Chapter 3037: Final Choice

The wind seemed to be smaller, so snowflakes fell slowly in the sand and dust. At this moment, although Xia De knew that he was about to face the final secret, under that full yellow moon, his mood was unexpectedly very calm.

The headless "corpse" on the throne directly in front was motionless, but faint emerald green light emerged from the corpse. The light gathered in front of the throne and fell in front of Xia De and Luweiya.

So the old Professor Yuk Wood in normal human form appeared in front of people, with his back to the throne and his face to the people.

At this moment, the old man no longer had the oppression and sacredness when he sat on the throne. He was as fragile as the old professor Xia De first met.

People, although they didn't dare to directly observe what was beside the "God-Caller," could see the old man appearing in the light. The ring warlocks were agitated, not knowing what was going on, but Xia De knew this was not the beginning of a new battle.

The witches were closest to Xia De, watching the mysterious girl seem to be hooking his finger, which made the witches who knew Xia De's situation suspect her identity.

But this was not a very important matter. The long-haired girl knew her task—to assist Xia De in defeating the Ancient One—had been completed. She just wanted to spend as much time as possible with her lover while the effect of the middle-ring sublimation words had not yet ended.

Even Adele's hostile gaze from behind didn't matter to Luweiya at all.

The old professor looked at Xia De and sighed long, but what he said was not what Xia De thought:

"What do you think of Thomas Bennett, who entered the disordered time again?"

"No one fits the description of 'pawn' better than him. So, was it you who sold him to that thing in the sea?"

Xia De didn't know why he asked this question, but he still answered.

The white-haired old man nodded lightly:

"I don't care about those who work for me, it's just that the Bennett family has been raised by me as pigeons for too long. If not handled properly after I leave, the Bennett family will become more troublesome than paradox insects."

"So I must deal with the last owner of the time transit station before leaving, completely ending the inheritance of the transit station. The knife used to deal with problems cannot become a new problem. So, letting that lady collect him is the best choice."

The witches listened suspiciously to his words, and the ring warlocks present also felt that this conversation was a bit strange.

"They have made significant contributions to me, and I have let them be wealthy for generations, which is not treating them unfairly."

He didn't mention Bennett's remaining three daughters. After a moment of silence, his gaze moved to the elf behind Xia De:

"The Battle of Time, I lost."

"Emilia Siamonode, elf of Moon Creek, I acknowledge with the last wreckage of the World Tree, in the name of Yggdrasil: you have won the Battle of Time, and you are the Chosen One of Time."

Emerald green light drifted from his whole body, not just the back of his hand, to the back of Emilia's hand. Xia De also noticed the disappearance of the little elf just now. He knew that the Great Elf and the Little Elf were the same person, but he still regretted that he would never see Emilia's cute appearance again.

【It will make you wish come true.】

"What?"

The transfer of power was not completed immediately. The drifting light looked like it would take a while to disappear, so Xia De looked at the headless "corpse" on the throne behind the old man:

"Although I have asked many times—can you really not continue to sit on that chair?"

The old man looked at the long-haired diviner beside him, found that she didn't want to speak, and then answered:

"If I could continue to sit on that chair, how could the time order of Vistalin Woodland and even the material world be corrupted to this extent?"

Not only Xia De, but most people understood, and also knew what he wanted to say.

"I just said that the true mission of this woodland is not to seal me, but to use me to seal the time scar that appeared after the Tree Father left."

"They cast those five thrones. On the surface, they gave the explanation that this was used by the elves to commemorate the ancient war. But in fact, the core of the sealing ritual, which relies on the wreckage of the World Tree, the ancient god temple, and the altar as nodes, is the throne behind me."

"They bound me to sit on the throne to suppress that gap. When the wreckage of the World Tree merged into this land, the inverted tree used its roots and canopy to block the gap, Vistalin Woodland is me, and I am Vistalin Woodland. As long as I don't get up, Vistalin Woodland can always suppress that piece of gap, and this sitting has come to the Sixth Era."

Xia De whispered:

"But you are not the real World Tree after all."

The old man nodded tiredly:

"Spanning ten thousand years, it's not that I don't want to, but I can't hold on anymore. Even though I have been using the method of actively creating 'paradox insects' to artificially dilute the power of the gap over the years, even if I have been assisted by the power of the other four thrones to perform the seal, even if I have been actively accommodating the time curse absorbed to strengthen myself, I still can't hold on after all."

"What?"

The side of the witch's line was the elf clan's team. Mr. Eldron, the "Lord of the Valley," was seriously weak because of the use of "sublimation words" but had no life danger. He knew that it didn't seem suitable to interrupt now, but he still couldn't help asking:

"You let humans raise so many paradox insects, just to release the power of the time scar?"

The old man smiled, looking very proud:

"Yes, so I had to summon them all tonight and let you kill them clean. Just like I worried about Bennett, I also worried that these insects would become new troubles generated to solve troubles. Of course, after tonight, those insects and various monsters tonight will drift to various time points in the future because of time instability, making this woodland seem to have endless monsters to kill, but compared to the destruction of the woodland, this is already a very light price."

For this answer, people looked at each other. Others were still thinking about the old man's words, even doubting whether he was lying. Only Emilia was outspoken. After all, she had completely experienced the story of Vistalin Woodland twice, looked at it from two perspectives, and had memories in the elf ruins, so she saw it more clearly:

"So everything you did was for Vistalin Woodland? Selecting Bennett was, artificially catalyzing paradox insects was... So the giant trees that revived in the forest tonight were also prepared by you in advance to prevent the time order from completely collapsing tonight, right?"

"Yes, I must ensure that the balance I maintained for five full eras will not collapse on this last day."

"And I and this God-Caller are really tacit. I sit on the throne to suppress the scar of time, and he solves the troubles I threw out one by one. Even that 'gravel worm' that was born at the end of the Fourth Era and wandered into the woodland, and was sealed underground by me, you were able to solve it. I used to worry about how to deal with it."

Even Xia De didn't know what to say at this moment, and the old man was still telling his story:

"The first ten thousand years of the seal, I wanted to leave here;"

"The second ten thousand years, I pondered the meaning of my birth on the throne;"

"The third ten thousand years, I actively maintained the gradually damaged seal;"

"The fourth ten thousand years, I accepted the responsibility of being the wreckage of the World Tree. What the ancient Tree Father could do, I could also do. So I started the plan of 'raising pigeons' at that time. The Bennett family was not the first human family I chose."

His gaze looked at Xia De:

"Now losing is losing. I am just very regrettable. In the end, I didn't see your god. If possible, I actually want to ask Him some questions. The final result turned out to be like this, and it is like this again. She took my tree heart, and then she would fall for me every time. I should have thought of it, I should have thought of it."

The light flowing from the old man to Emilia's hand became more and more sparse. Because she stood still, the snowflakes had made the elf's hair a bit white.

He asked Emilia, who was standing behind Xia De:

"Now, are you ready to become the Chosen One of Time, replace me to sit on that throne, turn into a tree, and suppress the scar of time forever?"

This was the thing Xia De had been worried about, and this was the final choice Xia De had to face. Now, ten thousand years later, the wreckage of the World Tree was unable to suppress the time scar that had existed since ancient times. At the moment when it decided to hand over this responsibility smoothly, the Chosen One of Time, the Chosen One who inherited the ancient Tree God's power, was the most suitable, and almost the only one who could sit on the throne.

The witches noticed that Emilia's expression didn't change much. In fact, she knew everything about this when she was in the underground elf ruins, but she didn't tell Xia De.

She didn't want Xia De to worry about her, but she still remembered the words Xia De had said many times:

"I listen to him."

The elf said softly. Luweiya, who was standing side by side with Xia De, smiled, and Xia De's face was very solemn. The facts did not exceed expectations, but precisely because the facts were really like this, it made him very troubled:

"Can you really not hold on anymore? Even for a year or two?"

He confirmed again, and the old man was also very sure:

"The opening of the story of the Chosen One of Time itself means that I really can't hold on anymore. You should see the situation of Vistalin Woodland in the past two months very clearly. This is not because I deliberately relaxed the suppression, but because I really can't suppress it."

"If there is still some time left, then there is only one day left. There are still a few dozen minutes until Monday, and the Scarlet Moon will shine in the night sky. I can hold on until the end of the full moon phase, but I don't suggest you consider such a long time, give me the answer now." ===== CHAPTER 3038 =====
