Great Elf Sage

Chris flew away angrily and ignored Nolan. .

Nolan's expression remained normal. This was his and Chris's daily routine, and it always ended with one party losing. This time, he had temporarily won the 'battle' that lasted for several days.

An Jin, still dressed in black and wearing a strange eye patch, appeared behind Nolan at some point.

"It's rare to see someone as strong as you among elven men. Also, is it really okay if you don't chase after me?"

Nolan curled his lips. This was the way he and Chris got along. If he really caught up with her, there wouldn't be a sweet scene. Instead, Chris would most likely get angry and have a fight with Nolan.

Turning to look at An Jin, Nolan did not answer her question, but said:

"So, could you formally introduce yourself, young lady?"

"Oh, you are really good at talking. You have guessed my identity, and you still call me miss. No wonder those girls are surrounding you."

Unlike when he was taciturn when communicating with Shirley and the others before, Anjin was a talkative when talking to Nolan.

An Jin continued: "But it feels good to always be treated as an ancestor and occasionally be called Miss."

Nolan: "I remember that no one among the existing ancient elves recorded in the data was named Dark Gold. A few days ago, I saw that the people in the Presbyterian Church didn't seem to recognize you either."

Dark Gold: "Being indifferent after making a girl angry is a taboo in heterosexual relationships~"

Nolan: "Are you hiding your aura and pretending to be an ordinary Blue Mountain Elf to avoid the sight of World Tree?"

Anjin: "You are really a sinful man who left your angry fiancée behind and got along with another woman."

Nolan: "Although I have some guesses about World Tree, after all, you have been in contact with Him for thousands of years, so I still have to ask you for confirmation on some things."

An Jin: "It seems that Princess Ji Liye is your cousin, and you actually agreed to the arrangement of the Council of Elders. You are indeed an elf who has always been a devil in ethical relationships..."

The dialogue between Nolan and Anjin is completely incompatible, as if they are in two different worlds.

The atmosphere was silent for a while, and finally Nolan broke the deadlock first.

"I said, this Miss Dark Gold, since you still chose to come here with me after I discovered your identity, it means that you have something to say to me, right? We can't do anything about you now. We communicated." Nolan looked helpless.

An Jin no longer smiled playfully, his expression became very boring and said:

"It's not easy to meet an elf who can communicate reciprocally. I thought I would finally relax without having to act sophisticated, but I didn't expect that you are also a boring guy."

Nolan: "If no one whets my appetite with topics that interest me, I consider myself an interesting person."

An Jin turned to look at the World Tree on the horizon, and said quietly: "Mother will not look at things other than herself. She just does her own thing, and I hide my aura. I just don’t want to be recognized by modern elves.”

Nolan understands this very well. The World Tree does not pay attention to everything in the world. The communication between the elves and him is based on equivalent exchange that meets his needs. Nolan was able to get spiritual information from the World Tree. The information about power and magic was also because some of the theories proposed by Nolan were needed by World Tree. He had been guessing before that World Tree seemed to be completely indifferent to the outside world.

"Since World Tree won't pay attention to your little moves, then it's okay for other elves to know. Why do you have to come and communicate with me when Chris is not around?"

"Although that little sister has a unique thinking angle that is different from ordinary elves like you, it will not be good for her to know these things involving 'concepts' too early... And to be honest, I will come back to the Fairyland this time. Sen, I didn’t expect to meet a freak like you, so some things were decided on a temporary basis..."

Anjin laughed and continued: "...Ha, of course, the most important thing is that I don't want the secrets that I will talk about next to involve the true spirit level to be spread to the general group."

What a bad guy! While saying that he didn't want to be regarded as an elder all the time, he also said such self-respecting words.

Nolan rolled his eyes, but didn't say anything. He was such a person. When Bailong came to the door before, he didn't even consider handing over the Broken Tooth of the Sky Ancestral Dragon.

"Concepts, true spirits... So, those legendary ancient true spirits are extraordinary creatures that have mastered the power of 'concept' level?" Nolan asked.

"That's right... Haha, it's really strange for you. You haven't left the Elf Forest and the Broken Tooth Mountains a few times, and you haven't experienced the passage of a long time. You actually spent only ten years in this little 'laboratory'. I came into contact with the 'concept' within a few years..."

Speaking of this, there was a layer of resentment in An Jin's eyes that were covered by the monster eyepatch. How much have you gone through to get to where you are today? How much more have been lost? And this freak named Nolan actually reached this point easily.

Nolan didn't know what An Jin was thinking, he was summarizing the information in his mind.

"A true spirit is an extraordinary creature that has mastered a certain concept. My 'Existence Collapse' is also a concept-level magic. This level of magic has surpassed the legendary magic, and even surpassed the scope of the existing magic ladder. There should be a new name... magic that transcends the level of magic, let's call it super level magic...

... Those ancient true spirits had a big melee for some unknown reason, the most intense of which was the battle between the Sky Ancestral Dragon and the Ocean Lord. The scene of that battle turned into the current storm sea area, and the aftermath of the battle led to the Broken Tooth Mountains and rapids. The formation of the plains, and the battles between other true spirits, led to the fragmentation of the Atalan continent. It is even said that an entire continent to the west of the Atalan continent completely sank to the bottom of the sea during the war...

...If these true spirits have pure 'self' like World Tree, then this war must be for some purpose that is in line with their 'self' desires, so that these pure ancient true spirits can Could it be that the thing that everyone was fighting for was the 'god' that he had always guessed about? "

Thinking of this, Nolan suddenly asked An Jin: "I remember that World Tree did not seem to participate in the True Spirit War?"

"No, He was involved!" Anjin answered affirmatively.

Nolan was a little surprised. The World Tree has been nesting in the Elf Forest since the creation of the world, and it seems to have nothing to do with the war with the real spirits.

I saw An Jin explain: "...There was no Elf Forest before the True Spirit War. After the True Spirit War, the peninsula in the center of the world turned into a sea of ​​death in the southeast with almost no life left. The continent in the west It was directly sunk, and the Broken Tooth Mountains and Rapids Plains were formed in the north..."

Anjin paused for a moment, and after seeing the expression of shock and surprise on Nolan's face, he continued:

"...After this area was completely isolated from the world, He created new elves, and soon the four sisters sacrificed themselves, and the new mixed-blood four-element elves were born. In the next thousands of years, the new elves We live and develop steadily in this paradise, no matter how the outside world is turned upside down, only here is eternal peace."

At this point, Nolan has connected the clues in his mind.

During the True Spirit War seven thousand years ago, through some unknown method, the World Tree caused the other ancient True Spirits to turn the peninsula where they lived into an elven forest isolated from the outside world, and then guided the new elves to gradually evolve into what they are today. The four great elves until the birth of Nolan and Chris began to guide the elves to launch another overall evolution plan...

"Creating a perfect race? Why did He do this?" Nolan raised his head, which was slightly lowered in thought, and asked An Jin.

Dark Jin did not answer Nolan directly, but asked another question:

"Do you know the description of the image of 'god' among humans?"

Sure enough...

Nolan narrowed his eyes slightly and replied: "Human beings' impression of 'god' is probably omniscience, omnipotence, immortality and the like."

"Oh, that's right, but it's too abstract. In fact, there are differences between the images of 'gods'..." Anjin corrected Nolan.

The image of gods was originally born from the imagination of intelligent races such as humans, dwarves, orcs, and giants about the unknown and fear. Therefore, the initial images of gods were related to destruction, punishment, and power, and later evolved to have the ability to destroy the world. image of a deity.

When the society of the intelligent race began to develop, the image of God was gradually given the concept of salvation under the needs of the people, and eventually evolved into the image of the 'omniscient and omnipotent' God who is a trinity of creation, salvation and destruction.

However, due to the emergence of multiple gods with overlapping 'functions' in a small society, the image of God was once again split during the long-term differences and adjustments. Almost every ability in the image of the omniscient and omnipotent God that is looked up to by mortals has been Picked out individually and regarded as a god.

These specifically subdivided images of gods each shared a responsibility in a complete cycle of creation, destruction, and salvation. Over time, the initial images of these gods were gradually blurred, and such abstract 'priesthood' gradually Replaced the original specific image.

"...Although it is different from what is said by intelligent races such as humans, the priesthood is actually a collection of all privileges in a certain field in the operation of the world. It is a complete 'concept' of a closed field that can form a cycle. True spirit-level extraordinary creatures The power of 'concept' is actually a collection of privileges, but because a single or scattered concept cannot form a closed internal cycle, even if the true spirits possess the world privilege of a certain 'concept', they cannot access this field. of the priesthood.”

Nolan relaxed his frown and nodded to make it clear, but he still had a question:

"Is getting the priesthood just for eternal life? This is too boring. After all, extraordinary creatures that can reach the true spirit level should be able to obtain it for a long time. In fact, simple immortality is not as tempting as short-lived species, right? ?”

Regarding this question, An Jin laughed:

"Hahaha, Nolan, then why are you studying your magic? Is it just to become stronger?"

Nolan was stunned for a moment, and then understood.

"Of course not, I just want to go to this end point and have a look."

Yes, everyone is like this. It doesn’t matter about eternal life or powerful power, they just want to move forward...
