"No! You've been awakened! Look!"
The elven elder's divine sense pointed to the surrounding crystal domes.
Chu Wanwan turned her head and saw that the tendrils that had extended from the ancient tree had all retracted. The ancient tree, which had been shimmering with a faint green light, began to wither after all the tendrils had retracted.
The green leaves slowly turned yellow and fell from the tree, and the branches gradually became gray and lifeless. Meanwhile, the little fairies that had been covered by the crystal dome had all awakened.
They looked around blankly, seemingly trying to recall their situation.
"What happened? We didn't do anything! How did we wake them all up?!"
Chu Wanwan looked seriously at the little elves slowly walking towards them, feeling as if she had made a big mistake.
The demons outside haven't been completely eliminated! If these little guys wake up, won't they surely die?
“You don’t need to do anything! You yourself are the key to awakening them,” the elder elven spirit said slowly.
Chu Wanwan stared at him in astonishment, "Me?"
"It's you! Ten thousand years ago, I exhausted my cultivation to foresee this scene today. You will be the only hope of the elven realm, so I left behind this key and this divine consciousness, waiting for your arrival." The elder elven's voice gradually weakened, as if it would dissipate at any moment.
"I'm just a kid, and I don't have many abilities. What can I do?"
Chu Wanwan asked, puzzled.
"You don't need to do anything deliberately, everything is already destined! You're still confused because the time isn't right yet! The child doesn't need to feel pressured, just do what you want..."
After saying those words, the divine consciousness became even more transparent, as if it were about to dissipate at any moment.
"Children, the fate of the elven world rests entirely on her shoulders. You must listen to her and do not stop her no matter what decision she makes..."
"Lord of the Realm! We understand!"
"Father... are you leaving too? Ya'er will miss you..."
"Ya'er... Father is gone. You are the new ruler of the Elf Realm. Remember, that child is the only hope for the survival of the Elf Realm!"
As soon as he finished speaking, that wisp of divine consciousness completely dissipated into the air.
"Father!"
"Lord of the Realm..."
"..."
For a moment, the cries of the elven children rose and fell, they all seemed still reeling from the shock of their divine consciousness dissipating. Chu Wanwan and Wuyouzi also stood silently in place, their hearts filled with respect for this great elven elder.
After a while, the little elf named Ya'er walked up to Chu Wanwan. She was wearing a moon-white robe and had long, flaxen curly hair draped over her shoulders. She looked as delicate and lovely as a porcelain doll.
Her eyes were filled with tears, but she tried her best to remain strong.
"Are you the child the Realm Lord mentioned? You look younger than me. I'm four years old, how about you?" she asked.
Chu Wanwan nodded. "I think it should be me. I'm five years old this year!"
"Sure enough, human children aren't very tall!" Ya'er blinked her big eyes, looking at Chu Wanwan with curiosity. "But she's very pretty, almost as pretty as Ya'er!"
Chu Wanwan looked at the arrogant Ya'er, her lips twitching. This girl, she just lost her father, how come she's already trying to outdo her in beauty? With a realm lord like this, can the Elf Realm still have a future?
Chu Wanwan inwardly grumbled, but showed no sign of it on her face.
“My name is Ya’er, and I am the new ruler of this realm. Although Father entrusted us to you, I feel that this is not something a child like you can handle! So if you want to leave, we will not force you to stay.” Ya’er looked at Chu Wanwan and said seriously.
Upon hearing this, Chu Wanwan smiled slightly, understanding Ya'er's concerns. After all, she was only a five-year-old girl, and it was indeed incredible that she had to shoulder the hopes of the entire elven world.
"Don't worry, I value my life. If I can do it, I'll do it for you! If I can't, I won't force you!" Chu Wanwan said with a smile.
"Okay! That's good, so I won't feel guilty if you accidentally die!"
Ya'er nodded, seemingly satisfied with Chu Wanwan's answer.
Although she was young, as the new world lord, she knew that she had a great responsibility and could not easily entrust the future of the elf world to a child. If this child died, she would feel guilty!
Even though she herself is a child...
"You're quite a nice little elf. By the way, how many of you are there in total?"
Chu Wanwan looked at the densely packed little elves surrounding her and asked.
Most of these elves were taller than her, but considering that even four-year-old Ya'er was a head taller than her, these elves must not be very old.
"Five thousand three hundred people, all of them are magical geniuses selected from the elven world. They are all at the third level of magic, equivalent to the Ascension Realm in the Celestial Realm," Ya'er said proudly.
My father said that among the elves, apart from not being able to compare with the gods, their aptitude was the best.
They are basically born with a cultivation level equivalent to that of an immortal.
"You are all at the Ascension Realm? Then what realm was that wisp of divine consciousness at just now?"
Chu Wanwan asked curiously.
"Father is at the ninth level of magic, which is equivalent to the Chaos Realm in your Immortal Realm, a half-step divine body!"
Ya'er said proudly.
"Huh? Chaos Realm? Even Chaos Realm experts can't deal with demons? So you want me to save your Elf Realm? That's giving me way too much credit!" Chu Wanwan said in surprise, clearly shocked by the information.
