Chapter 536: What Year Is Today?(3)
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Lady Marianne, if youre referring to the godly war that once swept across the entire world, where followers of various races clashed, then that war has long ended.
Perhaps to put it into perspective, that godly war concluded tens of thousands of years ago. The deities of both the Order and Barbarian factions, as you mentioned, vanished from this world after that war, and the outside world has long become the realm of ordinary races.
Marianne and many other elders of Vale displayed looks of incredulity. How is that even possible!?
Observing their expressions, Ji Chen patiently explained.
As he narrated, the elven elders expressions shifted from skepticism to shock, then from shock to bewilderment, eventually settling into silence as they struggled to digest this immensely profound revelation.
B0xo.comHowever, some of the elves, perhaps due to the sheer magnitude of this information, openly expressed disbelief. They even suspected Ji Chen of being a spy sent to undermine their resolve by fabricating false information.
Their apparent unwillingness to believe the truth, though known to be factual, left Ji Chen somewhat bemused. It reminded him of a war movie from Earth, where soldiers from a nation held a small island against all odds. Regardless of how the enemy or allies tried to explain, they refused to accept that the war had already ended, convinced it was a deceitful ruse created by the enemy, persisting in their resistance.
These elves trapped within this mystic realm appeared to share a similar sentiment.
Thats roughly the situation. The godly war has indeed concluded, and everything Ive said is true. Whether you believe it or not depends entirely on you, Ji Chen stated.
The elven elders bore complex emotions on their faces, emotions too intricate to be expressed in words. Their hearts were in turmoil.
Every elf present here was at least eight centuries old, but in relation to the time that had passed since that war, which had affected countless realms, including the main world, their lifetimes seemed as insignificant as grains of sand.
Since their birth, they were taught to remain faithful to their beliefs, upholding the ideology of the godly war.
Over centuries, this belief had grown ever more deeply entrenched in their hearts. Now, to suddenly learn that what they had clung to was falsehood rendered their long-held convictions meaningless. It was a bitter pill to swallow, and anyone would struggle to accept it in such a short span of time.
Ji Chen could somewhat empathize with their emotions and couldnt help feeling a pang of nostalgia.
After a lengthy pause, Marianne composed herself and spoke with a bitter smile, I believe you, Lord Ji Chen. You didnt travel all this way to this frozen wasteland just to deceive us with a lie.
In truth, our previous generation of elders had a suspicion long ago but lacked sufficient information to confirm it. The fact is, we havent received divine revelations for a very long time, and that part is undeniably true. The only explanation could indeed be what youve mentioned.
You believe as you see fit.
Marianne seemed to have eased a bit, and she continued, Thank you for sharing this with us. You took the initiative to contact Arlin and express your intention to visit us, old folks. I assume you have something youd like our assistance with. If its within our power, well certainly offer our full support.
Ji Chen felt relieved and nodded, saying, Indeed, 1 do have something Id like your help with.
Do you happen to know of a relic left behind by a deity on this frozen wilderness, one imbued with the power of the ocean?
A glimmer of clarity appeared in Mariannes hazy eyes.
Lord Ji Chen, are you seeking to obtain that item?
Ji Chen, now understanding the situation, brightened and nodded.
Hehe, we do indeed know about the relic you mentioned.
