Chapter 264 Bloodline and the Sacred Tree

Chapter 264

This closed-door meeting between the Golden Throne and the others lasted for most of the day.

Evelyn laid out almost all the evidence, clues, intelligence, and even some of the spoils of the Creation Society on the table.

She showed her achievements in this eradication operation without reservation.

I thought that such a victory, coupled with the irrefutable evidence that Karen was colluding with the Creation Society, would make the entire alliance furious.

She imagined the outcome of the meeting to be that Karen would be liquidated, Quetzalcoatl would gain justice, and the Principality of Cuilan would receive compensation and support from the Alliance.

However, the result completely subverted her expectations!

At the end of the meeting, many golden thrones stood up one after another. Their aura suddenly changed, and they all released the terrifying pressure of the golden totem, suppressing Evelyn!

At this moment, Evelin felt dizzy and as if she was falling into an ice cellar!

The Golden Throne, each one is the best among the best in the Alchemist Alliance, their totems have reached gold, and they control the power to destroy a country, end the world and become gods.

Just like the tyrant Earth Dragon Emperor who destroyed the capital of Cuilan Principality and rebuilt the entire country.

At this moment, there were not just one, not just two, but nearly ten Golden Thrones standing in the Golden Hall, including...

The three masters of the most powerful totems!

Their power came together, and the divine light of the golden totem rose up in the hall, as if heaven had descended to earth, causing the entire hall to fall into a solidified pressure.

The target of all this was locked on Evelin alone!

In an instant, the overwhelming golden pressure was like the collapse of the sky, enough to tear any silver alchemist into pieces in an instant!

But, Evelyn is not an ordinary silver alchemist!

She is half a step to gold, quasi-king!

I saw a giant snake as white as a holy feather with a wingspan of a thousand feet emerging from the void, hovering in the air, covered with wings, and exuding a sacred and solemn aura!

It was, the Half-Step Quetzalcoatl!

The holy feathers spread out, resisting all the pressure from the golden thrones, allowing Evelyn to stand proudly under this earth-shattering pressure.

However, even if she managed to hold on, she was already pale and her breathing was disordered...

What was even more surprising was that Lin En, who was standing next to her, was safe and sound.

The power of the Golden Thrones seemed to deliberately bypass him.

Even though their pressure was enough to shatter the entire city, it did not touch the corner of Lin En's clothes at all.

Lin En's dark eyes moved slightly, looking at Evelin who seemed to be doomed, and his mind was racing:

“What’s going on? These people want to attack Evelin…but they have no hostility towards me at all?”

"I'm an outsider, not even a member of the alliance... Do they really want to kill Evelyn? Or..."

Obviously, if this group of Golden Thrones really want to take action.

With Evelin and Lynn now only being clones, they would have probably been torn to pieces without even ashes left in that instant.

But they didn't really take action.

They simply released the almost tangible power of the golden totem, pouring all the oppression onto Evelyn alone without reservation.

This is not an attack, but it is enough to make people feel despair.

Just when the oppression was about to turn into deathly frost, the Sky-supporting Throne with a totem of the sky in the center of the Golden Palace slowly opened its mouth.

His voice was calm, without sadness or joy, like the wind sweeping across the sky, but every word was sonorous:

"The intelligence presented by Evelyn, the leader of the Quetzalcoatl, is... detailed and conclusive."

"This includes the fact that my successor Karen was secretly colluding with the Creation Society. The evidence is complete and there are witnesses. It is irrefutable."

"According to the laws of the Alchemist Alliance, anyone who dares to collude with the Creation Society and betray the covenant... regardless of status, bloodline, or teacher, will be sentenced to death."

"Even if... I am your disciple, it is no exception."

The moment the sound fell.

A turquoise edge flashed across the void, so fast that even the Golden Throne could hardly capture it.

The next moment, a human head suddenly appeared floating in the air!

The head had a handsome face and a peaceful expression, as if he died without any pain and didn't even have time to be surprised.

And he is Karen!

The heir of the Sky Wings, once the most popular prodigy in the alliance, has now become a cold corpse.

The whole audience was silent.

In shock, everyone's eyes were fixed on the man sitting high on the throne.

This time, all the evidence Evelyn brought was not only accepted, but was even implemented in a way beyond expectations.

Her first goal, Karen's death, had been achieved.

Evelin took a breath, and there seemed to be a slight wave of disbelief at the corners of her lips.

She had thought that the Skythrone would defend Karen, or at least... start a lengthy debate.

Unexpectedly, the other party was so decisive, resolute and ruthless!

Then, a steady and heavy voice sounded again from the other side of the hall.

That was the voice of Kelvan, the Lord of the Fish Dragon Kings:

"The power imbalance within the Alchemist Alliance has caused irreparable damage to the Principality of Cuilan."

"For this, the alliance will compensate with double compensation."

As soon as these words came out, Evelin’s second purpose was also successfully achieved.

The process was so smooth that it was hard to imagine.

However, just when everything seemed to have been settled, the oppressive golden pressure still did not dissipate!

Instead, it became more solemn, like dark clouds covering the city and gloom approaching suddenly.

Evelyn's delicate body trembled slightly, and the shadow of Quetzalcoatl continued to vibrate, but she still did not feel relieved.

Lin En's eyes narrowed slightly, and he slowly raised his head to look at everyone, with a chill in his heart:

"Karen is dead, and compensation is promised."

"But these people...why are they still unwilling to withdraw their pressure?"

Obviously, it's far from over.

Sure enough, the next moment, the last of the three most powerful thrones finally spoke.

It was a heavy sound, like the rumbling of the earth, coming slowly from the deepest part of the throne:

The Crystal Throne spoke.

"The Alchemist Alliance is a defense line formed by all alchemists under the threat of the Creation Society."

"Such betrayal and collusion within the alliance must be dealt with with great force and without mercy."

"In order to fight against the Creation Society and protect this continent, we can sacrifice everything."

"Even if they are disciples of the Sky-holding Throne, relatives and friends of the Fish Dragon Throne, or even... my own close relatives and bloodline."

"Everyone is equal in front of the alliance. Help each other, trust each other, reward those who have made contributions, and punish those who have made mistakes!"

These words were powerful and passionate, like a solemn oath announced to the world.

It sounds like every sentence is righteous and reasonable.

But who among those present here does not have a clear mind?

This is the Golden Palace, the top of the Alchemist Alliance's power pyramid.

The hall is full of golden thrones and royal bloodlines. Who isn't an old fox who has seen enough and is adept at using rhetoric?

No matter how many times you hear these "truths", they are nothing but smokescreens.

Sure enough, after those righteous speeches, the Crystal Throne's gaze, which contained the power of ancient rock, suddenly turned to Evelyn.

The tone was calm, but every word was as hot as magma:

"At that time, the Quetzalcoatl was attacked by the Creation Society and was in imminent danger."

"It was the Alliance that sent out the throne and did its utmost to rescue you, giving you a chance to catch your breath."

"In keeping with the alliance's motto of 'mutual assistance', I have never asked for anything in return from the Quetzalcoatl."

After a pause, he changed the subject, his tone no longer a statement, but... a request:

"Now, I have no choice but to shamelessly... use my old face to ask the current leader of the Quetzalcoatl for a small gift."

These words may seem humble, but they are actually condescending.

The atmosphere in the Golden Palace suddenly became stagnant.

When Evelin heard this, a hint of uneasiness flashed in the depths of her beautiful eyes.

She is a smart person.

From the Crystal Throne's long and winding speech, I could already sense that what was to come would be hard to accept!

However, she did not back down.

Even though the golden aura was overwhelming her, and even though she was under a huge invisible pressure, she still straightened her back and spoke slowly:

"I wonder what the leader wants to ask for?"

Her voice was not loud, but every word was clear.

When the Crystal Throne heard Evelyn's response, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes, but he did not answer immediately. Instead, he continued in a steady tone:

"We obtained the action plan of the Creation Society for its attack on the Principality of Cuilan by interrogating the prisoners of the Creation Society."

He paused and continued:

"These people are trying to use the blood of the sacred tree and Quetzalcoatl to destroy the city of Reiner in the Cuilan Principality..."

When they heard the word "sacred tree", everyone present looked thoughtful.

Those alchemists naturally knew the meaning of the sacred tree.

Whenever the Creation Society plans a large-scale action, it will receive support from the sacred tree bestowed by the World Tree.

After the sacred tree completes the designated task, it will be rewarded by the world tree and start the journey to connect with the world tree.

Just like the bloody tree in Klaus's hand before, and like the sacred tree that the Creation Society attempted to use this time.

The Crystal Throne paused for a moment, then added:

"According to our investigation, in order for this sacred tree to reach the conditions that can trigger the World Tree's Guidance... it needs a large amount of Quetzalcoatl blood. Lots and lots of it!"

Before the words fell, Evelin and Lynn looked at each other, and a clear thought flashed through their minds almost at the same time.

What the Crystal Throne wants is Evelyn's Quetzalcoatl bloodline!

We must allow the sacred tree to gain enough power to open the path to the world tree.

The only way is to offer Evelyn's Quetzalcoatl bloodline to the sacred tree.

After the sacred tree meets the conditions, a path leading to the World Tree will be opened!

The Creation Society and the World Tree are the biggest concerns of the Alchemist Alliance.

You know, the Creation Society has been in chaos for so long, and the entire continent has been turned upside down by them.

However, the Alchemist Union still has not found the headquarters of the Creation Society and the trace of the World Tree.

Even though they knew that there was such a thing as the sacred tree in the Creation Society, the sacred tree was strictly guarded by every action team of the Creation Society.

There will never be a situation where the entire action team is wiped out in this Cuilan Principality operation.

After all, no other force has an insider like Quentin who dares to join the Creation Society and has any connection with the World Tree.

Today, the many golden thrones of the Alchemist Alliance obviously do not want to miss the opportunity to use the sacred tree to find the world tree.

Therefore, they met all of Evelin's requests so vigorously, even if it meant killing the disciples of Sky Wings...

At the same time, these golden thrones also expressed their ideas through practical actions.

The best way to describe it is the pressure from the golden throne.

It would be fine if Evelyn agreed, but if she disagrees, then these Golden Thrones would probably take action!

"I see……"

Lynn, who was beside Evelin, thought so with a flickering mind.

In fact, he also knew about the connection between the sacred tree, the world tree, and the Creation Society.

But he had never thought of using Evelyn's blood to nourish the sacred tree and thus find the trace of the world tree.

Because each sacred tree has its own unique guiding power, it is difficult for outsiders to take advantage of it.

Just like Klaus before, he gave birth to the bloody tree and met the requirements.

He is the only one who can be guided to the place of the World Tree.

But unfortunately, Klaus was killed by Lynn himself, so he had no chance to go there.

Now, these golden thrones say this righteously, could it be that they have mastered the method of utilizing the sacred tree?

Or do they just want to use Evelyn's feathered serpent bloodline to try their luck?

Lynn had no way of knowing this.

And Evelin beside him had a pair of beautiful eyes with a myriad of emotions flowing through her, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Time passes slowly...

It seemed that Evelyn had not responded for a long time, and a "bad guy" from the Alchemist Alliance stood up.

It was the Sky-holding Throne. He spoke calmly:

"Karen's death was my way of abiding by the rules of the Alchemist Alliance and clearing the door. The Quetzalcoatl is also a member of the Alliance, so there is no need to worry about it..."

"But if Evelyn, the leader of the Quetzalcoatl, is unwilling to pay for the Alchemist Alliance... then I'm afraid I'll have to settle with you about Karen's incident..."

At this time, in addition to the three most powerful thrones, the other golden thrones also spoke up.

"The old Snake King died in an unclear manner. Niece, if you are willing to nourish this sacred tree and find the headquarters of the Creation Society for the alliance, we will definitely kill the Creator and avenge the old Snake King..."

"With the loss of Quetzalcoatl bloodline, even if your totem will become silver level...but the alliance will give you compensation. You have been sublimated once, and with the supply of resources, you may be able to restore the glory of Quetzalcoatl..."

"The Alliance can guarantee that as long as my niece is willing to hand over the Quetzalcoatl bloodline to nourish the sacred tree, the Alliance will protect the Quetzalcoatl and my niece... We can even guarantee that the child born to my niece and the man you choose will inherit the identity of the leader of the Quetzalcoatl..."

Under the successive bombardment of many golden thrones...

Finally, Evelin made her decision, pursed her red lips, and uttered the word "OK".

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding golden thrones all withdrew their terrifying auras with satisfaction...

However, when Lin En, who was closest to him, heard Evelin say this, he didn’t quite understand.

"Are you sure?"

He asked with a hint of confusion.

Who would have thought that this time, Evelin's beautiful eyes were shining with intelligence, and she looked at Lin En with interest and whispered:

"Didn't those uncles on the throne say... that our children can inherit the Quetzalcoatl?"

When these words came out, Lin En was speechless. She had teased Evelin for so long.

Unexpectedly, this time she teased me instead.
