The Queen infused the essence of the wood into the heart of the tree, and soon, the canopy of the Tree of Life stretched out, as if it had come back to life.
The Queen looked at Xiao Li with satisfaction, "Li, you've worked hard. The Tree of Life can last for at least a few more years, all thanks to you. You can continue your cultivation here; this is the Tree of Life's reward for you."
Xiao Li readily accepted; she had been wanting to communicate with the Tree of Life, and this was a good opportunity.
The Queen left with Manny, and Xiao Li was surprised that the Tree of Life was willing to take care of her.
But she trusted Xiaoli, who was one of her people.
Xiao Li circled the Tree of Life once; this tree was so big.
It drifted gently to the heart of the tree and began to communicate with the Tree of Life.
“Master, the Tree of Life says thank you for finding the essence of wood, which gave it the energy to awaken and complete its final cycle.”
What is reincarnation?
Xiao Li was very curious: Do trees also have reincarnation?
"The elves guard the Tree of Life, and the Tree of Life also protects the elves. The two are closely related and neither can be missing."
Now that the Tree of Life has reached its twilight years, it needs to gather strength to nurture the growth of a new Tree of Life.
It was originally capable of nurturing its own seedlings, but twenty years ago, the demons attacked the elven forest, damaging its foundation, which is why it no longer has enough energy.
Xiao Li understood; she was the best at cultivating saplings.
She brought out a bunch of reagents from the lab, all left over from cultivating mutant plants in the past, all kinds of them.
She picked and chose, looking for energy potions, recovery potions, growth potions...
"Can we use these? You can take them all."
The Tree of Life sensed the potion with one of its branches and absorbed all that it needed without hesitation.
Its entire body was full of energy, constantly emitting a green light.
The Queen was drawn to the scene before her, and looked at it with some concern.
"Your Majesty, the Tree of Life is about to be reborn, and we will witness its new life."
The Queen was overjoyed. "Is this true? That's wonderful!"
"Yes, it is evolving."
A tender green bud slowly sprouted from the roots of the Tree of Life.
"That is..."
"A new tree of life!"
The bud slowly grew, seemingly absorbing the energy of the tree, while the tree visibly withered, its leaves turning yellow and falling...
Finally, it withered completely and became a dead tree. When Xiao Li touched it gently, it turned to ashes, leaving behind a tender sapling about the height of a person.
"Li, you stay here and guard the sapling. I'm going to close the green barrier. For the next hundred years, we will rest and recuperate, and we will no longer receive guests."
Xiao Li nodded. She would take good care of the tree, after all, she had watched it grow up and she had contributed to its cultivation.
She took out some more spirit milk, which Little Tree should like.
She also took out a piece of the spiritual marrow and buried it near the tree roots.
Sure enough, the sapling happily absorbed the spiritual milk, and its growth rate accelerated, becoming lush and verdant.
"Master, look."
Following Xiao Jiu's words, Xiao Li looked and saw that a small bud had sprouted from the roots of the Tree of Life.
"This is……"
"Another tree of life, that's wonderful."
Xiao Li watched as the small bud on the tree root slowly grew, and soon it was the size of a finger.
Suddenly, a tree root emerged from the ground and delivered the bud to Xiaoli.
"For me?"
The treetops nodded, as if in response.
Youyou once again acted as the translator.
“Master, Little Tree says you have a space where you can properly cultivate the Tree of Life, which will benefit you.”
It can only produce such a small branch, which damages it; you'll have to nurture it yourself from now on.
Xiao Li excitedly sent the little sprout into her space and planted it near the spiritual spring, as it was the perfect place for it.
The little sprout swayed from side to side, seemingly enjoying the place as well.
"The space has evolved again, Master. This is a wood-type divine object. We have found another divine object of the five elements."
Little Nine was very excited. It was about to witness a space transform into a new world—what a magnificent thing that was!
Xiao Li was also very happy, and she was looking forward to the formation of the new world.
The Tree of Life split off its roots and withered away. Xiaoli was heartbroken and quickly took out a pile of spiritual milk and spiritual marrow from her spatial storage and buried them all under the tree roots.
The Tree of Life swayed its branches as if in gratitude, and soon it regained its vitality, though its growth rate slowed down considerably.
The Queen also arrived with her entourage.
"The letter has been sent out. Once they return, the green barrier will be completely closed. We need to rest and recuperate within our territory and wait for the Tree of Life to grow steadily."
"Everyone should thank Mengli, for she has continued the legacy of the elven race. I hereby declare that she will succeed as the next queen."
Everyone applauded. Xiao Li's eyes widened; she really hadn't expected the Queen to make this decision.
“Look, the pool of life under the Tree of Life has become wet.”
The Queen smiled with relief; she could finally rest easy, for the Elven race had finally weathered the crisis.
Xiao Li gradually became busy. She was caught by the Queen and made to learn everything that the Queen should learn.
"Master, Fang Qing and Lan Ling are outside the green barrier."
Unexpectedly, Fang Qing still ended up in the Elf Forest.
"Let's go take a look."
She flapped her wings and arrived at the green barrier in just a few seconds.
The messengers haven't returned yet, and there's still a small opening in the green barrier. These two are incredibly capable; they're trying to get in through this small gap.
“Master, Lan Ling is a demonic cultivator.”
Youyou is very sensitive to demonic energy and noticed it immediately.
"I knew her identity was not simple. Only a demonic cultivator would do something like stirring up conflict between humans and elves."
Fang Qing was also troubled. Was it a good idea for them to attack the barrier like this? Wouldn't they be mistaken for enemies?
But Lan Ling wouldn't listen to him at all. He just wanted to come to the Elf Clan to see if he could get some Water of Life, and also to see if he could meet Meng Li.
"Lanling, this won't do. The elves love peace. We can try sending a message."
Lan Ling thought Fang Qing was too naive. While the elves loved peace, they were also extremely xenophobic and would never let strangers in.
"We can go in by ourselves; we don't need to rely on anyone else."
Soon, the person on duty was alerted. Manny was on duty today as well, and she shouted angrily.
"Who goes there? How dare you trespass on Elven territory? Get out of here right now, or I won't be polite."
Manny took out a short bow, straightened the bowstring, and a golden arrow slowly took shape.
Fang Qing was overjoyed to see Manny, but upon closer inspection, he was somewhat disappointed.
Do you know Mengli? I'm here to see her.
Manny stared at Fang Qing in surprise. Was this Meng Li's friend? She slowly lowered her short bow.
Lan Ling felt relieved; she knew this fool was useful.
"Are you Mengli's friend?"
Fang Qing nodded happily, "She is my little master, my name is Fang Qing."
Manny found it strange that Mengli had taken on a human apprentice.
