Chapter 474
Of course, if ever, just in case, an irreversible situation arises and a full migration is needed, the Life Tree can still exhaust all its energy to split into many seeds.
Princess Chenxi gathered all the Life Tree seeds from every tribe.
Then she murmured incantations under her breath.
With her words, these Life Tree seeds merged into one, forming a single large Life Tree seed.
Seeing this, the surrounding elves all smiled.
This meant that all the elf tribes would now officially unite.
They would have a single unified name: Holy Flame Elves!
Although some elves might still be unfamiliar with the new name in the short term, over time they would fully adapt to it.
Princess Chenxi carefully cradled the Life Tree seed and walked to the edge of the pit.
To all elves, the Life Tree was like a mother.
Princess Chenxi naturally cherished it deeply.
With magic, she guided the seed down to the bottom of the pit.
"Come together!"
Princess Chenxi invited.
Immediately, several of the original elf chieftains stepped to the pit's edge, cupped soil in their hands, and filled the pit.
After filling it, they cleansed their hands with magic and began singing hymns together.
Around them, three hundred thousand elves sang hymns as well!
This was the first step all elves took in planting the Life Tree: praying to the Goddess of Life.
The creator of the Life Tree was the Goddess of Life.
One could say the Goddess of Life created the elf race.
Though the Goddess of Life was now a powerful Primordial Deity who rarely turned her gaze to the Continent of Gods and showed no concern for the elves' faith, she was still deeply loved by all elves.
And even though she was a powerful Primordial Deity, whenever a Life Tree was planted, if the elves sang the special hymn, she would always bestow a blessing upon that Life Tree—only then could the Life Tree grow properly!
As the elves sang, a tender sprout broke through the ground.
It rapidly grew into a small tree taller than a person!
The small tree continued growing; soon it reached five or six meters in height.
Its leaves were emerald green, and the entire tree seemed suffused with a sacred radiance!
The Goddess of Life had already bestowed her blessing.
This was the Goddess of Life: as a Primordial Deity, she did not make grand displays when bestowing blessings—she quietly granted them, causing the Life Tree to sprout and grow swiftly.
When the Life Tree reached twenty meters in height, its growth finally stopped.
Immediately after, under Princess Chenxi's lead, three hundred thousand elves sang hymns again!
This hymn was sung to the Great Lord of Flame!
In truth, if the elves' faith had not been unified, some elf tribes who worshipped other deities would have sung their hymns to those deities instead.
The Goddess of Life did not care about the elves' faith; for the most part, she was merely a background presence, and only when a Life Tree was planted did one truly feel her existence.
But during ordinary times, due to the efforts of the elf-line goddesses, elves also worshipped many elf-line goddesses.
Thus, the first step in planting the Life Tree was to pray to the Goddess of Life.
The second step was to pray to one's own worshipped deity.
The deity they worshipped would also bestow a blessing, helping the Life Tree grow taller and larger.
When the Life Tree was planted in the Loki Forest, so many elf tribes had joined that day that twenty or more deities bestowed blessings.
These deities' blessings varied in quantity.
At that time, the Goddess of Light, as the deity of the largest tribe, bestowed the greatest blessing!
But this time, the three hundred thousand elves sang their hymns only to the Lord of Flame, one elf goddess, and another goddess of the Sun Elf tribe.
"The opportunity has come."
Above the canyon, the Elf Goddess saw this scene and felt her chance had finally arrived.
Because the Lord of Flame would surely turn his gaze—even send down his consciousness.
Bestowing a blessing upon a Life Tree was no simple task.
Because the Life Tree required very specific energy—it could not be done carelessly!
If it went wrong, the elves' faith could vanish instantly.
Therefore, the deity bestowing the blessing must first understand the Life Tree's condition before granting it!
How could one understand the Life Tree's condition without sending down consciousness?
This was the Elf Goddess's opportunity!
Of course, among the Greenland Elves, under the chieftain's arrangement, a few elves had also sung hymns to her, which moved the Elf Goddess deeply.
It made her feel the Greenland Elves had not abandoned her!
So the Elf Goddess decided to bestow a blessing as well.
Just to communicate with the Lord of Flame's consciousness.
