Chapter 299: Chapter 270: Blossoming of the Life Flower_2

Although the souls of humans are the most unstable and the probability of creating such beings is higher, there are many capable individuals among other races as well.

In the great war of those years, although the World Alliance Army achieved victory and the Tower of Truth was destroyed.

But judging by the current situation, the Tower of Truth probably saw its hopelessness and simply disbanded itself, moving from the open to the underground.

The Wisdom of Reason, the Wise Sage, and the Sky Sage, who never revealed himself, didn’t die back then.

The number of those who escaped is countless.

The Wise Sage harnessed the remains and grievances of the Wisdom of Reason to establish his own organization.

And that ever-growing Truth Workshop in the First Empire is likely no push-over either.

Therefore, it’s uncertain if the destruction of the Ancient Tree of Life was done by insiders of the Elf Clan.

After all, Lette had heard before that the Elf Clan has always had controversies over reproductive methods.

Born from the Ancient Tree of Life, it’s indeed fast, excellent, and economical, convenient and efficient.

But many elves believe that this method of birth is a desecration and defilement of life.

The Elf Clan should reproduce on their own, like other life forms, rather than relying on the Ancient Tree of Life.

Unfortunately, when the War of Gods broke out, the population consumption of major races became astonishing.

At that time, the Elf Clan’s greatest weakness was exposed, which was the replenishment of troops.

With no successors, the elves retreated steadily, and the long age gap even caused some of the elf heritage to be cut off.

It was also at that time the internal direction of the Elf Clan completely changed, clearly showing that the birth method of the Ancient Tree of Life was more suitable for war and population replenishment.

Otherwise, waiting for these elves to become pregnant and have children would take forever, and female elves are unable to fight during pregnancy, unnecessarily increasing the number of non-combat reductions.

This might be the beginning of the Elf Clan’s reliance on the Ancient Tree of Life.

And the cruelty of war also left the Elf Clan unable to care about the imbalance in population ratio.

By the time they realized, it was already too late.

Gazing at the shimmering lake surface, Lette couldn’t help but sigh. What a glorious Elf Clan it once was, now reduced to this state.

"Let’s go and see the tree, hopefully, it can still be saved."

Lette grabbed Sofia and flew straight toward Lake Heart Island. The Liar Demon followed closely, and the two easily passed through the barrier of the Ancient Tree of Life and arrived at Lake Heart Island.

The vast Ancient Tree of Life looks even more magnificent up close.

But only up close could they find that the canopy concealed many withered branches and leaves, which clashed with the surrounding vibrant green.

"It seems the problem is serious."

"The Ancient Tree of Life withering, this really is a very rare event indeed."

The Liar Demon circled around the tree, and finally returned to Lette’s side with some disappointment.

"Hey boss, this tree clearly has an issue, you can’t use its timber to make me a new body.

If there are any hidden dangers, I wouldn’t stand a chance."

Lette raised an eyebrow: "Yeah, I could use you for an experiment."

"Boss! Are we talking about the same thing? If it’s the same thing, why does it feel like the meaning is different!"

Lette ignored him and directly put his hand on the tree trunk.

In an instant, he resonated with this divine tree.

But soon, this resonance disappeared without a trace.

The Liar Demon leaned in: "Boss, did you connect?"

"Got connected, then the other side hung up?"

"Hung... hung up? You mean it stopped responding, right? That’s normal, after all, you’re not an elf, nor a deity of the Life God System.

The Ancient Tree of Life initially responded to you to test if you have the qualification to communicate with it.

After finding out that you didn’t meet the requirements, it naturally... just hung up."

Lette sneered: "This Ancient Tree of Life has quite a few tricks, but indeed it’s very economical, even better than the entire set of mechanisms used by the Holy Light Goddess Afra.

But compared with the current Holy Truth Magic Ring and Holy Wisdom Cloud Library, it falls short."

"Boss, where is the array you’re talking about?"

"Above."

"Huh? Above!?"

Sofia was somewhat resistant: "Mr. Wright, are you going to the top of the tree? Isn’t that somewhat disadvantaged?"

Lette found it cumbersome to explain to her, so he didn’t bother.

He took Pinocchio and soared towards the canopy. Sofia stood in place, wanting to follow to stop them, but fearing to offend the Ancient Tree of Life.

In her moment of indecision, Lette and the others had already found the projected position shown to them by the Life Twin Goddess.

"There’s really an array! Outside, there are two sealing arrays and an illusion array, maximizing the protection of this array from any discovery. If found, there will be a counterattack killing array.

Heh, spellcasters have really thought this through."

Lette patted Pinocchio on the shoulder: "Young man, it’s time for you to prove your magical worth."

"Okay, but boss, where should we transfer this array to?"

Without thinking, Lette directly pulled out a large piece of dragon scale.

"This is Red as fury’s dragon skin, using it to support the transferred array couldn’t be more suitable."

"How is that suitable? It’s a sheer waste of good material!"

"Why so agitated? It can be reused in the future anyway. Alright, alright, don’t just stand there, I got the stuff ready for you.

Let’s get started!"

If the lock couldn’t be opened for now, then simply change the door. This was Lette’s strategic approach.

This array left by the Tower of Truth, we still don’t know why it’s here or how it’s used.

Destroying it like this would be too wasteful; preserve it first, then slowly study it.

The Liar Demon took a deep breath and slowly drifted to the edge of the canopy.

He extended a finger, targeting the array within the canopy.

"This is a lie."

The Liar Demon consumed a large amount of Power of Lies, turning the entire matter indistinct and uncertain.

Then, he reached into this nebulous area, and carefully started rolling the entire array up like a burrito.

After that, he brought over a dragon scale the size of a large pot and carefully spread it out.

After doing all this, he finally started rolling the array burrito, sealing it bit by bit inside.

Once the array transfer was completed, the Liar Demon let out a sigh of relief and slowly withdrew the dragon scale.

At this moment, a circle of golden yellow array patterns appeared on the dragon scale, densely packed with various parameters, making people dizzy just looking at it.

"Boss, mission accomplished!"

"Good job!"

Lette carefully took the dragon scale back and stored it safely.

This array is unheard of, it needs to be deciphered slowly once we get back.

But what was gratifying was that as the array here was lifted, the entire Ancient Tree of Life began emitting a strong life breath.

Those withered branches and leaves started sprouting new buds.

"It seems the hidden danger is eliminated."

Lette clapped his hands encouragingly: "Well done, well done, well done! I’ll inform the Life Twin Goddess to have them continue with the process.

A nation cannot be without a monarch for a day, let alone an entire God System."

However, just as Lette was preparing to contact the Divine Court in the Divine Realm by prayer, Sofia suddenly screamed.

"Flower! The life tree is flowering!"

Lette was stunned for a moment, following Sofia’s finger, he found a white flower among the thousands of green leaves.

"So what if it’s flowering? Why make a fuss? Eh, something’s not right; I’ve never heard of the life tree flowering?"

Lette turned to the Liar Demon: "Have you... heard of it?"

The Liar Demon, for some reason, looked a bit dazed: "Boss, this might be a big deal."

"What do you mean?"

"The Tree of Life flowering, what’s appeared is the Death Flower. It’s the ultimate bloom of life, and as the flower withers, life will also reach its end.

That is, enter death."

Lette gazed at that fist-sized white flower, appearing so small compared to the massive life tree, yet so striking.

"The tree will die?"

"No, all the elves will die. That’s if they had no God of Life; otherwise, even the deity would die as the flower withers."

The Liar Demon paused here and spoke again: "It might even bring death to the entire world."
