Chapter 484 She Awakened the Tree of Life

Bai Wanwan's voice drew the attention of all the orcs.

"Who are you? How did you get in?" The dragon beastmen were all surprised by their sudden appearance.

Jiaoyuan immediately instructed the male beside him, "Go and escort them out."

Several male dragons walked towards her, but were stopped by Hua Han and Yan Lie at the front.

"My tribe has important matters to attend to today and does not wish to cause conflict. Foreign beastmen, please leave." Jiao Yuan restrained his emotions and tried his best to maintain proper etiquette.

Bai Wanwan ignored him and, protected by several beastmen, walked to the Tree of Life.

"Little female, what are you doing? Get away right now!"

"If you don't leave now, don't blame us for taking action."

Bai Wanwan ignored their rebukes and reached out to touch the Tree of Life...

When the slender fingertips touched the rough, cold trunk of the Tree of Life, which seemed to have lost all vitality, an extraordinary phenomenon occurred!

A verdant hue instantly spread beneath his palm, like a pebble thrown into a stagnant pool, rippling outwards in layers of waves!

The green light spread rapidly along the tree trunk, and wherever it passed, the withered and wrinkled bark seemed to be infused with sweet spring water, regaining its deep, dark green luster!

The dry, cracked fissures visibly healed, and countless tiny buds, like green stars, eagerly emerged from between the branches, unfolding into tender, dewy new leaves!
The musty smell was completely replaced by a fresh, vibrant scent of grass and trees.

The withered Tree of Life suddenly burst forth with a dazzling emerald green beam of light, shooting straight into the sky!
The powerful life energy, like a warm tide, instantly swept across the entire valley and even spread to the entire Jiaolong tribe.

The wounded orcs in the tribe felt their wounds healing rapidly, and the old and weak orcs seemed to have become several years younger, with the dormant power within them cheering and leaping for joy.

"It's alive! The Tree of Life is alive!"

"Holy Mother! She is the Holy Mother of our Jiaolong tribe!"

"Blessed by the Beast God! Our dragon clan is saved!"

"Thank you, Beast God!"

The dragon-like orcs inside and outside the valley erupted in deafening cheers!

Countless orcs were moved to tears, kneeling devoutly in the direction of the Tree of Life and the white crescent, as if welcoming the arrival of a miracle.

Jiao Yuan stood at the very front. This dignified clan leader also had red eyes at this moment, his heart pounding with immense joy.

He looked at the little female bathed in the light of the Tree of Life, like a goddess descended to earth, and his heart was filled with indescribable excitement and gratitude.

However, amidst this deafening cheers and jubilation, two individuals stood out as out of place.

Coral stood at the edge of the crowd, her face as pale as paper.

Looking at the vibrant, radiant Tree of Life, at the white crescent moon that her people worshipped with fervor, and then at the deep-seated weakness and pain she felt after each attempt, a profound sense of loss overwhelmed her.

why?
Why can't she?

She also wanted to do something for the tribe and for the father beast and mother beast, and tried so many times despite the pain, but never succeeded.

She bit her lower lip, unable to accept such a stark contrast.

Subconsciously seeking comfort from her closest person, she turned to look at the woman in blue beside her, "Mother..."

But the woman in blue looked a hundred times worse than Coral.

It was a deathly pale white, and her lips were completely devoid of color.

Her body trembled like a leaf falling in the autumn wind, her eyes filled with panic and fear. She stared intently at Bai Wanwan in the center of the light, as if she were seeing some terrifying nightmare through her.

"Mother! What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Coral's voice was trembling with tears, filled with worry.

The blue-clad woman's unusual reaction instantly drew the attention of a small group of orcs away from Bai Wanwan.

Just then, an elder of the Jiaolong clan, who had previously harbored resentment over the coral's failure, spoke with a hint of doubt and confusion. His voice, though not loud, was clear, like a drop of water falling into a pot of boiling oil:

"Wait, something's not right! Isn't the Coral Female the chieftain's own offspring? Why couldn't she awaken the Tree of Life despite her best efforts, while this... this unfamiliar female did it so easily? What... what's going on?"

These words were like a bucket of ice water, instantly extinguishing the flames of elation that had just risen in Jiao Yuan and the others.

The lively atmosphere suddenly froze.

The smiles on all the orcs' faces froze, and their gazes, filled with doubt, shock, and disbelief, focused like searchlights on Bai Wanwan, whose light was gradually fading.

"Yeah! That's so weird!"

"Who...who exactly is she? And why can she awaken the Tree of Life?"

“We can’t smell a trace of the dragon clan on her, but she did just awaken the Tree of Life. What’s going on?”

"Little female, are you a descendant of our Jiaolong tribe who were lost to the outside world?"

More orcs bombarded her with questions, their eyes fixed intently on Bai Wanwan, filled with curiosity and bewilderment.

They vaguely suspected that she was likely a descendant of the clan leader's lineage who had been separated from the clan.

Bai Wanwan stood beneath the revitalized Tree of Life, surrounded by emerald light that made her skin appear even whiter than snow, yet her eyes remained as calm as a deep pool.

She did not immediately answer the questions of her people, but slowly scanned the entire room with her gaze.

Finally, her gaze settled on the woman in blue who was trying to pull Coral away from the scene.

A faint, chilling smile curved her lips. "You really want to know who I am? You want to know the truth about this bloodline?"

The voice was clear and cold, reaching the ears of every orc.

"Little female, you must be of our dragon clan's bloodline!"

Bai Wanwan's lips curved into a wider smile, her slender, beautiful fingers pointing precisely at the panicked figure about to flee, as if in judgment. "Then why don't we... ask our esteemed blue-clad female? She should know better than anyone what's going on."

All eyes were like countless invisible ropes, instantly pinning the blue-clad figure, who was about to flee in panic, to the spot.

She felt as if she had been stripped naked and thrown into the freezing cold, her blood frozen solid.

"The female in blue?"

"What...what does this have to do with the blue-clad female?"

The beastmen discussed the matter in shock, their eyes darting back and forth between Lan Yi, Jiao Yuan, and Bai Wanwan with uncertainty.

Jiao Yuan felt as if his heart was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, and a strong sense of unease and chill rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

He strode up to the woman in blue, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, his voice low and urgent, "Blue! What exactly happened? Tell me! That little female... what did she mean?"

He tried to grab the blue-clad woman's hand, hoping to get an answer from her.

However, the man in blue jerked his hand away from Jiao Yuan as if he had been branded with a hot iron, shouting, "Don't touch me!"
