Although nothing was truly eternal in this world, the reason why the Tree of Eternity was called eternal was because of its almost endless vitality. Although it was only a seed of the Tree of Eternity in front of them, it was impossible for it to be completely devoid of life. Unless, this Seed of Eternity was already dead!
That's right. Although the mana that was continuously emitted was still terrifyingly massive, everyone could acutely sense that the mana was constantly weakening. In other words, the Seed of Eternity was only emitting the mana that it had accumulated in the past, and would not generate any new mana on its own. In this case, no matter how massive the mana of the Seed of Eternity was, it would be depleted sooner or later.
At this time, some of the questions that everyone had previously had were answered. No wonder the remaining High Elves did not use the Seed of Eternity to regenerate the Tree of Eternity. How could a dead seed grow and become the Tree of Eternity?
Lin Li frowned slightly. This was really making them rejoice for nothing. A dead Seed of Eternity naturally could not grow into the Tree of Eternity. However, why did the Immortal King leave a dead Seed of Eternity here? Was it just to make them rejoice for nothing?
After realizing that the Seed of Eternity was dead, Chief Elder Randy and Cheyenne finally felt a little better. Although the Seed of Eternity still contained a massive amount of mana, a dead Seed of Eternity was just a magical crystal with a large capacity. Yes, it could also allow one to quickly recover mana. But so what? The Seed of Eternity had lost its true value.
The Tree of Eternity was too terrifying. If it could create the High Elves that had ruled over Anril for countless years, it could create a second powerful force that could make the entire continent tremble. However, fate was ultimately fair. There was no such thing as instant success.
However, Lin Li's brows soon relaxed, and he did not look as worried as everyone had expected him to be. This made Chief Elder Randy and Cheyenne admire him greatly. They could not help but sigh at the breadth of mind of this young mage. It was no wonder that he had such achievements at such a young age.
Lin Li did not despise the dead Seed of Eternity. After looking at it carefully, he threw it into the Ring of Endless Storm. In fact, unlike what others thought, the main reason why Lin Li could be so open-minded was because he believed that the Immortal King would not do such a meaningless thing.
Lin Li had a vague feeling that everything he had experienced in Anril seemed to be filled with the shadows of the Immortal King. Although Lin Li would not say that everything about him was arranged by the Immortal King, he at least had something to do with the Immortal King.
No matter what the Immortal King was plotting, he was at least certain that everything he did had a purpose. Since the Seed of Eternity was here, it was very likely that the Immortal King had also left the method of rebirth for the Tree of Eternity here. It just depended on whether he was careful and smart enough to discover the existence of that method.
Of course, even if there was no way to revive the Tree of Eternity, the Seed of Eternity was still of great value to Lin Li. The massive mana contained in the Seed of Eternity alone was probably enough for the baby Elemental Wyrm to grow and even reach the stage of maturity.
The baby Elemental Wyrm Xiao Hua was the inheritance of the Dragon of Dream, one of the five great Dragon Aspects. Even if it had not reached a fully mature form, its strength was definitely not inferior to that of an ordinary ancient wyrm. When that time came, who would dare to provoke him with a strength that was close to that of a Dragon Aspect? The only thing he had to be careful of was the Elemental Wyrm's projected avatar in the baby Elemental Wyrm's body.
Until now, Lin Li still could not figure out what kind of existence the projected avatar of the Elemental Wyrm was in the baby Elemental Wyrm's body. The only thing he could do was to be vigilant against the projected avatar, but he still could not think of a way to completely eliminate this potential threat.
Lin Li put away the Seed of Eternity, and the hall on the third floor was finally truly empty. There was only the surging mana that would gradually dissipate with time.
After walking out of the hall and stepping on the spiral staircase, everyone walked towards the fourth floor of the tower. Almost everyone's face was filled with anticipation. From the crystal ball, to the three standard equipment of the Magic Legion, to the Seed of Eternity, it seemed that the value of each floor was higher than the previous one. Although the Seed of Eternity was already dead, its value was still immeasurable. Then, what kind of treasure would be waiting for them on the fourth floor?
At this moment, even Elder Randy, who was the most despondent, perked up again as he was full of anticipation for the items on the fourth floor. Everyone had their own gains on the first three floors. Now that they were on the fourth floor, it was equivalent to starting from the beginning again. There was no need to use favors to fool people anymore. What they wanted to get would depend on their own means.
The elves were rich and overbearing, especially Elder Randy, who was the eighth elder of the Emerald Council. He had great decision-making power in many aspects, and would definitely not hesitate to throw money at others.
As for the Tower of Dusk, although it was just a newly established small force with a weak foundation, President Lin Li had already become the leader of the three forces with the power of the three arrows.
Only Cheyenne of the Malfa Family, although he was known as the top family of the Breezy Plains, was obviously not as wealthy as the elves. In terms of strength, he could not be compared to the Tower of Dusk, either. However, the magical equipment that he had obtained previously had already made Cheyenne feel satisfied. If there were any other shocking treasures later on, it would be good to use his power in exchange for some benefits.
Although everyone had their own thoughts, they all had the same expectations for the treasures on the fourth floor. Regardless of whether they could get it or not, the higher the value of the treasure, the more benefits they could get from it.
However, when everyone walked through the spiral staircase and arrived at the fourth floor of the Central Tower, the scene inside made everyone dumbfounded again.
There were no dazzling decorations here, nor was it an old warehouse that had been sealed for thousands of years. There was only thick fog that filled the space. The white fog was as thick as milk, and no one could see what was hidden inside.
Looking in from the door, the thick white fog seemed to be restricted by something. Not a single wisp of it passed through the invisible boundary, forming a corridor that led straight inside. At the end of the white foggy corridor, in the middle of the fog, there was an empty space that looked like a corridor. There was only a lonely stone platform, and on the stone platform floated a crystal ball that was slowly rotating.
Although the crystal ball was much larger than the one that everyone was used to, it was not as exaggerated as the one that Chief Elder Randy had taken away previously. Besides, it seemed to be rotating normally.
The white fog on both sides of the corridor made it impossible for anyone to see through it, and even their mental strength could not penetrate it. However, there were all sorts of strange yet extremely powerful auras constantly seeping out of the white fog. Everyone walked along the corridor and carefully walked towards the stone platform. After all, no one said that they would be safe after passing the Orderly Maze as if they had returned to their own home.
When everyone arrived in front of the stone platform, they secretly heaved a sigh of relief and focused their attention on the crystal ball on the stone platform. As the crystal ball slowly rotated, different scenes appeared in the crystal ball. It seemed to be showing different spaces. In each space, there would be different magical beasts or Abyssal Demons, but they were basically all napping lifelessly.
At this moment, everyone finally realized that the fourth floor of the Central Tower was actually a prison. The thick white fog around them should be the cages that imprisoned the Abyssal Demons. However, the cages should also have the effect of expanding the space. Otherwise, the fourth floor would have been overcrowded by so many Abyssal Demons.
Since the situation in each cage could be seen through the crystal ball, it was obvious that the crystal ball was the hub that controlled the cages. However, what was the use of knowing that? Although the Abyssal Demons were powerful, they would just be more fighters after being subdued. How useful would they be to the development of their own forces?
However, just when everyone was feeling a little disappointed with the fourth floor, Chief Elder Randy suddenly exclaimed in surprise. He didn't even have time to explain to the others before he snatched the crystal ball in two steps.
The use of the crystal ball was actually very simple. One just had to inject mental strength into it, and the crystal ball left behind by the High Elves was the same. Chief Elder Randy tapped his finger on the crystal ball and injected his mental strength into it. The images in the crystal ball flashed past at an extremely fast speed, and finally stopped on a scene after a while.
Looking at the frozen image in the crystal ball, Chief Elder Randy couldn't hide his excitement. Even his finger that was tapping on the crystal ball was trembling slightly. Princess Elune and the other elves hurriedly moved closer to the crystal ball when they saw Chief Elder Randy's abnormal behavior. However, as soon as their eyes landed on the crystal ball, all of them opened their mouths wide in shock.
The crystal ball showed one of the many cages. However, it wasn't a demon from the Abyssal Demon that was imprisoned in it. Instead, it was a snow-white unicorn with a silver spiral horn on its head and a pair of white wings on its back.
"Yes, this is the holy relic that we are looking for. It's the mount of Goddess Monferra, the holy unicorn." Chief Elder Randy tried his best to calm down, but his voice was still slightly trembling.
Upon hearing Chief Elder Randy's words, everyone couldn't help but feel strange. Since this unicorn was the mount of Goddess Monferra, why was it imprisoned in this place? This was the Sky Castle of the High Elves. According to the legends of the elves, when Goddess Monferra rescued the elves who were at their wits' end, she was still riding on a unicorn. At that time, the High Elves had already perished.
What happened to the elves back then had already become a widely spread legend. Hence, not to mention these Legendary powerhouses, even the farmers had heard a thing or two about it. However, Elder Randy was probably the only one who knew the real situation at that time because he was an elf who had personally experienced it.
It was said that the elves were besieged by the allied forces led by humans. There was no place for the elves in Anril, and the remaining elves had no choice but to escape to the Sierra Leone Forest.
At that time, the Sierra Leone Forest was a place of exile during the reign of the High Elves. No one knew how many famous powerhouses were buried there, and the environment could be said to be filled with danger and death. The forest was filled with deadly poisonous fog. Even a powerhouse who was at the peak of the Legendary-realm could not resist its corrosion. There was a poisonous marsh that emitted a rancid smell, powerful mutated magical beasts, and even plants that were crazily bloodthirsty.
This was a place even more terrifying than the Endless Abyss. There was no place that was truly safe, and the forest was filled with natural fatal traps. Mutated magical beasts could pounce on you at any time. Even if you stood near a tree, you could be entangled by the vines and become fertilizer for the bloodthirsty plants.
Behind them was the allied forces that had just overthrown the High Elves' rule and vowed to destroy the elves. In front of them was the Sierra Leone Forest, which no one had ever walked out of alive. The elves were truly at a dead end.
However, just when all the remaining elves were in despair, Goddess Monferra performed a miracle in front of them. Under the elves' gaze, the goddess rode this unicorn and slowly walked into the Sierra Leone Forest. The pure and holy unicorn trampled on the ground. Everywhere it passed, the thick poisonous mist melted like snow, and the poisonous land turned into fertile land. As the unicorn passed by, the bloodthirsty plants shed their rotten colors and sprouted green shoots. Those mutated magical beasts no longer dared to show their claws and teeth. Instead, they crawled on the ground, and their red eyes gradually became clear.
In the sky, the eternal dark clouds were penetrated by rays of holy light. The light became denser and denser with each step of the unicorn until all the dark clouds were melted. The light of the goddess shone on the entire Sierra Leone Forest. The gray and decaying color of the Sierra Leone Forest was gradually replaced by new green. The grass on the ground arched out of the soil, and in the blink of an eye, it covered the sight of all the elves. Wildflowers emitted a fresh floral fragrance. The entire Sierra Leone Forest glowed with vitality under the light of the goddess.
From then on, the Sierra Leone Forest, which was known as the Land of Despair, had a new name — Emerald Forest.
However, the unicorn disappeared after that. No one knew where it went, except that it did not leave with Goddess Monferra. The reason Chief Elder Randy and the elves could find this place was because of a revelation left by the goddess.
Chief Elder Randy tapped the crystal ball lightly, and the image in the crystal ball immediately fluctuated. Then, in the thick fog not far away from them, the clear hoofbeats of the unicorn could be heard.
