Chapter 184: Why the Elf Race Perished

The Star Sea Zither Saint smiled faintly, "He has already recovered. When the time is ripe, he will naturally reunite with you."

"Reunite with me!" Lin Chen suddenly remembered Bai Fan's familiar gaze, and her heart trembled.

"Thank you, Senior!"

Lin Chen knelt down gracefully, her fair palms resting gently on the ground. Her skin was like snow, appearing exceptionally delicate and exuding a touch of gentleness and obedience.

"No need to thank me; my Lifespan is coming to an end. Are you willing to become my successor?"

Lin Chen gently extended her fair palm, her fingertips trembling slightly. Void Power flowed out slowly, and black swan feathers drifted lightly in the air.

"Senior, as you can see, I do not possess Star Power, so I fear I am not suitable. I only wish to retrieve the star ancient zither."

"Lin Chen, do you know why your zither can resonate with the Dao and dispel the Heavenly Tribulation?

Do you know why your healing power surpasses that of ordinary people countless times over, even capable of healing Dao wounds?

And do you know why your Void Power radiates beautiful swan feathers?"

"I do not know!" Lin Chen lowered her head, her heart filled with confusion.

"Your true power is immeasurable; it is simply that you have not yet realized your true power," the Star Sea Zither Saint said slowly.

"True power!" Lin Chen murmured to herself, a faint sense of realization dawning in her heart.

"Lin Chen, are you willing to inherit my Legacy?" The Star Sea Zither Saint's eyes revealed anticipation.

"This Disciple is willing!" Lin Chen felt an invisible summons and answered without hesitation.

The Star Sea Zither Saint waved her hand slightly, and the surrounding Void Realm suddenly lit up with a soft radiance, as if countless stars were twinkling in the night sky. The stars fell gently upon her.

Lin Chen felt a warm power flow into her body, faintly sensing a connection between herself and the stars.

"From now on, you will not only be the inheritor of the Elf Race, but also the Star Main God, wielding the Profound Truth of Life."

As the Star Sea Zither Saint's voice faded, the Legacy hidden deep within Lin Chen's Soul was triggered, and countless pieces of information surged forth instantly, flooding into her consciousness like a tide.

At this moment, the Star Sea Zither Saint was like a burning candle; she poured out all her life's insights into the stars and her Star Power, giving it all to Lin Chen.

The surrounding space began to blur, and starlight flickered in the air, like thousands of meteors streaking across the night sky, dazzling and bright.

The star ancient zither slowly appeared before Lin Chen, its body emitting a warm radiance, and an invisible force connected it to her.

"Lin Chen, cherish this Legacy." The Star Sea Zither Saint's voice echoed in her ears.

As the last word fell, the Star Sea Zither Saint's image gradually became transparent, her body turning into specks of light that drifted away in the Void Realm.

Lin Chen watched this scene, her eyes inevitably moistening. "Senior!"

The giant flower structure in the sky gradually withered, finally turning into specks of starlight that dissipated in the Void Realm.

As the light dispersed, Lin Chen fell from the high sky. Around her, countless petite and exquisite elves flew in from all directions, dancing gracefully around her. Accompanied by a faint glow, they constructed a new aerial swing for her.

Lin Chen sat down slowly, lifted her head slightly, and looked at these lively little creatures, asking with a smile, "Do you want me to stay?"

The elves danced joyfully around her, but they could not express anything in words.

Lin Chen lowered her head in thought, a sudden idea striking her, and she said softly, "Let me help you!"

She tried to use the Law of Life she had just comprehended. With a spread of her hands, the order of the rules sprinkled gently from her fingertips, turning into circles of halos that enveloped the elves.

However, as soon as the order of the rules began to operate, Lin Chen felt the power within her being rapidly drained.

Her face turned pale, her breathing quickened, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

"I'm sorry, my cultivation is too low…" Lin Chen felt dizzy and was about to fall from the swing.

Just at this moment, within the converging light, the figures of two elves gradually appeared. Their features were delicate and refined, their ears slender and erect, and their skin was as translucent as jade, carrying a faint luster.

They wore flowing light-green silk dresses, the hemlines hanging down softly like flowing water, and their waists were adorned with tiny vine ornaments, as if they were one with nature.

The two elves respectfully supported Lin Chen on the left and right, calling out softly, "Queen! Be careful."

Lin Chen was stunned, her eyes showing confusion, and she asked gently, "Who are you?"

The elf on the left had a gentle appearance, with a touch of tenderness in her eyes. She smiled slightly, her voice soft and kind, "I am Ailin, one of the guardians of the Elf Race."

The elf on the right had a somewhat sharp appearance, with a bit more calmness in her brows and eyes. Her voice was firm and respectful, "My name is Luna. Thanks to the Queen's help, we were able to manifest into human form. You have just comprehended the Legacy, so do not be too hasty."

Lin Chen smiled slightly, her eyes filled with gratification, "That is wonderful, succeeding on the first try. When my cultivation improves, I will come back to help you."

Ailin showed a worried expression, "Queen, are you going to leave here?"

"Yes, my companion is still waiting for me outside, and I must return."

"But this place drifts outside the Dao and is isolated from the Universe. If you leave, it will be very difficult to return. Moreover, the outside world is full of danger; staying here is the safest option."

Ailin and Luna's eyes were filled with earnestness and reluctance.

Lin Chen shook her head, however, and said firmly, "No, I must go back. I must verify what I have in mind."

Ailin said anxiously, "Queen, if you return to the outside world, you will surely be besieged by the various gods."

"Queen, you absolutely must not go back!" The two elves said in unison, their eyes filled with deep worry.

A flash of anger crossed Lin Chen's beautiful eyes, and she bit her lip slightly, saying in a deep voice, "Why would the gods want to besiege me?"

Ailin sighed and replied in a low voice, "The power of our Elf Race can shake the rules and order they have established. Therefore, we are treated as outcasts who break the rules. Back then, it was precisely the joint siege of the various gods that caused our forms to dissipate, leaving us drifting outside the Dao."

"What!" Lin Chen was shocked, "There is such a thing?"

"Queen, you absolutely must not go back. Once your identity is discovered, those Main Gods will definitely take joint action, and the consequences will be unimaginable," Luna added.

Lin Chen stood stunned, her eyes filled with confusion, which gradually burned into fighting spirit, and finally, it raged like a fire.

"No, I will not only go back, but I will also bring you back with me. Even if they are gods, they cannot exterminate us. I want to seek justice for the Elf Race. If the heavens cannot accommodate us, then we will slaughter our way through these heavens!"

As soon as her words fell, a thunderclap suddenly rang out in the sky, and lightning streaked across the vast sky, deafening, as if responding to Lin Chen's bold words.

The two elves looked at each other, their eyes glistening with tears and determination, "Queen! We will go with you!"

Just at this moment, the star pendant on Lin Chen's chest rose slowly, its light gentle yet solemn, enveloping the entire Elf Kingdom.

The phantom of the Star Sea Zither Saint appeared.

"My Disciple, I anticipated that you would make such a decision; the star pendant can help you. It will take this Elf Kingdom within it and nourish them to gradually recover."

"Teacher!"

"After you go out, be careful. Keep your heart and mind firm, and you will eventually break through the mist and see the light again."

As her voice faded, the Star Sea Zither Saint's figure gradually dissipated, turning into specks of starlight that dissolved into the pendant, disappearing along with the Elf Kingdom.
