The owner of the sudden voice was none other than the long-unseen epic-level powerhouse, Elin Apocalis.

At this moment, the enchanting elf, whose voice alone was highly seductive, sat atop the treetops. She swayed her shapely, fair thighs concealed beneath her robe and wore an enigmatic smile on her face.

With her vibrant appearance and the strange aura of magic emanating from her, it seemed that her strength had fully recovered.

Lady Elin, its been a while.

Elin smiled coyly, appearing quite pleased. She lightly pushed off the tree and gracefully descended, her body moving as gracefully as a leaf in the wind. Her skirt billowed, revealing her snow-white legs.

She casually smoothed out the wrinkles in her robe, exuding the grace of an elf as she approached with a smile.

Its been a while, little human who aided me in escaping captivity. I didnt expect to encounter you here.

Ji Chen smiled and replied, Perhaps its fate.

Elin also smiled, understanding that in such a vast world, meeting again without deliberate effort could indeed be called fate.

Perhaps, she said. But how did you end up here? This place is quite far from your territory.

Ji Chen briefly explained the war between the Lienhardt Grand Duchy and the Ba.s.s Kingdom, as well as the unusual behavior of the sea beasts.

Elin nodded in understanding. 1 see. Despite covering most of the Western Mid-Ocean, the sea beast tide has gathered here. Its normal that you sensed something amiss.

Ji Chen nodded and asked curiously, Lady Elin, did you see that big creature outside? It should be the mastermind behind this sea beast tide. Since its driving the sea beasts to gather outside, does it want to obtain this liquid?

After all, I can sense that this liquid contains a vast life force, which might make it even more powerful.

Elin shook her head, smiling mysteriously, and her gaze suddenly became profound. That little thing doesnt know about the Life Water here. What it wants is something that can control the ocean.

Control the ocean?

Elin gazed into the depths of the icy wasteland and slowly said, That is an artifact left behind by a powerful deity, containing a certain degree of oceanic power. It can harness the vast power of the sea and possesses a terrifying ability.

Ji Chens expression also changed slightly.

Deities, the most powerful and revered beings in this world.

Anything related to deities seemed to be enough to make people eager to obtain it.

And this item, astonis.h.i.+ngly, contains the power of the ocean, allowing it to harness a trace of authority to wield the might of the sea?

Doesnt that bear some resemblance to his Lord-given talentOcean Favor, and his mastery over water and oceanic forces?

Elin seemed to have realized this as well and looked at Ji Chen with a thoughtful expression, as if she had suddenly understood something.

So, it seems that everything has already set its course

Ji Chen didnt understand and asked, What are you talking about, Lady Elin?

Elin shook her head, retracting her profound gaze, and smiled.

This tree is called the Tree of Life, a treasure of our elf clan with extraordinary properties. And this liquid is the Water of Life, possessing incredibly magical effects.

Ji Chen nodded in realization. The tree was an elf treasure, which explained why Elin was here. However, it was astonis.h.i.+ng that even in this desolate icy wasteland, the tree could still flourish, and its name was quite fitting.

What are the effects of this Life Water?

Elin extended a few fingers and replied, The effects of Life Water are numerous. It can heal injuries, enhance strength, serve as a precious alchemical material, improve the breeding capabilities of elves, and even enhance ones bloodline.

Even a small amount of Life Water, diluted several times, can heal the wounds of a dying person. But the quant.i.ty here is equivalent to that of a wine jug. It seems that it has acc.u.mulated this much because this place has been isolated from the world for a long time and lacks nutrients.

Ji Chens eyes lit up.

Such potent effects?

If he could carry some with him, wouldnt it be a life-saving treasure?

He quickly asked, What kind of instrument is needed to store this Life Water?

Elin pursed her lips and said, Its simple. You just need an instrument made from Elfwood, grown by elven druids.

Ji Chen furrowed his brow. Where could he find Elfwood?

Unhesitatingly, he turned to Elin and asked, Since youve come here, you should have it, right?

Elin gave Ji Chen an exasperated look. Youre not very polite, are you? The Tree of Life belongs to us elves. Shouldnt you ask me if Im willing to give it to you first?

Ji Chen shrugged.

When you left the Crown of the Ocean, you said you were returning to the Elven Empire to support the Crown of the Ocean. But now, youre nowhere to be seen. Instead, 1 had to personally go to the Maple Princ.i.p.ality and establish trade relations with the elves there.

If Im not mistaken, you havent even returned to the Elven Empire, have you? Seems like youve been playing around outside.

Elin was caught off guard by Ji Chens directness and looked somewhat embarra.s.sed. She stammered, No, its not like that. I just stopped by for a bit

Ji Chen seized the opportunity to continue, clutching his chest and wearing a pained expression.

Sir Thotmudo completed his tasks and actively came to find me. He fulfilled the contract honestly and even stayed in the Crown of the Ocean to help build workshops and impart knowledge. But you? After leaving, you disappeared without a trace, leaving me feeling quite disheartened..
