Han Jin had been gone for six or seven days, but his bedroom was still spotless, and the flowers in the vases in the corner were still in full bloom. Sunier didn't have any other hobbies. Apart from her daily training, she always spent a lot of time and energy decorating her room bit by bit. Of course, there was also Han Jin's room. In this regard, Sunier was very domineering. She didn't allow Han Jin to tell her what to do and did as she pleased.
However, Han Jin had gone through a severe test. When he was in the World of Warcraft Forest, Sunier had made his straw hut look like a girl's boudoir. He even had to sleep on a flower boat. Now, this was just child's play.
After stepping into the room, Sunier and Yalina looked at each other, then quietly looked at Han Jin. Han Jin had just returned, and he had pulled them here. It couldn't be just to say some intimate words. After being with Han Jin for a long time, they knew very well that Han Jin wasn't someone who liked to indulge in love. There must be something important.
Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Han Jin slowly said, "Sunier, if I do something that makes you unhappy, or … something that makes you angry, will you forgive me?"
"What?" Sunier was shocked, then shook her head in panic. "No … no, you won't." After all, Sunier was a strong person who had activated the Mark of God. Under normal circumstances, nothing could shake her beliefs and determination. She was panicking because of the hidden meaning in Han Jin's words.
"What if I must do it?" Han Jin sighed softly.
"You …" Sunier was stunned. She didn't understand why Han Jin was like this.
"Raphael?!" Yalina shouted angrily. Although she loved Han Jin wholeheartedly, she wouldn't completely lose herself. Moreover, during the few days when Han Jin's life was uncertain, she and Sunier had been accompanying and comforting each other. Seeing Han Jin suddenly make things difficult for Sunier, she couldn't stand it anymore.
"You … What are you doing?" Sunier pulled on Yalina's arm. Perhaps she was worried that Yalina was too reckless and would annoy Han Jin. Or perhaps she was already confused and subconsciously wanted to grasp something.
"Let's do it now. You'll find out sooner or later anyway." Han Jin smiled, then stretched out his right hand and waved gently. Sunier and Yalina suddenly felt their vision blur, and then they found themselves in a strange world.
Beneath the three of them was a towering mountain peak. Behind them was an undulating mountain range. Waves of fog drifted through the mountain range, and in front of them was a boundless lake. As the breeze blew past, ripples of seven-colored light appeared on the surface of the lake. It was so beautiful that it was dazzling, as if the lake was filled with countless gemstones.
The only difference between this world and the outside world was that there seemed to be no life. They couldn't hear the whispers of insects or the chirping of birds, and the mountain range under their feet and behind them didn't have a trace of green.
However, the flowing wind was extremely pure. With a gentle breath, a refreshing experience seeped into their hearts and lungs. Sunier and Yalina felt that every bit of their flesh and blood was jumping with joy. The feeling was indescribable. They found that their bodies were becoming lighter and lighter, as if they could break free from the ground at any time and fly into the sky.
They should have been cheering loudly, but Sunier and Yalina couldn't laugh. They kept looking at Han Jin's back, waiting for an answer and an explanation.
"I want to move the Tree of Life here," Han Jin said softly, pointing forward.
"Wh … Why?!" Sunier was shocked again.
"I went to the Capital of Elements and met Grand Duke Solomon. You should know, right?" Han Jin was silent for a moment. "I … promised him that I would fulfill a few wishes for him."
"What wishes?" Sunier's heart was beating faster and faster. She faintly sensed that Han Jin's strange attitude at this moment was definitely related to Grand Duke Solomon's wishes!
"I will destroy the Beast God Totem Pole, the Demon's Pool, the Heavenly Realm controlled by Alpha, and … the Elven Race's Ancient Tree of Life at all costs," Han Jin said word by word.
Sunier suddenly felt her vision go dark. The blood in her chest churned, and she almost couldn't breathe. Han Jin's words were like a cruel stick that almost made her faint on the spot.
The Ancient Tree of Life was the symbol of the Goddess of Nature and the highest belief of the Elven Race. If this sentence reached the ears of the Elves, regardless of gender or age, all the Elves would fight Han Jin to the death. The battle wouldn't end until the last Elf fell.
What was even more frightening was that if Han Jin had already decided to destroy the Ancient Tree of Life at that time, then what about his cooperation with the Elven Race, his reconciliation with Sunier, and his harmonious relationship with her brother Gao Bin? Was he deceiving or using her?!
"What? How come I didn't know? "Yalina asked in surprise.
"Because your shoulders are too tender," Han Jin said softly.
"But … but at that time … Father told you …" The more she spoke, the harder it was for her to speak. However, her meaning was obvious. With Han Jin's ability at that time, asking Han Jin to do all this was simply asking Han Jin to commit suicide.
"It can be seen that Grand Duke Solomon also didn't think that I could do it." Han Jin smiled. "He said … this should be our … our, or our human's dream and goal. It will require several generations, or even more than ten generations of unremitting efforts."
"Why did it have to be like this?" Yalina's tone was strained.
"In order to no longer let faith blind our eyes, in order to no longer be a toy, in order to no longer be threatened, or … in order to be free." Han Jin said slowly, "Compared to the powerful gods, humans are indeed humble and insignificant. However, we should at least have the right to freely choose our lives. No one can deprive us of this right, not even the gods."
"I mean … why must we destroy the Ancient Tree of Life?!" Yalina cried out.
"Because the Ancient Tree of Life is a magic beacon left by the Goddess of Nature in this plane. If we don't do anything, sooner or later, the power of the Goddess of Nature will return to our world." Han Jin paused for a moment. "Although the Goddess of Nature is the most gentle among all the gods, we can't entrust our future to others. Our fate should be controlled by ourselves."
Sunier shook her head and slowly retreated. Every time she shook her head, a string of tears would fall. She had never thought that Han Jin would actually conspire with Grand Duke Solomon in the Capital of Elements in an attempt to destroy the Ancient Tree of Life of the elves. Other things might be easy to talk about, but in the face of a major event that would determine the survival of the elves, how could she understand?!
Han Jin's figure flashed and appeared in front of Sunier. He reached out to grab Sunier's shoulders and whispered, "Sunier, listen to me …"
"Go away!!" Sunier screamed and then struggled with all her might.
However, Han Jin's hands contained an incomparably powerful force. They were firmly pressed on Sunier's shoulders as if they were cast from iron. No matter how hard Sunier struggled, she couldn't break free.
"Sunier, are you willing to believe me?" Han Jin said slowly. Seeing Sunier's appearance, a touch of pain flashed through his eyes, but he couldn't turn back. When he first heard Grand Duke Solomon talk about the gods, he only felt that Solomon's words were reasonable. Now that he had advanced to the Immortal Realm, he could clearly feel the energy fluctuations radiating from the Gate of Heaven. They condensed into an indescribable link that extended into the endless space. Then, the Ancient Tree of Life should be the same. If he wanted to completely cut off the link, he had to destroy the Heaven Realm and the Ancient Tree of Life.
How could Sunier, whose rationality was on the verge of collapse, listen to Han Jin's words? Because her rationality wasn't clear, she forgot her fighting skills. She only tore and kicked Han Jin's body. She didn't think about anything else, she just wanted to get away from Han Jin.
"Sunier, are you willing to believe me?" Han Jin's eyes were a little wet. If they were to compare the torment and pain in his heart, Han Jin's suffering was deeper and heavier than Sunier's, because he also had to bear the guilt.
In fact, it was very easy to destroy the Ancient Tree of Life. If he really wanted to do it, no one in the Elf Race could stop him, but he still hadn't made a decision. If it weren't for the fact that he was worried about Sunier, Gao Bin, Lydia, and the other elves, with Han Jin's style, how could he hesitate?!
Sunier was desperately twisting, and her fingertips accidentally touched the quiver that was swinging back and forth. She immediately pulled out an arrow, held it tightly, and stabbed it straight at Han Jin's neck.
Han Jin didn't want to dodge. He had hurt Sunier so many times, and he deserved to be punished. Sunier didn't even realize what she was doing, but Yalina, who was watching from the side, saw everything clearly. She was so scared that she screamed, "Sunier …"
Yalina's scream made Sunier sober up a little. She saw that the sharp tip of the arrow was close to Han Jin's throat. Her hand couldn't help but soften, and the tip of the arrow lost its aim. It pierced through the side of Han Jin's neck, leaving a deep cut. Fresh blood slowly seeped out.
"Sunier, are you willing to believe me?" Han Jin didn't seem to feel anything. He was still staring at Sunier. He had already repeated the same sentence three times, and each time his tone was heavier than the last.
Knowing about Han Jin and Grand Duke Solomon's conspiracy made Sunier's heart ache. Just now, she had hurt Han Jin with her own hands, which was equivalent to adding to the pain. When she saw Han Jin's clear eyes, which were filled with helplessness and sorrow, she couldn't support her body anymore. She softly slid down.
Sunier really wanted to take this opportunity to faint. She didn't want to hear anything, see anything, or think anything, and then wake up and forget everything. However, the flowing wind here seemed to contain a strange power that kept nourishing her almost exhausted spirit.
"Listen to me, Sunier, I … really like you!" Han Jin slowly hugged Sunier in his arms and whispered in Sunier's ear. He even forgot to heal himself and let the blood drip on his shoulder. "I won't hurt you, and I won't hurt your companions, so … I've thought a lot. Do you see this world? This will become a paradise for the elves. From today onwards, you will live a free life, and no one will be able to hurt you. Also … here, I have the confidence to suppress the power of the Goddess of Liberty … and … "
Han Jin kept whispering, telling her his helplessness, his purpose, and his fear. Yes, Han Jin was afraid. He was afraid of causing an irreparable break. However, Sunier kept her eyes closed and didn't respond. He didn't know if she heard him or not …
