Chapter 496 Do you want to become a god?
Li Si's eyes did not stay on the elven village above his head for too long, and soon moved in the direction he was heading.
He could feel that as he continued to go deeper into the dense forest in front of him, the aura of divine power in the air became stronger and stronger.
There are no shadows of the elven villages around, and animals can be seen from time to time in the forest, including squirrels, forest deer, wild boars and even leopards.
However, they did not show any hostility towards Li Si and Daifuni, they just looked at them curiously.
The two of them were walking on a forest path, with bluestones paved on the ground. Countless years had passed, and the surface of the stone slabs had been completely worn away and became rounded and smooth.
A quiet atmosphere filled the forest. Although he was a little curious about where to go, Li Si did not take the initiative to visit Daphne.
Walking on the forest path felt quite good. The strong breath of life emerging from the forest made Li Si feel a lot more relaxed.
Not long after, Li Si’s dense forest parted in front of Li Si, and he suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.
Deep in this dense forest, a stunning gray rock palace stands quietly.
The walls of the palace are made of huge gray rocks, and rough polishing marks can still be seen, as if telling its long history and vicissitudes of the past. These rocks are not simply piled up, but carefully carved and spliced, forming a rough and unique beauty.
On the walls of the palace, the rough patterns vaguely reveal the shadows of various elven patterns today. They are intertwined to form a mysterious and ancient pattern.
When the sun penetrates the treetops and shines on this gray rock palace, the entire palace emits a faint white glow. This kind of brilliance is not dazzling, but gives people a warm and sacred feeling, with a faint sense of sublimity like a god.
The forest surrounding the palace adds a bit of solemnity and solemnity to this mysterious palace.
Giant trees surround the palace from a distance, with tall and thick trunks and lush branches and leaves, as if they are the guardians of the palace.
The giant trees on the edge of the forest sea are slightly tilted, their branches and leaves are swaying gently, as if they are respectfully saluting towards the palace, paying high respect to this mysterious palace.
Li Si looked at the sacred palace in front of him. The sacred feeling surrounded every part of the palace, making people involuntarily feel awe.
This place gave him a much more sacred and solemn feeling than any divine church Li Si had seen before.
Including the Elf Temple in the Emerald City and the Dawn Cathedral in the Bright City.
“This is it.”
Daphne said softly, and then walked towards the gray palace.
Li Si paused slightly, then followed Daphne.
The closer he got to the palace, Li Si felt as if he was facing the power of the gods. As if he was looking up at the gods sitting high in the sky, he felt increasingly insignificant.
Is this palace built by the elves countless years ago to worship the elven gods?
Li Si silently pondered in his mind that if this was the case, then the time that this palace had experienced might be measured in ten thousand years.
It can be seen that this should be the most core and key place in the elven hometown of Tyrion.
Although Tyrion, the home of the elves, also belongs to the elven kingdom, it is more like a direct subordinate of the elven gods alone.
The moon elves living here worship the elven gods, inherit, guide and maintain the beliefs of the elven gods.
For the elven gods, the importance of the elven land is no less important than the elven kingdom.
Why did you bring him here?
Li Si was a little curious. Even if he trusted him again, he shouldn't have brought him to such an extremely important place the first time he came to the land of elves, right?
Is it because of the great elf sage?
Li Si thought of someone. The great sage Adela showed closeness to him when they first met, and also gave him considerable support during the formation of [Wrath of Nature]. Big help.
This is even beyond the level of goodwill.
The other party’s only request is that he come to the land of elves.
It seems that we will soon know why?
Li Si looked at the sacred palace in front of him again and followed Daphne forward.
Only when he arrived at the palace did Li Si realize that he had made a mistake.
Perhaps it was because the distance was too far before, or perhaps it was because of the surrounding giant trees. It was not until Li Si stood on the steps of the palace that he realized that the palace was much larger than he had imagined!
It was like a giant's palace. Standing in front of the closed door more than 20 meters high, Li Si truly felt his own insignificance.
Click, click, click~
In front of Daphne and Li Si, the huge stone door slowly opened inward, and a deep and deep sound sounded like a welcome horn.
"Li Si, just go in."
"Sage Adela is waiting for you inside."
Daphne turned around with a solemn expression. He said, returning to his dignified appearance.
However, her smart eyes flashed with the girl's cheerful mood, and she whispered:
"Come to me after it's over!"
"There are many interesting things in the land of elves. It’s a place, I’ll take you to see it!”
“Okay.”
Li Si smiled and nodded to Daphne, and then strode towards the palace.
As Li Si entered the palace, the heavy door slowly closed, but the sunlight falling from above kept the interior of the palace from being dark.
As soon as you step into the interior of this gray rock palace, you can feel an ancient and profound power filling the air.
The walls on the left and right sides of the palace are carved with complex and exquisite patterns, which tell the myths and legends of the elves. These patterns sway gently under the faint light as if they are alive, leading people's eyes to penetrate into every corner of the palace, making people feel as if they have traveled through time and space and returned to the glorious history of the elves.
In the palace, many statues of gods stand quietly in the falling sunshine. Although their faces are unclear, their postures are either majestic, kind, or heroic. Each statue is lifelike, as if He will wake up from his slumber at any time.
These statues are all shining with sacred light, which is the power of the elves and gods, and is also the protection and blessing given by the gods.
Under this radiance, every inch of space in the palace looks particularly sacred and solemn.
In the center of the palace, in front of the statues of the elven gods, there is an altar carved from white jade. It is tall and solemn, as if it is the heart of the palace.
The altar is covered with the ancient writings of the elves. They are twisted and mysterious, carrying the wisdom and secrets of the elves. These words seem to have magical powers, attracting people's attention and making people want to decipher the mysteries involuntarily.
A faint aroma permeates the palace, making people feel relaxed and happy. It seems that all the worries have disappeared at this moment. Mixed with the sacred feeling brought by the power of faith, people have a deep love for the elves in their hearts. The awe of God, feeling the holiness and solemnity of the gods.
In this palace, time seems to become slow and solemn, and the mood becomes pure and peaceful.
Li Si also slowed down a little and walked towards the center of the palace.
He could see a figure standing on the altar in the center of the palace.
It is Adela, the great elf sage wearing a white robe!
At this moment, she was clasping her hands together, standing on the altar, silently praying to the statues of the elves and gods in front of her.
After Li Si approached, she put down her hands, turned around and looked at Li Si with a smile, and said softly:
"Welcome to the land of elves, Sage Li Si!"
"Nice to see you again, Your Excellency the Great Sage!"
Li Si said to Adai in a respectful tone Ra said.
Adela slowly walked down the altar, and Li Si felt that the great sage seemed to have a more divine charm in this temple.
"What do you think of this place?" Adela asked Li Si softly, her pleasant voice echoing in the temple.
"Sacred and awe-inspiring, are these the elves and gods in front of you?"
Li Si nodded slightly and asked, looking at the many tall statues of gods in front of him.
“That’s it.”
Adela walked to Li Si and said softly:
"This temple was built for Lord Corellon by the elves after he ascended the throne."
"It is also the first temple of the elves, the Great Temple of Tyrion!"
"After that, many elves also became gods under the guidance of Lord Corellon, and there were more and more statues of gods here."
Although Adela's tone was dull, Li Si could still feel it. See the admiration and pride hidden in it.
“Can you spot anything different here?”
Adela looked at Li Si and asked with a smile,
"Different places?"
Li Si was a little confused, did he refer to the statues in front of him?
For some reason, Li Si felt that although the great elf sage believed in these gods, he did not give Li Si a firm feeling like a fanatic.
It is more like a pure faith under the control of reason.
Li Si looked at the many statues in front of him. Because he was not sure whether they would offend taboos, he did not observe these statues carefully. Instead, he glanced at them and looked away.
Looking over now under Adela's guidance, I quickly discovered something was wrong.
Among the many statues behind the altar, most of them have a sacred radiance, which is the embodiment of the divine power of the gods.
But similarly, there are several statues that do not have this sacred brilliance at all. After losing their luster, the statues are like old people with vicissitudes of life, showing mottled traces of time.
It seemed as if it had lost all life, completely turning into a dead thing.
Why is this happening?
Li Si focused his attention on those statues, and soon he realized something.
“Those statues of gods, do they mean that those gods have fallen?”
Li Si asked Adela in a low voice.
“Yeah.”
Adela nodded slightly, sighed and said:
"Although as long as the faith is still there and the believers are still there, there is still the possibility of the gods being resurrected, but these gods have passed away for countless years and may never be revived again. I can’t wake up.”
“Is that so?”
Li Si was also quite emotional.
Although becoming a god means you have eternal life, it does not mean that the god will not die.
Over countless years in the world of Gaia, countless gods have disappeared. The declining kingdom of gods and damaged artifacts represent that even powerful gods may face death.
Even powerful divine beings may fall, let alone those relatively weak gods?
There are still countless mountains waiting for him to climb. Where are they now?
Don’t be complacent!
The fallen elves and gods in front of him sounded the alarm for Li Si!
Although Li Si has stood at the pinnacle of the gold level after experiencing what happened in the Elf King's Court, he is still far from being a god!
Step by step!
Li Si shook his head, then wondered why Adela said this to him.
Shouldn’t this be one of the most important secrets of the elves?
Even if he is the one blessed by the World Tree, there is absolutely no need to tell him these things?
Seemingly noticing Li Si's somewhat puzzled gaze, Adela said slowly:
"In the long years from the birth of World Tree to the present, we have witnessed many major events in the world of Gaia."
“The disappearance of the original gods, the rise of the faith gods, the invasion of the abyss demons, the panic of Ragnarok, etc.”
“Although many records have disappeared, we know very well that every new The arrival of an era will be accompanied by endless killing and danger. "You should already know that the world of Gaia is ushering in a new era."
Adela looked at Li Si and said word by word:
“And this wave of the times may be more turbulent and dangerous than anything we have experienced before. Even the gods cannot see clearly what the future will be like. ”
Li Si didn’t say anything more, but listened quietly to Adela’s words.
No one knows these things better than him, how many dangers and difficulties there will be in the future!
“Even with the protection of the gods, it is impossible for the elves to survive this crisis unscathed.”
"The destruction of the Elven Court and the pollution of the World Tree make me feel that this time we may face more severe dangers and disasters than before."
"We offer our tribute to the gods. Faith, pray for their protection.”
“At the same time, we must also work hard to make changes and protect our homeland.”
“So, what do you mean?”
Li Si looked at Adela with a little surprise.
Is he worthy of being a great elf sage?
Although Adela was aware of the danger coming from Li Si's previous reminder, as a wise person, she did not place all her trust in the gods.
This is very different from those believers who only know how to pray to gods.
She clearly understands that the gods also have their limitations. In the world of Gaia, no race can survive completely relying on the protection of the gods.
What’s more important is to master the power to protect yourself!
"Of course, it is to master stronger power and have the ability to protect the entire elves!"
Adela's expression showed a trace of determination.
“For this reason, I will seize any possible opportunity!”
Adela looked at Li Si and said softly:
“So, Li Si”
"Do you want to ascend the throne of God and become a god?"
