Chapter 288 War is inevitable. These are clearly nine demigods!
"Your Majesty! The intelligence officer has brought the latest news: after discussion, the human race has decided to launch an attack again!" Peng Peng'an reported solemnly.
Shu Xin was not surprised by this.
Even though the former king, Ganar, also known as Lilita, declared the connection between the former primordial elves, now the river elves, and the survival of the world before her own annihilation, the former orcish naked apes, now humans, clearly understand the meaning of their past actions. The humans who came to attack the river elves also understand the meaning of their current actions. They will continue to fight, at most with one or a few more waves of humans trying to intercept them.
But she couldn't help but sigh: "I understand. Let's prepare for the battle as planned."
This war was inevitable.
There will always be humans who want to control the River Elves, and it's not just humans. After all, with the survival of the River Elves directly linked to the life and death of the continent of Lefra, protecting the River Elves to ensure the continuation of their race is one way, and completely imprisoning them is another.
The river spirits naturally needed to demonstrate their power—and, coincidentally, they were indeed quite powerful.
Peng Peng'an acknowledged and turned to arrange the preparations for the battle.
Shu Xin watched the military officer leave, her gaze falling on the elf's bright red hair, which reminded her of Lilita's equally fiery red hair. She couldn't help but sigh again.
Ganar bears a large part of the responsibility for the tragic lives of the flower fairies in the Kingdom of Ganar for over three thousand years. However, when Shu Xin learns that Ganar, as the king, is actually just a five-year-old child forced to mature, she finds it difficult to criticize a child who has endured so much for over three thousand years. To be honest, Lilita has done her best...
If it were Shu Xin, the continent of Lefra would have perished along with her family three thousand years ago!
...The flower fairies' suffering over the past three thousand years has not been in vain. Thinking of this, Shu Xin stood up and raised her hand to create a spatial rift in front of her—the hidden space that was once filled with white mist was now only an endless blue sky.
She stepped inside and immediately saw the green buds growing in the sky, their tender leaves unfurling.
Around this slender little green sprout, there are nine glittering points of light. These nine points of light are the light cocoons that were previously suspended on the withered mother tree. Perhaps because the newborn mother tree is too small, the light cocoons that were originally more than a person tall have become very tiny points of light.
Each of these points of light represents a former flower fairy. Each flower fairy was able to survive and grow in the increasingly harsh magical environment by relying on the magic tax provided by the flower fairies year after year.
Actually, Shu Xin didn't quite understand when Lilita explained the relationship between the flower fairies in the cocoon of light and the rules of magic. However, before Lilita decisively destroyed herself with the divine essence of the fallen creator god, she handed over the throne of the Kingdom of Ganar to Shu Xin. This made Shu Xin go from "Princess" to "Your Majesty" after leaving the hidden space. Naturally, she also took over everything that the Kingdom of Ganar had, including the nine flower fairies who had never appeared from beginning to end.
Then Shu Xin was utterly astonished to discover that these were not flower fairies at all, but clearly nine demigods!
The demigods are not the highest level of power among these nine individuals, but rather the highest level of power that this continent, on the verge of collapse and dying, can sustain.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to raise a demigod by simply piling up magic power. But the River Elves are different. Only now did Shu Xin begin to understand Lilita's explanation. The existence of each River Elf represents the existence of a magical rule. Other races have various thresholds to understand, use, and master magical rules, but for the magical rules themselves, their existence is enough.
This means that as the River Elves population grows, the carrying capacity of this vibrant continent will continue to increase, and the strength of these nine will also continue to increase. If the continent of Lefra recovers to the point where it can accommodate gods, these nine will obviously be gods, and gods who specifically protect the River Elves!
Previously, the flower fairies had to pay magic taxes to support the flower fairies responsible for stabilizing their own magical rules because the magical environment was too harsh. However, after Shu Xin arrived, the flower fairies' living conditions changed dramatically, and the overall magical environment improved significantly. In addition, a new Mother Tree of Life has been born, so these nine flower fairies no longer need to rely on magic taxes to stabilize themselves.
To be precise, after the magical environment was greatly improved, the flower fairies no longer needed the magic tax. In fact, it was precisely because of this that King "Ganar" did not react to Shuxin's move to abolish the magic tax.
The reason they did not appear was the same as the reason why the immortal beings fell into slumber. However, just as the immortal beings who sensed some changes when Shu Xin completely fought against the so-called "outer continent monster tide" could cast their gaze through illusions, these nine flower fairies had also sent a message to Shu Xin through the then Mother Tree of Life.
Although the message was quite enigmatic, Shu Xin initially misinterpreted it, thinking that the nine flower fairies had been imprisoned by King "Ganar".
...It has to be said that this magical world is still a bit too magical for Shu Xin.
It was precisely because she was aware of the existence of these nine demigod-level flower fairies that Shu Xin was able to remain calm and composed in the face of the overwhelming human army, showing that she was not afraid at all.
Although all the demons in the existing material planes were transformed into primordial elves by Lilita, their originally incredibly powerful combat strength, which was due to mixed bloodlines and chaotic rules, was almost completely reduced to nothing. The military strength of the Garnar Kingdom was arguably halved. When Shu Xin saw these nine tiny points of light, she still felt a strong sense of security, after all, it was equivalent to nine nuclear weapons!
After visiting the nine nuclear demigods, Shu Xin returned to the Flower Castle with peace of mind.
After becoming queen, Shu Xin could clearly feel that her strength had greatly increased. She could never have opened a spatial passage with her bare hands before. The most convenient thing was that she could now teleport directly to her destination without using a teleportation array. The teleportation range could even cover the entire continent of Lefra!
To be honest, Shu Xin had considered launching a "decapitation operation," but considering the countless nobles and royal families among the human race, it wouldn't be worthwhile for her to just teleport back and forth to kill people, especially since there would be another one after she killed one. She knew all too well the inherent flaws of humanity, so she didn't bring up the plan for the time being.
Shu Xin's fairy-like antennae and overly ornate wings on her back were all gone. At this moment, she looked no different from other riverside elves, except that the sparkling special effects on her body were still there, and she also had a sparkling crown on her head.
This crown is actually quite simple, just a branch with tender green leaves wrapped in a circle, but the soft and holy magical glow is very noticeable. Every elf who sees this simple crown will immediately realize that it is the crown of a king.
Shu Xin tried it; the crown was like a projection, she couldn't touch it, so she couldn't take it off. She could only wear it on her head. Concealment magic couldn't hide it. Fortunately, confusion magic was still effective, otherwise it would really interfere with her daily data collection...
Aside from this minor annoyance, Shu Xin's daily work and life were not much different from before. After learning that the Land of Sin was the former location of the Mother Tree of Life, Shu Xin renamed it the Land of Life and moved back in. Everything was familiar, except that her familiar companions were no longer there.
The stream has disappeared again.
