Chapter 74, Chapter 10: The Magical Maid
Yu Wanwan was exasperated, but she couldn't resist the old tree spirit's pleading and reluctantly touched one of its branches.
The branches she touched instantly became stronger and full of life.
The old tree spirit was so excited that its branches shook loudly.
"Oh! I knew I was right! You are the incarnation of the Goddess of Nature! Only the Goddess of Nature could possess such wondrous power!"
Yu Wanwan shivered, disregarding any need to delay, and hurriedly made her escape, running up to the sixth floor.
Outside the Elemental Tower, Elder Yad flicked his wrist and plucked off a hair from his beard.
"God of Light! How come Violet passed the fifth level faster than the previous four?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, emerald green clouds suddenly burst forth from the window on the fifth floor, exploding in the air to form the words "Welcome back to the Goddess of Nature".
The elder, who was recording this historic ascent of the tower, dropped his pen to the ground with a clatter.
"Wood...wood element can write?!"
"From...the goddess of nature?!"
"Vell is a goddess of nature?!"
All the elders went into a frenzy, and chaos reigned.
"What's going on? Isn't Violet from a poor little mountain village?"
Amidst the chaos, Xu Qingzhou silently raised his hand and covered his eyes.
Although he guessed she was very capable, at least more capable than he had imagined, these scenes still gave him a headache.
He was wrong; he shouldn't have let her enter the Elemental Tower alone.
Now look what's happened; who knows what kind of mess will be made next.
He's going to be very busy.
"Look! The eighth floor is lit up!"
The elders suddenly choked, because an apple rain suddenly began to fall outside the tower, and on each apple was naturally Yu Wanwan's smiling face.
The dense rain of apples falling from the eighth floor caused the elders to hop and dodge.
"God of Light! What on earth is going on?!"
In fact, Yu Wanwan herself was speechless.
She originally wanted to stall for time and prevent things from getting out of hand.
But the higher you go, the more vibrant and lively the plants inside these towers become.
As soon as he saw her, he pounced on her like a madman.
The inner demon on the sixth floor was so frightened by her that it kowtowed and begged for mercy. Before she could even speak, it kicked her out without saying a word.
The poisonous plants on the seventh floor insisted on dragging her along, making her watch the dance they had choreographed over the years in the tower.
Although Yu Wanwan herself loves plants, plants are also her source.
But seeing a group of ferocious-looking vines dancing wildly in front of her, the sheer impact of that moment still stirred a murderous intent within her.
The eighth floor is even more outrageous.
Who understands the surreal feeling of opening a door and seeing a room full of apples all bearing "her" face?
Yu Wanwan's expression was indescribable. Before she could figure out how to deal with it, countless vines surged in from all directions, weaving a luxurious throne in front of her and surrounding her as she sat down.
The moment she sat down, the ancient tree in the corner trembled its branches and began to emit a strange rhythm, and the flowers all over the ground swayed and twisted with the rhythm.
Yu Wanwan: "..."
Daoguo was practically laughing himself silly.
[Hahahaha, they're practically supporting you as their king!]
Yu Wanwan rubbed her forehead and slumped weakly against the throne.
"I don't need their support, I am who I am."
The moment she finished speaking, the branches of the ancient tree continued to extend, placing an exquisitely woven floral crown on her head.
Dao Guo: Hahahahahahahahahahaha!
Yu Wanwan: "..."
The plants in this elemental tower are all poisonous!
【Wanwan, please be understanding, they've just not seen any living people in ages, hahaha!】
Yu Wanwan gritted her teeth.
"Shut up!"
How could she not know?
The straw bracelet on her wrist turned into a small mirror, which she held in her hand and looked at herself.
I must say, these plant wreaths are actually quite pretty.
Since that's the case, let's not bother with them.
Yu Wanwan sighed and took heavy steps up to the ninth floor.
The first few floors are already shaking like that, I wonder how crazy the ninth floor will be.
However, things didn't turn out as she had expected.
The entire space was empty except for a towering ancient tree standing in the center, its trunk covered with obscure ancient divine patterns.
[Huh? That's... an afterimage of the World Tree? But it looks like it's dying.]
Yu Wanwan gazed thoughtfully at the illusory divine tree.
The ancient tree suddenly trembled, and an aged voice echoed in the space. The voice seemed to be right next to her ear, or as if it was coming from all directions.
"Ten thousand years have passed since the War of the Gods, and finally, a person of the Wood element has come here again."
What is life?
The ancient, weathered sound of the wood echoed from inside the tower to the outside, each syllable carrying a unique, mysterious energy fluctuation.
All the elders held their breath, their faces blank.
Today's events have brought them so much shock that they are now unable to display any expression.
Elder Fina's calm voice trembled.
"This is... a direct test from the ancient wood spirit! No one has triggered it since the War of the Gods ten thousand years ago!"
Everyone was silent, but their eyes were shining.
For an ancient wood spirit to appear, it's absolutely impossible for her to be tainted by dark elements!
Yu Wanwan blinked, and suddenly a sword appeared in her hand. She stabbed it into her heart with a backhand.
Fresh blood dripped down.
Shenmu was startled by her actions.
"Trial participant, what are you doing...?"
Before she could finish speaking, countless green teems of life surged toward her like a tide, enveloping her and merging with her.
Even it, which was merely a fleeting shadow, couldn't help but send its own life force into her body.
The heart, pierced by the sword, was restored to its original state in the blink of an eye.
Shenmu stood there, staring at the scene before him, unable to utter a single word.
It could sense that as life force surged into her body, her aura rose higher and higher, becoming more approachable than the goddess of nature and the goddess of life, yet more terrifying than the god of war.
Two completely different auras, contradictory yet harmonious.
At the same time, she herself also exudes more vitality, nourishing the plants that gave her life, making them grow stronger.
When the little creatures inside the tower received these gifts, their deafening cheers nearly lifted the tower itself.
And it itself, the illusory tree shadow, gradually solidified under her nurturing, and regained a real tree trunk.
Yu Wanwan wore a gentle smile, like a goddess.
"I am life."
She spoke calmly, with a gentle tone and a smile, words that even the god of life dared not utter.
The sacred tree remained silent for a moment, then the divine patterns on its trunk suddenly flashed wildly, causing the entire tree to shake violently, and its leaves to fall like raindrops.
"Thank you for your gift, my revered deity!"
Just then, the entire elemental tower began to tremble, and all the wood elements joyfully coalesced into an emerald staircase leading directly outside the tower.
"I am not qualified to test you. You are free to leave at any time."
Yu Wanwan chuckled softly, straightened her clothes, and leisurely descended the stairs.
The moment she stepped out of the Elemental Tower.
The entire elemental tower suddenly rose from the ground, rapidly shrinking in the air until it became a tiny, palm-sized tower that landed in front of her with a "clink" and circled around her.
Yu Wanwan: "..."
The entire room fell silent.
Elder Yad plucked out another tuft of his mustache, his eyes widening like copper bells.
"The Elemental Tower...has recognized me as its master?!"
Overwhelmed with excitement, the elder of discipline rolled his eyes and fainted.
Xu Qingzhou: "..."
Holy crap!
Who exactly is she?!
Yu Wanwan silently moved to the side and slapped the tower away.
"I don't need it!"
The tower fell to the ground with a thud and remained motionless.
Elder Yad's heart trembled. He rushed forward and carefully lifted the elemental tower.
"God of Light! How could you treat the Elemental Tower like this!"
He carefully examined the elemental tower and found that it was not broken, but it inexplicably exuded a depressed mood.
Elder Yad looked somewhat dazed.
Having served in the Temple of Light for a century, I have never seen the Elemental Tower so lively.
The elemental tower seemed to sense his emotions, rolling over in his hand, and faint sobbing could be heard, like a wronged child.
This broke his heart.
He held the small elemental tower and tremblingly handed it to Yu Wanwan.
"Your Excellency, perhaps..."
Yu Wanwan shook her head violently and rushed to Xu Qingzhou's side.
"What would I do with this piece of junk? If all else fails, I'll give it to the High Priest!"
Po (Yuan) Wan (Su) Yi (Ta): Waaaaah!
Elder Yad: ...
Xu Qingzhou: ...
Elder Yad looked to Xu Qingzhou for help, and Xu Qingzhou sighed but still reached out his hand.
"Give it to me."
Perhaps sensing the pure light element on Xu Qingzhou's body, the elemental tower did not resist and obediently lay in his palm.
Xu Qingzhou turned around and glanced at Yu Wanwan.
"You really don't want it?"
Yu Wanwan refused very decisively.
"don't want!"
"..."
Okay.
After thinking for a while, Xu Qingzhou put the elemental tower back in its original position.
The Elemental Tower looked back every few steps, and seeing that Yu Wanwan really ignored it, it reluctantly grew back to its original size, restoring itself to the mysterious and ancient tower.
High above the sky, in a palace that was half glorious and half dark, the beautiful white jade throne suddenly cracked open with a "crack".
He suddenly opened his eyes, and a strange light shimmered in his golden pupils.
The viewing mirror flew to my face automatically, reflecting the scene unfolding inside the elemental tower.
God sounded the alarm, but He could not identify the other party no matter what He did.
The God of Light, defiant, touched the mirror, wanting to see it again, but the mirror shattered instantly, and magical fragments flew everywhere in the hall.
"Lucifer! What are you doing? I haven't had enough sleep yet!"
The Dark God, clad in a long, black robe, stepped into the temple. Several pieces of clothing were still stuck to his body, and his dark eyes were filled with displeasure.
The God of Light stared blankly, his golden eyes filled with bewilderment.
“Erebus, it seems a remarkable person has arrived in the lower realms…”
Erebus smirked, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
"Look at your pathetic self, what extraordinary figure could you possibly be in the next generation? The truly extraordinary figures have already ignited their divine fire!"
