Unlike the future elves, the current elves have not yet developed the Azure Forest as an independent secret realm. They live on the continent like other creatures, but most of them hide in the forest.
Bai Xi stepped into the territory of the elves and landed in the forest.
The dense shade of the trees blocked out the sun, making it feel cool. Bai Xi's gaze fell on the treehouse not far away, which looked almost identical to the one in the future. She had lived in such a treehouse before; it was a unique feature of the Elf race.
It's just that the current version might be a little rough around the edges.
Bai Xi's footsteps drew closer. Finding someone in the desert was troublesome and required her to search personally, but if it was a large group of elves living together, finding an elf would be very easy.
Perhaps because of her special status, almost as soon as she stepped into the village, all eyes were on her. In just a few seconds, the elf's face changed from wary to surprised. Almost all the elves within Baixi's sight ran towards her, shouting as they ran.
"It's the Savior, she's come to the Elven race."
"They are the gods who saved us from dire straits!"
They shouted and rushed towards Bai Xi, kneeling down in a mass, halting Bai Xi's advance.
Bai Xi's expression was somewhat stiff. She was once the Holy Maiden of Light, and it wasn't unlike her in similar situations. However, back then, she was only focused on scheming, and everyone had their own ulterior motives; their submission wasn't necessarily genuine. But now...
She found it difficult to adapt to overly devout and fanatical believers.
When she became a god, she was clearly a god without believers.
"Get up. I came to the Elven realm to find an Elf."
Although Bai Xi was filled with mixed emotions, she didn't show it much on the surface and simply gave the order in a calm tone.
Her appearance caused a great commotion in the village, and even the King of Nature was alarmed. He slowly walked out of the treehouse in the center and met Bai Xi's eyes across the countless kneeling elves.
With pale red eyes and long silver hair, unparalleled handsome looks, and an indifferent expression like that of a celestial being... he was practically a carbon copy of Harlanser.
At the same time, the voice of world consciousness resounded in my mind.
'The sculptor has been successfully found. The next step is to head to the deep sea to search for the luminous pearl and the mermaid responsible for setting it.'
The Temple of Angels is perpetually bright, partly because it is located in mid-air and receives the sun's rays, and partly because its interior is illuminated by numerous luminous pearls.
Bai Xi's expression froze slightly, but no one noticed.
She simply closed her eyes and spoke again.
"No need to look anymore, we've already found it."
The elves looked up in surprise and saw their Elf King staring at their savior across the distance.
"Is the Savior here to see me?"
The Elf King's tone was not very varied, and he seemed to have very little emotion. This was in line with Bai Xi's understanding of elves, who were so long-lived that they were rather indifferent to emotions and things in general.
In comparison, both Nesser and Harlanthal seem a bit too lively.
Bai Xi looked at the elf in front of her, who looked exactly like Haransel, with a complicated expression. Her expression was even a little dazed, but she quickly composed herself and nodded to the Elf King.
"I need you to do something for me."
She spoke bluntly and without much politeness, but given her current status, it would seem strange if she were to act humbly and submissively.
The Elf King opposite him didn't seem surprised. He simply waved his hand to dismiss the elves who were still surrounding Bai Xi, and slowly walked up to Bai Xi.
Looking into his eyes, Bai Xi always thought of Haransel, who almost gave up his position as the God of the Forest in order to save the Mother Tree of Elves.
"The Elven race will not refuse the savior's request, but please wait a little while. The Elven Mother Tree has only just survived Tartarus's erosion and needs more time to grow."
The Elf King's tone carried a hint of apology.
Bai Xi was taken aback. She hadn't expected that the Elf Mother Tree would exist at this time. It seemed that the Elf Mother Tree's lifespan was longer than she had imagined.
"Can."
She had no reason not to agree; that would be too unreasonable.
The weakened Elf Mother Tree needs the Elf King's power to nourish it; it seems we will indeed need to wait for some time.
"Thank you for your understanding, Savior."
The Elf King nodded to her. Compared to the fanatical worship and groveling of other elves, he seemed unaffected by Bai Xi's aura. He showed her the respect due to her, but did not make himself appear humble.
However, this way of getting along made Bai Xi more relaxed. After all, she was still a little uncomfortable with having the same face as Harlanser.
"It doesn't matter."
Bai Xi shook her head.
Just when she thought the matter could be put to rest for the time being and the Elf King should get back to his business, he did not move. His gaze was fixed on Bai Xi’s face. It was not offensive, but it was certainly not particularly polite either.
Bai Xi looked puzzled and was about to ask when he heard him say that.
"I have never met the Savior before, but judging from your expression, you seem to recognize me?"
His question made Bai Xi pause for a moment, but she quickly composed herself and denied it.
"No, I've never seen it before, and I don't recognize it."
Bai Xi didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble.
"Feel sorry."
The Elf King lowered his eyes and apologized, his long hair covering half his face so that Bai Xi wouldn't see his thoughtful expression.
"fine."
Bai Xi didn't mind, but she seriously reflected on herself. Since becoming stronger, she had become less guarded against the outside world, her emotions were too rich, and her expressions easily betrayed her feelings. Wouldn't that make people suspicious?
Or perhaps she made it too obvious.
Because of the Elf Mother Tree, Bai Xi needs to stay in the Elf territory for a while, and Bai Xi happens to be genuinely curious about this area.
Her two previous visits were ill-timed. One was when the Elf Mother Tree was corrupted, and the Green Wilderness Forest became dilapidated and weak, leaving no room for appreciation.
One time, she accompanied Nesser back, but as a human, her movements were restricted by the elven elders, so Bai Xi didn't get to see it properly.
This is an opportunity, but the eras are too far apart, and it's unlikely there will be any similarities.
However, to Bai Xi's surprise, the Elf King seemed to be very curious about her as well. Every time Bai Xi appeared in a place, the Elf King would quickly appear nearby, as if it were a chance encounter, but not quite.
But most importantly, she privately asked the Elf King for his name—'Harlanthal'.
