Chapter 879
However, they didn’t ask because the Queen had given the order that Zhao Hai could look for him directly after he arrived. There was no need to inform anyone. Hence, they politely invited Zhao Hai into the palace.
The Queen and the elders were all waiting for news from Zhao Hai in the elven Palace. They could not return to their own residences to cultivate at this time. If something really did happen to the Tree of Life, then everything would be in trouble.
At this moment, he heard an elder open his eyes and say, ” “They’re here.”
Everyone in the hall stood up and looked anxiously in the direction of the Hall’s door. After a while, Zhao Hai slowly walked in. The Queen immediately dismissed the guards around Zhao Hai and invited him into the hall. Everyone in the hall looked at Zhao Hai with eager eyes.
Zhao Hai looked at everyone’s expressions and smiled. &Quot; “I didn’t fail you!”
Hearing Zhao Hai’s words, the great elders and the elven queen could not help but cheer. This matter was simply too important to them.
The Queen and the others bowed to Zhao Hai in unison. Zhao Hai quickly stepped aside and said, ” &Quot; Your Majesty, elders, you’re too polite. We’re allies now. No matter who is in trouble, it’s only right for us to help each other. Please don’t be so polite. &Quot;
The Queen and the Grand elders of the elf race stood up. The Queen looked at Zhao Hai and said,”Although Sir says so, this bow is something that Sir should accept. Sir might not know what the Tree of Life means to our elven race, but by saving the Tree of Life, Sir has saved our entire race. It is only right for Sir to accept this bow.”
Although the elven elders did not say anything, they all looked at Zhao Hai gratefully. Zhao Hai smiled at them and said, ” “Your Majesty, elders, we still need to ask the Tree of Life to return to its position. There are still matters at the front line, so I can’t be away for too long.”
“Alright, please follow me, Sir,” the Queen quickly replied. Then, he led Zhao Hai and the others to the backyard of the palace, sat on the voiceless bird, and went straight to the cave where the Anzhi Tree of Life was.
After reaching the cave, Zhao Hai didn’t hold back and placed the Tree of Life in the pool. Seeing the Tree of Life looking even more spirited than before, the elves couldn’t help but cheer.
Zhao Hai looked at them and smiled. He turned to the Queen and said, ” &Quot; Your Majesty, this tree isn’t sick. It’s just that a large amount of dark energy has invaded it, so it’s slowly withering. I used a secret technique to absorb the dark energy, and I also used some potions. Now, the Tree of Life is no longer afraid of the dark energy’s invasion. However, you still have to be careful about this matter. The secret saying is that a place like the elf forest shouldn’t have dark energy. This is really strange. &Quot;
When the elven queen and the elders heard Zhao Hai’s words, they were stunned. Then, they looked at Zhao Hai with a serious expression and said,”Is what teacher said true? Is the Tree of Life really being invaded by dark energy?”
Zhao Hai nodded. &Quot; that’s right. I don’t dare to hide this from Your Majesty. The Tree of Life was indeed invaded by dark energy. I’m absolutely sure of this. &Quot;
The Queen turned to look at the elders, and the elders looked at each other. They sighed and said, ” “I didn’t expect this day to come.”
Zhao Hai was stunned when he heard what the elders said. He looked at them in confusion. The Queen saw Zhao Hai’s confusion and said in a deep voice, ” “Sir, you might not know this, but our Elf race also has a prophecy. However, our prophecy is different from the dwarf race’s. The dwarf race’s prophecy was written on the first page of their race’s internal history, while our Elf race’s prophecy was sealed away. It can only be opened under special circumstances.”
Zhao Hai was taken aback. He never thought that the elven race would have such a prophecy. However, after hearing the Queen’s words, he more or less understood. He turned to the Queen and said,”Your Majesty, what do you mean?”
“When the Tree of Life is invaded by dark energy, the prophecy will be opened,” the elven queen said with a nod.
“But if I didn’t treat the Tree of Life, how would you have known that it was invaded by dark energy?” Zhao Hai asked with a frown.
The Queen said, ” “This is something that we can figure out, but it will take a longer time. When all nine leaves of the tree of Life turn yellow, then slowly turn black, it means that the dark energy has invaded. However, this has never been discovered before, so when the leaves began to turn yellow, we panicked and forgot what we were saying. Fortunately, Sir told us. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have known that the Tree of Life had been invaded by dark energy.”
&Quot; yes. &Quot; Zhao Hai nodded, ” then, can Your Majesty open the prophecy and let me take a look? ”
The Queen turned to look at the elders, and everyone nodded. The Queen then turned to Zhao Hai and said, ” “Please follow me, Sir.” After saying that, he walked out of the tree hole where the Tree of Life was and returned to the palace on the voiceless bird.
When they arrived at the palace, the Queen invited Zhao Hai to sit in the main hall. She then went to the inner room and took out a small wooden box.
The Queen placed the small box on a small table in the hall and gently opened it. To Zhao Hai’s surprise, the box did not have any mechanisms. It was just an ordinary wooden box. There was not even a seal on it. It was opened easily.
However, the other elves in the hall didn’t think so. When they saw the Queen open the box so easily, their faces all turned grim.
Zhao Hai knew that there was something going on when he saw the looks on their faces. He looked at the Queen in confusion. The Queen raised her head and looked at Zhao Hai. She knew what Zhao Hai was thinking just from his expression. She said in a deep voice,”Sir, you might not know this, but this box couldn’t be opened in the past. Our elf tribe has thought of many ways to open this box, but we’ve never succeeded. We mainly wanted to see what was written in the prophecy because the Tree of Life is really too important to our elf tribe. It’s impossible for us to see all nine of its leaves turn yellow. However, back then, this box couldn’t be opened at all, and even the God-grade powerhouses of the elf tribe couldn’t do anything about it. So, we thought of another method, which was for all the elven Queens to try to open the box once a month to see when they could open it. ”
Zhao Hai nodded. The Queen turned to the elders and said,”I tried it two days ago, but I couldn’t open the box. I didn’t expect it to work now.”
After the Queen said that, she opened the box very carefully. Once she opened the box, everyone in the hall was stunned. Because at first glance, the box was empty. But after taking a closer look, everyone was relieved. At the bottom of the box, there was a piece of paper!
That’s right, it was a mistake. This box had been in the elven race for many years. Even if there was paper in it, it would have been rotten. However, this piece of paper was as white as new, as if it had just been put in it.
The Queen gently picked up the piece of paper. There were some green words written on it. The Queen took a look at the words and frowned. She handed it to a great elder beside her.
The Grand Elder took the piece of paper and slowly read the words on it. He frowned and read softly, ” &Quot; when darkness and light become our enemies at the same time, when skeletons and steel stand side by side in the world, when the world has merged, the only thing that can save the world is the Pure Land! &Quot;
The prophecy was very short and not as straightforward as the dwarves “prophecy, so no one understood what was going on. However, when Zhao Hai heard the prophecy, his body trembled slightly. He was extremely shocked and impressed by the person who had left behind the prophecy for the dwarves and elves.
The elves didn’t really understand what the prophecy meant, but he did. In the prophecy, the darkness should refer to the demon race, and the light should refer to the God race. It meant that the God race and the demon race would become enemies on the continent at the same time. The skeletons and the steel might be commanded by the undead creatures and the magic cannons. The merging of the world might also mean that the God race had changed the laws of the world and allowed a piece of the God race’s continent to land on the ark continent. The only thing that could save the world was the Pure Land.
Zhao Hai didn’t even need to think to know that the Pure Land referred to one thing-space!
Other than the realm, Zhao Hai couldn’t think of any other place that could be called a Pure Land. Zhao Hai sighed, ” &Quot; I think what’s written here should be the current situation on the continent. Light and darkness should refer to the God race and demon race. As for skeleton and steel, they should refer to the undead creatures and magic cannons. As for what Pure Land is, I’m not too sure. &Quot;
When the Queen heard Zhao Hai’s words, she was stunned for a moment. Then, her eyes lit up and she turned to look at Zhao Hai, ” “Sir, you are just being modest. I think the Pure Land here should be referring to the black soil wasteland. Now that the black soil wasteland has become the safest place on the continent, it should be called a Pure Land. It seems that this prophecy is similar to the dwarf race’s prophecy. The meaning is that Sir, you are the Savior of the entire continent.”
Zhao Hai was taken aback. He never thought that the Queen would refer to the Pure Land as the black wasteland. However, since the Queen and the others did not know about the existence of space, it was not an exaggeration to refer to the Pure Land as the black wasteland.
The black soil wasteland was currently taking in people from various races. Furthermore, the black soil wasteland had some preferential conditions for the alien races. It was reasonable for the alien races to call it a Pure Land.
But was the prophecy really that simple?
