Chapter 791 (1/2)
The Ancient Tree of Life’s evolution had an unusual significance towards the Elves. Heck, it could even drive the Elven Queen to experience a quantum leap in her power and strength. At this moment, these Elders had no idea how powerful the Elven Queen was now.
“Rise, my people,” the Elven Queen’s soft voice resonated through the air, allowing every Elf to hear her very clearly. Her soft, pleasant voice elicited a willing submissiveness from all the Elves.
No Elves dared to disobey her command; all of them rose at once.
The Elven Queen looked at her people with gentleness in her eyes, the way a mother would look at her children. The golden light on her body slowly became more intense and even Zhou Weiqing who was standing by her side was also brimming with this rich golden layer.
“My people, I believe you’ve all witnessed this miracle with your own eyes. Yes, that’s right! Our Elven Ancient Tree of Life had finally evolved again after thousands of years. This was definitely a God-like spectacle for us Elves.
With that simple sentence alone, the Elven Queen instantly evoked the emotions of all the other Elves. In an instance, strong cheers burst out amongst the people. Strong excitement could be seen in their eyes as all of them had their gazes fixed on her. Zhou Weiqing could even feel the strong faith displayed by the Elven people. It was apparent that all of them were concentrating on the Elven Queen now.
The Elven Queen looked at her excited people with a smile on her face. After a long while, she slowly lifted her left hand as she gestured to stop. No matter how many Elves were present, all the voices immediately died down upon her mere gesture.
“I think all of us must be very curious about what had happened when I was gone and the reasons behind the Ancient Tree of Life’s evolution. I’ll tell you now but before that, let me introduce someone to you. The human being that is standing beside me right now; he is Zhou Weiqing, the greatest Heavenly Jewel Master amongst the humans of the future.”
While she was uttering these words, the Elven Queen turned her attention towards Zhou Weiqing and the excited look in the Elves’ eyes immediately turned to a look of shock. At once, all their gazes landed on him.
Zhou Weiqing bowed his head slightly to acknowledge the Elves. As he shared a spiritual connection with the Elven Queen, he was very clear about what she was going to do next. So as all sorts of feelings welled up in his heart; he then continued to follow her lead.
The Elven Queen continued, “I’m sure everybody must be wondering why I am holding on to a male human’s hand now. It’s all thanks to him that our Ancient Tree of Life could finally evolve. It was also he, who helped rescue my daughter as well. He’s a great benefactor of us Elves and he’ll forever be the most precious ally of our tribe!”
Having heard the Elven Queen’s words, the expressions on all of the Elves changed at once. The look that they gave him had also changed as well.
Was it really this human being who helped the Ancient Tree of Life evolve? Disbelief initially filled their minds, but immediately, their reasoning reminded them that the Elven Queen would never play a fool.
The Elven Queen added, “Though it may be hard for all of you to believe what I’ve just said, I have to tell you that this is indeed a fact. That fateful day, it was Zhou Weiqing who chased the enemy who kidnapped my daughter and defeated him. When the enemy took the princess hostage, he did not mind being misunderstood by me and still gave his best to protect our little princess. Yet, due to my misunderstanding, I’ve seriously injured him and though we had succeeded in killing the enemy – he was already dying at that point.”
The moment they heard her words, a look of guilt could be seen on the twelve Elder’s faces. These Elves were actually kind in nature. At that moment, they had kept Zhou Weiqing’s women as their prisoners, yet, he still made such a huge sacrifice just to rescue the princess for their sake.
The Elven Queen continued to say, “We Elves will never repay kindness with revenge. How could I possibly watch the rescuer of my daughter die in front of me? At that moment, Weiqing’s injury was very serious and was in great desperation – I had no choice but to use the Elven Heart.”
As soon as these words left her mouth, all of the Elves were stunned with astonishment. This was because all of them knew what an Elven Heart meant to an Elf. At once, clamor burst out among the people.
“Quiet! Let Her Majesty finish her words!” The Elven First Elder exclaimed loudly without warning – a strong tyrannical aura spread out from him all at once. The Ancient Tree of Life’s evolution and the Life Saint Energy that the Elven Queen had emitted told him that things were not as simple as it seemed.
The First Elder had a prestigious status among the Elves. Under his pressure, all the Elves quieted down again.
The Elven Queen seemed to have foreseen such a reaction to take place. She continued to appear calm and composed until the racket died down again before continuing to speak calmly, “You must have thought that I’ve sacrificed too much for him, am I right? However, I can assure you that what I’ve repaid is akin to a drop of water in the vast sea, as compared to the things that he’s done for all of us. Just the Ancient Tree of Life behind me alone is more than enough to prove my words.”
“After Weiqing was saved by me, he found me to be in an extremely weak state and immediately, he used his Saint Energy to heal me at once. The Saint Energy is the most powerful attribute in the entire world and it possesses the power of creation, also known as the Genesis Energy. My life is connected to the Ancient Tree of Life; it was all because of Weiqing who had spared no effort in the Saint Energy infusion, that we finally have this evolution right in front of our eyes. I can tell you that I’ve already risen to become an empress and my Elven Heart can actually be used more than once. Not only that, the effects of the Elven Heart had completely been embedded in my body now. All of this has been made possible by Zhou Weiqing right here.”
