"That scent is so familiar..."
"I think I've remembered what I needed to do..."
"But it doesn't seem very clear..."
As the Holy Tree sensed the lingering aura in the space, her thoughts surged and fluctuated, yet it was as if an impenetrable veil separated her from what lay within.
"Your His Highness Sacred Tree, would you like me to call Nicola and Su over?"
Bai Ya asked seriously.
The Holy Tree's spirit rarely appears before the Elf race, not even Bai Ya herself. When she sometimes wants to ask the Holy Tree for its opinion on decisions within the Elven Empire, there is almost always no response.
But now the Holy Tree not only appears in the Administrative Hall, but also seems to be very unstable.
Anyone who sees this situation would be worried.
After all, the Holy Tree is the foundation of the Elf race. If something happens to the Holy Tree, the Elf race will not fare much better.
"No need." The Holy Tree's spirit shook its head and then vanished instantly.
Bai Ya was stunned for a moment, then asked curiously, "Could it be that the Holy Maiden possesses something that the Holy Tree cares about very much?"
"I wonder where the Holy Maiden went this past year, and how her return has attracted the attention of the Holy Tree."
The only surprising thing was that the saintess suddenly turned into a soul; otherwise, there didn't seem to be any special aura. Bai Ya thought for a while before refocusing her attention on the documents in front of her.
Before leaving the Administrative Hall, the Holy Tree recalled receiving a World Tree Fragment from Su, which he had used to reward her with a special talent.
[Holy Tree - Symbiosis].
This talent allows Su to be resurrected through her power every time she dies.
In a sense, Su's soul is already bound to hers; as long as she doesn't get into trouble, Su won't get into trouble either.
But now, through this talent, the Holy Tree sensed another profound and familiar aura on Su, and this aura would only leak out in very rare circumstances.
"Is Su currently in a soul state?" The Holy Tree quickly sensed the current state of her saintess.
Through the connection to perceive Su's condition, one senses something very far away, and another senses something very close.
The distant feeling was Su's body, seemingly very far away and unresponsive; the closer feeling was Su's soul, which could be sensed growing at an incredible speed.
If she continues to grow at this rate, it will become increasingly difficult for her to revive Su.
Why is this happening?
The Holy Tree's thoughts were somewhat chaotic, not only due to the influence of that familiar aura, but also because Su's soul and body had actually separated without its knowledge.
[Connect]...
The Holy Tree decided to go and see what was going on for itself.
Following the threads connecting the Holy Tree and Symbiosis, the Holy Tree arrived in the real world. It was her first time in Su's world, but nothing in the real world was worth her attention.
Continuing along the connecting threads, past many unseen humans, she arrived at the top floor of a building.
There were many strange machines inside. The Holy Tree glanced at them, and an idea inexplicably surfaced in its mind.
Good, basic data storage devices...
The Holy Tree didn't know why she had this idea; it was the first time she had ever seen these things.
He shook his head and then came to the illusory [Gate of Reality].
"The consciousness of the Holy Tree of the Elf race...?"
Elysia had been staying at the headquarters of the China Adventurer's Guild, and now that a huge consciousness energy body had appeared in the association, she was naturally able to sense it immediately.
And they followed her trail to the top floor.
People along the way greeted Elysia, but she didn't even have time to respond because this consciousness felt very familiar to her; it possessed its own laws of creation.
It is the Holy Tree of the Elf race!
Upon reaching the top floor, Elysia finally saw this consciousness.
Regarding the Holy Tree's design, it's based on the World Tree from human imagination. In the original game's ending, the player battles the Fallen Ones, ultimately leading to the Seven Evil God destroying the continent and shattering the primordial Yuan Continent. To save the Yuan Continent, the player must help the Holy Tree collect [World Tree Fragment], allowing it to evolve into the World Tree and support the entire Yuan Continent...
Then she appeared in person as the Creator God and destroyed the Evil God.
This is the main storyline that runs throughout the entire Yuan Continent.
The result was roughly like this. The final outcome she was led to from the various mission settings was this. However, due to the influence of aliens in her previous life, this ending seemed to have no chance of happening. After the alien invasion, a large number of humans died, and the remaining humans were not strong enough to resist the Seven Evil God. At the same time, the Seven Evil God also set their sights on outer space. Compared to the continent of the Meta World, the starry sky was more suitable for them.
In this lifetime, Su Xi ruined the entire mission. Now that the Elf race and dragons haven't turned against each other, and the two strongest races aren't fighting, and the Yuan Continent isn't plunged into the chaos of war, how will the Holy Grace Divine Cult recruit members, and how will the Fallen Ones faction have a chance...?
Therefore, the ending of the Yuan Continent in this life will probably be changed, and it may even go in a direction she doesn't know.
"Can you see me?"
The Holy Tree frowned.
She realized that she didn't even know who the person in front of her was.
"You have Esti's aura on you. Are you Esti?" When the Holy Tree was probing her identity, it sensed a faint flow of rules, the aura of the Pleasure Deity, Esti.
Elysia was a little amused and exasperated, and said, "No."
"Oh."
The Holy Tree then returned to calm and decided to pass through the illusory "Gate of Reality" to see what was inside.
She sensed a very familiar presence through the door, a presence that made her eager to go and explore.
"What could it be...?"
The Holy Tree murmured and stepped into the [Gate of Reality].
Elysia was a little helpless. She couldn't say that she was Yuan Yi, because the more people knew that she was the Creator God Yuan Yi, the higher the risk of exposure, even if the other party was the consciousness of the Holy Tree of the Elf race.
So for a moment, I didn't have any reason to ask her what she was doing here.
"Strange, isn't the consciousness of the Elf race Holy Tree supposed to be inactive? Why would it suddenly appear here?" Elysia looked at the [Gate of Reality] with some confusion.
According to Su Xi, the starry sky lies beyond the [Gate of Reality].
What in the starry sky attracted her?
Have no idea.
Never mind.
In any case, given her strength, she shouldn't encounter any problems in the starry sky. Besides, she hasn't collected World Tree Fragment yet, and her divine status hasn't taken shape, so she won't be captured.
It should be fine, right?
Elysia thought to herself, lacking confidence.
There are too many uncertainties in the starry sky. Let's wait for Su Xi to come back and talk to her about this.
