Chapter 265: World Tree and the Creator
Chapter 265
The capital of the Crystal Rock Empire is located in this villa in the wealthy area. It is surrounded by green trees, fragrant flowers, and the sound of birds singing, like a paradise on earth.
The brook in the garden flows gently, exuding a leisurely and tranquil atmosphere.
The environment here is indeed refreshing.
However, although the picturesque scenery outside was attractive, Evelyn and Lynn had no intention of enjoying this leisurely mood.
The two were sitting in the hall on the first floor of the villa, talking in low voices, and the atmosphere was slightly solemn.
"Are you so heartless as to hand over your Quetzalcoatl bloodline?"
There was a hint of astonishment in Lin En's eyes. Obviously, he didn't expect Evelyn to agree to the Golden Throne's demands so decisively.
Evelyn had finally refined the Quetzalcoatl bloodline to the critical point. As long as she spent more time practicing, she would be able to break through to the realm of the Golden Throne and truly step into the realm of the powerful.
But if she offered her blood to the sacred tree as required by the Golden Throne, she would never be able to break through to the level of a golden alchemist.
The golden throne that is so close before our eyes will probably become an unreachable regret forever.
However, Evelin just smiled softly, her long legs crossed, a hint of beauty hidden under her skirt, but it quickly disappeared.
She held her chin and looked at Lin En leisurely, as if looking at him playfully, and asked slowly:
"What else? My Lord Layton, with so many Golden Thrones present, if I don't agree, will I be forced to agree?"
Her voice was soft and somewhat teasing, as if she was hiding some kind of helplessness in her heart.
"Why not take the initiative to agree in exchange for some resources. At least, I can preserve the inheritance of the Quetzalcoatl. Those golden thrones and those 'uncles' are disgusting, but I'm afraid we will have to rely on them as the backers of the Quetzalcoatl in the future..."
Lin En frowned slightly, and a subtle embarrassment and self-blame flashed in his eyes.
After all, Evelyn had not originally planned to come here, but to retreat and concentrate on breaking through to the realm of the Gold Alchemist.
But after Lynn's repeated persuasion, they hurried here.
The purpose of Lin En's trip was not simply for Evelyn's decision, but more to take this opportunity to collect information about the Golden Alchemist and prepare for the moment when his own deity descended.
However, no one expected that things would turn out like this.
The Golden Thrones verbally agreed to the two conditions proposed by Evelyn.
But then he turned around and asked her to "take the initiative" to contribute the blood of Quetzalcoatl.
Lin En knew very well that most likely they had learned the secret between the sacred tree and the bloodline of Quetzalcoatl from the captives of the Creation Society, and thus came up with this idea.
As for whether these golden thrones can really track down the mysterious world tree with the help of Quetzalcoatl's bloodline and the sacred tree, Lin En is not sure.
But no matter what, the current situation made him feel a little guilty.
After all, if he hadn’t insisted on bringing Evelin here, things might not have developed to this point.
Evelin, on the other hand, seemed much more free and easy at the moment.
She curled her red lips slightly, looked at Lin En with a smile, and said in a gentle tone with a hint of ridicule:
"Lord Layton, don't blame yourself too much. I don't blame you. After all, this was my own decision."
She paused, blinked, and smiled even more:
"Of course... If you really feel guilty, why not... let me have a taste of your 'compensation'?"
"After all, those 'uncle' thrones have said... As long as I have a child, the Quetzalcoatl will be protected by them... So, for the Quetzalcoatl, Lord Layton... You have to help me."
Before she finished speaking, Evelin’s soft red lips slightly opened, and her pink tongue gently licked her fingertips.
The action was extremely simple, but beneath her stunning face, it seemed to reveal a heart-swaying charm.
Lin En coughed twice, his eyes wandered slightly, then he stood up neatly and said:
"Ahem...I've had some problems with my practice recently, so I need to calm down for a while."
After saying that, without waiting for Evelin to reply, he quickly left and slipped away.
It’s not that he has no feelings for Evelin, but right now it’s just a clone that’s here.
This kind of thing...after all, it is better to leave it to "the master".
Watching Lin En's "fleeing" back, Evelin's eyes, which seemed to contain stars, dimmed slightly for a moment.
She seems free and easy, but how could she be calm without any ripples after losing the chance to break through to the Golden Throne?
Golden Alchemist, Golden Totem...
That was her lifelong goal and the key to her revival of the Quetzalcoatl.
But now, this goal will remain in dreams forever.
"In fact, I did have a chance to escape at that time... If I were alone, I might still have a 10% chance of survival..."
She thought silently, a bitter smile with a hint of resentment appeared at the corner of her lips.
"But if he did that, he would surely die..."
In silence, Evelin slowly leaned back in her chair and stretched, her figure graceful and beautiful like a painting.
Unfortunately, no one appreciated this scene.
She licked her lips and whispered to herself, with a hint of affection in her eyes:
"But... in order to save you, Lord Layton... you can't run away."
………………………………
Everything that happened in the Golden Hall of the Alchemist Alliance did not cause the slightest ripple in the outside world.
After all, apart from Lynn and Evelyn, all those present at the meeting were at the Golden Throne level.
No Golden Throne would casually publicize such a shameful and unfair story.
As a result, the capital of the Crystal Rock Empire, and even the entire continent, remained calm.
No one knew that the game between the top leaders had already ended quietly.
At this moment, the biggest news sweeping the world is still the glorious achievement of the Principality of Cuilan and the Quetzalcoatl Order joining forces to severely damage the Creation Order and capture its core members alive.
This news was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the Principality of Cuilan, enough to quickly stabilize the turbulent situation in the country;
It is also an encouragement and inspiration to all countries that are still in a stable state. Even a strong organization like the Creation Society is not invincible.
Even the usually calm Crystal Rock Empire announced a three-day national celebration to demonstrate its confidence and stance in fighting against the Creation Society.
This is an attitude to the outside world, and also a declaration to the inside world:
Darkness is not scary, victory will eventually belong to the side of light.
However, in this atmosphere of national celebration, one "big news" after another seemed to spread quietly in the shadows:
For example, Karen, the heir of the Sky Wing, "announced" that he would go out to travel and practice in seclusion, with no return date;
For example, Evelyn, the leader of the now powerful Quetzalcoatl, decided to stay in the Crystal Rock Empire and put her plan of returning to the Principality on hold;
Another example is the Golden Throne Fire Demon King, who took the initiative to go to the Principality of Cuilan to guard its safety...
Each of these pieces of news is very important, but they have not been officially announced and have not become a hot topic.
They are like undercurrents hidden beneath the water, unnoticed by most people.
On the surface, the world is still immersed in the carnival of "Quetzalcoatl's great victory over the Creation Society" and "Alchemist Alliance's iron wall of unity".
In the aftermath of this victory, Quetzalcoatl will dispatch the alchemists of the Crystalline Empire.
Except for Lynn, Evelyn and a few wizard apprentices under Lynn, the rest have returned to the Principality of Cuilan.
Evelyn knew that the Quetzalcoatl now regarded the Principality as its foundation, and she was currently in the Crystal Rock Empire, so she couldn't help but feel worried.
So he ordered the alchemists to return as soon as possible to consolidate the control of the Quetzalcoatl.
On the contrary, Lynn had other plans.
This opportunity to come to the Crystal Rock Empire was a rare one, so he simply dispersed the wizard apprentices around him, infiltrated various parts of the city, explored the terrain, familiarized himself with the environment, and quietly made plans for the future arrival of his "original self".
After all, Evelyn was forced to give up her Quetzalcoatl bloodline. Although she did not say much, Lin En knew very well that all this was related to him and he could not escape or avoid it.
All of this will eventually have an explanation.
What's more, those alchemists are now trying to use the blood of Quetzalcoatl and the power of the sacred tree to open up a path leading to the World Tree.
Once the reception is successful, it will not only be an opportunity for the Alchemist Alliance to counterattack the Creation Association headquarters, but also an opportunity for Lin En himself to descend.
By then, all causes and consequences will be settled.
………………………………
Time passed slowly, and the Alchemist Alliance's plan regarding the "Sacred Tree" and the "Quetzalcoatl Bloodline" was finally officially put on the agenda.
In the core area of the Alchemist Alliance, a newly built secret place has quietly taken shape.
This place is surrounded by high walls and is heavily guarded. Only the Golden Throne and a very small number of people who are personally recognized and absolutely trusted by the Crystal Throne are qualified to enter.
Inside the secret base, there are multiple security guards and training grounds on the periphery, filled with patrolling alchemists and mechanical guards.
The real core is a flat and fertile land.
There was nothing above the land, except for a small emerald green tree standing quietly in the center.
That is the seedling of the sacred tree.
Lynn accompanied Evelyn here to prepare for today's "blood nourishment" ceremony.
There was also a special being traveling with them, the Golden Throne, the Arctic Ice Phoenix.
He is a man with long hair. Because of his totem, his temperament is as cold as frost, and there is a natural alienation in his words and actions.
But at this moment, he rarely forced out a stiff and forced smile, and stood with the two of them in front of the sacred tree.
Evelin raised a piece of her flawless white arm and lightly touched it with the jade finger of her other hand without hesitation.
Tick!
Tick!
Crystal clear blood dripped slowly from her slender white arms, like the purest gem in the world, quietly falling on the branches of the sacred tree.
With each drop of blood that fell, the sacred tree swayed gently, and its branches and leaves trembled slightly, as if greedily devouring a holy object.
Its branches gradually increased, and the leaf buds began to stretch out, full of vitality.
The expression of the Arctic Ice Phoenix finally revealed a hint of joy from the bottom of its heart.
But Lynn’s eyes fell on Evelin beside him.
Her body was trembling slightly, and her originally rosy face turned slightly pale.
He subconsciously stretched out his arms and gently held her slender waist, silently providing support for her.
The whole process lasted for a long time, until Evelin’s breath became weak and her face turned as pale as paper, and today’s blood nourishment came to an end.
Three days later, the next nourishment will have to start again. In such a short time, Evelyn can only recover a little bit. If this continues, it will inevitably cause problems with her foundation.
The sacred tree in the center of the secret place is slowly waking up.
The price is the most precious "golden possibility" in Evelyn's bloodline.
Just as the Alchemist Alliance was devoting all its efforts to cultivating the sacred tree, the Creation Society became unexpectedly silent.
This is so abnormal that it is almost weird.
You know, this time, the Quetzalcoatl and the Principality of Cuilan not only slapped the Creation Society in the face, but also gave it a loud slap in the face in public!
Never before had an operation ended in such a degree of failure.
Not to mention disrupting an entire country, the Genesis Society put all their efforts and invested a lot of manpower and resources in this operation, but in the end they failed to capture even an entire province.
The only ones that really had an impact were, at best, a few viscounts.
What is even more shocking is that all the core members of this operation were arrested!
The Alchemist Alliance took the opportunity to publicize this victory, and the news spread almost throughout the entire continent.
For those countries still struggling with chaos and despair, this was undoubtedly a shot in the arm, greatly boosting their morale and confidence in resisting the Creation Society.
And within the Creation Society, this piece of news was more like a heavy hammer, hitting all of their believers hard in the face, making them look hideous and unconscious!
The direct consequence of this humiliation was that it alarmed the supreme being.
Creator.
The one who is always mysterious and never easily interferes with specific actions.
Now, he actually took action personally!
You have to know that the daily operations of the Creation Society, even the extreme combat plans, are only organized by members of the Elder Council like Klaus or other core backbones.
But the true mission of the Creator goes far beyond worldly affairs.
He is in charge of the original pillar of the Creation Society: the World Tree.
The World Tree is the root of the Creation Society and the key to what they call the "New Era".
Only when the World Tree grows completely can the Creation Society realize its great ideal of "breaking the old era and building a new world."
But now, even he had to go out in person just for the failed Cuilan Principality operation.
………………………………
At this moment, in a dreamlike void.
There is no distinction between heaven and earth, no up or down, left or right, and no concept of the passage of time.
It seems to belong to no world and is not bound by any laws.
The air was filled with indescribable colors like a dream. Purple, pink, dark blue and chaotic spots intertwined into a hazy glow, flowing slowly like the tide.
Deep in this dreamy void, a giant tree stands quietly.
It was a gigantic tree that seemed to be floating in the air. Its trunk penetrated the heaven and earth, and its branches and leaves stretched out like thousands of veins, extending into the unknown distance.
It is both unreal and extremely concrete.
It is, none other than, the World Tree.
But at the place where the World Tree is, there is a figure. This person is the creator of the Creation Society.
However, the Creator, who seemed omnipotent to the believers of the Creation Society, was frowning at this moment, as he encountered an unsolvable problem.
