Chapter 1445: The Elven Godtree

Jian Chen frowned as he slowly glanced over all the people present . His gaze stopped on the figure of the Elven Godtree for some time before he looked at the formation drawn by the illusionary branch . The formation had connected all the soul fragments from the people on the mountain and was channeling it into the War God Hall as a wondrous type of energy .

However, Jian Chen was unsure as to what was going on in the War God Hall . He could clearly sense that the War God Hall was even more powerful than the Beast God Hall . His soul could not penetrate .

Jian Chen stared at the bright divine hall for a while before a sliver of determination appeared in his eyes . With a single movement, he headed toward it .

The door to the divine hall was not closed . Jian Chen was slightly worried about Tie Ta, so he wanted to enter to check on him . Although the war god of the Hundred Races possessed the faith of the entire race, this ceremony was just far too odd . The entire process was being directed by a mysterious, ancient tree, so Jian Chen had to take precautions . After all, something like this had happened to the white tiger in the past as well .

“Sovereign Jian Chen, do not approach the War God Hall…” The Saint Emperors all cried out as they rapidly ran toward Jian Chen . They wanted to stop him .

However, Jian Chen had already arrived before the War God Hall . He was so fast that even the Saint Emperors were not able to catch up to him .

“Sovereign Jian Chen, not only will the war god suffer severe losses if the ceremony is disturbed, but even the nine hundred ninety thousand people on the mountain will suffer a great backlash, which would be almost irrecoverable…” Seeing how they could not catch up to the Jian Chen, the Saint Emperors sent him a message through a technique as quickly as they could . Worry filled their faces .

Jian Chen paused and after a slight moment of hesitation, he made his way to the door . The divine hall gave Jian Chen an impression that it was extremely powerful, but the more powerful something was, the more difficult it was to control . He believed that no one present could control the divine hall, so they obviously could not use its power .

The moment Jian Chen headed toward the entrance, the Elven Godtree suddenly moved . With a flash of green light, a branch that was several meters thick blocked the entrance .

The branch was illusionary and completely condensed from tremendous life force, but it stopped Jian Chen in his steps .

A gleam of light flickered through Jian Chen’s eyes, and he suddenly turned toward the Elven Godtree that extended into the sky . His gaze gradually sharpened, as if he wanted to see through the tree .

“This king knows that you are worried about the safety of the war god . Do not worry, the war god’s status among us, the God race, is not something you can imagine . We would never do something detrimental to the war god . ” An obscure voice rang through Jian Chen’s head . It came from a female, and it was gentle but dignified .

Jian Chen became stern in a single moment . He expanded his soul in all directions and became filled with caution . He did not know where the voice came from at all .

“Are you the one talking to me?” Jian Chen asked gruffly as he stared at the figure of the Elven Godtree nearby .

“This ceremony is extremely important to the war god . Nothing can go wrong . Before the ceremony ends, do not enter the War God Hall, or you will end up injuring the war god instead of helping him . ” The obscure voice appeared again . Jian Chen was still unable to find its origins . As soon as the voice finished speaking, the ancient branch at the entrance of the divine hall was removed .

Jian Chen did not try to enter the divine hall any longer . Instead, he stood there as he stared at the Elven Godtree . He was certain that even if the speaker was not the tree, they were still closely connected to it .

“Who are you? Are you the spirit of the Elven Godtree?” Jian Chen asked again . He was very perturbed . He had never thought that such a grand existence hid among the Hundred Races .

It was impossible for her to be a Saint Emperor, since just being able to communicate to him without revealing her position was not something Saint Emperors could do .

“Three days later, the ceremony will end . Before then, I hope you will not disturb the ceremony, just in case you cause it to fail . ” The voice rang out again and completely ignored Jian Chen’s questions .

“Alright . I’ll wait here patiently for three days,” responded Jian Chen before he left the War God Mountain . He waited patiently, hovering away from the mountain, but his gaze was fixed on the ancient tree the entire time .

The Saint Emperors who did not take part in the ceremony all looked around with uncertainty . Doubt filled their eyes . One of them could not hold back their curiosity and asked politely, “Sovereign Jian Chen, may I ask who you were talking to? Is there a mysterious expert that we cannot sense here?”

Jian Chen remained silent . He understood that the obscure voice was probably only audible to him .

Three days later, the nine hundred ninety thousand people opened their eyes . Their faces were pale and haggard . They seemed extremely weak, but they were all filled with emotion . The gazes they directed at the War God Hall were filled with respect that came from the bottom of their hearts .

The figure of the Elven Godtree disappeared, returning to a branch that was stabbed into the ground . It was carefully collected by the elven Saint Emperor . The force of life in the surroundings disappeared with the figure of the tree . The formation had completely vanished, leaving only the War God Hall shining as bright as it had been before, rivaling the sun .

The vegetation that had grown on a small part of the continent, because of the teeming life force of the Elven Godtree, began to wither after it lost its source of life . The vegetation would soon be reduced to dead grass .

“Looks like the ceremony was successful . The ancient method in the records is right . ” The Saint Emperors of the Hundred Races all expressed their joy . The ancient method originated from the War God Hall and, after the countless years it had been around, this was only the second time it had been used .

The branch that had conjured the Elven Godtree had been examined countless times by Jian Chen’s soul before it was collected by the elven Saint Emperor . “It’s an ordinary branch . There’s no other secret to it aside from its terrifying life force,” Jian Chen thought . He could not help but think about where the Elven Godtree actually was .

At this moment, a terrifying presence radiated from the War God Hall . Tie Ta emerged from the divine hall with long strides . He let out a lustrous light and stood three meters tall . His bearing was very dignified .

Jian Chen looked at Tie Ta and smiled from the inside . He knew that his friend had truly grown .

This growth was not an increase in strength or age but in temperament .

“We welcome the war god’s emergence!”

All the people on the War God Mountain, including the Saint Emperors, kneeled and bowed to Tie Ta . Their faces were filled with reverence from the bottom of their hearts, as if they were welcoming a god .

Tie Ta seemed to ignore their kneeling . He looked at Jian Chen . One of them stood outside the divine hall while the other stood beyond the outskirts of the mountain . They stared at one another . A few seconds later, Tie Ta took a step and arrived before Jian Chen instantly . He patted Jian Chen’s shoulder heavily and smiled, “Jian Chen, I never thought that you would come to the Wasteland Continent to look for me so soon . I was undergoing the Soul-offering Ceremony a few days ago and was cut off from the outside world, so I’ve made you wait . ”

Tie Ta’s strength was very great . If Jian Chen was not in possession of the Chaotic Body and was not so powerful, he probably would have struggled to endure Tie Ta’s force .

“Your ceremony is very strange, actually requiring the souls of so many people . I was worried about you and almost charged into the divine hall . It’s good seeing you fine now,” Jian Chen smiled faintly .

“The ceremony is very strange . However, this ceremony has been passed down since the ancient times . It condenses the souls of nine hundred ninety thousand people to create the soul of the axe of the warring gods . The previous war god, uncle Aergyns, experienced this ceremony as well,” said Tie Ta . Afterward, the axe imprint on his forehead began to shine, and a small golden axe flew out, turning into an awe-inspiring war axe in Tie Ta’s hands .

“I learned after coming to the Hundred Races that the weapon in my hand can only display its greatest power when its form is fused with its soul . The axe I used before was only composed of the form and not the soul . The ceremony I just went through was to condense the soul of the axe, fusing the form with the soul,” Tie Ta said as he stared at the golden axe in his hands .

Jian Chen looked at the axe and could clearly feel its changes . The axe seemed like an inanimate object that had gained life . The pressure radiating from the axe became even more effective on the soul .

“Jian Chen, let’s go and catch up properly in the War God Hall . ” Tie Ta put the axe away and pulled Jian Chen into the War God Hall .

No outsider had ever set foot in the War God Hall in countless years . Jian Chen was the first .

The two of them spoke for a very long time in the War God Hall . As soon as they thought about how they had used to be students in Kargath Academy but had now become sovereign-like figures to entire races, they both sighed emotionally .

“Tie Ta, can I ask you how much you know about the Elven Godtree?” Jian Chen suddenly asked a question and looked at Tie Ta with interest .

Tie Ta thought about the question seriously and said, “I’ve only come to the Hundred Races recently, so I only have a rough understanding of each race . However, I do know some things regarding the Elven Godtree . It’s said that the tree has already existed for an extremely long time . When the Hundred Races still resided on the Beast God Continent, before uncle Aergyns had been born, the Elven Godtree was there . It’s always represented the elves . After we were defeated, the Elven Godtree was moved from the Beast God Continent to the Wasteland Continent with us, changing the territory of the elves into a great, lush forest . It uses its own life force to nourish the land, and it’s never withered after so many years . ”

“There’s even a rumor that the Elven Godtree cannot be destroyed . No matter how heavily damaged it becomes, it can completely recover in an instant . ”
