The inevitable had arrived. She knew these three would find her eventually, especially since they were gods and she had become infamous throughout the universe. Being found was a certainty.
However, she wasn't strong enough to fight them right now, and she had more important matters to attend to.
The three stood waiting for her, intending to explain the recent events and ask her to become the Saintess, preferably immediately heading to the Divine Temple to restart everything and awaken all the gods.
But in the next moment…
They saw her hands move in a flurry, the cube immediately turned around, and she bolted!
In the blink of an eye, she vanished into the vastness of space like a shooting star…
She… ran?!
This wouldn't do. They had finally found her trace again!
Following suit, the three stood on the cube and gave chase! This pursuit, however, led them to discover something rather quickly…
She seemed to be more familiar with piloting the cube than they were! Her speed was astonishing, and when they finally caught up, she even performed a spatial jump!
The cold-faced envoy at the forefront, his brow twitching fiercely!
“Wait! You…”
Before he could finish, a large mass of light pink energy surged forward, heading straight for his face on the cube!
The cold-faced envoy, who was piloting the cube, tensed. He immediately leaped into the cube, his face ashen as he glared ahead, gritting his teeth.
“Power of the Great Dao?! Time…”
Was she trying to kill him? Their divine race controlled all the laws of the universe, and the only things that could harm them were the power of laws and the power of rules. Among the rules of the Great Dao, the rule of time was the most heaven-defying!
This woman possessed such a capability too?
Could she truly be the reincarnation of the Mother Goddess?
While he was pondering, Jin Bao'er had already made three jumps, leaving the trio far behind! Her trajectory gradually curved around an unnamed star…
They… couldn't catch up anymore!
How laughable! The legendary travel tool of the gods was being so smoothly controlled by a non-god!
He suddenly felt that this person couldn't be the Mother Goddess. That being was aloof and noble; she would never flee from enemies in such a cowardly manner as this woman, let alone launch a sneak attack! Truly shameless.
Jin Bao'er paid no mind to his thoughts. She had just discovered the cube's teleportation function herself! The last time she was suddenly teleported to Iron Star right after leaving Blue Star was due to her mistaken operation, inadvertently activating the spatial jump function!
However, she wasn't prepared that time and almost ended up as a pulp. This time was different! She controlled it with ease, as if she had been using it for a long time…
Of course, this was just a metaphor. She had never actually seen such a miraculous item before!
The cube zipped through the universe, and after some time, she finally heard the baby's voice say, "We're here!"
Jin Bao'er decisively steered the cube downwards, and the two of them, along with the sphere, landed quickly…
It was a lush planet teeming with vegetation. Grasslands and large trees covered almost half the area. The sunlight was bright, and the air was filled with the fragrance of grass and soil…
The little girl, nestled in Jin Bao'er's arms, looked around curiously and concluded:
"This place looks so much like the Elf Continent!"
Indeed, a faint spiritual energy permeated the surroundings. Although not dense, the pure spiritual energy was identical to the baby's!
Jin Bao'er lowered her gaze.
"Weren't the Dark Elves supposed to be expelled? The spiritual energy here is so pure!"
The baby shook her head, looking bewildered…
The black iron sphere hovered in front of them, its stance like a guardian as it scanned their surroundings! Its small size and body belied any apparent strength, yet it exuded an inexplicable sense of reliability!
She extended her divine sense, but after a few breaths, she couldn't detect any elves.
The baby mimicked her action, perceiving for a while before indicating a direction with a furrowed brow.
"There are many elves here, but I don't know which one is the one you're looking for!"
She nodded and, channeling her spiritual power, took flight! After all, beings that her divine sense couldn't perceive could be at any distance!
With that, she casually picked up the black iron sphere, placed it in the baby's arms, and flew forward with the girl and the sphere! With preparation, she found the weight manageable!
In the distance, a group of small, winged elves sat together, praying devoutly and humbly before a tall stone statue! The leading elf, ancient and saintly, sat quietly to the side…
Today was the day the elves performed their monthly prayer.
Years of habit had become an indelible mark etched into their very bones.
Long, long ago, on this very day, they were spurned by their faith! They left their ancestral homeland and could never return.
And today, all the elves gathered at the Elf Forest simultaneously, to thank heaven for bringing their companion back alive.
Among the elves, a familiar face lifted, suddenly filled with indignation!
"Grandpa Fal, why do we still have to kneel to the Elf King? They abandoned us, didn't they? It’s been tens of thousands of years, and we've been displaced and homeless. Now that we finally have our own home, why must we still pray to them? Even the Elf Tree doesn't allow us to kneel!"
The little elf's sudden outburst momentarily stunned the old elf, who then darkened his expression and glared sternly at him!
"What nonsense are you spouting? Because you've just returned, I won't punish you. Quickly apologize to the Elf King!"
As he spoke, he immediately looked respectfully towards the "Elf King" he mentioned! A man of breathtaking beauty, noble, compassionate, and with an elegant, shallow smile – a magnificent figure!
His appearance… was unmistakably identical to the Elf King Jin Bao'er had seen before!
Jin Bao'er arrived at this moment, observing the scene, which was adorned exactly like the Elf Hall. She fell into a moment of silence… and then overheard this remark! The baby in her arms was also silent, her face grave…
"I won't! We pray every month, year after year, but what's the result? The Elf Tree doesn't care about us at all, not even a hint of recall! They kicked us out like trash, so why should we grovel and continue to believe in it?"
"Grandpa, look at yourself. You're old! But true elves don't age. Even after death, the Elf Tree bestows new life. But what about us? In the end, we can only disappear into the universe!!"
Even his original act of running away from home was based on the words of the Dean of the Academy of Prodigies, believing he could truly find the Elf Tree and return home!
But what happened in the end? He was trapped underground for thousands of years by that academy dean. The person who finally saved him held the Elf Heart, which he longed to see in his dreams! So adorable, so pure! Even its spiritual energy was so pure…
But it wasn't meant to recall the Dark Elves…
