338. The Sub-humans' Scheme
Chaotic Starfield, Celestial Lands.
The Celestial Lands does not refer to a single planet, but rather to a vast Star Domain.
This is the territory of the Spirit Clan, and also Spirit Clan stronghold.
The Spirit Clan capital is called Celestial City, a supreme holy land bathed in starlight year-round.
Fan Xing stars converge to form a vast galaxy.
The hazy starlight descended from the sky, transforming into a vast and boundless galaxy. The starlight enveloped everything in the world, coating all things with a hazy starlight, as if one had entered a legendary fairyland, shrouded in ethereal mist.
The architecture of the Spirit Clan is very distinctive.
Their houses prioritize not damaging the environment.
Even if they use trees to build their own houses, they must ensure that the houses will not affect the growth of the trees after they are built.
All the buildings are perfectly integrated with the surrounding environment, and from a distance they look like a lush primeval forest rather than a bustling city.
A towering ancient tree stands deep in the forest.
The ancient tree is so large that it resembles a majestic mountain range, and its canopy spreads out like a sky curtain.
The tree trunk is entirely silvery-white, just like the beautiful moonlight.
Upon closer inspection, one can even see countless white specks of light twinkling on the tree trunks, like Fan Xing in the night sky.
Looking up along the towering, mountain-like trunk, branches spread out like umbrellas. Among the countless fan-sized, silvery-white leaves, traces of life can be faintly seen.
Hidden among the branches is a wide tree hole, almost invisible, nestled within the lush canopy.
Inside the tree hollow was a spacious and elegant palace.
The palace's overall design resembles that of a human palace, and it is filled with various exquisite carvings and murals. Only upon closer inspection can one discover that all the sculptures and murals were not created randomly, but rather carved and depicted following the grain of the trees.
Above the palace, dozens of Riot Games- sized pearls were inlaid in various positions, emitting a soft white glow that illuminated the vast palace.
Inside the palace.
A beautiful elven woman, dressed in magnificent attire and appearing to be in her twenties or thirties, sat on a throne symbolizing the supreme authority of the Spirit Clan.
This person was none other than the Elf Queen Jaina Moon Versailles.
Jaina is the name of the Elf Queen.
The moon represents Jaina's origins; she is a member of the moon elf race.
Speaking of this, we must mention the division of the Spirit Clan.
The Spirit Clan" is a general term used by humans to refer to all elves, but in reality, within the Spirit Clan, there are completely different and more precise terms used.
They are mainly divided into two categories: elemental spirits and nature spirits.
Elemental spirits are spirits created by magical elements through special items and by chance. They are usually small goblins, often the size of a palm. Of course, there are also many ferocious beings among them, who are born magicians.
Natural spirits are necessarily complex, and can be roughly divided into three categories: sun, moon, and stars.
The Sun Elves have been extinct for many years, and now only the royal Yuezhi and the Star Elves remain.
Versailles represents the surname of the Elf Queen, and is also the name of the legendary Elf Goddess.
The beautiful woman's appearance was like a poem or a painting, exquisite beyond compare.
She had a pair of bright, emerald-like eyes that seemed to see through everything in the world. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, making one worry that they might ruin her stunning beauty.
Jaina, a powerful moon elf who has lived for five thousand years, is the oldest known being among the Spirit Clan and the strongest being in the Spirit Clan.
"Gil, you shouldn't have come."
Jaina's emerald eyes suddenly turned to the shadows of the palace, and she said with displeasure.
"With something very important happening, I had no choice but to come."
A burly man, easily three meters tall, suddenly emerged from the shadows.
He had a lion's head, and his golden mane shone even brighter than gold, cascading like a golden waterfall in the soft light.
Jaina frowned and said, "You and I both know that he needs us, which is why we've managed to survive. If they discover that we were the ones who did the dirty work, you should understand what awaits us."
Gil sneered, "Consequences? What consequences could there be?"
Our strength has reached the limit of what He can tolerate. Do not forget how our ancestors died. Once we touch the realm that only gods can touch, what awaits us will inevitably be His most severe blow, a blow that will surely kill us.
Are you willing to sit idly by and wait for your death sentence?
Jaina remained silent.
The reason why the Demi-Humans was able to survive was not because of the mercy of the Galaxy God, nor because they hid in Star Domain that was beyond the reach of humans, but because they were still useful to the Galaxy God.
However, the Galaxy God needs the Demi-Humans, but that doesn't mean he will give them the freedom to grow.
Once a powerful member of the Demi-Humans reaches a certain level, they will be cleansed by the Galaxy God.
The powerful members of the Demi-Humans were naturally unwilling to accept this situation.
In the past, no one could rival the Galaxy God, which was fine. But now that there is finally a powerful being who can rival the Galaxy God, it has inevitably made many powerful Demi-Humans have their eyes on him.
They didn't want to be like leeks, waiting to be harvested.
They want to grow freely, to grow into towering trees.
Just as Daisina had guessed, the Demi-Humans did indeed make a move, and their goal was precisely to celebrate the New God's grand ceremony.
However, instead of taking direct action themselves, they employed Demi-Humans spies lurking among humans, attempting to use the conflict between the New God and old gods to incite chaos. This way, even if any major problems arose, the Demi-Humans would not be implicated.
As for the purpose, it was naturally to make the two gods fight each other, thus securing a chance for survival for the Demi-Humans.
Jaina was aware of Gil's plan, but she chose not to participate.
Because she sensed an unease, a strong unease.
It was this warning that made Jaina give up on getting involved.
Jaina was silent for a moment, then said, "You should leave. The Spirit Clan will not participate in this plan."
Gil's face was grim, her heart filled with anger and resentment.
You despicable woman, how dare you do this!
Gil said coldly, "Jaina, have you forgotten the blood feud of the Spirit Clan, forgotten the pact established by our ancestors?"
Jaina remained unmoved.
She didn't have a high opinion of Gil's supposedly foolproof plan, and she was even less optimistic about the other party's cleverness.
If Gil had the power to fight against the gods, Jaina wouldn't mind risking the future of the Spirit Clan to accompany them in their plan to kill the gods. Unfortunately, in this world where strength is paramount, they, the demi-humans, lacked the power to oppose the gods.
Gil sneered, "Jaina, are you sure you want to refuse my offer?"
Jaina frowned, sensing that something was wrong.
But faced with Gil's questioning, Jaina remained calm and indifferent as always. "I'm sorry, the Spirit Clan do not wish to participate in this plan."
Gil narrowed her eyes and said disdainfully, "I gave you a chance, Jaina."
Unfortunately, you didn't know how to cherish this last opportunity.
Vivian, come out! From this day forward, you are the Queen of the Spirit Clan.
Vivian!
Jaina's expression changed drastically, and a sense of foreboding suddenly arose within her.
Because Vivian is her niece, the second strongest warrior in the Spirit Clan, and one of the commanders of the Spirit Clan Moon Goddess Legion.
Just as Jaina was feeling conflicted, a female elf who looked about 80% like Jaina but had a more heroic air about her entered.
She was dressed in silver armor and held a silver longsword marked with a moon.
This person was Vivian, Jaina's niece.
You've disappointed me greatly.
Vivian's expression was cold and her face was full of disappointment.
Jaina's bright red lips twitched slightly, and she finally sighed silently.
Some things are inexplicable.
This is the only chance for the Demi-Humans to break free from the restrictions of the Galaxy God, and the only possibility in ten thousand years to escape the threat of death. Therefore, Jaina can understand Gil and Vivian's choice.
However, Jaina's ability to understand their choices does not mean she has to participate in them.
She hoped that the Spirit Clan could develop steadily, even if it meant she would lose her freedom and face death in the near future.
However, the moment Vivian appeared, Jaina already understood.
Some things are not governed by one's own will.
Vivian was not only the commander of the Moon Goddess Legion, but also the chief guard of the royal palace. When Vivian betrayed them, Jaina knew all too well what would happen to the Spirit Clan.
A Civil War, an unprecedented Civil War.
This is not what Jaina wanted to see, nor is it what she wished to see.
Jaina closed her eyes slightly and said wearily, "You are heading towards your doom."
Vivian sneered and ignored Jaina.
She clapped her hands, and a large number of fully armed guards rushed into the palace.
"Keep a close eye on her. If she makes any rash moves, kill all the uncooperative elders and ministers."
Vivian gave the order in a cold voice.
She knew Jaina's weaknesses all too well.
Upon hearing this, Jaina's expression changed drastically.
"You!"
Jaina glared at Vivian as if she wanted to devour her. But soon, she slumped onto the throne, and fell silent.
Vivian has taken control of everything; anger won't solve anything.
Jaina knew that, given Vivian's personality, she was truly capable of slaughtering all those who refused to submit.
While the Spirit Clan was undergoing changes, other people were also discussing the demi-humans.
The vast starry sky.
Li Hao stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the starry sky. His right index finger gently tapped his left wrist as he fell into deep thought.
Demi-humans, the Holy See.
Sigh, why are there always treacherous subjects trying to harm me?
However, if what Daisina fears actually happens, how should it be resolved?
Li Hao pondered for a moment, then looked up at Ashe, who was standing respectfully to the side, and suddenly couldn't help but want to test her abilities.
This is not a ready-made queen.
Li Hao asked, "If it were you, how would you handle this?"
Upon hearing this, Ashe did not respond immediately.
In fact, as soon as she heard Daisina's report, Ashe had been pondering this question and searching for the most suitable answer.
And she already had the answer.
