In her previous life, she clearly did not come to the Whispering Forest and encounter these things, so the Tower of the Holy Spirit should not have been destroyed, and the revival ritual of the Tree of Life could have been successfully initiated.

Everything went exactly as the elves had planned, and everything was perfect. There was no reason for the Whispering Forest to be destroyed!

The only possibility is that something must have gone wrong at the point of the Tree of Life's revival!

Quan Ji pursed her lips and said in a deep voice, "We must be careful at all times during this operation of the Elf Festival. I think... there will definitely be a reversal."

Quan Ji's sudden remark left everyone puzzled, and they silently looked at her, waiting to see what she would say next.

Unfortunately, Princess Quan did not speak again.

Jun Chenlan understood immediately and asked, "Past life?"

Quan Ji nodded: "I wasn't here then, but Whispering Forest was destroyed, and the elves were wiped out. The remaining survivors... were not enough to cause any trouble. In addition, the hatred for the humans who were captured led to the elves being wanted. The last survivors quickly became playthings for humans... Of course, not just humans."

Jun Chenlan's expression also darkened: "What do you think the unexpected changes will be?"

Quan Ji's lips parted slightly: "The Tree of Life has been revived, but if the legend is true, the only thing the Elf race hasn't collected is the bloodline of the male King Elf. However, I think the Elf Queen wouldn't be so unsure. The Abyss is able to cooperate with them, so it's impossible that they're without confidence. We don't know where this change is yet."

Jun Chenlan: "We will be careful."

The Whispering Forest doesn't fall into crisis for no reason, but if the Tree of Life dies completely, then it might.

Everyone also increased their attention.

They entered the land of the elves.

The road was deserted, with no living creatures in sight.

The Tree of Life in the distance is majestic and unparalleled, its canopy reaching straight to the sky and spreading out in all directions. Although its vitality is not as great as before, it still gives people an incredibly shocking visual relationship and inspires a sense of awe in their hearts.

Quan Ji and the others approached cautiously.

Finally, they began to see signs of human habitation.

The elves donned their most sacred attire: white dresses, golden hair, emerald eyes, and a pair of exquisite, transparent wings—all hallmarks of the elven race.

Every elf had a smile on its face.

"The once-every-five-hundred-years Elf Festival has finally arrived. I heard that this time the Tree of Life has condensed a male King Elf. It's been so long since we've seen the birth of a male King Elf. I really want to see him in person."

"No way? Didn't Her Majesty the Queen give birth to Princess Sophia herself? The Tree of Life couldn't possibly be unaware of this, so why would it need to summon a new Royal Spirit... Wouldn't this just create chaos?"

"You don't know about Princess Sophia's betrayal? She is no longer a princess of the Elven race. She colluded with foreign races to destroy the great Holy Spirit Tower. She is the greatest sinner of our Elven race!"

"What a pity... Princess Sophia was so kind and beautiful. When she was born, even the Tree of Life bloomed, a rare occurrence. Countless beings that had not yet developed advanced intelligence all revolved around Her Majesty the Queen's room to celebrate her birth. Even the High Priest who died a hundred years ago said that Princess Sophia would be the greatest queen of the Elven race!"

"..."

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

Quan Ji obtained a clue—the Tree of Life would give birth to a male King Spirit during this Spirit Festival.

Unexpectedly, the Elf Queen had this plan in mind: she wanted to use the blood of the King Elf nurtured by the Tree of Life.

So this problem is solved, and it's clear that the variable in the Whispering Forest is not here.

Quan Ji took a breath, her gaze occasionally falling on Sophia.

Sofia's expression wasn't good at this moment, but it was understandable; these were the people she had to face before.

Quan Ji reached out and patted her on the back: "Don't worry, I won't kill innocent people indiscriminately. Just one death is enough... Once the truth is revealed, the Elf race will return to its original form."

Sophia nodded with difficulty: "I will try my best. I have overcome my biggest problem and will not let you down at the crucial moment. Thank you for your help, Miss."

Quan Ji's gaze then fell upon the group of elves.

The elves silently left their spot and headed towards the Tree of Life.

Quan Ji: "Follow me."

The group quietly followed, concealing their presence thanks to the power of Quan Ji's Truth Text.

It took them an unknown amount of time to get a clear sense of just how big and tall the Tree of Life really was.

From afar, it towers into the clouds; up close, it is even more breathtaking and astonishing.

Thick, massive, and intense life force seemed capable of healing everyone here.

The tangled branches make it hard to believe that such a magnificent tree exists in the world.

Such a tree truly deserves to be called the tree of life.

However, the leaves of this tree have now begun to turn yellow and are no longer green.

The next second, a powerful life force unfolded, and golden light flashed.

"My dear people, welcome to the Elf Festival!"
