Free Web NovelChapter 749: Chapter 422: Awakening the World Tree (Part 2)
Everyone expressed their confusion.
After all, in their impression, the World Tree should be a huge Holy Tree.
But so far, none of them had seen even a hint of the World Tree.
Looking ahead, Han Xing suddenly said: "There’s a cloud layer ahead, it seems to be some kind of restriction."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze forward.
Indeed, there’s a dense cloud layer obscuring their view, making it impossible to see inside.
This seems to be a method unique to the Elf Race.
As they gradually approached this cloud layer.
The Elf King was already waiting in mid-air.
He looked at everyone and smiled.
"Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready to witness the honor of the Holy Tree?"
Seeing the Elf King so earnest, everyone solemnly nodded.
Their curiosity had been thoroughly piqued.
They were eager to know what this sacred Ancient Tree looked like.
The Elf King did not delay; he waved his hand directly.
The heavy cloud layer in front of them vanished instantly.
At the same time, a world seemingly bathed in golden light appeared before them.
The golden light was so dazzling and holy that it nearly illuminated the entire heavens and earth!
Everyone squinted, straining to see the end of the golden brilliance.
Then, they saw a Holy Tree, shining like gold throughout, towering at a million meters, with billions of branches spread wide!
At this moment, a shock that struck straight to the soul emerged in everyone’s heart!
"Is that the World Tree?"
"It’s so beautiful..."
Cheng Jianyong couldn’t help but murmur.
Everyone stood in place, unable to contain their amazement.
Despite seeing many species and architecture in this world.
But now.
In front of this sacred Golden Holy Tree.
Everyone couldn’t help but feel a heart-palpitating awe and fascination.
No matter what existence’s power, facing the World Tree, a pilgrim-like feeling would inevitably rise in their hearts.
At this moment, standing at the forefront, the Elf King was upright and proud.
His complexion gleamed under the light, as if plated with gold, appearing sacred and solemn.
Then, he led Han Xing and the others closer to the sacred Golden Tree.
"Brilliant morning star, tree of life~"
"You are the foundation of all, the cradle of life~"
"Ah~"
From time to time, beautiful singing could be heard around.
At the same time.
Ahead was a multitude of elves dressed in priests’ robes, standing with poise in mid-air, waiting for their arrival.
A rough count revealed at least tens of thousands of elves.
The leader was the Divine Maiden of the Elf Race, Elinora.
Even in priestly robes, Elinora’s beauty and impressive figure couldn’t be concealed.
Moreover, it added a sacred and solemn beauty to her.
As they approached.
Tens of thousands of elf priestesses bowed simultaneously.
The Elf King nodded and, without speaking, led Han Xing and the five others toward the Sky Island Continent where the World Tree was located.
The elf priestesses divided into two columns.
Like creating a corridor for pilgrims.
And as they drew closer, the surrounding singing grew louder.
More and more elves appeared.
When Han Xing and the others finally reached the continent where the sacred Golden Tree stood.
There were already hundreds of thousands of elves around them.
They were carefully selected from the entire Elf Kingdom.
Whether in appearance, figure, or temperament, all were impeccable.
However, Han Xing and the others were already uninterested in focusing on these things.
All their attention was on the massive trunk, with countless branches of the Golden Holy Tree before them.
At this moment, Han Xing suddenly felt his body enveloped in a golden light.
And the aura within him rapidly grew.
System notifications appeared continuously,
[Due to receiving the World Tree’s Sacred Blessing, Life Value +20000, Divine Power Value +100...]
[Due to receiving the World Tree’s Sacred Blessing, Life Value +20000, Divine Power Value +100...]
...
Seeing the system notifications cascading,
Everyone was stunned.
Whoa!
[What is the Sacred Blessing?]
In just a few seconds, Han Xing saw his Life Value increase by at least 80,000 points and nearly 400 points of Divine Power!
Just by arriving near the World Tree, they triggered such an incredible blessing.
This is too terrifying!
Including the other team members, they received the same blessing as Han Xing.
At this moment, everyone swallowed hard.
Cheng Jianyong said in disbelief: "Wow... this blessing is too outrageous!"
"Continuing like this, just staying near the World Tree would make one invincible!"
As if seeing their astonishment.
The Elf King turned around and said with a smile: "Saint Master Han Xing, and several friends from the Human Race, have you felt the gift from the World Tree?"
Everyone nodded together.
The Elf King chuckled: "This is an opportunity that every creature that reaches Legendary Level enjoys by simply being near the World Tree."
"However, the effect of this gift will not last long."
"Once this golden aura is absorbed by you, it will disappear on its own."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in realization.
As the Elf King said.
At this moment, the system notifications had already slowed down.
And vanished completely a few seconds later.
Nevertheless, it did not conceal the shock in their hearts.
Because they had collectively increased their Life Value by 200,000 points and Divine Power Value by 1,000 points!
This is truly quite frightening.
Even a Demigod-Level ’Life Tree Heart’ could only boost 50,000 points of Life Value and 500 points of Divine Power.
This blessing was even better than two Demigod-Level Life Tree Hearts!
Cheng Jianyong curiously asked at this moment: "Can every Legendary Powerhouse receive such a gift by approaching the World Tree?"
The Elf King shook his head regretfully and said: "It was like that a few thousand years ago."
"At that time, thanks to the blessing of the World Tree, many powerhouses were born in the Holy Spirit Realm."
"But since the World Tree was damaged, no blessings have appeared for many years."
"Even our elf tribe’s newly promoted Legends, when they come near the World Tree, do not receive the enhancement effect."
The Elf King paused, then continued:
"Later, as we learned, this Sacred Blessing consumes the World Tree’s Life Force."
"We have been extremely busy preventing the loss of the World Tree’s Life Force, and it’s also why we dare not let it casually bless."
"I see..." Realization dawned on everyone.
Then, Cheng Jianyong asked: "Um, then why did we receive the blessing effect?"
The Elf King smiled: "The World Tree possesses wisdom and self-awareness, its branches extending to countless worlds, reaching near-omniscience."
"It’s safe to say, throughout the Holy Spirit Realm or the Void Worlds, nothing escapes its knowledge."
"It might have anticipated that you are here to save it."
"So, this is the benevolence this Sacred Tree extends to you."
After listening to the Elf King’s explanation, everyone nodded in understanding.
"Your Majesty the Elf King, what should I do now?"
Han Xing asked: "Is it okay to simply take out the Spirit Wood?"
The Elf King shook his head upon hearing this, "Saint Master Han Xing, please wait a moment."
"Before assisting in repairing the World Tree’s damage, we need to conduct the Awakening Ritual of the World Tree’s Divine Power."
"After the ritual is complete, you can approach the World Tree."
Han Xing nodded and waited silently with his team.
Meanwhile.
As the Elf King made a gesture.
Another wave of loud and sacred singing echoed around.
Then, tens of thousands of young elf females each carried a small wooden bucket.
Like little bees, they lined up to pour the clear dew from the bucket onto the root of the World Tree.
Beside them, more elves were performing peculiar gestures.
The five watched all this with some novelty.
After about ten minutes.
The grand Awakening Ritual finally ended.
Everyone saw the crown of the massive, sky-covering Golden Holy Tree suddenly shake.
