Chapter 1445: The Elven Godtree

Jian Chen frowned as he slowly glanced over all the people present. His gaze stopped on the figure of the Elven Godtree for some time before he looked at the formation drawn by the illusionary branch. The formation had connected all the soul fragments from the people on the mountain and was channeling it into the War God Hall as a wondrous type of energy.

However, Jian Chen was unsure as to what was going on in the War God Hall. He could clearly sense that the War God Hall was even more powerful than the Beast God Hall. His soul could not penetrate.

Jian Chen stared at the bright divine hall for a while before a sliver of determination appeared in his eyes. With a single movement, he headed toward it.

The door to the divine hall was not closed. Jian Chen was slightly worried about Tie Ta, so he wanted to enter to check on him. Although the war god of the Hundred Races possessed the faith of the entire race, this ceremony was just far too odd. The entire process was being directed by a mysterious, ancient tree, so Jian Chen had to take precautions. After all, something like this had happened to the white tiger in the past as well.

“Sovereign Jian Chen, do not approach the War God Hall…” The Saint Emperors all cried out as they rapidly ran toward Jian Chen. They wanted to stop him.

However, Jian Chen had already arrived before the War God Hall. He was so fast that even the Saint Emperors were not able to catch up to him.

“Sovereign Jian Chen, not only will the war god suffer severe losses if the ceremony is disturbed, but even the nine hundred ninety thousand people on the mountain will suffer a great backlash, which would be almost irrecoverable…” Seeing how they could not catch up to the Jian Chen, the Saint Emperors sent him a message through a technique as quickly as they could. Worry filled their faces.

Jian Chen paused and after a slight moment of hesitation, he made his way to the door. The divine hall gave Jian Chen an impression that it was extremely powerful, but the more powerful something was, the more difficult it was to control. He believed that no one present could control the divine hall, so they obviously could not use its power.

The moment Jian Chen headed toward the entrance, the Elven Godtree suddenly moved. With a flash of green light, a branch that was several meters thick blocked the entrance.

The branch was illusionary and completely condensed from tremendous life force, but it stopped Jian Chen in his steps.

A gleam of light flickered through Jian Chen’s eyes, and he suddenly turned toward the Elven Godtree that extended into the sky. His gaze gradually sharpened, as if he wanted to see through the tree.

“This king knows that you are worried about the safety of the war god. Do not worry, the war god’s status among us, the God race, is not something you can imagine. We would never do something detrimental to the war god.” An obscure voice rang through Jian Chen’s head. It came from a female, and it was gentle but dignified.

Jian Chen became stern in a single moment. He expanded his soul in all directions and became filled with caution. He did not know where the voice came from at all.

“Are you the one talking to me?” Jian Chen asked gruffly as he stared at the figure of the Elven Godtree nearby.

“This ceremony is extremely important to the war god. Nothing can go wrong. Before the ceremony ends, do not enter the War God Hall, or you will end up injuring the war god instead of helping him.” The obscure voice appeared again. Jian Chen was still unable to find its origins. As soon as the voice finished speaking, the ancient branch at the entrance of the divine hall was removed.

Jian Chen did not try to enter the divine hall any longer. Instead, he stood there as he stared at the Elven Godtree. He was certain that even if the speaker was not the tree, they were still closely connected to it.

“Who are you? Are you the spirit of the Elven Godtree?” Jian Chen asked again. He was very perturbed. He had never thought that such a grand existence hid among the Hundred Races.

It was impossible for her to be a Saint Emperor, since just being able to communicate to him without revealing her position was not something Saint Emperors could do.

“Three days later, the ceremony will end. Before then, I hope you will not disturb the ceremony, just in case you cause it to fail.” The voice rang out again and completely ignored Jian Chen’s questions.

“Alright. I’ll wait here patiently for three days,” responded Jian Chen before he left the War God Mountain. He waited patiently, hovering away from the mountain, but his gaze was fixed on the ancient tree the entire time.

The Saint Emperors who did not take part in the ceremony all looked around with uncertainty. Doubt filled their eyes. One of them could not hold back their curiosity and asked politely, “Sovereign Jian Chen, may I ask who you were talking to? Is there a mysterious expert that we cannot sense here?”

Jian Chen remained silent. He understood that the obscure voice was probably only audible to him.
