”Ling Tian, why are you here? What happened here?” Greenwood came over to Ling Chen as he hurriedly asked.

”I came here to see my little sister, but I didn't do anything. Just as we were about to leave, this tree suddenly grew out, and I don't know why either,” Ling Chen truthfully replied. Standing so close to Greenwood, he could clearly feel how intense Greenwood's emotions were, and he asked, ”What is this Fairy Tree?”

”The Fairy Tree is the tree of our Fairy Clan's origins, and it is the tree of life!” An aged and emotional voice sounded out from behind him as Granny Witherwood slowly walked over, her teary eyes staring at the Fairy Tree, ”I never thought that in my old age that I would not only be able to see my clan released, but also see the reborn Fairy Tree. I can truly die without regrets now.”

”The tree of the Fairy Clan's origins? The tree of life?”

”That's right.” Greenwood nodded as he raised his head, looking at the light on the Fairy Tree as he said in awe, ”No one knows the Fairy Tree's original name, but in the ancient times when there were still G.o.ds and Demons, it was a G.o.dly tree filled with the power of Nature. It grew in this Fairy Fountain, and the Fairy Forest was born because of it. As it grew, its Nature energy became denser and denser, forming a spirit and giving birth to the first Nature Spirit… the being that our Fairy Clan wors.h.i.+ps, the Nature G.o.ddess.”

Granny Witherwood continued, speaking in a voice that was hoa.r.s.e but as heavy as a mountain, ”She didn't have any fighting power. Instead, her power was one of holiness, nature, purity, benevolence, and life. Although she was birthed by the Fairy Tree, in our hearts she's a being of utmost holiness. This is because she, with the Fairy Tree's power, created the first Fairy… which is how our Fairy Clan came to be. Without the Nature G.o.ddess, none of the Fairies would exist. In essence, the Nature G.o.ddess is a Fairy, but she is also a Nature Spirit. As such, she's also called the Progenitor of our Fairy Clan.”

”So it's like that…” Ling Chen lightly nodded. He had heard the Fairies mention the Nature G.o.ddess before, and he could feel that their wors.h.i.+p towards the Nature G.o.ddess surpa.s.sed that of the Moon G.o.d Clan. However, he had not found any records of the 'Nature G.o.ddess' in the Forgotten Continent Chronicles. It turned out that she was not a 'G.o.d', but she was instead a 'Spirit' like the Lucky Cat. It was just that one was a Nature Spirit, while the other was a Treasure Spirit. However, she was a true G.o.ddess in the hearts of the Fairies.

”Does that mean that the Fairy Tree disappeared afterwards?” Ling Chen asked.

”That's right, it disappeared a long, long time ago… no, it entered into a deep sleep together with the Nature G.o.ddess… until today.” Granny Witherwood's eyes were filled with hot tears, and her stooped body seemed to try to straighten in devoutness as she looked at the Fairy Tree… she had been able to witness the scene that countless of her ancestors had desired to see.

”That was about 10,000 years ago. Back then, the Forgotten Continent had just gone through a calamity called the Shura's Devastation. Although the disaster was over, the entire Forgotten Continent was almost paralysed, and even the strongest clans, the Moon G.o.d Clan and the Void Dragon Clan, were greatly injured. At that time, the dormant Demon Beast Clan suddenly appeared, bringing disaster to the Forgotten Continent that still had not recovered from the Shura's Devastation. The Demon Emperor was incredibly powerful, and he was not any weaker than any of the 3 Moon G.o.ddesses. The 3 Moon G.o.ddesses had been greatly weakened from the battle with the Shura, countless Moon G.o.d Representatives had died, and the Void Dragon Clan had sealed themselves away after the battle with the Shura.

”As such, the Moon G.o.ddesses sought the help of the holy beast Golden Crow, which had greatest destructive power that countered that of the Demon Beast Clan's. They also found the Fairy Realm and asked the Nature G.o.ddess to bring the Fairies to defend against this threat. The benevolent Nature G.o.ddess naturally would not refuse, and she brought all of the Fairies to fight with the Moon G.o.d Clan and Golden Crow against the Demon Beast Clan. Back then, there were tens of millions of demon beasts, and they were incredibly powerful.

”After a horrific battle, the Demon Beast Clan was finally destroyed, and the Demon Emperor was killed by the Golden Crow's Heavenly Wrath of the Nine Suns. However, the Golden Crow never appeared again, and it was unknown whether it was still alive. The Moon G.o.d Clan had many casualties, and my Fairy Clan's casualties were even worse… but even though countless had died, we were not resentful at all because these lives had bought the peace and security of the Forgotten Continent. However, during that battle the Nature G.o.ddess was a.s.saulted by countless demonic auras, and a month after the battle, she was unable to maintain her 'Spirit' form anymore and returned to the Fairy Tree. A month later, the Fairy Tree started to wither until it died… leaving only a withered seed in the Fairy Fountain.”

This was a secret of the Fairy Clan, and yet they were telling Ling Chen unreservedly. This showed just how much they trusted him. Ling Chen silently listened, then slowly nodded, ”So it's like that… that means the seed has been in the Fairy Fountain this entire time, but it has never sprouted? And the Nature G.o.ddess has never appeared?”
