"Now, little sister, do you believe that I have no ill intentions?"
After feeding the little girl more than ten snack sticks, Emery hugged her tightly and stroked her again, then asked with a smile.
This time, the little girl didn't resist much, her face showing a completely open expression:
"Who knows... You humans are despicable. Maybe you're already thinking about how to kill me, extract my materials, and sell them for money... Anyway, I can't beat you, so do as you please."
"...Little sister, why do you have such thoughts?"
Emery was genuinely curious this time:
"You've been living in seclusion here for a long time, haven't you? Thousands of years? Could it be that you were tricked by some bad person before, little sister?"
"...It's all because of that bastard Ji Yue!"
The little girl bit her lip, seemingly recalling past humiliations, and her beautiful eyes gradually filled with tears:
"She's really too much... but she's so powerful, even more powerful than you. I'm no match for her at all, so I can only hide here."
"Ji Yue..."
Amelie's lips twitched. This was interesting; it was actually related to the Dao Ancestor.
So Emerald took out another bag of snacks, opened it, and gently fed the little girl piece by piece, a slightly strange smile playing on her lips:
"What bad things has Ji Yue done? Tell your sister, okay?"
"Hime Tsuki is absolutely wicked... umm umm umm."
The little girl was clearly completely uninhibited, no longer resisting Amelie's feeding at all, and telling Amelie about the Dao Ancestor's dark history while eating snacks:
"Back then, I was still living in the ocean. The entire sea tribe worshipped me as their ancestor and offered me all kinds of delicious food and treasures every day. I lived a carefree and happy life."
"Although this kind of life is good, I got a little tired of it after a while, so one day I went closer to the land to see what life on land was like."
"Back then, I didn't know how to use illusion magic, so my real body came ashore... It seems that I scared the humans on land. I just spat some water at them to greet them, and they all ran away in a panic."
"Then not long after, Ji Yue arrived and beat me up. I couldn't even escape and became her prisoner."
"I thought I was going to die, but then she started muttering something about how such a big fish needs to be cut alive to keep it fresh... Listen to the nonsense she's spouting?"
"Then she lied to me, saying she could take me to the human kingdom to play, and would buy me all kinds of delicious food and fun things every day, and make me go with her... Humph."
"So you just believe it like that?"
Amélie asked, finding it quite amusing.
"What can you do if you don't believe her? She's too strong."
The little girl continued munching on her snacks, saying helplessly:
"Then she used a very strange method to directly implant the knowledge of the magic that could turn me into a human into my brain, and I learned it in an instant... That's how I became the way you see me now."
"I have to admit, Ji Yue's magic is quite powerful. Although I'm much weaker now, I'm also more agile and have better control over my strength."
"After all, you've taken human form."
Emery nodded thoughtfully.
The little girl's experience is clearly the transformation of a powerful demon beast, and it is also one of the important signs that the demon beast has abandoned darkness and turned to light to become a spirit beast.
Then Dao Ancestor Ji Yue should be considered the little girl's master... but judging from the way the little girl gritted her teeth when she mentioned Ji Yue, their relationship probably wasn't that good.
So Emerald continued to listen patiently to the little girl's story, and the more she listened, the stranger her expression became.
Perverts who enjoy abducting young girls are not uncommon in this world; both the Allen Federation and the Tianyun Empire kill several of them every year.
Unexpectedly, Dao Ancestor Ji Yue was also such a person; she also lusted after young girls' bodies, in the literal sense of lust.
Perhaps it was because the flesh of the little girl's original fish form was so delicious that after the Dao Ancestor tricked her into coming to his side, he raised her, but every now and then he would make the little girl reveal her original fish form and cut off a large piece of fresh fish meat from her body.
Although for a little girl with such vitality, having a few cuts in her flesh is hardly an injury, it still hurts a lot.
So the little girl tried to escape many times, but she could never escape. Even if she could run to the sea, she would be caught by the Dao Ancestor again. Many of the powerful sea beasts that tried to help her were also caught by the Dao Ancestor and turned into seafood.
Until about 6000 years ago, the Dao Ancestor failed to forcibly prove the Dao and had to go into seclusion for a long time to adjust his state.
The little girl seized that opportunity to escape, and after escaping, she headed north until she finally found this space hidden behind the ice, where she hid for a thousand years.
Chapter 366 The Elf Queen's Methods
"That woman, Ji Yue, is scum..."
After listening to the little girl recount her past grievances with Dao Zu, Amelie immediately joined in speaking ill of Dao Zu, using shared hatred to bring the two closer.
The little girl's attitude improved noticeably.
Seeing this, Emery took out another bag of snacks and fed it to the little girl, saying in a seemingly indifferent tone:
"By the way, little sister, I still don't know how to address you. My name is Emerald Melson, and I'm quite well-known in the human world... If you ever have the chance to visit the human world, just mention my name and you can eat and drink whatever you want."
"Pshaw, I don't want to go play in the human world, humans are all so wicked!"
The Dao Ancestor's actions clearly left a lot of psychological trauma on the little girl. Whenever she mentions the human world, she looks disgusted and a little scared.
However, after eating a few more bites of the snacks that Emery fed her, the little girl still smacked her lips and said her name:
"My name is Beibei."
"Beibei?"
Amelie raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
Although she transformed into a little girl after becoming human, she is still the oldest living creature. Judging from the dark shadow underwater, her body is at least 300 meters long. How could she have such a pet-like name?
"Did that woman, Ji Yue, give you that name?"
Amélie asked, guessing.
After all, the little girl was captured by Dao Ancestor Ji Yue and raised as food for a period of time, so it doesn't seem strange that she was given a pet's name.
"It wasn't that wicked woman who named it!"
As a result, the little girl Bebe got angry immediately, bit Amelie's finger, and then scratched her head, looking somewhat bewildered, and said:
"But I can't remember exactly who gave me this name... I think I had this name before I could remember anything?"
"Before you could remember?"
A thought struck Amelie:
"About how long ago was that?"
"Ugh...it's been a long time."
Beibei tilted her head, her tone quite casual:
"I don't remember exactly how long it was, but when I first started to remember things, I was the only life in the ocean. I didn't even have any meat to eat and could only survive by absorbing magic... The land was completely barren, and you humans didn't even exist there."
"As expected..."
Amélie seemed lost in thought.
According to current information, the Elf Queen came to this world about 2 years ago, when there were no humans and the world consciousness had just been born.
However, based on some details in the original game, this world may have had an even more ancient prehistoric civilization, but it is unknown why it was destroyed... The Elf Queen also said that when she first arrived, this world seemed to have just experienced a disaster.
In the real-world Allen Federation, archaeologists have proposed various hypotheses and conjectures about prehistoric civilizations, and have even unearthed some seemingly plausible artifacts, but so far, none of them have been truly confirmed.
But now Beibei claims that she was named before she could even remember things... so the speculation about prehistoric civilization might not be entirely unfounded.
Considering the somewhat eccentric Slater Medical and Debbie Slater's so-called final reckoning, perhaps it's related to the catastrophe that wiped out prehistoric civilizations?
Amelie thought of many things in an instant, but immediately shook her head to bring herself back to her senses.
Slat Medicine's bizarre behavior and so-called final reckoning are indeed noteworthy, but let's get past the Dao Ancestor first.
"Beibei, let me tell you... Ji Yue is a really wicked woman. She not only bullied you, Beibei, but she also bullied me. So I'm looking for someone to beat her up..."
Seeing that she and Bebe had gotten close enough, Emerald finally revealed her purpose:
"Beibei, would you be willing to help?"
"Beat up a bad woman? Okay, okay... uh."
Upon hearing that she was going to beat up Dao Ancestor Ji Yue, Bei Bei was initially very happy, but she immediately lowered her head in disappointment:
"But...but Beibei isn't good at fighting! Even though you're not as strong as me, Beibei can't fight back against you, let alone beat up a bad woman."
"It's alright, Beibei, you don't need to do it yourself. You just need to help your sister persuade some people..."
Emerald patted Bebe's head to comfort him, and at the same time, with a thought, she released the magical seal on Bebe's body:
"Beibei, do you still remember the mermaids and fishmen who offer you food every day in the sea? You just need to talk to them as I taught you, and you don't need to worry about the rest. I promise I will teach that scumbag Ji Yue a lesson."
"Really?"
Upon hearing that she didn't have to do it herself, Bebe's eyes immediately lit up. Even though she had regained her strength, she didn't break free from Amelie's embrace and remained lazily lying in Amelie's arms, accepting snacks.
"Of course it's true. How could someone as beautiful as me lie?"
Emery's tone was gentle, and her eyes were sincere:
"So, after you've eaten, how about you come with me? Of course, you'll need to come in your original form... Don't worry, that wicked woman Ji Yue is busy right now and doesn't have time to bully Bei Bei."
"Then... that's fine."
Beibei hesitated for a while, but finally nodded in agreement.
Once you've convinced Beibei, it will be easy to get the sea tribe to join you in fighting the Dao Ancestor.
When Beibei appeared in its enormous form, which was over 300 meters long, all the kings and nobles of both the merfolk and the fish-men knelt down and bowed in fervor, showing no sign of disrespect.
Beibei is the first creature in the entire ocean. Biologically speaking, the entire sea race can be considered her child. Any marine creature is genetically suppressed in front of Beibei and finds it difficult to disobey her commands.
Therefore, Emerald, who was able to stand on Bebe's head and be close to Bebe, became the envoy in the eyes of the sea creatures. Even the kings of the fish-men and mermaids had to bow to her.
Now, Emerald demands that the Merfolk and Fish-Men temporarily cease their conflict and jointly send experts to join the allied forces to attack the Immortal Sect and stop the Dao Ancestor. Both races have no choice but to agree.
Thus, the allied forces composed of the Allen Federation, the Elf Kingdom, the Shangying Kingdom, the Mermaid Clan, and the Fishman Clan were established. In accordance with Ameliete's request, all parties quickly arrived at the port north of the Shangying Kingdom to assemble.
This battle is of paramount importance to the entire world, especially to the strong, for defeat means the loss of freedom.
Therefore, apart from the essential forces left behind to maintain order, almost all the powerful individuals that each country could mobilize were dispatched.
All the Fusion Stage mages from the Allen Federation who were training in the wilderness or had nothing to do came, totaling more than 70 people. In addition, there were more than 10 archmages from the Lohid Magic Academy, making a total of more than 90 third-stage powerhouses, the strongest force in the allied forces.
Secondly, there is the Kingdom of Shangying. All 50 great priestesses who were previously purified by Emerald went into battle, along with more than 10 swordsmen and sorcerers from the common people. They all volunteered to join the allied forces to fight for freedom after hearing about the Dao Ancestor. In total, there are more than 60 third-stage powerhouses.
The Elven Kingdom originally had a large number of powerful individuals, with nearly a hundred archmages... Unfortunately, the two wars caused heavy losses to the Elven race, and they have now completely declined. Silbi tried her best to gather more than 30 archmages, several of whom had only recently been promoted.
Even though the Elf Kingdom has declined to this point, it is still stronger than the Sea Clan. The Sea Clan has truly suffered from a severe shortage of talent during its ten-thousand-year civil war. Now, the Merfolk and Fish-Men combined cannot even gather 20 third-stage powerhouses.
Fortunately, the sea creatures are marine life, with the ocean as their natural protection; otherwise, they would probably have been wiped out by humans long ago, and all of them captured and used as raw materials and food.
Although the number of powerful sea creatures deployed was the smallest, they were still indispensable in Amelie's plan to attack the Immortal Sect. The sea creatures' innate and powerful water control abilities would play a crucial role when the allied forces broke into the Tianyun Empire's territory.
The four great nations mobilized a total of slightly over 200 powerful individuals, while the Immortal Sect itself had nearly 300 Enlightenment Stage experts. Therefore, the Tianyun Empire is the oldest and most powerful nation in the world.
Fortunately, neither the Tianyun Empire nor the Immortal Sect is a monolithic entity, and the preparations and maneuvers of Hongyi and Ji Xinyu over the years have been effective.
Ji Xinyu has sent the latest news to Amelie through Fujiwara Momiji via the black market.
The powerful demonic cultivators from the Netherworld Cult will also join the allied forces, but they will not come to Shangying Kingdom to participate in the allied forces' assembly. They will coordinate their actions independently after the allied forces begin their attack.
As for the powerful figures in the immortal sects, Ji Xinyu has secretly won over and persuaded some of them, and will also try to restrain others.
However, those powerful immortal sects who agreed to help stop the Dao Ancestor from merging with the Dao would not immediately betray the alliance and join it. Instead, they would only do so after seeing the possibility that the alliance could stop the Dao Ancestor... that is, after the alliance broke through the protective formation of Yunshan Mountain.
In conclusion, the combined forces should have more than 250 powerful members, while after some of the powerful members of the Immortal Sect defected and others were restrained, there should still be about 150 loyal followers of the Dao Ancestor remaining.
"...No matter what, with 250 against 150, the advantage is still mine."
In the port north of Shangying Kingdom, after compiling the intelligence, Emerald muttered something under her breath and began making the final preparations for attacking the Immortal Gate—summoning the Elf Queen.
After their last meeting in the Elf King's capital, the Elf Queen taught Amelie special magic. Now, Amelie can summon the Elf Queen all by herself, and no longer needs the Seven Rainbows Clan.
The Elf Queen was clearly prepared. She was sleeping very lightly this time, and responded immediately to Amelie's slight summons, reappearing once again as an elf with long, seven-colored hair.
Good morning, Your Majesty.
Emery greeted everyone warmly before getting straight to the point:
"As Your Majesty can see, the powerful figures of the four great kingdoms have already gathered, waiting for Your Majesty to sever the connection between the Dao Ancestor and the Tianyun Empire... Otherwise, facing the authority of the Heavenly Dao, we may suffer heavy losses before even seeing the Dao Ancestor."
"...You did a great job, as expected of you."
