In the deepest part of Shen Yun Forest, there is a forbidden area shrouded in fog.
Legend has it that there stands an ancient door, which leads to...
It is a mysterious core area that no one has ever set foot in.
Or perhaps it is an exotic door connecting to other worlds.
In the ancient legend, seven kings ended the Age of Gods.
This continent was once the intersection of the multiverse, and portals to many worlds such as the Demon Realm, the Elemental Realm, the God Realm, and the Void Realm were all opened here.
However, ever since the gods left, the portals to other worlds have been blocked by invisible forces.
Only this lonely and mysterious door is left.
Today, in front of this door, towering buildings rise from the ground, as if competing with the heaven and earth for glory.
Hundreds of goblins were busy shuttling back and forth in it.
They wielded tools, carried stones, and built tirelessly.
This place has become a huge construction site.
"Hey, over there! The palace must be built to be majestic and beautiful, do you hear me?"
Goblin General Xuan gave orders loudly, his voice echoing across the construction site.
Many goblins responded one after another, speeding up and not daring to slack off in the slightest.
At this moment, the space suddenly fluctuated and a figure appeared out of thin air.
It was Goblin General Tian. He had sharp eyes and scanned everything around him.
"How about it?"
Tian inquired, a hint of urgency in his voice.
"Short of people."
Xuan answered concisely, his brows furrowed, obviously not satisfied with the current progress.
Tian frowned.
"So, you asked me to come here just for this kind of thing?"
There was a hint of displeasure in his tone.
"What else?" Xuan asked, "You can see the current situation. We are in urgent need of manpower."
Tian was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke:
"Who to arrest this time?"
There was helplessness and determination in his voice.
"The Black Wolf Clan and the Grizzly Bear Clan have been captured."
Xuan paused and continued.
"Next, let's catch the wild boar man."
Hearing this, Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, and he seemed to be thinking about something.
Then, he suddenly asked:
"What about those ghost people? How are they now?"
"They are a race that gave birth to a 'king' just like us."
Xuan chuckled.
"Ghost tribe? You don't have to worry about them. Di and Huang have already gone there. I believe there will be a result soon."
Tian nodded, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"Oh"
Goblin General Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, that guy finally came out.
"Yes!"
Goblin General Xuan looked at the sky with a teasing look in his eyes and continued.
"And, very strong."
"Yeah, I'm leaving."
Goblin General Tian ignored Xuan, turned around, waved at him, and left.
Staring at the disappearing figure of Goblin General Tian, Goblin General Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a dangerous arc appeared at the corner of his mouth...
. . .
In the deepest part of Shen Yun Forest.
It is a vast and desolate grassland.
The endless green is filled with deathly silence and coldness, giving people an eerie feeling.
A tall and mighty man stood in the wind, looking into the distance.
There was not a single sign of life on the grassland; even the cries of birds and animals could rarely be heard.
This place seems like a dead place.
But this cannot stop its charm, because this land gave birth to a magical plant.
——The tree of life.
It takes root in the soil, absorbs the essence of all things, and grows into a towering tree.
And the only thing it absorbs -
It is blood and soul.
"hold on"
The man gently stroked the huge tree beside him.
He murmured, with a hint of anticipation and fanaticism in his voice.
Suddenly, he raised his head.
A figure appeared silently behind him.
This figure was very short, only about meters tall. She had pointed ears and silver hair that flowed down to her waist and fell on both sides of her body.
There was a dark light flowing in a pair of green eyes.
She has a very beautiful appearance, with crystal clear skin and delicate features.
Especially those blue eyes, which are as bright and dazzling as gems, making people unable to help but fall into them.
Her temperament is elegant and noble, and she exudes a sacred aura.
"came back?"
The girl lowered her head and stood timidly in front of the man, with her hands tightly clasped together, as if she was very afraid of the tall and mighty man in front of her.
Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, almost inaudible:
"me……"
"sorry."
The girl finally plucked up the courage and said these three words.
"Didn't I say that?"
The man frowned and looked at the girl seriously.
His eyes were deep and sharp, as if he could see into people's hearts. Hearing the girl's voice, he frowned and said in a deep voice:
"No apologies!"
The girl's body trembled slightly and tears welled up in her eyes.
She bit her lip, as if she wanted to say something, but it ended up as a sob.
"You are my subject! How can a king apologize to his subject?"
The man's voice became even more severe, but there was a barely perceptible tenderness in his eyes.
"Yes, I'm sorry..."
The girl couldn't hold back her tears anymore.
Her voice was choked with sobs, filled with endless grievance and helplessness.
Tears dripped onto the weeds, and the tender, emerald green buds quickly sprouted branches and leaves, and then bloomed into beautiful buds.
He sighed and reached out to gently wipe the tears from the girl's cheeks.
His movements were gentle and delicate, as if he was afraid of hurting her. He said softly and comforted her:
"Don't cry, dear~"
Upon hearing this, the girl immediately burst into laughter.
She raised her head and looked at the man with tearful eyes, as if she wanted to throw herself into his arms.
However, the man dodged gently.
Just when the girl was about to fall, a small sapling suddenly emerged from the ground and held her up steadily.
"Seth..."
The girl cried out with a look of grievance, her voice full of dependence and coquettishness.
On the ground, lush green plants swayed their branches slowly, as if responding to the girl's call.
The man looked at the girl's aggrieved expression and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm down his emotions.
"You are the king."
The man emphasized again, his voice revealing an unquestionable majesty.
"I, I'm not..."
The girl bit her lip and tears welled up again.
She looked into the man's deep eyes, and the grievance and confusion in her heart surged like a tide.
Seth felt very distressed when he saw the girl's tearful eyes.
But he knew that he couldn't pick her up and comfort her.
Because he is the king and he is the subject.
There is an unbridgeable gap between them.
"I am your subject"
“You can command me”
"I do not want"
The girl shook her head.
"why"
“You are my friend”
"I'm not"
"Who are you"
"Hey"
Seth sighed, shook his head and walked out.
"Seth, where are you going?!"
"It's very dangerous outside now!"
“The time has come for me to go out”
Seth gave the girl a gentle smile.
"Rest assured, my king"
"I will return"
Seth looked a little lost.
Because, she is the only one left here again. (End of this chapter)
