The evil female is weak and the males of the whole continent are out of control and fall.

Chapter 479 Bloodline?
The withered leaves seemed to have been infused with water. Although they were still shriveled, they stopped curling and falling off. Some of the tender leaves at the very top even struggled to show a hint of fresh green.

The faint, almost extinguished green light rekindled, though it was far less dazzling than when it erupted that night, but much more stable, like a candle flickering in the wind covered with a thin lampshade.

This scene was clearly visible to the Jiaolong people who were watching from afar outside the forbidden area.

"My God! Look, there's light! The light of the Tree of Life is shining again!"

"The clan leader and the others succeeded!"

"The tribe is saved!"

The overwhelming joy of surviving the ordeal instantly swept through the entire tribe!

The long-suppressed worries and fears turned into thunderous cheers and dancing.

Many orcs were so moved that tears welled up in their eyes, and they knelt down devoutly in the direction of the forbidden area.

This brief "sustainable" chance, like a drowning person grasping at a straw, gave them space to breathe and hope.

The light gradually faded, and the formation fell silent.

Jiao Yuan and the Crimson Rank Elder were pale, weak, and covered in fine beads of sweat, clearly exhausted and barely able to stand.

Jin Ying's face was also slightly pale, but his breathing remained steady. However, the depths of his icy eyes seemed to have become even colder, as if the spell he had just cast had consumed a lot of heat from his body.

The Tree of Life has regained a faint vitality, which, although only a temporary measure, has at least stabilized the situation.

Jiaoyuan looked at the hard-won green on the treetops, breathing heavily, but there was little joy in his eyes, only deeper weariness and worry.

Jin Ying walked to his side. "Uncle Yuan, I've heard you have a female offspring. The most fundamental solution to the revival of the Tree of Life lies in awakening its origin with pure and powerful new bloodline energy. Why... not let your female offspring, Coral, try?"

Upon hearing this, Jiao Yuan's bitterness deepened, and he sighed heavily, "Jin Ying, I do have a female offspring, Coral. She is my and my wife's precious child, but I don't know why, no matter how we guide her, no matter how hard Coral tries, she cannot establish any connection with the Tree of Life."

His tone was filled with helplessness and a deep sense of frustration.

Coral, carrying his and his tribe's last hope, was unable to light up the sacred tree.

The two talked as they walked out of the forbidden area together.

However, they hadn't gone far when they were stopped by several respected elder males from the tribe.

The old orcs' faces showed no joy at surviving a catastrophe, only an unyielding heaviness and worry.

"Clan leader!"

The leader, an elderly man with white hair and a bone cane, spoke in a voice that, though aged, carried an undeniable weight: "The state of the Tree of Life cannot be hidden from us old folks. The formation we just used was nothing more than a desperate measure, a forced attempt to prolong its life! It... it can't hold on much longer!"

His cloudy yet sharp eyes stared directly at Jiao Yuan. "Do you... really intend to disregard the life and death of the entire tribe for the sake of a female?!"

The other elderly men nodded in agreement, their eyes piercing, filled with silent condemnation and pleading.

Jiao Yuan's face instantly turned extremely ugly.

Of course he knew; he knew it better than anyone else!

But Lan Yi had given up her other beast husbands for him, how could he bear to let her suffer such betrayal?

That's why he kept delaying. "Elders..." Jiao Yuan's voice was hoarse and full of struggle, "Give me another month!"

He practically gritted his teeth as he said, "If Coral still can't awaken the Tree of Life within a month, I will accept your arrangements and continue the tribe's bloodline."

When he uttered the last few words, it was as if all his strength had been drained away, and his face showed undisguised pain and deep guilt for betraying the man in blue.

Seeing the chieftain's pained and struggling expression, the older males could only let out a long sigh.

They understood the chieftain's feelings for the man in blue, but the survival of the tribe was paramount.

The old man with the cane stepped forward, patted Jiao Yuan's arm, and softened his voice: "Chieftain, you are the pillar of the tribe, and your descendants are related to the continuation of the entire tribe. The blue-clad female... she is righteous and will understand your predicament."

These words were less of a consolation and more of a way to give Jiaoyuan a way out, a psychological boost.

As an outsider, Jin Ying stood quietly to the side, watching everything like a bystander.

He had no right to interfere in the succession and choices within the Jiaolong tribe.

After all the dragon beastmen left, only Jiaoyuan and Jinying remained on the empty road.

As Jiao Yuan looked at the young, powerful, and infinitely promising alien male beside him, a thought suddenly occurred to him.

"Jinying," Jiaoyuan's tone carried a hint of elder's concern, trying to dispel the previous heaviness, "I haven't asked you yet, do you have a partner?"

Jin Ying was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting Jiao Yuan to suddenly ask this question.

He quickly replied, "We're not officially a couple yet."

Jiao Yuan's eyes lit up instantly, filled with eagerness: "Jin Ying, Uncle has a little female named Coral. She's a Holy Female, very beautiful, talented, and has a wonderful personality..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Jin Ying calmly but firmly interrupted him: "Uncle Yuan, thank you for your kindness. Although I have not yet officially become a mate, the clan has already arranged for a female to become my mate."

The light in Jiao Yuan's eyes dimmed instantly, and his disappointment was palpable.

He forced a smile and patted Jin Ying on the shoulder: "Alright, Uncle won't force you."

He said no more and personally escorted Jin Ying to a secluded treehouse near the forbidden area that the tribe had arranged for him to rest.

As evening fell, the afterglow of the setting sun bathed the Jiaolong tribe in a warm golden light. Accompanied by Yan Lie and Jin Yi, Bai Wanwan began to stroll around the tribe.

She needed to familiarize herself with the environment and also look for possible clues.

As they passed a flowerbed filled with strange blue flowers, they ran into Blue Dress and her female coral offspring.

The woman in blue knelt down and gently straightened Coral's gorgeous silk skirt, her movements delicate and full of love.

Coral also possesses outstanding beauty, with a hint of arrogance in her brows, but at this moment she appears very obedient in front of Blue.

The woman in blue took out an exquisite silk handkerchief and gently wiped away non-existent beads of sweat from Coral's forehead. Her eyes were gentle and tender, and a satisfied smile played on her lips, making her appear as a loving and gentle mother.

What Bai Wanwan saw only deepened her doubts and chill.

The blue-clad woman's affection for Coral seemed so genuine, not feigned.

So... is Coral actually her biological child?
If so, what exactly does this person in blue want to do?
