Chapter 496 Do You Want to Become a God?
Li Si's gaze did not stay on the elf village above his head for too long, and soon shifted to the direction he was heading.
He could feel that as he continued to go deeper into the dense forest in front of him, the divine power in the air became more and more intense.
There was no trace of the elf village around, and animals could 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 to Li Si and Daphne, but just looked at them curiously for a few more times.
The two of them were walking on a forest path, with bluestone paved on the ground. After countless years, the surface of the stone slabs was completely polished and became round and smooth.
The quiet atmosphere permeated the forest. Although Li Si was a little curious about where to go, he did not take the initiative to ask Daphne.
It felt good to walk on the forest path. The rich breath of life in the forest made Li Si feel much more relaxed.
Not long after, Li Si's dense forest separated in front of Li Si, and he suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.
Deep in this dense forest, there stands an amazing gray rock palace.
The walls of the palace are made of huge gray rocks, and you can still vaguely see the rough grinding marks, as if telling its long history and vicissitudes of the past. These rocks are not simply piled up, but carefully carved and spliced to form a rough and unique beauty.
On the walls of the palace, the rough patterns faintly reveal the shadows of various patterns of elves today, which are intertwined to form a mysterious and ancient pattern.
When the sun penetrates the treetops and sprinkles on this gray rock palace, the whole palace exudes a faint white glow. This glow is not dazzling, but gives people a warm and sacred feeling, with a faint sense of sublimity like a god.
The forest around the palace adds a bit of solemnity and solemnity to this mysterious palace.
The 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 this palace.
The giant trees on the edge of the forest leaned slightly, and the branches and leaves swayed gently, as if they were respectfully saluting the palace and paying high respect to this mysterious palace.
Li Si looked at the sacred palace in front of him, and the sacred feeling surrounded every place in the palace, making people involuntarily feel awe.
This place gave him a much more sacred and solemn feeling than any god's church he had seen before.
Including the Elf Temple in the Emerald City and the Morning Cathedral in the Brilliant Light City.
"That's it."
Daphne said softly, and then walked towards the gray palace.
Li Si paused slightly, and then followed Daphne.
The closer he got to the palace, Li Si seemed to have a feeling of facing the power of the gods, as if he was looking up at the gods sitting in the sky, and he felt more and more insignificant.
Could this palace be built by the elves countless years ago to worship the elf gods?
Li Si pondered silently in his heart, if this is true, then the time that this palace has experienced may be measured in tens of thousands of years.
It can be seen that this should be the most core and key place in the Elfland Tyrion.
Although the Elfland Tyrion also belongs to the Elf Kingdom, it is more like a direct subordinate of the Elf Gods who is alone outside.
The moon elves living here worship the Elf Gods, inherit and guide and maintain the faith of the Elf Gods.
For the Elf Gods, the importance of the Elfland is no less than that of the Elf Kingdom.
Why bring him here?
Li Si was a little curious. Even if he trusted him, he shouldn't bring him to such an important place when he first came to the Elfland, right?
Is it because of the Elf Great Sage?
Li Si thought of someone in his heart. The Great Sage Adela showed closeness to him when they first met, and also gave him considerable help in the formation of [Nature's Wrath].
This even exceeded the level of goodwill.
And the other party's only request was to let him come to the Elfland.
It seems that we will know why soon?
Li Si once again looked at the sacred palace in front of him, and followed Daphne forward.
When he arrived in front of the palace, Li Si realized 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 of the palace that was 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 the dull and low sound sounded like a welcoming horn.
"Li Si, just go in."
"Sage Adela is waiting for you inside."
Daphne turned around and said solemnly, returning to her dignified appearance.
However, her lively eyes flashed with the joy of a young girl, and she whispered:
"Come find me after it's over!"
"There are many interesting places in the land of elves, I'll take you to see them!"
"Okay."
Li Si smiled and nodded to Daphne, then strode into the palace.
As Li Si entered the palace, the heavy door slowly closed, but the sunlight from above made the interior of the palace not dim.
As soon as you step into the interior of this gray rock palace, you can feel an ancient and profound power permeating in the air.
On the walls on both sides of the palace, there are intricate and exquisite patterns carved, which tell the myths and legends of the elves. These patterns seem to have life and sway gently under the faint light, leading people's eyes to go deep into every corner of the palace, making people seem to travel through time and space and return to the glorious history of the elves.
In the palace, many statues stand quietly in the scattered sunlight. Although their faces are hazy, their postures are majestic, kind, or heroic. Each statue is lifelike, as if it will wake up from sleep at any time.
These statues are shining with sacred light, which is the power of the elf gods, and the protection and blessing given by the gods.
Under the shining of this light, 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 elves, there is an altar carved from white jade, towering and solemn, as if it is the heart of the palace.
The altar is covered with ancient elves' words, which are twisted and mysterious, carrying the wisdom and secrets of the elves. These words seem to have magic, attracting people's attention, and making people want to interpret the mysteries involuntarily.
A faint fragrance permeates the palace, making people feel relaxed and happy, as if all the troubles have disappeared at this moment, mixed with the sacred feeling brought by the power of faith, making people feel awe of the elves from the bottom of their hearts, and feel the sacredness 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 that there was a figure standing on the altar in the center of the palace.
It was the great elf sage Adela in a white robe!
At this moment, she was standing on the altar with her hands folded, silently praying to the statues of the elves in front of her.
When 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!"
"It's great to see you again, Your Excellency the Great Sage!"
Li Si said to Adela in a respectful tone.
Adela slowly walked down the altar, and Li Si felt that the great sage seemed to have a little more divine charm in this temple.
"What do you think of this place?"
Adela asked Li Si softly, and the pleasant voice echoed in the temple.
"Sacred, awe, are these the elves and gods in front of you?"
Li Si nodded slightly, looking at the many tall statues in front of him and asked.
"That's right."
Adela walked to Li Si and whispered:
"This temple was built by the elves for Lord Corellon 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 the statues here have increased."
Although Adela's tone was flat, Li Si could still feel the hidden admiration and pride in it.
"Can you find anything different here?"
Adela looked at Li Si and asked with a smile,
"Different places?"
Li Si was a little confused. Did he mean the statues in front of him?
For some reason, Li Si felt that although this great elven sage believed in these gods, he did not give Li Si a firm feeling like a fanatic.
It was more like a pure belief under the control of reason.
Li Si looked at the many statues in front of him. Because he was not sure whether it would violate taboos before, he did not observe these statues carefully, but glanced at them quickly and looked away.
Now, under Adela's guidance, he quickly found something wrong.
Among the many statues behind the altar, most of them were covered with sacred light, which was the embodiment of the power of the gods.
But at the same time, there were also several statues that did not have this sacred light at all. The statues that lost their luster were like old men with mottled traces of time.
It seemed to have lost its vitality and turned into a dead object.
Why is this the case?
Li Si focused his attention on those statues, and soon he realized something.
"Those statues, do they represent 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, the gods may still be resurrected, but these gods have passed away for countless years and may never wake up again."
"Is that so?"
Li Si was also quite emotional.
Although becoming a god means having eternal life, it does not mean that gods will not die.
In the countless years of Gaia World, countless gods have disappeared. The declining kingdom of God and the damaged artifacts mean that even powerful gods may face the arrival of death.
Even powerful gods may fall, let alone those relatively weak gods?
There are still countless mountains waiting for him to climb. How far have he reached now?
Don't be proud and complacent!
The fallen elven gods in front of him sounded the alarm for Li Si!
Although Li Si has reached the peak of the Golden Stage after experiencing the events in the Elven King's Court, he is still far from being a god!
One step at a time!
Li Si shook his head, and then wondered why Adela told him this.
Shouldn't this be one of the most important secrets of the elves?
Even if he is a World Tree Blessed One, there is no need to tell him these things?
As if noticing Li Si's somewhat puzzled look, Adela slowly said:
"In the long years from the birth of the World Tree to the present, we have witnessed many major events in the Gaia world."
"The disappearance of the original gods, the rise of the gods of faith, the invasion of the abyss demons, the panic of the Ragnarok, etc."
"Although many records have disappeared, we know very well that the arrival of each new era will be accompanied by endless killing and danger."
"You should have known that the Gaia world is welcoming a new era wave."
Adela looked at Li Si and said word by word:
"And this era wave may be more turbulent and dangerous than all the previous ones. Even the gods can't see what the future will be like."
Li Si didn't say much, but listened quietly to Adela's words.
No one knows these things better than him. How many dangers and difficulties will there be in the future!
"Even with the protection of the gods, the elves can't survive this crisis unscathed."
"The destruction of the Elf King's Court and the pollution of the World Tree give me a feeling that this time we may face more severe dangers and disasters than before."
"We offer our faith to the gods and pray for their protection."
"At the same time, we must also work hard to make changes and protect our home."
"So, what do you mean?"
Li Si looked at Adela with a little surprise.
Is she worthy of being the great sage of the elves?
Although Adela realized the coming of danger from Li Si's previous reminder, as a wise man, she did not put all her hopes on the gods.
This is very different from those believers who only know how to pray to the gods.
She clearly understands that the gods also have their limitations. In the Gaia world, 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 a stronger power and have the ability to protect the entire elf race!"
A trace of firmness appeared in Adela's expression.
"For this, I will seize any possible opportunity!"
Adela looked at Li Si and said softly:
"So, Li Si"
"Do you want to ascend to the throne and become a god?"
