Chapter 3042: Mythical Lock - Light of Crystal

That giant-like old man completely disappeared in just a few seconds, leaving only a pile of sand on the throne.

But the throne itself remained in its original appearance, with starlight and tree vines intertwined, and pure white luster emanating from the throne itself. And the moment that central throne became completely empty, Emilia suddenly opened 【Star Trace】—

"Hit!"

The emblem of the "sapling lifting the golden clock face" still behind her granted power, and the arrow in her hand turned into a stream of light, directly hitting the back of the central throne. After the arrowhead pierced into the throne, the tail of the arrow was still buzzing and shaking. Immediately, the entire arrow emitted a rich miracle element, steadily suppressing the power beneath the throne.

At this time, the white fog barrier also appeared again before the throne under the tree, and the long-haired Luweiya in the shadow and Professor Yuke Wood walked out one after another. The atmosphere of celebration at the scene immediately became extremely oppressive, everyone shut their mouths, and Emilia breathed a sigh of relief; she lowered her longbow.

"The arrow you shot just now, is it an arrow of the World Tree?"

Xia De asked her. Emilia nodded gently; counting the arrow she had just found from the Bennett family, she had a total of seven, and after shooting one, six remained:

"The true purpose of the Tree Father leaving these arrows—to temporarily curb the expansion of the time scar.

I obtained this information from the memories of the ancient elf kings in the underground elf ruins. If the wreckage of the World Tree collapses and there is no suitable candidate to ascend the throne, then one arrow can suppress the scar for one day, buying time for the people of the 'future'."

The arrow pierced into the back of the throne was slowly decaying into ash. Emilia looked at Xia De, and with great courage, said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"I have been collecting these arrows all along, originally to be able to accompany you a little longer during the final farewell."

Xia De wanted to reach out and hold her, but the occasion was not suitable at all.

The old professor also said to them at this time:

"No matter what you want to do, go and try to carry it out. Having lost my suppression, you must use the arrows to keep suppressing the scar; before all the arrows are exhausted, you must end all of this."

The old man who looked like an ordinary old man just now looked like he was terminally ill at this moment.

"I will do it now. Since that time scar is the Vesta Woodland itself, then how should I observe it?"

Xia De asked, after all, he needed to know where the object was in order to cast the spell.

The old professor pointed to the huge throne behind him:

"If you sit on it, you can perceive everything in the entire woodland; that is the hub of the Vesta Woodland."

Xia De then wanted to walk forward, but just as he took a step, his wrist was grabbed by the returning Luweiya. With her long hair draped behind her, the purple-eyed diviner asked softly:

"You won't do anything stupid, right?"

"Of course not. Besides, since you are here, you can definitely stop me, right?"

The long-haired girl really wanted to say "You can actually cancel the effect of the Sublimation Language at any time to let me leave," but she wasn't about to let Xia De figure that out.

"Emilia."

Xia De said again to the elf who had become the Chosen One of Time. The latter nodded, revealing the Fate Ring that had just disappeared. The Fate Ring of Chosen Ones in their normal state is actually the same as that of ordinary Ring Warlocks, both being brass-colored wheel rings, but the Fate Ring Emilia revealed was a wheel ring entangled by branches growing leaves.

The Fate Ring deformed behind her. After the dark golden light appeared, the branches originally entangling the Fate Ring gathered downward together, until they turned into the appearance of a small tree lifting the dark golden clock face.

Emilia then turned around, grabbed the sapling with one hand, and then handed it to Xia De:

"Here."

So Chosen Ones really are amazing.

The time power inherited from the Tree Father and this sapling symbolizing the "Newborn Tree" constituted the power of the Chosen One of Time. After she gave out the sapling, although she was still a Chosen One, her power was missing more than half.

However, Emilia didn't seem to care. Xia De let her hold the roll of World Tree bark for him temporarily, and then let the sapling emitting golden light float on the palm of his empty left hand. After taking the 【Staff of Yggdrasil】 handed over by Luweiya with his right hand, he walked toward the throne step by step.

"Didn't Luweiya say she went to find the tree heart? This staff doesn't seem to have changed..."

During the process of moving forward, his body size became larger and larger, larger and larger, until when he arrived before the throne, his height had already exceeded a hundred meters, perfectly matching the size of the throne. And what made Emilia feel slightly surprised was that the sapling he was lifting and the staff also became larger as his body became larger.

Therefore, when Xia De became a hundred meters tall, the sapling that was originally palm-sized had already become like a towering tree, and the pitch-black staff that was originally one person tall had also turned into a hundred-meter length.

【Need to remind you, the state of divine power overflow is about to end.】

"Her" voice came in the wind. Xia De then, amidst the fluttering snowflakes and the dim starlight, sat down on the largest throne under the tree.

It seemed someone sighed, or it seemed it was just the wind brushing through the forest making a sound. Starlight and tree vines accompanied his left and right, and the power of nature and time set off his already huge body to be even more sacred—he seemed to have been meant to sit here all along.

Since she knew what Xia De was going to do, Emilia did not save her strength. A second arrow was shot at this time, piercing into the armrest on the right side of the throne, used to assist in the sealing while Xia De performed the ritual.

People did not go to observe the elf's actions again. While hundreds of eyes were watching the "God-Caller" at this moment, the Outsider himself closed his eyes.

Thus he really saw everything in the woodland, saw Xiwei and Megan having returned to the Golden Music Hall intending to join everyone in the woodland, saw the Guardian of the Earth gathering the scattered clones, currently talking with the Church's Ring Warlocks.

Snow fell on the branches, and the hibernating squirrels awakened by the noise nimbly jumped across the branches. When the snowflakes continued to fall toward the ground, the exhausted people gathered under the tree sat around the newly lit bonfire talking, rejoicing in the end of this night.

His spirit ran through the forest with the wind; he could see everything where the starlight shone, and he could hear everything where the snowflakes fell.

Finally, his soul tried to touch the deepest secret of the woodland. Thus, when his spiritual power sank into the depths of the earth, dazzling white light emerged from the chaos.

Xia De on the throne opened his eyes:

"Found it."

The "time scar" was not an existence that had materialized; even if one turned over the topsoil of the woodland, one would definitely not find it. It existed in the continuous space-time named "Vesta Woodland," and the situation had indeed reached a critical enough moment that it could not be delayed any longer.

Thick steam fog surged from the void behind the giant on the throne, but the Fate Ring was almost entirely hidden in that fog, only revealing eight specific spiritual runes.

With a "thud," Xia De gripped the long staff and struck the ground. His spiritual power spread to the entire woodland with the help of the throne's power, and nearly all the power remaining in the state of divine power overflow was consumed by him at this moment:

"Composite Mythical Lock - Fairy Tale Town!"

In Vesta City, Megan, who had walked out of the square preparing to take flight, suddenly tugged at Xiwei's sleeve. The two great witches looked down and saw the ground beneath their feet had turned into a paved road at some point. Looking up and forward again, the square under the heavy snow had turned into a paved street. In front of a glass window with lights on one side of the street, the match girl carrying a basket looked up at the moon;

Behind them was no longer the magnificent Golden Music Hall; the music hall had turned into a towering castle in the center of the kingdom. In the highest tower of the castle, moonlight broke in through the window, gently illuminating the sleeping face of the girl sleeping in the crystal coffin;

Suddenly the castle gate opened, and a pumpkin carriage roared out from the banquet hall. The running carriage drove through the small fairy tale kingdom in the snow, the streets after the war became wide and clean with the running of the carriage, and the houses became rows upon rows behind the carriage;

The carriage ran from the city to the forest under the moonlight. It passed by a silver lake in the forest; there was no one on the island in the center of the lake, a lonely long sword was stuck into the ground, and the silver blade flashed with light facing the moonlight;

It passed by a lonely clock tower hidden in the dead forest. The broken clock face of the clock tower faced the moonlight, and inside the clock tower room behind the clock face, two skeletons were closely intertwined;

Even in the ocean immediately adjacent to the forest, the princess with a human body and fish tail poked her head out from under the reef because of the sound of galloping hooves. She sang of the night and the forest together with her sisters, and the pumpkin carriage carried her singing to even further places.

When the carriage, like a messenger reporting to the king, finally arrived at the clearing before the throne and almost bumped into Emilia, fire was ignited in the center of the clearing, but immediately disappeared along with the pumpkin carriage—this time without using "Tree Kiss."

Only in that disappearing fire, although the war of time had ended, Blaney, who had not yet left, actually saw the phantoms of herself and her teacher, Mana Feilianna.

She smiled and understood what this represented; their shadows had long since remained in his heart.

The fairy tale kingdom and the Vesta Woodland perfectly intersected and merged together. With the help of the throne's power, the nine-ring Xia De completely unfolded this increasingly vast world. He believed that even the most brilliant Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi would be unable to distinguish between dream and reality at this moment.

Three moons shone on the earth, starlight and snowflakes sprinkled into the forest together, and Xia De opened his eyes on the throne. At this moment, the Vesta Woodland had already been encompassed in his eyes.

The World Tree bark held by the elf flew toward the throne at this moment, dragging the golden spiritual light symbolizing miracles and the brass-colored spiritual light symbolizing enlightenment, and became larger and larger during the flight, until it also turned into a volume commensurate with Xia De.

In the dual-colored light, the letters describing the original story of the ancient fairy tale flew out in sheets, until the colors of miracle and enlightenment floated above his head like a sun.

The third arrow continued to be shot at this time, and the World Tree material arrow melted into the light of the bark. When those letters circled Xia De once and returned to the bark—

"Since I am unwilling to let go, then it is now—"

The long staff in his right hand was raised again, and then fell heavily:
