Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 1211 - 791: Choice

"I... I..."

Held by Diana, Imheltier blushed.

Trying to speak, but for a moment didn’t know how to answer.

Diana quickly calmed down...

She released her hands, sighed softly:

"Sorry... I was too excited."

Speaking, Diana gently touched the golden crystal, her voice gradually turning a bit melancholic:

"Divine Power of Life... This is a divine power crystal that can only be condensed by a divine being who governs the life laws."

Diana looked up, facing in Imheltier’s direction, and tremulously asked:

"Lord Imheltier..."

"Has the Mother Goddess been revived? Or is there a new Life God in the continent?"

Hearing Diana’s words, Imheltier fell silent.

Seeing the expression of sadness mixed with a hint of hope on the other’s face, Imheltier’s eyes were full of complexity.

His expression, too, gradually grew despondent with the elf.

"No..."

Imheltier shook his head:

"No... I, I don’t know, this... this was given to me by Lord Surt."

Diana was slightly stunned, slowly lowered her head.

"I see..."

Her voice, unclear if in disappointment or relief.

She tightly gripped the golden crystal, murmuring to herself:

"Lord Surt, the Ancient Fire God... just awakened."

"Maybe... this was something He once sought from the Mother Goddess..."

Having said that, she pushed the gold crystal back to the Titan Giant:

"Lord Imheltier... thank you for everything you’ve done for the Elf Clan, but you need it more than I do."

"I... I still have half... this... you keep this!"

Imheltier said, stuttering.

Finished, he stuffed the golden crystal into Diana’s arms, then hurriedly stood up and fled as if to escape.

Diana dazedly held onto half of the life divine power crystal.

She remained silent for a moment, and let out a deep sigh.

Stowing away the crystal, Diana turned around and cautiously placed the new statue that Imheltier gave her on a shelf on the side of the temple.

There, countless smaller and larger goddess statues were already arranged.

Then, she knelt once more in front of the goddess statue in the temple and began to pray softly.

However, her voice was not as calm as it was at the beginning.

At a distance, Imheltier stood outside the temple, listening to Diana’s faintly melancholic voice as she prayed intermittently, and slightly clenched his fists.

A moment later, he turned and left.

Leaving this world, Imheltier returned to the cave again.

And beside the Plane Gate, the Fire Giant Surt was leaning against a boulder, arms crossed, waiting.

"Lord Surt!"

Imheltier greeted, stuttering.

Surt turned, his gaze on him slightly complicated.

"Why not tell her everything?"

He questioned in a deep voice.

Imheltier was silent for a moment, then said:

"The Life Goddess... isn’t necessarily... necessarily the World Tree."

"Lord Guy said, the Life Goddess is very likely the Mother of All Gods, not to mention that even if not, she is also the protector of the Elf Clan."

Surt said.

Hearing his words, Imheltier suddenly felt a little lost.

The Titan Giant remained silent for a long time, speaking softly:

"If she knew... she would leave... leave here."

"In this world... there’s no... no other place... that’s safer than here."

Surt was slightly taken aback.

He sighed deeply and shook his head:

"You are wrong to do this, no one can make choices for others, she’s not an ordinary elf, nor has she made a guardian’s vow, she’s the Moonlight Queen, a demigod of the Elf Clan..."

Upon hearing his words, Imheltier suddenly lifted his head, stubbornly saying:

"Then... then you and Lord Guy... are you right?"

The Titan Giant blushed, seemingly excited:

"Escaping... escaping everything... is that right? Washing one’s hands of everything... is that right? Ignoring everything... is that right?!"

At the end, Imheltier almost shouted out in anger.

Surt frowned slightly.

Seemingly touched a nerve, his eyes suddenly turned a bit somber.

Powerful divine might emanated from him, in an instant... the entire cave seemed to be engulfed in a sea of flames.

However, the Titan Giant still stood upright, red-eyed, meeting his gaze.

"Are you... truly doing this for her good?"

His voice carried a slight tremor.

Surt’s aura slightly paused.

Looking at the Titan Giant’s reddened eyes, the Fire Giant suddenly felt deflated.

Withdrawing his power, he sighed long:

"Surt..."

"From the moment you became a guardian, you should have understood, you are no longer the demigod who could act as you pleased."

Saying this, he looked outside the cave, towards the lush plains in the faraway mountains, towards the scattered villages.

His gaze for a moment became deep:

"In Lord Neo’s prophecy, Segs has six great eras, each era being shorter than the last one..."

"Now, the Eternal Age of the Sixth Era has already passed over a thousand years."

"No one knows when the era of Segs will restart, we must preserve the last flames..."

"We are safeguarding the future, as well as hope, it is the key to breaking this nightmare of a cycle..."

"For this, we must thoroughly sever ties with the disputes on Segs!"

Having listened to the words of the Fire Giant, Imheltier lowered his head.
