Chapter 3050: MaintainingEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Let them activate the magic array."
Kapa drooped his eyelids and couldn’t help yawning, "Sorry, Your Highness, according to the translations from the stone wall, only the Goddess can control and activate the magic array. I think if we let them try to activate it, that would prove their identity..."
Although the third prince didn’t understand much about alchemy, he couldn’t help frowning deeply at Kapa’s words.
Really?
Activating a giant-sized alchemy magic array required immense mental strength.
Could the Goddess’s identity alone be enough?
Wasn’t this nonsense?
But since things had come to this...
What if? What if there was a miracle?
The sunk cost was too great already. Neo had gone too far to turn back. He clenched his teeth and said, "Let them try!"
Soon, the three half-elves, including Cleriway, were brought forward. The guards pulled one of the half-elves beside Cleriway and dragged her before the magic array.
"Your Highness, I can’t do it, really..."
"Stop talking! Hurry!"
Two guards grabbed the half-elf’s hands and pressed them onto the magic array.
The magic array showed no reaction at all.
Neo looked at Kapa, who shook his head slightly.
"Take her away! Next!" Neo lost patience and ordered, "Bring Cleriway here immediately!"
"Yes!"
Cleriway was extremely nervous as two guards supported her on either side and brought her before the magic array. She trembled as she stretched out her hands, pressing both palms onto the array.
Almost simultaneously, in a spirit form invisible to others, Fang Heng also placed both hands on the magic array.
A buzzing sound emerged.
There was a reaction!
At once, the elves in the Great Hall all showed surprise in their eyes.
This was really promising!
As Cleriway’s hands touched the magic array, it blossomed faintly with light.
Doris looked at the magic array entering a premonition activation state and was instantly shocked.
It actually worked?
The elves’ ancient magic array really held secrets they didn’t know. Could the so-called Goddess really exist?
"Yes! It’s her!"
Kapa, prompted by Fang Heng, regained his energy and pointed at Cleriway loudly.
"It’s her. She is the Goddess. She can control the magic array! Hurry, let her fully activate it!"
Neo watched Cleriway closely, his tone softening a bit.
"Cleriway, you should know the elves face a great crisis. Our entire race might be destroyed. Now is the best chance to repay your bloodline. Listen to Mr. Kapa and activate the magic array."
Cleriway didn’t know when she had become some kind of Goddess. Hearing this, she trembled but poured her mental strength into the magic array.
"Buzz!"
The magic array immediately blossomed with a cyan-green light!
The entire giant-sized magic array started up!
Large sections of runes on the array were triggered and slowly circulated.
"Chi, chi, chi..."
What?
The priests closely watched the magic array’s center.
As the array operated, a faint white spatial fluctuation blossomed at the center.
What was that?
Looking carefully, tiny branches and leaves emerged from the white spatial fluctuation.
Dark red tiny vine saplings.
They carried an aura very similar to the ancient tree of life, but were clearly different.
The leaves spread outward, and in the center appeared something like a seed.
"The seed of life!"
Before others could question, Kapa shouted immediately.
"This is the seed of life recorded on the stone wall! The Goddess has returned, the old era ends, a new century descends. Using the old tree of life as nourishment, the Goddess will cultivate the seed of life. The new tree of life will lead the elves out of crisis and open a new era!"
The two elven patriarch elders frowned deeply, their unease growing.
What new era, old era?
The seed of life was this?
Why had nothing like this appeared in previous records?
And the new tree of life needed to use the current tree of life as nourishment?
Neo’s face showed excitement, feeling the thrill of a last-ditch gamble paying off!
New replacing old!
Not only the tree of life, but also the royal power of the elven tribe!
Once the new tree formed, he would witness and cultivate it as king, leading the elves to defeat the mutant worms and save the race from destruction!
Neo already foresaw his reputation in the elves reaching its peak.
How would his two older brothers compete with him then?
Neo didn’t notice the suspicious expressions on the two patriarch elders’ faces and asked Kapa, "How can we cultivate the new sacred tree?"
Following Fang Heng’s prior advice, Kapa continued.
"The seed can absorb the power of the ancient tree and grow on its own. Because they share the same source of energy, the absorption wastes little energy. Once the seed finishes absorbing all the energy, it will replace the old tree of life and become the elves’ protective power."
"Also, during this process, the old ancient tree’s strength will be continuously extracted, which may cause restlessness. We need to carefully control and calm it to complete the replacement."
"Good!"
Neo showed excitement and immediately ordered the priests to notify Elder Deborah.
Deborah, as the head elder of the Elders Council, was responsible for caring for the ancient tree. They needed to keep the tree calm and help transfer its strength to the new seed.
"No!"
Elder Doris stopped the priests who were about to report.
She had felt from the start that something was wrong, but couldn’t find the flaw until now.
She looked at Kapa solemnly and said, "Kapa, the elves currently rely entirely on the ancient tree’s strength to survive this Disaster. If the tree is consumed during this time, how can we resist the mutant worm invasion?"
Kapa was left speechless, then forced a response.
"This is the stone wall’s premonition. I don’t know exactly what will happen."
Elder Brand also felt uneasy, sensing something was off. He advised, "Your Highness, this matter requires extreme caution. It would be better to report to His Majesty before making any decisions."
"No need! When I arrived, my father had already told me to act as I see fit! This is my order. Notify Elder Deborah to cooperate with the alchemy magic array operation, calm the ancient tree, and complete the cultivation of the new tree of life!"
Neo had firmly accepted the premonition without doubt.
Or rather, he desperately hoped the premonition was true.
"Your Highness..."
"Elders, no more words! We have no time. Disaster descends, the elves face crisis, the Goddess returns, and the old and new trees of life must transition. All the premonitions on the stone wall have come true. What else do you doubt?"
