Chapter 2814: Revelation of the Spirit Spring

This time the angel didn't refuse Xia De. She raised her head slightly to look at the clear autumn sky, paused for a moment before saying:

"Although I was also in the material world when that great war happened, I was dealing with other things and didn't participate, nor did I witness it with my own eyes, so what you hear from me is not first-hand news."

"It doesn't matter, please speak."

The calm, transparent lake surface rippled with the pacing of the lady. She only moved two steps and stopped:

"That was one of the most dangerous things that happened in the era after the Ancient Gods left. The collapse of the World Tree caused the originally united and powerful Elf Empire to fall apart. The fanatics who refused to accept reality once broke out in rebellion within the Elf Empire."

"But this is of course not the most dangerous thing. The role of the World Tree in supporting the stability of the material world's time cannot be replaced by any other existence. Although the Tree Father had arranged for a backup, it still caused the material world to experience a period of extreme danger that has now completely no records."

Among them, the evil things born from the remains that fell to all parts of the material world were one of the manifestations of that danger."

She nodded to Xia De:

"Yes, of course there is more than one remain of the World Tree. You have never seen the appearance of the World Tree in its prime, so naturally you can't imagine how towering and huge the World Tree was when it existed in the material world... Are you surprised by this?"

She asked Xia De, and Xia De shook his head hurriedly;

"Please continue."

"Speaking of a digression, actually, haven't you already seen a remain of the World Tree? In the Fifth Era."

Xia De quickly recalled his 15 time adventure experiences so far:

"Have I?"

"Ash Valley - Strange Tree Academy. What do you think 'Strange Tree' means?"

Xia De took a deep breath:

"There is a remain of the World Tree in that academy?"

"No, the academy itself was built on the remains. The remains of the Strange Tree Academy were suppressed quite thoroughly. The academy existed since the First Era, but after that, it integrated itself with the remains. Relying on its power, the academy teachers can compress or expand the time flow, so that students can learn more efficiently."

"I know what you are thinking. No, the formation of the special space in the Ash Valley has nothing to do with the remains. The academy fell into it only after it was dilapidated. But I don't deny that the Strange Tree Academy didn't wither in the material world but appeared there, which is related to this."

"As for the remains, they have also disappeared with the collapse of the Strange Tree Academy. I just want to tell you that some remains were processed and utilized by the ancestors, while the remains in Vista Forest were sealed because they were too powerful."

She paused for a few seconds, giving Xia De time to digest this information:

"During the ancient war in the Second Era, only mortal demigods who were blessed and watched by the Old Gods were qualified to enter the front battlefield, because only they could barely face the enemy in the disordered time flow. However, fortunately, although the overall power of mortals in the current era has weakened, the power of the sealed tree is no longer as powerful as it was initially."

"So what did the ancestors rely on to defeat the opponent? Did they rely on stronger time power?"

Xia De asked, but the angel shook her head:

"In the early Second Era, except for a few Old Gods, no time power was stronger than the evil things born from the remains. They relied on earth, wind, water, and fire, or in other words, the world itself."

"Sorry, I don't quite understand."

"The supernatural power system of the material world has changed several times, and the angles from which mortals understand the world under different systems are also different. In the First Era and early Second Era, people recognized more that the world was composed of these four important elements of earth, wind, water, and fire. This basic element power theory can still find traces in the current era."

Besides moving objects, the basic spells of Ring Sorcerers are attacks like "fireball" and "wind blade." The basic elements mentioned here are earth, wind, water, and fire. It's just that the Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi system is quite huge and complicated, so except for low-ring sorcerers, basically no one mentions the saying of "basic elements."

"Earth, wind, water, and fire represent the world, so using the four elements to symbolize the power of the world can suppress that powerful evil thing. It's just that the material world is different from that year, so you don't need to try to imitate the ancestors' methods."

The angel reminded, and Xia De thought of the means by which evil things hide themselves today, whether it was related to the damage it had suffered during the ancient war.

However, since this was mentioned, Xia De asked the most important question:

"Since the Tree Father expected what would happen after He left, did He leave behind a method to deal with it... Is the method to deal with it an arrow?"

The angel looked at him with a smile, and sure enough, she didn't answer this question:

"There are actually many ways to deal with that tree now. If the nun beside you can make the initial fire more prosperous, she can completely liberate herself to burn that tree. Of course, this will also make the nun of this generation wither."

Xia De shook his head decisively:

"Since there are many methods, I will go find other methods."

"Then let me give you some small hints about the Chosen One ritual this time. This might make you make a choice that is more in line with your ideas at the end of this story. But before that, I want to talk to you about another thing. You have already seen that Old God in the Fifth Era, right?"

The angel asked again. Since she had already mentioned "Strange Tree Academy," Xia De also understood that she knew about this:

"Yes, the Guardian of Teachers 【Lord of the Black Robe】. He looks very kind, and even said he wanted to give us a lecture."

That 【Lord of the Black Robe】 was obviously related to the "Ancient God of Knowledge and Wisdom" 【Secret Keeper】, and the angel in front of him was the most important angel of that Ancient God. The two might have some connection.

"That's good, please accept this."

The pure white wings behind the wise angel holding the staff unfolded, and her empty right hand pointed toward Xia De.

So dozens of glowing white feathers drifted toward Xia De from the wings, but these white feathers were not physical, because Little Mia stretched out her claws to grab them but didn't grab them.

After the white feathers drifted into Xia De's body, the pure miracle elements stimulated his life ring to appear behind him. The life ring rotated under the clear sky and above the clear lake water. The four-ring enlightenment spiritual rune 【Water of Wisdom】 lit up with spiritual light, and Xia De also heard "Her" voice at this moment—

【Outsider, you have touched "Miracle."】

【Outsider, you have mastered the strange art - Revelation of the Spirit Spring. Point water drops at the brow of a humanoid creature, calm the mind, and enlighten wisdom. Corresponding to the 【Water of Wisdom】 spiritual rune.】

It was only ten o'clock on Wednesday morning, and Xia De already had two different strange arts:

"What do you want me to do?"

He asked, and the lady holding the staff who retracted her wings shook her head:

"Although you can influence time and space arbitrarily without causing time paradoxes, anyone who uses you is equivalent to trying to use the loopholes in time rules, so I don't ask you to do anything."

Xia De nodded and didn't ask much:

"Then about the Chosen One ritual of time, what do you want to remind me?"

"This world, in the end, still needs a World Tree."

She saw Xia De's eyes widen, but shook her head again:

"But it can also not need it. After all, no matter what, the end is coming. This is not something a World Tree can stop, otherwise the Ancient Gods wouldn't have needed to leave."

Xia De heard her implied meaning:

"You wouldn't be saying, no matter who becomes the Chosen One of time, they will become a new World Tree..."

The angel shook her head and didn't want to say more:

"The great prophecy composed of thirteen poems has now turned to the eighth page. The following stories will become more and more difficult."

"This not only refers to the enemies becoming more ancient and powerful, but also refers to more troubles that have not been solved in the ancient eras emerging. You, who have passed the test and obtained the title of Sage, may encounter some choices that must be faced... The end is coming, and the world is becoming strange to everyone."

"Wait a minute, I still want to ask, it wouldn't be that no matter who becomes the Chosen One of time, they will become a tree, right? I don't want Emilia to become a tree. I promised her to let her become the person she wants to be, I can't personally..."

"Calm down, a Sage will not give up thinking because of impulse."

She said softly, and the cat on her shoulder also worriedly let out a "Meow~". Xia De closed his eyes and took a deep breath, waved his hand to let a drop of water from under his feet fly up, and then pointed it at his brow.

He didn't feel any enlightenment of wisdom, but his anxious heart did calm down:

"The story I hate most is wanting to be good for the person I love, but not knowing that I am pushing her into the abyss step by step."

But thinking carefully, Luweiya had also become the Chosen One of time, but she had never said that she had once become a tree.

After adjusting his mood, he said again:

"Sorry, I think I was a bit out of control just now... About the Chosen One ritual this time, what else can you tell me?"

"The rest, you need to seek the answer yourself. But please be sure to remember, follow your own ideas to make decisions. After all, all of this is a story witnessed by you personally. This story will last until the end of time, so before reaching the end, don't leave yourself with regrets."

With a heavy heart, Xia De said goodbye to the lady in the lake. However, after he rode his horse back to the White River Valley Vineyard, he didn't go to Vista Forest immediately, but went home first.

It was drizzling in Tobesk City on Wednesday. Xia De, wearing a black coat, opened his umbrella under the eaves of his house with a "bang~", letting the water droplets falling from the eaves be bounced away, and then walked into the "City of Steam" in late autumn. ===== CHAPTER 2815 =====
