Chapter 301 The Bloodstained Heavenly Book
However, the star field surrounding the World Tree is only so big. At his flying speed, two days is enough for him to travel to every planet.
After all, the planets in the Fairy Realm are much smaller than those in the Titan Realm. If the planets in the Human Realm are used as a benchmark, the Fairy Realm's planets are undoubtedly on the lower end.
Of course, this does not mean that elves are weaker than humans; quite the opposite.
Xiang Ling felt much relieved after receiving Gu Yun's reply; she was a very conflicted person at the moment.
Although she had already disregarded her own life and death, her death was undoubtedly conditional: she had to take several members of the elven royal family with her. However, this was her initial consideration. After Gu Yun came along, her conditions became even more ambitious; she wanted to throw the entire elven royal family into chaos.
Therefore, she did not want to die in humiliation at the hands of the Elven royal family before the conditions were met. They would definitely try every means to force her to reveal the whereabouts of the wordless book.
Compared to Gu Yun, the latter is undoubtedly much more upright.
Xiangling subconsciously gave a soft "oh," glanced around, and said.
"Senior, where do we go next?"
Gu Yun's lips twitched, but he remained silent, staring at Xiang Ling. Under Gu Yun's piercing gaze, Xiang Ling sobered up a bit and gave an awkward laugh.
"Senior, I was just joking. I remember, I remember."
"If the layout hasn't changed, it should be around the base of the World Tree, but I really don't remember which planet it is."
Gu Yun was slightly surprised by the unexpected answer, as she had originally thought Yunyin might be in the canopy.
Because there were several strands of aura in the tree canopy that made him take them seriously.
Yunyin's importance led him to unconsciously place her in the canopy layer.
"And what about the tree canopy? What kind of royalty lives there?"
Upon hearing Gu Yun's words, Xiang Ling trembled involuntarily. She seemed to be very familiar with the people who might exist in the treetops, and also very afraid. With a somewhat flustered look in her eyes, she blurted out...
"That's a...high-ranking member of the elven royal family..."
"He is the one who truly controls the Elf royal family."
“My parents used to be there.”
"The wordless book... is also there."
"But I can't say exactly what kind of place it is. Although my parents are in the canopy, they are only outside the circle. It was just a coincidence that they learned about the wordless book."
Gu Yun paused for a moment, looked at Xiang Ling's fear that seemed to be etched deep into her soul, sighed, and said.
"It seems your parents just don't want you to worry too much."
"If it's really the outer perimeter, I'm afraid we won't even be able to touch the wordless book."
Let me explain briefly.
"What did those elven royalty do to make you feel such disgust and fear?"
He knew that Xiangling had actually wanted to tell him these things from the beginning in an attempt to worsen his impression of the elven royal family, even though he didn't have much affection for them now either.
Unfortunately, at that time, he didn't want to know about these things that were none of his business, whether it was the situation or his mood.
All living things possess both good and evil; he will determine that.
But now that he has sensed those old monsters in the canopy, Gu Yun feels it is necessary to understand what they did before and speculate on their personalities, which will determine how he should act in the next two days.
He wanted to minimize their attention, at least for the next two days, because if they really got involved, the risk factor for Gu Yun would rise sharply.
However, Gu Yun guessed that these guys probably didn't share the glory and disgrace of the entire Elf royal family, or valued the existence of their clansmen highly, as evidenced by their use of Yun Yin and other peers as potential chosen ones.
These high-ranking elven royalty are probably only concerned with their own core interests. As long as they don't cross the line, killing a few elven royalty shouldn't be a big deal in the short term.
After all, they've lived for thousands of years, so it's normal for those in positions of power to have such rigid thinking.
From non-elf races to ordinary elves, to elven royalty, and then to the upper echelons of the elven royal family, the shackles advance layer by layer, forming a vast feudal autocratic state.
But the people of this country are very "united," at least in their external relations, because they share a common belief, except for a small number of people who have seen through the illusions of the world.
just now.
Gu Yun simply wanted to hear more about the kind of evil they were committing; he himself was no kind person.
In this world, kind people, if they weren't blessed with protagonist's halo, wouldn't survive more than a few episodes.
Xiangling's next words confirmed Gu Yun's thoughts.
"Sacrifice..."
"Sacrifice?"
"kindness."
Xiangling nodded and continued.
"At that time, the Elven royal family only possessed half of the wordless book. Those high-ranking members who knew the secrets of the wordless book were naturally deeply involved in it, and they were obsessed with completing the wordless book to the point of almost losing their minds."
"So they inscribed their desire to know where the other half of the blank book was on this half of the blank book."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yun raised an eyebrow. In fact, after he first learned about the function of the Wordless Book, he was curious as to why the Elf Royal Family did not make a wish to complete the Wordless Book, but it was interrupted by the arrival of the so-called "reinforcements".
It seems unlikely that this can be done now.
"As a result, the elven royal who held this idea had his lifespan drained and died suddenly while carving the first word, but this did not disappoint the high-ranking elven royals in the slightest."
"On the contrary, I was unusually excited."
"Because they discovered that the half-written character might have been left unfinished, or perhaps the heavenly book had not fulfilled its wish, or for some other reason. In any case, the wordless heavenly book became a written heavenly book at that moment."
"And there is only one possibility: if the person who inscribed the wish is willing to sacrifice their life for it, then even if that person cannot bear it, the wish can be continued by someone else who has the same wish."
"So they started to gather high-ranking elves who were 'willing' to sacrifice themselves for them, which was more of a form of coercion than willingness, haha."
"Unfortunately, apart from the first innocent victim, no elf was willing to pay the price for this."
"The Elf race only worships the gods of the upper realm, not the Elf royal family's high-ranking members. If the gods have any needs, there might be beings willing to sacrifice themselves for them. However, for the selfish desires of these high-ranking members, just to complete the wordless book, no one who isn't stupid would be willing to sacrifice their hard-earned cultivation or even their lives."
"But that won't extinguish our burning ambition."
"So they used all sorts of means, coercion, bribery, and finally threatened their children's lives. That's how my parents got involved."
"Perhaps it was fate, and it was because of this that my parents had the opportunity to come into contact with the wordless book by chance."
"Following the guidance of the wordless book."
"They joined forces with all the victims whose lifespans were about to be taken away by the wordless book, and made a living together."
"Unfortunately, the glimmer of hope noted in the wordless book is truly only a glimmer of hope."
"I was the only one who escaped alive during that incident."
"Carrying that blood-stained, wordless book..."
