"Ling Tian, why are you here? What just happened? "Greenwood hurriedly asked as he came to Ling Chen's side.
"I came here to see my little sister. Apart from that, I didn't do anything else. Just as I was about to leave, this tree suddenly grew out. I don't know what happened either. " Ling Chen replied honestly. As he stood closer to Greenwood, he could clearly feel the intense emotions coming from Greenwood. He asked, "Just what is this Fairy Tree?"
"The Fairy Tree is our Fairy Clan's Tree of Origin, the Tree of Life!" An emotional voice sounded out as Granny Witherwood slowly walked over. Her teary eyes stared at the Fairy Tree, "I never thought that in my dying years, not only would my clan be freed, but I would also see the rebirth of the Fairy Tree. I can finally rest in peace."
"Tree of Origin? Tree of Life? "
"That's right." Greenwood nodded and raised his head as he looked at the Fairy Tree's light and said with melancholy, "No one knows the Fairy Tree's original name, but in the ancient times, it was a godly tree that contained boundless Nature's power. It grew from the Fairy Fountain, and the Fairy Forest was born from it. As it grew, the Nature's power became denser and denser until it became a spirit, giving birth to the first Nature Spirit … which was our Fairy Clan's greatest worshipper, the Nature Goddess. "
Granny Witherwood continued Greenwood's words, saying in an ancient, hoarse voice, "She didn't have any battle power. Her power was of the Divine, Nature, Cleansing, Benevolence, and Life. Although she is a spirit born from the Elven Tree, in the hearts of us elves, she is a supreme deity. It was because she used the Fairy Tree's power to create the first Fairy … which was how our Fairy Clan came to exist. Without the Nature Goddess, none of us Fairies would exist in this world. In essence, the Nature Goddess was also a Fairy, and the Nature Spirits that she created were of the same attribute as her. As such, she is our Fairy Clan's greatest ancestor. "
"So … that's how it is." Ling Chen lightly nodded. This was not the first time he had heard the words' Goddess of Nature 'from the Elves, and he had long since felt that their faith in the Goddess of Nature was far greater than that of the Moon Deities. Moreover, in the Forgotten Continent's Chronicles, he could not find any records of this' Nature Goddess'. It turned out that she was not a "god", but a "spirit" with a similar nature to the Maneki-Neko. However, one was the spirit of nature, while the other was the spirit of a rare treasure. But in the hearts of the elves, she was the true God.
"In that case, the Elven Tree disappeared?" Ling Chen asked thoughtfully.
"Yes, a long, long time ago, it disappeared … No, it entered a long, long slumber together with the Elf Goddess … until today." Granny Witherwood's eyes were filled with hot tears, and her hunched body tried to put on a pious posture as she worshipped the newly born Fairy Tree … the day that many of her ancestors had waited for had finally come. "That was about 10,000 years ago. At that time, the Forgotten Continent had just suffered from a calamity called the 'Shura's Devastation'. Although this calamity was resolved, it caused the entire Forgotten Continent to become paralysed. Even the most powerful Moon Deities Clan and the most powerful Beast Clan, the Void Dragon Clan, were greatly injured. At that time, the Demon Beast Clan, which had been accumulating power for a long time, suddenly appeared, bringing disaster to the Forgotten Continent, which had not yet recovered from the 'Shura's Devastation'. The Demon Beast Clan's leader, the Demon Emperor, was incredibly powerful, and was not inferior to any of the Moon Deities' 3 Goddesses. At that time, the Moon Deities Clan's 3 Goddesses were greatly weakened in the battle with the Shura, and the Moon Deities suffered countless losses. The Void Dragon Clan was also sealed off because of the Shura's Devastation. "
"As such, the Moon Deities Clan found the Saint Beast, the Golden Crow, who had the greatest destructive power and was the Demon Beast Clan's greatest nemesis. Then, they found the Fairy Realm, and asked the Nature Goddess to lead the Fairy Clan to resolve the calamity caused by the Demon Beast Clan. The benevolent Nature Goddess naturally did not refuse. She led the entire Fairy Clan, along with the Moon Deities Clan and the Golden Crow, to destroy the Demon Beast Clan. At that time, the Demon Beast Clan had tens of millions of demon beasts, and their combined power was incredibly great. After a long and bitter battle, they finally destroyed the Demon Beast Clan, and the Demon Emperor also died under the Golden Crow's Flames of the Nine Suns. However, after that, the Golden Crow never appeared again, and no one knew if it was dead or alive. The Moon Deities Clan also suffered many casualties, and the Fairy Clan suffered even more … Destroying the Demon Beast Clan could bring peace to the mainland. Even if countless people died, the Fairy Clan had no regrets. However, during that bitter battle, the Nature Goddess was attacked by a large amount of demon aura. A month after the battle ended, she could no longer maintain her 'spirit' state, and returned to the Fairy Tree. Another month later, the Fairy Tree also began to decline, until it completely withered … and died. In the end, only a withered seed was left, and it was buried deep in the Fairy Fountain. "
This was a secret of the Fairy Clan, and she told it to Ling Chen without holding back. It was obvious that she had complete trust in him. Ling Chen listened quietly, and then nodded slowly. "So … it's like this. In other words, all these years, the seed of the Nature Tree has always been in the Fairy Fountain, and never germinated? And the Nature Goddess never appeared again? "
"Indeed." Granny Witherwood said sadly, "Do you know why the Fairy Clan, which was so prosperous back then, has declined so much? That's right, it's because the Fairy Clan's reproduction rate is lower than that of any other clan. However, when the Nature Goddess existed, the Fairy Clan's reproduction rate was not inferior to that of humans. All of this was because the Nature Goddess and the Nature Tree fell into a deep sleep. They are the source of the Fairy Clan's power and life force. Without the Fairy Tree's power, the Fairy Clan's power will become weaker and weaker with each generation, and it will be incredibly difficult for the next generation to be born. Today, there are only two thousand of the elves left from the once prosperous elven race. "
"In that case, since the Fairy Tree has grown again, does that mean that the Fairy Clan's power has increased, and that it will be easier for them to give birth to the next generation?" Ling Chen asked.
"That's right!" A happy smile appeared on Greenwood's face. He spread out his arms as he faced the Fairy Tree, "This is the aura and power of the Fairy Tree. I can feel all of the cells in my body jumping with joy, and my Fairy energy is restless. It's like a sprout in spring, waiting to grow … this is great, our Fairy Clan has finally been reborn."
Perhaps the Fairy Clan's decline could be alleviated by mating with humans and using the humans' reproduction rate. However, after mating with humans, the Fairies would no longer be pure creatures. Unless they had no other choice, the Fairy Clan would never make such a choice. And now, with the Fairy Tree's miraculous rebirth, the Fairies no longer needed to mate with humans. The crisis of the Fairy Clan's decline had been resolved.
"This is also why we desperately protect the Fairy Fountain, not allowing anything to taint it. Because the Fairy Tree's seed is in the Fairy Fountain, and every generation of our ancestors has wished for the Fairy Tree to grow again. The Fairy Fountain is the purest water in the world, and is the only natural fountain that can help the Fairy Tree grow again. If it is tainted, perhaps it will never be able to help the Fairy Tree grow again. As such, the Fairy Fountain is a place that our Fairy Clan must protect with our lives, and we will not allow any outsiders to come near or touch it. "
"Ling Tian, did you and Cai 'Er really not do anything here?" Greenwood cautiously asked. The Fairy Tree wouldn't suddenly appear for no reason, so something must have happened.
Ling Chen thought for a while, then shook his head, "After Cai 'Er and I came here, I only looked at Shui Ruo from the sky, and Cai' Er stayed by my side. We didn't go anywhere else, nor did we touch anything. In fact, we didn't even say much. Just as we were about to leave, a green light shot out from the water, and the Fairy Tree suddenly grew. "
Ling Chen carefully thought about what had happened after he had arrived. From arriving until leaving, because his heart was filled with Shui Ruo, he hadn't done anything unnecessary, nor had he said anything unnecessary. Oh … if there had been anything unnecessary, it would be that when he had looked away from Shui Ruo, he had shed a tear … but the Fairy Tree's sudden growth couldn't have been related to his tear.
"… Then why did the Fairy Tree suddenly appear? Could it be that something happened here when we weren't here? "Greenwood muttered to himself in confusion.
"Hurry and look at Cai 'Er, she doesn't seem right," Ling Chen reminded Greenwood and Granny Witherwood. From the moment the Fairy Tree had broken through the water, Cai 'Er's body had been glowing with a jade-green light. She seemed to have lost her soul as she stared at the Fairy Tree in a daze, her small body floating in the air motionlessly.
Greenwood and Granny Witherwood had already noticed Cai 'Er's strange state, but they weren't too surprised. Granny Witherwood slowly said, "Don't worry, the light on Cai 'Er's body is because she was too close to the Fairy Tree, causing her Fairy Power to be reactivated. In other words, under the influence of the Fairy Tree, her Fairy Power will become stronger and purer. Any Fairy that gets close to the Fairy Tree will become like this. Haha, it's been ten thousand years, and the Fairy Tree has finally reappeared. Cai 'Er has become the first Fairy to bathe in the Fairy Tree's power … oh? "
Before she finished speaking, Granny Witherwood's voice suddenly stopped as a look of surprise appeared on her face. Greenwood's expression also changed slightly.
This was because the jade-green light around Cai 'Er's body had suddenly expanded by more than ten times, forming a circle of green light that was five or six metres in diameter. Following this, the Fairy Power in Cai' Er's body had also increased by many times. This incredibly dense Fairy Power caused Greenwood and Granny Witherwood to feel suffocated.
"What's going on?" The shockingly powerful aura caused even Greenwood, who had Mysterious God power, to take a step back. He was deeply shocked, "Even if her power increased under the influence of the Fairy Tree, it shouldn't have grown to such a degree … this power has already surpassed mine!"
Ling Chen was a bit closer to Cai 'Er, and was pushed back 10 or so metres by the Fairy Storm. Hearing Greenwood's words, Ling Chen felt incredibly shocked: She was stronger than Greenwood? Although Cai 'Er wasn't weak before, and her strength was only at Celestial grade, Greenwood was a Level 100 Mysterious God grade!
