The sun rises and falls, and as time goes by, dusk covers the earth again.

The clouds surged, obscuring the stars and the moon, the cold atmosphere spread and chaos spread.

Above the sky, a huge magic array composed of ten rings is like a gear, and there is a [meaning] engraved from ancient runes in the middle of each halo.

Floods, volcanoes, earthquakes, eternal nights, strong winds, meteorites, droughts, blizzards, tsunamis and dust fog.

The name of [Ten Disasters] flashes at the top of the sky, and now, among the two brightest auras, they represent [dust mist] and [eternal night]. Therefore, the haze composed of countless dust and clouds all over the sky cover the entire world, and the turbid air absorbs all the light.

Even the sun, moon, and stars are dim.

Except for the roar of thunder across the night sky, there was no sound in the whole world. Purple lightning shone through the earth. The original cities and villages were only left with pale ruins. Except for the most closely defended province in the Bay Central District, the other areas were all destroyed.

Even the Central District was in panic because of the disappearance of the commander, the supreme leader. They retreated in an all-out manner and defended with the help of the peaks and permanent fortifications underground.

A tense atmosphere lingers in the underground communication room, and a correspondent called out to other provinces in vain, but they are destined to have no response. All they have left is their own response, sharp noise and meaningless buzz.

"This is the Bay Central District, call Delang Province, please respond!"

"This is the Bay Central District, call Babel Province, please respond!"

“This is the bay…”

“…”

Gradually, all the correspondents stopped their actions, looked at each other, smiled bitterly, and then closed the communication station with trembling hands.

These people discovered a terrible truth. Perhaps they are the only ones left in this world.

In just three days and two nights, since the undersea volcano erupted in Sapphire Harbor and the arrival of the Apocalypse Array, bringing countless stone demons, the whole world was captured by the power of chaos, millions of lives died in an instant, cities were destroyed, civilizations were trampled on, and there were no screams or wails on the earth now, because all those who made noises had lost their lives. Only the elves who lived in the shelter deep underground covered their mouths, shivered, and waited for death in despair.

After roughly eliminating all life on the surface of the earth, the stone demons began to move in a certain direction. Their steps were uniform, which made people feel frightened. The steps of tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of magic puppets shaking like an earthquake, causing the earth to tremble.

And their target is the mountain range filled with blue light.

Mountains of origin.

And just when most of the elves stayed in the last shelter and were afraid to go out or even dared to fight, there was a team of elves still wandering outside.

On the elite aerial boat dedicated to the commander, the guards were still above the capital of the last dynasty, waiting for the return of Urken Uranor, the highest leader of the contemporary elves.

Just after the commander disappeared into the depths of this ruins alone, not long after, a fresh wind rose from the depths of the mountains, turning all the stone demons into stone statues wrapped in vines and grass. They firmly believed that this strange image was triggered by the commander. He must have taken advantage of the time when the elements are dense, and activated some ancient weapons left by the elves that could not be activated due to lack of magic power.

Moreover, as the holy land in the mythology and legend of the Ilgna Elves, there must be some great secrets behind it. Although they do not believe in the mysterious rumors, they still have some subtle hopes.

But before the commander returned, the guards first discovered a huge creature moving forward in the distance, but because of the dust and mist in the sky, they could not see clearly what it was.

"What's that?"

"Stone Demon?"

"The stone demons should be all imprisoned..."

"It's not imprisoned? Isn't it a stone demon?"

They had a quick conversation with each other, but no one knew what the figure hidden in the smoke and dust in the distance was. At the beginning of the disaster, these guards came to the Origin Mountains with Urken, so they naturally didn't know what was happening outside.

Only one guard who had been following the commander vaguely guessed a possibility. He hesitated and said hesitantly: "You guys say, could it be that?"

"What?" the others asked in a daze, and they urged: "Speak quickly."

Shaking his head and being urged by his companions, the guard could only express his own guess: "You said, could it be a volcanic dragon?"

Joshua and his group had approached the Origin Mountains.

“This place is completely different from other places!”

Loranda quickly realized that this place was different from other parts of the Ilgna world. He stood up from his black back and looked around in surprise at the surrounding environment and the dusty clouds everywhere. Compared with other places where the plants and trees withered, the Origin Mountains were filled with the breath of life. Whether it was the wind or the swaying plants and leaves, they were full of vitality, which made the Paladin, who had been in a region eroded by chaos for a long time, suddenly came to the bright sunshine from the dark shadows.

In addition, the blonde paladin discovered something strange. Through the sensing of the holy light, he noticed that countless souls were gathering from all directions and then sank into the depths of the mountain range. Loranda couldn't help but remember what he discovered when he was saving local elves in Babel Province.

Although full of resentment towards the stone demon, the spirit's soul did not reside in the area of ​​his own death, but was called away by some force. Now it seems that the power is located in the mountains of origin, and maybe it is the "soul of the Forest" mentioned by Qiao Xiuya.

He was not wrong.

Joshua could also see the soul light floating in the sky. The souls of these elves after their death were full of unwillingness, helplessness, resentment and at a loss. A few days ago, these people were still living a stable life, but now, they all died, dead in the hands of the stone demon. Everything was so sudden that all elves could not accept their death. They would have become earth-bound spirits and resented all living lives, but now, they have come here with the guidance of the souls of the Forest.

In the slightly flashing blue light of life, the resentment of the resentful spirits was purified, and the pure souls were sank into the earth and deep into the ground.

Hei also followed his instinctive guidance and rushed towards the center of the mountains. Between the jungle, he could vaguely see the huge remains of stone statues and the stone path that had long been covered with vines and moss. This was the capital of the Elf Dynasty. Even if no one has set foot in the past century, it still has a magnificent remains.

Soon after, they came to a city ruin that was burned by a fire.

It is full of weeds, piles of charred stones and wrecks of buildings, and ivy and shrubs are wrapped around it. The wind whistles through the remains, blowing a shrill sound among the ruins.

"It's here."

Joshua issued an order to stop Hei from running. He turned around and then said, "Now, we just need to wait."

"But there is only a ruin left here..."

Standing at the edge of his black back, the silver-haired girl frowned and looked around, but she found nothing except the wreckage of the tower and the hall. Rin was also observing, but he had sharp eyes and found something special. There was a huge statue in the ruins of a hall, and the image of this statue seemed to be an ancient tree supporting the heaven and earth.

"Ancient tree?"

The boy's mind was always a little faster than his sister. Lin said to himself thoughtfully: "The Soul of the Forest..."

He seemed to have guessed something.

"When will we wait?"

After more than ten minutes passed, Lorenda couldn't help but feel a little anxious. His original patience was not so unbearable, but the anxious sense of crisis had always made him unable to wait. Joshua shrugged, and he watched the sky's soul light flow into the earth one by one, and said calmly: "Our friends are still dealing with some important things now. Don't worry, it keeps watching us, just wait for it to take action."

On the airship, the elves clearly saw Joshua and his group enter the Origin Mountains. They watched each other move forward quickly and even reach the center of the mountain.

"It's the volcano dragon! There's still someone on his back!"

"What are they doing there? Does anyone know where is it?"

The sharp-eyed guard quickly discovered the identity of the half dragon, but there were only a few people on its back that didn't have time to see clearly. Many people were curious about where the volcanic dragon went.

“I know where it is.”

It happened that a middle-aged guard knew where it was. The elves, who looked much more mature than other young and powerful guards, frowned and said, "It is the mother tree of the elves dynasty, where the former Grand Temple is... What did the Volcano Dragon do in that place? Does it also believe in the mother tree?"

Speaking of this, he smiled and shook his head and denied, "Maybe he just ran there casually. After all, the entire world is now the safest mountain range in the Origin."

This may be the case. Even if some people were curious about the whereabouts of the half dragon, most of the other guards did not have the extra energy to pay attention to what the volcanic dragon wanted to do. They watched each other stayed at the original ruins of the Great Temple, but had no idea of ​​communicating.

The Origin Mountains returned to silence, leaving only the wind blowing through the forests and the sound of tides surging among the sea of ​​trees.

This peace was till more than ten minutes later, the earth began to buzz.

Under the shocked gaze of the elves on the airship, the earth shook slowly. Starting from the ruins of the Great Temple in the center of the mountain, the mountain slowly cracked a gap, and countless tentacles like tree roots disappeared in the gaps between mud and stones. They wriggled and tore the earth, revealing a strange and huge underground cave hidden under the peak.

In the cave, countless green balls of light flashed with light, floating in the air, bringing a fresh and bitter wind after another.
