Chapter 514: Chapter 309: Bustard, Let Go of That Little Lolita... Little Fox, Let Me Come In! (6.4k)_4There are two ways to be recognized by the Origin of Emerald.

    The first is to formally ascend the throne with perfect rites, and the power of the Origin will accompany the crowning with the crown.

    The second is subject to Its mood, and if one day It takes a liking to a down-and-out ordinary Elf, perhaps It will grant a portion of Its power, after which, for that Elf, the difference in caste and status would be as if heaven and earth had turned upside down.

    Legend has it that someone who hunted a Variant Elf received the Divine Tree’s blessing in a dream, which is why so many Elves are passionate about hunting Variant kin to offer to the Mother Tree.

    Lisiti, as one of the daughters of the last generation’s Elf Emperor, although she had not been crowned, was fortunate enough to receive a portion of the Origin’s power, and even the power she wielded, under normal circumstances, was only slightly less than that of Kureya, the current Empress.

    Kureya narrowed her eyes as she looked at her half-sister mothered by a different woman.

    "Are you still holding a grudge against me for what I did to Ilisha?"

    Lisiti remained silent.

    Kureya said in a deep voice, "I need to remind you again, it’s been more than ten years since you let that bastard go, my patience has its limits, don’t continue to be at odds with me over a mongrel, wasting your talent. With your abilities, you’re more than capable of governing a Guard City!"

    In a soft voice, Lisiti said, "Ilisha is not a mongrel."

    "She is a mongrel birthed by you and some unknown man!"

    "She is not!"

    Lisiti stood up from her vine chair, a sharp fierceness seeping into her gaze, all the plants in the small courtyard began to grow silently and wildly at this moment.

    Kureya naturally sensed the abnormality in the small courtyard.

    Her voice was cool as she said, "Are you sure you want to take action against me, my dear sister?"

    Lisiti’s body stiffened.

    The growth of all plants reversed instantly, and the courtyard returned to calm.

    Kureya, with her eyes cast down, said, "The Mother Tree’s Origin has informed me that, three thousand eight hundred kilometers away from the royal city, a second Origin Disaster, the prelude to the Flood Disaster Waterlit, has appeared in Ismure Territory; Ismure Territory was destroyed, you should know what that means."

    Lisiti’s expression changed, shocked she said, "You mean Ismure Territory? The prelude to the Flood Disaster destroyed the city? Impossible, the prelude at most... wait, could it be from the inside..."

    "You guessed it right."

    Kureya’s lips curled into a ruthless smile, "That Count Ismure was so sympathetic to the Variants, not even setting up city walls, who knows how many ill-intentioned things have mixed in over the years, and for the Flood Disaster to appear internally and engulf the city, I suspect it’s the Disaster Church’s doing."

    "Disaster, Truth, Fallen Beings, as well as those shadow merchants who fear not the chaos in the world, the times really are becoming messier, even here in Emerald City, I am not sure I can control the whole situation. Lisiti, I need your help."

    This time, Kureya was serious. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Lisiti was silent for a long time.

    Suddenly she asked, "Why did you execute Sasha back then?"

    Kureya bluntly said, "A princess with such a strong Elf Royal Family bloodline turns out to be a lowly Variant—you don’t think that would make our Royal Family a laughingstock to everyone if the word got out?"

    "Of course, as my niece, I didn’t really intend to kill her. Do you think you could have sent Ilisha away back then without my tacit consent? I intended to give you a decade or so, to let you sort things out on your own but didn’t expect your hatred towards me to run so deep."

    A look of ’so it is’ appeared on Lisiti’s beautiful face.

    If Kureya had intended to stop her from using the Divine Tree’s power to transfer Sasha, she would never have succeeded.

    Before their father’s death, she indeed received more attention from the Mother Tree than Kureya had, but Kureya, after being crowned as the Elf Emperor, had surpassed her. If Kureya got serious, she might even strip away the power that was granted to her.

    If it hadn’t been for Sasha’s affair and the path her father laid out before his death, she would have been the reigning Elf Emperor...

    A moment later, Lisiti plucked that thought from her mind.

    Even so, she had never regretted it.

    "I can work for you."

    Lisiti stared at Kureya, saying, "Ismure is destroyed, so that leaves a major city’s control up for grabs, I hope I can take that place when the time comes."

    "That’s fine," Kureya said. "So, you’ll use the spell to check on the situation over there. Since Ismure was destroyed, the nearby root systems were also destroyed, making it impossible from here to see the image. People nearby are too scared to go have a look."

    In all of the Elf Royal Family, only Lisiti mastered the Tier Five exclusive spell called ’Trace Vision,’ and as long as she had been somewhere before, she could see the image and project it, no matter the distance.

    To be able to manage the situation in various towns, Lisiti traveled throughout the entire Emerald Forest in the past.

    This was the real reason why Kureya hoped her sister would come back to help.

    However, as soon as Lisiti used the spell to project the image, both of them held their breath for a moment.

    In the image, a terrifying black tidal wave engulfed what used to be Ismure Territory - the city once known as the Land of White Flowers was completely erased from history.

    Kureya, with keen eyes, spotted a spot in the image.

    It seemed someone was down there...

    "What is that?"
