Chapter 354: 354 God’s Favorite

Within the Elven kingdom, apart from the Elven Mother Tree, the tallest and largest tree housed the Elven Royal Court.

In the council hall of the royal court, Elf Queen Hilarya and the Chief Priest Regina were standing before a window, worriedly watching the Elven Mother Tree not far off.

The leaves at the top of the Mother Tree were turning yellow over a large area.

This situation started two months ago on a small scale.

In the course of those two months, the situation had grown increasingly grave, with the yellow leaves spreading like a virus to surrounding areas. Now, a third of the tree’s leaves had turned yellow before falling off.

Those bare branches left behind had also dried up, devoid of vitality.

The worsening situation had left the entire Elven upper echelons worried sick, yet they were helpless.

Some days ago, they managed to invite the Sage of the Wind, one of the most famous legendary mages on the West Bank Continent but he too was unable to help.

As the leaders of the Elf Clan, Elf Queen Hilarya and Chief Priest Regina could only watch, helpless, as the Elven Mother Tree wilted day by day.

Now, their only hope rested on Gress and Eve from the Divine State Continent, who might be able to bring back the Elven Mother Tree’s trunk successfully.

Only with that piece of trunk would they be able to save the Mother Tree.

The Elf Queen thought of her daughter, her eyes tinged with even more worry, “I wonder if Gress and Eve have arrived?”

Chief Priest Regina said, “Half a month ago, I conducted a divination. The results showed that everything was going smoothly.”

“I hope so.”

Queen Hilarya mumbled.

Over these days, she had gone through a great deal of ancient notes left behind by wise elven sages. They included records about that distant Eastern continent.

In ancient times, during the era of the Elven Empire, there was communication and interaction between the West Bank Continent and the Divine State Continent.

According to the records, the Elven Empire once tried to conquer that land, spreading the glory of the Earth Goddess to every corner of the world.

But they ended up failing.

Even though those notes from ancient times glossed over the failure of that expedition.

It was also during that time that major incidents occurred in the divine system of the elves, the Earth Goddess fell into a deep sleep, and several powerful divine spirits mysteriously fell.

That was the turning point for the Elven Empire from prosperity to decline.

It was also at that time that the humans seized the opportunity to rise. Soon after, the Elven Empire was overthrown, and the humans became the rulers of the continent.

If it weren’t for the internal strife among humans during the final battle, the remaining elves may not have been able to retreat into the Misty Forest and retain their vitality.

The Elf Queen realized after carefully reading these records that she might have uncovered a truth hidden in the mists of history.

Twenty thousand years ago, the divine system of the elves suffered heavy losses, the Earth Goddess fell into a deep sleep, and several of the most powerful divine spirits fell, possibly due to that expedition.

The mysterious Divine State Continent was countless times more dangerous than she had originally thought.

Even the omnipotent Earth Goddess suffered heavy losses. How terrifying must the powerful beings on the Divine State Continent be?

Would Eve and Gress truly be safe on this journey?

The Elf Queen felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

At that moment, a hand rested upon her shoulder, and Regina’s voice rang out beside her ear, “Everything will be alright.”

As Hilarya turned her head and opened her mouth to say something, she suddenly was alerted to something, looked up sharply, and cried out, “Eve!”

A grand spatial fluctuation appeared in the sky above the royal court.

The entire royal court’s lock system opened on its own, connected with the spatial fluctuation in the sky, and began to channel energy into it continuously.

The magic reserve in the royal court was consumed by one twentieth in an instant.

This degree of spatial fluctuation could only be the super long-distance teleportation of Eve’s new moon ring.

Elf Queen Hilarya was both shocked and pleasantly surprised.

Shock because the new moon ring was Eve’s last resort to save her life. If she had activated the super long-distance teleportation, it must have meant she encountered an enemy or danger she couldn’t counter.

Joy because at least she was certain now that Eve was safe.

As the ruler of the royal court, she not only didn’t stop it, she cooperated.

Soon, the teleportation was successfully completed.

The Elf Queen was able to sense her daughter’s presence clearly.

A legend?

She was inexplicably overjoyed; not only was Eve safe and sound, she also became a legend.

But just then, a heart-palpitating spiritual power swept across the entire royal court without any concealment.

With a thud, one of the artifacts she wore sensed danger and was activated on its own, forming a light shield.

“We’ve got an enemy!”

The Elf Queen was startled. The intensity of that spiritual power made her feel threatened; it wasn’t a small shock.

An extremely terrifying enemy had followed the super long-distance teleportation and arrived at the royal court.

She immediately took control of the lock system and protected the royal court and the Mother Tree.

Next to her, the Chief Priest, Regina knew they were facing a terrifying enemy. She took out her wand and a white glow rose immediately, without uttering an incantation, wrapping around Eve in the sky.

Sacred Protection!

This was a level-three legendary divine spell, an inherent ability of the wand in her hand.

Otherwise, even though she was a level-three legendary priest, she wouldn’t be able to cast it instantly.

Next, she triggered the second spell in her wand, a Sacred Summoning!

Immediately, a pure white unicorn and a clear, pure gemstone dragon flew out from the interdimensional space.

Then two more extra-order magic beasts flew up, which were transformed by the druids of the elf clan.

Several legendary mages were hiding behind these four extra-order magic beasts, casting shield after shield on themselves, ready for battle.

More than ten legendary masters were watching the terrifying master who infiltrated the royal court like they were facing a formidable enemy.

The entire scene was tight to the breaking point, ready to explode.

…

“Stop!”

Eve, seeing this scene, was dripping with cold sweat.

Having a master-servant pact with Gu Yang, their relationship was special; no one knew better than her how formidable her master was. If they started fighting, the consequences were unimaginable.

However, being within the Sacred Protection, her voice couldn’t get out.
