"What the hell is going on?!"
Staring at the center of the distant mountains, the middle-aged guard twisted his thigh hard. The severe pain made him understand that this was not an illusion - so he was even more shocked.
The mountain peak... cracked? !
Under the astonished gaze of the guards, the center of the Origin Mountains could not help but tremble. The main peak covered with vines, moss and shrubs seemed to have been split by a giant ax with a giant axe, split into two, the mountain wall collapsed, and countless gray-brown mountains The rocks collapsed and the dust and mist rose and spread. Thousands of brown tree roots sprang out like living creatures, and then assembled in an orderly manner to form a huge wooden hand.
This hand seemed to be carved from ancient wood, entwined with green light, and looked indestructible. It descended gently and slowly, and came to the front of the volcanic dragon. The huge half-dragon was only as big as a thumb in front of this wooden hand. It also seemed to be shocked by this scene. It was probably because of the reminder from the person on its back that the volcano dragon reacted from the shock and walked to the palm of this giant hand.
On the airship, no one could make a sound. Everyone was stunned and their minds went blank. They didn't even realize what they had seen.
For a long time, after the wooden hand retracted and led the half-dragon and his party into the underground cave, they woke up as if from a dream. Suddenly, noisy discussions filled the entire airship. Some people suggested leaving this place as soon as possible, while others said I want to get closer and observe.
That kind of terrifying existence could kill them all with just a wave of his hand, but for some unknown reason, many elves felt extremely close to that giant hand.
Standing aside, the middle-aged guard looked complicated. He touched his heart and murmured: "What is that... It is so majestic, but it makes people feel extremely kind..."
On Hei's back, everyone except Joshua was equally shocked and speechless.
Ying and Lin looked at everything around them in surprise. As gods, the most magnificent buildings they had ever seen were the Imperial City Wall and Winter Castle Academy at night, but those two buildings were really far apart from this hand. Even if compared with it, it will be eclipsed by the Nissii Snow Mountain. Naturally, the half-dragon is not much better. As a half-dragon whose predecessor was just a hybrid dragon and horse, it has no memory and knowledge inherited by the race. The giant hand was the largest moving thing it had ever seen in its life.
The Paladin is also confused. Unlike Hei and the God Machines, his knowledge is extensive, but no matter how extensive it is, there is a limit. It is so easy. The power to separate the mountains and change the terrain in just one breath is obviously legendary, and even possible. More than that, in the face of this kind of existence, no matter how extensive his knowledge is, it is insignificant.
When the giant hand moved, Loranda wanted to ask Joshua what was going on, but before he could ask the calm warrior, the wooden giant hand stopped moving and turned into countless trees again. A vine appeared, and the Paladin also saw the huge existence in front of him, and was immediately shocked and shut his mouth.
In a huge underground cave that is so vast that it can accommodate several cities, there is a giant tree that towers to the sky. Its shell is gray-white, as if it has been completely rocked. Countless branches top the top of the cave, and even spread to the outside, forming on the surface. It formed a series of peaks and hills, and its tree roots formed the ground of the cave. Countless green light groups surrounded it, dyeing the entire underground cave into a green color.
Just when the three people and one dragon stayed in place and couldn't help but exclaimed and shocked by the surrounding scenery, a green light group slowly appeared in front of Joshua, with countless faces appearing in it, and the crowds of trees were The soul glanced at everyone, and then said to the warrior: "Come on, come closer." After saying that, the light group turned and floated away in the direction of the giant tree.
"You kept us waiting for too long."
Joshua nodded and said. He didn't seem shocked at all. Neither the power of tearing apart mountains, nor the giant hands comparable to mountain peaks, nor the giant trees that could support the heaven and earth could move him. Warrior Turning around, he said to his friends behind him: "Don't be in a daze, get ready to leave."
After finishing speaking, he took steps and followed closely behind the souls of the forest.
The group of people quickly followed.
The quality of the air and the density of magic elements in the cave are far superior to those in the outside world. The fresh air is not only full of vitality, but also has a concentration of magic that would cause rejection by ordinary people. The half-dragon just takes a deep breath and accidentally... Spewing out a ball of fire, both Ying and Lin watched helplessly as their psychic bodies shone with magical fluorescence.
Along the way, no one spoke. Even the Paladin and others were full of doubts, but they all moved forward in silence. When the giant tree in front of them became bigger and bigger, and it became like a wall of trees, the floating green light group Then he stopped moving.
They arrived at the base of the giant tree.
Observing the surroundings, Joshua spotted a conspicuous entity not far away at a glance. He raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "What is that?"
Not far ahead, close to the bottom of the tree wall, is a human-shaped wooden statue. His left hand is pressed against the stone bark of the giant tree, and his right hand is pressed against his heart. He seems to be facing the giant tree. I swear, this elf's hair has not yet become lignified, and the fiery red hair is fluttering in the wind, like a ball of flame.
"who is he?"
Joshua asked the silent souls of the forest again. He looked very interested: "Why are you here? And turned into a wooden statue."
After a while, an ethereal voice came from the light group: "He is the Elf King of this generation. It was he who came here to wake me up not long ago."
There was no emotion audible in the heavy echoes: "He is a true king who sacrifices everything for his people. He is even willing to dedicate his life and soul after death to save the souls of all elves."
Hearing this, Loranda subconsciously looked up at the top of the cave. Countless bright or dim soul lights floated from the endless sky, submerged into the mud and rocks, and finally merged into this huge tree. .
Those are the souls of the elves who died tragically under this 'natural disaster'.
"Yeah."
Joshua nodded slowly, thoughtfully, but he still shook his head and questioned: "But this is useless. No matter how strong a person's soul is, it cannot carry millions of souls."
Not to mention saving.
"No, if it's anyone else, it really won't work."
But the Soul of the Forest retorted with its voice like thousands of people speaking at the same time, "But if it's this person, it's okay."
The faces of many elves flashed in this green light group. Among them were wise old men, noble queens, overlords who took conquest as their own mission, and sages who mastered the secrets. They all looked at the man who closed his eyes and transformed into a child. The elf who made the wooden statue has many faces, voices, and even souls overlapping here: "He created this country and opened a new era."
“All people in this kingdom are his people.”
"Maybe we can't do it with his power, but we can. As long as we use his soul as a guide, we can incorporate the souls of all the elves in this civilization into our bodies, so that these unwilling children can have hope of rebirth."
"This is our responsibility."
Its voice was so powerful that the underground caves were filled with echoes. The fresh wind blew and made everyone's clothes rustle. The huge pressure flashed past, making everyone present Everyone felt the pressure like the sea. Hei took a step back suddenly, and then let out a long warning groan. The Paladin couldn't help but call out the soul weapon, holding up the big shield, and looked at the green light vigilantly. The group, while Ying and Rin all hid behind Joshua, using the warrior's body as a barrier.
The opponent's power is so powerful that if it is revealed inadvertently, everyone will be extremely vigilant.
Against this gust of wind, Joshua stretched out a hand to press down his hair. He was silent for a while, and then suddenly said with a smile: "Sure enough, such a powerful force... This is the first time I have seen the legendary existence."
The warrior looked a little emotional. He looked at the Soul of the Forest, as if he was seeing an ancient legend: "Soul of the Forest, this is your self-proclaimed name, but in ancient times, you clearly had another name."
"The creator of elves, the master of forests and mountains, the sage with all faces..." Recalling the name he was called in his previous life, Joshua said calmly: "Your Majesty, the god of elves and forests, the father of nature."
He bowed slightly to the green light group and the tall tree that towered above the sky, and said with a smile: "I am honored to be able to face the true form of a god."
