"Hmph, if he hadn't pushed down the Tree of Eternity …" Nefa cursed for a while, and finally suppressed the anger in him for the time being. He then continued to explain to Lin Li, "Originally, although the two worlds overlapped, the overlapping phenomenon would gradually be restored by the power of the World Laws over time due to the huge repulsive force of the World Laws, allowing the two worlds to return to their original positions. However, there's something at the bottom of this volcano that's preventing the recovery of the two worlds, and forcefully connecting them together. "
"It can actually go against the World Laws?" Lin Li couldn't help but be a little surprised. The power of the World Laws was extremely powerful, and even the gods might not be able to control it. The nomological power of the two worlds that Nefa mentioned might be slightly weaker than that of Anril, but it was still not something that ordinary Sanctuary powerhouses could covet. However, such a powerful force was actually suppressed by an item. Clearly, this item was extremely powerful. It was probably not an exaggeration to say that it was an artifact.
"Of course, ordinary things can't have such powerful power, and the reason this item can go against the nomological power of the two worlds is because it comes from a branch of the Tree of Eternity." At this point, Nefa's eyes were once again filled with unconcealable resentment. Clearly, he hated the branch that had caused him so much suffering.
"The branch of the Tree of Eternity!" Upon hearing this information from Nefa, Lin Li couldn't help but feel his heartbeat quicken.
In fact, when Lin Li heard Nefa say that it was Geresco who had deceived him to come here, he had already decided not to help him no matter what. Although Lin Li had yet to stand at Geresco's level, and did not know much about the inside story, he knew that Geresco must have his reasons for doing so. Lin Li didn't want to cause any uncontrollable trouble because of his greed. After all, he was only a level-23 Legendary-mage now.
However, after hearing that the item was actually a branch of the Tree of Eternity, Lin Li had to admit that it was probably hard for him to resist the temptation. To be honest, even an artifact might not be too tempting to Lin Li, who had already mastered five pieces of the debris of the stars. However, the branch of the Tree of Eternity was different. If it were in the hands of others, it might just be an excellent material for making magic staffs, but it had an extraordinary meaning to Lin Li.
When Lin Li was exploring the Sky Castle, he had once obtained a Seed of Eternity in the Central Tower of the Sky Castle. Unfortunately, the Seed of Eternity no longer had any signs of life, leaving only the huge amount of mana that was gradually declining. Massive mana was not the true value of the Seed of Eternity. Only a living Seed of Eternity was an unparalleled treasure in Anril. Resurrecting the seed sounded like an impossible task, but it was not impossible for Lin Li.
Lin Li already had the debris of the stars, Rebirth, that contained the Laws of Life. However, due to his lack of understanding of the mysteries of life of the Tree of Eternity, he had never been able to resurrect the seed. As long as he could obtain even a living leaf of the Tree of Eternity and understand the mysteries of life of the Tree of Eternity, he would have considerable confidence in reviving the seed. Hence, if the branch was still alive, it would be extremely precious to Lin Li.
A dead Seed of Eternity was at most equivalent to a massive source of mana. Apart from providing mana, it had no other use. Moreover, even the most ordinary Legendary magical crystal would slowly recover mana like a mage's meditation while consuming mana. However, the dead Seed of Eternity did not even have such an ability. When its mana was depleted, it would completely lose its value.
However, once the Seed of Eternity was resurrected, its value would immediately increase by thousands of times, and it would definitely be beyond anyone's estimation. Yes, it would take a long time for the Seed of Eternity to grow into a real Tree of Eternity. However, as long as the Tree of Eternity was planted in the Tower of Dusk, it would definitely give the mages of the Tower of Dusk infinite benefits during its growth. The mages of the Tower of Dusk would be bathed in the mysterious magic tides every day, and as the Tree of Eternity grew, the power of the magic tides would also become stronger and stronger. The growth of the mages of the Tower of Dusk would also be limitless.
That was definitely not an exaggeration. Although there were various reasons why the High Elves could dominate Anril and establish a prosperous dynasty that countless people could not reach, the existence of the Tree of Eternity was definitely the root of all of it. Although the Tower of Dusk's current development momentum was already very strong, Lin Li was not satisfied because of that, because be it a person or a force, they could never be satisfied with their current situation if they wanted to survive in such a world where the strong preyed on the weak.
Faced with such a temptation, Lin Li really could not think about the consequences that would be brought to himself and the world after solving the problem for Nefa. Besides, if the Tree of Eternity were to take root and sprout in Anril again, it would be beneficial to the balance of Anril. Although Nefa was a threat, there was still Tutankhamun restraining him. Besides, Lin Li was also confident that when he obtained all the debris of the stars and stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, Nefa's abilities might not be a threat anymore.
"That branch is of no use to me. As long as you can put it away, I think that should be enough to pay you for helping me, together with the Immortal King's Space Domain Robe. Besides, as long as you can help me with this matter, I can also tell you some information that I know, and there are even other relics of the Immortal King for you to choose from. " Seeing that Lin Li was finally tempted, Nefa frantically threw out more benefits in hopes that Lin Li would agree to his request.
"In that case, answer me a question first. If I help you with this matter, how am I going to leave this place? I'm not interested in staying in this place at all." Lin Li suppressed the shock in his heart, and frowned slightly as he asked the question that seemed to be more important to him.
The fact that Lin Li asked that question meant that he had already agreed to the deal. Nefa was immediately overjoyed, but he forced himself to look calm. He smiled, and said, "That's simple. Although there is a seal of the Darkness Shrine outside, as long as I release the suppression on the volcano and let that power erupt again, it will be enough to open the crack for a period of time. You don't have to worry about leaving this place at all."
Damn it, so it's all this guy's doing! Lin Li immediately understood that the so-called calamity of the Darkness Shrine was probably a trick played by Nefa. The commotion this time, as well as the destruction of the Darkness Shrine previously, was all because Nefa had moved a little. The Darkness Shrine was really unlucky.
Besides, Lin Li recalled that the two brothers, Willen and Rodhart, had once talked to Nefa through the big crack. Soon after the two of them left, the Darkness Shrine suffered a great calamity. Lin Li reckoned that it might have been one of the deals that the two brothers had made with Nefa. After all, although the Darkness Shrine no longer had High Priest Rogge, its comprehensive strength had already vaguely posed a threat to the Brilliance Shrine. After such a blow, the Darkness Shrine might not have been completely destroyed, but they had also lost the qualifications to compete with the Brilliance Shrine. To a certain extent, the Brilliance Shrine could be considered to have gained a huge benefit for no reason.
However, Lin Li was not a member of the Darkness Shrine, after all. Hence, he only sighed a little for the fate of the Darkness Shrine. What he should really be concerned about was his own safety. He pondered for a moment, and then said to Nefa, "I can agree to your request, but before that, I need you to make an oath. I don't want to have to worry about your attacks after solving this problem for you, so I want you to swear on your soul that you will never do anything to hurt me. Of course, I will make the same promise. "
Be it the Immortal King's robe or the branch of the Tree of Eternity, they were all meaningless to a dead man. Lin Li was well aware that with his current strength, it would still be rather difficult for him to fight against a powerhouse like Nefa. Besides, he didn't know what he would experience during this trip. Perhaps he would be half-dead when he returned, and it would be impossible for him to guard against Nefa's sneak attack.
Verbal promises depended on who made them. It was undeniable that there were people who kept their promises in this world, but they definitely wouldn't be a descendant of the Dragon of Destruction who had mastered the Laws of Destruction and Evilness. Hence, no matter how extravagant Nefa's words were, Lin Li still believed that no one would dare to violate the Soul Oath.
"Well …" Upon hearing Lin Li's request, Nefa hesitated for a moment before shaking his head, and saying, "No one knows what will happen if we meet again in the future. Hence, I can't make such a Soul Oath rashly. Why don't we stop here? I can swear that I won't do anything to hurt you in this world. "
After all, Nefa was a powerhouse of the same level as Tutankhamun, and he even had the intention to become the new Dragon of Destruction. Hence, Lin Li really wanted to have one less enemy in the future. However, Nefa's rejection did not make Lin Li feel too disappointed. While it was good to have one less enemy, it was actually not a big deal to have one more enemy. If they really met outside, it was uncertain who would be the one to hurt.
