The handsome face in the past had long lost its former charm. The fair skin on the left cheek was already covered with blue veins. There was a long scar on the right cheek extending from the base of the ear to the corner of the mouth. He didn't care about the scar; what really concerned him were the blue veins on the left cheek.
"Tell me! Who are you? Why did you remind me several times and help me avoid serious injuries or even death?" Lin Xingchen muttered to himself while sitting cross-legged on the stone bed.
"Kid, I've already told you that I have no ill will towards you. You are just overly suspicious! But your suspicion makes me look at you with a higher regard. After all, anyone in a competition can withstand the guidance of a senior master." A voice appeared in Lin Xingchen's spiritual sea of consciousness.
After realizing what was happening, Lin Xingchen entered a meditative state and entered his own sea of consciousness.
In a corner of the sea of consciousness, the ball of consciousness that was originally sealed by Lin Xingchen has now turned into a slender figure.
"My child, this is actually our second meeting. In the past, your spirit was too low and I couldn't have a good chat with you even if I came out to see you. Before I start to tell you about our origins, first of all, congratulations on becoming a seventh-level magician. This is how you define your strength level now!"
"Thank you for your congratulations. I think I am only concerned about two things now. One is what price I need to pay to dispel the evil energy in my body, and the other is why you appear in my sea of consciousness."
"Child, I have already told you that you don't have to pay any price, because I am your ancestor. The reason why I appeared in your sea of consciousness is because I sensed it when your bloodline awakened."
"Child, don't worry about these trivial matters. The first thing you need to do is to dispel the chaotic evil energy in your body. This evil energy will corrode your body and mind."
"I know you have a large number of leaves of the Tree of Life. Now you just need to keep eating the leaves. If you have the pith of the Tree of Life, that would be even better. This kind of powerful life energy can eliminate the evil energy in your body." The figure did not waste any time and quickly told him how to solve his biggest difficulty now.
A large bowl of life tree marrow was made through the space farm, and Lin Xingchen drank most of it in one breath.
"Child, don't drink too much. Leave some for me..." The voice sounded urgently in Lin Xingchen's mind.
"I knew you wouldn't be without desires." But since others had reminded me, I kept the remaining one third.
A bright light appeared in the marrow of the Tree of Life, and soon this originally vague illusion actually had the feeling of a three-dimensional image.
"Haha... You are very alert, which is a commendable attitude. My name is Christian Xingchen, and I am the patriarch of the Xingchen clan from a long time ago."
"Before I tell you my story, let me ask you a question. Have you heard the legend about the invasion of the abyss?" Christian adjusted his mood slightly and slowly began his speech.
"I've heard some things. I only know that the abyss invaded our Plano continent for some unknown reason, and finally all races joined forces to drive out the abyss demons." Lin Xingchen did not explain it so clearly. After all, he hoped to find some flaws from the subsequent conversation.
"It's good that you know some of it. There's no need for me to start over again."
Christian still gave a brief summary of what had happened before: "In this way, our coalition forces won the victory at the cost of heavy casualties."
"After the final battle, everyone was in a frenzy, and at this time, the prophet Rowan unexpectedly found me.
Because I am a very good friend of this human prophet, I initially thought he was here to celebrate with me, but I didn't expect him to ask me to come to my study to chat for a while. "
“Although I am a little puzzled, as an old friend I still give him the greatest trust.
In the study, he didn't say anything but showed me a prophecy. The scope of this prophecy was very large. I first saw the infighting among the three royal families of the high elves. It could be said that it was a fight with no winner.
This was very shocking to me. Before I could ask him about it, the predicted scene appeared again. This time, it was another attack by the Abyss Army. There were no high elves in the scene, only the forest elves on the battlefield.
In the end, Plano continent fell and billions of lives were swallowed by the abyss. The prophecy ended here.
My old friend told me that his prophecy was about the future scenario, and he wanted to discuss something with me. In order to implement this prophecy, he proposed a plan called the Spark Plan.
The most critical link in the plan is our Star Clan. Only our Star Clan's innate talent for space magic can play such a role.
My friend Rowan told me that only if the Star Clan withdraws from the internal fighting with the other two clans can the bloodline be preserved, and then the bloodline will be sealed until one day a descendant of our family who is born with the High Elven language appears. This time will be the beginning of the new rise of our Star Clan."
"What you said is of no value. After all, I have heard a lot of things, and I never take prophecies seriously." Lin Xingchen said helplessly, rolling his eyes.
"Child, there are many taboos in this world that you cannot touch. The reason why you have not attracted attention is because you are not in their eyes yet." Christian shook his head and said with a smile.
"I understand. After all, big shots won't bother with people they don't like. Please continue with your story."
"Okay! I listened to Luo Wen's advice. When everyone was in a frenzy, I led a few powerful people in the tribe to secretly hide the collapsed tree of life. These are all prepared for you.
Hidden along with it is the Sky City, which represents the highest skill of our high elves. It is also the only Sky City that has not been shot down. Of course, it is also an unfinished work. "
"Things became much simpler after that. I gathered all the tribesmen and told them Rowan's prophecy. After getting their agreement, we officially started the plan.
With the cooperation of Prophet Rowan, we successfully reconnected the collapsed Tree of Life to the City in the Sky, but the price was the lives of all our participants, including my old friend Rowan.
As a priest of the God of Life, he successfully extended the life of the Tree of Life, while I retained my consciousness and became a being similar to a ghost.
The reason I made such an irrational choice was that I couldn't let go of our clan. Luo Wen also agreed to my request. After that, I fell into a deep sleep until your blood awakened me, and then I was able to connect with you.
As for the rest, you sealed me up until I felt that your mental power was strong enough to open the space gate, then I took the initiative to contact you, and naturally I also saw your fight with the Flame Demon. "
"I'm actually quite curious. Aren't you worried that Luo Wen will join forces with the other two tribes to deceive you?"
"Yes! I have actually thought about the same question as yours, so I repeatedly praised you for being vigilant, which is not a bad thing. But what makes me feel gratified is that my old friend did not lie to me." At this point, the old ancestor actually laughed to himself.
"So your prediction is successful. What do I need to pay next? Make the same great sacrifice as you?" Lin Xingchen thought about this matter with the greatest malice.
"No need. My existence is to give you the right things at the right time, and then return to the embrace of the God of Nature. As for what happens next, you need to consider it."
"Really? I like this kind of ancestor who only gives benefits without asking for anything in return."
Next, you should recover your strength. After you have recovered all your magic power, you can open the space door and leave here.
"Ancestor, I would like to ask, after opening the space gate, can I take those goblins away? They can be of great help to me." Lin Xingchen took the opportunity to establish a relationship with them.
"With your current strength, you can only open the space gate to maintain a few numbers at most. If you want to take those ugly lives with you, you will need a powerful energy source." Christian has already had a plan for such things.
"Please give me some advice, ancestor." Lin Xingchen quickly paid his respects.
That fire demon is a good energy center. Just using him as an energy provider is enough to make these goblins leave with you.
"What about this place? Can I come back again? There are many mineral deposits that I need here."
"There is an ability called space seed in space magic. As long as you release it in this plane, you can enter and exit freely in the future as long as you are not excluded."
"By the way, ancestor, I remember you said that the fire demon was an eighth-level demon. Why does this plane that is about to be destroyed target him so much but not me?" This is one of the reasons why Lin Xingchen has always been puzzled. August entered this plane with extraordinary strength, and he has not been sealed.
"This involves a relatively broad distinction. Every plane has an instinct that can distinguish whether every creature that enters its body is of good order or chaotic evil.
It will target those who enter with evil intentions, but will generally provide some convenience for those who enter with good intentions.”
"Okay, you've asked almost all the questions you should ask. It's time to rest up. We can leave here after you've rested up."
Naturally, Lin Xingchen would not refuse such a request. Feeling that the evil energy in his body had almost subsided, Lin Xingchen did not plan to meditate but to have a good sleep.
