I Picked Up Talents in the Interstellar Battlefield

chapter 181 - The Power Inheritance Ceremony Begins


“Qin Tian has already entered Silver Moon Lake.”The Princess looked into the distance and said calmly.A smile appeared on Therandil’s lips; Qin Tian had helped him so much, and now he could finally reciprocate.“Sister, I’m ready.”Therandil’s smile faded as he looked at the Princess with solemnity.The Princess sighed inwardly as she looked at his resolute eyes; if it weren’t for the dire circumstances, she truly didn’t want Therandil to bear such a heavy responsibility.However, only Therandil could accomplish this task; others, even she, were powerless.“Let’s go.”The Princess turned around and led Therandil towards the Tree God.A short while later, they arrived at the base of the Tree God, a towering Tree God tens of thousands of meters high, like Buzhou Mountain standing between heaven and earth, reaching straight into the clouds. Its roots swelled like winding mountain ranges, and spiritual energy condensed into a faint golden mist, swirling around the Tree God, like a fairyland.“Aurelia, Therandil, you’ve arrived.”An aged voice came from ahead, and a figure was faintly discernible in the mist.“Grandfather.”The Princess and Therandil bowed in unison.As the mist dispersed, an aged Elf appeared.It was an elderly Elf; his golden hair had lost its luster and turned pale, and his face was carved by wind and frost. Yet, his clear blue eyes were as limpid as a stream. When he looked at them, both the siblings could feel the loneliness and majesty that spanned millennia—the immortal glory settled deep within his soul after countless wars and periods of peace.“Aurelia, how is the Elf Race faring now?”The aged Elf King asked slowly.The Princess replied, “Grandfather, the Dark Elves have currently occupied over sixty percent of Elf Star’s forests. More and more of our people are sacrificing themselves. However, recently, we launched a counterattack with the humans and reclaimed some of the forests.”Hearing this, the Old Elf King fell silent for a moment, then sighed softly:“Child, you’ve worked hard.”Upon hearing this, a touch of sorrow welled up in the Princess’s heart. Her parents had died in battle, her grandfather was severely injured, and her younger brother was still young.At that time, she, having just come of age, took on the heavy burden of the Silver Moon Royal Family and even the entire Elf Race.That pressure and bitterness, she had nowhere to express, and could only swallow it alone.“Therandil, since you’ve come here, it means you’re ready.”The Old Elf King looked at Therandil.Therandil nodded, his eyes filled with determination: “Grandfather, I am ready!”“Good, Therandil, you’ve come here a few years earlier than I expected. It seems a lot must have happened to you.”The Old Elf King slowly raised his hand and said, “Child, come. I will transmit all of my power to you.From now on, you will be the new King of the Elf Race.”Therandil walked towards the Old Elf King with resolute steps. Before, he had always avoided this matter for many reasons.Firstly, at /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ the moment the power transmission ended, his beloved grandfather would also lose his life, which he did not want to see.Secondly, he felt that even if he gained the power, he would find it difficult to bear the immense responsibility of the Elf King.Finally, he worried that once he became the new King, he would have conflicts with his sister over power.For all these reasons, he had been avoiding and unwilling to face this matter.However, during the battles of these past few days, he saw too many of his people tragically die at the hands of the Dark Elves, and the beautiful forests polluted and destroyed. Their homeland, which they relied on for survival, became riddled with holes.The tragic state of his people and homeland made him determined that he must resolve this century-long turmoil and restore Elf Star to its former peace and tranquility.Therandil sat before the Old Elf King.The Old Elf King raised his hand and placed it on Therandil’s forehead. Immediately after, a emerald green light began to emerge.Whoosh~In an instant, strong winds surged.The dome-like tree canopy cast down colorful rays, enveloping Therandil and the Old Elf King within them.The power transmission is not a simple process of infusing spiritual power into the body; it is a very complex process that not only requires the two parties’ powers to be of the same origin but also requires the participation of the Tree God.The Princess is female, and her power does not completely match that of the Old Elf King, but Therandil meets this condition.Looking at the two blurred figures within the glowing light, the Princess stood in place, dazed for a long time, finally leaving behind a sorrowful sigh in the wind.In the Volcano Mercenary Group’s tent at the front line, the atmosphere was heavy. Huo Lianshan looked coldly at the vice-captain, Ji Liang, and said:“What’s going on? In just a few days, thirty percent of your men have died, Ji Liang, how exactly are you leading this team?”Ji Liang’s face was ashen. He also couldn’t understand it; recently, his team and the entire Volcano Mercenary Group seemed to have been cursed with bad luck, with accidents happening every day.Some people ate poisonous fruit and were poisoned to death.Some accidentally stepped into the Dark Elves’ traps, and their entire force was wiped out.Others mysteriously disappeared, leaving no trace behind.Initially, he thought someone was secretly targeting the Volcano Mercenary Group, but after several days of observation, he found no clues, as if they were just having bad luck.“Boss, I will make reforms. This kind of thing will never happen again.” Ji Liang composed himself and promised.Huo Lianshan looked at him coldly, “Ji Liang, a major event is imminent. The Volcano Mercenary Group cannot afford any more losses.” “Yes.”Ji Liang straightened his body and promised.Just then, exclamations came from outside.Huo Lianshan frowned slightly and immediately went out to check.He saw that the ancient Tree God in the distance was stretching its branches, and colorful light was showering down, as if a colorful waterfall was falling.At this moment, the ancient trees in the forest swayed slightly, and their leaves rustled, as if responding to the Tree God’s call.“The ritual has begun.”Huo Lianshan’s eyes changed, and then a cold curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.It’s finally starting. He had been preparing for so many years, waiting for this very moment today.“Boss!”Ji Liang looked at Huo Lianshan, a hint of black energy flashing in his eyes. In the entire Volcano Mercenary Group, only Huo Lianshan and he knew about that plan.The plan that was enough to annihilate the Silver Moon Royal Family.“No rush, the ritual has just begun. We need to deliver a fatal blow at the most crucial moment.”Huo Lianshan waved his hand and looked up into the distance.The power transmission is a very complex process. According to Elf tradition, it will last at least two days.Acting now, although it would interrupt the ritual, the Old Elf King would still retain most of his combat power.But if they act at the end of the power transmission, both the new and old Kings will fall, and the Elf Race will lose its spiritual totem, losing all power to resist, and this planet will become a lost paradise for all evil god believers.“Yes.”“The ritual, deliver a fatal blow.”In a hidden corner in the distance, Feng Mocuan used his super hearing to eavesdrop on the conversation between Huo Lianshan and Ji Liang.He frowned slightly, looked at the Tree God in the distance, and immediately reported this news to Qin Tian.
