Chapter 401: The Pitiful Elf Goddess

After the number of cultivated elves reached three hundred thousand, a few more days passed, and Chenxi returned with the last two elf tribes.

Thus, the number of elves cultivating the Dark Forest reached more than three hundred fifty thousand.

These three hundred fifty thousand elves were all the elves remaining around the Loki Forest.

"Mother, I've sent messengers to invite the elves still scattered in small forests across the continent; if all goes well, within a few years, the number of elves in Sacred Flame Forest will also reach a million."

Chenxi said to Lomina.

Lomina nodded and said, "Chenxi, so much has already been cultivated; you can let the newly arrived elves begin planting vegetation."

Chenxi said, "Yes, planting can begin."

The cultivation of the Dark Forest began with dispersing the Dark Matter.

The second step was to plant special magical plants.

Once these plants grew, they would further improve the environment of the Dark Forest, truly transforming it into Sacred Flame Forest.

These plants also served as the elves' eyes and ears throughout the forest, and there were many varieties, providing the elves with food, fruit, drinks, and more.

The longbows they used were crafted from a special plant.

Moreover, the clothes they wore were woven from components extracted from a magical plant.

In short, everything the elves needed came from the forest.

Of course, the most important thing was to plant the Seed of the Tree of Life—but this must wait until the entire Sacred Flame Forest was fully formed.

The Tree of Life must be planted at the very center of Sacred Flame Forest to grant it protection.

The Tree of Life could do more than merely nurture elves; most importantly, it could bring the entire forest fully "alive," becoming the elves' new homeland!

Additionally, ancient trees with exceptional defensive power must be planted around the perimeter of the Dark Forest.

With these ancient trees in place, enemies could never enter Sacred Flame Forest from the ground.

As for the sky, elves guarded it—no enemy could slip in.

Even if a powerful enemy somehow slipped through, they would be detected.

Thus, the fifty thousand newly arrived elves began planting ancient trees along the edges of Sacred Flame Forest.

Chenxi did not define the boundary of Sacred Flame Forest at the original cultivation line; instead, she extended it one hundred kilometers westward to establish the boundary.
