Chapter 135 - 135 The Secret of the Race
135 The Secret of the Race
Sunmoon Star City, Twin God Palace.
Elven King Fashad and Moon Elf Grand Elder Silverdew were kneeling in the hall, their heads pressed tightly against the smooth stone floor. They didn’t dare to make any unnecessary movements.
Two figures were floating above them.
One of the figures had a 30% resemblance to the Sun Elves. His eyes were large and protruding. His entire eyeball was golden, completely destroying the Sun Elves’ delicate and beautiful facial features. He looked a little scary.
His lower body was no longer legs, but a burning flame.
Although his body emitted a warm light, his overall image was a bit terrifying and ugly. He was the Sun God.
Opposite him was the Moon Goddess. With a withered body and pale face, the Moon Goddess looked especially like an evil old witch.
No wonder Ilya looked down on the gods of the World of Moen. From their appearance alone, they did not have the noble temperament of gods.
“Si Ang,” Moon Goddess Nieve said. “Have you dealt with that disobedient mortal, Joseba?”
The flame on Si Ang’s lower body swayed and let out a sharp, ear-piercing sound.
“Joseba is very tactful. He has already made a bloodline oath, so we can start the war as planned.
“Nieve, although the plan is going well, I still have to say something. You shouldn’t have allowed the Moon Elves to slaughter the Star Elves. If we had Starfall, our chances of winning would have been higher!”
Fashad and Silverdew kneeled on the ground, feeling the shaking of the hall. They shivered, but still put their heads on the ground. Even if their heads and knees were hit by the shaking of the ground, they still maintained their kneeling posture.
“The Star Elves are a bunch of trash,” Nieve said after she had laughed enough. “They rely on the power of Starfall to look down on the dignity of the gods. Since they don’t believe in gods, what’s the use of keeping them?
“Furthermore, the Star Elves are getting weaker and weaker. In the past 300 years, not a single priest has been able to cultivate the Star Prayer Spell to Level 5. The power of Starfall can not be fully unleashed. So what if we kill this kind of trash?”
The Sun God, Si Ang, was the first God of the elven race. He was also one of the first gods to snatch the world’s essence and become a god. He knew more secrets than Nieve.
Si Ang rolled his eyes and said, “Nieve, you don’t know the power of Starfall.
“Many years ago, when we elves had just been born, we were struggling to survive on the extremely dangerous ancient continent. A lucky elf found a huge stone.
“She liked this stone very much. Regardless of the danger, she built a wooden house on the stone and lived on it for five hundred years.
“One day, she went out to hunt and was attacked by a wild beast. Her body was severely injured. When she was on the verge of death, she thought of her stone and dragged her injured body back to the stone.
“After she prayed to the stone one last time, she closed her eyes and waited for death.
“Just as she was about to die, the stone suddenly burst out with a burst of light, shining on the elf’s body. Not only did she recover from all her injuries, but she also obtained super strength.
“At the same time, a new message appeared in her mind. This message contained starlight magic, including the Star Prayer Spell.
“After the stone showed its magical power, it slowly rose. During the process of rising, the stone emitted a strong suction force, and countless substances were swallowed by the stone.
“By the time the stone rose to the sky, it had already become a huge planet. The elf sensed the change in the stone and named it Starfall.”
This was the first time Nieve had heard of this secret. Her wrinkled face showed a trace of shock as she asked.
“Could that elf be one of them?”
Si Ang didn’t wait for her to finish asking and said directly, “That’s right. She is Kureya Atyaga, the mother of all elves.
“It was Kureya who discovered Starfall,” Si Ang continued. “We elves mastered the starlight magic and had the protection of the divine weapon, Starfall. We finally survived and reproduced in the ancient continent that was full of danger.
“With the development of the race, some elves liked the sun and green and were active during the day, while some elves liked the moonlight and night and chose to stay in the day and come out at night.
“As time passed, the Sun Elves and Moon Elves were divided into two groups. Every year, the elves would choose the most talented geniuses from the Sun Elves and Moon Elves to become Starlight priests.
“The Starlight priest had the most powerful divine weapon, Starfall, which represented the noblest status among the elves.
“As time passed, the Starlight priests discovered that the elves with good talent would give birth to more talented elves, so they began to intermarry.
“They were greedy for power and tried to let the bloodline of the Starlight priest control Starfall forever, and they succeeded in the end.
“The elves no longer chose geniuses from the Sun Elves and Moon Elves to become Starlight priests. The power of Starlight priests was monopolized by their descendants.
“Thus, the Star Elves were born.”
After hearing the secrets of her race, not only was Moon Goddess Nieve shocked, but Fashad and Silverdew, who were kneeling on the ground, were also fascinated. They even forgot the pain in their knees and heads.
Nieve’s expression turned ugly. She said in a hoarse voice, “So, the Star Elves are the royalty of the elves, and we are all inferior races?”
Sun God Si Ang laughed and said loudly, “That’s right. The Star Elves have ruled the elves for countless years, but everything has its advantages and disadvantages.
“Due to the intermarriage of Star Elves, there was more and more inbreeding, and their genes were also getting better and better. This led to an extremely slow reproduction rate, and the number of Star Elves had always been relatively small.
“As for us, the Sun Elves and Moon Elves, our population increased explosively. When I lit the divine fire and became a god, the status of the Sun Elves started to rise, and they were on par with the Star Elves.”
Si Ang didn’t finish his sentence because it involved the grudge between him and Nieve.
After Si Ang became a God, he felt that there were too few gods in the elven race, so he helped Nieve light the divine fire.
For a long time, Moon Goddess Nieve had been Sun God Si Ang’s follower.
But after the Battle of the Gods, Si Ang’s divine power was greatly damaged, and Nieve took the opportunity to get rid of Si Ang’s control and become independent.
The divine power she had accumulated over the years had even surpassed Si Ang’s.
Thus, the Moon Elves were the most powerful elves in the elven race.
“The glory of the past is just an illusion, it’s not worth mentioning,” Nieve said with a cold smile.
“The Star Elves didn’t think of improving themselves and fell to the point where they couldn’t control the power of Starfall. It was only natural that they were slaughtered.”
Since the Moon Elves had already slaughtered the elves, Nieve, as a God, would not admit her mistake.
“If our plan fails, we will end up like the Star Elves, being slaughtered.
“I’ve finally seen it clearly. So what if you’re a god? So what if you’re a beast? It’s just a battle to the death. The winner gets everything, and the loser loses his life and becomes the winner’s medal of honor!”
Si Ang’s explanation of the elven race’s history today also stirred up Nieve’s emotions. She stared at Si Ang with a mad expression.
“I hate you, Si Ang. If it wasn’t for your seduction and temptation, I would have been an ordinary Moon Elf. I would have found a handsome lover, built a complete family with him and lived my life happily.
“It’s you! Let me become a so-called god, a god bound by the divine title, and become this ugly!
“When we use the world’s essence power, it’s like a child holding a big knife. We can’t move it at all!”
Seeing that Nieve was getting more and more agitated as if she was about to lose control of her emotions, Si Ang quickly cast a calming spell on her.
Nieve calmed down and regained control of her emotions. She immediately apologized to Si Ang, “I’m sorry, I lost control again just now!”
Si Ang sighed. He recalled his youth when he was playing carefreely in the Sun Elves village and met a fruit that was shining with the sun’s light.
He couldn’t resist the temptation and directly swallowed the fruit. Inexplicably, his body began to possess the power of the sun. He comprehended some laws related to the sun, such as light, growth, and fire, and became a god in his state of ignorance.
The prayers of thousands of believers almost made him lose his way. His priesthood was like a mountain, pressing down on him and forcing him to do strange things.
He had done all of these things before. When he was awake, he would have a question in his mind.
“Is this something that a carefree, kind, and innocent Sun Elf would do?”
