In the center of the Lost Island, there is an ancient tree that blocks out the sun and seems to be directly connected to the curtain of eternal night.
Like the ruins of the ancient Dragon King's Court, a secondary dimensional plane is also hidden in the branches of the World Tree on the Lost Island.
Moreover, it is different from the ruins of the ancient dragon king's court.
There, the master, the golden dragon, was already half-crazy, the entire secondary plane was in ruins, and there was no real guardian, so Char could enter at will.
However, this small world made up of the remains of the world tree clearly has an owner.
Everywhere there are ripples of divinity and law, vaguely revealing a solemn ancient mystery.
With black iron shackles on his hands, Xia followed the elven legend in front of him, spiraling up step by step along the trunk of the huge world tree.
Suddenly, his steps paused.
Char looked back through the gaps between the lush branches and leaves of the World Tree, towards the direction of the Royal Court under the World Tree.
...
...
The top of the originally dim and dark royal palace tower suddenly burst into a dazzling light.
The light and heat that were expressed without reservation illuminated the curtain of eternal night.
Even the galaxy of pseudo-stars above the Lost Island had its light temporarily obscured.
You can see it even if you are halfway across the Lost Island.
As expected, you are Master-chan.
Char felt the vast energy fluctuations coming from afar, and his heart couldn't help but move slightly.
Although compared to the black tower "Eternal Page" he will know in the future, the current Hathaway is undoubtedly much younger and more immature.
However, her brilliant talent cannot be faked.
Even before, for many reasons, Hathaway still had some unrealistic fantasies about the Lost Island, the elves and her colleagues in the council.
However, when she finally came to her senses, the enemies in the council chamber were no longer able to restrain her.
"Come to think of it, can this be considered as helping Master-chan awaken?"
Xia thought to himself.
However, just this is not enough.
Relying on the power of arcane and magic, Hathaway may be able to compete with the entire Elf King's Court on her own.
However, it was just as Char guessed in his heart and gradually verified his hypothesis after entering the Lost Island.
To put it bluntly, the elves in the council on the Lost Island are just chess pieces played by the chess master behind the scenes.
And the real source of darkness is an even more powerful existence.
To describe it as a god may not be quite appropriate.
He is the creator of the entire glorious era, the original creator named after the sun.
Although according to rumors, the ancient god had already fallen long ago, and even the catastrophe itself was caused by his fall.
However, even an ordinary legend has an extremely tenacious vitality and will never die easily.
As for the existence of the true God in this realm, it is like a centipede that is about to die but still exists. Even if it is completely annihilated, it is possible that it will return from the depths of the distant star realm.
What’s more, he is the Creator who is above ordinary true gods and has ruled an entire era.
It is normal to have some backup plans.
…
"what happens?"
Beside Char, the elf legend also noticed something unusual.
He turned back in astonishment, looking at the clear and dazzling light in the distance, with a hint of confusion in his eyes, but he still could not understand the real origin of that dazzling light.
"Really don't need to go back and take a look?"
The Elven Legend heard the chuckle of the boy next to him.
"If I'm not mistaken, your hometown may have been overturned."
“Arrogant.”
The elven legend couldn't help but frown slightly.
It's strange to say, because it was obviously Char who was the prisoner and was already wearing black iron shackles that restricted his supernatural powers.
Logically speaking, he no longer had the ability to resist.
If the Lord had not suddenly changed his mind and issued a decree to bring him to the small world of the world tree fragments, this alien named Xia would have been executed.
But the feeling that Char gave him was that he had no self-awareness of being a prisoner at all.
It was as if the two people's identities had been swapped, and the other party was the one holding the initiative.
However, Xia's words also made the elven legend feel a little uneasy.
According to the agreement of the remaining eight elders in the council chamber, when the next council chamber meeting begins, it will be the time to confront Hathaway.
In addition to himself who was responsible for escorting Char, the remaining seven elders of the Council were also legends.
With careful planning, sneak attacks and the assistance of various holy relics including the Heavenly Chain, it should be a sure win to deal with the golden elf, and there shouldn't be any accidents.
But, as Char said.
The bright flash and the energy shock released from the Senate Tower made him feel a palpitation even though they were separated by half a Lost Island.
It was as if something catastrophic had really happened there.
His expression changed slightly and he was about to speak.
But then, the face of this elven legend suddenly became ecstatic.
In an instant.
Xia felt a lofty will suddenly descending into the small world formed by the branches of the trees in this world.
“Lord, you are resurrected.”
The elven legend's words became respectful.
But then, his expression suddenly changed from ecstasy and respect to panic.
"You mean, you're going to come upon me..."
He hadn't finished speaking yet.
The next moment, the unfinished words came to an abrupt end.
The elf's expression was changing rapidly.
From respect, to fear... to anger and unwillingness, and then to indifference.
After a few breaths, the other party's confused expression disappeared.
Although it is still the legendary body of the elves.
However, what was revealed in the other's eyes no longer had any of the charm of the previous elven legend.
Instead, there is only the distant, lofty, unobservable and unfathomable indifference and divinity.
Some kind of lofty will replaced the legendary consciousness of the elves and took over his body.
"Although I've noticed it before, this is the first time we've officially met."
Xia looked at the elf figure in front of him and raised his eyebrows.
"What should I call you?"
"Elf King?"
"Or maybe the Sun God... the Creator?"
"Human."
"You are more interesting than I thought."
Char felt that lofty will lower his gaze and fix it on himself. The legend of the elves, no, at this moment it would be more appropriate to describe him as the incarnation of the sun god.
He stared at Xia like this, and his voice sounded like the ringing of an ancient bronze bell.
"Humans, this is a race that was ignored by me and all mythical creatures during the Era of Glory."
"I don't have a strong body, nor a long life."
"Although they have a fairly good and commendable intelligence, they are not outstanding among many intelligent races."
"But now I have to admit that I was wrong."
"Such a race as humble as an ant can actually produce an interesting individual like you."
"What a condescending way of speaking."
"It really suits your status."
Listening to the other party's lofty, indifferent, and emotionless words, Xia couldn't help but smile slightly.
"really."
"We humans have neither sharp teeth nor sharp claws, nor do we have a strong body."
"There is no one who is born with the ability to control the elements and is born with the talent of a mythical species."
"As you said, they are just a weak race as humble as ants."
"But, having said that—"
"You who think you are so high and mighty, didn't you also fall to earth like us during that catastrophe?"
The sarcasm implied in Shayana's words did not cause the descending incarnation of the sun god to cause the slightest ripple.
“It was a failed attempt.”
The elf possessed by Gao Yuan's will spoke indifferent words.
"Because of my lack of experience, I used to recklessly gather divinity and authority, or directly plunder them from other mythical creatures."
“I believe that as long as I accumulate enough divinity and authority, the accumulated divinity will change from quantity to quality… and help me complete the last step on the road to godhood, surpassing the so-called mythical creatures and the so-called true gods.”
"Let the essence of life complete its final evolution and advance to a higher realm that no living being has ever reached."
"However, I overlooked one thing at that time——"
"That is, the number of divine powers and authorities is too large, and the conflicts and confusion between them will cause chaos and madness once they exceed the limits of control."
"The existence of ancient dragons, giants, and elves is an experiment of mine."
"I transferred the authority that I could not contain and was on the verge of losing control to an entire race through blood."
"But, maybe it's because I discovered it too late."
"Although the existence of the three royal courts slowed down my progress of losing control, it ultimately could not completely reverse it."
“So much so that I had no choice but to abandon my previous divine body and completely detonate all the redundant divinity and authority that were on the verge of losing control in my old divine body.”
"That is, what you call the 'Great Cataclysm'. ”
The voice of the incarnation of the sun god is neither sad nor happy.
It was as if the disaster had affected the entire Western Continent and had lasted for thousands of years without interruption.
It caused countless races to fall into a crazy disaster of killing each other, but it was really just an experiment as he said.
“It’s really high and mighty.”
There was no longer the previous lightheartedness in Char's words.
He was not born in this era and had never experienced the catastrophe personally, so naturally he could not fully understand the despair of those who had experienced the catastrophe.
However, even just from the ruined ancient dragon court, the half-crazy golden dragon, and Hathaway's statement, he could already glimpse the tip of the iceberg.
The pain of losing relatives and friends and being eaten by one’s own people.
All the beauty that had originally existed no longer existed after the catastrophe.
There is also the persistence and watchfulness that has been maintained for a thousand years under the cover of darkness on the edge of chaos and loss of control.
All of this.
However, the gods before them simply brushed them off with a casual remark: "a failed experiment."
It seemed as if he could see through what Char was thinking.
Soon, the indifferent voice sounded again.
"I can understand what you are thinking. Before I became a true god, I also had similar worries and entanglements."
"But if you reach my level and have the same height and vision as me—"
"You will understand that everything you think about at this moment is meaningless."
"No matter how many times the experiment fails, as long as there is one success, then the sacrifice of the previous test subjects will be meaningful."
"Just like that glorious era praised by countless souls, as long as I can take that last step, I can create an eternal glorious era praised by all souls at any time."
"To use temporary sacrifices and disasters to exchange for eternal peace and a prosperous civilization is undoubtedly more meritorious than detrimental, no matter how strict the standards are."
"Even the previous sacrifices may not be irreparable."
He looked down at Xia indifferently, without any emotion.
"According to my speculation, if I can truly take that final step, transcending the realm of mythical creatures and reaching a new level above the true God."
"Then, even time itself can no longer be a constraint."
“I can completely ignore the inertia and correction power of history and rewrite everything in the past at will.”
"By then, the pasts of those who were victims of all previous failed experiments will be rewritten, and they will survive intact."
"They won't even know that they died, and there won't be any memory of the disaster left."
He looked at Xia: "So, what you are entangled in--"
"It's just some meaningless, illusory things."
"A dream, a bubble..."
Char repeated in his mind the words spoken by the incarnation of the sun god.
In his mind, he once again recalled the ruined ancient dragon king's court.
I recalled the half-crazy golden dragon's thousand-year persistence and the relieved look in its eyes before it finally passed away.
Also, when he and Hathaway first met in the dimensional void, the light that lit up in the golden elf girl's dim eyes.
Are these things nothing but meaningless illusions?
"So, why are you telling me these things?"
Char spoke softly as he looked at the elf legend who was deified by the great being above him.
"Why are you telling me so much?"
"Because I like you very much."
"Even though they are of a very insignificant race, humans can reach such a state."
"Moreover, the power called magic that you use can actually achieve a power similar to that I had when I was the Sun God without involving any authority or divinity."
Those indifferent words did not conceal his interest and admiration for Char at all.
"The failure of the previous cataclysm is unimportant."
“The experience of past failures can be applied to the next time.”
The indifferent gaze dropped.
“Become one with me.”
"I will let you experience a higher level of status, a glory that you will never be able to experience in your entire life, overlooking all living things."
“That is your glory and also my gift.”
