When the elves died, they would bury themselves under the Tree of Life. Their bodies would be decomposed by the Tree of Life and once again become a part of the Tree of Life. From the Tree of Life, they would return to it. Everything was like a cycle.
There was no Tree of Life in the Sylve Empire, but this custom was still preserved. Every elf would ask their loved ones to bury their bodies under a special Tree of the Undead after they died. Even the bodies of arcanists could be decomposed by this special plant. Beautiful white flowers would bloom on the branches of the tree the following year.
This was also the case for most of the extraordinary and wizards. For them, even if they died, their bodies were still extremely dangerous and would be coveted by others. Most wizards would choose to cremate their bodies or carry out their own funerals in a special way. Whether it was an ordinary person or an extraordinary, death was a painful and important ritual in one's life.
The elf cemetery was full of this kind of Tree of the Undead. Each tree represented a dead elf. It was obviously a very beautiful kind of tree, but it represented death and decay. It was as if they had a sad and solemn feeling because of the symbols that the elves had arranged for them.
At this moment, the cemetery was empty. Only Wendy, the Elf Queen, was still standing under the Tree of the Undead that belonged to Wolfe. There were many bouquets of flowers under the Tree of the Undead, which looked like a small garden.
The night breeze rustled the leaves in the cemetery, and Wendy's black cloak fluttered in the wind. The hood covered half of her beautiful face, and her hair fluttered in the wind, making her look a little messy.
Lu Zhiyu put a bouquet of flowers under Wolfe's Tree of the Undead. He was also wearing a black cloak. He turned around and looked at Wendy. Their robes were fluttering in the wind.
"Wolfe asked me to give this to you!"
Wendy stretched out her hand and handed something to Lu Zhiyu. After taking it, Lu Zhiyu realized that it was a badge of the tower. It was given to them by Lu Zhiyu when they graduated.
"Did Wolfe say anything?" Lu Zhiyu looked at the badge in his hand. It was an exquisite depiction of a tower on top of a black ridge. That was the original tower. Now, everything had changed over time. Things might still be the same, but people might not be the same.
"He didn't say anything!" Wendy's face was a little unclear under the cloak.
Lu Zhiyu held the tower badge tightly in his hand and closed his eyes. Suddenly, he recalled the scene when he stood in front of Levis's tombstone in the tower graveyard. "Everyone's birth foreshadows death!" he thought.
"Perhaps the word 'birth' means that death is inevitable, just like karma!"
"It's not just humans. Everything that exists will die!"
Wendy looked at Lu Zhiyu, who was standing under the Tree of the Undead. When she heard Lu Zhiyu's words, she suddenly hugged herself with her arms and couldn't help but laugh, as if she had heard something extremely funny.
"Hahaha … hehe … hehe!"
"Is this the attitude of the high and mighty Creator towards us mortals?"
"Is this what we, the lives you created, mean to you? Is the death of every life so insignificant? "
Wendy looked at Lu Zhiyu with her sparkling eyes. Her eyes were full of sadness and stubbornness, but she didn't cry. When an extraordinary person reached a certain level, their body would be completely controlled, and they would even lose the instinct to cry. Being able to completely control one's instincts and desires seemed to be the ability to sublimate one's life. However, Lu Zhiyu didn't know why, but he suddenly felt as if he had lost something during this sublimation.
Lu Zhiyu shook his head and didn't show any emotion because of Wendy's misunderstanding. "I just want to say that death is the fate of every existence. It is the perfection and reincarnation of life!"
Lu Zhiyu looked at Wendy. His calm and indifferent eyes suddenly became deep. Wendy looked into Lu Zhiyu's eyes, and it was as if she could see the birth and destruction of the world, the endless reincarnation, the birth and death of countless lives, and a figure was always standing there, watching the birth and destruction of everything.
Wendy saw everything, and it was as if she could feel everything that the figure was feeling. Suddenly, a huge sense of loneliness and pressure fell on her, and the invisible terror made it hard for her to breathe.
Lu Zhiyu turned his face away and looked at Wolfe's Tree of the Undead. "Because the Immortal Ones are lonely and painful, and the Immortal Ones who can't find the meaning and purpose of their existence, eternal immortality will be the greatest punishment for them!"
"Are you sure you want to go this way?"
Wendy looked at Lu Zhiyu's back. She suddenly felt that this tall, breathtakingly tall figure suddenly revealed a sense of loneliness. In the night wind of the cemetery, he seemed a little thin, as if this figure, which she thought was immortal, would disappear like smoke in an instant. Wendy suddenly felt a sour taste rising from her chest to her throat and nose. She suddenly shouted at Lu Zhiyu.
"One day, I will become stronger than you, and I will find a way to surpass you, even if you are the Creator, even if you are the master of everything in the world, even if I still don't understand what kind of existence you are!"
"So what?"
Lu Zhiyu asked. "I will imprison you in my world until the source of all existence is destroyed, until eternity and immortality are destroyed."
"That's terrible!"
"It doesn't matter, because … I will always be with you!"

Wizard Calendar, Year 536.
The Elf Arcane Empire gradually rose under the leadership of Elf Queen Wendy. Although the number and influence of elves were lower than that of humans and other races, the ratio of wizards was much higher than that of other races.
The original wizard system, after nearly a thousand years of continuous development by countless wizards, was far more perfect than the arcane system. Whether it was the types or the various aspects of the application in civilization, the arcane system was far from being comparable.
When it came to witchcraft, complex low-level witchcraft and ordinary alchemy items seemed inconspicuous, but they were the important foundation to support the progress of wizards and the formation of civilization. Otherwise, it would be impossible to support the entire wizard system with only a few high-level destructive witchcraft, and at the same time, it would not be able to go far.
The wizard system was enough to support a civilization, and it could accommodate a large number of different races, and it had predictable progress. However, the arcanists had just started. Although they were rooted in the wizard system and the divine system, there was still a long way to go before they could be perfected.
But from that year onwards, the Elf Arcane Empire, which had been immersed in development, began to step out of the Sylve Continent, and took a step forward. The arcane system, with the efforts of Elf Queen Wendy and a large number of elf arcanists for hundreds of years, was finally gradually perfected.
The figures and the existence of arcanists also began to appear in the eyes of other races in the Starsoul World. The influence of the elves also began to radiate to other places in the Starsoul World, and the process of rapid development began.
In the holy land of the wizard civilization, when the news came from the tower that the master of the tower, the Thousand-faced Witch Catherine, was preparing to break through to become a mythical wizard, Elf Queen Wendy, with the gradual improvement of the arcane system, as well as Lu Zhiyu's notes and the harvest from the Creator, found the key for an arcanist to break through to the level seven mythical level and become a level seven arcanist.
