#1104 - Chapter 1104: Elf Blood Sacrifice
The cannons roared, lives perished tragically, and the war continued.
Countless humans, whether Imperial soldiers or armed civilians, were consumed by sorrow and rage as they fought to their deaths alongside the Elves, reduced to utter remnants.
However, their sacrifices were not in vain.
Because as their lives gradually faded away, the Empire's front lines drew ever closer to the line of life and death, as drawn by the Abyss Lord Wu Wei.
The core location of the World Tree!
At the same time, the World Tree was also issuing cries of sorrow.
Her original protective abilities and environmental modification capabilities had completely vanished.
In their place stood a massive, withered tree, a quarter of its body already metallicized.
However, beneath this massive, withered tree, on the verge of collapse, an exquisitely beautiful Elf, surrounded by dozens of other Elves, arrived before the World Tree.
Furthermore, in front of this group of Elves, there existed an extremely bizarre magical array.
Even in this extremely critical situation, the World Tree was still striving to assist these Elves in maintaining the stability of this magical array.
Until the moment of her fall.
“Your Majesty, our World Tree sapling can no longer withstand the pollution for much longer.”
“Indeed, the pollution from the Void Star God is far beyond our world's capacity to endure.”
“If the World Tree sapling dies, then even we will be unable to withstand the Void Star God's pollution and radiation, and at that time, you may also be in mortal danger.”
Several elderly Elves respectfully addressed Queen Avril.
However, Avril completely ignored all of them, and with graceful steps, came before the World Tree sapling, gently placing her hand upon it.
“You…”
“Can you still hold on?”
As Avril's voice sounded, all the Elves present were astonished to discover that a golden-haired, golden-eyed Elven infant spirit form had appeared on the World Tree.
The spirit form's condition was extremely poor; the immense radiation had brought it close to dissipation.
However, just like those human warriors,
a steadfast determination that transcended the boundaries of life and death also appeared in the spirit form's eyes.
“…”
The spirit silently nodded.
Avril smiled, gently touched the spirit's face, and softly said,
“Then thank you.”
“I am very sorry that we chose to let you sacrifice for us.”
“If it weren't for the sake of obtaining the origins of our ancestors, you could have been planted in a peaceful environment and lived for at least an era.”
“You would not have suffered such pain because of our greed.”
“Once again, on behalf of us, this group of unpromising Elves, I express our gratitude and apology to you.”
However, the spirit smiled at this moment and placed a finger on Queen Avril's forehead.
In the next second, Queen Avril heard the other party's voice.
“It's alright.”
“We World Trees are originally of the same origin as you Elves.”
“As a soul fragment of the ancient World Tree, I have been nurtured for countless years, all for this day.”
“As long as I can find a reasonable answer for our origin,”
“Then my sacrifice will be worthwhile.”
“So please do not grieve for me!”
“Go and ask, ask about our origins, ask about our future.”
“I will use my last strength to help you maintain this magical array!”
After speaking, perhaps because the spirit was too weak, it disappeared before all the Elves.
However, before disappearing, it used its last strength to wipe away a tear from the beautiful Elf Queen Avril's face.
Queen Avril silently nodded, and then she said to the other Druids and Elves beside her,
“Quick!”
“We don't have much time left.”
“We must take advantage of the World Tree sapling's ability to protect us, and ask as clearly as possible everything we need to know.”
“Let us open the Star God's will communication device for the last time!”
Hearing Queen Avril's words, the other Elves also showed troubled expressions.
However, no one was willing to speak.
After all, they had failed countless times before.
Each time they communicated with the Star God's remaining will, they failed.
The other party's current state made it impossible for them to ask for any useful information.
Even.
The communication and exchange between the two sides could not even be considered true communication!
So now they no longer had any hope.
But at this time, Queen Avril looked at her dejected subordinates and coldly snorted.
Then, she spoke.
“But this time, in order to obtain what we need, we must activate our Elven race's secret technique.”
“Let us begin the Elven Blood Sacrifice!”
