Chapter 347 Clues in the North

Right at the moment the Life link was lit and connected with the Nature link on the Orbit of the Great World, the sky above the giant canopy of the new World Tree suddenly flashed a brilliant golden light.

That was a direct response from Heavenly Dao’s origin rule!

When the first two links of the world Orbit started operating smoothly again, the grayish-black underground vein network that the God of Decay used to suppress the Southeastern and Northeastern regions of the continent immediately broke losing a large patch. Three pillars of pure rule light from the cloud layer shone straight down onto Kaelen, Sane, and Finnick.

In Kaelen and Sane’s bodies, the invisible chains tightly locking their original souls continued emitting a string of crisp snapping sounds. The strength seal on both husbands simultaneously loosened another large layer, from two-tenths leaping up touching the four-tenths threshold!

While the person receiving the biggest benefit in this link-clearing time was naturally Finnick. As the master directly holding the Life rule, plus having just personally recreated the new World Tree, the released origin power amount in Finnick’s body skyrocketed up to a full five-tenths!

The jade green halo around Finnick completely withdrew inside his flesh and skin. The Great World’s repelling force having always waited to force him to regress to a small beast form to save energy up to this moment had completely disappeared!

Finnick looked down at his slender long firm hands, tried clenching them then releasing them, on his cold handsome face rarely exposing a sigh of relief appearance:

"Finally stabilized completely the human form already. From now on no need to transform back to the leopard cub form anymore."

Chloe flew circling around Finnick’s head two rounds then gently landed on his shoulder, giggling:

"Congratulations Master! But Master’s leopard cub form when having feet wiped by Papa Kaelen looked also very adorable you know!"

Finnick hearing Chloe re-mention the embarrassing matter the other night at Silverport then his ear rims turned slightly hot, using one finger pressing lightly on the little girl’s head to warn her to shut her mouth.

However Kaelen standing beside looking at his third son over one meter eighty-eight tall standing towering before him then actually showed an extremely regretful appearance. He sighed once, reaching his hand patting lightly onto Finnick’s shoulder as high as Sane’s, smacking his lips saying:

"Recovering so fast doing what I don’t know. Papa only managed to carry you for a few days, not even having time to touch the fleshy pads satisfying my hands then you already grew up so big like this again. Truly children growing up are no longer as adorable as when little anymore."

Finnick: "..."

Completely contrary to Kaelen’s regret, Sane standing beside actually felt extremely refreshed. He stepped up, very naturally wrapping his firm arm around Kaelen’s waist pulling him close toward himself, simultaneously throwing the third son an extremely satisfied glance:

"Like this is correct you see. Grown men all already, all day turning into a fluffball lounging on my wife’s shoulder and on his lap how is it acceptable. Now recovering two long legs already then walk by yourself, forbidden from approaching near demanding to be carried anymore you hear."

Finnick looked at his biological father’s petty face and was speechless, only managing to silently turn his face away pretending not to hear.

Right at this moment, from the forest road leading toward Moon Lake three miles away, a delegation of over five hundred Elf clan people led by Sylphie, Eldrin and the girl Ivy hurriedly ran arriving at the place.

When just stepping out of the forest edge and seeing the depression area having been overflowing with dry bones and toxic mud throughout a hundred years past now had turned into a lush green grass carpet spread full of fragrant flowers, while right in the middle was the trunk of the new World Tree over one thousand two hundred meters tall currently radiating warm yellow-green light covering shading the sky, the entire over five hundred Elf people all stood stunned rooted to the spot.

Sylphie and Eldrin tilted their necks looking up at the immense jade green canopy currently rustling in the afternoon wind, tears once again streaming profusely down the faces of the two people who had shouldered the tribe’s destiny throughout the darkest century:

"World Tree... Our World Tree truly came alive again!"

"The Eternal Forest has returned to us already!"

Over five hundred old people, women and children of the Elf clan hugged each other crying loudly amidst the green grass carpet, after that simultaneously knelt dropping down under the World Tree base to offer the most reverent words of thanks to the three people Kaelen, Sane, and Finnick.

When looking up toward Finnick with eyes overflowing with reverence, everyone in the Elf clan suddenly realized on his shoulder at this moment there was an extremely miraculous living being.

That was exactly Chloe having transformed into a miniature flower elf form, size only as tiny as an oriole bird. On top of the little girl’s head there was a lush green small leaf, blazing red hair flowing down the dress woven from bright red flower petals, behind her back was a pair of transparent red wings currently trembling slightly under the sunlight piercing through the World Tree canopy.

To the Elf clan originally worshiping nature, the presence of a high-level flower elf walking beside Finnick even more made his image become holy beyond compare!

Finnick stepped up before the clan member crowd, swung his right hand up. Eighteen green light streams from under the taproot clump of the new World Tree flew out, falling down onto eighteen giant ancient oak trees lying surrounding the edge of the depression area. Under Finnick’s blessing, those eighteen oak trees quickly transformed their shapes, combining with the eighteen purified Wood Elf Elder souls creating eighteen new guarding Treants over twenty meters tall, their whole bodies covered full of brilliantly bright green leaves and white flowers, respectfully bowing their heads welcoming the Elf clan members returning home!

"Sylphie, Eldrin." Finnick looked at the two current leaders of the tribe, his deep voice ringing out: "The World Tree has resurrected, the eighteen Wood Elf Elders also have had new physical bodies again to help you protect this forest. Tomorrow you two dispatch people going along with us returning to Silverport to welcome the entire two thousand clan members having just been rescued at Auction Island returning to the Eternal Forest reuniting."

"We obey the Lord’s order!" Sylphie and Eldrin kowtowed accepting the order.

However, Kaelen standing beside had stepped up adding one important condition:

"There is one matter I must instruct in advance with you two. The reason a hundred years ago the Elf clan was easily isolated by the Church of Light and the Merchant Boss Council of Silverport then slandered turning into monsters to be hunted, a very large part was because throughout the past several thousand years you guys always closed tightly the forest doors, automatically isolating yourselves from the development of other races on the continent."

Sylphie and Eldrin hearing that both bowed their heads ashamedly, not daring to argue half a word.

"From today onward, the Eternal Forest is not permitted to close doors automatically isolating yourselves anymore." Kaelen loudly said, his eyes looking straight at Sylphie, Eldrin and the girl Ivy: "The Elf clan will officially sign an alliance treaty with Lyra city, Cathalan Kingdom and the new Silverport. Next month, Lyra City Hall will dispatch people of the Department of Education and the technical team over here helping you guys open schools, install communication broadcasting stations and open a fixed trade route connecting from the forest edge out to Silverport. You guys have the advantage of growing medicinal herbs and natural magic, completely can bring medicinal herbs exchanging for iron tools, fabrics and food straightforwardly under the protection of the Lyra Covenant!"

Mr. Eldrin hearing finishing those teaching words then his two eyes lit up brightly, wholeheartedly convinced bowing low down:

"Your teaching words are completely profoundly reasonable! We beg to engrave on our bones memory in our hearts, absolutely never walking into the fallen cart rut automatically isolating ourselves like before anymore!"

Finishing resolving the future orientation matter for the Elf clan, Kaelen returned to the base of the new World Tree to together with Sane and Finnick inspect the earth vein system of the entire Northeastern region after having cut off the Mother Worm tumor.

Kaelen squatted down, placing his right palm onto a giant taproot of the World Tree currently piercing deep into the ground, closing his eyes sensing the energy flow underneath the continent. The earth vein running toward the South connecting with Lyra city and Cathalan Royal Capital at this time was completely cleared entirely, natural energy flowing smoothly like a large river. The earth vein branch running straight out to the Eastern coastline to the seven autonomous port cities had also begun recovering vitality after the den at Silverport was cleaned up.

However, when Kaelen’s spiritual energy traced following the third large earth vein branch running upstream toward the Northwest direction, where the giant snowy mountain range separating from the territory of the Three Northern Kingdoms was located, his delicate eyebrows suddenly knitted tightly!

"What matter is it baby?" Sane standing right beside seeing his complexion change immediately bent down asking.

Kaelen opened his eyes, withdrawing his hand from the tree root then pointed toward the distant snowy mountain range in the North:

"Sane, Finnick, the earth vein branch running from here up to the North passing past the snowy mountain range is being completely blocked. But the thing blocking it this time is not the blood-sucking parasitic insect crowd like here..." Kaelen paused for one beat, looking straight into Sane’s purple eyes: "But an extremely massive killing intent, bloody smell and crazy battle intent stream currently pressing heavily on the entire mountain vein in the North! That aura stream carries your War origin, but actually is mixed with the foul energy of the God of Decay!"

Hearing about the War origin being mixed with the God of Decay’s energy, Sane’s eyes immediately turned freezing cold. He closed his eyes, using exactly four-tenths of origin War Divine Energy having just been recovered to sense toward the direction of the Northern snowy mountain range. Just three seconds later, Sane opened his eyes wide, tiny Purple Lightning streaks crackling around his purple hair:

"I sensed it already. On the other side of the snowy mountain range, right at the border region intersecting between the Three Northern Kingdoms there is a fragment from my origin battle halberd having been broken in the origin soul self-destruction battle ten thousand years ago!"

Finnick standing beside immediately understood the problem:

"Exactly identical to the matter of the divine bone pieces being infected by demonic aura making the Black Bear clan go crazy in the Beastman Continent in the past huh?! The God of Decay found Daddy’s battle halberd fragment fallen in the North, then used evil aura polluting that fragment to instigate crazy war between the three kingdoms throughout how many years past!"

"Definitely is like that." Sane sneered coldly, his fist clenching tightly cracking: "No wonder the other day Godfrey said on the other side of the mountain range there are three dirt-poor kingdoms yet every day drag troops out hacking killing each other just to fight for a river. Turned out that stinking worm is using exactly my origin weapon piece to turn all three Northern kingdoms into a giant slaughterhouse, both providing war resentment aura for it, and simultaneously dirtying my War link!"

Kaelen stood up, lightly dusting the dirt on his shirt flap, his eyes firmly looking at the father and son:

"Then our next target is clear already. Tomorrow we return to Silverport welcoming two thousand Elves back to the forest first, conveniently checking how the situation of subduing the seven East coast cities is, after that immediately hit the road crossing the Northern snowy mountain range to demand back your battle halberd fragment!"
