Chapter 790 (1/2)
Seeing the bewildered look on Zhou Weiqing’s face and the deep worries in his eyes, a warm smile appeared on the Elven Queen’s delicate face, “Don’t worry, I’m just stating the possibilities. In reality, we Elves will never do that. I’ll even control the Ancient Tree of Life’s release of the vitality so as to prevent my people from becoming too powerful. Being too powerful would only bring on a bigger ambition and that is very likely to bring about a devastating disaster to our tribe.”
“Why?” Puzzled, Zhou Weiqing asked.
“It’s because of you.” The Elven Queen replied without hesitation. “If you’ve never existed and the Ancient Tree of Life had still evolved, I’d probably do as I’ve said. I believe that I would stand a great chance of succeeding as well. However, it’s exactly because of you that I will not do just that. Be it the debt of gratitude that we owe to you, I’d only bring calamity to my own tribe if I were to do as such.”
“We Elves have lived here for too long now and have long accustomed to the peace and comfort here. We don’t like killing and we’re even less willing to be involved in any disputes. Even if the Elven Ancient Tree has already evolved, things will still remain the same. On top of that, though we used to hate human beings a lot, but isn’t this evolution of the Ancient Tree brought upon by humankind? How can we possibly repay your kindness with revenge? You’re a great benefactor of the Elf Tribe – no matter where and when. Besides, I can see your future and I saw that it was you who would be standing on the top of this world. Don’t forget that the Life Saint Energy that I possess now and the Ancient Tree of Life’s evolution were all made possible by you alone. For this reason, there is nothing that you need to be worried about at all. In fact, it is us Elves that need to be worried instead. The creation of life is just a small part of creating the world. Though this part is very important, it’s still unable to be compared to the true Creation Energy. Do you understand?”
As soon as she arrived, the Queen’s heart that was seemingly closed had opened up again, allowing Zhou Weiqing to feel the changes of emotions in her heart.
Looking at the Elven Queen, Zhou Weiqing let out a smile as well, “At first, I thought you rarely come into contact with the outside world and that your thoughts would be as simple as you are. Despite my initial impression toward you – which still remains the same – I find you to be very smart. I believe that the choices you make will be the most ideal of all. I too, despise war just as much. As long as you do not initiate a war against us, we, the Peerless Sect, are willing to be the allies of the Elves. Isn’t your Ancient Tree of Life able to move now? If you’re willing, you can migrate to our Heavenly Bow Empire. Now that it has evolved, I believe that be it you or I, we’ve no idea how long our lifespan will be. Let us guard the peace that we love together, shall we?”
The Elven Queen narrowed her eyes at him, “Somehow, I feel that your intention is not as simple as it appears to be.”
Zhou Weiqing chuckled, “Humans are all very selfish. The reason I infused my Saint Energy to you is because you sacrificed your precious Elven Heart to save me, to the point that you’ve become weak as a result. Just count this as my debt you, but I did not owe anything to your Ancient Tree of Life. It has drained a lot from my body and had even almost squeezed me entirely dry. Having it migrated over would be a great repayment for me.”
After a moment of silence, the Elven Queen nodded slightly, “Alright, I promise you.”
Still staring at her, a surprised look could be seen on Zhou Weiqing’s face. In truth, he was simply joking and did not really mean what he said. He did not expect the Elven Queen to agree to it at all. Yet, it had never crossed his mind that not only had she agreed to it, she even did it very quickly. It looked as if she did not even have the intention to discuss this matter with the tribe Elders first.
Listening to the thoughts in his mind, the Elven Queen let out a faint smile, “What’s there to discuss anymore? Now that the Ancient Tree of Life has evolved, nobody in the tribe would dare to go against my wishes. Not only that, I also believe that once it has migrated to your country, there would be only benefits and no disadvantages for us Elves. I’m a very far-sighted person – do I make myself clear?”
Looking at the cheeky smile on the Queen’s face, a warm feeling resonated around Zhou Weiqing’s heart. Evil thoughts almost formed in his mind. Fortunately, he responded in a timely manner and quickly suppressed before it even came to fruition. However, his heart began to burn now. What would it mean if the Elf’s Sealed Land had migrated to the Heavenly Bow Empire?
Putting the Elf’s strength aside, just the slight leaking of the Ancient Tree of Life’s immense vitality would be more than enough for the people of the Heavenly Bow Empire to be well-fed and live in peace.
“Migrating the Ancient Tree of Life is not difficult. What’s difficult is migrating the entire Sealed Land that it’s enrooted in. We’d need a little more time to be able to do that. It’s not possible for us to do it right away,” the Elven Queen explained to Zhou Weiqing.
He replied, “It’s alright, there’s no need to rush. There’s plenty of time anyway; I can certainly wait.”
“Weiqing!” Right at this moment, a few delighted cries sounded in the air. Zhou Weiqing turned around and at once, he saw the three Shangguan sisters, Tian’er and Little Witch rushing over toward him.
