Elf: How do you cultivate immortality in the elf world?

Chapter 333 V-Rat: Oh no, I might be isolated.

Li Xiang was happy to witness the rise of a new dynasty, since there was no direct conflict of interest between them.

Lu Li would never sacrifice the Tang Dynasty for a super-large secret realm, and the Tang Dynasty would never stop Lu Li's rise in the real world.

After gaining enough experience from his father, Li Ning returned to the Princess's residence.

Upon returning to the princess's residence, Li Ning immediately said, "Let's go, I'll take you to see the Bell Tower first."

Lu Li and his group naturally had no objections. They rode in the princess's carriage, and a large group of people operated the bell tower as they departed.

The so-called Bell Tower is a tall tower covered with bells and inhabited by many Eevee.

Sensing the presence of so many of its kind, the Star Spirit curiously jumped out of its Poké Ball and into Lu Li's arms.

Sitting opposite Lu Li, Li Ning thoughtfully examined the Star Elf in Lu Li's arms.

Of all the spirits Lu Li possessed, the Star Spirit was the one they cared about the most.

The appearance of the Star Elf is extremely unique in the entire world; it can even be said that you can't find another elf that is the same.

"Is this the Pokémon that received the favor of Ho-Oh?" Li Ning asked directly.

Lu Li wasn't surprised that the other party knew about this, so he simply nodded.

“Yes, this little guy was able to survive thanks to Ho-Oh.” Lu Li gently stroked the Star Elf’s fur.

"You're so lucky," Li Ning said enviously.

Pengkazo, standing nearby, watched the two interacting with a sense of awe and wonder. As the Rainbow Hero, Lu Li had already received the favor of Ho-Oh, so what was so strange about his Pokémon receiving the same favor?

"Do you know where his other companion is?" Li Ning probed subtly.

Outsiders didn't know Lu Li's true identity, so they didn't make many connections, but Li Ning knew the truth.

Lu Li is not the Rainbow Warrior at all, which means that the spirit with both water and fire attributes is definitely in the hands of the Rainbow Warrior now.

If they follow this clue, they might actually find the real Rainbow Hero.

“I don’t know. When I got this child, it was all I had.” Lu Li shook his head.

Lu Li knew, of course, that the other elf was with Li Zhi, but he didn't intend to tell Li Ning this news, since Li Zhi still had the Qu family's plans.

"It is indeed a pity." Li Ning nodded helplessly.

"Ibrahimovic~"

(I remember now! I do seem to have a brother, but I don't know what he's doing now.)
Meanwhile, the Star Elf brothers, who were in the same boat, were undergoing a test.

In a jungle in the Golden Triangle.

Qu Gang was already in despair; following the Rainbow Warrior was indeed a test of his survival skills.

Li Zhi suddenly had the idea to travel to the Three Monkeys region, but Qu Gang initially refused.

(The Triangular Alliance will be changed to the Three Monkeys Alliance from now on, because the former is a real place name.)
What is the Three Monkeys Region? It is almost the most chaotic region in the Asia Alliance, and the mastermind behind it is a dark force like the God Cult.

To stop Li Zhi from courting disaster, he even mobilized his family's resources to temporarily close the passage between the two regions.

Li Zhi is the kind of person who will do what you tell him not to do, and in the end, he actually chose to smuggle himself out of the country.

then……

Since leaving the Kyushu region, they have been wandering in this jungle without ever leaving.

I've long since run out of energy cubes, even the energy cube maker is low on battery, and my phone is almost out of power too.

Ruilan brought several power banks, but they were all dead long ago.

Eevee lay listlessly in Li Zhi's arms. He had been eating tree berries for almost three days, and they were wild tree berries with all sorts of unpalatable flavors.

These days reminded Vaporeon and Flareon of their time in the laboratory.

Although there is no freedom in the laboratory, at least the food and accommodation are good. The only downside is that you are often scanned by various instruments.

"I wonder how my other brother is doing now. I hope he's not in the same boat as me," Vaporeon thought to itself.

Li Zhi encouraged them energetically, "I feel like we'll be out of the jungle soon!"

Compared to Qu Gang's haggard appearance, Li Zhi looked much more energetic; the jungle life he had experienced these past few days had not caused him much suffering.

After all, everyone knows about the physical abilities of the Rainbow Warriors, but Qu Gang is different; he doesn't have the same physical abilities as Li Zhi.

Qu Gang always felt that he would die at Li Zhi's hands sooner or later.

…………

As the carriage came to a stop, the group finally arrived at the legendary Bell Tower.

After jumping down from the carriage, Lu Li squinted as he examined the tower in front of him.

Tens of thousands of bells danced in the wind, the clear chimes of crystal bells and the low murmurs of bronze bells weaving a sound wave in the air. Sylveon, perched on the eaves, curiously observed Lu Li and the others.

Soon after, many Eevee fans gathered around.

The lead fairy, Eevee, looked curiously at the star sprite in Lu Li's arms.

"The Eevee family has a new evolved form? When did this happen?" Sylveon wondered curiously.

Lu Li smiled and put the Star Elf down.

"Ibrahimovic~"

(What type of Eevee are you? I've never seen you before.)

"Ibrahimovic~"

(Psychic and Dark type, you can call me Celesteev.)
"Ibrahimovic~"

(A dual-type Eevee? Are you sure you're a legitimate Eevee? We've never seen a dual-type Eevee before.)

At this moment, a sun sprite spoke up and questioned.

"Ibrahimovic~"

(Didn't you see each other today?)

The Star Elf raised its chin and called out arrogantly.

Seeing that the Star Spirit did not clash with the Eevee here, Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief and then let the Star Spirit do as it pleased.

"Come on, I'll take you inside the tower," Li Ning said, continuing to act as the bell tower's guide.

Lu Li nodded.

The moment you enter the Bell Tower, thousands of glass bells suddenly tremble simultaneously, and a rainbow of light pours down from the prisms in the dome, turning the entire spiral staircase into a flowing rainbow river.

Although the Bell Tower appears to have multiple levels from the outside, from the inside, you can see the top of the tower by looking up from the middle. The outer levels are actually just some corridors.

"How many Eevee live here?" Lu Li asked curiously.

"With our deliberate guidance and development, this place has become a holy site for almost all Eevee, and Bell Tower has nearly a third of the Eevee in the entire Secret Realm."

Upon hearing this, Lu Li suddenly realized, "No wonder there are so many Eevee here."

"None of this comes without a price. The resources needed to maintain the daily operation of the Bell Tower, in real-world terms, amount to millions of dollars just for supplies every day."

This doesn't even include the daily requirement to feed in evolution stones; all these miscellaneous expenses add up to nearly 10 billion per year.

"Sigh~"

Lu Li gasped.

It's important to know that trainers are not allowed to capture Pokémon from the Bell Tower; more precisely, they cannot capture them using Poké Balls.

Only the Tang Dynasty could afford to expend so many resources on a symbolic tower.

After looking around again and finding nothing particularly special about the place, Lu Li instantly lost interest. "Shouldn't we go to the Temple of Victory next?" Lu Li asked.

Li Ning nodded: "If you've had enough sightseeing, we can set off now."

“Then let’s set off.” Pencalzo was also more interested in the Temple of Victory.

And so the group left the Bell Tower and marched in a grand procession toward the Temple of Victory.

The Temple of Victory is generally not open to outsiders. The Li Tang royal family was also worried that someone would abduct their own god, so unless it was a festival, no one would come to the Temple of Victory.

The Temple of Victory is run by a group of elderly people.

"Don't underestimate these old men; most of them are retired champions or master-level trainers," Li Ning whispered a reminder from the side.

Once these people realize they have no chance of advancement, they will voluntarily enter the Temple of Victory, partly hoping for divine mercy and partly to retire there.

The Temple of Victory is not large. Apart from a courtyard, there are two palaces, a main hall and a secondary hall, and the rest is a group of low buildings.

Those who came in to worship the gods lived in these low houses.

As soon as Li Ning entered the temple, an old man called out to him.

"Ah Ning, what brings you to the temple today?" the old man asked with a smile.

Li Ning quickly replied, "Grandpa, I brought a few friends over to take a look."

"grandfather?"

Lu Li looked at the old man in front of him in surprise. In other words, the old man in front of him might be the retired emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Upon learning the old man's identity, Peng Kazho quickly greeted him, "Greetings, sir."

"No need to be so polite, just call me Old Li. We don't care about status here," the old man replied with a smile.

"Greetings, Elder Li," Lu Li and Freya quickly greeted him.

"Hello, little one."

"I won't disturb your gathering of young people."

After the old man finished speaking, he turned and left with his broom.

"Goodbye, Grandpa." Li Ning respectfully saw the old man off.

After the old man had gone far away, Freya spoke up, saying, "The pressure emanating from that old man was terrifying."

“Of course, my grandfather is a master trainer,” Li Ning boasted proudly.

Li Ning added, "And he's a master-level trainer with both Fire and Psychic attributes."

Lu Li asked thoughtfully, "Mainly fire, secondary superpower?"

Li Ning nodded.

"It seems the Li family primarily uses fire-based elements," Lu Li thought to himself.

"Let me give you a general overview of the Temple of Victory," Li Ning said, leading the way and pointing out the things they saw along the way.

"strangeness."

On a large tree not far away, Victini casually tossed away the tree fruit in her hand and then lazily stretched.

"Why does this human have so much divine aura? Let me see..."

"There's Talongoth, Groudon, and I think Ho-Oh too... Hmm, and Mew's aura? No, it seems there's more..."

Victini, increasingly alarmed by what she saw, was suddenly struck dumb.

Oh no! It seems I've been isolated by the divine community!
Why didn't these guys invite me to their party?

Victini is very angry!
"No! I want to ask them myself."

Increasingly angry, Victini decided to confront them.

Without hesitation, Victini plunged headlong into the world of the mind.

"Two-faced Turtle! You come out here, Tiny!" Victini shouted menacingly.

Soon, a fiery red figure appeared, and Groudon looked speechlessly at Victini, who was inexplicably angry.

Talebagos followed closely behind.

“V Rat, what do you want?” Talebagos asked, feigning authority.

He is a first-order god, while Victini is merely a third-order god. Why should I be afraid of Him?

Victini, who came to demand an explanation, pointed directly at Lu Li in the real world and asked, "What's going on with this human?"

Talebagos is also a man with a temper. You are just a third-level god, yet you keep provoking me, a first-level god. Don't I, Talebagos, have any face?
Talebagos replied, "He is my messenger of the gods."

"Then what's with all this weird aura on him?" Victini clearly didn't believe this explanation.

"Because my divine messenger is too outstanding, these shameless bastards are always trying to poach my men," Talebagos said through gritted teeth.

"Is that all? Aren't you all ganging up on me to isolate me?" Victini asked incredulously.

Taile Bagos: "..."

Talebagos rolled his eyes at Bictini speechlessly. "You, a mere third-level god, do you think you deserve our isolation?"

Talebagos then added, "By the way, it seems like you haven't been to the real world for almost ten thousand years, has it?"

“What’s so interesting about the real world? Isn’t it better to sleep in the secret realm?” Victini retorted.

Taile Bagos: "..."

Speechless, Talebagos said earnestly, "Stop looking at human picture books. Don't you realize you're being corrupted by humans?"

"pollute?"

Bictini tilted his head and looked at Talebagos with a puzzled expression.

Humans still have this ability?
Looking at Bictini, who seemed genuinely unaware, Talebagos asked in bewilderment, "Haven't you realized you're almost turning into the shape of Li Shimin?"

"Is...is there?" Victini looked at the two gods a little embarrassed.

Talebagos and Groudon nodded almost simultaneously.

Bictini waved his hand dismissively: "That's fine, anyway, Li Shimin is long dead."

Not wanting to talk about Li Shimin, Bictini quickly changed the subject, saying, "But speaking of which, is there anything special about this child? Should I leave a mark on him too?"

“No.” Talebagos shook his head decisively.

"Why?" Victini asked, looking as aggrieved as a child.

“Because…” Talebagos’s mind raced as he racked his brains for a plausible excuse.

There are already enough gods eyeing Lu Li; there's really no need to add more.

"Because all the seats are taken." Talebagos said with an air of seriousness.

Bictini also tilted his head and looked at Talebagos.

Can the Divine Messenger Symbol even be maxed out?
"wrong!"

Victini suddenly came to his senses and realized that Lu Li actually had a faint aura of rules about him.

It is widely believed that only true gods can control the rules.

That is to say...

Humanity has given birth to new gods?
