Chapter 156 That is a certain future
With the Elf King's permission, Shu Li could go to the mainland for training in advance. He was very happy and felt so relaxed sitting in the small wooden tub.
The Elf King leaned against the steps at the edge of the pool, and like Shu Li, he had a wet towel on his head and closed his eyes to rest.
Shu Li's small wooden tub floated beside him. Every time he moved slightly, the water rippled and the small wooden tub rocked like a cradle. Instead of being bumpy, it made him drowsy.
After an unknown amount of time, Shu Li, half asleep and half awake, suddenly remembered an important question. He opened his eyes and looked up to the Elf King and asked, "King, are Horcruxes uncontrollable? Why do my experiences every time I travel through time and space seem random?"
I traveled through time by listening to elf poetry, and I also traveled through time by entering a teleportation array. Oh, by the way, there was another time when I prayed to the God of Light and saw a different king.
The Elf King took off the wet towel from his head and smoothed his hair with his slender fingers, revealing his smooth forehead. Without the forehead ornament and crown, it did not diminish his nobility at all.
"Since Horcruxes are the souls of the God of Time and Space, they possess self-awareness. Your current power is insufficient to control them."
"Is that so?" Shu Li touched the small flower crown on her head. "Then what level do I need to reach to fully control the Horcrux?"
If you successfully control the Horcrux, can you use it as you please?
For example, crossing space and returning to the original world.
"I can't give you a clear answer." The Elf King looked down at the goblin. "When the time comes, you will naturally master it."
This was a truly ambiguous answer, but Shu Li also knew that if even he, the master of the Horcrux, didn't know, how could the Elf King know? He hadn't used it.
"That's right!" Shu Li stretched out his hand and paddled the small wooden basin to bring it closer to the Elf King. He described to the Elf King in detail the tragic scene he had seen when he was praying in the temple before.
This "illusion" has been hidden in his heart all along, and he has never asked the Elf King for confirmation. Now he knows that the illusion is not an illusion, but the scene he saw when he really traveled through time and space. As the chosen master of the Horcrux, he feels it is necessary to ask the Elf King.
What exactly happened at that time, and when did it happen? Who was that fairy in his arms who looked a bit like him?
As he described, the Elf King's eyes became deeper and deeper, changing from emerald green to dark green, with a faint hint of crimson.
Shu Li was immersed in his memories and didn't notice the change in the Elf King's eyes at all. When he finished his narration and raised his head again, the Elf King's eyes had returned to their gem-like emerald green color.
"King, do you have this memory?" Shu Li couldn't help but clench his hands and looked at the Elf King expectantly.
The Elf King moved, the water rippled, and the small wooden basin floated outward. He stretched out his arms to catch it, and the small wooden basin remained in his arms.
"No." He said in a slightly low voice, "The scene you described is probably not the war of the gods ten thousand years ago."
Shu Li opened her mouth slightly in surprise: "No... isn't it?"
So many elves and goblins had sacrificed their lives, so many other races had perished in the battle, and in the ruined temple, only the blood-soaked Elf King remained. When he appeared, the Elf King, knowing full well that he was a goblin, pointed his sword at him, demanding to know if he was a monster created by the Dark God to deceive him.
The king, with bloodshot eyes, exudes a cold aura, making him wary of any creature that approaches him.
At that time, when I saw the Elf King and the dead young goblin in his arms, I felt extremely sad and couldn't stop crying.
The Elf King pondered and said, "The Horcrux Scott has the ability to change the future. What you saw may be a scene that will happen in the future."
"The future!" Shu Li was shocked.
I thought about it over and over again, but I never imagined that such a tragic battlefield would be in the future.
Yes, the king just said that the war of the gods is only the beginning of the prophecy, and the real dark moment has not yet arrived.
If what he saw when he prayed in the temple was the future, then it would explain why he looked like the dead young fairy.
Because that young fairy might be myself when I grow up!
Shu Li held her cheeks in horror, feeling worried.
"King...will we fail?"
He murmured, falling into panic, and the next second, a warm hand gently covered his head, soothing the uneasiness in his heart.
"The Horcrux allows you to see only one future, not all. You need not be afraid." The Elf King's fingertips touched the small flower crown on his head. "The future can be countless. Which direction it ultimately develops depends on you now. This is why the God of Time and Space sacrificed himself to refine the three Horcruxes."
Listening to the Elf King's low and powerful voice, Shu Li gradually calmed down, and the little flame of hope in his heart was ignited again.
I am really too naive. I start to get scared before anything happens. My willpower is not strong at all.
It still requires constant practice.
He nodded, regaining his confidence. He clasped one of the Elf King's fingers, his eyes sparkling. "King, I will make the future bright and beautiful. The God of Darkness had better stay in Hell. If he dares to come out, I'll smash his head off!"
Seeing that the little elf was in high spirits, the Elf King smiled gently.
Shu Li constantly built up his mental strength, motivated himself to become stronger, tried hard to survive, and was determined not to let the Elf King feel sad for him.
Remembering that he had mistaken the "dead young fairy" for the Elf King's "lover" and had asked Sia to confirm it, he felt embarrassed and wanted to dive into the pool.
He was the young disciple whom the king had carefully taught. His death in battle must have devastated the king. With so many of his people sacrificed outside, how could he have remained sane? It was a relief that he hadn't gone mad.
After the conversation, the elf and the fairy continued to soak in the hot spring comfortably. Suddenly, two deafening roars of beasts were heard outside.
Shu Li was startled and twitched his pointed ears, recognizing one of the voices as particularly familiar.
It's a fire dragon lizard!
Did the local monsters of Farm and Mount Amitai fight?
"Wang..." Shu Li scratched his head and asked stutteringly, "Um...you know that, right?"
"Farm?" The Elf King stood up, causing a splash of water. His almost transparent robe clung to his chest, revealing his well-proportioned muscles. "I haven't seen it in ten thousand years. Let's go take a look."
"Oh~" Shu Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, they came out of the hot spring pool, dried their bodies with magic, put on formal robes, left the palace, and flew in the direction of the roaring monster.
Shu Li was stunned when he saw the two giant beasts fighting fiercely.
A fire dragon lizard that was more than ten meters long and a monkey that was more than ten meters tall were fighting each other fiercely.
None of them released magic power, and used their own advantages to engage in pure hand-to-hand combat. Every confrontation unleashed a terrifying destructive force, knocking the surrounding trees to pieces. The low-level monsters were frightened and fled as fast as they could.
"Waaaaaaaa——" The white-haired ape angrily pounded his strong chest muscles and roared threateningly at the invader.
This was its territory, yet this alien beast ignored its presence and recklessly hunted its prey. Originally, considering it a high-level beast, they gave it some face and allowed it to eat its fill, but it went too far and tried to drive it away!
The monkey refused to take it and pounced on him without saying a word.
It’s not that it doesn’t want to use its powerful strength, but the real master of Mount Amitai is the Elf King. If you dare to cause trouble, just wait to be expelled!
The monkeys have lived here for tens of thousands of years and live comfortably. How could they be willing to leave?
"Ooooooooooooooo——" The Fire Dragon Lizard fought back unwillingly.
It hadn't tasted fresh, delicious monster meat in thousands of years. Surely it shouldn't treat itself to a good meal on Mount Amitai? It was simply eating too happily, unknowingly approaching the monkey's dwelling. Suddenly, the monkey roared and lunged at it, completely ignoring its explanations and launching into a fight.
Let’s fight, is it afraid?
The other party doesn't use magic, and as the mount of the God of Fire, it naturally won't bully children.
Yes, a thousand-year-old ape is no different from a child in its eyes.
The Fire Dragon Lizard had followed the God of Fire through many battles and did not take the monkey's threat seriously at all. It played with it perfunctorily for a few rounds.
The monkey felt that the beast looked down on him, and he became more and more courageous as the fight went on, almost unable to resist releasing his magic power.
It was obvious that the Fire Dragon Lizard had the upper hand and its territory was about to be lost. The monkey let out a sad and angry roar.
Shu Li sat on the Elf King's shoulder and gently pulled his hair: "King, let's stop them!"
No wonder the God of Fire allowed the Fire Spirit and Farm to merge. It turns out this guy has no restraint when fighting.
Its skin was thick and tough, and the monkey's huge fists hit its back without any pain. With a flick of its thick, barbed tail, it directly knocked the monkey away. Not only did it knock the monkey away, it also knocked down a large area of trees. The entire mountain was like being hit by a terrible tornado, and the ecology was severely damaged.
Shu Li covered his forehead, feeling that it was a completely wrong decision to let Farm go into the mountains alone.
With its overbearing nature, how could we dare to let it live in the Fairy Forest? It would definitely cause chaos and no peace.
The Elf King was suspended in the air on the wind, his green eyes sharp, and he instantly released a tremendous pressure, which rushed towards the two fighting monsters like a tidal wave.
The ape and the dragon fire lizard were shocked at the same time, frightened by the powerful and familiar pressure.
They separated in panic and looked up at the golden-haired Elf King floating in the air.
The ape looked doomed, and without a second thought, he prostrated himself on the ground, begging for the Elf King's forgiveness.
The Fire Dragon Lizard looked around and found the little elf sitting on the Elf King's shoulder. Its golden eyes turned and it shamelessly turned into a little milk beast like a chinchilla. It flapped its bat wings and flew in front of the Elf King with an innocent look on its face.
After all, it is the mount of the God of Fire, and it is very bold. It used to cause troubles in the heaven. Today's little fight is nothing to it at all.
Shu Li got angry when he saw its innocent look. He flapped his wings, flew to the little monster, and punched it on the back with his fist.
“Hiss~~”
Don’t be fooled by the little monster’s chubby appearance; the scales on its back are very hard.
Shu Li shook his aching fingers and glared at the little monster. "Farm, what did you promise me?"
Farm clasped his short, fat forelimbs together and said dejectedly, "No... I won't cause trouble. I won't bully the local high-level monsters."
Shu Li asked with a straight face, "So what did you do now?"
Not only did they bully the local high-level monsters, but they also destroyed a large area of forest.
Farm glanced down and belatedly noticed the trees leaning to the ground. He asked in disbelief, "Is this...I did all this?"
"What else?" Shu Li frowned.
Farm pointed with his chubby little paw. "That big guy is also the culprit!"
It cannot be that one animal takes the responsibility alone and drags the other into the water no matter what.
The monkey had sharp hearing and cried out in dissatisfaction when he heard the fire dragon lizard's shameless excuse.
It's an innocent victim! It's just defending its own territory, what's wrong with that?
Shu Li had a headache and looked at the Elf King for help.
The Elf King glanced at the Fire Dragon Lizard that had transformed into a cub and said slowly, "Farm, compensate Terrick."
Upon hearing this, the ape Terek bowed to the Elf King in gratitude.
Farm shook his tail, not daring to retort, and obediently opened his mouth to spit out the treasure from the space capsule.
"Crash--" A pile of crystal ore fell from the sky and landed accurately in front of the monkey.
When the monkey saw that these were rare crystal ores that were not found in Mount Amitai, he happily accepted them and waved his fist towards the Fire Dragon, indicating that the battle was over.
It saluted the Elf King again, jumped a few times, and disappeared into the mountains and forests.
Shu Li poked Farm's belly hard with his finger.
The belly is softer than the back and feels good to poke.
Farm looked at the Elf King flatteringly. "Your Majesty, it's been a long time since we last met. You remain as handsome and elegant as ever, impartial and just..."
Before he could finish his words, Shu Li covered his mouth with her hand. If he continued to talk, it would be a mess.
"King, I will restore the mountains and forests."
The mountains and forests were destroyed and could only be repaired with wood magic.
The Elf King smiled and nodded to Shu Li: "Okay."
