Chapter 706 - 704: Rose: Catch the Pot

Hilia was also watching.

A mirror appeared in the air, and within it was the group led by the Elf King, watching the exchange between the Elf King and Ze Lishalin.

Hilia didn’t know how Rose managed it; it seemed that Rose’s abilities were increasing.

But considering that Rose was a god, seemingly the strongest and most versatile one, Hilia felt reassured.

If a god couldn’t even do that, what kind of god would he be?

Though I wonder if it was possible before...

Rose glanced at Hilia, sensing the little schemes inside her mind, and smiled, "If you hadn’t walked through the entire Elf Race, I wouldn’t have been able to do this."

"Really? I don’t believe it."

Hilia said she didn’t believe it, but her face was filled with a happy smile.

Rose’s words made her very happy.

Watching the Elf King leave, Hilia asked, "Does the Elf Royal Court not know the source of the calamity is the Recovery Temple?"

"They’ve noticed, but the relationship between the two is unusual. At this stage, it’s not enough to break ties."

"But looking at the Elf King’s attitude, it seems they were completely unaware before... I suspect it was the people from the Phoenix Kingdom who warned them."

Is the Elf Race’s investigative ability really that weak?

Hilia thought to herself.

The Recovery Temple didn’t just release pollution now; it started five hundred years ago. Despite such a long period, the Elf Race hadn’t discovered the details until a massive outbreak created a huge fissure, revealing a gigantic array underground.

Hmm...

Hilia suddenly thought.

Besides the Elf Forest, do other empires have similar arrays?

She posed this question to Rose, who replied, "Maybe so, you will know when you travel more in the future."

"Good!"

Hilia nodded.

Cultivation isn’t just about meditating and training hard; it requires experience and increasing knowledge, which is why Rose often tells her to go outside.

Meditating and training hard at school doesn’t easily lead to insights.

Especially after reaching Tier Four, the connection to the Divine Realm becomes hazy and is no longer as straightforward as before.

"By the way... Why did Lord Rose decide to monitor them suddenly?"

Hilia looked at Rose.

"Because I want to find the ’Evil God’ from Haroldias’s words."

Rose explained casually, then added, "After this, you probably don’t need to go to the Elf Forest anymore. I’m not very clear about the ’Evil God’, and you might die if you’re not careful."

"Can Lord Rose already act independently of me?" Hilia asked.

For some reason, she felt a bit lost.

"Not exactly, but I have other ways to interfere in the Elf Forest. All thanks to your earlier work."

Hilia blinked, somewhat confused.

Did I do so many things just by walking around?

At this moment, Rose tapped the mirror and switched the scene from the Elf King’s group to Ze Lishalin’s side.

Only to see that after sending off the Elf King’s group, Ze Lishalin welcomed an unexpected guest.

"Who are you?"

Ze Lishalin looked at the mysterious figure who suddenly arrived in the Recovery Temple, wearing a red hood, with a magic puppet appearing quietly beside her.

"It’s me."

The mysterious figure raised his head and removed the hood.

"It’s you! You dare come back?!"

Ze Lishalin’s aura suddenly exploded because beneath the hood was the face of Guit, the Tier Seven Sword Master from Phoenix Kingdom who had attacked the underground core before.

"Don’t be nervous. This time, I mean no harm."

However, Ze Lishalin didn’t want to say much to him, and the magic puppet had already rushed towards him.

"Since you’ve come, don’t think of leaving!"

"You’re not Tier Seven; you can’t stop me."

Guit didn’t summon any magic puppet nor draw a weapon. He just shook his body, and the charging magic puppet was immediately knocked back.

"If I were you, I’d stop attacking now and talk properly. Jelieya isn’t here right now; to me, you’re no different from any other Tier Six Mage."

Boom!

Another assault was blocked, and Ze Lishalin slowly calmed down. She looked at Guit and asked coldly, "What do you want to say?"

She also understood that she couldn’t stop a Tier Seven Mage.

"It seems you all have run into a problem."

"Why, are you also interested in that girl named Hilia?"

"No, we are only interested in the one behind you."

"There is no one behind us."

"Of course, because you all honor Him as... a god."

"How dare you disrespect the gods!"

Ze Lishalin flared up again and launched another attack.

This time, Guit didn’t hold back. He drew his greatsword, and with a single slash, Ze Lishalin’s magic puppet was cut in half.

"If you can’t have a proper discussion, calling Jelieya out works too. But to prevent you from joining forces, I need you to stay quiet for a bit. What do you think?"

A powerful aura emanated from Guit, and Ze Lishalin finally fully calmed down.

"Hmph, just wait, Lord God has already taken notice here. He won’t spare those who trample His domain lightly."

Guit didn’t care: "The so-called gods are just mages who happen to reach the end of the Ascension God Stairs. However, I didn’t come here today to debate gods and mortals with you. It seems your god has encountered some issues."

"What do you know?"

"I know nothing, except that you’ve broken that promise and chose to cooperate with Ashugar. This is the consequence of your collaboration. Of course, this is only one of the consequences.

"Remember that original promise? Now, you’ve broken the promise and hastily unsealed the seal, allowing pollution to ravage the world, trying to awaken your god prematurely, plunging the entire Elf Forest into disaster, almost affecting the Star Spirit Tree, which would then lead to a new calamity for the world.

"We won’t hold you accountable for your actions for now because you’ve already attracted the perception of that ’Evil God’. He won’t awaken, but His agents, His followers, will descend. Why do you think your god suddenly disappeared?"

Ze Lishalin stood with her mouth agape, unable to utter a single word.

The anxiety on her face was already impossible to conceal.

Watching the conversation between the two, Hilia couldn’t help but say, "They’re blaming the disappearance of the God of Life and Death on that ’Evil God’..."

Saying this, Hilia looked toward Rose, deep in thought: "It seems they’re right. The disappearance of the god is indeed related to the Evil God. Lord Evil God, I wonder what the current situation of that god is?"

Haroldias’s words had struck a great blow to Hilia’s young mind, but she had already put down her burden by now.

Rose raised a hand and touched the air, bringing up another mirror. Within it was an image of Haroldias, who had just been beaten by Rose again and was now facing a wall and meditating with eyes closed.

"He’s fine. I have him accompanying me in the Sealed Land."

Hilia couldn’t shake the feeling that Haroldias’s condition wasn’t very good.
