Chapter 245 When we enter history again
Silver-grey secret power spreads in the sea water.
Covering everything in this square with a mysterious color.
?The color is like crystal, diamond or silver.
Under the influence of this mysterious power, not only did the surrounding things freeze quickly, but the Elf Temple here was also "rebuilt" in an incredible manner!
?Oh no, rather than "rebuilding", it''s more like making this temple...
Go back to the state before it was destroyed? !
“Wait, look below! In the square...”
“Oh God, what on earth is this…”
??The tree people above who were fighting Yan Yan were not stagnated immediately due to the distance.
So, they were able to see this incredible scene—
The entire square was dyed silver gray.
The glorious temple that had been lost long ago and existed only in legends and memories rose up out of thin air in the silvery gray light.
“Is that hall the elven temple?”
“That’s the statue of the goddess of life!”
Soon, the mood of the tree people changed from shock to intense panic.
Even though these tree people have accepted the [Seed of Life] and become believers of the [Giant Wood God].
But no matter what, the goddess of life is the mother goddess of the tree people and occupies an extremely important position in their long history.
In legend, the oldest tree man was transformed from a leaf of the goddess of life.
—In fact, if the power of the goddess of life had not become weaker and weaker over the years, the tree people would not even be able to hear his voice, and they would not embark on this path of betrayal.
At present, the reconstruction of the Elf Temple and the gaze of the goddess statue are obviously regarded as a miracle by many tree people!
?So now, will the goddess of life impose divine punishment on them?
?Just thinking about this possibility makes many tree people feel uneasy and panicked.
Among them, Fana, Nigel, and Gelis, who had recently turned their backs on trees, showed the strongest expression.
“How is it possible? Hasn’t the goddess of life already...”
Fana’s eyes widened in astonishment.
But soon, it crept down like crazy and begged with the utmost piety.
“Goddess, please forgive me for my crime. I was forced to...”
However, before Fana finished speaking, a silvery gray mysterious power enveloped it, freezing it in the moment of kneeling down to pray.
?Like a ridiculous and sad sculpture.
?Not only Fana, but also the other tree people in the square came to a standstill under the influence of the silver-grey secret power.
At this time.
The tree people above the square saw a scene they would never forget.
I saw that the companions covered in silver and gray seemed to have shed a layer of false shells, revealing their true appearance -
On the deformed and filthy carpet of flesh.
Surrounded by weird, ugly, flesh-like and plant-like beings.
The dry and rotting mummies were making shrill, silent wails.
“This, this…”
Nigel looked at this scene blankly: "How did they become like this?"
A ridiculous idea emerged unconsciously.
“Could it be true what those humans just said?”
??If we talk about the light curtain shown by Xia En and Yan Yan before, it can also be explained by illusion.
?So now, the picture that is affected by the power of the goddess of life and appears, is it also part of the illusion?
Shu people''s hearts inevitably felt strongly shaken.
at the same time.
Yan Yan, who was surrounded by tree people, suddenly exerted his strength, moved quickly, and blazing flames surged out, burning all enemies that stood in his way.
And the direction he was heading towards was the gate of the Elf Temple.
?With the last experience, Yan Yan naturally knew that this silver-gray substance was Captain Xia En''s mysterious method of returning to the past.
As the only crew member currently accompanying the captain, of course he has the obligation to go forward and retreat with Xia En!
Something strange happened soon.
?That silver-gray secret power obviously has the ability to freeze time and space, but when it fell on Yan Yan, it unexpectedly had no effect.
It’s like…
Time has not left the slightest trace on him.
?In this way, while Yin Hui''s secret power expanded outward, Yan Yan came to Xia En''s side without any hindrance.
?This scene made Xia En’s eyelids twitch.
?However, Yan Yan is his teammate after all, so Xia En won''t panic.
Actually, Xia En was completely unprepared for the changes in [Instant Time] and the retrieval of the Elf Temple and the God Statue.
He never thought that such a change would suddenly occur.
But think about it carefully.
?Shaan suspected that the source of this power to retrace time and space may not be the silver pocket watch, but...
The power of the goddess of life!
It is impossible for the Goddess of Life to not pay attention to the former temple and this [City of Giant Woods].
It is very possible that when the goddess of life left, she left a secret and special power in the temple.
?It wasn''t until Xia En''s arrival that he took the silver pocket watch as an opportunity to activate this magical power.
Finally achieved the miracle of traveling through time and space.
From a certain perspective, this is indeed a miracle.
?Thinking about it this way, there was a similar principle in the Elf Temple in [Emerald Ancient City].
?This can also explain why there is no talk about traveling through time and space in the description of [Instant Time].
It can be said that the silver pocket watch is just the key to open the door to the past.
?The remaining power in the Elf Temple is the source of time and space retrieval.
?Many distracting thoughts flashed through Xia En''s mind.
Soon, he put away his distracting thoughts, turned his head and looked at the door of the temple in front of him, and said decisively.
“Yan Yan, let’s go!”
Having come here, is there any reason to retreat?
Immediately, the two figures walked into the depths of the temple one after another...
…
…
咚!
Dong dong dong!
At the same time as the statue of the goddess was being remodelled.
In the center of [City of Giant Woods], the huge, tumor-shaped heart suddenly began to beat very dullly.
Each blow seemed to hit the [Seed of Corruption] in the bodies of the tree people.
The tree people nearby naturally felt a strong sense of panic, and their whole bodies were shaking like chaff.
“What’s going on?”
“I feel...the wrath of the Lord!”
“Has anyone committed an act of blasphemy?”
??The tree priests who were closer to the heart were panicked.
This is the first time since they took this position that they feel the wrath of the gods.
At this moment, a tree man with a unique appearance spoke.
“Don’t panic.”
“Just a few annoying little bugs.”
??This tree man has a very different appearance from its kind. The left half of its body is completely consistent with that of a human, but the right half of its body still retains the characteristics of a tree man.
Half man and half tree.
The two are combined in a way that is completely separated and contradictory, giving people an indescribable and strange feeling.
The surrounding tree people were all much taller than this half-human, half-tree alien in terms of size and height, but they all showed respect and fear for this person. They quickly responded: "Yes, great priest."
In the [City of Giant Trees], the high priest is the tree man closest to the [Giant Wood God].
? It was also once regarded as the incarnation of the will of the [Giant Wood God] and the agent of the god.
“I will personally take action and use my absolute strength to tell the remnants of the old era that the new era has arrived!”
The great priest said calmly: "And [City of Giant Woods] has no ships to carry them!"
…
…
Click!
At the moment when the silver light spread across the execution square.
??Yris in the black forest suddenly opened his eyes.
?The old and withered face showed an extremely strong surprise.
Without hesitation, it began to pull out the roots buried under the sand, and conveyed its will to all the tree people in the black forest.
“Let’s go!”
“Today is the moment to decide the fate of [City of Giant Woods]!”
In fact, Iris is not unable to move, but it requires a huge price—
?Its roots have become integrated with this black forest, and are intricately tangled in the mud.
In other words, if Iris wants to go somewhere, she must bring the entire black forest with her!
At this time, following Iris''s actions, the surrounding seafloor immediately began to tremble.
??Many trees in the black forest are entangled by its roots and brought out of the sand.
?Such a big movement naturally woke up all the tree people in the black forest.
?Wend rushed to Aerys’ side first and couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
??Bi Jiong, before, Elder Yliss was still unwilling to go to war. Why did he change so suddenly?
Wen De asked cautiously: "Sir, what happened?"
“Why did you suddenly decide to take action? You also mobilized the tree people in the entire forest..."
Iris looked towards the direction of the execution square, still muttering in disbelief: "A miracle! They really brought a miracle!"
“And this is our only chance.”
A sharp look flashed across its face and it said firmly.
“Since we want to bet, we must put all the bets on it!”
…
…
Xia En naturally knew nothing about the changing situation in [City of Giant Woods] at this time.
When he entered the Elf Temple and looked into the eyes of the statue.
?It seems like a very short second has passed, and it seems like an extremely long century has passed.
?Shane opened his eyes.
There are no crazy tree men around, and there is no silver-grey brilliance anymore.
Instead, there is a clean and tidy Elf Temple.
Looking out through the door and windows, the outside world is a dense forest, and it seems to be raining heavily.
?With the experience of traveling through time last time, Xia En calmed down a lot.
But he couldn''t help but let out a long breath and smiled at the corner of his mouth.
“Sure enough, I went back to the past again.”
?Although Xia En still hasn’t figured out the principle of traveling through time and space, these two encounters show that he is on the right track.
As long as you continue to explore other elven temples, there is the possibility of going back to the past.
“I don’t know if I can see Laila in this day and age?”
Xia En thought to himself: "Or...change history!?"
The destruction of the elves seems to be an established fact.
If you want to change this, you can only start from history.
But what worries Xia En is still the closing effect of the timeline, or in other words, the inevitability of history.
If everything he did in the past would be in vain and ruthlessly erased by history, would it still be meaningful?
Xia En was inevitably worried about this.
?However, he has experienced so many things and his mind has long become very determined. Of course, he will not stop moving forward just because of worries.
After putting aside his distracting thoughts, Xia En took out two black robes and put them on himself and Yan Yan like last time.
Let’s just pretend it’s a disguise.
At this time.
?There was a sound of footsteps outside the temple.
“How could we meet someone else by chance?”
Xia En thought for a while and hid in the corner of the hall with Yan Yan.
After all, their current image is really unflattering, and they are the kind of people who would have no problem being regarded as suspects as "little black men".
Soon, a steady male voice sounded first.
“It’s raining so hard, Your Highness, why don’t you take shelter in this temple for a while?”
Immediately, another younger voice responded: "Uncle George, just call me young master outside."
“But why don’t we use magic to block the rain?”
George replied: "After all, this is the territory of the elves. Using unnatural spells rashly will easily arouse the hostility of the tree people and elves."
“You have a special status and need to be more careful...”
While talking, the two of them had already arrived in the hall of the temple.
??The man walking in front was a man with a short beard and a long sword on his waist. He seemed to be in his prime and had a very vigorous temperament.
At a glance, you can tell that he is a "knight" or a "guard".
Behind him, followed a handsome and weak young man.
The young man is dressed in a noble manner, and the clothes on his body are of exquisite workmanship.
Combined with the titles of "Your Highness" and "Young Master" just now, it is obvious that his status is either rich or noble.
The only shortcoming is that this young man seems a little too immature, as if he has not experienced many hardships and tests.
Since he was just here to take shelter from the rain, there was certainly no need for Xia En to do anything.
Just when he was planning to wait quietly for the heavy rain to stop and for the two of them to leave.
George''s hawk-like eyes swept across the hall, seeing some water stains remaining on the ground and smelling the fishy smell of sea water.
—That was a little bit of sea water that Xia En and Yan Yan brought with them when they traveled through.
Suddenly, George''s expression changed and he looked towards the corner of the hall.
“Who is it? Come out!”
As he spoke, he had already drawn the long sword from his waist.
?The sharp meaning made Xia En raise his eyebrows.
?Judging from the aura displayed by the other party, he is at least a fifth-level powerhouse!
How come you are so strong when you meet a stranger?
?Xia En complained secretly, but soon regained his balance.
After all, we are living in a strange history, so it might not be surprising to encounter legends!
Thinking about it for a while, I didn’t do anything bad anyway.
Xia En simply walked out openly and said, "We are also here to take shelter from the rain."
“It just happened to happen, no offense intended.”
?George looked suspicious and a little unbelieving.
??The appearance of these two people wearing black robes looked suspicious.
??But if the killer was trying to kill His Highness, he should have made a sneak attack long ago.
At this time, the young man who seemed to be a noble looked at Xia En and the two of them curiously.
“Are you also visitors to this meeting of nations?”
