Chapter 165
The scenes before my eyes were all scenes of the hellish invasion that the Emerald Forest had experienced.
This dream itself is composed of the memories of the elves. When the dream was broken, Ye Bai also glimpsed these memory fragments.
The flames of war were projected into Ye Bai's silver pupils. Even though these memories only contained images and no sounds, he could still feel the cruelty of it.
Ye Bai sighed and understood Inollucia's previous fierce hatred.
According to the Lower Queen, her memory was split into three. The Lower Queen had the memory of constructing the Emerald Dream after the war, while the Middle Queen's memory remained at the stage of that war.
In this situation, it would be unreasonable for Inollucia not to explode when facing an outsider with the aura of purgatory.
And now...what will happen after this dream is shattered?
Whether it was out of empathy or because of the two previous fruits of the Tree of Life, Ye Bai did not want to fight with Inorusia unless he had no choice.
However, what she saw was just a broken dream, and no experience points were gained. Perhaps there was a high probability that Inolucia in the middle level had not died, but she was not sure whether the system's mechanism required killing all three queen clones to count as experience points.
Ten seconds passed in a flash. After the silver protection effect disappeared, Ye Bai found himself still falling in anxiety. The only good thing was that he was not harmed by the environment in this situation.
If I fall like this, will I fall directly out of the dream, or will I return to the queen in the lower level?
While Ye Bai was daydreaming, he suddenly felt a corner of his clothes being pulled, stopping his falling trend.
Ye Bai immediately looked up and saw that it was a familiar hairy mouth that was pulling at his cloak.
"Ottophis!" Ye Bai shouted in surprise.
At critical moments, we still have to rely on our magical donkey!
Upon hearing this, Ottophis winked at Ye Bai in an arrogant manner. There was no ground around, but no one knew where it got the strength and foothold. After throwing its head back, it also "threw" Ye Bai up.
Following Ottophis's action, the next moment, Ye Bai felt that he was no longer falling, but was thrown up and finally landed on a soft cloud.
Ye Bai looked down and saw a soft green ground under his feet, from which came the familiar energy of the Tree of Life.
"Is this still a dream?"
"Ahhh!"
After exchanging a glance with Ottophis, Ye Bai looked around and soon spotted the only special existence in this strange space—
Tree of life.
Of course, to be more precise, it is part of the trunk of the Tree of Life.
At this moment, the empty space where Ye Bai was located seemed to meet the definition of the "middle layer". It was like a cloud layer in the sky, and the trunk of the Tree of Life pierced through the cloud layer, revealing some branches.
Ye Bai walked step by step towards the location of the Tree of Life.
Beside the trunk of the Tree of Life, the light points of the elves' consciousness danced like fireflies around a green figure that was converging.
Ye Bai was naturally very familiar with the outline of this figure. It was the Elf Queen Inorusia who had been petrified and shattered before.
Seeing this scene, Ye Bai's heart moved, and he remembered what she said when facing the Queen of the Lower Level before, that the entire Emerald Dream was constructed by her and the Tree of Life.
The special nature of dreams, coupled with the terrifying recovery ability of the Tree of Life...so even though Ye Bai had just used the Petrifying Gaze to severely injure Inorusia and shattered her dream, she was still able to use the power of the Tree of Life to slowly recover.
The aura of purgatory... should be gone now, right?
Ye Bai, who was approaching, thought of this and stopped hesitantly.
If we look at it from the perspective of a BOSS battle, if the Elf Queen in front of him holds a grudge, then it will probably enter the second stage. Ye Bai's several important life-saving methods have been consumed in the shattered dream. If the fight breaks out again, the most effective way is to use the time rewind to cast the petrifying gaze.
At this moment, Inollucia, who was condensing into a human form, also noticed Ye Bai and took the initiative to ask:
"Who are you?"
Hearing Aino Lucia's calm yet curious tone, Ye Bai was slightly stunned, and then realized something: "You don't remember?"
Hearing this, Ainolucia paused and said uncertainly, "As you can see, I'm not in good condition right now because... I can't remember, maybe it's related to an invasion... Oh, I remember now, it was an invasion from Purgatory."
As the voice sounded, Ye Bai, who had a somewhat strange look on his face, saw that the figure being constructed became clearer, and he could already see the beautiful facial features of Ino Lucia.
At this moment, Aino Lucia was looking at Ye Bai: "Guest, what is the purpose of your visit? I feel the pulse of the Branch of Life in you. Although the memory is not clear, I know that it is very important."
Looking at Inollucia's attitude at this moment, Ye Bai completely confirmed that the breath of purgatory that the other party had felt before came from the petrifying gaze, and the battle that had taken place before seemed to have been "reset" with the shattering and reunion of the dream, and was forgotten by the current Elf Queen.
After all, the three elven queens today are fragmentary memories. The memories of the lower-level queens may be able to move forward, but for the middle and upper-level queens, their memories are forever frozen at a certain stage in their lives.
After realizing this, Ye Bai breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm here to get the other key."
As he spoke, seeing that Ino Lucia was still in a state of fuzzy memory, Ye Bai told her what he had learned from the queen of the lower level about her being divided into three parts.
"I see. No wonder I always feel like my memory is incomplete..." Inollucia suddenly understood. "Thank you for telling me this."
After saying this, Inollucia seemed to have thought of something else: "Guests are coming..."
Hearing this familiar tone, Ye Bai knew what would happen next.
Sure enough, the next moment, a light shone on the figure of the returning hospitable Inolucia, and a space channel appeared from the side, connecting to some branches of the Tree of Life.
Immediately afterwards, two familiar emerald green fruits flew out and landed in front of Ye Bai and Ottophis next to him.
Oh, this... how sorry I am.
Ye Bai couldn't help but subconsciously glance at Ottophis next to him. Sure enough, the other party was already happily chewing on the food with a carefree and cheerful crunch.
I still need to learn more from Comrade Ottophis!
So Ye Bai enjoyed the fruit of the tree of life again.
[You have consumed a 'Tree of Life Fruit', Health Limit +4000; Psychic Limit +2000; All Attribute Limits +30; Experience Points +1,000,000]
The third Life Tree Fruit still retains the same effect as the first, but the fourth will weaken the effect... But, is there a fourth time? Thinking of the existence of an upper-level queen, Ye Bai showed a blush.
Inollucia looked at the other end of the space channel in surprise: "Huh...are the numbers so small? Damn it! They must have been stolen by those damned Purgatory villains!"
Ye Bai, the 'Evildoer of Purgatory': "Ahem... ahem..."
After eating the fruit of the Tree of Life, Ye Bai remembered many of his previous questions and continued to ask the queen in the middle level about the past.
The queen, who was still undergoing a "memory reset", only had a rough outline of her memories, not many details. However, Ye Bai learned a new piece of information that he had not known before:
"The trigger for the Infernal invasion seems to have been a civil war among the human race... Two major human principalities suddenly erupted in civil war, and one side eventually summoned Infernal creatures to fight, leading to an Infernal invasion of the surface."
"The Infernal Lord wanted to use the Tree of Life as a fuel to turn it into the second Infernal Core, so the Emerald Forest was chosen as its first target."
Ye Bai listened attentively and could fully understand why Purgatory chose the Emerald Forest as the first choice for invasion. As the embodiment of the law, the Tree of Life was more gentle and its vitality was equally strong. If it could truly be integrated into the core of Purgatory, then the Emerald Forest could probably become a new Purgatory.
But what she didn't expect was that the initial fuse would appear among the human race.
The two major duchies of the human race, one is close to the Deep Sea Clan, and the other is close to the Void Spirit Clan. Could the sudden civil war be related to these two clans?
In Ye Bai's impression, these two tribes are really not related at all. The deep-sea tribe's coming ashore will weaken their combat power, and they are only closer to the human principality because of the coastal area. They should not be interested in things outside the sea. The most worrying thing is probably how to feed their boss Kraken.
As for the Void Elves, their hidden and intellectual nature can be seen. If the elves are hermits, then the Void Elves are like sages. This group can be said to be a scholar per capita. Apart from the pursuit of knowledge, they have little interest in other things.
Ye Bai thought for a moment, then pressed on, "Do you know the reason for the civil war among the human race?"
Inollucia tried to recall it, then said uncertainly, "We don't often come into contact with humans, so we don't know much. It seems that something has changed with the Hollow Spirits."
It's actually a ghost...
Ye Bai got an unexpected answer. The human race occupied the largest surface area in the divine realm and was most prone to intrigue and friction among themselves. So, if any changes happened to the Void Spirit Clan at that time, the Principality of Gaowa would be the most affected, which indirectly led to a civil war between the two principalities.
"You have no memories before that? Do you still recall any information about the God-King and the Great Annihilation?"
"My memory probably started from that time. The Great Annihilation... Yes, the Great Annihilation is coming. The key is the key to stopping it, but I don't know what the essence of the Great Annihilation is. As for the God-King..." Inollucia's face had recondensed at this time. She frowned, as if she had encountered a troubling problem.
Ye Bai waited for a long time, and finally Ino Lucia shook her head helplessly.
"About the God King... perhaps you can ask me from the higher-ups."
After a conversation, Ye Bai obtained more information and, with the help of the middle-level queen, finally reached the Emerald Forest at the top.
As he traveled through space, the scene in front of him changed. After seeing the environment on the top level clearly, Ye Bai couldn't help but be stunned.
Unlike the lower and middle floors, the upper floor is unexpectedly narrow.
There is no forest full of rare fruits or dangerous plants here, but only an open space like a small island, surrounded by endless void fog.
In the center of the clearing, there grows a miniature version of the Tree of Life.
Inolucia, who had just said goodbye a moment ago, was now lying under the tree, her golden hair loose and her eyes closed. The light from the sky that fell from somewhere cast a touching light and shadow over her.
This scene is extremely beautiful, so beautiful that it carries an inexplicable sadness, making people not want to destroy it in the slightest.
With Ye Bai's arrival, the sleeping Elf Queen seemed to sense something and slowly opened her eyes.
"You're finally here..."
As she murmured, Inollucia's light blue eyes fully opened and she looked towards Ye Bai.
The next moment, the Elf Queen's confused eyes suddenly lit up:
"king?!"
"Ah?" Ye Bai was caught off guard.
At the moment Ye Bai spoke, Inollucia was also stunned for a moment, and then seemed to be completely awake. She blinked, and the light in her eyes dimmed in disappointment:
"I'm sorry, I slept for too long and my consciousness was hazy, so I made a mistake... Hello, I am the King of Elves, Inollucia."
