Chapter 539: Chapter 225: The Life Seed Sprouts into a Seedling! With a gentle sound, the grand door slowly opened. In the center of a wide and bright hall, a noble and elegant queen, breathtakingly beautiful and dignified, stood there. She was draped in a gown made of transparent gauze, as soft as clouds, embroidered with complex patterns, mesmerizing like the fireworks blooming in the night sky. "Welcome, my new companion." The queen’s tender yet firm words were like the first ray of sunshine in the morning, falling into everyone’s hearts. David felt a powerful aura emanating from the queen, his eyes narrowed slightly. He could ascertain that the Elf Queen’s strength had reached the Third Ring, and she was a strong presence even within that level. This should be the pinnacle of combat power on the Alien Race Continent. After quietly observing for a moment, he softly responded, "Thank you, Your Majesty the Queen." "I have heard of your courage and abilities." The queen slowly stepped forward. Her eyes, as bright as stars, fixed tightly on David, "This invasion by the Duke of Vampires is just the beginning. I hope to have your help." "It’s only natural." "As a member of the elves, I’m willing to contribute my strength." David spoke, knowing that his most important purpose for seeking out the Elf Race was to obtain their heritage. "Your determination comforts me." The queen smiled, her eyes shimmering with the light of wisdom. "Since you have such a belief, I’m willing to take you to meet the supreme symbol of our tribe — the Life Ancient Tree." "It is the source of all elven heritage and wisdom." David’s heart was shaken; the Life Ancient Tree, in the history and legends of the elves, was undoubtedly a sacred and solemn existence. He had a feeling that the invasion by the Vampire Race was largely for the Life Ancient Tree. With a gentle wave of the queen’s hand, brilliance flashed in the hall, and the entire space seemed to be enveloped in her invisible and powerful aura. "Please follow me." The queen said softly, leading David into a space. In this space, various strange plants grew wildly, swaying with the breeze, like a dance of nature. Light filtered through the gaps in the leaves, sprinkling on the ground like stars falling on the earth, making the whole world appear vibrant. Finally, they arrived at a vast open area where a huge, lush ancient tree stood majestically. This tree reached the clouds, its branches and leaves luxuriant, and David could feel the strong life energy emanating from it. "This is our Life Ancient Tree." The queen said respectfully, "It is not only the spiritual sustenance of our tribe but also the source of all power and wisdom." David quietly gazed at this great ancient tree, stepped forward, and placed his palm on the thick and warm trunk. He could feel the pulsing rhythm from deep within the wood, like a beating heart resonating with the elf bloodline within him. At that moment, he felt a warmth flowing into his body, the energy like a gentle stream flowing smoothly. David’s heart stirred, activating the power of the elf bloodline and the Life Seed within him, continuously integrating life energy into the Life Seed. At this moment, the warmth instantly turned hot, and a brilliant green light surged from the Life Ancient Tree, as if the entire tree was coming back to life. Witnessing this scene, the Elf Queen showed a surprised expression. Evidently, she did not expect the elf before her to so easily complete resonance with the Life Ancient Tree! Indeed, the Life Ancient Tree had begun to awaken. This situation had only occurred once before when she became the Elf Queen! Moreover, the life energy contained within the Life Ancient Tree was continuously entering the other’s body, being absorbed incessantly. David was meticulously experiencing it now. Meanwhile, he had already activated the Plant Control Mark within him, attempting to merge with the Life Ancient Tree. With his eyes closed, natural landscapes appeared in his mind, the growth of everything, the blooming and fading of flowers, the cycles of the seasons unfolding in his mind. He focused on feeling the pulsation of the Life Ancient Tree, the profound and distant life force seemingly telling him that this was not just a place of heritage, but a force of unending vitality. As the Plant Control Mark within him gradually awakened, that green light like a gentle stream merged into his body. He diligently guided this life energy, attempting to establish a deeper resonance with the ancient tree. At that moment, he felt an unprecedented connection, as if the entire world was responding to his call. "Come, let us grow together." David silently thought, deepening his connection with the ancient tree. He expanded his consciousness, communicating with every leaf and branch around him. In this process, he could clearly perceive the endless wisdom and power harbored within the Life Ancient Tree. Memories surged into his mind like a tide, letting him understand the meaning of Natural Law. As the power gradually increased, the small Life Seed within him began to tremble. Under the influence of this powerful energy, it seemed to ignite, continuously expanding and transforming. David felt an unprecedented force of rebirth spreading throughout his body, akin to a seedling breaking through the soil, full of vitality. He hurriedly concentrated all the absorbed energy onto that small seed, allowing it to continuously draw from the endless power flowing into his body from the Life Ancient Tree.
