Chapter 513: Missing Origin Divine Tree, Displaying Divine Might!

After hearing what Vincent said, Wilbert’s expression instantly turned ugly. He had never been so humiliated in his life.

In his rage, the magic staff in his hand surged with a holy and flawless white light, condensing into a white guillotine in the air. He then slashed it down directly at Vincent’s head.

“Anyone who insults me must die under the judgment of the Holy Light!”

Wilbert roared angrily while controlling the Holy Light Guillotine.

Vincent sneered and casually pulled out the Return Journey of the Dead from his waist. He turned his hand and slashed upward. Raging flames rose from the blade and instantly split the Holy Light Guillotine into two. The remaining shattered pieces were burned to ashes by the flames.

Wilbert retreated with a shocked expression.

He was unable to understand why the alien in front of him was so powerful. Even though he had already become a level 40 creature, he was still like a young child in comparison.

Wilbert said with a crazed look on his face, “You must have used black magic. There’s no way that you can defeat me!”

Wilbert raised his staff again and released a large amount of milky white light. The white light shone in all directions like a wave.

Vincent did not expect his opponent’s attack to be so fast. He did not have time to dodge at all. However, when the white light shone on his body, he realized that it was not an attack. It was just the most basic holy light spell.

This spell could cause some damage to the evil spirits. However, it would not cause any damage to the other races. Instead, it could purify diseases and strengthen one’s physique.

“Are you trying to purify me? I will disappoint you!” said Vincent with a smile as he walked toward Wilbert with the knife in his hand. His eyes were filled with disdain and ridicule.

In his eyes, Wilbert was nothing but trash with a foul mouth. He did not even have the qualifications to be his opponent!

Wilbert finally understood the gap between him and Vincent. Earlier, Vincent was able to destroy his Holy Light Guillotine without using all his strength. Instead, he was able to do it so easily. Wilbert’s arrogance disappeared in an instant. The confidence that he had accumulated since he was young was gone. At that moment, he had even forgotten his obsession with the title of Great Divine Priest. He only wanted to survive and escape from Vincent.

“It was all a misunderstanding just now. Please let me go. As long as you let me go, I will work hard to help you achieve reconciliation between the two parties. I will ask the Light Guardian Council to accept Andy’s return!”

In his panic, Wilbert did not think at all. He knelt in front of Vincent and pleaded charmingly.

Vincent sheathed his knife and said softly, “If you had shown such attitude earlier, you might have been able to become a Great Divine Priest with dignity. But now, you can only keep your life. As for cooperating with the Light Guardian Council, I don’t need you to negotiate with them!”

After saying that, Vincent ignored Wilbert and walked straight past him. He walked toward Nico, who was stunned not far away.

Nico saw Vincent walking over to him. There was no hostility on Vincent’s face, so he did not feel fear or panic. Instead, he stood in place and waited for Vincent to walk over.

However, at that moment, Wilbert, who was behind Vincent, suddenly stood up and threw away the magic staff in his hand. He reached out and pulled out two daggers from under his clothes. He then turned around and stabbed Vincent.

Nico widened his eyes and opened his mouth. However, he did not say a single word because he was afraid that he would anger Wilbert again.

After all, Wilbert was the future Great Divine Priest, the strongest elf in the current Light Guardian Council!

Nico was also aware of one of Wilbert’s secrets. When Wilbert gave up on his magic staff and took out his daggers, he was at his strongest!

Wilbert had always been a member of the patrol team, and he was best at close combat!

Using his staff to cast spells was just something Wilbert had learned in order to cater to his status as Great Divine Priest.

At that moment, Wilbert, who had a sharp blade in his hand, transformed into a streak of white light. He charged straight toward Vincent’s back. Just when Vincent decided to let him off the hook, his ambition had once again taken over his rationality. He thought that since he could not defeat Vincent in a frontal battle, then he could use his sneak attack to deal with him instead. After all, he had exceptional confidence in his sharp blade.

As long as he killed Vincent, Wilbert would still be able to hold the right to speak in the Light Guardian Council. He would become a Great Divine Priest, second only to one elf. He would be above ten thousand elves and walk to the peak of power!

However, just as Wilbert flew into the air, twelve flaming wings suddenly spread out on Vincent’s back, forming a flame barrier!

Wilbert who did not have time to stop, was like a moth flying into a fire, directly crashing into Vincent’s flaming wings.

“Ah!”

Wilbert’s mournful scream echoed throughout the entire forest. He struggled in the flames for a few seconds before he was completely burned into ashes and dissipated into the air with the wind.

Vincent stopped where he was and kept his flaming wings. He sighed helplessly, “If you beg for mercy, I’ll let you live! If you beg for death, I’ll let you die without a doubt!”

When Nico saw the horrifying scene, he immediately sat down on the ground and looked at Vincent with fear.

Vincent walked up to Nico and asked softly, “What’s your name?”

Nico replied with a trembling tone, “Nico…”

Vincent asked with a smile, “Can you take me to the Light Guardian Council? When the time comes, I’ll naturally explain everything, including the death of that idiot!”

Nico did not have the courage to refuse. He quickly nodded, got up, and led Vincent to the depths of the mountains.

The Light Guardian Council had been established for hundreds of years. After several generations of development by the elves, the headquarters was in a very proud state.

White jade-like rocks piled up to form a towering stone tower. Surrounding the stone tower were houses. Although the shapes of the houses were not the same, their building style was rather similar. They were tall and sleek-looking.

Their style was very different from the style of the temples in the major cities. It could be said that they had gone to two completely different ends. The Light Guardian Council had been guarding the Tias Mountain Range. They had a different history and customs from the outside world.

Vincent suddenly said, “Tell me about the composition of the Light Guardian Council, especially those positions that have the power to make decisions!”

Nico knew that if he answered Vincent, he would be equivalent to being a traitor. However, he had no choice at that moment. He could only answer truthfully, “In the Light Guardian Council, the highest position is the High Priest of Light, who has the power to decide almost everything! At the same time, there are Seven Great Divine Priests under the High Priest, who are responsible for leading everyone to worship the gods and preach for everyone. Anything that concerns the future of the Light Guardian Council will be discussed by the High Priest and the Seven Great Divine Priests. Their relationship corresponds to the God of the World and the Seven Great Elf Kings in the ancient records. It symbolizes stability and order of the world!”

Vincent nodded slightly, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes. It seemed that the Light Guardian Council did have records regarding the God of the World. This meant that they would definitely gain something from this trip!

However, when Vincent followed Nick into the hall of the Light Guardian Council, all he saw was Horace, Avril, and Angelina standing silently at the entrance of the hall.

Vincent frowned and asked, “What happened to you guys?”

Horace turned his head, his tone was solemn as he said, “The day before we arrived here, the High Priest and the Seven Great Divine Priests of the Light Guardian Council had all disappeared. All the members of the Light Guardian Council are searching everywhere for them, but there is still no news!”

Vincent turned to look at Nico.

Nico nodded nervously and quickly said, “You didn’t ask me about the whereabouts of the High Priest and the Great Divine Priests, so I didn’t tell you!”

Vincent retracted his gaze and walked to Horace’s side. He saw Andy kneeling in the hall. She was crying whilst covering her face. There were two Light Elf girls who were comforting her. They seemed to be her childhood playmates.

Vincent looked around and asked softly, “Where are the other members of the Light Guardian Council? Has anyone seen the High Priest and the Seven Great Divine Priests?”

Horace shook his head helplessly and said, “The other members are still looking for them and have not returned. The two girls are only responsible for guarding the hall. Otherwise, they would have gone out to participate in the search! If you want to investigate this matter personally, I’m afraid that there is no one who can provide us with information!”

At that moment, Nico slowly raised his hand and said carefully, “I, I saw the High Priest and the Seven Great Divine Priests last night!”

Vincent and Horace looked at Nick at the same time and urged, “Then, quickly tell me what they were doing last night. Was there anything unusual?”

Nico recalled carefully, “Last night, I was in charge of the night patrol in the auditorium. I saw the High Priest and the Seven Great Divine Priests rush into the auditorium. It seemed that something unexpected had happened, and it must have been a huge problem because their expressions were very serious!”

Nico continued, “I wanted to go forward and ask about what had happened, but they didn’t seem to hear me. They ignored me and walked into the auditorium. When I went over this morning, only then did I realize that the hall was empty. The High Priest, the Seven Great Divine Priests, and the Origin Divine Tree that we have been worshipping all this time had disappeared together!”

Vincent frowned slightly and asked curiously, “Origin Divine Tree? The disappearance of the High Priest and Great Divine Priests is related to the Origin Divine Tree?”

Nico nodded and said, “Yes! The first-generation founder of the Light Guardian Council found a growing Origin Divine Tree here. Thus, according to the ancient records, they built a hall here. They used the Origin Divine Tree to symbolize the God of the World and the Seven Great Elf Kings. They worshipped it every day without break! In fact, the power of the High Priest and the Seven Great Divine Priests was unparalleled. If they were the only ones who had suddenly disappeared, everyone wouldn’t be too nervous. However, the Origin Divine Tree which symbolizes God disappeared at the same time. This caused everyone to panic! That is why everyone is out looking for them!”

After hearing Nick’s story, Vincent realized the crux of the problem and quickly said, “Bring me to the location where the Origin Divine Tree was growing before!”

Nico saw that Vincent seemed to have a way to find the Origin Divine Tree, so he quickly pushed open the hall’s door and brought Vincent to the empty high platform in the middle of the hall.

On the high platform, there was a round piece of soil about five meters wide. The original sacred tree that was supposed to grow on this piece of soil had completely disappeared, leaving behind a hole as thick as an arm on the ground.

Vincent squatted down and looked at the hole in the soil carefully. He reached out to explore the hole and found that there seemed to be weak air flowing below it. Vincent got up and said to Horace and the others, “Now, as long as we find the whereabouts of the Origin Divine Tree, we should be able to find the High Priest and the Seven Great Divine Priests of the Light Guardian Council. And I think there are some problems happening underground that are worth investigating!”

After hearing what Vincent said, Andy immediately stopped crying and raised her head excitedly. She asked, “Really? Can we still find the whereabouts of my father and mother?”

Vincent nodded confidently and said to Avril, “I’ll go down to check first. If I don’t come back after half a day, you can go down to look for me. But remember to be careful and don’t leave the space tunnel easily!”

Avril nodded and reminded Vincent, “Don’t worry, be careful!”

Vincent waved his hand and pushed Nico off the high platform. He slipped into the ground through a space door.

Nico, who was sitting on the ground, looked at Vincent who had suddenly disappeared in the high hall. He could not help but shiver. This was because he was unable to understand his special ability that should only exist in the bodies of gods. He performed it in front of him, twice!

Vincent, who was in the space tunnel, observed the traces of the roots left in the soil carefully. He soon discovered a strange phenomenon.

The deeper he went, the wider the space in the soil became. In the end, he arrived at an underground tunnel that could accommodate three people walking side by side. This was contrary to the normal tree roots whereby they should become smaller as they grow deeper underground.

Vincent used the space tunnel to travel all the way underground. He suddenly found a light not far ahead.

In the deep underground, such light was obviously an extremely abnormal existence!

Vincent quickened his steps and found the location of the light. He suddenly saw eight figures wearing white robes and scarves sitting around an extremely young sapling. They were maintaining an array together. They seemed to be trying to speed up the growth of the sapling.

Vincent opened the space door and sighed softly, “I found you!”

Sitting in front of him were eight level 40 elves, but their beliefs were all different. There were Light Elves, Thunder Elves, and Fire Elves.

Their appearances corresponded to Nico’s description of the High Priest and the Seven Great Divine Priests!

At that moment, the Elf who was shocked by Vincent’s sudden appearance turned his head and asked with a surprised face, “Who are you? Why are you here? Did you destroy the Origin Divine Tree in the auditorium?”

Vincent shook his head and said, “Your Origin Divine Tree has nothing to do with me! I came to reconcile with you on behalf of the vengeful elves. I have with me, Franklin and Amanda’s daughter, Andy. But I didn’t expect that we would encounter the disappearance of the High Priest and Seven Great Divine Priests as soon as we arrived here. Fortunately, I have found your whereabouts. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me about them. After I help you solve them, we can also talk about reconciliation in another place!”

After hearing what Vincent said, a male Thunder Elf and a female Water Elf were shocked. They turned to look at the elder of the eight.

The elder was a Light Elf. He looked to be over 100 years old. He was the oldest elf Vincent had ever seen.

However, the light in the elder’s eyes proved that he was very healthy and strong.

The old elf said in a deep voice, his tone full of vigilance and disdain, “Outsider, we can no longer care about the grudge between us and the revenge faction elves, and we do not have the leisure to reach a settlement with them! The matter here concerns the life and death of the elves, and we do not need an outsider like you to help us!”

Vincent listened to the old man’s firm and decisive tone. He smiled disapprovingly and walked in front of the array that they had constructed. He squatted down and said softly, “Let me guess what happened last night! You must have sensed that the Origin Divine Tree in the auditorium is declining, but you don’t want to alert any elves because according to the records, when the last Origin Divine Tree decays, it will be the end of the Elf Race! You are afraid of causing panic, so you rushed to the auditorium in a hurry to stop the Origin Divine Tree from wilting. But even if you have followed the Origin Divine Tree deep underground, you are still unable to stop it from disappearing. Therefore, you could only temporarily construct an array to maintain the Origin Divine Tree that had already transformed into a seedling here, right?”

The old man clearly did not expect Vincent to explain the secrets of the Elf Race in such detail. For a moment, he was dumbstruck and did not say a word.

Vincent then said, “Matters related to the Elf Race can also be considered my duty! If you know how to save the Origin Divine Tree, you’d better tell me quickly. Perhaps I have a solution!”

The elder came back to his senses and sighed slowly. He said helplessly, “Even if I tell you, you won’t have a solution! Because only the power from the elf divine spark can revive the Origin Divine Tree again!”

Vincent immediately laughed out loud. He stood up and clapped his hands.

“In that case, things have become simple!”

As soon as he finished speaking, four halos of blue, white, yellow, and green appeared behind Vincent. A tremendous divine power instantly filled the entire underground space and shattered the array maintained by the eight elves.

The elves, who had regained their freedom, were surprised to see the sapling of the Origin Divine Tree. Even without the support of the array, it still remained in its original state and did not shrink back underground again. They immediately realized that what was floating behind Vincent was the elf divine sparks.

The eight elves immediately knelt at Vincent’s feet.

“Great God, we are your most loyal believers! Welcome back!”
