Chapter 292: Spirit Awakening: The Fairy Race and the Elf Race
After the flower buds appeared, the Life Tree supplied all its energy to the buds.
The energy absorbed by the other flower buds was identical; however, there was an unusual existence—that golden flower bud, which absorbed several times more energy than the others, as if it were the focus of everyone's attention.
If not for the Infusion from Jerry and the Fairy Queen, the Life Tree would have had to bear this massive energy demand alone.
This also made Jerry understand why the roots of the Life Tree were so enormous.
That was not merely the result of natural Growth, but rather to provide a continuous supply of energy to satisfy the needs of life.
This was only because they encountered Jerry and the Fairy Queen; their existence brought a turning point for this Life Tree.
Infusing plants with energy that is easy to absorb allows these plants to grow rapidly under the nourishment of abundant energy.
A few days later, even for Jerry and the Fairy Queen, the energy was not enough.
Having no other choice, the two began to absorb soul power from the heavens and earth to recover, Infusing while recovering.
Previously, the two had never absorbed soul power from the heavens and earth.
The two absorbed too much soul power; if they absorbed at full strength, the soul power within a radius of tens of thousands of miles would be instantly drained.
Moreover, they had always been helping the world convert soul power, so every time they exhausted their soul power, they would go into the universe to absorb it.
Now, however, the two had no such concerns; the world consciousness was already wary of Jerry, so what did it matter if they absorbed some soul power?
Following the absorption by Jerry and the Fairy Queen, the soul power between the heavens and earth gathered toward them rapidly like a magnet, forming chaotic turbulent currents of soul power.
These turbulent currents were like tornadoes, sweeping the Soul Power Particles in the surrounding space into them, making the originally invisible soul power now manifest, flying toward the location of the two in a flurry.
Finally, two huge vortices formed above the heads of the two, like two massive black holes, greedily devouring all the soul power in the surrounding heavens and earth.
After the soul power vortices appeared, they grew larger and taller, eventually shooting straight up to an altitude of ten thousand meters.
Many people saw this spectacle inside the Star Dou Great Forest, but no one came to investigate.
Wuhun City
Looking toward the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest, where two huge vortices shot straight into the sky, Qian Daoliu spoke: "Poseidon, believe it or not, this matter definitely has to do with Jerry."
"I think so too. After this World Advancement, the changes have been too great; this is true for humans, and it is the same for Soul Beasts. Only Jerry could create such a huge commotion inside the Star Dou Great Forest. Now there is no longer any conflict between humans and Soul Beasts, and it feels like the whole world is so beautiful; I hope this beauty can continue."
Poseidon had never imagined before that the world would develop into what it is now; it was so peaceful that she could hardly believe it, but she had witnessed all of this with her own eyes, so she had to believe it was a fact.
In the past, Poseidon felt that only Sea God Island was peaceful, not participating in outside disputes, and was the last pure land on the continent.
But the appearance of Jerry changed the entire continent.
Although on the surface the continent was not unified, in reality, whether it was the Empire or some smaller kingdoms, no disputes occurred.
The entire continent, with the development of time, also became increasingly prosperous.
Jerry had said before that he was worried the gods of the God Realm would cause trouble, but after this World Advancement, Jerry said the world could now fully support god-level powerhouses, and the threat of the God Realm to the continent was no longer as irresistible as it once was.
For the continent, what is lacking now is time.
As long as there is enough time for the Douluo Continent to develop, the God Realm will sooner or later return to the embrace of the continent.
These matters are all things of the future; for now, one only needs to improve their strength.
Because of Jerry's instructions, these god-level powerhouses in Wuhun City were all working hard to improve themselves, without any slackening.
The common people of Wuhun City and the Two Great Empires naturally also saw this spectacle.
However, they had no particular reaction, feeling it was nothing strange; after all, they had already seen the scene of a World Advancement twice, and what scene could be more terrifying than a World Advancement?
And even if something really big happened, the high-level officials of the Spirit Hall and the Two Great Empires would be there to handle it; if even they could not solve it, what could the common people do?
Tang San looked at the sky in the distance; the two huge vortices were very spectacular, but then he shook his head.
The more he learned and the broader his knowledge became, he truly could not understand this world anymore.
In the past, he felt that diligent Cultivation and cultivation base were the foundation, and everything else was unimportant.
After coming into contact with more and more knowledge while serving as a guard at the Spirit Hall Academy, he discovered that soul power cultivation was not the only way out.
By chance, Tang San was assigned to guard the testing grounds.
At that time, an explosion test was being conducted.
He saw with his own eyes that after a fist-sized object exploded, it instantly blasted out a twenty-meter-wide crater.
Hearing the academy teacher's explanation, this was only the least powerful Soul Guidance Grenade; there were many things with greater power than this, and this was just an introductory item.
An introductory item!
Introductory!
This sentence kept echoing in Tang San's mind.
Tang San remembered the matter of Sea God Island; although he was not at the scene at that time, he had heard about it afterward.
Jerry dropped a weapon of immense power near Sea God Island, instantly causing a tsunami, and everything on Sea God Island was destroyed in this incident.
Later, Tang San secretly went to Sea God Island once; where Sea God Island used to be, there was now a stretch of quiet sea.
The entire Sea God Island had disappeared.
Tang San was very clear about the size of Sea God Island; to be able to destroy Sea God Island was definitely not something human power could achieve.
Added to what he saw and heard today, Tang San's whole body trembled.
This meant that many years ago, the Spirit Hall already had weapons of such great power.
Once he thought of the explosive power of this kind of weapon, even now that he had become a god, he might not necessarily be able to withstand it.
Facing this kind of weapon with immense power, it was no longer a matter of numbers; even if the Light God Sect had over a hundred thousand people (that is what Tang San believed), they could not withstand one such explosive weapon.
This also instantly made Tang San feel a bit fortunate that he had not jumped out to oppose the Spirit Hall directly at the time; otherwise, if the Spirit Hall had dropped such an explosive weapon directly into his own base, would that not have instantly destroyed the years of effort of himself and the others?
Once he thought that this kind of explosive weapon was made by a Soul Guidance Master, Tang San felt a pang of heartache.
The fact that he could not learn the Soul Guidance Master profession had always made Tang San feel very helpless.
However, this kind of weapon had a drawback: after the explosion, it did not distinguish between friend and foe, attacking indiscriminately.
If it really came to a final battle with the Spirit Hall, he would stay closer to Wuhun City; in that case, the Spirit Hall would not dare to use this kind of weapon.
Thinking of this, Tang San's mood instantly improved a lot.
The core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Under the unremitting Infusion from Jerry and the Fairy Queen, the flower buds on the Life Tree began to show changes.
The first to show changes was the golden flower bud.
The abundant energy caused the golden flower bud to begin blooming, and at the same time, golden light spread outward in all directions as the bud bloomed.
The other flower buds shook a few times, as if in joy, or as if celebrating.
The golden light dissipated, the flower bud had fully bloomed, and a huge golden flower appeared.
In the center of the flower, there was no so-called pistil, but rather a golden ball of light inside.
It was a bit like a fruit, if not for its size being too large.
The golden ball of light suddenly emitted a strong and dazzling radiance, then its surface began to crack, and in an instant, cracks covered the entire golden ball of light.
"Bang!"
A crisp sound of an explosion.
The golden ball of light exploded directly, revealing its true colors inside.
A young girl with a head of golden hair, curled up together, appeared.
The exploded ball of light transformed directly into a golden garment, instantly wrapping around this young girl.
A moment later, the young girl raised her head and began to look around.
The flower beneath her then transmitted a surge of energy into the young girl's body.
After the young girl was stunned for a moment, her originally ignorant and confused eyes became lustrous.
Jerry observed this Elf girl carefully at this moment.
This Elf girl possessed an extraordinary, elegant temperament, as if she were surrounded by a faint golden light, making her like the rising morning Sun, warm and bright.
Her long hair was like the rays of the Sun, shining with golden brilliance; every strand of hair seemed to have been meticulously carved, emitting a charming luster.
Her face was like exquisite porcelain, fair and translucent.
Her eyes were like deep lakes, reflecting the light of the stars, profound and mysterious.
Her pupils flickered with golden light, as if a cluster of Fire Attribute flames were burning in her eyes.
Her nose was high and straight, her lips were red and full, and every subtle expression appeared so vivid.
Her figure was graceful, like a rosebud waiting to bloom.
Her shoulders were elegant and rounded, and the exposed skin was fair and delicate, as if it were ivory glowing with gold.
Her fingers were slender, like exquisite porcelain, and every movement appeared so elegant and natural.
This Elf girl wore a crown on her head, and the crown was composed of branches and green leaves.
This crown made her appear even more solemn and noble, destined to become the focus of everyone's attention.
Her temperament was unique, possessing innate nobility and elegance.
Her existence was like a melodious poem, making it impossible for people to ignore her presence.
Her beauty was not just an outward appearance, but an inner radiance capable of illuminating the surrounding world.
This golden-haired Elf girl wearing a crown was not only a beautiful existence, but also a kind of spiritual power.
She was a unique beauty, an existence that one could not ignore.
While Jerry was still observing, this Elf girl took a step forward, and this step appeared directly in front of the Fairy Queen.
Following the departure of this Elf girl, the flower she had been sitting on began to wither.
A breeze blew by, and the withered flower fell directly, slowly landing on the surface of Life Lake.
"Lottie Alice?"
The Fairy Queen looked at the beautiful Elf girl in front of her and spoke.
"Alison Monica?"
After hearing the Fairy Queen's words, this Elf girl also asked.
"Mm!"
After the Fairy Queen replied, the two smiled at each other and then hugged.
What is this situation?
Jerry was completely confused.
Didn't she just get born?
The two of them even know each other.
Also, what did this Elf girl just say?
Alison Monica?
Is this the Fairy Queen's name?
Wasn't it said that the name was very long?
Nine-Tailed Fox, can't even remember six characters?
"Luodi, let me introduce you, this is Jerry, and he is also the King of the Fairy Clan. Jerry helped a lot with your Recovery this time; you must thank him properly later. However, his situation is very special, and I will explain it to you later."
"Jerry, this is Luodi, the Elf Queen."
The Fairy Queen began to introduce them in the middle, and for once, a smile appeared on her usually plain face.
"Hello, Luodi, very happy to see you, welcome back!"
"Hello to you too, Jerry, thank you for your help, very happy to meet you."
Afterward, the Fairy Queen talked about the matter of the Elf Queen.
In the ancient era, the Fairy Queen and the Elf Queen were good friends, and they had even signed a contract between them.
The Elf Race is different from the Fairies; the Elf Race exists by being attached to the Life Tree.
Back then, they were also schemed against; the Life Tree was split and damaged, and the overall strength of the Elf Race declined.
In the end, they were defeated, and after all of them perished, the Elves returned to the Life Tree.
If not for Jerry, it is unknown how many tens of thousands of years it would have been before the Life Tree revived again.
To be precise, as long as the Life Tree is not completely destroyed, sooner or later, a complete Life Tree can grow again.
And the Elf Race will also reappear along with the revival of the Life Tree.
For the Elf Race, as long as the Life Tree still exists in this world, they will never truly die.
However, the population of the Elf Clan is not large; at its peak, there were only three thousand.
The three thousand flower buds that grew on the Life Tree this time are the Elves who perished in the past being revived.
After all the Elves have revived, every hundred years, the Life Tree will gestate a new Elf.
It was the same in ancient times; it took a hundred years to give birth to one Elf, which is also the reason why the Elf Race has always had a small population despite their long lifespans.
The average lifespan of the Elf Race is around five thousand years; at the final moment of their lives, the Elves return to the Life Tree, and after a hundred years, they revive again.
However, when reviving, a new Elf will not be born.
Elf revival and Elf birth cannot happen at the same time.
One can imagine the amount of time it took to develop to three thousand Elves.
Giving birth to a new Elf every hundred years is only possible with the help of the Fairy Clan, which is why the Fairy Clan and the Elf Race have been friendly for generations.
"This is incredible!"
Elf Queen Luodi exclaimed directly upon seeing the three thousand flower buds on the Life Tree.
In her understanding, the Life Tree would only open one flower bud at a time, taking a hundred years to bloom, and then giving birth to a new Elf.
Even for Elf revival, it was the same situation; seeing three thousand flower buds all at once is why she shouted that it was incredible.
"Luodi, in the past, our understanding of plants was too limited, and we always relied on the plants' own Growth; it was Jerry who researched Infusion for the skill of Growth, and through Infusion, the growth speed of plants can be accelerated by tens of thousands of times."
"If I had learned Infusion back then, the Elf Race and the Fairy Clan would not have been so few in number."
The Fairy Queen said this with a hint of faint sorrow in her expression.
"Alison, those are all things of the past; although there are some regrets, isn't everything moving in a good direction now? Don't blame yourself; this is not your fault either. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame Jerry for appearing too late!"
This was a huge pot of blame being dumped directly onto Jerry's head for no reason.
"You two are reviewing the past and lamenting the present, which is fine, but don't dump the blame on me; I'm only twenty-something years old, and besides, I couldn't choose my own birth time."
Jerry did not want to take the blame and pushed the issue onto his birth time.
"Hmph, it's your fault; if you hadn't researched Infusion, I wouldn't have this regret, as I did my best back then."
After the Elf Queen revived, the Fairy Queen seemed to have become a bit more cheerful overall.
"Right, it's all your fault!"
"Hahahaha..."
After the Elf Queen chimed in, the two of them began to laugh heartily.
This is truly an unearned pot of blame!
