Do you know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raven's voice sounded a bit frantic, urgently pushing Loren on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, promise her! Quick! Those are extremely precious things!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I saw related material during my study of Ancient Orcish Script!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Tree of Life, once fully grown, is called the World Tree!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although it is extraordinarily difficult for a Tree of Life to grow into a World Tree...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the Spring of Life! It not only nourishes the Tree of Life! It can heal wounds in every sense!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you obtain the Spring of Life, you are almost immortal!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover! If someone without injuries soaks in the Spring of Life, their body will be greatly enhanced!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ordinary people who drink from it will remain forever youthful!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Most importantly! The Spring of Life, as long as you don't use it up at once, can slowly regenerate over time by absorbing natural elements from the Star Realm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Spring of Life is known as a spring that never runs dry!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Raven's explanation about the Tree of Life and the Spring of Life, Loren was not carried away by the exaggerated claims. Instead, a question immediately surfaced in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why didn't the dying Ms. Carnina use the Spring of Life?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought, Loren looked up and stared at the weak figure on the sickbed, then suddenly asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ms. Carnina, I have two questions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First question: I know the effects of the Spring of Life. Why haven't you used it to heal yourself?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaning half against the bed, Carnina’s cloudy eyes flashed with a terrifying light when she heard Loren didn't immediately refuse her. From her many years of experience and Loren's reaction, she could sense the implication behind his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There might be hope! This Mr. Loren in front of her really might have the confidence to wipe out the Ferros Family!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Twenty years ago, after she died, I was diagnosed with major depression.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nineteen years ago, a year after her death, when I returned to work, I was diagnosed with both severe mania and severe depression.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I once met a fairly famous Federation psychologist—Annie Bell. Her treatment suggestion was that I forget that beautiful time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I refused. It was precious to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Over the years, I have thought of her every moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am already so tired. I have endured for a long time. Death, to me, is a release...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening to Carnina's response from the sickbed, Loren nodded imperceptibly and then asked his second question:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then the second question. How did the elf race fall to the point of near extinction, and why would a half-blood like you know the location of the elves' heritage site?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Loren’s second question, Carnina sighed inwardly before speaking slowly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The downfall of the elves originated from a war many years ago that swept through the Beastkin Star Domain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At that time, the Beastkin Star Domain was not yet Federation territory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Abyssal Demon Lords launched an interplanar war against the Beastkin Star Domain...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The impact of that war was huge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The elves were almost annihilated in the latter stages of the war.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pureblood elves disappeared completely. Those who remained were our ancestors—half-elves born of unions with humans.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Any pureblood elves scattered throughout the Star Realm all hid in their own ways.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There may still be pureblood elves in the Land of the Gods. Rumor says the Nature Sect and the Rangers' Guild took in some pureblood elves, but that's about it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The orcish people were also utterly crippled by that war; their lineage declined by more than half...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Several deities of the elf race also perished in that battle...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Near the end of that war, the Federation joined. The Federation’s condition was that the Beastkin Star Domain join the Federation and become, in name, Federation territory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was also then that the Empire's 'God of Gods' emerged from the Empire and went to the Nine Hells, demonstrating His supreme might...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He exiled the entire devil clan, locking all the devils into the Abyss...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From then on, the Abyssal Demon Lords' war with the Beastkin Star Domain was completely over...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for why a half-blood like me knows the location of the heritage site: my ancestor was one of the guardians of that site and passed the secret down...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Carnina on the sickbed sighed deeply again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being older, she already understood that the elves could never return to their former glory...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That vast elven empire would never come back...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A race that once possessed gods, after being nearly wiped out, would face too many obstacles to rise again...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, pureblood elves have an extremely low birthrate...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loren, across from her, fell silent for a long time after hearing this string of secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he quietly took a Federation Coin from his pocket and tossed it into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time he mouthed a sentence in his mind:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is everything she told me tonight true? If yes, heads!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The coin fell, heads!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What she said was true!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the coin's faces between his fingertips, Loren mouthed a second question in his mind:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do the Tree of Life and the Spring of Life really exist? If yes, heads.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The coin fell, heads!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They really exist!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After obtaining those answers by coin, Loren pocketed the coin and slowly spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I accept the second commission, Ms. Carnina.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carnina on the bed saw that Loren agreed after flipping the coin twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She watched thoughtfully—some kind of lie-detecting ability?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, weakly, she took a scroll with blood-red patterns from the spatial ring on her hand and handed it to Loren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, Mr. Loren, please sign this contract, and I will tell you the location of the heritage site...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loren did not take the eerie-looking scroll by hand. With a suspicion in his heart, he calmly asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of contract is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1024,"2026-06-03T08:20:31.242Z","2026-06-03T08:20:39.947Z",1,"novelbin.me","86ce866fe38122ed08020a5acf9668237707fdcf1aac494d6976a7fcfce7b340","i-just-wanted-to-be-a-galactic-hunter-why-am-i-o-chapter-247","i-just-wanted-to-be-a-galactic-hunter-why-am-i-o-chapter-245",388,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-just-wanted-to-be-a-galactic-hunter-why-am-i-o-cover.jpg"]
