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

Chapter 416 An Alliance of Insects.

After humiliating Talebages as usual, Groudon slowly closed his eyes. Now, the only thing he could do to pass the time was to sleep.

After leaving the Atlantis Secret Realm, Lu Li did not linger at the bottom of the sea, but directly had the Great Natural Bird take him back to the land.

There's no way around it, Milotic is just too good at attracting attention, whether it's underwater or in the wild, she's practically a femme fatale.

at the same time.

Atlantis also welcomed an uninvited guest.

A young man who had been abducted more than 20 years ago has returned to his hometown.

"This is Atlantis!" As exclaimed.

As an Atlantean, he did not grow up in Atlantis, but on an island in the real world.

There, he engaged in both research and being researched, and only after the research was successful did he truly take control of his own life.

As one of the holy sons of the Church of God, As possesses the power of the ocean to enhance water-type spirits. These special abilities do not come from divine grace, but from human progress—technology!

The headquarters of the cult was destroyed, and the once vast cult fell apart.

As one of the high-ranking members of the cult, Yas inherited some of its legacy and knowledge.

Before the cult was destroyed, he was determined to create a human being capable of controlling the ocean, and he even had a name for it.

The name of that human god who controls the ocean should be Poseidon! Poseidon, the god of the sea!
However, Yas has now found a new direction.

Creating gods from scratch is ultimately too abstract and unrealistic, but it's different to control gods with a human body.

The difficulty levels of the two are worlds apart.

In the intelligence sent to him by the old cult leader, it was specifically stated that the God of the Deep Sea had successfully created a new god, who was still in the most ignorant and innocent stage of life.

Most importantly, the sea goddess Manaphy will soon fall into a deep sleep, at which point the new sea goddess Phiona will have no one to care for her.

He could seize this opportunity to take control of the new deep-sea god, Phiona.

This plan actually started two years ago, but he hadn't found a way back to Atlantis until today. He finally got the chance.

"Whether you are a rainbow warrior or an idealist, I will remember your help to me, trainer who commands the gods—Lu Li." As silently thanked the instigator of all this.

If it weren't for Lu Li, he would never have been able to return to Atlantis so smoothly.

…………

The Deep Sea Shrine.

It was an incomparably magnificent palace, a grand palace built by humans but belonging to the elves.

The master of this palace is Manaphy, the Lord of the Deep Sea.

Manaphy gently stroked Fiona's little head, a thoughtful look flashing across his face.

His intuition told him that the world was about to become turbulent, and he didn't want to be caught in the vortex, especially since he was very weak.

Groudon secretly formed an alliance and recruited a large number of gods, all of which seemed to be brewing an unprecedented storm.

Not wanting to be caught up in the storm, Manaphy decided to go into seclusion.

On the one hand, he could take advantage of the chaos; although he joined the alliance, it was purely out of fear of being isolated.

As for contributing to the league?
Manaphy could only say that he was too weak at the moment and needed to go into seclusion to recover his strength.

"Fiona, I'm leaving this place to you. Remember not to wander off, and especially not to come into contact with humans. Human minds are too complicated; you can't outmaneuver them."

"I need to go into seclusion for a while. No matter what happens during this time, do not disturb me, and do not leave the secret realm." After saying this, Manaphy headed towards the depths of the divine palace on his own.

Fiona looked at her mother's retreating figure, wanting to say something but then stopping herself.

He wanted to ask if He could take Him along if He went into seclusion, since He was quite bored.

In the end, Fiona sighed and decided to go and play happily with her friends.

Phiona, which was less than 10 years old, did not yet possess the loneliness of a god, but rather the liveliness of a child.

Alliance Headquarters, Supreme Meeting.

"This concludes the entire transaction between the Secret Realm Remnants and Lu Li," the middle-aged man said, standing in the center.

"A wish-granting god who can grant any wish—no wonder the Star Wish Clan has so many divine beasts," Peng Chongshan exclaimed in sudden realization.

Wen Gongmao also lamented, "It's a pity we found out too late, and the version had already been updated."

"Lu Li went too far. As a member of the alliance, he actually took it upon himself to make a deal with the remnants of the secret realm," a master-level trainer said angrily.

Now all the Wishing Star Beads have been snapped up by the Remnants of the Secret Realm, which means that the God of Wishes is completely out of reach for them.

Dragon Throne sneered disdainfully, "Stop baring your teeth. The Star Wish Clan has kept this a secret for so long, and I haven't seen you bar your teeth at all."

The master retorted, "Isn't it because we don't know?"

"Now that you know, what are you going to do? Negotiate with the remnants of the secret realm? Or seize the Wishing Star Bead?" Dragon Throne continued to ask with a cold smile.

"I... Hmph! Incomprehensible."

The master-level trainer snorted coldly and said nothing more.

Because neither the former nor the latter is something a small-time guy like him could do.

He simply wanted to break the blockade imposed by the remnants of the secret realm, so that they too could have the right to compete.

In fact, quite a few people have this idea, but no one dares to be the first to speak out, or even dare to mention it openly.

If the strength of the Kyushu Alliance is 10, then the strength of the Secret Realm Alliance is 1000. Even if we take out a single Secret Realm Remnant Clan, its strength is around 15.

They could threaten a single clan from a secret realm, but the Secret Realm Alliance was beyond the reach of the Kyushu Alliance, and even the reorganized Global Alliance wouldn't be qualified to challenge them.

"I remember that guy said he would attack the Dark Web headquarters if the Alliance was willing to give him a bear apprentice."

"It's been so long, why hasn't he set off yet? Could it be that he's not planning to go? Or is he going to postpone it for decades?"

A sarcastic voice rang out in the conference room.

The meeting room fell silent upon hearing this.

That's exactly what happened, but the problem is, who's going to bring it up?
What if they really want to take advantage of you and then go back on their word?
And even if we take a step back and assume they agree to go, what if they hold a grudge?
Being targeted by a god-level trainer is far more terrifying than being targeted by a master-level trainer.

This is the current situation of the Kyushu Alliance.

The answer is loyalty.

When asked again, she simply refused to go.

The alliance president was also having a headache watching this scene.

How can we possibly manage the Kyushu Alliance if we're dealing with these insects?!
"Let's leave the matter of the Wish God aside; after all, that's a matter for the Secret Realm Alliance," the Alliance President said, trying to salvage the situation.

The God of Wishes certainly doesn't belong to any faction, but the Secret Realm Alliance has already spoken, so it would be foolish for them to continue to cause trouble.

"Let's talk about the dark web. I'll trouble Elder Wen to inquire about this matter." After saying this, the Alliance President looked at Wen Gongmao with pleading eyes.

As the saying goes, a gentleman can be deceived by his principles.

Wen Gongmao is such a gentleman. He may not be the strongest trainer in the conference room, but he is definitely the trainer with the highest moral standards.

Moreover, he is the most loyal trainer to the league.

The old foxes in the meeting room would never agree to something that would offend anyone, but someone had to do it. So, the only option was to entrust this task to a good person.

Good people are willing to offend individuals for the benefit of the group.

Facing the gazes of everyone in the conference room, Wen Gongmao nodded with a wry smile.

Now he has no choice but to bite the bullet and play the villain.

The alliance leader, who still had some conscience, said with some reluctance, "Elder Wen, you can just ask him, don't force him."

"Well, I'll ask him. I can't do anything else." Wen Gongmao didn't refuse, and besides, he had only intended to ask anyway.

This matter is temporarily resolved. The alliance leader then said, "Next is the border conflict with the Indian alliance. As I said before, they need support and everyone's help."

This was the umpteenth time he had put forward this proposal, but the Supreme Council had been held time and time again, and the issue had been shelved time and time again.

Upon hearing that they were to release water themselves, everyone immediately began to shirk their responsibilities, a crucial task from the conference era.

The alliance president watched all of this with a gloomy expression.

That's it again!

It happens again!!
Can't these damned insects have even a little bit of righteousness in their youth?
The alliance president said in an unquestionable tone, "This matter must be resolved today."

At this point, he didn't care about offending the powerful families anymore; there was nothing he could do, these people were just too good at slacking off.

If a decision is not made soon, this proposal may be shelved indefinitely.

But the border region couldn't wait any longer; there were even cases of champions falling from grace.

This is a very alarming sign.

In past conflicts, although champions participated, they never reached the point of life or death.

Previously, this group of people kept dragging their feet, and the support they provided was like milking a cow, only a little bit at a time.

To completely resolve this conflict, drastic measures are necessary!

This is also the thing that no one wants to face the most, because it means greater investment while the benefits remain the same.

“You all need to contribute some of your resources. I will put the mythical beast egg gifted by the Star Wish Clan into the Merit Exchange Vault, and the Alliance will also put the Bear Apprentice into it.”

After saying these words, the alliance president slumped into his seat as if all his strength had been drained.

He knew that if the alliance didn't feed these jackals, they wouldn't be willing to put in any effort.

The ultimate dream of these aristocratic families has never been to control the alliance, but to ascend to become a clan of the secret realm, and for the entire family to be passed down eternally and powerfully.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the meeting room held their breath.

Generous!
An unprecedentedly large-scale undertaking!

One legendary Pokémon egg and two legendary Pokémon cubs!

If you had made up your mind earlier, would things have turned out this way?

You should have said so earlier! How could the Leng family possibly have the chance to accumulate merit points for something like this?

The thought that the Leng family had already sent out a master-level trainer, and that they were already so far behind, finally made everyone unable to hold back any longer.

“Our Long family is willing to take the lead, and I will personally lead the team,” Long Yuzuo said, standing up with high spirits.

"The Lei family is willing to go through fire and water for the alliance!"

"Long live the Alliance! That damned Indian Alliance must be punished, and our Wu family is willing to be the Alliance's sharpest weapon."

"President! Leave this matter to our Liu family. The Liu family is willing to shed our last drop of blood for the alliance."

Seeing this scene that resembled a chaotic dance of demons, Wen Gongmao's lips twitched slightly.

This Kyushu Alliance is doomed!
What a bunch of shameless beasts!

I just stood there, completely still, afraid of being called on.

Now look what's happened; these people have abandoned all shame in their pursuit of this support quota.

The alliance president's lips twitched slightly upon seeing this.

In fact, the alliance is still viable, provided you have enough bones to feed these hungry wolves.

The alliance leader asked in a calm tone, "Support slots are limited. After all, we are not waging war against the alliance. Everyone, please tell us how much support you are willing to provide."

"Our Liu family is willing to produce one master and two champions."

"The Liu family is willing to provide one Master Trainer, seven Master Pokémon, and two Champion Trainers."

"The Wu family is willing to provide two Master Trainers, ten Master Pokémon, and three Champion Trainers."

"Sigh~"

Wen Gongmao gasped, staring at the Wu family representative with a look of utter shock.

"Has the Wu family gone mad? They're gambling with their entire fortune." Peng Chongshan thought to himself, speechless.

The combat power that the Wu family has brought out is almost all of the family's high-end combat strength.

At this moment, everyone in the conference room had only one thought.

That means the Wu family has gone mad; they're risking their lives again for the sake of the divine beast.

"It's just the Du family."

The alliance president sighed inwardly.

In their eyes, this kind of behavior, which involves gambling with the entire family, is simply insane.

It's just a mythical beast cub, why is the Wu family going to such lengths?

The other aristocratic families were speechless for a moment, and then chose to remain silent.

The final result is that both the Wu and Liu families will go to provide support. If nothing unexpected happens, this time it will be the Wu, Liu, and Leng families competing for the mythical beast cub.

…………

Inside the Lu family villa.

Under the gaze of the women, Lu Li solemnly took out the box containing the Deep Sea Heart Tears.

The Deep Sea Tears cannot be reused; they are like a key that unlocks human superpowers.

Yao Yifei, Freya, Wei, Baobao, Long Ying.

Apart from Yu Lili, almost all the women who had a relationship with Lu Li were present.

There are nine drops of Deep Sea Heart Tears in total. Even if each woman were to receive one drop, there would still be some left over.

Lu Li arranged it this way: one drop for each of the five women, but Long Ying had to join the Lu family and have a curse mark placed on her.

After all, human nature is too difficult to grasp, unlike the simple and transparent nature of elves.

Lu Li didn't dare gamble on a woman's admiration for him, much less on a woman's feelings for him.

As for Yu Lili, that will depend on the other party's choice at that time.

Of the remaining three drops of Deep Sea Heart Tears, Ike will definitely take one, after all, he already has a curse mark on him and is extremely loyal.

Ike deserves it; he is at least more deserving of the Deep Sea Tears that Yu Lili bestowed upon him.
