The Tree of Life falls asleep
"We are Elf!"
Upon hearing their mother's reply, the thousand or so original Elf suddenly understood.
The bright sunlight shines on this vibrant forest, at the base of the tall Tree of Life, creating a fresh and clean natural atmosphere.
It possesses both the ancient and wild atmosphere of the past and the clean, natural scenery of a sunlit forest.
The newly born Elf stood on the ground where a few leaves had fallen, looking at their brothers and sisters, and a sense of collective will arose spontaneously within them.
They spoke again, seemingly to affirm their identities.
These thousand-plus Primordial Elf inherently possessed Divinity.
"We are Elf."
This sentence was said.
The collective will of the Elf coalesced in an instant, and vanished in an instant.
But this instantaneous combination was the gathering of over a thousand Divinity, with an astonishing aura, possessing a divine will comparable to that of the sky and the earth, causing Luosi Karl and Ruiyawei in the sky and on the earth to slightly change their expressions.
Especially Luosi Karl.
A premonition arose in his heart.
"They might become my enemies in the future."
The Goddess of the Earth, however, did not have such a misconception.
The earth and life are inherently intertwined.
Life will challenge the Authority of the sky, because it is always high above, but it will not challenge the earth, because the earth has always nurtured life.
Neither the Inner Ring Sea nor Outer Ring Sea sea deities cared.
Firstly, they believed that the Elf could not affect them.
Secondly, they only have eyes for each other.
Their ocean Divinity and Authority are separate; only by uniting them can they become the true ocean Greater God.
In the Natiya Forest.
The Tree of Life gave birth to over a thousand Elf, has now burned out.
She felt a strong wave of drowsiness and felt like she could fall asleep at any moment.
But looking at the new race she had created, she still felt a sense of relief and used her last strength to give some instructions.
"I have something to tell you."
"You said, Mother."
The Elf bowed their heads respectfully, paying the highest tribute to their birth mother.
"Your birth is the crystallization of life that I created with the permission of the Creator."
"Although the Creator does not wish to appear in the world, He is omnipresent and all-pervading, all-knowing and all-powerful. Therefore, you must never lose your reverence for the Creator and for this world; otherwise, no one can save you."
The Elf nodded, bewildered.
At this moment, they are still ignorant and humble, with an instinctive awe of nature and the heavens and earth.
But the Divinity hidden within their souls also grants them the ability to conquer nature and a pride no less than that of the gods.
The Tree of Life knew all this, but she believed that her children could reasonably control themselves.
She continued speaking.
"Also, do not be an enemy of the True God!"
"You and the gods were born almost one after the other, all favored by the Creator. If you have conflicts, the Creator will not take sides. As you are now, you are no match for the gods."
Her words were suggestive, as if she wanted to leave something behind.
"So go and become stronger, kids."
"It developed into a civilization, and a mature system of spiritual practice."
"And maintain good relations with the gods."
You are qualified.
Gods are the spirits of heaven and earth, as are Primordial Elf.
Yes, Mother.
The Primordial Elf nodded obediently.
"Furthermore, the Sovereign of this continent were originally the Gaen Giant of the Anbis Mountains."
The will of the Tree of Life paused for a moment, swept its gaze over Natiya, and then spoke.
"They... helped me before. In the future, if you have conflicts, don't make things difficult for them."
"Yes."
The Elf nodded again, and Natiya's heart stirred.
"Finally, I will go into slumber. Before that, I will choose a leader for you."
"Natiya, my eldest daughter, you will be the Queen of the Elf from now on. Lead your younger siblings well."
"Yes, Mother of Life."
Natiya nodded, for some reason, she found it difficult to call the other Elf "mother".
The Tree of Life paid no heed; her ethereal voice echoed through the forest.
I believe you can do it.
Then, the aura of the Tree of Life suddenly subsided.
Then she fell into a long slumber.
But the Tree of Life remained lush and verdant, sheltering the elves from all Elf.
Elf Natiya gazed at the sleeping Tree of Life, and then at the thousand or so Elf who looked at her with clear eyes, she finally felt an immense pressure weighing on her heart.
This is the responsibility of the Elf Queen.
She took a deep breath and addressed her people.
"I am Natiya, the firstborn Elf, the eldest daughter of life. Since my mother has appointed me as your leader, Queen, I will surely lead you to survival."
After she finished speaking, she looked at the Elf, somewhat apprehensive.
To be honest, her Divinity is only slightly greater than that of other Elf; her strength is not significantly different.
If the Elf don't recognize her, there's nothing she can do.
But unexpectedly...
Every Elf looked at her with eyes full of trust.
That was the look in her eyes when she truly looked at her elder sister.
"We believe in you, Sister Natiya!"
"Queen, lead us!"
We believe in you as we believe in the mother who gave birth to us.
Hearing the Elf ' sincere words, Natiya's sense of alienation from the memories of the Gaen Giant finally vanished completely. From then on, she was simply Elf.
She smiled.
"Okay, since everyone trusts me..."
"Then let's begin building our home."
"We built our own dwelling under our mother's protection."
"I hope that when she wakes up, she will see a prosperous and thriving Elf Nation."
"Good!"
The Elf responded in unison, their synchronized voices stirring the entire forest. Countless birds and beasts flocked to them out of curiosity, drawn by the Elf ' presence.
And so, the Elf sprang into action, each taking action one by one.
Because of her experience with Giant, Natiya knew that she should first build houses.
But when she built a stone house, she found it extremely ugly and not what she had imagined.
She pushed it over, feeling annoyed.
And just then...
A bright, ethereal female Elf's voice came from above.
"Sister Natiya, what do you think of the house I built?"
Natiya looked up curiously and saw an exquisite and beautiful treehouse appearing on the branches hanging down from the Tree of Life. It was extremely beautiful.
A beautiful female Elf stood atop the treehouse, hands on her hips, a smug look on her face.
Below her.
Some of the Elf looked on with admiration.
"Yafeier, you are a true genius."
"It's so beautiful, Yafeier!"
"Elf should live in houses like this!"
"Hey-hey."
The Elf began a vigorous campaign to build their home, and slowly, a beautiful home appeared beneath the Tree of Life.
