Of course, the materials can be replaced; just collect them all and fill the space.
After a period of time, when the cocoon gradually becomes transparent and is eventually broken through from the inside, a new fairy will be born from it.
Of course, this approach also carries certain risks.
How can we ensure that what we put inside will bud into life, and how can we guarantee that it will not perish during the gestation process due to external attacks? And most importantly, does such a gestated life truly have the ability to break through the transparent cocoon that binds it, to gain the freedom to survive, and even to live on?
Everything is unknown, and many records indicate that many fairy breeding plans have failed before they could gather enough materials—or rather, most of them were destroyed by sudden attacks and dangers.
That makes sense. After all, without using their abilities, fairies are very fragile and small. Even slightly larger animals can pose a danger to them, let alone some mischievous children who can roam freely and are skilled at climbing trees and tearing down roofs.
"Ahem, in short, you need to understand one thing first! The birth of fairies is a treasure bestowed by heaven and earth, a miracle born from the joint efforts of life and probability!"
The flower fairy tried to salvage her image, but was mocked by Shen Xue again: "More like a parasite."
Why are these two at odds again?
I sighed, feeling a headache coming on: "So, you've lost the possibility of having a new generation because of the World Tree's sudden disappearance?"
"Yes."
The flower fairy nodded frantically, her wings fluttering faster and faster, almost completely transforming into a blur: "Although there was a tendency for this before, it's not entirely without a solution. It's just that the gestation was probably incomplete, lacking some factor we don't know about, so the newborns were more or less weak and sickly, and some even died within a few days."
"And after the sacred tree completely disappeared, even the initial possibility of its gestation vanished completely."
The flower fairy lowered her head, her half-hidden face revealing a variety of complex emotions: solemnity and sorrow at witnessing the end of her race: "If we cannot find a solution soon, perhaps soon, even we, the younger generation who still have the possibility of conceiving newborns, will step into the shadow of death, and in the end, the entire fairy race will completely disappear from history."
"Even if a race called fairies were to emerge in the future, it would be something that has nothing to do with us."
Her tone and emotions seemed genuine, and even Shen Xue, who had previously tried to provoke her with every sentence, fell silent along with her after opening her mouth several times.
Unfortunately, when repeated, the flower fairy was clearly impatient. In less than two seconds, she reverted to her annoying, chattering self, and after provoking Shenxue repeatedly, she was once again sent flying by a single finger strike.
Speechless, I pulled the little guy out of my clothes and tossed it back onto the table. For a second, I even wondered if Miyuki did it on purpose, just to get revenge for me standing by and not talking back to her.
He was about to ask a question when a cold, indifferent look from her silenced him.
Fine, you think you're so great. If I can't afford to mess with you, can't I at least avoid you?
"But isn't this something you fairies should resolve internally? Why are you asking humans?" I asked, a sudden sense of unease creeping into my heart. "The city lord has sent people to try and find any traces of the World Tree, but they haven't received any response."
"Furthermore, since you can control everything related to flowers, you can obviously use that to find the World Tree, right? Isn't that possible?"
"It's all life related to flowers!"
The flower fairy shouted to correct and emphasize: "Besides, who said we haven't tried! It's just that the sacred tree always has its own ideas and isn't so easy to find. After several attempts, we can only stare blankly."
"As for why we need to find humans..." She crossed her arms and spiraled upwards, seemingly recalling something, then suddenly stopped, stroking her chin, "It seems that among humans, there are some beings who can wield extraordinary powers, capable of defining or altering the laws of a small space, and by using that power, we might be able to obtain the possibility of continued existence."
"The kind of person you're talking about, is that called a mage?" Shen Xue suddenly cast a sharp glance at her.
Completely oblivious to the atmosphere, the flower fairy paused for a second, then slapped her palm and nodded frantically: "Yes, yes, it's a mage! They even said that a very small percentage of them can even create their own small, permanent space! It's much more powerful than the temporary realm I could only cobble together with materials..."
"Hey, why are you staring at him?"
Faced with their gazes, each carrying a different meaning, all I wanted to do was run away.
I wish I hadn't deliberately fallen for their trap!
