Doomsday Code

Chapter 568 Extremely Low Birth Rate

The World Tree, as its name suggests.

Standing under this big tree, I really feel like I am looking into a big world.

This is the habitat of the elves and also their birthplace.

The elves' entire lives revolve around this tree.

When we arrived at the foot of the World Tree, there were no luxurious palaces or buildings, only wooden houses grown from the natural branches of the World Tree.

Beautiful elves travel back and forth here, and little elves live and learn the knowledge of the elves here.

"Elder, you are back."

At this time, the elves saw Melos and the others coming back on unicorns, and they immediately ran to them and started chattering and asking questions.

"Elders, did you bring us any gifts when you went out? The wreaths you brought us last time were so beautiful."

Herlous patted their heads and said:

"Of course I brought it."

As she spoke, she waved her hand, and sets of beautiful clothes woven from special leaves appeared in front of the elves.

"Wow, what a beautiful dress."

After taking the clothes and thanking Herlous, the elves hurried back to try them on.

Samlet, who was following behind, couldn't help but smile when he saw the elves running away.

"These little elves are so naive."

Herlous seemed to be still angry and said coldly:

"Yes, as long as I don't encounter those sweet-talking people like you humans."

Then Herlous sighed deeply and said:

"The children you just saw are all the descendants of our elves born in the past few decades."

Samlet, who was originally a little embarrassed, changed his expression after hearing Herlous' words.

"How is this possible? Your World Tree is healthy and well. Why is there only so few offspring?"

However, Herlous snorted coldly and said:

"Could it be that the Palace Master has so quickly forgotten the agreement between our clan and the imperial family? Isn't the reason for all this because His Majesty failed to fulfill his promise?"

Although Samlet was involved in the events of that year, he did not know the specific details. He only knew that the royal family had made a deal with the elves.

When the imperial capital was conquered by the rebels, he fought desperately to kill the enemies and thought that the elves would come out to help the empire wipe out the rebels. However, he did not expect that until the royal family was destroyed, the elves and other tribes did not come.

The emperor at that time gave him many instructions in the last moments of his life, including one about the promise made to the elves.

However, after the incident happened that year, the elves and other tribes never spoke up for His Majesty, as if they had condoned the actions of those traitors, so he did not take these promises to heart.

Now, looking at the elves, we can see that in the past few decades, or since the fall of the royal family, the birth rate of their entire tribe has been declining rapidly, until recently it has been rare to see an elf being born.

"Back then, our elves fulfilled our promise to the Empire, and I believe that the Lord Palace Master does not want His Majesty to be branded as dishonest, so please invite His Majesty out."

As Herlous finished speaking, the World Tree before him, whose age and height were unknown, began to move.

It was just a branch of the World Tree. With just one sweep, Samlet had no power to resist and was directly bound by the World Tree.

Although Samlet was injured now, he was able to catch him so easily. Samlet believed that this tree might really be a sacred tree as the rumors said.

Herlous came before Samlet and said:

"Don't worry, Palace Master. We will not harm you. We just hope that Your Majesty can fulfill the agreement with our clan."

Samlet also knew that this was a matter of life and death for their entire elven tribe. If they couldn't wait for Chen Cheng to appear, no one knew whether they would do something else crazy.

"Hello, can you trust me and your people?"

Samlet asked, looking into her eyes that were as bright as gemstones.

"My clan has long since sworn an oath to the great Father God that we will never do anything to harm Your Majesty."

The Father God here does not mean father, in simple terms, it means the God of Life.

The supreme god among the elves is not the god of light believed in by humans, but the god of life.

In their legends, this world was originally a wilderness, and it was the appearance of the God of Life that gave life to this world.

When the God of Life created life in the world, the world was too desolate and too vast, so every time God went to a place to create a life, a strand of his hair would fall off and stick to the ground.

Until he came to the Moonlight Forest and used his last strength to create the World Tree, which gave birth to the most perfect elves.

Then, at the last moment of his life, the God of Life met the Moon Goddess, who promised him that she would protect the elves forever.

Among the elves, the God of Life is not a female but a male, so they call the Supreme God of Life they believe in as the Father God.

It can be said that the elves using this god as an excuse is definitely more effective than swearing an oath or making any contract.

Although Samlet didn't know whether the God of Life existed, he knew that the Moon God must exist, otherwise he would not have come to the Moonlight Forest.

The Moon God that the elves believe in still exists, and the elves can still tell the legend of the God of Life, which means that this may not be just a legend.

Samlett was also full of awe for such a God who created the world's life.

"I believe the elves will not joke with the God of Life, and Your Majesty will fulfill the promise made between the Empire and the elves."

This is not Samlett admitting defeat, but the best solution he can think of based on the current development of the situation.

Since the road to the City of Sin has been blocked, he discovered that what Thorn Flower XIII said was true.

Then perhaps Chen Cheng could fulfill the promise made by the royal family to various ethnic groups, and then gather the hearts of all ethnic groups and form an alliance army of all ethnic groups to fight against the rebels.

It can be said that Samlett was worried about Chen Cheng's restoration of the country.

After being transferred to the wooden house, Samlett sat cross-legged on the ground and began to activate the backup plan he had left on Sheli.

At this time, in the capital of Moss, which was tens of thousands of miles away, Sheli, who was following Chen Cheng, noticed something strange about his armor.

Then the next moment a thought rushed into his mind.

In his mind, Samlett's godlike figure appeared, while Sheli's spirit body was still holding an ordinary butcher knife in his hand and looking at him.

Samlett took a look at Sheli's spiritual realm and exclaimed in admiration:

"Your spiritual world is very stable. It seems that it won't be long before you enter the second stage of enlightenment."
