Chapter 199

Jiang Li suddenly remembered something else: when Augustus died, he had also left behind a seed, seemingly called the Seed of Life, but according to the Detection Spell at the time, there was no clear method to revive it.

"Perfect, I'll just ask Fiona."

Jiang Li shifted his thoughts.

He rummaged through his backpack and finally found that dim, dull-gray seed in a corner.

"Fiona, take a look at this."

Jiang Li took out Augustus's Seed of Life and handed it to Elder Fiona before him.

"Hmm?"

Fiona fixed her gaze on it.

A hint of confusion immediately appeared on her face.

But immediately, her eyes showed a distinct change; she looked up at Jiang Li and asked, unable to hide her surprise, "Could this be... the Seed of Life left behind by Augustus?"

"That's right."

"After I defeated Augustus, who was a lich, his body turned to ash; the only thing remaining was this gray-white Seed of Life..." Jiang Li nodded and described the situation in detail: "However, I checked with the Detection Spell and found that this Seed of Life seems to be in a state where it cannot be revived."

Hearing this.

Fiona's expression changed slightly.

She didn't say much; she reached out and took the Seed of Life, first examining it closely with her eyes, then clasping her hands together with the Seed of Life placed in between, closing her eyes as if sensing something.

"Hum."

A glowing green aura appeared in Fiona's hands.

After a while, the aura gradually faded, and Fiona slowly opened her eyes.

"Huff..."

Jiang Li noticed that at this moment, Fiona's expression became incredibly heavy.

"Augustus's Seed of Life seems to have been eroded by death power for too long, almost losing all its vitality and life force..." Fiona let out a long breath.

She said in a deep voice:

"We elves are originally born from the Mother Tree of the Elves, gradually swelling from a fruit, then condensing a body from within the fruit; when the fruit ripens, it means gestation is complete, so, essentially, we are all just a fruit."

"And after death, we can condense all our life force into a Seed of Life, which contains our soul, spirit, and memories; if the Seed of Life can be replanted under the Mother Tree's canopy, it can be revived and grow again."

"This is also our elves' final means of survival."

"But if the vitality and life force within the seed completely dissipate... that means it is a dead seed, which implies that even if returned to the Mother Tree, it cannot be revived."

Jiang Li listened silently.

He roughly understood.

Actually, what Fiona said was much the same as the situation he had understood before.

However.

He was still curious and concerned about the last sentence in the Detection Spell.
