Chapter 76: Castle in the Sky



"Okay, kids, stop talking and come to the city center. I'm waiting for you here." A voice came from the outside and reached everyone's ears.

"Let's go!" Lin Xingchen then led everyone in the direction where the voice came from.

I walked and looked around along the way. There was a transparent shield in the sky surrounding where I was. I could see some lightning striking the shield.

The various strange scenery with different colors made Lin Xingchen and others a little intoxicated. They shifted their gaze to observe the place under their feet. Without too much guessing, they knew that it was not land or floor, but a ground made entirely of steel.

It was not far from the city center and he had arrived there during the observation. After informing them to wait for him there, Lin Xingchen walked into a silver-white metal door in the center of the city.

The space inside was large enough to accommodate at least five thousand people at the same time without being crowded. Christian's figure appeared on a similar operating table.

"Child, you are finally here. We have been waiting for you for who knows how long. Thank the God of Life for not abandoning his believers." Christian kept praising the gods.

"Ancestor, I don't believe in gods, so if you have anything to say, please be direct!" Until this time, Lin Xingchen had not let down his guard against Christian.

"Well! Perhaps this is the price you pay for sealing your bloodline and integrating it into the human race! You have learned a lot of bad habits of the human race."

"This is the control center of the last sky city of the high elves. From here you can observe every corner of the sky city. It's a pity that the abyss invaded before we could install the weapon system."

"But it is precisely because of this that this city in the sky has been preserved. My child, this is the highest masterpiece of our high elves. If possible, please improve it."

"How does such a big city achieve its energy supply?" Lin Xingchen was still quite confused. After all, this was a city and a floating city at that.

"Good question. Do you remember the collapsed Tree of Life? Rowan combined it with the Sky City, and the energy for the city is provided by the Tree of Life." Christian said this with admiration in his eyes.

"Of course, we have already prepared the energy supply from the beginning. Just follow me." Christian said as he floated towards the open skylight.

Lin Xingchen also flew along, and after passing through several checkpoints along the way, he finally arrived at the energy supply room, which was also the most central part of the city.

This was the first time that Lin Xingchen saw the native tree of life. This tree, which was said to have evolved into a world tree, no longer had its natural charm.

Although it was still tall, Lin Xingchen felt that this tree was not as good as the smallest tree of life that he brought out from the space.

"This tree of life has no possibility of evolving again because its origin was damaged. However, the tree of life energy it possesses still exists. It's just that it can no longer become a high elf." Christian felt a little lost and regretful when he said this.

"This is one of the energy sources. What you will see next will be the city's second energy core." With a wave of his hand, the floor under Lin Xingchen's feet folded up to reveal the power supply room hidden inside.

Floating down and standing on the platform, Lin Xingchen saw a very spectacular scene.

The entire space is filled with various complex magic patterns and magic arrays, which are connected into energy transmission networks. In the center, a huge spherical object emits violent magic fluctuations, providing a steady supply of energy.

"What is this thing that has such a huge magic tide!" Lin Xingchen asked in surprise as he looked at the sphere.

"This is the energy core of an Abyss Lord from the 60th layer of the Abyss." Christian's proud tone was as if he was introducing his own eggs.

"The energy core of the Abyss Lord on the 60th floor? How did you do it?" Lin Xingchen was not really scared this time. After all, Darcy from the third floor almost killed him. He was just an ordinary demon, and an Abyss Lord could not imagine how terrifying his strength was.

“Haha… Don’t be surprised, kid. Your race has achieved something that no other race can comprehend. Let me tell you that this Abyss Lord was hunted in the Abyss by our three races leading their legions.”

"And this is just one of the ones we hunted. As far as I can remember, we hunted about twenty Abyss Lords in total." The satisfaction on Christian's face at this moment had long become a manifestation of the confidence of a successful person.

"Amazing, really amazing. If I guess correctly, it is because you hunted down these twenty or so Abyss Lords that the Abyss invasion occurred, right?" Lin Xingchen has never been able to grasp the key points, but his words made the old ancestor, who was full of confidence just now, bow his head in dejection.

"Yes, perhaps this is the effect of backlash! When we led the army to sweep across the abyss, we also disturbed some beings that we couldn't afford to offend. Finally, a monarch from the 70th layer of the abyss led the abyss army to start a counterattack.

Faced with such a counterattack, our expeditionary corps was defeated and finally had to retreat to the first level of the abyss.

We fought a great battle with the Abyss Army on the first level, and in the end we were defeated and had no choice but to retreat from the Abyss." Christian said this with a hint of disappointment.

After calming down, he continued, "The Abyss Lord gathered all the Lords under his command and broke the seal we set. That was when the full-scale war began for the first time."

"Because we know the abyss is coming with great force, so after consultation among the three races, we decided that only by uniting all races can we resist. This is also why we were able to form an alliance legion in the first place."

"I'm very curious, why has your experience never been told about on the mainland?" Lin Xingchen almost broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this. If this history was dug out, he might really become a public enemy.

"Or maybe we were deceived by our own strength at that time! In fact, there is one person who knows our history, that is my old friend Luo Wen. He has warned us again and again, but we did not take his warnings seriously at that time." The old ancestor also had a rare feeling of remorse at this time.

"The past is history, and people still have to continue their current lives. I wonder if you have collected any classics from your era? I really need some classics on how to train magicians." After listening to this story, Lin Xingchen did not make much judgment. After all, these were all things of the past and it was not his turn to judge the gains and losses.

"Of course. When we chose to accept Luo Wen's Spark Plan, we prepared everything and directly transferred the library belonging to our Star Clan over.

In addition to the original collection of books in this sky city, it can be said that this place has gathered the highest knowledge of the high elves of all generations. "When the ancestor mentioned this, he regained his confidence again.

"Okay kid, let's do the handover! After I hand this city over to you, I will disappear from this world." Looking at Lin Xingchen, Christian felt very proud that his descendants could continue their bloodline, while those guys back then had long since disappeared.

"Ancestor, I have a few more questions to ask you, and I have a suggestion. Please see if you can accept it after I ask them. First, I want to ask about the origin of us high elves. It is said that we were born under the Tree of Life. Is it true that the Tree of Life gave birth to our race? The other one is about the high elf writing. The first time I read a spell written in the high elf language, I almost died of mental exhaustion. May I ask if the origin of writing was also created by us high elves?" These two questions have troubled Lin Xingchen for a long time. Ever since he learned about the existence of Chinese characters, Lin Xingchen has always wanted to unravel the secrets.

"I'm very sorry, kid. I know very little. I can't explain our origins. I just heard from my predecessors that we high elves came to this world through the Tree of Life. As for the high elf culture, I can tell you a legend I heard.

That is, this kind of writing was not created by us high elves, but was passed down by someone, but I don’t know who it was. That’s all I know. Do you have any other questions?" Christian patiently answered his doubts.

Lin Xingchen sighed lightly and didn't dwell on the fact that he didn't get his answer: "No, but ancestor, I think it's too irresponsible for you to just disappear into the world like this. You threw this mess to me and left it alone. It's not what an elder should do to go with the wind without any regrets." Since he couldn't get the answer, he naturally needed to maximize his benefits, and this ancestor was actually a huge fortune.

"How can I be irresponsible if you tell me what you think?" Christian was a little angry. He believed that he had done his best for the tribe.

"Alas... Ancestor, you may not know that now there are only three people in the entire Star Clan, including my missing father. If we want our clan to rise, we need the help of some ancestors like you. I think it is better for you to stay in this world. On the one hand, you can guide my practice, and on the other hand, you can also see the scene of our clan's development and growth." At this time, Lin Xingchen was deceiving to death. For a senior who is dedicated to the clan, nothing is more concerning to them than mentioning the future of the clan.
