Chapter 1407: 1407

Why would that happen? asked Long Chen with shock .

The answer would take a long time to explain The Spirit Queen sighed and began to tell Long Chen a story he had never heard before .

Rumor had it that in the immortal era, the Spirit World had had very good relationships with the human race . The Spirit race had powerful life energy skills and had helped the human race countless times against their powerful enemies .

In that battle of the immortal era, in order to help the human race, the Spirit World had lost many of its experts . It had been forced to seal itself off to recover .

Then the dark era came . The Spirit World was also attacked, with foreign tree demons invading . At that time, they still hadnt recovered from their previous losses .

When the dark era ended, the Martial Heaven Continent had been devastated, and the Spirit World had taken disastrous losses . The Dark Forest grew stronger . At first, they only managed to take over a small part of the Spirit World, but now they began to spread .

Other than their powerful tree demons, the Dark Forest also had berserk Magical Beasts . As for the Forest of Lifes spirit trees, they couldnt kill other creatures . Only their Spirit race warriors and spirit beasts could fight them .

However, they were unable to stop the advance of the Dark Forest . The Dark Forests territory grew greater and greater, while the Forest of Lifes territory shrank with each passing year .

This was a slow battle . Since the dark era had passed, and the human race had recovered, the Spirit race asked for help .

However, the Sovereigns that had once led the human race heroically had all fallen, and the Martial Heaven Continent had completely changed .

Each person was selfish, and no one came to help the Spirit race . In fact, people began to curse the Spirit race for betraying their trust and not helping the Martial Heaven Continent during the dark era . They thought that the huge losses they had taken were all because of the Spirit races betrayal .

How could they be so shameless?! raged Long Chen . This was too evil!

Although he hadnt spent a long time with the Spirit races people, he had no doubt whatsoever toward them . They would never lie .

If they just didnt help us, that would be one thing . But then after having a falling out with us, they began to help the Dark Forest suppress us, said the Spirit Queen sadly .

Are they worse than beasts? Long Chen couldnt imagine this . Just what had happened to the human race? Why would they do something so treacherous? Suddenly, he had a thought . Could it be?

Yes . It stemmed from greed . Everything in the Forest of Life is filled with life essence . The spirit beasts, the spirit trees, the spirit warriors, all lifeforms within the Forest of Life are treasures in the outside world that can extend a persons lifespan .

As expected . In front of great enticement, humans would also become depraved . Even a saint could become a devil .

Does the entire Martial Heaven Continent side with the Dark Forest? asked Long Chen . If the Xuantian Dao Sect had also sided with the Dark Forest, he wouldnt know how to feel about it .

About all of them . The Corrupt path, the ancient races, Pill Valley, the Xuan Beasts, they all stood by the side of the Dark Forest . As for the Righteous path, they acted like they didnt see anything . But some sects stealthily sent some people to kill the creatures in the Forest of Life, so the Righteous path also isnt our friend, answered the Spirit Queen .

Hearing this, Long Chen sighed with relief . As long as the Xuantian Dao Sect hadnt participated in killing them, he could accept it .

He finally realized what Li Tianxuan had been about to tell him . Clearly, Li Tianxuan had already figured out the situation in the Spirit World and had predicted that Long Chen would be surrounded by enemies .

But even if Li Tianxuan had told him all this, Long Chen would still have come to the Spirit World without any hesitation .

The thing that disappointed him was that whether it was the Xuantian Dao Sect, the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect, the Heavenly Sword Gate, or the Wine God Palace, all these sects he had a close relationship with had all chosen to be silent in the face of the Spirit Worlds crisis .

Then he supposed that any single sect couldnt become enemies with so many sects . They could only act like they didnt know anything .

At the same time as he was disappointed, he was enraged . If people could abandon the allies that had fought alongside them so easily, were they even worthy of being called cultivators? Was this in order to live a longer but sullen life? If you didnt even dare to do the things you wanted to do, then what was the point of cultivating?

Spirit Queen, on behalf of the human race, let me apologize . Im ashamed of my ancestors, for their actions . But the Dragonblood Legion and I will stand together with you . We will live and die together, swore Long Chen .

Are you prepared to become enemies with the entire Martial Heaven Continent? asked the Spirit Queen .

If I have to be enemies with them, then fine . In any case, I have plenty of enemies already . I dont mind increasing the scale a bit more . Long Chen smiled .

Wasnt that precisely the case? The ancient races, Corrupt path, and Pill Valley were his mortal enemies . Which one didnt want his life?

As for the Xuan Beasts, as soon as he had accepted Cloud, he had made his preparations to be enemies with them .

To put it bluntly, a dead pig wasnt afraid of boiling water . Since things had already reached this point, he might as well do what he wanted .

Although he had many things to accomplish, if he didnt even dare to repay his debts, then would having a higher cultivation base matter? This wasnt his first time putting his life on the line, and he was already used to it .

Long Chen, thank you . The Spirit Queen was extremely grateful . After being betrayed by so many humans, this was her first time encountering a human who would sacrifice their life for them for a small favor .

Spirit Queen, I have many questions I want to ask you .

Ask away . As long as I know, I will answer .

Why are the spirit warriors all women? Where are the male warriors?

This was something that he had been holding back for a long time . In all the Forest of Life, he hadnt seen a single male .

There are no male warriors in our Spirit race . These warriors are not humans . They are the fruit of the Life God . The Spirit Queen raised her head to look at the giant tree .

Theyre fruit? Long Chen jumped in shock . How was this possible?

Yes, the fruit of the Life God Tree . They took human form with the Life God Trees power . Bows and arrows are the martial weapons that allow them to unleash their greatest power . Although their arrows are made of ordinary wood, when they shoot, they will pray to the Life God, giving their arrows divine power that can pierce the armor of experts and the hide of Magical Beasts .

Now Long Chen understood why their arrows were so strangely powerful .

It is because they are the fruit of the Life God Tree that they are like pure and naive children . They are like a sheet of white paper . After years of fighting against the Dark Forest, countless spirit warriors have lost their lives . In order to protect everyone, the Life God has spent all its energy . You can also see how bad the Life God Trees situation is . Its unable to give birth to any more spirit warriors . Originally, when the spirit warriors die, a portion of them will transform into spiritual qi and return to the Forest of Life to be absorbed by the Life God Tree . But when the Martial Heaven Continents experts capture them, they will refine them into divine life elixir . Fury appeared on the Spirit Queens face . The spirit warriors who landed in enemy hands all suffered miserably .

This was why Gui Yan had captured those spirit warriors . But with the Corrupt paths lecherousness and cruelty, they would inflict even more suffering on them .

What is the origin of the Dark Forest? They invaded the Spirit World during the dark era . Was that a coincidence or part of a scheme? If its part of a scheme, what is their goal? Long Chen was extremely curious toward the Dark Forest . Just how had those tree demons formed an agreement with the Martial Heaven Continents experts?

Im ashamed to say that our heads arent as clever as the human races . Weve never been able to figure out why they appeared, said the Spirit Queen apologetically .

Long Chen was dumbfounded . Even after tens of thousands of years, they were unable to figure out their goal?

He quickly thought of how Pill Valleys experts said that the Dark Forests tree demons were all wooden-headed fools . They werent very intelligent .

It was just that the Spirit Queen looked very wise, so it was unexpected that even she wouldnt know such a thing .

Thats fine . We can figure that out later . Then tell me, other than their greed for the Forest of Life, is there anything else that attracts the Martial Heaven Continents warriors here?

Yes . Within the Spirit World lies part of the Ancient Battlefield . Back when the human race was still allied with the Spirit World, when devil creatures invaded us, they were suppressed by a Sovereign . That battle was extremely intense, and heaven and earth were destroyed . Spatial cracks now litter that region . Rumor has it that countless experts of both the humans and those devil creatures died at that time, and their treasures were left behind . However, the divine might of a Sovereign still lingers there, so neither we nor the Dark Forests tree demons can approach there without being annihilated, said the Spirit Queen .

A Sovereigns divine might that makes you unable to approach the battlefield? Long Chen was shocked to learn that a Sovereign had once fought in the Spirit World .

Yes . Only humans can get close to that area, but I heard that the battlefield is extremely dangerous . Countless adventurers have entered without ever leaving .

Sovereigns were legendary existences that dominated anyone in the same realm . Only one Sovereign would appear in one generation, so the title of Sovereign was synonymous with unrivaled .

Rumor had it that the Sovereigns were the result of all the worlds karmic flow condensing into one person . Only one Sovereign could be born in one era, and only when that Sovereign fell would it be possible for a second Sovereign to be born . So the Sovereigns that had risen during previous eras were all figures that had led that era . They were god-like existences .

Ill definitely have to go to that battlefield . Perhaps I can get some treasures . A fiery light appeared in Long Chens eyes .
