Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and countless giant beasts and birds flew toward the Tree of Life. At the very top, a stunningly beautiful golden-haired elf princess drew her bow to its fullest extent, one long leg bracing against the corner of the bow, gracefully drawing it into a beautiful arc.
"Young Miss, the time has come!"
In that instant, her arrow, imbued with powerful life energy, flew towards Queen Vivian, a burst of green light shooting into the sky as the arrow pierced through Queen Vivian's flesh.
Queen Vivian stared in disbelief, but quickly regained her composure and calmly accepted that the child she had raised for many years had shot an arrow at her, the most prized weapon of the elves.
In an instant, golden flashes and spatial power appeared beside the Elf Queen. Quan Ji and Jun Chenlan each stood on one side, and together they channeled their energy to deliver a powerful blow to the Elf Queen.
The Elf Queen was already in a vulnerable state due to the arrow, and now, without any warning, she received a combined attack from a human god and a high priest with power comparable to a top-level priest. Her body flew backward rapidly and crashed into a tree.
Jun Chenlan grabbed the blood-red pearl floating in mid-air.
The person inside the crimson orb seemed to have been rescued:
"Finally, someone has come to rescue us!"
"It's the young lady on the wanted poster...and Marshal Jun!"
"I never expected these two would come to our rescue! This is wonderful!"
...
Quan Ji quickly arrived in front of the amber and looked at Cang Mingru, who was bound by chains of flames. The mother and daughter looked at each other, and for a moment, a thousand words were stuck in their hearts and they could not speak.
Cang Mingru's eyes were filled with emotion: "Young Miss... you've finally grown up!"
Quan Ji took a deep breath: "We can talk about it later. Let me get you out first."
Quan Ji's eyes flashed with golden light, and a golden energy bolt struck the fiery chains, but the chains remained completely still.
The owner of the chains seemed to have expected this, and gave a cold sneer: "Young Miss, how have you been?"
Quan Ji never expected that her power, which clearly restrained the abyss and the gods, would have no effect whatsoever under these chains of fire.
The only explanation is that the difference in strength is simply too great.
Quan Ji wanted to take Cang Mingru away, but the chains restricted her movement to a certain area.
Cang Mingru cried out, "Young Miss, be careful!"
In an instant, Quan Ji transformed into a golden flash without any hesitation, dodging the new round of fiery chains.
The chains fell to the ground with a "whoosh," and the world seemed to plunge into a fiery hell, burning fiercely.
The injuries sustained by the elven queen, who had been struck and pinned to a tree, gradually healed, and a terrifyingly dense life force erupted instantly:
"Do humans and gods also want to interfere in the affairs of the elves?!"
Quan Ji stared intently at the Elf Queen: "What you're trying to do goes beyond just affecting the Elf race. I don't want to live in the life essence and be consumed by despair!"
The Elf Queen placed her staff on the ground, and the intense life force suddenly received a response from nature. The originally cracked earth began to grow thorny vines, which twisted wildly like a raging dragon, with countless vines intertwined and sweeping across the land!
"A bunch of ants dare to presume to know my intentions!"
"When the Tree of Life withers, countless creatures will lose their homeland. Every inch of this land is where the Tree of Life thrives!"
"Since war is inevitable, the Elven race will never show weakness!"
"Elven warriors, raise your weapons and slay the uncouth intruders, the eternal sinners who stand in your way!!!"
Without exception, countless elven warriors picked up their weapons and attacked the numerous ferocious beasts.
Sophia stood atop a giant, colorful eagle, her eyes bloodshot: "Mother, stop being so deluded! Even the Tree of Life withers, don't you understand? Eternity is ultimately just a lie, a deception!"
"Everything has its own laws, and everything has its moment of destruction. We elves are used to leisure and comfort. Although we have a lifespan of thousands of years, we see far less than the short lifespan of ordinary humans, which is only a hundred years! Instead of pursuing that illusory eternity, we should cherish the present moment!"
"Mother... the forest will not perish because the Tree of Life withers, and the elves do not need the Tree of Life to break the eternal shackles! Our happiness is not bought with the sacrifice of others; those are shackles of blood, not blades to break them!!!"
Sophia still tried to dissuade his mother. He knew she wasn't that kind of person; she had always been incredibly gentle! There must be some unspeakable reason why she had become like this!
Upon hearing these remarks, the Elf Queen was only slightly surprised for a moment. After a brief, slight smile, she composed herself and glared sternly at Sophia.
"Outrageous!!"
"Today's ceremony to revive the Tree of Life—whoever stands in their way will be killed!!!"
At this moment, Sofia was utterly desperate.
He gritted his teeth, tears streaming down his face, his eyes becoming incredibly resolute:
"All things of the forest, all imprisoned holy souls, now... I beg you, fight alongside me!!"
