Chapter 664: Chapter 641 Wisdom and Element Mother

Gray Crow’s Residence.

On this day, there was a peculiar expression on Antoinette’s face as her eyes scanned up and down, meticulously examining a certain sorcerer, as if she no longer recognized him.

“Is there something wrong?” Ivan slightly frowned, turning to ask the person next to him, “What do you think?”

“I don’t know, I’ve never seen the kind of tree you’re talking about, nor have I ever heard of it.” Angela, suddenly questioned, waved her hand.

This Spring Goddess surely had heard of it; otherwise, she wouldn’t have reacted this way. The two couldn’t help but look at her, hoping she could provide a specific answer.

Antoinette’s expression remained unchanged.

“Do you know what kind of ancient tree it is?” After a moment, she whispered softly.

“I don’t know, that’s why I’m asking you.”

“How could you, a foreign sorcerer, possibly know?”

“I said I don’t know.”

Ivan could easily see from the Spring Goddess’s demeanor that the ancient tree he foretold was not simple. This manner suggested that things might become extraordinarily troublesome.

Thinking of the previous ‘contest for kingship,’ his head was already spinning.

However, in this world, nothing comes without risk, and he would not back down.

“You must speak truthfully; otherwise, I won’t tell you anything about that ancient tree. Don’t even think about finding out on your own. Very few people know about this matter, and you won’t meet any of them, except for this divine being.”

After some hesitation, Antoinette’s expression grew serious, solemnly expressing this.

Before she asked further questions, Ivan glanced at Angela and truthfully revealed the source of his problem.

“A prophecy from the Prophet’s Treasure Tome. In the prophecy, I might find something there that would satisfy me, hence my particular interest.”

“Prophecy?”

“A prophecy concerning important future events for this sorcerer. This is the Prophet’s Treasure Tome’s significant ability, currently triggered for the second time. The first time was already proven true.”

“Just you, a foreign sorcerer? There’s no logic here.”

Upon hearing Ivan’s words, Antoinette still felt perplexed, pursing her thin lips in constant thought.

Seeing this, the other two did not disturb her, quietly awaiting her response.

“Wood Ancestor, World Tree–have you ever heard anything?” Antoinette hesitated for over ten seconds before uttering two names, obviously referring to one creature’s two titles.

At these words, both Ivan and Angela shook their heads.

“Indeed, what you foresaw is the Wood Ancestor of Elf Plane legend–the World Tree. Let me put it this way: the birth of the World Tree predates the First Generation Four Seasons Heavenly Girl, times long past.

Reportedly, the World Tree is infinitely vast and omnipresent.

It is because of the World Tree’s invisible power that the continents of the Kingdom of Edibles can steadily float in the air, and the Jade Spirit Realm is the canopy-supported part of the World Tree, unique unto itself.

The World Tree is crucial to the Elf Plane; now you understand,” Antoinette continued her explanation.

Ivan and Angela were both astonished by her words. If what she said was true, the title ‘World Tree’ was indeed well-deserved.

However, this left Ivan with the dilemma of where to find it.

“Are you sure?” He could hardly believe it.

“Believe it if you want to, if not, then leave.” Antoinette pouted.

“I believe it,” Ivan refrained from arguing with her. After all, the origins of this World Tree were rather significant; there was truly no way to inquire further, and for now, he had to rely on her.

“Are all sorcerers this cunning?”

Antoinette gave him a sidelong glance, “The power of the World Tree is indeed everywhere, but no one can actively find the essence of the World Tree, without exception.

In the Elf Plane, only a very few beings are fated to see it, and such individuals are rare, appearing only once in a millennium.

Moreover, you are a foreign sorcerer who doesn’t belong to the Elf Plane at all; the probability of you encountering the World Tree is even more minute. Now you understand why I asked ‘how’–you were not supposed to have this qualification.”

“I see, thank you for clarifying.”

Ivan nodded lightly. He couldn’t figure out the logic within, but he trusted the Prophet’s Treasure Tome’s prophecy.

According to these words, the World Tree must be a powerful being like the ‘Mother of Earth Core’, just thinking about it made him a bit uneasy.

Seeking treasure upon such a grand figure seemed like a dream.

“Hahaha, little sorcerer, are you afraid?” Antoinette keenly detected his hesitation and unceremoniously teased him.

“Ms. Antoinette, do you happen to know something else?” Ivan looked at her speechlessly, then suddenly thought of a possibility and asked.

“Take a guess,” Antoinette feigned annoyance at having her thoughts seen through.

“I can’t guess, please don’t hesitate to enlighten me.” Ivan shook his head earnestly.

“You really are dull; this divine being indeed thought of some secrets just now, which might unravel the doubts you carry.” Finding it not worth continuing the suspense, Antoinette relented:

“I once saw in records left by a First Generation Heavenly Girl a rumor about the World Tree.

The rumor goes that the World Tree was known as ‘Qingmu Yuanmu,’ and it traveled the world alongside an elder, leaving their footprints in many places.

That elder was the embodiment of wisdom–the Wisdom Elder.

And you, little sorcerer, if my guess is correct, should be one of the chosen inheritors by the Wisdom Elder. In other words, you are a descendant of Qingmu Yuanmu’s old acquaintance, which is why she is looking after you.”
