Chapter 289 The Antidote Mushroom Needs More Care Than Just Inheriting the Throne…
Shu Xin never expected that Xi would reappear so quickly—
Shu Xin was in the dungeon at the time. Because all the hybrids who came to the material plane had been transformed from demons into primordial elves by the former king "Ganar", Shu Xin was worried that they would not be able to adapt to this change, so she came to the dungeon more frequently.
The former hybrids adapted well to their new race. Shu Xin thought they would be terrified and uneasy because they had lost the power that came with their mixed bloodline, but in fact, the opposite was true; they were all happy.
Shu Xin used confusion magic to inquire carefully in the dungeon and quickly figured out why.
It turns out that many of the complex bloodlines within hybrids are mutually exclusive, such as harpies and griffins. Some bloodlines are not inherently contradictory, but the powers they inherit conflict with each other, such as ice dragons and fire dragons.
Since these hybrid demon races can be born from elemental storms, they are naturally able to withstand such conflicts and oppositions. However, this does not mean that the pain and suffering brought about by conflicts and oppositions do not exist. It is like having sand in your shoes. You can still walk, but it is still really rubbing your feet.
The complex bloodlines within a hybrid's body are far less delicate and soft than the grains of sand in a shoe. After hearing their description, Shu Xin felt it was more like having ten thousand people yelling and screaming in her head, while a hundred thousand ants were crawling and biting everywhere inside her body.
Therefore, becoming a primordial elf and completely escaping the chaotic and mixed bloodline is a great joy in the eyes of hybrids.
The most excited of them all was probably Shan, because he had the blood of Cerberus and had three heads, each with its own consciousness. One of his heads was particularly stupid, as if it was underdeveloped. Now that the three consciousnesses had merged, he no longer had to argue with himself!
These primordial elves, transformed from demons, have had their power greatly weakened and their essence drastically changed. However, to the riverside elves, they seem not much different from before. After all, their appearance has not changed, and the magical fluctuations they emit are still incredibly violent. The biggest difference is that they are no longer keen on fighting.
Shu Xin felt that the reason why the mixed-blood demon race was so bloodthirsty and warlike was most likely due to the mental and physical chaos brought about by their mixed bloodlines.
In Shu Xin's perception, the magical rules corresponding to these primordial elves were very different from those of the riverside elves. It was like a few cacti growing out of a dandelion patch. That made sense, since they were all plants!
The Darkmoon Elves, who were originally a false race, are now a real and existing race. If the River Elves were previously divided into Flower Fairies and Flower Sprites, then now the Primal Elves are divided into Darkmoon Elves and River Elves.
Shu Xin hovered above the mushroom field, looking down as she watched the Darkmoon Elves cautiously use their newly acquired power—
This field is planted with antidote mushrooms, a rare magical crop with powerful detoxifying properties. Its growing environment not only requires abundant magic power, but also magic power containing potent toxins. Therefore, it has always been managed by demons whose magic power is poisonous.
The races have changed, and the nature of their magic has naturally changed as well. However, the magic of the Darkmoon Elves is still poisonous, even more so than when they were demons. Many of the antidote mushrooms have been poisoned to death!
Shu Xin originally came to check on the mental state of the former demons and now elves, but she found that the dead antidote mushrooms needed more care.
She had thought that after the demons transformed into elves, they would become as gentle and harmless as the river elves. Who would have thought that the Darkmoon Elves would be even more lethal? Shu Xin habitually asked the Tree of Life, only to realize after asking that the Tree of Life, which had always answered her questions, had perished along with Lilita.
The newly born mother tree is still in its growth stage. Shu Xin can feel that the life tree, which looks like a tender bud, is radiating extremely vigorous vitality. As long as there are living beings in this world, they will feel close to the life tree after seeing it, and they will also realize that this magical plant is the foundation for the continuation of this world.
In comparison, Shu Xin clearly realized that the wisdom and emotions possessed by the now-extinct Tree of Life were so unique.
...That is probably not something that the Tree of Life itself possesses, but rather a trait of Lilita, who has been in a long slumber.
Shu Xin did not get the answer from the newly born Tree of Life, but she still got the answer. The answer came very inexplicably, like a book that was open on a table. She did not see it at first, so she did not know what was written on the pages. When she noticed the book and turned her gaze to it, she naturally read the words on the pages.
When Shu Xin wondered why the Darkmoon Elves' magic was more poisonous than that of the Demons, she quickly realized that it was because the Demons' laws were too chaotic and conflicting, and they were constantly rejected by the material plane, so they could not exert normal law power. After transforming into the Primordial Elves, the previously mixed laws were sorted out and integrated, and they became stable. In addition, they were accepted by the material plane, so the power of their laws was fully manifested.
The problem is that despite her magical elf persona, she's just an ordinary human being at heart. No matter how you look at it, there's no way she could possibly know about magical laws or such!
After leaving the old site of the divine realm, which was a space filled with thick fog, Shu Xin came to the realization that the world seemed to be completely visible to her.
She can sense not only the emotional changes of all the river elves, but also the emotional changes of all intelligent life. She can sense not only the magical state of the Garnar Plains, but also the magical state of the entire Lefra continent!
Shu Xin tried it out, but in just a second, the overwhelming amount of information almost made her head explode. She quickly blocked out this perception, and after several attempts, she was able to gradually narrow down the range of her perception.
...She probably inherited not only the throne of "Ganar", but also some of "Ganar's" former abilities, right?
This incredibly magical ability allows Shu Xin to perceive things even while she's in the underground city, but her senses can cover the entire Land of Life. Beyond that distance, it won't work; it will give her a headache.
While keeping an eye on the flow of magic from the Darkmoon Elf below, Shu Xin also observed the life force of the Detoxifying Mushroom. Although she didn't know why, Shu Xin was certain that the magic toxin that the Darkmoon Elf had adjusted this time was still a bit too strong for the Detoxifying Mushroom. Sure enough, the Detoxifying Mushroom, which was already somewhat withered, shrank by more than half.
But this was already the mildest level of poison that the other party could adjust at the moment. Moreover, this Darkmoon Elf was the one who was most proficient in controlling her new power among all the Darkmoon Elves. Shu Xin thought that perhaps she could try other methods to dilute the poison in the Darkmoon Elf's magic. Just as she thought about it, five, six, seven or eight methods to dilute the poison instantly appeared in her mind.
It felt like a magical, all-powerful search engine had been transferred from the Tree of Life to her brain. Shu Xin couldn't help but sigh. Just as she was about to dispel the confusion spell so she could go down and communicate with the Dark Moon Elf, she suddenly sensed an uninvited guest, brimming with violent energy and carrying the laws of chaos, appearing on the territory of the Land of Life.
Shu Xin teleported over with considerable displeasure, blocking the stranger's path. Just as she was about to warn him, she was shocked to discover that this guest, who seemed to be full of malice, was actually Xi.
