Chapter 788

But they were actually twins, the same age, she was just born first.

After learning of the Eternal Night Goddess's plan, Tina would always try to persuade her whenever they communicated.

But today, Tina offered no persuasion at all, and her expression was calm.

This was precisely what puzzled the Eternal Night Goddess.

Still, since Tina said nothing, the Eternal Night Goddess did not speculate further.

She had many other things to do.

In the sky, Angest flew swiftly.

She flew high, above the cloud layer.

Without cloud cover, the sunlight became especially intense.

The bright sunlight struck her body, filling Angest with a faint warmth.

It also made her feel comfortable.

Angest's mood was good.

In the past, even though she flew daily out of the dark substance's coverage to bask in the sun, back then she yearned for light while her body rejected it.

Sunlight would harm her, though the harm was minimal.

But her body still rejected sunlight.

Now, however, she could freely enjoy the sun's rays.

This was something she had never dared imagine in over a thousand years past.

So Angest did not fly fast.

Though slow, after several days, the towering Loki Mountains still appeared before her.

Beyond the Loki Mountains lay the elves' dwelling place.

Angest flew toward it.

The Loki Mountains were extremely tall.

Not only tall, but also treacherous.

One could say even monkeys could not cross them.

In the Loki Mountains, ordinary beasts could not survive; only stronger demonic beasts lived here.

Angest soon flew above the Loki Mountains and looked down, seeing the thousand-meter-high thick ice wall.

That was also the work of the Lord of Flame.

Now, this ice wall continued to thicken.

More and more ice clung to its outer shell.

The presence of this ice wall turned the surrounding hundred-li area into a frozen wasteland.

All trees were covered in thick snow.

These trees had once been cultivated by elves, their vitality strong, so they had not yet died.

The ability to create such an ice wall shows the Lord of Flame had deep mastery over ice rules.

She simultaneously mastered both fire and ice—opposing rules—and also the rule of destruction.

Even as the Lord of Flame's Holy Maiden, Angest could not help but wonder: what kind of deity was her god?

She even felt an impulse to ascend to godhood right now and meet the Lord of Flame.

But Angest would not ascend to godhood now.

Moreover, she did not know whether, if she ascended now, she would go to To the Heavenly Realm—or somewhere else?

Angest quickly flew over the ice wall and crossed the Loki Mountains.

Behind the Loki Mountains were two forests, two elf empires.

Angest flew toward the Loki Elf Empire.

She flew high, and no elf noticed her.

Only when she reached the sky above Ducheng, the capital of the Loki Elf Empire, did the sky guards spot her.

"This is the capital of the Loki Elf Empire. May I ask who you are…?"

A young winged elf did not recognize Angest.

Strictly speaking, among the Loki Elf Empire, more than half the elves—aside from the Light Elves—did not know Angest.

Angest said: "I am Angest. Tell Olivia this name—she will know."

The young winged elf, hearing Angest address the Light Queen by name, felt slight displeasure, but did not show it.

She said: "Please wait."

The young winged elf flew down.

At that moment, in Ducheng, Queen Olivia of Light was bestowing blessings upon newborn elves in the Flower Square beneath the Life Tree.

Elf population was scarce; new elves born each year were few.

The number of new elves depended on the strength of the Life Tree.

And the strength of the Life Tree often depended on the size of the forest.

A too-small forest could not grow a large Life Tree.

This was not because the Life Tree absorbed nutrients from those trees.

On the contrary, the Life Tree and the forest were mutually supportive.

The larger the forest, the higher the Life Tree's potential growth.

And the larger the Life Tree, the more it nourished the entire forest, making the whole forest flourish even more.

The winged elf landed outside the Flower Square, then walked in.

"The Queen is currently blessing the newborn elves. Please wait a moment."

On the Flower Plaza, two elf guards said to the winged elf.

"It's fine. If you have something to report, just say it directly."

Olivia's calm voice rang out.

The young winged elf said, "My Queen, there is an elf named Angst who requests an audience."

Olivia's body instantly stiffened!

Angst!

These four characters had been the bane of her heart for the past thousand years.

Back then, Olivia had been wounded by a dark creature that had just ascended to the Holy Domain using a dark rule. For a thousand years her injury had never healed, and this was largely connected to the bane in her heart.

And recently, because Olivia was worried about Angst, after receiving the promised help from Princess Chenxi and Lomina, she had searched for Angst in the Dark Forest for several whole months, yet still hadn't found Angst!

She hadn't expected that, just as she returned to Loki Forest to bestow blessings upon the newborn elves, Angst would appear!

"Angst."

Olivia repeated those four characters once, then asked the winged elf:

"Ross, you didn't mishear, did you?"

Yes, Olivia could hardly believe it, so she needed to confirm once more.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Olivia simply didn't dare to hold too much hope.

The young winged elf said, "Yes, my Queen, I did not mishear."

Only then did Olivia take a deep breath, and then flew up into the sky.

After she flew up to an altitude of several thousand meters, she saw from afar, high above, a figure of matchless grace and beauty standing there.

When she saw that familiar yet strange face, Olivia froze on the spot!

That face belonged precisely to Angst!

For a moment, Olivia could hardly believe her own eyes.

Angst had actually appeared!

And had actually taken the initiative to come back and find her!

One had to know that, over the past thousand years, Olivia had contacted Angst countless times, but Angst had never given any response at all.

Therefore, when these two sisters reunited after a thousand years, Olivia's first reaction was neither shock nor joy, but complete stupefaction!

"Oh heavens, Angst, it's really you!"

At this moment, Rebecca's voice rang out.

Elf Elder Rebecca had also come!
