Chapter 166

According to August's strength in his lifetime.

Not to mention reaching levels eighty or ninety, he must have been at least sixty or seventy, right?

Jiang Li grew even more puzzled.

Even if

"Originally."

"All the elves, and even the Elf Queen, believed."

"August could lead the Elf race to its peak, even ascending to the position of a god."

"But."

"Until that war occurred."

At this moment.

The elf continued speaking.

Jiang Li's attention was immediately drawn over.

It seems his guess was correct.

The reason August fell to this state was that some incident occurred.

"I remember."

"This event happened when I was not yet a hundred years old."

"At that time, numerous evil monsters from the Abyss invaded the Elf Forest."

Jiang Li asked in confusion: "The Abyss?"

The elf nodded: "The Abyss... that is a world filled with slaughter, death, and darkness."

"The creatures within are naturally brutal, taking pleasure in conquering and slaughtering other worlds."

"Moreover."

"The Abyss possesses extreme corrosiveness; the power of darkness before the Abyss... is like an infant."

"The power of darkness can at most corrode living beings."

"But the Abyss can devour an entire world, bringing the whole world into the scope of the Abyss."

Hearing this, Jiang Li frowned tightly.

He remembered that in the history taught at school, the term "Abyss" had once appeared.

But it was merely mentioned in passing; the detailed situation was not elaborated upon.

Now hearing the elf's account.

Jiang Li immediately felt fear arise in his heart.

A world that takes pleasure in invading worlds and devouring worlds.

If it were to enter Blue Star...

That would undoubtedly be a disaster!

"And in this battle."

"Prince August fought bravely, slaying hundreds of thousands of Abyss monsters with his own strength."

"But because of this."

"He was noticed by the Abyss Commander."

"But the Abyss Commander did not attack him directly; instead, he targeted Prince August's daughter, namely Irene August... This is the cruelty of the Abyss monsters; they like to see enemies and targets in endless despair and pain."

"The Abyss Commander released a legendary-level curse skill upon Princess Irene, which would cause the life force within her body to be consumed rapidly at a speed dozens or even hundreds of times faster, and it could not be replenished through conventional means."

"Even though the average lifespan of our Elf race is over a thousand years, we cannot withstand such a terrifying curse skill; under the erosion of the curse, Princess Irene has at most ten years of life remaining."

"Thus, Prince August and the Elf Queen could only choose to seal away Princess Irene, thereby slowing the flow of life force within her body."

"Finally."

"This war ended with a pyrrhic victory for us elves."

"Although we drove back the Abyss monsters, the entire Elf Forest and the elves suffered great damage."

"Even the Mother Tree of Life fell into slumber."

"And after this."

"Prince August left the Elf Forest alone to seek a method to remove the curse."

Having spoken thus.

The elf paused for a while.

Taking a short rest, also giving Jiang Li some time to react and recover.

"And then what?"

"How did he become a lich?" Jiang Li asked again after calming down for a moment.

"Later..."

"I only heard rumors."

"Prince August seemed to have found a method to remove the curse; it required the power of miracles born between life and death. Only this power of miracles could remove the curse."

Hearing this.

Jiang Li's heart stirred.

The miracle born between life and death... could that not be the pendant August gave him?

"But I was not clear on the specific method at that time."

"I only knew that this method was opposed by the Elf Queen and all the Elf elders at that time."

"Facing such a situation, Prince August did not compromise; instead, he resolutely left."

"Later on."

"I never heard anything about Prince Augustus again."

The elf's tone was somewhat heavy.

She glanced at Jiang Li and the Wind of Nature in his hand: "It seems now that the method Prince Augustus found must have been to become a lich, turning from the extreme of life into the extreme of death."

Then.

The elf hesitated for a moment.

Still, she gritted her teeth and asked, "Can you tell me... did Prince Augustus succeed?"

Jiang Li, still immersed in his speech, was stunned; he saw the expectation and hope in the elf's eyes...

Although Prince Augustus had become a lich for his daughter's sake.

In the elf's heart, he still seemed to be that noble and powerful elf prince.

Therefore, she desperately hoped that Prince Augustus would succeed in finding a way to lift the curse.
