Chapter 162

Because of the queen's forgetfulness, Ye Bai and Ottophis were lucky enough to eat the second fruit of the Tree of Life.

Ye Bai's various attributes also experienced a surge. After eating two fruits from the Tree of Life, he gained a total of 8,000 health points and 4,000 spiritual energy points.

Before this, the fish that Ye Bai, who was level 63, ate in the deep sea and the fruits that he ate outside the Emerald Forest only added up to a health value of more than 7,000 and a spiritual energy value of more than 3,000.

After eating two mythical fruits, Ye Bai's health bar and blue bar doubled. Not counting the blue bar and various attribute additions, just taking the health bar as an example, her health bar is now more than that of the meat shield profession of the same level.

However, even the fruit of the Tree of Life must follow the rule of disposable items. It is impossible to keep brushing it. If you eat the third one, the various benefits will begin to decrease.

Of course, when initially considering adding this item to the faction exchange, the possibility that players could afford to exchange it for a second Tree of Life Fruit was not considered... Ye Bai had never thought that such a bug could be encountered in such an easy way.

After eating the fruit, Ye Bai looked at Ino Lucia a little embarrassedly and continued to ask, "Can I know how far your memory lasts?"

"Of course, if you hadn't reacted, I wouldn't have realized this." Inollucia pondered, "I should have retained all the memories after the split. As for the memories before that, the Purgatory invasion period you mentioned and even earlier, they should be with the two me above."

Ye Bai nodded, looking thoughtful.

In other words, the God King came to find the Elf Queen, and then the Queen moved the entire Emerald Forest into the dream, all of which happened after the invasion of Purgatory.

Combined with what Ye Bai had seen of Purgatory, Purgatory invaded the Emerald Forest. After a fierce battle, the Demon God of Purgatory was seriously injured and returned to Purgatory. The God King should have moved the deep sea to the mezzanine of Purgatory after that.

After thinking for a while, Ye Bai asked Aino Lucia again: "Before the invasion of Purgatory, didn't the God King notice this matter?"

In the divine world, the meaning of the God King is not just an honorary title of the strongest in the entire map, but one must truly conquer all the top tribes and gain their recognition to become the God King.

The event of Purgatory invading the Emerald Forest is like a feudal dynasty where one of its vassal states suddenly launches a war against another, and the suzerain state only comes to clean up the mess afterwards.

Regardless of the causes and consequences behind it, it at least shows one thing - the prestige and control of the God King over the various races at that time were no longer sufficient.

"The God King..." Inollucia began, and her tone seemed to be about to begin a long story.

Ye Bai immediately listened carefully.

Inollucia: “…”

Ye Bai looked up as if he sensed something, and sure enough, he saw that the Elf Queen's face, which looked intelligent and beautiful, once again showed a confused expression.

"Let me think..."

"Well……"

Finally, with her memories completely blank, Ino Lucia gave up struggling. She raised her icy blue eyes and looked at Ye Bai honestly: "...I can't remember."

"It doesn't matter!" Ye Bai said immediately, expressing her understanding. After all, she didn't want the queen to remember that she had already treated her to the fruit of the tree of life twice.

So Ye Bai changed the subject and asked, "What other memories do you have of the Divine King?"

"He helped me transfer the Emerald Forest into the dream world and asked me to keep the other key safe and wait for your arrival to give it to you. That is the time to end the Great Annihilation." Inollucia's memory of this part was very clear.

Ye Bai thought for a moment and asked, "What is the God King like? Do you remember His name?"

"What kind of..."

Ino Lucia pondered for a moment, and finally gave an answer that Ye Bai did not expect:

“He is confused.”

Ye Bai was stunned: Confused?

Inollucia nodded slightly, lost in her memories. "It wasn't just Him. At that time, I also felt lost... or rather, hesitant. Even though I don't remember why I felt hesitant now, I can still remember the emotions I felt back then."

"As for the God King's name... I don't remember it now, but..." At this point, Inollucia frowned slightly, but said in a firm tone: "I should have known His name."

Until he was sent to the middle level of the Tree of Life by Inollucia, all kinds of thoughts kept popping up in Ye Bai's mind.

If the Elf Queen's confusion and hesitation likely stemmed from concerns about the future of her race, then what was the reason for the God King's confusion? Was it the Great Annihilation that had never occurred?

But the content about the Great Annihilation was very vague, and Ye Bai really couldn't imagine what kind of disaster it was.

At the same time, Ye Bai also thought of the Purgatory Demon God whom he had caught a glimpse of in the deepest part of Purgatory.

The main reason why the opponent was unable to move and turned into a "large battery" was not only the branch of life that was one of the keys, but also the powerful curse that marked him as a "rebel."

There is no doubt that the Infernal Lord once led Purgatory to rebel against the God-King, and the invasion of the Emerald Forest was a specific event. Finally, from the mouth of the Elf Queen, it was basically confirmed that the God-King was very likely to have suppressed the Infernal Lord later.

But what Ye Bai was concerned about was who the "traitor" mentioned by the Infernal Devil was, and who betrayed whom.

Kraken was clearly following the God-King's arrangements to restrict the core of Purgatory, so how could a traitor be involved, and why did the other party hesitate to speak in the end?

What was the past identity of the paper figure who knew the God King's treasure? Was he the God King's enemy? Was he some backup plan left behind by Him? Or was he the mysterious God King?

Also, what does the magical Otophis beside me have to do with all this?

Thinking of this, Ye Bai's gaze subconsciously fell on Ottophis beside him.

Keenly aware that he was being watched, Ottophis turned around and gave Ye Bai a puzzled look on his donkey face.

Ye Bai: "Are you the God King?"

Ottophis: “?”

After receiving a speechless look from his mount, Ye Bai temporarily put aside all the puzzles that were puzzling him.

It just so happened that the place they were going to this time was the top of the Tree of Life, where they would meet all three elven queens. This NPC deity was kind, friendly, and hospitable (emphasis added). As long as they asked each of them what had happened in the past, Ye Bai could fill in the gaps himself based on the time.

At the moment, Ye Bai and Ottophis were still walking in the same forest as before.

Today's Emerald Forest is a special dream supported by the Tree of Life. The middle layer is not really made up of branches and trunks, but is also an independent space. Ye Bai was actually teleported up by the queen from the lower layer, and there is no need to really "climb the tree".

At this time, as his attention returned to the surrounding environment, Ye Bai suddenly discovered that the derivative plants growing on the middle ground were somewhat different from those on the bottom ground.

"Danger! Don't go near that."

Hearing Ye Bai's call, Ottophis stopped moving - it was originally sniffing a huge flytrap that could easily swallow it in one bite.

"The plants here are not suitable for eating," Ye Bai explained.

Ottophis could only regretfully withdraw his gaze from the crystal juice inside the leaves of the mutant Venus flytrap.

Perhaps because of the different dimensions, the plants on this floor are completely different from those on the lower floor, where there are many edible fruits with beneficial effects. Instead, at a glance, there are thorny vines, giant insect-catching plants, and brightly colored, ominous, and highly poisonous plants...all of which are plants with attack capabilities.

Especially under the nourishment of the Tree of Life, these attacking plants, like the exotic flowers and fruits in the lower layer, have been mutated and strengthened, and their damage has doubled.

Even though Ye Bai's health has now exceeded 10,000, he doesn't want to try to fall into these 'plant traps'.

Fortunately, just like before in the lower level, after walking for a while, Ye Bai encountered the branches of the Tree of Life, and the elves who had now turned into light spots quickly discovered her.

"I feel the power of the Branch of Life... Important guest, please come in."

The light flickered, and the familiar and pleasant voice of the Elf Queen Inollucia was heard from inside. Compared with the queen of the lower level, the tone of the queen of the middle level was more serious. It was still gentle, but with a bit more majesty.

Ye Bai, who had already had this experience, took Ottophis and followed the elves. The dangerous plants on the road automatically separated, and she finally didn't have to avoid them by herself.

Soon, Ye Bai and Ottophis, as before, approached the center of the middle space, where the Tree of Life was located.

There stood a figure in a white dress, with blonde hair and blue eyes, elegant and beautiful. It was Aino Lucia, whom Ye Bai had just said goodbye to.

Her eyes fell on Ye Bai, and the elf queen, who looked more serious, showed a familiar and friendly smile.

However, suddenly, the tip of Inollucia's ear twitched, and the corners of her mouth, which had been raised, stopped.

Her gaze on Ye Bai suddenly became cold, and her ice-blue eyes darkened visibly, as if a storm was gathering, and a terrifying aura rose from her.

The elves who had led Ye Bai before seemed to have received a call. They quickly dodged to the side and stayed away from her when Ye Bai was still confused about the situation.

"The breath of Purgatory... The damned Purgatory rebel actually stole the key and sneaked into the Emerald Forest!"

As she spoke, the white dress on Inollucia changed, becoming a set of elven-style armor. The elven queen, who had been elegant, kind, and hospitable before, showed Ye Bai a terrifying health bar that was completely in line with the identity of a god-level BOSS.
