CHAPTER 45: CHAPTER 45: ELF INHERITANCE! MYTH BEAST!

Under the guidance of Rone, Gu Xing crossed the Central Square of the Holy City.

He arrived at an ancient hall.

On the old stone floor, a teleportation array made of silver-white runes was emitting a faint light.

Rone stepped back slightly and bowed: "Master, it’s here!"

"Through here, you can enter the sanctuary of the Elf Race, also the birthplace of the Elf Clan."

Upon hearing Rone’s explanation, Gu Xing took a deep breath and stepped into the center of the array.

A flash of white light, and the next moment, his figure vanished.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in another world.

Gu Xing slowly opened his eyes, and the sight before him took his breath away.

A gigantic tree towering into the sky stood majestically, its thick trunk as grand as ancient mountains, the dry bark covered with the grooves of time.

Standing at the foot of the giant tree, Gu Xing felt as tiny as a speck of dust.

He instinctively reached out, his fingertips touching the rough bark.

Cold, dry!

Clearly, this giant tree had lost any signs of life.

"Master! Are you alright?!"

From the Beast Taming Space came Liu Li’s anxious call.

Upon entering this mysterious space, she was immediately forced back into the Beast Taming Space by an invisible force.

Gu Xing tried several times but could not summon Liu Li back, so he simply gave up.

"I’m fine."

After reassuring Liu Li, Gu Xing began to carefully examine the giant tree.

In this space.

There was nothing but this tree.

What is the inheritance of the Elf Race?!

Is it this tree?!

Just as Gu Xing was puzzled, a soft light suddenly appeared on the withered trunk.

The light gradually gathered, forming a graceful female apparition.

She had pointed elf ears, with long golden hair cascading like a waterfall, exuding a reassuring warmth.

But her emerald-like eyes were filled with indelible sorrow.

"A thousand years...," the apparition softly murmured, with the melancholy of time, "finally waited until!"

Instinctively, Gu Xing stepped back half a step, his gaze vigilant.

But soon, he realized that this might be the legendary Elf Queen.

Except...

Wasn’t she dead?

Perhaps sensing Gu Xing’s confusion, the apparition slowly spoke:

"Your guess is correct, I am the last queen of the Elf Race, who died a millennium ago."

"Now talking to you is nothing more than a shred of consciousness relying on the remains of the Tree of Life."

Gu Xing’s pupils contracted.

Consciousness?

To maintain a shred of consciousness for a thousand years, how terrifying must the Elf Queen’s power have been in life?

Even Monarch Level Guardian Beasts couldn’t preserve consciousness a thousand years after death.

Therefore, the Elf Queen must be beyond Monarch!

But suddenly his heart tightened.

Such a powerful being also fell in the war a millennium ago.

Then the strength of the Demon Race...

The Elf Empress’s green eyes seemed to penetrate Gu Xing’s thoughts.

"Don’t worry, the Demon Race of today is no longer what it once was. Besides..."

She paused meaningfully.

"The Human Race possesses the most unique talent potential, incomparable to other races."

To races in alternate spaces, the Human Race is like a BUG!

They can become Beast Masters, rallying various races!

And once reaching a certain level themselves, they possess significant combat ability!

As if they’re the darlings of the world!

Except...

It’s unknown why.

Until now, there has been no existence above Monarch Level from the Human Race.

Therefore, before her downfall, she set up an almost impossible trial to select human geniuses capable of "Ascension to Divinity."

In conversation with the Elf Queen, Gu Xing also grasped a corner of the iceberg of this world.

Now, the alternate space where everyone is located is more a battlefield than a world.

All races compete in it, vying for dominance.

The Demon Race is the common enemy of all races.

But ironically, strong races often disdain alliances with weaker ones.

The former Elf Race was arrogant, looking down upon other races, resulting in...

Paying a painful price.

The apparition gently shook her head, pulling back her drifting thoughts.

Fortunately, the Elf Race still has a final spark.

The apparition slightly reached out, a green light rising slowly from the base of the giant tree.

Accompanied by the sound of ancient bark cracking, a glowing passage gradually opened at the center of the trunk.

"Go," the apparition’s voice became ethereal, "May you treat her well..."

Before the final words were spoken, the apparition fully dissipated.

It had fulfilled its mission.

And Gu Xing, looking at the passage before him, didn’t hesitate and walked in directly.

If the Elf Race had hostile intentions towards him, they wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to lead him here.

Soon, he reached the end.

A natural spring less than two meters square appeared in his view, the spring water shimmering with a peculiar silver-white light.

Beside the spring, a small tree less than a person’s height grew tenaciously, crystal drops hung on its tender green leaves.

At the spring’s center, a green light cocoon formed from pure life energy quietly floated.

Through the semi-transparent cocoon wall, a small figure could be glimpsed curled up within...

Is this the Guardian Beast?!

When Gu Xing’s gaze fell on the green light cocoon in the spring, a data panel appeared before his eyes:

[Natural Spirit (Vera)]

[Talent: Myth One Star]

[Level: Awakening Tier Zero]

[Status: Asleep (Uncontractable)]

[Solution: Enter Beast Taming Holy Pool for awakening]

"Myth Level Talent?!"

Gu Xing gasped, his pupils contracting sharply.

Such a level of Guardian Beast, even in the entire history of humanity, no one has contracted.

He carefully observed the elf, finding strands of gray amid her long golden hair.

It seems the millennium seal has indeed affected her considerably.

"Beast Taming Holy Pool..."

Gu Xing murmured, a location flashing in his mind...

National Academy!

As the highest human academy, it indeed has the only Beast Taming Holy Pool.

Liu Li’s cultivation materials plus the Beast Taming Holy Pool.

Looks like...

He must visit the National Academy!

Gu Xing took a deep breath, feeling the Beast Taming Space within him.

Although he hasn’t yet broken through to Extraordinary, he’s already pre-constructed the Beast Taming Space.

Carefully, he extended his hand, attempting to bring the light cocoon into the Beast Taming Space.

Fortunately, no surprises.

If he couldn’t bring this little one into the Beast Taming Space, carrying a Myth Level Guardian Beast out would be too conspicuous.

Within the Beast Taming Space.

Seeing another Guardian Beast inside the Beast Taming Space, Liu Li paused.

But soon understood that this was her master’s second Guardian Beast.

Though she very much wanted to have her master all to herself, it was clearly an unrealistic wish.

Looking at the small figure wrapped in the green cocoon.

Liu Li slightly moved closer but could feel a faint pressure emanating from the green cocoon.

Liu Li’s expression changed slightly.

The newcomer seems to have quite a strong talent!

Her position as the first Guardian Beast is at risk!

Thinking of this.

Liu Li immediately felt a sense of urgency.

She must work even harder!

Outside the Beast Taming Space.

Gu Xing intended to leave.

But as he departed, his gaze fell on the spring.

[Spring of Life: Sacred object of the Elf Clan]

[Effect: Accelerates Guardian Beast growth, repairs damage]

"Good stuff!"

Gu Xing’s eyes lit up, immediately attempting to bring it into the Beast Taming Space.

With a ripple of space, the entire spring was indeed completely collected.

Then, his gaze turned to the small tree next to it.

"I’ve claimed the spring, might as well take the tree!"

Collect!
