Chapter 248: I Have a Dream (Two in One)

In the Ancient Tree World, the entire planet was covered by eleven towering ancient trees, resembling eleven pillars supporting the heavens and the earth. Below them were numerous strange ancient trees of purple, red, and emerald green hues. Though ancient and weathered, and not even one percent the height of the Eternal Life Ancient Tree, they still appeared lush and verdant.

Within the Night Elf tribe, Mumu slowly opened his eyes. After this experience, she completely let go of her inner turmoil and no longer worried excessively about becoming a woman. She had, after all, understood that it was a rule of this world: anyone wishing to assume a human form must do so through a Life Ancient Tree, and would inevitably become a female elf.

This was a monopoly! It was an unspoken agreement among the eleven Life Ancient Trees. Although they vied for dominance, they absolutely forbade the emergence of male elves, preventing the elves from reproducing independently and their tree guard teams from escaping control. This way, the elves would have no need to protect their mothers.

Mumu quickly organized her thoughts. "My mind is at ease now. The Life Ancient Trees monopolize the entire era. While the elves appear free, it's still the various Life Ancient Trees playing a strategic game of chess." A greater restlessness and expectation swelled within her.

He suddenly recalled the primeval ancient gods of the Primordial World, who had monopolized their entire era. As a member of the Night Elf tribe, he would have to protect the Night Elf Ancient Tree and contribute to its development, just like all other elves. He suddenly declared, "My ultimate goal is to find a way to trick the Elf Life Ancient Tree during a future altar rebirth, to become a male elf hero. Then, I will be the only man in the entire world, free to do as I please... I'll also become a peace-loving chef and travel the world..."

"I must become a man! If I can become a man, I'll be able to propagate a new race in this world." His eyes shone brighter and brighter. Perhaps this wave of humiliation, becoming a female elf, was not in vain! Enduring hardship now is for the sake of realizing any man's ultimate dream! Although he possessed an enchanting figure, it could not deter his grand dream of regaining his male body and then cooking delicacies by the roadside! To achieve this, he would have to overthrow the absolute rule of the eleven Elf Ancient Trees!

Soon, he silently buried this ambition deep in his heart and began to communicate with the Life Ancient Tree.

"Conquer the other Elf Ancient Trees? Good!" The Life Ancient Tree received the proposal once again and had no reason to refuse; in fact, it eagerly welcomed it. This particular Life Ancient Tree no longer used the harvested elf corpses to produce life fruits, but instead, stored them as energy reserves for the tribe.

And what would be used to store this energy? One by one, ancient stone wells were gradually established within the tribe. The Life Ancient Tree connected its roots to the bottom of these wells, continuously transporting energy, transforming them into water wells where the liquid was rich in energy, serving as a supply for waging elf wars.

"Energy Wells."

A beautiful and elegant woman stood overlooking the elf tribe, draped in a dark green cloak, gazing up at the sky. "This distant ancient era will eventually become an ancient epic of this world. How will future generations record me?" He recalled the ancient poems of the Wizard World and the Primordial World, scenes of heroic legends and anthems of courage that had ushered in new eras, sung by countless future generations. Now, he was becoming a part of the history of a distant mythical age. That profound sense of history and weathered antiquity filled him with a touch of emotion.

She suddenly spoke, "What exactly lies above the firmament? The boundless energy... I've asked the Night Life Ancient Tree, but it never told me, only saying that it wasn't for me to know." Above the dappled, sun-drenched canopy of leaves was a mysterious and alluring unknown world.

"Is it the moon? The sun? The stars?" Yumia murmured repeatedly, finally settling. "Since the energy for this well comes from the firmament, then let's call it the Moon Well." The name 'Moon Well' also symbolized his dream of yearning for the firmament. Whether it truly reflected the moon in the well remained to be seen.

She began concocting poisoned potions and crafting poisoned weapons. The Night Elf tribe already possessed a natural swiftness for phantom-like movement and night vision in darkness. From that day forward, they fully transformed into assassins of the shadowy night, with every tribe member becoming an outstanding night killer. She procured water from the Moon Well and manufactured energy potions from it, which served to restore physical strength. She also began brewing life potions to create healing medicine. She designated a War Ancient Tree to serve as the tribe's store, selling three types of potions and various weapons, effectively becoming the Night Elf tribe's Knowledge Ancient Tree. A civilization cannot exist without chroniclers; for any history, whether right or wrong, only through the lessons learned by future generations of their own race can a broader path be forged. Any advancement and success of a civilization are built upon the foundations laid by its predecessors. A civilization without a past is akin to one without a future.

Finally, she created a third type of potion, the Fiery Blast Potion, made from her own foot skin. It was extremely dangerous, not only harming enemies but potentially injuring the user as well. Upon opening, it emitted an intensely terrifying aura and was typically not given to the elves for use.

"It's terrifying! Yumia's elf aura can be made into a potion? This is the terrifying power of a dragon's aura, something fundamentally impossible!" Upon hearing this news, many Night Elves grew even more envious of her perfect divine feet, which possessed forbidden power.

Half a month later, they set out and attacked the Water Elf tribe. They cut down trees to build a large ship, then, under the cover of night, sailed to a small island in the lake. This world was illuminated by an artificial sun created by Di Qi. It rotated around the planet within the protective dao spell of his body. The ancient trees...
