Free Web NovelChapter 754: Chapter 424: The World Tree’s Gift
It can be described as one investment, two returns.
Han Xing felt very gratified, hoping for more good things like this.
His gaze towards the group of Elves became even more affable.
At this moment, the Elf King said with emotion, "Saint Master Han Xing, you are the first human in Elf Race history to receive the blessing 15 times."
"In our race’s history, the strongest Elf King only received the blessing seven times."
"Later, this generation’s Elf King broke through to the Divine Realm."
"Saint Master Han Xing, your future achievements are almost limitless..."
The gaze of the Elf King towards Han Xing carried envy.
After all, such a thing, he wouldn’t dare to imagine.
Let alone it truly happening to a human.
Han Xing smiled and shook his head, "It’s nothing; I just got lucky with a large batch of Spirit Wood at hand."
The Elf King nodded, looking at the World Tree with emotion, "That’s great..."
"In this way, the World Tree can slowly begin to recover."
"Maybe in one or two thousand years, it could return to its perfect state."
"By then, the space in the Holy Spirit Realm will be incredibly stable, and those demons will no longer be able to easily open teleportation arrays."
Han Xing furrowed his brow, "Can we still not stop the Abyss Realm from opening teleportation arrays now?"
The Elf King shook his head, "As long as the World Tree has not recovered, the space in the Holy Spirit Realm is unstable."
"Currently, it only makes the space barriers slightly more solid, making teleportation from the Abyss Realm more difficult."
"In the short term, it’s unlikely that demons with high-tier demigod strength like the ones we just encountered will appear."
"So, how can we stop the Abyss Realm’s teleportation arrays?" Han Xing continued to ask.
The Elf King shook his head again, "I am also searching for the relevant methods."
"However, I have already consulted the ancestors of the clan, and before they respond, we can only continue to defend the Elf Realm and not let those demons occupy it."
Han Xing nodded after hearing this.
And at this time, the Elf King suddenly changed the topic.
"By the way, Saint Master Han Xing, may I know your age this year?"
Han Xing was taken aback when he heard this question.
This was the first time he heard a resident of the Holy Spirit Realm ask his age.
Han Xing thought for a moment.
"Um... about twenty-seven or eight?"
Counting the three years he spent in the Holy Spirit Realm, he was indeed around this age.
Upon hearing this number, not only the Elf King but also Elinora were stupefied.
Because it was the first time they heard such a young age.
In the Elf Race’s concept.
Twenty years old is merely reaching adulthood...
The Elf King tentatively asked, "Saint Master Han Xing, are you sure you haven’t made a mistake."
"Not two hundred, but over twenty?"
Han Xing nodded without further explanation.
However, they confirmed that Han Xing was truly over twenty.
And he wasn’t joking.
The Elf King stared blankly for a long time before recovering.
He looked at Han Xing with a complex expression.
In his heart, it seemed like he was making some decision.
The Elf King muttered softly, "Well, over twenty is over twenty."
"It’s a bit young, but the younger folks probably won’t mind..."
Han Xing asked, "Your Excellency, Elf King, what are you saying?"
The Elf King shook his head and spoke directly.
"Saint Master Han Xing, do you have any plans to marry soon?"
"My daughter, Elinora, although a bit older than you, is still peerlessly beautiful."
As the Elf King finished speaking, everyone present was stunned.
Elinora was even more astonished, "Fa-fa-fa-fa-father! What are you saying!"
Her cheeks were flushed red, and her words were somewhat unclear.
The Elf King continued, "Daughter, I’m serious."
"I know you have high standards, and there are barely any young talents in the Holy Spirit Realm that catch your eye."
"But Saint Master Han Xing has received the Holy Tree’s blessing 15 times, surpassing all previous Elf Kings, and he surely has boundless potential."
Elinora shyly said, "Father... I’m not saying that..."
"What I mean is... you should first seek Saint Master Han Xing’s opinion..."
The more she spoke, the softer her voice became, like a mosquito’s whisper.
Her head was almost entirely buried down.
The Elf King seemed to remember this detail and patted his head, "Indeed, I almost forgot something so important."
So, he looked at Han Xing and said, "Saint Master Han Xing, I’m really sorry for forgetting to ask for your opinion."
"This is merely my personal idea, and of course, you may refuse."
"But I believe if the Human Race and Elf Race could unite, it would be beneficial for both sides."
The Elf King stated his purpose and thoughts very directly.
At this time, others also understood the Elf King’s intention.
Seeing Han Xing’s boundless potential, he wanted to marry off the Divine Maiden of his race to Han Xing, thereby taking the opportunity to unite the Human and Elf Races.
It sounded casual.
But it was actually a matter influential enough to affect the Holy Spirit Realm.
Because if Han Xing agreed.
It would mean the union of two major races in the Holy Spirit Realm.
And if the Witch Race was included, it would be three major races.
By then, they would become a dominant race in the Holy Spirit Realm.
Even Zhang Lianmeng and Su Xiaoyang had nothing much to say about such a significant matter.
Because they knew, compared to personal emotions, the greater good of humanity was more important.
Everyone quietly awaited Han Xing’s response.
A moment later, Han Xing suddenly smiled and said, "Thank you, Elf King, for your consideration and kindness."
"But now, with the Abyss Race invasion, it’s not the time to talk about this."
"Let’s first unite our efforts to overcome the current challenges, and then we’ll talk."
Although his words were a roundabout refusal, he did not make it absolute.
He didn’t let the Elf King lose face, nor did he embarrass the Elf Goddess.
The Elf King also caught his implication, smiling, "It seems I was too impatient."
"Indeed, we must first get through the crisis from the Abyss Realm."
"Since that is the case, let me send someone to escort Saint Master Han Xing and the human friends back for some rest?"
Han Xing nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Excellency, Elf King."
Exactly, Han Xing and his companions did wish to rest a bit.
As Han Xing and others were about to leave the Holy Land of the Elf Race.
A system prompt suddenly appeared in Han Xing’s ears.
[For saving the World Tree, this act has moved the Elf Race; affinity +6000, current affinity: Amiable.]
Gaining 6000 affinity points at once, it’s indeed worthy of the epic-level task of saving the World Tree.
Feeling that with a few more times, he could directly max out the Elf Race’s affinity.
Han Xing nodded with satisfaction.
Then, he led everyone away from there.
At this moment, the Elf King and Elinora still stood there.
The Elf King seemed to notice a trace of loss in his daughter’s eyes and chuckled softly, "What’s wrong, daughter."
"Being rejected by Saint Master Han Xing, do you feel a bit defeated?"
"Is it the first time you discovered that your charm isn’t appreciated by other males?"
Elinora blushingly looked at the Elf King and said, "Father... please don’t tease me..."
"Whether Saint Master Han Xing will favor me, I’m not sure..."
The Elf King chuckled, "Daughter, that’s no big deal."
"You have to know that people like him will achieve unimaginable feats in the future."
"Moreover, he possesses an aura comparable to mine as a king."
"He’s only at the Legend level, yet as your father, I already feel a strong threat from him!"
"It’s hard to imagine how terrifying he would be once he breaks through to the initial-tier demigod or even the middle-tier demigod..."
The more the Elf King spoke, the lower Elinora’s head dropped.
Since childhood, she had been extremely confident in her looks and talent.
Among her peers, there was no one who could compare with her.
Even when she fully matured, looking across the entire Holy Spirit Realm, there were only a few among her generation stronger than her in cultivation.
