Chapter 1110: Chapter 1103: The Gift of the Ancestors

She seemed to dislike these liquids as well, looking down and frowning at them before speaking with a face full of disgust, "Falei, dispose of these disgusting things!"

"As you wish, Your Highness!" Falei said, bowing on the ground.

After a pause, Xia Yue suddenly thought of something and narrowed her eyes as she stared at her, saying, "Falei, make sure you’re not hoarding it as Holy Water."

"Yes, yes, as you command..." Falei, caught in her own thoughts, couldn’t find words to reply and could only stutter her response. Luckily, she was bowing her head, and Xia Yue didn’t see her embarrassed expression.

"Where are all the guests?" Xia Yue asked, waving away the disgusting smell in front of her nose and looking around.

"Oh, I’ve settled them in the palace, Your Highness, I’ll take you to them," Falei said respectfully.

"No need, just go about your business," Xia Yue said and stepped forward to Falei.

Falei, bowing her body, looked at the fair, delicate feet so close to her and inexplicably felt the disgraceful desire to pounce on them and bite.

"Raise your hand," Xia Yue said, extending her own hand.

"Yes, yes!" Falei obediently followed Xia Yue’s command.

She straightened up warily, looked up at Xia Yue, and then extended her hand, laying it in Xia Yue’s small palm.

Suddenly, Xia Yue gripped Falei’s hand forcefully. In that instant, her hand reverted to its tentacle form and thrust several tendrils into Falei’s thin skin, sinking deep into her flesh and bone.

The invasion didn’t cause Falei any pain; she only felt a sense of discomfort from being violated, but nothing else felt out of the ordinary.

After a while, Xia Yue let go of Falei’s hand, and her own hand returned to its fair and delicate appearance. Falei stared at her own hand, finding no trace of invasion, not even a drop of blood.

"Heh, just do what you like; why be confined by your identity as a Priest?" Xia Yue said with a light chuckle.

"Your Highness, what are you talking about?" Xia Yue asked, feeling somewhat guilty.

"It’s nothing, clean this place up, and I’ll go find our guests," Xia Yue said, stepping back subconsciously.

"Yes, as you command!" Falei bowed again, but this time she regretted that Xia Yue had moved her foot away, so she missed the chance to get another close look at those small feet.

Obviously, Xia Yue’s invasion had successfully extracted various valuable pieces of information from Falei’s mind. She seemed to quite enjoy this effective method; compared to communication and discussion, she preferred to directly invade the body to extract information.

Thus, after gleaning information from Falei’s mind, Xia Yue moved confidently through the palace like it was her own home, soon arriving at the room where the Advance Team was staying.

At that moment, the members of the Advance Team were gathered together, discussing the upcoming schedule when a knock at the door suddenly interrupted them. Hu Daoke ran to open the door, and there Xia Yue stood at the entrance, smiling at them.

"Getting impatient, weren’t you?" Xia Yue entered, hands behind her back, not feeling out of place at all.

"Indeed," Cheng Ziang nodded and then stared at her saying, "You should know why we’ve come to Xia Yue Island; there’s no need to dilly-dally on such matters."

Xia Yue walked to the table, sat down naturally, looked at everyone, and finally fixed her gaze on Luo’er, "Luo’er wants to sever his link with Tana, but it can’t be done here."

"Why?" they all asked in unison.

"Don’t you know that this island is isolated from the entire world?" Xia Yue asked, resting her chin in her hand.

"Isolation, you mean..." Luo’er asked hesitantly.

"Yes, the isolation of a god from another god. Originally, Tana set up a huge barrier with Xia Yue Island as its center, attempting to lock me inside. But she herself never dared to set foot on Xia Yue Island again, because she knew very well that if she dared to return, she would definitely surrender herself to me," Xia Yue said, staring at her hands as usual.

"Are you stronger than Tana?" Baiyue couldn’t help asking.

"Of course not," Xia Yue glanced at her, then shook her head, "Essentially, she and I were gods born of the same era, with no difference in our abilities. But..."

"But you have authority, the authority granted by the Ancestors, while Tana, had no choice but to submit to your authority, right?" Cheng Ziang asked.

"Hmm, it’s more or less that way," Xia Yue nodded, "I have the authority to correct Tana’s actions. If she mishandles issues concerning the Elf Race, then I am entitled to correct her actions, and even replace her."

"Then why did you say that you can’t sever the connection between Luo’er and Tana here? Don’t you have the authority to replace her?" Tangmo asked, frowning.

"Haven’t I already told you? This island has been isolated from the main world. Asking me to sever the connection here is like asking me to go online offline, isn’t that ridiculous?" Xia Yue said, shrugging her shoulders.

"So, what you mean, Lord Xia Yue, is..." Luo’er began slowly.

"We’ll set off by ship tomorrow. On the way from Xia Yue Island to Lipei, I will help you sever your connection to Tana, no, wait..." Xia Yue said, suddenly revealing an inscrutable smile, then squinted at Luo’er, "Before that, I will trace her using the link between you and her. She, this coward, will surely run away when she sees that I’ve been released, and I certainly don’t have the time to look for her everywhere."

"Wait," Cheng Ziang stopped her from continuing, then frowned and looked at her, "What are you going to do in Lipei?"

"I’m going to open the Otherworld Gate, what else?" Xia Yue replied as if it were obvious.

"Hold on..."

Her words made everyone from the Advance Team exclaim in unison, but they quickly calmed down. Since Xia Yue had accessed Luo’er’s memories, she naturally knew about the Otherworld Gate in Lipei.

"No work, no pay. You’re going to help us open the Otherworld Gate, not because we helped resurrect you, right?" Cheng Ziang questioned with a skeptical look.

"Of course not," Xia Yue said, massaging her fingers without looking up, "I have a major project that I want to discuss with you seriously."

"What major project?" Luo’er asked cautiously.

Xia Yue raised her head to look at Luo’er, a faint smile on her face, then said, "I’ll help you open the Otherworld Gate, but in return, I want to lead your Elf Planet Project!"

"That, you..." Luo’er began to ask how she knew about the project but quickly realized how she might. After a moment’s thought, he said with some difficulty, "We might not be able to make a decision on this matter."

"If you can’t decide, let your superiors decide. If your superiors can’t decide, let your countries decide. If your countries can’t decide, hold a United Nations General Assembly to discuss it. In any case, I need to lead the Elf Planet Project!" Xia Yue stated firmly.

"Why do you want to lead the Elf Planet Project?" Cheng Ziang asked, puzzled.

"As you see, it should have been Tana’s responsibility to assimilate the Elf Race with other species, but unfortunately and quite clearly, she has failed in her duties. Now that I will have to deal with her, I must also take over this responsibility. Cooperating with you Earthlings is the quickest way to achieve this goal," Xia Yue said.

With that, Xia Yue’s gaze swept over each individual, then she continued, "Your Earth has already entered the Intelligent Information Age, the entire world has been united as a whole. Whether it’s your organizational ability, your mobilization ability, or your positive perception of Elves. You are the most suitable candidates to carry out the project."

"But, the Ancestors didn’t say..." Luo’er began hesitantly.

"The Ancestors didn’t specify that Elves could only assimilate with the people of the Magic World. In principle, any world, whether it be the civilization of the Magic World or your Earth’s civilization, is eligible to enjoy the legacy left by the Ancestors, their last gift to this world," Xia Yue said.
