Chapter 529: Festival! Mengying Sends Congratulations! Princess Chenxi Ascends the Throne!

"Angest…"

Perhaps because she had recalled it for too long in the palace, Ophelia's emotions had calmed upon hearing the name.

Rebecca said: "Yes, Queen, she has sunk into darkness too long; even my god has no good solution. I prayed for her, but my god gave no clear response."

Ophelia shook her head and said: "No, my god abandoned her long ago—back then, she already touched the Dark Rule. Nearly a thousand years have passed; her mastery of the Dark Rule is likely profound. To return to the light is nearly impossible."

Rebecca fell silent at these words.

Ophelia sighed.

"Let's speak of it when we reach the City of Holy Light. They've arrived, Rebecca. These days are the Festival of Holy Flame Forest—set this aside. We are guests; don't dampen the host's joy."

After speaking, Ophelia's face showed no trace of emotion.

In the distance, a flying ship approached, its deck crowded with elves.

"Are you the Lady of Light from Loki Forest?"

On the flying ship, an elf asked politely.

Ophelia nodded and said: "It is I!"

The elf smiled: "Lady of Light, we have come here specifically to await you. Please follow us—we will guide you to the City of Holy Light."

Ophelia said: "Thank you for your trouble."

The elf said: "It is an honor to guide you!"

The Holy Flame Forest's flying ship led the way, the Loki Forest's flying ship followed behind, one ahead, one behind, flying toward the City of Holy Light.

Rebecca no longer spoke of Angest, instead focusing intently on the Holy Flame Forest below.

All the elves had gone to the City of Holy Light, so no elves were visible in this region of the Holy Flame Forest.

But traces of elf habitation could already be seen in some forests.

This indicated that within just a few months, the Holy Flame Forest had completed not only First Rank reclamation, but also Second Rank reclamation.

At the front of the flying ship, Ophelia stood there, gazing down at the Holy Flame Forest below.

Her gaze was calm, yet profound—no one knew what she was thinking.

At the other end of the flying ship, Ophelia's several students stood there too; their astonished voices occasionally broke the silence.

More than two hours later, a massive World Tree appeared in view.

This World Tree was naturally smaller than the one in Loki Forest.

The World Tree in Loki Forest had grown for over a thousand years and was nearly a kilometer tall.

This World Tree had only grown for two months.

Yet, this World Tree was far taller than the one in Loki Forest had been when first planted!

Ophelia's students, these young elves, gazed at the World Tree of the City of Holy Light and could not help but exclaim in awe.

"They say this World Tree received only four divine blessings, yet even the blessing of the Lord of Flame alone raised it to two hundred meters—taller than when our own World Tree was planted over a thousand years ago, blessed by two dozen gods."

One young elf said in amazement.

"Yes, the other two gods were generous too."

Another young elf said.

"Of course—when the Lord of Flame is so generous, how could the others be stingy…"

The young elves continued their chatter.

"Queen, please follow me—there is a dedicated docking port this way."

The guiding elf said.

The docking port for flying ships was on a spacious platform in a canyon, where over a dozen flying ships were moored, including two over two hundred meters in length.

"Wow, how do they have so many flying ships?"

The elves exclaimed again.

"It seems the Lord of Flame must have other realms too," Rebecca said.

After the flying ship landed, Ophelia stepped down, followed by Rebecca, several elders, and her students.

Princess Chenxi had already come to greet them.

"Welcome, Lady of Light," Princess Chenxi said warmly.

Ophelia smiled: "I'm honored to attend your festival. We've brought too many people—have we caused you trouble?"

She meant the elves of Loki Forest.

More than half the Loki elves had come; even as guests, Ophelia felt slightly embarrassed.

Princess Chenxi shook her head: "How could that be? Festivals grow more joyous with more guests. We welcome them with open arms."

Behind Ophelia, Rebecca studied Princess Chenxi, wondering how someone under a hundred years old had become a legend in such a short time.

After all, she herself was not yet a legend—only a Banished Spell-level cultivator.

After much thought, Rebecca concluded there was only one possibility: the Lord of Flame.

Princess Chenxi's rapid power growth was impossible without divine aid.

And the Lord of Flame possessed such ability—its power once again filled Rebecca with quiet awe.

"Lady of Light, it's been a long time."

And the Lord of Flames possessed this ability, its power once again deeply moved and shocked Rebecca in silence!

Ophelia studied Lomina—on her, not a trace of abyssal evil remained.

"Congratulations, Lomina. You've finally shaken off evil and curse."

Ophelia studied Lomina, and on Lomina's person, not a trace of the Abyss's evil power remained.

"Congratulations, Lomina, you have finally freed yourself from evil and curses."

said Ophelia.

Lomina recalled the past and said, "Your Majesty, I disappointed you back then."

Twenty years ago, the capacity of the Loki Forest was nearly full, so a relatively fair method was used to decide which tribe would be the last to enter the Loki Forest.

The Night Elves, through Lomina's sacrifice to the God of Darkness, had once entered the Loki Forest and lived there for a short time.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last.

The power granted by the Abyssal Demon God was never easy to obtain.

The God of Darkness deliberately exposed the Night Elves, hoping to drive them into a Dead End and lure them into complete descent into the Abyss—but her calculations were wrong; the Night Elves were far stronger than she imagined!

Ophelia gently shook her head: "It's nothing serious to take a wrong path now and then; as long as you found your way out, Lomina, you are fortunate."

Lomina made a reverent prayer gesture and said, "Yes, Queen of Light, I was fortunate to meet my God."

After some polite exchanges, Chenxi and Lomina led Ophelia into the City of Holy Light.

Ophelia took up residence in a dedicated palace, and every day Lomina would come to keep her company for a while.

Lomina was slightly younger than Ophelia, but they could be considered people of the same era, while Chenxi was far too young—unbelievably so.

Thus, it was better that Lomina handled Ophelia's hospitality.

Ophelia did not mention her sister; these days were the people's celebration, and the Night Elves were busy from morning till night—even Chenxi was occupied daily, nowhere to be seen. Now was not the time to bring it up…

Yet Ophelia developed considerable interest in the Lord of Flame.

Lomina did not conceal anything from her, recounting every detail of how the Lord of Flame had aided the Night Elves.

Meanwhile, Chenxi was still arranging the celebration.

There were too many Elves in the City of Holy Light now.

Of course, it was not crowded.

The City of Holy Light was not a human city.

The Elves' buildings were spaced far apart, with great distances between them, and countless Elves still dwelled within the forest.
