minute, I still want to ask, whoever becomes the chosen one of time will become the new world tree, right? I don’t want Emilia to become a tree. I promised her that she can become whoever she wants to be, but I can’t turn her into a tree myself.”

"Calm down, a wise man will not give up thinking because of impulse."

She said softly, and the cat on her shoulder meowed worriedly. Xia De then closed his eyes, took a deep breath, waved his hand, let a drop of water float up from under his feet, and then touched it to his forehead.

He didn't feel any enlightenment of wisdom, but his anxious heart did calm down:

"The story I hate the most is that I want to do good for the person I love, but I don't realize that I am pushing her into the abyss step by step."

But if you think about it, Luvia was once the chosen one of time, but she never said that she had turned into a tree.

After adjusting his mood, he said:

"Sorry, I think I lost my composure a little bit. What else can you tell me about this Chosen Ceremony?"

"As for the rest, you need to find the answers yourself. But please remember to make decisions based on your own ideas. After all, all of this is a story you have witnessed with your own eyes. This story will last until the end of time, so don't leave yourself with regrets before reaching the end."

With a lot on his mind, Shad said goodbye to the lady in the lake. However, after he rode back to the White River Valley Vineyard, he did not go to Vista Woodland immediately, but went back home first.

It was drizzling in Tobysk today. Shade, wearing a black coat and with a gloomy face, opened his umbrella under the eaves of his house with a bang, letting the water drops falling from the eaves bounce away, and then walked into the "Steam City" of late autumn.
