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

Chapter 396 The Goddess of Song and Dance—Meloetta!

Meloeta, immersed in the clear and beautiful singing, slowly opened her eyes.

Then he curiously looked at Lu Li and Yao Yifei on the balcony.

She still had some impression of Yao Yifei. As a world-class superstar, Yao Yifei's singing and dancing, although not top-notch, were still first-class.

Meloetta was actually quite surprised by Yao Yifei's performance today.

Meloetta knew that all of this was thanks to that human boy.

and many more.

Meloeta suddenly realized something was wrong.

When He first arrived, His attention was entirely focused on the singing. But now that He had come to his senses, Meloetta finally noticed Lu Li's unusual behavior.

Why does this human boy have so many divine marks on his body?
From head to toe, that's almost ten people.

To be fair, in all his long life, the only time he had ever seen a group of divine beasts together was when he was with the Three Holy Beasts.

Now, Meloeta's curiosity about Lu Li has been piqued once again.

what!
Meloeta gasped inwardly again.

He discovered that there were gods living in this place, and they were even first-level gods.

That pulsating current, the future god who holds the power over the future?

Just as Meloetta was about to continue her observations, a mental fluctuation enveloped her.

Meloetta, who had instantly arrived in the world of the mind, stared in astonishment at the enormous creature before her.

Groudon, the god of the earth?
and many more.

Meloetta looked at Talebagas, who was standing next to Groudon's feet, with some surprise and doubt.

Destiny star god Talebagos?
But He is so weak now?
"Meloeta, long time no see," Talebagos greeted with a smile.

He and Meloetta knew each other, and they had met more than once.

“Taylorbagos, long time no see,” Meloeta replied with a smile.

"And... Groudon, it's nice to meet you." Meloetta didn't forget Groudon beside her. After all, Meloetta was quite polite, having spent so much time with humans.

Groudon nodded, though it didn't say anything, but Meloetta could tell at a glance that Groudon didn't seem to welcome her.

Groudon certainly didn't welcome Meloetta. Although he was working on the God Alliance, not just any God Alliance was open to joining.

Meloeta was not among those invited.

Meloetta, as the goddess of song and dance, is not very strong in combat. In Groudon's plan, Meloetta's role was to be an unlucky girl who would be bullied by the alliance of gods.

"You two seem to be doing something interesting? Can I join in?" Meloetta asked with a bright smile, looking at the two gods before her.

Groudon's first reaction was to refuse, but before Groudon could speak, Talebagos agreed, "No problem, we're starting a God Alliance, and you'd be very welcome to join."

Talebagos was speechless.

Meloetta's combat abilities aren't that great, but she's the goddess of song and dance! You're rejecting her today? Who knows, she might spread the word throughout the entire legendary Pokémon community by tomorrow.

Don't think Meloetta lacks the ability. In terms of social skills, the only one in the entire legendary Pokémon community who can compare to Meloetta is Manaphy.

It seems that the people of Manaphy have been preoccupied with producing offspring in recent eras and have become less active. As a result, the title of "social butterfly" in the current pantheon has fallen to Meloetta.

Their purpose in forming the Divine Alliance was to secretly seize Lu Li's uniqueness, not to make the whole world their enemy.

"The Alliance of Gods? Can you tell me about it?" Meloetta asked with a polite smile.

Talebagos, who had no idea what kind of god the other was, knew that this guy was actually a cunning god, and his cunning was no less than that of Dream.

“It’s like this…” Talebagos briefly explained Lu Li’s special characteristics, and then introduced the members who had joined the God Alliance.

Meloeta suddenly realized, "No wonder, if that's the case, then it makes sense."

The fact that such a special boy could create such music might be due to his uniqueness.

He did see a further hope in Lu Li, and it was quite obvious.

“Then I’ll be bothering you a lot from now on.” Meloeta bowed very politely, just like the way ballet dancers thank each other when they leave the stage.

Meloetta withdrew from the mental world. She knew that Groudon actually looked down on her a bit, but that was normal. For Groudon, who held the power over the earth, she was indeed a bit weak, being just a third-level god.

But this doesn't mean He has to be afraid of Groudon or even back down from him.

Lu Li also knew it was time to show off his real skills.

Meloeta has practically offered itself up; it would be a shame not to try and seduce them.

Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, at least we should try.

As a man of action, Lu Li immediately put away the guzheng and then easily jumped onto the roof.

"I'm so happy that my music could actually attract you here." Lu Li smiled as he looked at Meloeta in front of him.

Meloetta was not among the first gods, but rather a deity that emerged after humanity entered the feudal era.

He is the god of music and dance, and also the god of entertainment. Meloetta has two states, representing music and dance respectively.

In its singing mode, Meloetta's Special Attack and Special Defense both reach a whopping 128, making it a veritable Special Attack powerhouse.

In Dance mode, Meloetta's Speed ​​and Attack stats both reach a staggering 128, making her an absolute speed killer.

However, in the anime, Meloetta actually doesn't have much combat power. Strictly speaking, most mythical beasts don't have much combat power either.

But in the real world, Meloetta is undoubtedly a third-level god. With a single ruthless move, she can plunge the entire elven world into eternal slumber with an ancient song.

Meloeta tilted her head and looked Lu Li up and down, then left her mark on Lu Li without hesitation.

Normally, deities would not easily give out their divine mark.

Writing down the mark of a deity means that the other person has gained the god's approval.

However, Lu Li has too many divine marks on him, and if he doesn't mark the other person with his own divine mark, he feels a bit out of place.

Meloetta has both.

Normally, He should observe Lu Li further before deciding whether to send out the divine mark.

“Your piano playing is beautiful,” Meloeta replied.

Meloetta speaks a human language, and her voice is clear and melodious; just listening to her is like enjoying music.

Upon hearing this, Lu Li knew how to proceed.

“I have quite a few sheet music and scores here. Would you like to keep them for your perusal?” “A lot?” Meloetta was somewhat incredulous.

After all, it's already quite impressive for a normal person to have artistic inspiration once or twice in their lifetime, let alone so many times.
“Of course.” Lu Li nodded.

To prove himself, Lu Li took out his guzheng and played a new piece in front of Meloeta.

Since he began cultivating immortality, his memory has become absolutely photographic. Although he wasn't a serious entertainer in his previous life, he was indeed a music enthusiast, so he has a lot of classic music in his memory.

When the music ended, Meloeta nodded in satisfaction; he was starting to believe Lu Li more.

On the balcony, Yao Yifei looked at Lu Li playing the piano on the roof with a puzzled expression. She also saw Meloeta next to Lu Li.

Meloetta is quite famous in the human world, especially since she is involved in the entertainment industry.

Almost every musician and dancer is a follower of Meloeta, and even she has visited Meloeta. Some large concert venues even have statues of Meloeta.

Some talented and sophisticated musicians burn incense and pray when performing in shopping malls; they are praying to Meloetta, the goddess of music.

"My music and Lu Li's music actually attracted the God of Song and Dance?" Yao Yifei thought in disbelief.

Although she knew that Lu Li's compositions and songs were very good, she really didn't expect that song to be this good.

Yao Yifei really wanted to visit Meloetta, after all, it had once been her faith.

However, Yao Yifei's rationality stopped her. Going there now might ruin Lu Li's plans, so Yao Yifei chose to wait where she was.

“Play another piece I haven’t heard before. If I’m satisfied this time, I’ll stay here for a while,” Meloeta said matter-of-factly.

Lu Li nodded, then continued playing the new piece.

It was another piece of music that she had never heard before, and it was very beautiful. Meloeta looked at Lu Li with admiration in her bright eyes.

This human is incredibly talented!
Meloeta had already made up her mind.

Even without that so-called alliance of gods, He would still be willing to stay here for a while, just to hear more beautiful songs.

Unlike other gods, Meloetta is a typical wandering god. He has no fixed abode and will stop wherever music is more developed.

Of course, He sometimes travels to other regions to listen to music, but after listening, He will return to the continent where He resides.

According to the original plan, Meloeta was going to move to the Americas region in a few years.

Although the music in that region is violent and somewhat unconventional, death rock is still a type of music, and it does not discriminate against any particular style.

After the music stopped, Lu Li looked at Meloetta expectantly: "How was it? Are you satisfied?"

Meloeta smiled and nodded: "Your music touched me."

With a weight lifted from his heart, Lu Li suppressed his joy and said, "Then welcome to my humble abode."

Meloeta nodded: "The god of song and dance will only linger for music and dance. If possible, I hope to hear more of your works in the future."

"Let's go downstairs first, your girlfriend might be getting impatient." Meloeta said, then led Lu Li back to the balcony.

Meloetta's teleportation came without any warning; before it was activated, Lu Li didn't even sense the slightest spatial fluctuation.

By the time he sensed the spatial fluctuations, they were already back on the balcony.

Upon seeing Meloetta, Yao Yifei immediately knelt on one knee and respectfully greeted her, saying, "Musician Yao Yifei pays respects to Your Majesty Meloetta, the Goddess of Song and Dance."

"Hehe, no need for formalities, we've actually met before." Meloetta helped Yao Yifei up.

Upon hearing this, Yao Yifei looked at Meloetta with some confusion.

Yao Yifei didn't remember ever seeing Meloeta. If he had really seen Meloeta, the impression would have been very deep, and he would never have forgotten it.

“I was a human at the time,” Meloetta said, pulling out a thick booklet from who-knows-where.

The thick, light green booklet floated in front of Yao Yifei. Meloeta waved her right hand gently, and the light green booklet moved on its own without any wind.

After a while, the light green booklet stopped. The top page had Yao Yifei's photo and her autograph.

Looking at the light green booklet that seemed somewhat familiar, Yao Yifei finally remembered.

Three years ago, a girl did come to her with an autograph book that was completely disproportionate to her size, asking for her autograph.

The reason she still remembered it after so long was because the autograph book was so unique. Firstly, it was so thick. She had seen photos and autographs of Jackson in it. Most incredibly, it even had the autograph of Yu Boya.

It was precisely because of this incident that Yao Yifei had such a deep impression of it.

"You remembered?" Meloeta joked.

Yao Yifei nodded blankly.

At the time, she genuinely thought that the girl was just a rather strange fan.

“Human lifespan is finite, so I will collect the works of every outstanding musician or dancer. Each page represents a distinguished musician or dancer, and I will collect the music and dance they left behind during their peak years,” Meloeta explained.

Yao Yifei: "..."

Yao Yifei opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak.

She wanted to say that she really didn't deserve to leave her signature in the autograph book, after all, she was just a first-rate musician and dancer, and she was far from being a true master.

Lu Li, who was standing next to him, asked curiously, "This should also be considered a divine object, right?"

Meloetta nodded: "This is my very own treasure, would you like to see it?"

Lu Li nodded, clearly intrigued.

Meloeta waved her right hand gently, and the autograph book started moving again without any wind. After a while, the autograph book finally stopped.

On that page is a long-haired ancient man named Yu Boya.

At the same time, a dazzling white light enveloped everyone, and in an instant, the world changed.

What was supposed to be late at night has turned into evening, and the balcony has become a giant rock overlooking the river.

Ancient trees reach for the sky, their branches whispering in the cool evening breeze. The afterglow of the setting sun, like molten gold, spills onto the river's surface, outlining the majestic contours of the mountains, and a vast, yet slightly desolate, desolation permeates the world.

In this vast, tranquil, and slightly lonely landscape, Bo Ya sat playing his zither, and music as melodious as flowing water slowly rose up.

There was no doubt, no surprise; everyone simply enjoyed the soul-cleansing music in silence.

After the music stopped, the surrounding scenery slowly faded away, and everyone returned to the "real world".

"Was that Yu Boya from ten eras ago?" Yao Yifei murmured.

Meloeta nodded and explained, "Human methods of preserving music are too fragile and cannot withstand the ravages of time. In order to prevent such beautiful music from disappearing, I had no choice but to take action myself."
