Chamo went from being excited at the beginning to feeling disappointed and worried. His mood could be described as going up and down, but he didn’t dare to say anything else.
Once the night became completely dark, he finally spoke and persuaded Xu Sili to stop.
“Your Majesty, you can rest for a while.”
Xu Sili put down the flute and looked back at him.
Chamo smiled with sincere gratitude in his eyes. “Looking at Asheng’s breathing, the situation should’ve stabilized. Her life probably isn’t in danger for the time being.”
“Your Majesty, thank you for what you have done for Asheng.”
Xu Sili pursed his lips. He was exhausted and frustrated. This made him feel a bit unmotivated.
The bedside table beside him was filled with small, empty blue bottles. They were all potions he used to replenish his magic power after the blue bar bottomed out.
However, after playing it so many times, there was still no movement from the seed of the Tree of Life. It was frustrating.
“Your Majesty.” Si Sheng on the side wanted to say something.
Xu Sili sighed. He reached out to touch the top of Asheng’s head and nodded. He said, “I’ll come back tomorrow.”
He couldn’t play his best music in his current state. He really needed to take a break.
Just then, there was movement outside the room.
At this moment, there was movement outside the room.
He saw Silin pushing Xenos in the wheelchair and walking in from outside. Xu Sili was startled. He hurriedly walked over and asked, “Brother, Sister, what happened?”
“It’s nothing. Don’t worry.” Silin comforted him. “We saw that you didn’t come for dinner. We found out you were here after asking someone, so we came over to take a look.”
“Shadow Chaser has already explained it to us.”
She looked at the little girl on the bed and asked, “How is Asheng doing now?”
Silin had met Asheng before. After knowing that it was because of her reminder that Xenos was able to return, Silin was grateful to Asheng.
During this period of resisting the beast wave, she always took time to come back and see Asheng with Xenos. She quickly learned about Asheng’s coma.
At this time, Xenos also frowned and said, “I have performed the water healing spell on her several times, but it didn’t work.”
Seeing the worried looks of the two people, Xu Sili sighed again and explained the situation to them.
“The Sprouting technique that could make Xiao Wu awaken his consciousness has no effect on Asheng?” Xenos murmured.
Then his eyes fell on the flower pots on the windowsill and the grass outside the window. Since Xu Sili had been playing all day, these plants had grown more or less.
They were well taken care of originally, but now they were growing even more impressively. Some were even as high as a person’s thigh.
Xenos thought of something. He looked at Xu Sili and suggested, “Your Majesty, do you think it is related to the environment?”
“Environment?”
Xu Sili blinked.
At this time, Si Sheng also said softly, “Maybe it is because the concentration of wood and water elements isn’t enough.”
Xu Sili couldn’t help looking at him.
Si Sheng said, “You can try closing your eyes and taking a look at it from a spiritual perspective.”
This was just what Si Sheng wanted to tell him.
Hearing this, Xu Sili hurriedly extended his spiritual power and then…
He was overwhelmed by the sound elements.
The whole room was filled with purple sound elements, which were as rich as an ocean of sound elements. The elements of other colors were squeezed out of existence, leaving only a painful small amount.
Among them, the blue water element and green wood element were the majority.
Xu Sili couldn’t help his eyes widening.
Was it because the sound elements took up the space of other elements?
For seeds to germinate, in addition to their own nutrients, the water and wood elements were the most critical. Without these two elements, it would be strange if the seed of the Tree of Life could germinate!
“Then…” Xu Sili looked at Si Sheng.
Si Sheng nodded. “Let’s go to the field tomorrow.”
The Tree of Life was the foundation of the elf tribe and wasn’t suitable for taking root in Imperial City.
“Okay! I’ll try it in the wilderness tomorrow.”
He had been depressed because he couldn’t find the crux of the problem. Unexpectedly, he suddenly became enlightened.
Next to him, Chamo’s hope was rekindled.
The question of where they should attempt it was discussed. After finally settling on a location, they went off to make preparations.
Early the next morning, Xu Sili and the others came to Joan’s bedroom again to find Chamo already waiting at the door with little Asheng in his arms. Standing beside him was Silin.
So together, they left Imperial City on a shuttle and headed in the direction of the Asmo Mountains.
Since his legs and feet still weren’t very flexible, Xenos didn’t follow. However, there was Silin as his mouthpiece and he didn’t have to worry too much.
The Asmo Mountains were chosen because most of the interstellar beasts had been cleared away and the terrain was complex and sparsely populated, making it more suitable for elves to live in seclusion.
The most critical point was that the Asmo Mountains were densely covered with vegetation. The three elements of water, earth and wood were the most concentrated. This should be able to meet the requirements for the Tree of Life to sprout.
Once the Tree of Life took root, a new elven land would be formed around it. In order to avoid being cleaned up by players, Xu Sili specially chose a canyon away from the Asmo trial.
There happened to be a pool formed by a mountain spring in the canyon. The vegetation was relatively intact and hadn’t been damaged too much by interstellar beasts.
After clearing away the interstellar beasts in the canyon, Xu Sili threw down a few cards at the entrance of the canyon.
Under the overlap of various formations, the entrance to the canyon was completely hidden. He finished these simple arrangements and started to play Sprouting.
Asheng was placed on the grass by Asheng. Her hands were still tightly holding the seed. It was as if even death couldn’t make her let it go.
This time, while playing, Xu Sili paid attention to using his spiritual power to observe the changes in the surrounding elements.
The sound element became active first.
They danced around little Asheng and around the seed, as if saying to it, ‘Wake up, wake up. Come and play with us!’
After playing it for the third time, Xu Sili finally discovered a change.
The seed that had been motionless suddenly released a few green light spots. They were clearly the wood element.
Immediately afterward, the wood elements in the canyon came alive.
They gathered in their direction, squeezing and squeezing. Finally, they squeezed through the surrounding circle of sound elements and landed on the seed.
Xu Sili was worried that the sound element was too strong, so he quickly stopped playing. As a result, when the song stopped…
The seed became still again?
He couldn’t help being speechless. What type of lazy guy was this? It needed to be dragged around to wake up, right?
Xu Sili had to start playing again.
With the call of the sound element, the seed that had become silent finally started to move again.
First, the lively wood element squeezed into the encirclement. Then it was the water element’s turn. Unfortunately, the water element seemed a bit tepid and couldn’t squeeze inside after a long time.
Xu Sili observed carefully. Finally, he sent out a ray of spiritual power. He carefully pushed the sound element away, allowing the water element to enter the center.
He never thought that awakening a seed would be such a delicate task. It posed a severe challenge to his spiritual strength.
He also didn’t expect that this process would last for another day. Fortunately, just as he was about to lose control, a dark golden energy carefully joined in.
The familiar aura made him, who was already dizzy, unable to resist at all.
Finally, at dawn the next day and as the first ray of sunlight broke through the sky, Asheng’s hands that had been holding the seed tightly suddenly relaxed.
The fist-sized seed fell gently onto the grass with a crack in its hard shell.
The grass surrounding the seed started to wither rapidly. It eventually spread to all vegetation in the canyon around the seed.
At this time, Xu Sili’s control was no longer needed.
The seed of the Tree of Life spontaneously started to absorb all the elements needed for its growth and development. The speed was getting faster and faster.
Xu Sili felt as if he was in a vortex of elements. It was as if he would be sucked away at any minute.
The first one to feel unwell was Silin.
She felt the moisture in her body drain rapidly. This caused her to feel uneasy. She was about to alert the others when a curtain of light hung over her.
The rapid loss of water suddenly stopped.
She raised her head in a slightly dazed manner. She saw that a light curtain also shrouded Chamo’s body. The young man standing in front had already been hugged by the blond-haired man.
Silin almost instantly guessed whose masterpiece this light curtain belonged to.
It was a subtle feeling.
She might’ve acknowledged Si Sheng’s strength as a marshal and had no objection to him being with her younger brother, but in fact, she always had a trace of distrust in her heart.
It was because she could feel the indifference in Si Sheng’s bones.
It was real. He had a true coldness that didn’t care about others. It was only when facing Snow that the emotions in his eyes would become stronger.
As the most powerful person, he truly had the qualifications and strength to ignore everything. However, this didn’t prevent Silin from feeling that he wasn’t a good person.
However, that idea changed at this moment.
Silin’s intuition told her that with Si Sheng’s true personality, he might not care about the life or death of her and Chamo at all. So the reason he took action to save them…
Silin looked at the silver-haired young man again.
It was probably because Snow cared about them, right?
He had to say that Silin’s intuition was very accurate.
Si Sheng did give them a protective shield for Xu Sili’s sake, but the main one protected was Silin.
It was because this seed of the Tree of Life seemed to have consciously avoided Xu Sili and Chamo. As for Si Sheng… it chose to avoid Si Sheng from the beginning because Si Sheng was too powerful.
Xu Sili didn’t know the danger, but when he saw the rapidly withering grass and trees in the canyon, he couldn’t help being happy.
Fortunately, the Tree of Life didn’t sprout in the palace. Otherwise, the entire palace would’ve been in danger! Just thinking of this scene made him feel uneasy.
Finally, under their eyes, the seed shattered completely. The well-developed root system quickly dug into the ground. Then it germinated and sprouted at a speed visible to the naked eye.
By the time it grew to over one meter high, the sapling finally stopped growing as if it had exhausted all its strength.
At the same time, a pale green vitality was released from the sapling.
Under the influence of this vitality, the withered vegetation in the canyon revived again. Green leaves grew and colorful flowers bloomed among the lush greenery.
Eventually, the bare canyon turned into a sea of flowers. Being in it felt like arriving in some paradise.
At the same time, the player Lan Xiaoyin, who was far away in Seizing Star City and struggling to find his fellow elves, also received a system reminder.
