Outrageous! I started as the Elf King!

Chapter 196 The Secret of the Old Tree! Your Majesty, then I won't stand on ceremony!

"You inherited Arthas's very destiny?"

Lin Yi looked at the elegant Moon Elf Queen beside him with a surprised expression.

The "faith deal" between the Moon Elf Queen and the Elf Goddess did not surprise him.

A Moon Elf is absolutely worth nurturing by the Elf Goddess.

As for the Moon Elf Queen, it's understandable that she would take this opportunity to gain some benefits from the Elf Goddess.

After all, she also has to think about herself.

To put it bluntly, if the Moon Elf Queen had refused to become a follower of the Elf Goddess, perhaps she wouldn't be who she is today.

The Elf Goddess suffered a devastating blow in the land of faith on the Dark Continent.

If another Moon Elf Queen were to "rise up in rebellion," it's likely that the entire Dark Continent would be devoid of any elves or sub-races that would worship her.

Therefore, she was determined to capture the Moon Elf Queen.

The Moon Elf Queen became her follower, and she bestowed benefits upon the Moon Elf Queen, helping the Moon Elf Girl Five to grow.

This is a mutually beneficial deal.

Even if the Moon Elf Queen only wanted to appease the Elf Goddess, she had to agree.

The only thing that surprised Lin Yi was...

The fact that the Moon Elf Queen had received the inheritance of the destiny essence of the Sun Elf King Arthas surprised him somewhat.

Instead of answering, the Moon Elf Queen asked, "Does Your Majesty know where I was conceived?"

Lin Yi frowned in thought.

A moment later, a sudden inspiration struck him, and he said with a stunned expression, "You don't mean to say that you were born from an old tree, do you?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The Moon Elf Queen said softly, "My mother is the Tree of Life in the ruins of the Imperial Capital."

More than two thousand years ago—

"My mother gave birth to me and personally handed me the half of the scepter, which contains the very essence of Arthas, the Sun Elf King's destiny."

"Even the Elf Goddess doesn't know about this."

"In the years that followed, with my mother's help, I ascended to demigod status and came to this chaotic plain."

"I obeyed my mother's command to create a sanctuary here for the elves and their dependent races."

"I encountered another miracle performed by the goddess of elves, and with her help, I finally became a god."

"Both my mother and the Elf Goddess hope that I can protect the Elf faction."

"However, their starting points are not the same."

"The Elf Goddess wants me to rebuild her faith, while my mother wants me to protect the Elf faction and cultivate diligently, secretly refining Arthas's destiny."

"In the beginning."

"I consider myself a true believer of the goddess of elves."

"But as I merged with Arthas's destiny and took control of my own destiny, I began to have my own ideas."

The Moon Elf Queen sighed softly.

She continued, "During that time, I was lost, and even felt that I had betrayed the Elf Goddess. I returned to the ruins of the imperial capital to confide in my mother, who simply told me to follow the guidance of fate."

"After a long time, I finally figured it out."

"Only by taking control of your own destiny can you have a bright future!"

"Hundreds of years ago, the Burning Legion of the Demon Race withdrew from the Dark Continent."

"I went to the Imperial Capital Ruins again, and that was the last time I saw my mother. When I left, she gave me four newly conceived elemental spirits."

"It's Alex and the other three."

"My mother told me that she was going to do something that could truly change the fate of our elven race, and that I should stop bothering her and just wait quietly."

"She told me that one day in the future, someone would come to me with the other half of the Sun Elf King's scepter."

At this point, the Moon Elf Queen's gentle gaze also fell on Lin Yi's incredibly handsome face.

Lin Yi knew.

The person the Moon Elf Queen was referring to was herself.

No wonder the old tree knew so much about the Moon Elf Queen's situation.

Moreover, before his death, he was reminded more than once that he must go to the Chaotic Plains to marry the Elf Queen.

This means the path has already been paved for him.

But how could the old tree know that he could obtain the half of the Sun Elf King's scepter?

At this moment, the Moon Elf Queen said again, "For hundreds of years, I have tried to deduce that person's identity countless times, but all I have seen is a fog of mystery."

"The fog gradually dissipated only after His Majesty appeared."

"Then I learned that my mother had appointed us as Her Majesty, the Sun Elf!"

"The only thing I don't understand is that my mother had already lost the ability to conceive elves at that time."

"I wonder how she managed to conceive His Majesty!"

Lin Yi also shook her head.

The Moon Elf Queen didn't know, and neither did he.

He arrived in this world several months ago, descending through a soul transfer.

When he opened his eyes, he already looked like this.

He didn't experience the growth cycle of a baby elf or a young elf; he appeared as an adult elf right from the start. Regarding this question...

He didn't ask the old tree either.

After all, from his perspective, he was an "outsider." What if the old tree found out his secret and, in a fit of rage, killed him? Where could he go to seek justice?

Of course, it's also possible that the old tree already knew his secret.

But this is only a possibility.

He couldn't risk testing the old tree based on mere guesswork.

If he guesses wrong, then he'll have worn it for nothing.

Lin Yi said, "I don't know why either. It's a pity the old tree is gone, otherwise I could ask it now."

"Has Mother passed away?"

The Moon Elf Queen trembled slightly, and her eyes widened slightly.

Lin Yi nodded and said, "It's been about a month now. The old tree's life has come to an end, and its soul has returned to the realm of the Elf Goddess."

Upon hearing this, the Moon Elf Queen replied, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. My mother is a goddess, and her lifespan is eternal."

"That's exactly what I'm wondering about!"

Lin Yi wasn't surprised. He said, "At first, I also thought the old tree had really run out of lifespan. But as I became a god, and recalled the aura emanating from the old tree, I knew that it had reached the level of a deity."

"It is highly likely that the old tree did not perish."

"Instead, he was hiding something and took this opportunity to leave."

Although Lin Yi said this, he still felt there were still many doubts.

For example, if the old tree is a deity, why does its remaining form show no trace of divine power, and is no different from a withered ancient tree?

For example, why did the old tree stay in the ruins of the capital for so many years, only to fake its death and leave after he appeared?

Considering the old tree is an immortal god...

Its departure seemed rather hasty. According to the Moon Elf Queen, she left the Imperial Ruins only after she had ascended to demigod status, following the old tree's instructions.

A demigod is considered one of the strongest beings in the Dark Continent.

After all, how many immortal gods are there?

As a demigod, the Moon Elf Queen certainly had the ability to protect herself.

But when the old tree released Lin Yi, he was only a seventh-level professional. Not to mention traveling hundreds of thousands of kilometers to this chaotic plain, it would have been difficult for him to even get out of the Imperial Capital Ruins, where evil forces were concentrated.

From this point of view.

The old tree did indeed leave in a rather hasty manner.

Under normal circumstances, the old tree should have nurtured him to the Saint rank before talking about his death.

The Moon Elf Queen frowned, her eyebrows arching like willow leaves, and said, "If she feigned death and departed, where did Mother go?"

Lin Yi shook her head and said, "Nobody knows."

His system did find some clues.

It can be seen that the old tree went to another dimension, but we don't know what that other dimension is.

The old tree told him something before it died.

Its soul will pray for him in the realm of the elven goddess.

Now it seems...

The old tree is most likely trying to fool him.

After all, given how much the Sun Elf was disliked by the Elf Goddess, for the old tree to dare to "nurture" him would be like touching the Elf Goddess's buttocks, a purely suicidal act.

After doing such a thing, it still dared to go to the realm of the elven goddess.

Isn't that just walking into a trap?

For a moment, both of them fell silent.

The Moon Elf Queen even used the power of fate to try and deduce the old tree's whereabouts, but in the end, she found nothing.

Lin Yi said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if we can't deduce it. As long as we're sure the old tree is still alive, it will appear before us sooner or later and tell us the whole story."

Upon hearing this, the Moon Elf Queen could only nod.

"In the end, I was just too weak!"

"If I had the power of the goddess of fortune, there would be no secrets in the world."

"Then let's get started!"

Lin Yi said, "You need to do those things I just told you about as soon as possible. That way, we can grow faster!"

"I know."

The Moon Elf Queen nodded.

After she finished speaking, she suddenly fell silent again.

Only after a long while did she seem to make up her mind, raising her golden eyes to look at Lin Yi and saying, "Does Your Majesty wish to grasp the power of destiny?"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "The power of destiny is extremely profound. Even the supreme god finds it hard to resist the temptation to control destiny, let alone me?"

"It's a pity I don't possess the talent for affinity with fate."

"We can only feel regret about this."

Upon hearing this, the Moon Elf Queen grasped Lin Yi's right hand and pulled her up from the flowerbed, saying, "I have something to give Your Majesty. With it, Your Majesty will be able to cultivate the mysteries of destiny and the laws of destiny!"

Lin Yi was overjoyed.

He then added, "Are you referring to Arthas's origins in destiny?"

"It is, and it isn't!"

The Moon Elf Queen swayed her graceful figure and led Lin Yi into a room in the flower-filled courtyard.

A moment later, Lin Yi's breathing could be heard from inside the room.

"Your Majesty, why have you come to this?"

"Your Majesty, I have already refined Arthas's destiny essence, and this is the only way I can help you comprehend it."

"Your Majesty, I lack the relevant affinity talent, and no matter how much I try to comprehend it, I cannot succeed—"

"It's alright. My mother gave me a wondrous item that granted me an affinity for the element of fate, and I've kept it ever since. Now that I think about it, my mother intended for me to deliver it to His Majesty!"

"Such a wondrous object still exists in this world?"

"If Your Majesty has any doubts, we can discuss them later."

"In that case, Your Majesty, I will not stand on ceremony!"
