Chapter 161

"Nice to meet you. I am the King of Elves, Ainolucia."

The beautiful elf queen in a white dress under the Tree of Life smiled at Ye Bai, and her whole body was surrounded by a layer of dreamy soft light.

Even the producer Ye Bai was stunned by the scene where every screenshot could be used as a promotional picture for the game.

After all, she only knew the racial settings, but the elf in front of her was an independent individual that already existed.

After a moment, Ye Bai suddenly came back to his senses: "Hello... I am Bai Ye."

At the same time, she used Insight on the Elf Queen in front of her.

[Elf King Ainolucia]

Level: 1? ?

Health: ??? / ???

Skills: Emerald Dream, ???, ???

weakness:? ? ? ,? ? ?

The gods were above level 100, and the Elf Queen in front of him was actually the real Elf Queen... This result made Ye Bai inexplicably surprised.

After seeing the last ancient dragon die, the sea god Kraken starving to the point of separation of his spirit and body, and the devil of purgatory being cursed and imprisoned in this depressed world of gods, seeing a king of a top race in good condition and able to communicate was enough to make Ye Bai feel a little "flattered".

At this time, the light spots guiding Ye Bai had already flown towards Ino Lucia, circling around her affectionately and jumping playfully.

She smiled indulgently, letting them fall on her shoulders and hair, and nodded to Ye Bai: "I understand why you are here. The other key you are looking for is at the top of the Tree of Life."

Ye Bai followed Ino Lucia's words and looked upwards.

However, the Tree of Life is too tall and too big, and it also has a layer of dreamy leaves made of pure life energy, so it is impossible to see what is happening above from here.

Subconsciously, Ye Bai, who was already thinking about the task, asked: "What do I need to do to get the key?"

Hearing this, Inollucia tilted her head slightly and blinked her icy blue eyes in confusion: "Of course not, I will take you up. You are the messenger of the God King, and I have been waiting for your arrival."

"Really?" I can complete the task without doing anything?

It was so relaxing that Ye Bai wondered if she was dreaming... Oh, to be precise, she was indeed 'dreaming' now.

"Of course." Ino Lucia was very friendly and didn't mind Ye Bai's doubts. She smiled and nodded: "If you need, I can take you up now. The other two above will also help you."

"Wait... the other two of you?" Ye Bai grasped the strange information revealed in the Elf Queen's words.

"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you." Inolusia seemed to have just remembered this and immediately explained to Ye Bai, "Because this dream is limited, even with the power of the Tree of Life, it is not easy to carry the entire Emerald Forest and the High Elves. So I split myself into three, one at the bottom, the middle, and the top of the Tree of Life."

"Because we are originally one, the three 'I's' will merge once they meet, so I can't send you there directly. But don't worry, you have the token of the God King, and the other me will also help you."

Split into three... After listening to Inollucia's explanation, Ye Bai suddenly realized that the elves who seemed to be normal also paid such a price.

"Those elves..." Ye Bai pointed at the light.

"It's what you think." Speaking of this, Inollucia's expression became noticeably downcast. She looked at the dots of light around her. "They returned their bodies to the Tree of Life and returned to their spiritual origins."

Sensing the king's emotions, the light spots immediately wrapped around her fingers, which were as white as fresh snow, and kept touching her to express comfort.

Inolucia finally cheered up and looked at Ye Bai: "It's good that you are finally here. When the God King left, he said that when the person with the other half of the key arrives, this great annihilation will end."

Catching two important pieces of information from the other party's words, Ye Bai immediately asked, "Do you remember when the God King left? Also, what is 'Great Annihilation'?"

Inollucia shook her head slightly. "It's impossible to confirm time in dreams. The God King came to the Emerald Forest, told me how to move the Emerald Forest into dreams, and then left. As for the Great Annihilation..."

Having said this, Inollucia paused and said, "I don't fully understand it either."

Seeing Ye Bai's questioning expression, Ino Lucia stretched out her hand and pointed, and a green sprout grew behind where Ye Bai was standing.

The green buds grew rapidly, forming a huge bud. Then the bud unfolded, and the soft petals and the core formed a natural seat. The leaves stretched to the front and turned into a coffee table.

"It's a long story, and I haven't seen guests from outside for a long time. Please sit down and talk slowly." As she spoke, a similar chair appeared behind Ino Lucia.

"That's great." Ye Bai, who was just about to get more information, nodded immediately and sat on the 'flower chair' with curiosity.

Aino Lucia saw Ye Bai sitting down, then looked at the empty 'coffee table' and thought of something: "Right."

The next moment, Ye Bai saw a mirror-like space channel appear next to the Elf Queen's hand. Through it, he could see the top of the Tree of Life, on which grew several crystal clear emerald-like fruits.

Inolucia pointed with her finger, and the emerald-like fruit flew out and landed on the green leaf coffee table next to Ye Bai.

Ye Bai took a deep breath after seeing the fruit. Of course she knew this thing. If a player joined the High Elves camp, this would be the item that would appear at the top of the reputation exchange list.

Fruit of the Tree of Life

Level: Mythic

Effect: Restore all health and psychic energy; health limit +4000; psychic energy limit +2000; all attribute limits +30; experience value +1000000.

Description: It embodies the essence of the Tree of Life and can only be given to guests who are respected by the elves.

As expected of the Queen of Elves, she is so generous in every move!

In an instant, Ye Bai's favorability towards the beautiful elf in front of him grew rapidly again, and he felt that he had been conquered by the other party.

"Ahhh!"

At this moment, a donkey's bray was heard, and Ottophis tilted his head and looked at Inollucia with his dark eyes wide open.

"Oh, sorry, I almost forgot we had another guest."

After a slight pause, Inolucia smiled and moved her fingers again. Then, a coffee table with green leaves like Ye Bai appeared in front of Ottophis, and then another fruit from the Tree of Life flew onto it.

Ottophis happily called out to Inollucia to express his gratitude, then moved forward and nibbled the fruit of the Tree of Life in small bites, his eyes showing an intoxicated look.

This was the first time Ye Bai saw Ottophis eat something other than swallowing it in one gulp, which shows how extraordinary he is.

Seeing this, Ye Bai also carefully picked up the emerald-like fruit of the Tree of Life. Before she got close, she smelled a fragrance that lifted her spirits.

"Crack..."

Ye Bai slowly took a bite of the fruit of the Tree of Life, and then closed his eyes like Ottophis. The taste was so wonderful that it was hard to describe.

When she came to her senses and opened her eyes again, her hands were empty. The fruit of the Tree of Life had been eaten without her noticing.

The system prompt also sounded at the same time:

[You have consumed a 'Tree of Life Fruit', Health Limit +4000; Psychic Limit +2000; All Attribute Limits +30; Experience Points +1,000,000]

[You gain the temporary special effect 'Life Surge': Increases your health and energy recovery speed by 200% within 24 hours.]

All the attributes gained from the various legendary mutant foods that Ye Bai and Ottophis had eaten along the way in the periphery were not as good as those gained from a fruit of the Tree of Life. Its effect was even greater than the enhancement that Ye Bai had obtained from his current upgrade.

After finishing his meal, Ye Bai came back to his senses, looked at the smiling Elf Queen, thanked her for her hospitality, and continued to ask about his previous doubts.

Inollucia took a moment to organize her words. "The God King told me about the Great Annihilation: the world's 'balance' has been broken. If every race does not control itself, all life will gradually meet an unknown end at an unknown time."

"Unknowable moments, unknown endings..." Ye Bai chewed on this sentence again and again, feeling that he had caught some vague thoughts, and then asked: "Then how can we achieve self-control?"

"We are now the result of this control," Inollucia said. "Since the Emerald Forest moved into the Dream Realm, aside from returning the body of the Tree of Life, no new elves have been born among the elves until now."

Ye Bai was stunned. This kind of decisive control method was no longer a fantasy version of "family planning"...

Moreover, the Elf Queen actually did what the God King said without fully understanding the "Great Annihilation". It seems that she trusts the other party very much.

Immediately, Ye Bai suddenly thought of being moved to the deep sea in the middle layer of Purgatory. When it comes to such self-control, Purgatory is definitely the most difficult group to achieve, without a doubt, because the essence of Purgatory's core is to continuously breed and generate Purgatory creatures.

That's why the God King placed the Deep Sea and Kraken in Purgatory. Was it to restrict the power of Purgatory as soon as it revived?

The more Ye Bai thought about it, the closer he felt to the truth. So, was the God King's treasure hiding a solution to the Great Annihilation? If there was a solution, why didn't the God King solve the problem the moment it arose?

Ye Bai continued to ask about more distant details: "Did the God King come to you after the invasion of Purgatory?"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Inollucia was suddenly startled: "Purgatory... has it invaded us? Why don't I remember this happening?"

This reaction also stunned Ye Bai. She frowned, and for a moment, speculation and suspicion flashed through her mind. Could it be that the paper man was lying about this matter? But then she thought again, it didn't make sense, because the branch of life hanging around her waist was plucked from the wound of the Purgatory Demon.

Looking at the Elf Queen whose face showed a genuine look of doubt, Ye Bai suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of something.

"...Could it be that your memory has also split into three?"

Inollucia was shocked, then suddenly realized: "Yes! You are right, that's it! So that's it, it turns out that Purgatory invaded us before..."

Ye Bai: “…”

It turned out that the Elf Queen in front of him was not normal, just like the other kings. Although she was kind and communicative, she only had memories of a certain period of time.

But then, Ye Bai saw the great benefits that came from the Elf Queen's forgetfulness.

"Oh, I almost forgot!" Inollucia pounded her palms as if she suddenly remembered something: "I forgot to entertain the guests."

As she spoke, a space channel opened up next to her again, just like before.

The next moment, two fruits of the Tree of Life fell in front of Ye Bai and Ottophis again.

Looking at the emerald-like mythical fruit in front of him, Ye Bai's conscience really wanted to say, "You have already entertained us just now." However, Ottophis next to him was faster. Before she could open her mouth -

"Crunch, crunch...Ah!" Ottoface finished the meal happily and expressed his gratitude vividly.

Inollucia looked at Ottoface with a smile: "You're welcome."

Ye Bai then lost his conscience: "Thank you very much! Snap, snap..."
