Live treasure appraisal: You are such an elf!

Chapter 522 Yveltal is called Y-Bird, so what should Xerneas be called? Z-Tree, you son of a bitch!
The viewers in the live stream followed Ye Yinchuan's gaze and stared intently at the peculiar "dead tree".

The entire screen fell into an eerie silence.

That tree is truly extraordinary.

It stands in the center of the forest, as if it were the center of the world.

The surrounding plants and trees all bowed to it, and the colorful halo flowing in the air all originated from it.

Despite its withered black color, it exudes boundless vitality.

Those eight enormous outward-reaching branches, like the antlers of a sleeping deer, exude an aura of holiness and majesty.

"Family members," Ye Yinchuan's voice broke the silence, tinged with barely suppressed excitement, "I'm saying, this is a legendary Pokémon that's been sleeping... Do you believe me?"

One stone caused a thousand waves!

【? ? ? ? ? ? 】

[I believe you! I believe you! I'll believe whatever you say, streamer! This shape, you could say it's the World Tree, I'd believe you!]

[Legendary Pokémon?! Alive?! Holy crap! What a lucky day! I actually saw a legendary Pokémon in a live stream?!]

[Is this...the legendary Pokémon? Even though it's a tree, its aura...is incredibly powerful!]

[Wait, how did the streamer know it was here? Did you... come here specifically to find it? That's terrifying to think about!]

Ye Yinchuan ignored the speculations in the comments section and simply admired the miracle before him.

He gently patted Diancie beside him.

"Go ahead and experience it."

"Hey..."

Tianxi nodded, her jewel-like eyes filled with awe and longing.

It took small, careful steps as it approached the sleeping ancient tree.

The closer you get, the more dazzling the diamonds on it become.

The pure life energy in the air, like a warm stream, enveloped it, cleansing its body and soul.

It could feel that the power within its body was being awakened and activated by this energy!
"This power... is Lord Xerneas's power..." Diancie murmured to herself.

It stopped ten meters away from the ancient tree, not daring to approach any closer.

That was out of reverence for the highest life.

Facing the ancient tree, it gracefully performed the most sublime curtsy, a gesture belonging to the Kingdom of Gems.

Seeing this, Ye Yinchuan took out a Poké Ball.

There was a flash of light.

A small, everlasting, black and red flower shaped like a unique triangle appeared in mid-air.

A doll-like elf leans against the flower.

Eternal Flower Bud.

The moment it appeared, the life energy of the entire forest seemed to come to a standstill.

Hua Beibei hovered in the air, staring blankly at the ancient tree.

This power felt both warm and unfamiliar to it, as if it shared the same origin as the energy within it, yet was completely opposite to it.

"Bei..."

Instead of bowing like Diancie, it slowly flew to Diancie's side and hovered alongside her.

Two figures, one elegant and noble, the other mysterious.

And so, quietly, they accompanied this god of life who had been asleep for countless years.

This scene was as beautiful as a painting.

A painting that transcends time and legend.

[No, it's also related to the Eternal Flower, Beibei?]

Diancie bowed! My goodness! For a Mythical Pokémon to bow like this, it must be a Legendary Pokémon without a doubt!

[Host, stop keeping us in suspense! Tell us, who is it?!]

Is it possible that even the streamer didn't know? He just sensed that this tree was unusual?

[Impossible, absolutely impossible! There isn't a single legendary Pokémon that this streamer doesn't know!]

"Zernias".

Ye Yinchuan slowly uttered the name.

“In the ancient Carlos region, there was a legend that it was a divine beast representing ‘life’. You could also call it the God of Life. Theoretically speaking, Xerneas’s rank is far above Diancie’s.”

Ye Yinchuan seemed to have a clear understanding of this.

Diancie is technically a Mythical Pokémon, while Xerneas is a true Legendary Pokémon.

There is also a certain difference in their base stats.

Not to mention, Diancie's Mega Evolution also depends on Xerneas's blessing!
……

Ye Yinchuan's commentary was like dropping a nuclear bomb on a calm lake.

The live stream chat went completely crazy!
[The God of Life! Xerneas! Holy crap! It really is a divine beast!]

[Amazing streamer! Are you showing us mythical creatures every day?]

[Host! Quick! Is there any way to wake it up? I want to see what it really looks like!]

[I'm numb... I've never had a chance like this before! The mythical beast isn't just a legend, it's right before my eyes!]

Should we take advantage of its slumber and subdue it directly?

[Old Deng, could you give us more information? Stop holding back!]

Seeing the screen full of encouraging comments, Ye Yinchuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Family members, calm down, calm down."

He waved his hand, signaling everyone to calm down.

“This is Xerneas, the god of life. He will wake up when he wants to, and I dare not disturb his slumber.”

"As for more information, I know very little, but I can tell you definitively that in the mythology of Kalos, the one who is on par with Xerneas is Yveltal, the god of death. And the power possessed by this eternal flower, Bebe, beside me is related to Yveltal..."

Ye Yinchuan wasn't exactly pouring cold water on things, after all, he did offer some incentives.

Hmm...that seems to make sense. What if disturbing a mythical beast's slumber causes it to be grumpy in the morning?

[Oh dear! God of life, God of death, doesn't this make a connection? It's just that the name is such a mouthful!]

[Just use their first letters, right? One's God Z, the other's God Y... Speaking of which, God Y is also called Bird Y, so what should God Z be called, Tree Z?]

"Damn Z tree..."

Ye Yinchuan realized that the viewers in the live chat didn't seem to know what Xerneas's true form looked like, nor did they realize that the letter Xerneas represented should actually be "X"...

That is, X Deer!
"I'll correct you later!"

He glanced at the information provided by the system.

"He will wake up within 24 hours."

Since the intelligence says that X-Deer will awaken, there's no need to rush; just wait.

"Alright, since Xerneas hasn't woken up yet, let's not just wait around."

Ye Yinchuan adjusted the equipment.

"As usual, while we wait, we'll insert a few live streams to see what interesting Pokémon our family members have encountered."

[Great! We have new work to do!]

[Is this an appetizer before the mythical beast awakens? I like it!]

Hurry! Let me see who the lucky one is!

Ye Yinchuan glanced at the backend and casually answered the first application.

[Connection successful!]

The scene shifts to a male college student wearing black-rimmed glasses, looking utterly dejected.

On his desk lay a thick book of "Advanced Mathematics".

Beside the book lay a pinkish-purple, jelly-like creature.

Ditto.

"Host...host, please help me take a look!" The male college student was on the verge of tears.

"My Ditto seems... seems like it can't change back!"

"It became my advanced mathematics textbook yesterday, and this morning it's been stuck like this ever since, no matter how much I call it, it doesn't work!"

As he spoke, he poked at the "book".

On the cover of the "book," Ditto's iconic beady eyes and a lined mouth slowly appeared, with a "don't touch me" expression.

[Pfft! What kind of move is this?]

[Diptych: Stop yelling! I am Calculus, and Calculus is me! We're one!]

Ye Yinchuan took a closer look.

Pokémon: Ditto

[Status: Knowledge Overload (Mild), Mental Exhaustion, Transformation Locked In]

[During its transformation into a book, this Ditto seems to have passively received too much complex information, causing its brain to malfunction and temporarily preventing it from reverting to the transformation.]

Ye Yinchuan suppressed a laugh and offered his advice: "Well... it's not a big problem. It's just that advanced mathematics is too difficult and it crashed. You can let it recover on its own, or let it watch something relaxing, like scrolling through some short videos on Douyin to clear its head."

as predicted.

Under the influence of Douyin short videos, the eccentric's eyes quickly became clear, and drool even dripped from the corner of his mouth.

Finally, I'm back to normal, no longer stuck in the calculus book.

"Knowledge is power, but too much power can be overwhelming!" Ye Yinchuan concluded with a sigh.

[Hey streamer, I suspect you're subtly criticizing us academic underachievers!]

After disconnecting the first connection, Ye Yinchuan connected to the second one.

This time, the scene was filmed on a spacious basketball court.

A young trainer dressed in hip-hop style is excitedly waving at the camera.

"Hey streamer! Look at my Pokémon! It's absolutely amazing!"

As he spoke, he stepped aside.

There, a round, chubby whale, like a blue ball, was clumsily but rhythmically slapping a basketball with its tail fin. "Come on! Howling whale! Give us a show!"

"Roar--!"

The roaring whale let out a cry and slapped its tail hard!
The basketball soared high into the air, tracing a perfect parabola.

Swish!
Hollow into the network!

Then, it started slapping the ground with its fins while making a series of unintelligible but rhythmic "roaring" sounds.

They were filming and jumping at the same time.

Singing, dancing, rapping, basketball.

All alive.

The live stream was instantly flooded with question marks and "666".

【Hey, you howling whale, is your surname Cai?】

Is it simply because you're too beautiful?

[Little Blackie, you're showing your chicken feet now!]

Wow, even Pokémon are this talented these days?

Ye Yinchuan's eyes twitched as he watched.

Netizens are really going everywhere when it comes to making memes, they don't even spare Pokémon.

"Ahem, this trainer, you... have a lot of ideas." Ye Yinchuan could only comment like this, "If you train him well, maybe he can form a group with your Wailord and debut in the future."

[The Roaring Kun Duo, requesting to fight!]

On their debut day, they were kicked out by security because the venue was flooded.

After the laughter subsided, Ye Yinchuan made his third and final call of the day.

The girl in the picture looks very gentle.

She was holding a swaying spotted dog in her arms.

"Host, I'd like you to take a look at my dog's spot. Isn't it quite unique?"

She turned the swaying spot towards the camera.

It was noticeable that the spiral spot on the right side of the swaying freckle's cheek was not a normal circle or oval shape.

Instead, it's a... perfect, standard heart shape!

Wow! Heart-shaped wavy spots! So cute!

[This is such a coincidence! Is it natural?]

If I had one like this, I wouldn't have to worry about finding a partner for Valentine's Day! I could just send it to me!

A hint of surprise flashed in Ye Yinchuan's eyes.

"It's here! The classic Heart Pokémon!"

Without a doubt, this swaying spotted bird has extremely high ornamental and collectible value.

The spots on the swirling spotted pheasant are said to have over four billion possible combinations, making each one unique.

However, it is indeed rare for such a regular and unique pattern to be formed.

……

The series of online connections added a touch of liveliness to the tranquil forest.

Xerneas remained unchanged, just like the ancient tree, showing no signs of awakening.

Time passes minute by minute.

The sun gradually climbed to the very center of the sky.

Ye Yinchuan's brows furrowed slightly.

Could it be... that the intelligence was wrong?

No, the information provided by the system is extremely unlikely to be wrong.

"Will wake up within 24 hours..."

Ye Yinchuan pondered this sentence repeatedly.

A thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

Could it be that... this "awakening" is not a passive process?

Instead, it needs a... catalyst?
The fact that the system gave this information to me might mean that I, or someone close to me, am the "opportunity".
He glanced at Tianxi and Beibei beside him.

Both of these, to some extent, have an inextricable connection with X-deer.

Could it be... that we need their power to summon them?

A hint of hesitation arose in Ye Yinchuan's heart.

Actively interfering with the slumber of a divine beast is no joke.

Just as he was lost in thought, struggling with whether or not to give it a try.

the other side.

The sky dozens of kilometers away from the Evergreen Forest.

A massive black figure was tearing through the clouds at an astonishing speed.

That was a Steel-armored Raven.

But it is almost twice the size of a regular Steelraven!
The metallic feathers covering its entire body were no longer pure black, but instead shimmered with an ominous, dark red luster.

On its chest and the edges of its wings, there were even strange patterns that flickered like blood vessels!

Its form bears a striking resemblance to Yveltal, the mythical beast that represents "destruction" in legend!

On the back of this terrifying giant bird sat a middle-aged man dressed in a black robe, looking like a vagrant.

He was slightly overweight, and his face was obscured by the shadow of his hood, making it difficult to see clearly.

All that could be seen were his bare hands, delicate yet dirty.

It seems that she went through something to end up like this, and her current status is vastly different from what she used to be.

"Ok?"

The man suddenly raised his head, narrowed his eyes, and looked in the direction of the Evergreen Forest.

"Lord Dark Phoenix... Thanks to your guidance, Xerneas has been found!"

"Corvus Raven, change course!"

"Gah——!!!"

The giant bird, known as the Steel-armored Raven, let out a piercing cry.

That voice was filled with savagery and greed!
With a flap of its wings, it stirred up a gust of wind, changed direction, and like a black and red meteor, rushed straight toward Xerneas's location!

……

Deep in the forest.

Ye Yinchuan was still hesitating.

suddenly!

“Bei…!”

The Eternal Flower, which had been quietly suspended in the air, nervously hid behind Ye Yinchuan.

It suddenly turned around, looked in a certain direction of the sky, and its body trembled uncontrollably.

"This is……"

Ye Yinchuan was startled.

Diancie sensed something too, and an uneasy look appeared on her face. The diamonds around her body began to appear uncontrollably.

Ye Yinchuan looked up.

Suddenly, the azure sky was shrouded by a rapidly spreading, ominous cloud.

A terrifying, suffocating pressure, filled with the aura of death and destruction, rolled in from the horizon!

In the forest, all the Pokémon were gripped by panic.

The birds stopped singing, and the beasts lay prostrate on the ground, trembling.

It feels like the end of the world is coming!
At the very front of that dark cloud.

A black dot is rapidly enlarging at a speed visible to the naked eye!
That was a... bird?

Do not!
It was a mobile steel fortress, exuding an aura of death!
Its enormous body blocked out the sunlight.

Dark red, ominous patterns flowed across its armor, like marks from the abyss.

A pair of scarlet eyes, filled with savagery and greed, were fixed on the ancient tree sleeping below!

On the back of that steel fortress, the man in the black robe looked over with a complex and sinister gaze...

[Holy crap! What is that?!]

[Wow... such a strong sense of oppression! I can barely breathe even through the screen!]

[Could this be Yveltal, the god of death?]

Wait a minute... this guy looks familiar!

Ye Yinchuan calmly looked at the man.

"Family members, putting everything else aside, do you remember who he is?"

【who? 】

Try asking the riddle-taker another question!

"I saved the Tearful Lizard from him back then. And by some twist of fate, he became the second Dark Phoenix King's messenger after Little Black."

[Another Dark Phoenix King messenger?]

Counterfeit goods are worthless!

Since he's the second one after Xiao Hei, how about... we call him Er Hei?

The teasing comments in the live chat almost made Ye Yinchuan burst out laughing.

However, his ambiguous smile aroused considerable suspicion and apprehension in the Dark Phoenix King's envoy!

"Ye Yinchuan... what is he doing here! I've already avoided the areas he frequents! I know... he's also a messenger of the Phoenix King, he must be here to stop me! To stop me from seizing Xerneas's power!"
