Chapter 291: Chapter 266: The Unforeseen Shortcut (Request for Monthly Ticket)

Lette remembered very clearly that before he came to the Fairy Tale Subspace, he had just interviewed the Life Goddess sisters.

After passing the interview, the two of them happily went to the territory of the Elves to prepare for the inheritance of the Divine Position of the God of Life.

According to their own words, this matter would take at least about a week to prepare.

How did things go wrong in less than half a day?

Seeing Alice’s anxious look, Lette had no choice but to turn to the Liar Demon.

"It seems the matter is quite urgent, I’ll have to go take a look first. Handle matters in the Fairy Tale Subspace well, and also prioritize the magical advancement pathway."

With that said, with Alice’s help, Lette tore open the space barrier of the Fairy Tale Subspace and returned to the general store in Harbor City.

The array dissipated, and the two landed, with Lette quickly heading to the secret communication device.

"Joanna, I’m here."

"Lette, thank heavens, you’re finally here."

Joanna’s voice came through the secret device: "Can you come to the Divine Court right now?"

"Is it that serious?"

Lette paused, wondering what could be urgent enough to need a face-to-face conversation.

But hearing the anxiety in Joanna’s voice, Lette didn’t hesitate any longer and placed his hand on the secret device.

The holy spell activated, and his consciousness, accompanied by the soaring Holy Light, ascended into the Divine Realm, condensing into an entity.

Seeing Lette’s arrival, both Afra and Joanna let out a sigh of relief. On the contrary, the Life Goddess sisters appeared bewildered, as if unaware of what was happening.

This reaction left Lette somewhat puzzled.

As the ones who first discovered the problem, why did these two Princesses seem a bit indifferent, while the Holy Light Twin Goddesses looked ready for battle?

Seeing Lette’s arrival, Joanna hurriedly took his hand and led him to a light screen.

"Lette, look at this."

Lette looked up, and his expression immediately turned grim.

The scene in the light screen was of a magnificent and ancient city, with a towering tree at its center.

Judging from the architectural style, this should be an Elven city.

And that central tree should be the Holy Tree of the Elf Clan, the Ancient Tree of Life.

Since the tree is here, this city should be the former capital of the Elf Empire.

What really caught Lette’s attention, however, was that the emblem of the Tower of Truth was engraved on the Ancient Tree of Life at the city’s center.

This emblem was hidden deeply and could only be seen if one looked down from above the Holy Tree.

The Ancient Tree of Life is the Holy Tree of the Elf Clan, and these pointed ears probably never intended to look down at this Holy Tree from the air in their lifetime.

Another important point is that since the Divine left, the power of the Ancient Tree of Life has gradually dissipated, and its leaves have become sparse.

Otherwise, this mark would not have been discovered either.

"What is happening here?"

"We don’t know either."

The younger sister, Nuoyan, lowered her head and fiddled with her hands: "My sister and I originally planned to awaken the Ancient Tree of Life first, which is an important step in taking over the Divine Position.

But unexpectedly, we were rejected by the Ancient Tree of Life at the very first activation.

It seems there is some force blocking our Life Divine Power from entering the tree.

We traced the traces of this force to its hiding place, which is this emblem."

"Can’t you break through its blockade?"

The older sister, Nora, sighed: "It can be done, but that might cause the Ancient Tree of Life to collapse directly.

This tree has lived too long and has been deprived of nourishment for so long.

The fact that it’s even able to meet the conditions for revival is already a blessing in disguise.

We never expected something like this to happen.

If we lose the support of this matured Ancient Tree of Life, managing the Elves and harvesting faith will become very troublesome.

Even if we were to cultivate a new one from a seedling stage, who knows how long it would take to mature..."

Lette didn’t like making cautious choices, but in this situation, he was more concerned about the array of the Tower of Truth.

He hadn’t expected the reach of the Tower of Truth to extend to the Elves.

What intrigued him the most was the timing and effectiveness of this array’s emergence.

If the array appeared after the Tower of Truth was destroyed, it would indicate that another group of Truth Remnants was acting in the shadows.

Because from Wise Sage’s memories, no information related to this matter was found.

If it was before the Tower of Truth was destroyed, post the deific struggles, that would ironically be the most reassuring scenario.

After all, back then, the Tower of Truth was in its prime. They didn’t just persecute Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Sea Clan; they spared no one.

And during that time, the Life God System had already lost and left, and the Elf Clan was abandoned as believers.

Their national strength and cohesion were declining, making it possible for enemies to take advantage of the situation.

But if this thing appeared before the deific struggles, then things would be really fun.

It would imply that the Tower of Truth was brazen enough to leave a mark on the tree, even with the Life God System in place.

And at that time, even the divines of the Life God System didn’t detect this issue.

Of course, there are other various possibilities.

In a short time, Lette couldn’t complete all the reasoning. But in any case, this emblem essentially represented trouble.

Lette surveyed the area, taking in the expressions of the four goddesses.

"Given the current situation, first ensure that the two Life Goddesses can successfully take over their positions.

We can think about all other matters once you’ve succeeded."
