Chapter 212: The Past of the Night Elf Clan!

After Princess Chenxi extended her arm into the flames, the fire engulfed her arm.

Then, the flames spread up her arm and completely submerged her entire body!

This scene appeared extraordinarily shocking.

Her entire body was covered in flames!

Yet the flames, capable of burning a Seventh-Rank Spider Lord to death, did not injure Princess Chenxi.

Not even her clothing was burned!

This utterly unnatural, physics-defying event had truly occurred!

This is the World of the Gods!

Here, the laws of the Gods prevail!

The power of the Gods can utterly transcend common physical laws!

Within the flames, Princess Chenxi felt strange.

Though the temperature was extremely high, she felt no heat.

Then, she felt the flames penetrate her clothing and sink deep into her skin.

A faint blush appeared on Princess Chenxi's face.

For if this were the flame bestowed by the Great Flame Lord, such intimate contact meant every secret within her—from inside to outside—would be laid bare before the Flame Lord.

Heaven be merciful, the Night Elves were entirely female, with not a single male among them; she had never even been within ten meters of a man!

Yet after that slight blush, Princess Chenxi grew calm.

She was already the Holy Maiden of the Great Flame Lord.

Her body and soul belonged to the Flame Lord.

Even if she later entered the Divine Realm, should the Flame Lord require her service, she would not hesitate for a moment!

"The Curse of the God of Darkness?"

Lin Yan gazed at the Virtual Divine Core.

The Virtual Divine Core functioned like a supercomputer, scanning several of Princess Chenxi's bodily states.

Lin Yan had covered her entire body in flames precisely to lift the Curse of the God of Darkness.

Having accepted Princess Chenxi, Lin Yan would naturally resolve the problems of her people.

Once Princess Chenxi's issue was resolved,

upon returning to the Night Elves, all she needed to do was have her people pray sincerely to Lin Yan, and he would bestow flame—sufficient to solve every problem of the Night Elf clan.

Thus, Lin Yan needed to first understand Princess Chenxi's condition.

After several minutes, Lin Yan had nearly figured it out!

The Curse of the God of Darkness was far more severe than the Night Elves had imagined.

According to their previous methods, not even the heart's blood of a Sixth-Rank Abyss Lord

could lift the Curse of the God of Darkness—let alone that of a Seventh or Eighth-Rank Abyss Lord.

The Curse of the God of Darkness did not merely prevent the Night Elves from appearing in daylight, confining them only to night or underground realms.

This curse also sealed off the Night Elves' path to godhood.

Simply put, should Princess Chenxi ascend just two or three ranks, the God of Darkness would sense her—and she would die inexplicably, her soul seized by the God of Darkness!

"What on earth did the Night Elves do to enrage this damned God of Darkness so badly?"

Lin Yan was startled.

For Lin Yan, lifting this curse was not difficult.

His flames precisely counteracted the Curse of the God of Darkness.

But it would require some time.

For the curse afflicted not only the body but also the soul.

Lin Yan had to ensure his flames did not scorch Princess Chenxi's soul.

Souls must be handled with care.

If it were an enemy, such caution would be unnecessary.

But Princess Chenxi was now his Holy Maiden—Lin Yan would naturally be meticulous.

Then, Lin Yan also sought a way to lift the curse quickly.

Otherwise, with tens of thousands of Night Elves, he did not wish each one's curse to take months to remove.

Time passed slowly.

Under Lin Yan's guidance, Princess Chenxi slowly recounted how her people had offended the God of Darkness.

It had happened nearly twenty years ago.

It was during the last opening of the Abyssal Rift!

The Night Elves were called "Night Elves" not because they could appear only at night.

But because they worshipped the Moon Goddess.

By day, they could appear as well—but at night, they drew the greatest power.

North of their forest lay the famed "Forest of Life," the Loki Forest.

Within the Loki Forest stood a powerful Elf Empire.

All nearby elf tribes sought entry into the Loki Forest.

But the forest's elf population was already dense, nearly saturated.

The Elf Empire had not sealed off access entirely; it intended to grant entry to the strongest elf tribe.

The Night Elves were not particularly powerful, and becoming so in a short time was extremely difficult.

No one knew what the Night Elf Queen was thinking—to enter the Loki Forest, she actually sought help from the God of Darkness.

The God of Darkness bestowed powerful strength upon the Night Elf clan.

Because the God of Darkness's power was very well disguised, ordinary Night Elves still believed that power was a gift from the Moon God!

The Night Elf clan smoothly passed the Elf Empire's test and, overjoyed, prepared to move into the Loki Forest.

Then the Moon God discovered their betrayal, and what awaited the Night Elf clan was the Moon God's abandonment!

And then, expulsion from the Elf Empire!

The ordinary Night Elves realized they had been deceived and one after another demanded to return to the Moon God's embrace.

This naturally enraged the God of Darkness.

And so, the curse descended!

Moreover, the Moon God no longer answered them!

The matter was simple, and the whole process was not too far beyond Lin Yan's expectations.

Mm, the Night Elf Queen of that time was still Princess Chenxi's "mother."

Elves are all born from the Tree of Life, so there is no father, and the meaning of "mother" is also very simple.

Princess Chenxi was not born from the Night Elf Queen.

Rather, when the Tree of Life was nurturing Princess Chenxi, the Night Elf Queen infused some of her own life energy, so that after Princess Chenxi was born, her magical talent would be higher, she would be more beautiful, and even more outstanding.

This was equivalent to giving Princess Chenxi a very high starting point!

Therefore, the Night Elf Queen was also equivalent to Princess Chenxi's "mother."

That is why she is called Princess Chenxi!

"Mother herself didn't know what came over her back then, why she would make such a choice. I think perhaps the God of Darkness had long had his eye on her."

Princess Chenxi said with emotion.

Although the Lord of Flame barely responded to her narration, when speaking of the past, she still had a strong desire to pour it out.

And in fact, she was usually silent and taciturn most of the time!

She had never, like now, said so much to a person—no, a god!

Although the Lord of Flame had the pride of a god, and even seemed cold and aloof in Princess Chenxi's eyes, for some reason she just felt that the Lord of Flame gave her a sense of closeness, and even confiding in the Lord of Flame continuously brought her not the slightest weariness!
