"Greetings, Your Majesty …"
In the distance, a group of people walked over. They wore leather armor and slowly walked over to Chen Heng.
When that group of people came close, Chen Heng's guards became wary and looked at them in the distance.
More accurately speaking, these people were not people.
Their appearance and characteristics were different from ordinary humans. Although they seemed similar on the surface, in reality, there was a huge difference.
This might not be clear to ordinary people, but to the Sorcerers present, it was something that they could not be clearer about.
They were all Elves.
"It's been a long time."
Looking at these Elves, Chen Heng nodded and said, "I'm sure you all know why I've come."
"Your Majesty's people have already come."
The middle-aged Elf in front of Chen Heng said softly, "In order to welcome Your Majesty, we have prepared a sumptuous banquet and await Your Majesty's arrival."
"Let's hope so."
Chen Heng nodded and followed the middle-aged Elf in front of him as he slowly walked forwards.
As they walked forwards, the scenery around them gradually became clearer.
A faint silver radiance appeared in the surroundings, making it look exceptionally beautiful and unique.
The silver trees stood tall in the surroundings, releasing a unique aura that caused others to raise their eyebrows.
It had to be said that the Elves were indeed the first Sorcerers.
Even though the Hemu region's Elves had fallen, Chen Heng could still sense traces of magic skills and Sorcerer Formations.
There was a dense aura of elemental particles all around them, and it was much more evident than what Chen Heng had sensed in other places.
If he was not mistaken, this place was most likely an energy node.
Large amounts of elemental particles flowed out from this place, and the silver trees used this energy to absorb it into their bodies before directing it to other places through the Elves' unique magic skills.
There were traces of magic skills and Sorcerer Formations everywhere.
Chen Heng continued onwards.
The Elves' attitude towards his arrival was quite peaceful. They were not too enthusiastic, but they were not as hostile as the outside world had said.
Of course, this was also because of Chen Heng's identity.
After all, he was now the Emperor of the Dawn Empire and the ruler of the Hemu region.
Even the entire Merfolk was not a match for him, let alone the fallen Elves.
If they did not want to make things difficult for themselves, they could not continue to treat him the way they did before.
Walking in from the outer region, Chen Heng saw many beautiful scenes.
Following this, Chen Heng walked further in.
Just like humans, the Elves also built houses to live in.
However, their houses were all quite unique, and because of their personal preferences, they were all different.
Some were even built on trees, and they looked quite sturdy.
This made Chen Heng feel quite interested, and he looked around.
As he continued forward, he met the current leader of the Elven Race.
He was the Elf Sorcerer.
He was the only official Sorcerer left in the elven race, but he was very powerful and could be said to be at the peak of official Sorcerers.
In the past, because of this, the Sorcerer Sorcerer Sorcerer, and because of Chen, Chen Chen Chen had Chen, King Chen.
"I, Chen, Chen Chen, Sorcerer Chen, Sorcerer Sorcerer God, and Sorcerer Chen Majesty, Sorcerer, Heng, and the Sorcerer over.
"I came to give you an invitation, as well as to fulfill a promise."
Looking at this old Elf Sorcerer, Chen Heng spoke softly and told him why he had come.
Back then, because of a coincidence, he had come into contact with the Half-Elf Sorcerer Yana, and he had received some benefits from her.
The Inheritance Stone in his possession came from that person.
Back then, Chen Heng had promised that when the time was right, he would take care of the Hemu region's Elves.
The reason he had come was to fulfill that promise.
He told her about his contact with Yana all those years ago, and only then did he speak softly, giving her a choice.
"If you are willing to leave, I can let all of you enter Dawn Academy and promise that the Elf Race will have a Councilor in Dawn Academy.
"If you are not willing, I will confer you the title of Duke of Mogao and make this region the Elf Race's territory."
Hearing Chen Heng's words, Chen Heng's guards and the Governor felt quite startled.
From how they saw it, Chen Heng was being quite generous.
Dawn Academy's Councilors were part of Dawn Academy's management, and there were only ten of them. Not only could they participate in Dawn Academy's management, but they could also immediately obtain Dawn Academy's research results and come into contact with the most advanced magic skills and knowledge.
Now that the human world had been unified and all Sorcerers had gathered at Dawn Academy, Sorcerers' development had also been advancing with each passing day.
In the past, the various schools and academies tended to do their own research, expanding and researching in a certain field.
Many ancient schools even lived in seclusion and only focused on their own research.
This was undeniably unreasonable and wrong.
Doing research in seclusion and focusing on one's own knowledge was not bad, but research could only be done through discussion and exchange.
Moreover, if everyone did their own research, it would lead to many awkward problems.
What you spent so much time and effort researching, others might have already researched.
If that happened, it would be quite awkward.
The cost of doing this was quite high.
In the Hemu region, it was clearly the same magic template, but it had been developed into different types of magic; this was how many of them had been created.
After all Sorcerers gathered at Dawn Academy, all of the Sorcerer schools' research results would be gathered and given to the other Sorcerers.
With so many Sorcerers gathered, their thoughts would constantly clash, and it would be much easier to produce results.
Adding on the past historical remnants, the entire Sorcerer civilization was advancing with each passing day. Almost every two years, there would be new results.
If one wanted to come into contact with these results, the position of a Councilor at Dawn Academy was the best choice.
If the Elf race wanted to fuse into the whole, this would be the best choice.
On the other hand, conferring the title of Duke and giving the surrounding land to the Elf race was another option.
If the Elf race did not want to fuse into the whole and just wanted to live their own lives, this would be the best choice.
With the title of nobility conferred by the empire, the elves would also be protected. They would no longer be treated as excellent experimental materials by wizards like in the past.
Both choices were undoubtedly very generous.
For ordinary people, even if they worked hard for their entire lives, they would not be able to obtain such a result.
However, it was a piece of cake for the Elves at this moment.
Thinking to there, all of the Sorcerers looked ahead, feeling quite jealous.
The old Elf Sorcerer fell into his thoughts.
Only after a while did he give an answer and make his choice.
The old Elf Sorcerer decided to bring the Elf race into Dawn Academy.
This was choosing to fuse into the whole.
As an elderly person, the old Elf Sorcerer could see this clearly.
If they chose the second option, they would be able to live well under the Dawn Empire's protection, but if something unexpected happened in the future, their lives would be incredibly pitiful.
Living in a carefree and worry-free environment without the need to compete with others, the Elven race would slowly degenerate and waste their talents in the end.
Once the Daybreak Empire disappeared or no longer protected them, they would become fish on the chopping block, waiting to be slaughtered.
When that time came, the situation would be even worse.
As such, it was better to join Dawn Academy and compete with other Sorcerers to strengthen themselves.
After thinking for a long time, the old Elf Sorcerer made this decision.
Hearing the old Elf Sorcerer's decision, Chen Heng nodded and did not say anything else.
To be honest, the addition of the elves was also a good thing for Dawn Academy.
No matter how weak they were, the Elf race had once been the rulers of the world, and they definitely had some legacies left behind by their ancestors, as well as some Sorcerer knowledge passed down by the ancient Elves.
These things were great supplements for Dawn Academy.
Perhaps with these things, they would be able to explore the path to becoming a Level 2 Sorcerer.
Yes, explore.
Back then, during the World War, the Sorcerer civilization had developed to a great extent.
However, the Hemu region had developed out of the fog, and the Sorcerer civilization had long since disappeared. Everything had been excavated from historical remnants.
At the beginning, there were just some ordinary Meditation Techniques. However, as Sorcerer Apprentices appeared and multiplied, it slowly developed into what it was today.
The Hemu region's development was actually quite limited.
Right now, they had only explored the path to becoming a true Sorcerer, but they had not figured out the path beyond that.
This had troubled the Hemu region's Sorcerers for hundreds of years. It was only during the past few decades, when Dawn Academy was established and all of the Sorcerers worked together to research it did they have some hope.
However, if they wanted to break through, there were still many problems that they needed to solve.
With the Elf race joining, perhaps they would be able to speed things up.
In the following period of time, Chen Heng stayed as a guest among the Elves and experienced the Elves' scenery.
It had to be said that the scenery here was quite good.
The Elf race seemed to be masters of aesthetics and had their own unique pursuits for everything.
This was evident in many aspects, and it was even more evident in this place where the Elf race had lived for many generations.
The scenery around him was beautiful, and all sorts of things looked like works of art.
Chen Heng looked around and felt that his horizons had been broadened.
After staying here for a few days, Chen Heng left this place and went elsewhere.
However, before leaving, Chen Heng had secretly collected a few Elves' blood and brought them back as materials.
In actuality, Chen Heng wanted a few Elf corpses, but considering his goal, he did not mention it.
After all, whether it was killing Elves or digging up their corpses, it would not be good for the Elf race, who had just formed an alliance.
As such, Chen Heng did not do anything too overboard.
After all, he did not lack materials for now.
Even though most of the Hemu region's Elves were gathered in the Mohan Plateau, there were some who lived outside.
Helo City had auctioned off Elf slaves before.
Moreover, as time went on, some Elves would definitely die of natural causes.
When that time came, he would just secretly visit them.
"However, according to my personality, I most likely would not care about these things and would directly kill a few Elves."
On the way back, thinking about his changes, Chen Heng inwardly shook his head.
Now, sixty to seventy years had passed, and he had gradually felt the influence of the Faith Imprint on him.
More accurately speaking, the Faith Mark itself would not affect his personality.
What affected him was the positive faith energy that he had absorbed during the hero's trial.
That was the faith energy that he had accumulated over countless years, and it was unimaginable to ordinary people.
When Chen Heng had received the Faith Mark's legacy, in order to obtain greater power, he had also received this faith energy.
This power was indeed massive, and Chen Heng felt that it was invincible.
Even the Heart-Devouring Demon Sorcerer, who had rampaged through the Hemu region back then, could only last a few moves against him before being taken down by him.
However, the immense power also affected his body.
Power itself would affect a person's mind, let alone the power of faith that was produced from the mind.
After a long time, Chen Heng found that his personality was gradually changing.
For example, what had just happened.
He wanted the corpses of the elves for the source of their bloodline and to experiment with the Moon God Worship.
If it was in the past, he would not have been so gentle and would have acted secretly. Even if he did not capture a few Elves, he would have gone to the Elf race's tombs to take a look.
After all, even if he did something, the Elves would not dare to say anything and could only suffer.
However, now, he was much gentler.
It was as if as he accepted that power, he was also being affected by the faith energy, and his personality was gradually changing.
Chen Heng inwardly shook his head; he was not against these changes.
The faith energy did not forcefully convert the good in one's heart; it only amplified the good in one's heart.
If one did not have good in one's heart, the faith energy would not be able to affect one.
As long as it did not affect one's rationality, Chen Heng did not care much about these changes.
In any case, if he really had to make a move, there was no reason for him to hesitate.
However, if this continued, it would not be a good thing.
As time went on, the faith energy's influence would only become stronger.
Right now, it was only at this level, but in the future, it would be different.
Chen Heng did not want to become a saint.
It would be fine if he occasionally acted like one, but if he really wanted to become one, then forget it.
Thinking to there, a thought flashed in his mind.
"Perhaps it's time to leave …"
Chen Heng thought to himself as he looked at the vast land in the distance.
In the following days, time gradually passed.
A few months later.
Within a luxurious and spacious laboratory, Chen Heng walked away from a few corpses and looked at the red liquid in his hand.
In his hand, there was a small test tube, within which the red liquid flowed.
This was the bloodline source energy that Chen Heng had extracted from those corpses. However, compared to the ones that Chen Heng had extracted in the past, this bottle did not seem to have much lifeforce.
This was to be expected.
After all, this bottle of bloodline source energy had been extracted from corpses.
In order to obtain these Elf corpses, Chen Heng had sent people everywhere over the past few months to collect these corpses and extract this bottle of bloodline source energy.
"The bloodline of the Elves …"
Looking at the bloodline source energy, Chen Heng put it under a microscope and looked at it seriously.
In the Sorcerer world, in order to see more microscopic things, microscopes had been invented. It was just that they could not compare to modern microscopes.
Under the microscope, some things that could not normally be seen were revealed.
Within the red liquid, there were some silver threads, which were quite unique. It was just that they were very thin, and under normal circumstances, they could not be seen with the naked eye.
"Even higher-grade bloodline source energy?"
Chen Heng thought to himself.
Above ordinary Elves, there were the Elf royal family with the Moon Elf and Sun Elf bloodlines.
Perhaps the corpses of the elves in front of him contained some royal bloodline?
As he thought to himself, he did not hesitate and walked to the side, preparing to absorb it.
He circulated the Heaven Devouring Scripture, and the bloodline source energy was gradually devoured by him.
Compared to before, Chen Heng's body had gone through great changes.
A strange wave of energy flowed out of his body.
The magic energy within his body started to circulate and become more active.
This was especially so for the Moon God Power within his body.
It seemed to sense something within Chen Heng's body, and the Moon God Power started to circulate and fuse into Chen Heng's body, helping it stabilize.
This process lasted for a long time, and it was only completed a few days later.
After fusing with the bloodline, Chen Heng first walked out of the laboratory and ate a large meal before sensing his changes.
He walked in front of a mirror and stood there.
Within the mirror, Chen Heng's appearance gradually appeared.
