Chapter 484 The Chosen One
Immediately, the starlight that had already entered the plague beast's body suddenly expanded.
Ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times, until the plague beasts are completely included.
Star Festival Rhapsody
Whoosh—
Suddenly, the plague beasts that had been unstoppable and rampaging just moments before vanished completely.
The dark golden, murky, pus-like sphere vanished completely, leaving not a trace, as if it had never existed.
The Sword Demons, who were still attacking, were all suspended in mid-air, at a loss, because they had no target.

"Did you succeed?" Xu Si's voice was a little unsteady, and even though he was wearing silver armor, his body fell directly from mid-air.
Overloading Star Festival is definitely not a pleasant experience.
Xu Si's consciousness blurred for a moment during the fall, but then reformed under the infusion of life affinity.
He felt as if he had been pulled back from the edge of an abyss by an invisible hand.
Warm energy surged from the depths of the heart, flowing through the body to every limb and bone, gradually clearing away the remaining dark golden spots.
Xu Si's body did not crash onto the cracked, grayish-white ground, but was gently lifted up by Wan Liuchun.
To be precise, he was held in place by the red rope on her feet, which prevented him from falling directly to the ground.
It wasn't until he actually came into contact with it that Xu Si realized this thing was actually a rare item ranked as high as 49, called "Red String of Devotion".
As for whether it has any other uses, Xu Si did not know.
On the system panel that Xu Si didn't notice, Xu Si's sequence progress jumped directly from 1.23% to 23%.
Jian Shiyi was also a bit confused.
Originally, it was thought that there would be two fierce battles, but the ancient tree was easily subdued and the plague beast was easily killed.
Keep in mind that these two are both attendants of genuine deities; either one would be a world-destroying force in any other world.
However, it now seems rather vulnerable.
He was starting to believe the rumors about the chosen one.
He had previously been somewhat dismissive of the Chosen One, but if the Chosen One were his master, he would be his staunchest supporter.
It seems that his Sword Demon Clan has made a bet that is enough to amaze countless small worlds.
Jian Shiyi's figure fell from mid-air, the silver-white sword light receding back into his body. After the armor was removed, his figure was much thinner than before, like an ancient sword that had been sheathed, its sharpness restrained, yet still not to be underestimated.
He glanced in the direction Xu Si had fallen, and only after confirming that his master had been caught by Wan Liuchun did he breathe a slight sigh of relief.
The Sword Demon Clan suffered considerable damage in this battle against the plague beast; his body is still hissing with poisonous smoke.
His clansmen were in even worse shape; some had lost their sword intent and were covered in rust.
After his consciousness lingered in the darkness for a long time, Xu Si finally opened his eyes.
The sky was a grayish-white expanse, the blood-red sun already setting in the west, dyeing the clouds a dark orange-red, like pieces of embers about to burn out spread across the firmament.
He lay on the cracked, grayish-white ground, his head resting on Wanliuchun's long, fair legs.
That exquisitely beautiful face was looking down at him, and the red string on his bare ankle had been retied, its color even a few shades darker than before.
"Awake?" Wan Liuchun's voice was devoid of emotion.
Xu Si did not answer immediately.
He first checked his physical condition in the depths of his consciousness.
The dark golden disease spots have been mostly cleared away; the sequence energy is also slowly recovering.
"How long was I unconscious?"
"Soon, half an hour later."
Xu Si propped himself up, sat up from Wan Liuchun's lap, and gently patted his cheek to bring his consciousness back as quickly as possible.
He glanced around and saw Jian Shiyi sitting cross-legged not far away. He had put his silver-white armor back on, but the luster on the surface of the armor was noticeably duller, like a sword that had been repeatedly polished but had not yet been repolished.
Seeing that Xu Si had woken up, Jian Shiyi nodded in acknowledgment and then reattached the [Sword of Royal Authority] to the sword, which was then sheathed.
Xu Si was silent for a moment, then looked at the sky in a daze, and then stood up from the ground.
"What about the ancient tree?" he asked.
Wanliuchun raised her hand, and the pure black bracelet gleamed on Xu Si's wrist.
The phantom of the black building flashed through the air, and Xu Si's consciousness sank into it.
Deep within the black building, in that gray and white void, stood an ancient, pitch-black tree, its trunk now entwined with layers of red silk threads.
It floated quietly in the void, the dark golden patterns on the tree trunk still pulsating slowly, like a heart that was still beating.
"It didn't resist at all, otherwise we would have had a hard time dealing with it."
Xu Si withdrew his consciousness from the dark building, his brows furrowed.
"What? What does it mean? Do you want me to take care of it now?"
"I think we should pass. Ask Yi Yi instead; it might be helpful to her." Wan Liuchun glanced at him, a playful smile appearing on her exquisitely handsome face.
"Yi-Yi? What does this have to do with Yi-Yi?"
"The Ancient Tree Clan is originally a follower of the God of Life, and the God of Life has always come from the Elf Clan. Although the current God of Life is a Dark Elf, he is still from the Elf Clan."
"If there is anything in this world that can completely purify the disease factors in the ancient tree, it can only be the royal bloodline of the elves, and the thing that the royal family of the elves is best at is to nurture the World Tree."
"What do you mean? What is the World Tree?" Xu Si realized that the ancient tree seemed to be very important to Yi Yi.
But as Yi Yi's temporary guardian, Xu Si needs to understand some things!
If he were to simply reveal everything, wouldn't that be incredibly irresponsible of him?
"The World Tree is the foundation of all elven races, or rather, the foundation of all life. Where there is a World Tree, there is life. It can turn barren land into living land, and it is also the most common means for the elven race to improve their homes..."
It was Yi Yi who spoke. She had somehow emerged from the depths of Xu Si's heart and had clearly overheard Xu Si and Wan Liuchun's conversation.
"Moreover, the ancient trees that transform into World Trees will also become special beings, not only being removed from their retinues, but also becoming the new will of the world! And they will improve the living environment of the world they live in on their own!" Wanliuchun said.
"Therefore, the Elf Royal Family is the most popular divine attribute in every small world!" Wanliuchun added.
Xu Si looked back at the devastated Earth, as if he were recalling something.
It is the vast grassland of my memory, where the wind blows across the grass and cattle and sheep graze; it is the green ocean where the shade is like a sea and the forests are like peaks.
It is that joy and vitality;
It is that freedom and ambition;
It is a scene of a hundred flowers blooming.
It was the vibrant springtime.
Instead of the withered, dilapidated, decaying, and scarred landscape it is today.
