Chapter 3044: The Ending Under the Starry Sky
"What is missing?"
Emilia heard that the old man wanted to help, so she put down 【Star Trace】 and hurriedly summarized:
"Miracle is my little tree, in his left hand; enlightenment is that story written on the bark, behind him; whisper is that black staff, in his right hand... these powers are all related to the World Tree, and now what is missing is blasphemy."
She looked nervously at the old man beside her:
"You have the power of miracle, but you also have the power of blasphemy, and you are also related to the World Tree."
The exhausted old man chuckled:
"He is certain that I will definitely use my final power to help him, or rather, he is certain that the people remaining now cannot possibly let me get away. Is this considered revenge for the plan I formulated behind the scenes that calculated everyone?"
He shook his head and looked up at the three moons in the starry sky:
"Of course I will help him. How could I truly watch my forest, my city, be lost in endless time?"
"Thank you."
Emilia thanked him very politely. Thus, the old man lowered his head again and asked Emilia:
"But my main body has already been damaged. Now I need an artifact powerful enough as a carrier to carry my final power. This thing needs to have considerable representativeness and symbolism. What he is using now is no longer as simple as a Mythical Lock; this is a ritual of sealing."
The little elf immediately lowered her head to look at the 【Flute of Time】 in her hands; this sword was also World Tree material. However, thinking that Xia De didn't seem to have a third hand to hold the sword, and if she let him carry the sword on his back, it didn't seem very appropriate, so Emilia fell into trouble for a moment.
She then cast her seeking gaze toward the people around the clearing. They had all heard the conversation between the elf and the old man, so the witches and Ring Warlocks checked the things they were holding one after another, or pondered whether there were still suitable options within the woodland area.
No one could give an answer immediately. And the little princess, who was lying on the railing of the large ship's deck, while watching the head of Xia De's crystal statue reflecting the moonlight, suddenly had her "world-shocking wisdom" activated again:
"Xia De's head is actually reflecting moonlight, he looks like a bald... head... hat... crown!"
She held her breath and shouted loudly in the wind with a disguised voice:
"Emilia, it's the crown! It's the crown!"
"Wang Guan?"
Emilia was startled, and then immediately took off the silver crown on her head with both hands, but she was somewhat troubled:
"But the power of this crown can only be used by elves."
The old man laughed:
"Why do you think the 'God-Caller' is not an elf?"
Emilia said as a matter of course:
"Because he is a human."
Professor Yuke Wood asked with a smile in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"However, don't the witches also think that Xia De Hamilton cannot be considered a male?"
"What?"
Emilia blinked in confusion. The old professor smiled kindly:
"Then let's use this crown. I will bestow power upon it and also seal my knowledge in this crown. Elf of Moon Creek, Chosen One of Time, if you are interested, this knowledge belongs to you."
"Is there a way to make the dead tree revive again inside?"
Emilia immediately asked nervously. Professor Yuke Wood was also startled, nodding gently but then shaking his head.
When the elf wanted to ask more, the old man before her had already scattered into verdant light, all of which entered the crown she was holding in her hands.
The power of miracle and blasphemy made the silver crown light up even without being worn. What was filled in all thirteen gems was the power of the World Tree.
Since the Ancient God 【Father of the Infinite Tree】 left in the Second Era and the World Tree collapsed, the soul born from the wreckage of the World Tree, the old man who had guarded the Vesta Woodland and the time scar for five eras, had completely departed at this point.
Emilia was actually still somewhat emotional, but helping Xia De was the most important thing now. It was just that the hundred-meter-tall Xia De, even sitting, had a head at a very high position. Emilia wanted to whistle to let her little unicorn come over to carry her and fly over, but suddenly discovered that she was "growing taller."
Or rather, Emilia and the crown held in her hands were growing larger together. After a moment of panic, the elf understood that this was the old man who had already disappeared helping her at the very end.
Her mood relaxed slightly, and she looked toward the direction of the crystal throne. After her height also reached a hundred meters, the little elf walked toward there.
The crown in her hand hadn't even contacted Xia De yet, but it had already begun the resonance of the four elements at this moment. During the process of Emilia walking toward Xia De under the starry sky, clusters of crystal pierced the ground and rose irregularly in the clearing; the crystal clusters with the crystal throne as the core continued to spread and grow. While the crystal thickened, it actually seemed to make the throne rise out of thin air.
Low crystal steps thus rose on the ground before the throne, and Emilia stepped up the steps one by one.
The elf holding the crown thus arrived before the throne. Observing the face of the "God-Caller" on the throne at close range under the moonlight, the elf who had experienced these two long nights discovered that her mood was unexpectedly calm at this moment.
People watched this scene solemnly. Through the snowflakes, through the starlight, through the eternal light of the crystal clusters, Emilia carefully placed the crown in her hands onto Xia De's head. She felt she should say something at this moment, so following her own heart, she said "softly":
"Offering you the crown, my... King."
The silver crown landed on Xia De's head, and immediately the crystal also spread to the surface of that huge crown. Miracle, blasphemy, enlightenment, whisper—the four elements resonated perfectly on the crystal throne. The crystal throne, which originally only reflected moonlight, began to glow itself at this moment.
The starlight was exceptionally dazzling at this moment as if to celebrate, and the buzzing sound coming from underground was the loudest applause at this moment. The wind blew through the forest with falling snow, and also blew onto Emilia's skin.
She straightened her waist in the heavy snow, finished doing this, and felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her heart.
It was just that she did not turn around and leave this place. Pursing her lips and looking at Xia De's frozen face, she bent down and knelt beside Xia De's leg before the throne. The seventh arrow held in her right hand also became huge just like her body.
She did not shoot the final arrow, but instead grabbed it, folded her hands together, and placed them on Xia De's leg. Then, maintaining the kneeling posture, she closed her eyes, placed her head on her arms, and lay prone on Xia De's leg before the throne.
A rustling sound came. Before her body was also frozen by crystal, there was a serene smile on Emilia Sianode's face.
The power of the Chosen One of Time finally took its place. The light of the crystal soared into the sky at this moment, mixed with the falling snow, and light spots sprinkled toward the entire woodland.
The chaotic and collapsing space-time was completely calmed down in that light that was sown out. The time scar healed, and all the fighting tonight ended. Only the rustling sound continued to sound under the giant tree at the edge of the clearing. When the crystal clusters stopped expanding, that crystalline luster had already shrouded all five thrones. The four smaller thrones no longer represented earth, wind, water, and fire, but miracle/blasphemy/enlightenment/whisper.
The giant tree behind the throne appeared with a boundary between crystal and real wood at a position slightly higher than the top of the largest throne, and before the throne were three layers of steps.
Inclined crystal pillars and spikes guarded the crystal throne. The young man wearing a crown sitting on it maintained the posture of holding the staff in his right hand and lifting the crystal sapling in his left hand. The crystal head that should have been frozen lowered slightly, looking at the elf girl sleeping prone on his leg.
His expression was permanently frozen in a lowered-head smile.
Snowflakes continued to fall from the starry sky. With the completion of the seal, the light of the crystal throne was no longer so intense, but it still illuminated the forest. The people around the clearing all did not speak, just looking at the two people on the throne at this moment.
"So, the 'God-Caller' actually has elf bloodline? Wasn't it said to be merman bloodline... is there more than one alien bloodline?"
People who had read the relevant information about the "God-Caller" were all thinking this, while Flora, very unwillingly, let the crystal throne be imprinted in her pupils:
"This scene... alright, let's paint this for the final oil painting. How exactly did this kind of scene appear? The King and the elf on the crystal throne on a night of heavy snow... this is true art! I absolutely cannot miss it!"
"So, does this count as Emilia actively confessing? This way of confessing is really novel and creative, young people nowadays are really amazing... I am also a young person."
The Duchess thought in her heart, while Grandma Qishala watched Emilia's figure before the throne with tears:
"Emilia, child of Moon Creek, I am proud of you."
"Really, wouldn't it have been better for Emilia to turn around and leave just now? What's the point of specifically lying down?"
This was Ajelina's thought, but she was also truly happy for the little elf assisting Xia De in completing a great achievement.
Even the snowflakes were unwilling to fall on the two statues on the throne. The moonlight and starlight became even more charming. People held their breath and looked toward this sacred scene, waiting for the return of the two heroes. But waiting and waiting, waiting and waiting, the crystal remained just crystal.
"I have enough crystal resistance, I can get out of trouble now, but what is Emilia doing? I can't give her crystal resistance!"
Xia De thought in his heart, troubled, but "She" in his ear laughed and said:
【Isn't this the ending of the story? The elf in the forest was finally tempted by the crystal and also turned into eternal crystallization.】
"Now is not the time to tease me about tempting the elf, is there a way?"
【No need to think of a way, you just need to wait a few seconds.】
Xia De was communicating with "Her" too seriously, so he didn't see the lower end of the back of the throne behind him. Beneath the complete story of "The elf in the forest was tempted by the crystal," the mark representing the "Wolf Girl" among the marks carved by wolf claws suddenly lit up.
The witch's hand passed through that mark and gently pushed the crystal statue in front.
Thus, Xia De felt a gentle force pulling him and Emilia forward. As for the people beside the clearing, what they saw was the light on the crystal surface gathering toward the front of the throne. On the highest step, Xia De walked out from that light in a princess carry holding Emilia.
The crystal statue did not shatter because of their departure; this would become a permanent landscape. The throne was behind them, Luweiya's doll was in Xia De's pocket, his left hand held the black staff, and the crown was worn on Emilia's head. ===== CHAPTER 3045 =====
