"I understand." Hearing the Wood Elf Elder's words, Yang Di immediately stood up from his chair and respectfully bowed his head.
This expressed his attitude.
Then Yang Di extended both hands and received a token with a emerald green luster, like jade, that the Wood Elf Elder handed to him.
"This token represents our Wood Elf tribe. If my brother sees it, he will understand that this jade token being given to you signifies the beginning of a grand plan for our Wood Elf tribe."
The Wood Elf Elder's expression grew a little complex, and he sighed softly, saying to Yang Di, "He still retains some memories and his sanity, and he also identifies with the Wood Elf tribe. While his sanity hasn't completely faded, I believe he should understand what to do."
"Yes, I've interacted with that Lord before, and he was very friendly to us," Yang Di replied.
"Friendly? No, he is no longer a member of the Wood Elf race. His so-called friendliness is merely a remnant of his feelings for the Wood Elf tribe from his surviving memories. If the fluctuations of extraordinary power once again fill the Blue Star World, and the power of death spirit rules strengthens again, then these unnecessary emotional fluctuations will be expelled from his decaying body, and there will be no emotions left at all."
As the Wood Elf Elder spoke, he seriously looked at Yang Di, warning him, "At that time, his so-called friendliness will turn into a lingering obsession. He won't understand the reason for this emotion, and will only be driven by death spirit rules because of it, launching even more cruel attacks and invasions against the Wood Elf tribe."
As he spoke, the Wood Elf Elder leaned back tiredly in his chair and closed his eyes, a pained expression on his face: "The deeper his feelings for the Wood Elf, the more profound the cruelty that will erupt when he is driven by death spirit rules."
"My apologies, I was not aware of this." Yang Di paused slightly, then bowed his head again, his voice filled with apology: "If I had known this, I would not have asked you for the token to cooperate with that Lord from the Black Arrow Tower Seventh Dynasty."
The deeper the cooperation, the more brutal the retaliation would be in the end, which for Yang Di meant it was akin to playing with fire.
"It's fine, no need to apologize. This is all due to death spirit rules; everything is caused by death spirit rules." The Wood Elf Elder sighed, not opening his eyes, but simply waving his hand at Yang Di, signaling that he could leave: "We actually don't have that many conflicts with the Human Race. We even have only one enemy, and that is death spirit rules. The reason for the current friction is simply to accumulate power to resist death spirit rules. The current minor frictions and conflicts are negligible; in the future, we still need to unite to fight against death spirit rules. I hope you can remember this."
"Yes, I remember, esteemed Wood Elf Elder." Yang Di stood up, carefully put away the token, then bowed again and backed out of the Great Sky Terrace.
...
...
After Yang Di left the Great Sky Terrace, the Wood Elf Elder finally opened his eyes.
At this moment, he extended his hand, and with a flash of green light from beside him, a green light butterfly, about the size of a palm, instantly formed.
More accurately, it should be a tiny natural energy spirit, palm-sized, with butterfly wings.
It was a magical creature created by the Wood Elf Elder.
"Wood Elf Elder, do you have any instructions?" the natural energy spirit asked.
"Go notify my friends to come to the meeting hall below the Great Sky Terrace for a meeting," the Wood Elf Elder slowly said, a complex expression on his face: "No matter what work they have, stop immediately now. Even if I say so, it is also my strict requirement."
"I understand." The small natural spirit, like a butterfly, immediately flapped its wings, turning into a green light, and quickly disappeared from the Great Sky Terrace.
If one looked closely, they would notice that the tiny natural spirit was flickering as it moved.
Its speed was extremely fast.
In just half an hour, it had already notified all those whom it understood should be notified, the so-called friends of the Wood Elf Elder.
And in the meeting hall, these senior managers of the Wood Elf race, all dressed in luxurious attire, had gathered.
They were all Elders of the Council of Elders.
There were 12 people in total.
They were all highly skilled mages, archers, and warriors.
Most of them had already touched the threshold of the legendary level.
Of course, truly being only half a step away from entering the legendary level, like the Wood Elf Elder, was different. Although they had touched the threshold, they still needed to continue their arduous cultivation and enlightenment of natural energy to reach the Wood Elf Elder's level.
This was also why, even though they were all top-tier powerhouses, they still held the Wood Elf Elder in such high regard.
Firstly, it was because the Wood Elf Elder was the oldest, and secondly, because of his strength.
And now, all these Elders of the Council of Elders were gathered here, respectfully waiting for the Wood Elf Elder to arrive.
No one whispered, and no one conversed.
They were just waiting patiently.
"Alright, everyone, please sit down." And at this moment, a green light flickered at the Wood Elf Elder's seat, and his figure appeared there.
The Wood Elf Elder held his staff and then gently gestured for everyone to sit down.
At the same time, he looked at the Elders who were still trying to bow to him and said, "There's no need for so much ceremony. We have very important matters to discuss now. The first matter is about the Blue Star World, and the second is about the Black Arrow Tower Seventh Dynasty."
"We understand, please speak, esteemed Wood Elf Elder." The Elders all sat down in their respective seats, 12 seats prepared specifically for them.
"Then I shall speak." The Wood Elf Elder relayed the situation he understood to them, which included the plan Yang Di had discussed with him and various matters concerning the Black Arrow Tower Seventh Dynasty.
However, after the Wood Elf Elder finished speaking, regarding the plans proposed by Yang Di, these Elders did not object or say much. They exchanged glances and nodded, agreeing that it was a good plan.
But their expressions changed when it came to the matters of the Black Arrow Tower Seventh Dynasty.
They clearly knew more, but at this moment, they dared not say much, as they understood that the one currently in control of the Black Arrow Tower Seventh Dynasty was the Wood Elf Elder's own brother.
Furthermore, during the End War, their Wood Elf tribe's reserve forces did not advance to save that brother who willingly stayed behind, sacrificing his life and the lives of all the Wood Elf elite legions to create an escape opportunity for them.
Even if they had charged forward, there was a high possibility of a successful rescue.
Yet, it was still rejected by the Wood Elf Elder.
Although previously, they had descended upon their Wood Elf Village and selected that Blue Star Human named Yang Di to become the Wood Elf Elder of the village, they also coincidentally discovered that the Undead Legion existing beneath Long City was actually an Undead Legion born from Wood Elves.
The two sides maintained a relatively harmonious relationship, and the Wood Elf Elder's own brother also understood why they hadn't gone to rescue him at the time.
However, this did not mean that these Elders could interfere in this matter.
Especially since the Wood Elf Elder was still alive and in charge of the entire Wood Elf tribe, they could not say much.
Everything was to be decided by the Wood Elf Elder.
And the Wood Elf Elder, seeing that they clearly felt an opportunity and did not want to say much, also sighed and slowly said, "As you all know, during the End War, death spirit rules were simply too powerful. Although we initially withstood the Undead Legion's attack and even counterattacked, the Death God who controlled death spirit rules detonated the final divine war, causing the crystal wall system to shatter, which in turn made the rules of death infinitely vast. We had no choice but to sacrifice the elites at the front to gain our escape."
"Yes, these are all facts." The Elders of the 12-member Council of Elders all nodded. This was indeed as they said, all true circumstances.
No matter who it was, they could only make such a choice in the end.
Every word, every sentence, every detail was spot on!
Otherwise, if the Wood Elf race were to perish in the destructive fate along with the terrifying energy of the crystal wall system's shattering caused by the End War,
Then he would be a sinner to the Wood Elf race.
Moreover, at that time, it was also the Wood Elf Elder's own brother who nodded and agreed to his sacrifice, and those elite legions also nodded and agreed to use their lives to momentarily block the terrifying energy, allowing them to actively split off planes from the crystal wall system and gain a chance to escape.
Those selfish individuals, in that terrifying energy of the crystal wall system's shattering, because no one was willing to resist that terrifying energy,
As a result, their race is now on the brink of collapse. If they hadn't discovered the Blue Star World, they would probably have been completely annihilated long ago.
Furthermore, even if they discovered the Blue Star World and could set up their presence there, they couldn't successfully gain more benefits due to their weakened foundation, and could only be slowly dragged to death by them, like long-line fishing.
This is why the Wood Elf faction can now calmly and slowly establish itself in the Blue Star World.
And the villages they established were not just Yang Di's Wood Elf Village.
There were many others, about a hundred.
They were all distributed throughout the Blue Star World.
It was only because Yang Di's Wood Elf Village happened to discover the Black Arrow Tower Seventh Dynasty in Long City, which was the former Wood Elf elite legion completely transformed by death spirit rules, that it received so much attention.
"But what I want to say is, because the extraordinary energy in the Blue Star World is not abundant, my brother can still maintain his sanity. But once our communication with him increases, and after the extraordinary power of the Blue Star World grows, then he will be manipulated by the established rules, and perhaps bring us more trouble."
"You also know that when they die, their inner obsessions and past memories will turn into a kind of obsession directed at their original family, race, and land. What they once wanted to protect and guard when alive will ultimately be distorted by this obsession into an evil force that seeks to slaughter and devour."
"I understand my own brother; his feelings for the Wood Elves and our homeland, this plane, are unique and very profound. I am now afraid that after we have more interactions with him, once he loses his sanity and completely turns into an undead puppet, we will have to face his brutal attacks."
"And not just him, but also the various elite soldiers who once belonged to the Wood Elf race."
"If they launch an attack at that time, it will be a very serious matter for us."
The Wood Elf Elder slowly spoke.
And these Elders of the Council of Elders exchanged glances, seeing the solemnity in each other's eyes.
They had known about this matter before, and now that the Wood Elf Elder had spoken it, they understood the urgency even more.
However, just now, the great Elder had already said that he had given the token to Yang Di, which meant that Yang Di's village in Long City would cooperate with the Black Arrow Tower Seventh Dynasty. And now they could also feel that the extraordinary power in the Blue Star World was gradually increasing.
Doesn't that mean that although the Black Arrow Tower Seventh Dynasty will cooperate with the Wood Elf Village in Long City now, there will definitely be more intense conflicts in the future?
And it's important to know why they now attach so much importance to the Wood Elf Village, and why they hold this Wood Elf Village in Long City in such high regard.
The reason is that there are secrets left by a deity in Long City.
Secrets that even they desire to obtain.
If this Wood Elf Village in Long City were to be destroyed, it would mean that their most important chess piece would likely encounter problems.
Although it wouldn't be a devastating blow, the initial investment was not small, and it would still cause them some heartache.
"Then, esteemed Wood Elf Elder, what should we do?" These Wood Elf Elders finally turned their gaze to the Wood Elf Elder.
"I have created a spell that uses natural energy to create natural sprites." The Wood Elf Elder slowly extended his hand, and as a green light flickered in his palm, the natural energy sprite, like a butterfly, reappeared in his palm.
It gently flapped its butterfly wings, beautiful, delicate, and quite interesting.
These Elders looked at each other, not understanding the Wood Elf Elder's meaning.
"Alas." The Wood Elf Elder sighed. He understood that the collapse of the crystal wall system had severely impacted their heritage, so these Wood Elves no longer understood his meaning.
But the Wood Elf Elder still said earnestly, "You don't need to know the specifics, but what you need to know is that if we can rescue and purify the surviving souls of those Wood Elves, there's a chance to turn them into these natural energy sprites. This way, they will no longer be controlled by death spirit rules, living in a daze, but will return to our side, becoming our friends and helpers."
Finally, the Wood Elf Elder looked at them and said earnestly, "And you also know that we Wood Elves are a branch of the High Elf, who have already disappeared into the river of history, and it is said that High Elf were also energy beings." (End of Chapter)
