However, it was useless to think about that now. Be it Chief Elder Randy or Cheyenne, they were more concerned about the benefits that the Tower of Dusk would reap after obtaining the Seed of Eternity.
If the legend was true, and if the Tree of Eternity could really be reborn, then the future growth of the Tower of Dusk could only be described as terrifying.
The High Elves born from the Tree of Eternity had perfect magical talents that made people jealous. However, the power of the Tree of Eternity was not only reflected in the birth of the High Elves. It was said that the power of the Tree of Eternity had a nature-defying effect of improving one's magical talents. Even a mage with poor talent could break through to the Legendary-realm after bathing in the light of the Tree of Eternity.
During the Dark Age, the High Elven Queen had rewarded those who had made outstanding contributions, and one of the rewards was the honor of worshipping the Tree of Eternity. To put it bluntly, it was to let people meditate under the Tree of Eternity, and then use the power of the Tree of Eternity to change their talent and physique.
The reason why talent was called talent was because it was something that one was born with. It determined the highest achievement one could achieve in the future. If a person had poor talent, no matter how much effort he put in, he would only be able to stop after reaching the limit of his talent. Some people were born unable to learn magic, while some could only be a mage apprentice for life. However, some could smoothly reach the Legendary-realm.
Talent could not be changed through hard work, but the Tree of Eternity had the power to give people a new lease on life. Under the light of the Tree of Eternity, people would be constantly reborn, and their talent would be improved bit by bit. Of course, this was not something that could be achieved overnight. Even with the power of the Tree of Eternity, it would not be possible to change a person who had no talent at all into the Legendary-realm in a short period of time.
Alright, even if this process was not very easy, and would not allow the Tower of Dusk's strength to skyrocket in a short period of time, the Tower of Dusk did not need to wait for a fool to become a genius. However, the Tower of Dusk did not need to wait for fools to become geniuses. As long as they announced the news of the Tree of Eternity to the outside world, countless talented mages would naturally be attracted. When that time came, not to mention the Breezy Plains, even the entire Anril would have to grovel at the feet of the Tower of Dusk.
Lin Li was rather familiar with the various legends of Anril. When he heard Chief Elder Randy mention the Seed of Eternity, he immediately thought of what it meant. Looking at the Seed of Eternity floating not far away, he smiled at Chief Elder Randy and Cheyenne, and said, "Alright, I won't stand on ceremony now."
Of course, no one could see any trace of politeness in Lin Li's expression. Instead, he was determined to get the Seed of Eternity. This was not surprising. Faced with the one and only Seed of Eternity in the world, no one could resist such a huge temptation.
"Oh, please, please …" Elder Randy and Cheyenne exclaimed as they recovered from the shock. They tried their best to maintain the smile on their faces. However, beneath their smiles, they were already pounding their chests in regret, wishing they could chop off their own hands. If they had known that the third floor contained the Seed of Eternity, they wouldn't have fought for the items on the first two floors even if they were beaten to death.
So what if the crystal ball was huge? It was just a defensive item that could only allow people to hide in it and defend passively. Furthermore, it still had a limit. There was no such thing as an impenetrable defense in this world. Even the Sky Castles that were known to be indestructible had been destroyed one after another during the war at the end of the Dark Age.
Chief Elder Randy did not expect the crystal ball to protect the elves forever. He only hoped that it could help the elves turn the situation around at the most crucial moment. However, if they had the Seed of Eternity and the Tree of Eternity in the Emerald Forest, would the elves still have to worry about being invaded by others? By then, the human countries would be the ones worried.
To the elves, the Tree of Eternity would be too useful. Of course, the elves would not recruit humans. However, the benefits that the elves could obtain from the Tree of Eternity would definitely be much greater than that of humans. After all, almost all the elves now had the bloodline of the High Elves. The Tree of Eternity might not be able to bring the elves back to the glory of the High Elves, but it would definitely allow the elves to have an important position in Anril.
What a pity! Chief Elder Randy could not help but sigh in his heart. Was he really getting old after making so many mistakes in his decisions? He had been eager to get the crystal ball on the first floor, and did not have the courage to gamble on the treasures on the next few floors. In the end, he had missed one opportunity after another to revitalize the elves.
Cheyenne was in a good mood when he obtained the three standard equipment of the High Elves Magic Legion. In fact, when he went up to the third floor, he thought that he would be satisfied with what he had obtained this time. However, when he saw the Seed of Eternity, the regret in his heart was no less than Chief Elder Randy's.
Although the magical equipment that Cheyenne obtained was more valuable than the crystal ball, it was nothing compared to the Seed of Eternity. So what if he had the equipment of the Magic Legion? Would he be as powerful as the High Elves' Magic Legion just by equipping them? A group of Archmages was just a group of Archmages equipped with equipment. The difference between an Archmage and a Legendary-mage could not be made up for with equipment.
However, the Tree of Eternity could change one's magical talent. It might be a little exaggerated to turn a fool into a genius, but if one was talented to begin with, wouldn't it be easier for him to enter the Legendary-realm? Did anyone know how many people in Anril were stuck at the peak of the Archmage realm, and had almost no hope of entering the Legendary-realm? As long as the news of the Tree of Eternity spread, those Archmages who were stuck at this stage would immediately flock to the door.
However, it was too late to say anything now. Since they had come this far, they had already reached a certain tacit understanding through their previous actions, even though they did not make any explicit agreements. Since they had already taken the items at the front, they naturally had to give up the items at the back. They could not possibly let one person take all the benefits.
Furthermore, what made Chief Elder Randy and Cheyenne depressed was that Lin Li did not extort too much from them, be it for the crystal ball or the equipment of the Magic Legion, even though they were prepared to pay a huge price. In fact, he even made it sound as if he was reluctant to give up his conditions. In particular, Lin Li had even mentioned favors, and called them friends and allies. He sounded so righteous that it was touching. However, the result of him being so touched was that he didn't even know where to start when he thought about how to extort money from her.
Since the Seed of Eternity had such magical and heaven-defying powers, any kind of favor would vanish in the face of such temptation. Even the strongest alliance would not be able to avoid breaking apart. For the sake of the Seed of Eternity, be it Chief Elder Randy or Cheyenne, they would definitely not be soft-hearted because of favors. After all, it was not uncommon for them to stab each other in the back when they were searching for treasures.
However, Chief Elder Randy and Cheyenne did not even dare to think about this, even though Lin Li was only a level-21 Legendary-mage. However, at this point, anyone who still regarded that LV 21 as the true standard to measure one's strength could simply find a place to commit suicide.
What a joke! Did they really think that Lin Li was only a level-21 Legendary-mage? Which level-21 Legendary-mage could easily break Stephen's Soul-devouring Domain with a wave of his hand? Which level-21 Legendary-mage could remain unscathed under the sneak attack of the Legendary Bandit, Lansdale?
The last guardian of the Seven-Realm Spiral had killed the Legendary Bandit, Lansdale, with an arrow from afar. That arrow had made everyone feel helpless. However, what happened to the guardian that made everyone feel hopeless? He was blasted into nothingness by the three arrows of this level-21 Legendary-mage. Even now, everyone could not help but shudder at the thought of the power of those three arrows.
Indeed, everyone knew very well that most of the power of those three extremely powerful arrows came from those three strange arrows. However, they were even more clear that it was impossible for a level-21 Legendary-mage to control that power that was close to the Sanctuary-realm!
Furthermore, apart from those three arrows, who knew how many more secrets this level-21 Legendary-mage, who had repeatedly created miracles, was hiding? Level 21. This was the best disguise. Those who took this level seriously didn't have a good ending.
No one moved. Before Lin Li obtained the Seed of Eternity, any movement could cause a misunderstanding. However, everyone could not help but reveal looks of jealousy and envy in their eyes. After all, it was the legendary Seed of Eternity that could allow the Tree of Eternity to be reborn. Obtaining it was equivalent to obtaining a path to the rise of power. No, it was not a rise, but a huge leap. It was a huge leap from the ground to the clouds.
Under everyone's gaze, Lin Li slowly walked towards the Seed of Eternity. If not for the majestic mana within it, no one would have paid any attention to this seed that was as insignificant as a grain of rice. He slowly extended his palm, as if he was afraid that the wind caused by his movement would blow the seed away.
It was only when Lin Li held the Seed of Eternity in his hand that Cheyenne and the rest approached it to take a look. They wanted to see what was so special about this legend that had been passed down for more than 1,300 years.
However, when everyone approached it and carefully felt the mana waves emitted by the Seed of Eternity, they discovered a shocking fact. They could not feel the slightest breath of life from the Seed of Eternity.
