Neo stopped the two elders who still wanted to argue, "Even if I gave you a few more hours, can you guarantee the truth of the premonition? How much more ti do you need? Don’t you know the situation at the frontline?"
The two elders were montarily speechless.
They really had no way to prove it was false.
Seeing everyone silent, Neo imdiately raised his hand, "Hurry! The ancient Tree of Life must remain calm to awaken its power and supply energy to the seed. Since the premonition says the ancient tree will complete the old-for-new succession and save the tree, then there must be a way!"
"Yes!"
Seeing the two elders no longer opposing, the priests in the temple responded in unison and began to act.
Doris and Brand, the two elders, exchanged a glance, each seeing worry in the other’s eyes.
The third prince was gambling everything on this.
Sothing would go wrong.
Brand lightly waved his hand, signaling his trusted subordinate to imdiately report the situation in the Great Hall to the elven king.
At the sa ti, unnoticed by those present, with the assistance of various elves, the power of the ancient Tree of Life slowly flowed into Abe Akaya’s seed.
[Hint: Abe Akaya absorbed the ancient Tree of Life’s power... experience points 7.23 million...]
[Hint: Abe Akaya absorbed the ancient Tree of Life’s power... experience points 7.53 million...]
Fang Heng remained in spirit form the entire ti, standing beside the magic array. When he saw everyone maintaining its operation and the constantly flashing hints in his retina, a trace of excitent appeared in his eyes.
So much!
Every second was nearly ten million energy points!
Hahaha!
Big profit!
Fang Heng never expected this step to actually work!
A pleasant surprise!
The so-called nonsense about old-for-new succession of a sacred tree was just sothing he made up on the spot.
He had simply placed Abe Akaya’s summoning magic array at the center of the magic array earlier, and when Abe Akaya’s array was activated, they imdiately ford a ntal connection allowing Abe Akaya to imitate the seed’s form.
Then he fooled the elves.
Originally, Fang Heng didn’t expect everything to go so smoothly; he was just betting on about a ten percent chance, like drawing a lottery.
Even if he failed, it didn’t matter because the front battle was still consuming resources.
He never imagined that this unknown third prince of the elves would be so fierce, forcefully opposing all objections and firmly standing on his side.
Fang Heng wondered—they didn’t even know each other...
Why so much help?
The elves’ ancient Tree of Life had been maintained for tens of millions of years, while Abe Akaya hadn’t even reached five years.
Its contained energy strength was actually higher than Abe Akaya’s.
A direct confrontation would be unwinnable.
But now, with the elves’ help, through the magic array’s operation, the ancient Tree of Life’s power was being fiercely absorbed by Abe Akaya!
Moreover, the energies seed to share the sa origin, with an alarmingly high absorption rate and speed!
It wouldn’t take long before the power gap between Abe Akaya and the elves’ ancient Tree of Life would quickly narrow.
Fang Heng observed the magic array’s operation from a distance.
Every extra second ant a huge amount of energy gained!
...
At the elves’ Guardian Temple.
Elder Deborah suddenly opened her eyes wide, sensing sothing was wrong with the ancient Tree of Life.
What was happening?
Why was the energy of the ancient Tree of Life dissipating so rapidly?
Even when facing the Seed of Ouroboros mutant worm crisis, and the elves had activated the ancient tree for defense, it shouldn’t be consud this quickly...
At this rate, the Tree of Life’s energy would be completely drained by tonight!
Because the energy was flowing away so fast, the ancient Tree of Life began to feel restless.
Deborah quickly condensed an imprint in front of her, trying to calm the ancient tree.
The elves’ secret arts could control the ancient Tree of Life to so extent.
Yet the energy outflow showed no signs of slowing; instead, it was accelerating!
This made no sense.
Why was it flowing out so fast?
Deborah’s expression changed repeatedly.
Coincidentally, the elves’ second prince, seriously wounded not long ago in battle against the mutant worms, was receiving healing from the sacred tree inside the temple.
He opened his eyes and asked, "Elder Deborah, has sothing happened?"
"Hmm, sothing’s wrong."
Deborah was about to send soone to investigate when two elven priests hurried over, kneeling on one knee to report.
"Reporting to Great Elder."
"What is it?"
"The third prince’s order is for us to fully cooperate in calming the ancient Tree of Life and completing the tree’s old-for-new succession."
Old-for-new succession?
What nonsense was that?
Deborah furrowed her brow sharply, saying, "Explain exactly what happened!"
"Yes!"
The guards imdiately recounted everything in detail.
Deborah’s expression shifted multiple tis.
Sothing was wrong!
The third prince had definitely been deceived!
Deborah stood up at once and said, "This matter is problematic. Imdiately order the third prince to stop the magic array’s operation!"
The second prince, Lucio, also sensed sothing amiss and tried to stand up, supporting himself with his right hand.
However, as soon as he exerted force, a tearing pain shot through his shoulder.
"Hiss!"
Lucio gasped sharply.
Looking down, the aura of death still lingered over his wound, which had already begun to rot and was continuously spreading.
Such a strange mutant worm creature!
"Second prince, your wound hasn’t healed yet..."
"No need to persuade . The third brother has been blinded by the Flying Squirrel Clan, and you can’t stop him. I must go myself," Lucio said, forcing himself to stand.
"We’ll go find the third brother together!"
"Yes."
Deborah imdiately ordered everyone to calm the ancient tree and hurried off with a group toward the temple.
At the frontline battlefield, the elven king was leading the elves against the mutant worm swarm.
The swarm’s numbers were terrifying.
But that wasn’t the worst part.
Until now, despite trying all thods, the elves could not find a way to completely kill the mutant worms other than relying on the ancient Tree of Life to drag them underground and seal them.
This had never happened before when facing disasters in other star systems!
Huh?
The elven king noticed the defensive barrier supported by the ancient tree flickering and frowned.
What was going on?
After flickering several tis, the barrier began to gradually shrink and retreat.
As the protected area shrank, the vines and roots of the ancient tree visibly withered rapidly outside the barrier, while the mutant worm’s fungal mats quickly spread to occupy the areas vacated by the receding barrier.
This was bad!
The power of the ancient Tree of Life was rapidly weakening!
