What appeared in front of Xu Sheng's eyes was a scene he had never seen before.
On a snow-white ice sheet, there are towering peaks. Going south, a basin appears. Going further south, you can see a lush forest. Under the forest, there is a winding stream. The stream gurgled.
Xu Sheng was stunned by the beautiful scene.
He has no memory, but he has instinct.
A voice told him, look, keep looking.
"Does it look good?"
A faint voice came from the front.
Before Xu Sheng had time to respond, his eyes went dark and all the light disappeared.
Then a soft object pressed against him.
"Well."
The mouth is blocked.
Then I felt colder and colder, and my body became lighter and lighter.
Silence is better than sound.
The bright moon is bright and the heaven and earth are shaking.
…
who I am? where am I? What am I doing?
When consciousness returned, three more questions appeared in Xu Sheng's mind.
Huh? What is this? Why is it so soft?
He squeezed subconsciously.
"Hmm~"
With a cry, his body trembled, and he turned his head to look to the side. What he saw was an extremely delicate face, with ears that were pointier than humans.
Elf, a word appeared in his mind.
Then he remembered where he was.
He is currently in an elf village, to be precise, an elf village without men.
I still haven't remembered who I am.
As for what you are doing...
Already done.
Now he felt like he had transformed into a sage and began to think about the true meaning of life - although he was already thinking about it, he thought more about it this time.
"Why did you wake up? Aren't you tired when you arrived so late last night?"
Afulei raised her head sleepily, her delicate side face facing Xu Sheng, which reminded Xu Sheng of many scenes, and he couldn't help but breathe a little heavily.
"Tired? I'm not tired. I feel like I'm in good spirits now and can walk a long way."
Xu Sheng didn't know what lying meant, so he told his truest feelings.
"Ah! Are you so powerful?"
Afle's face turned red, but then she became even more happy. The better the physique of the opposite sex in front of her, the better it would be for their village. After all, there were so many people in the village.
In the blink of an eye, sixty years have passed.
Xu Sheng changed from a young man to a white-haired old man.
Behind him, there were many elves standing, some big and some small.
Many familiar faces are standing here, such as Afrey and Elise, who still maintain their appearance sixty years ago.
Compared with humans, the racial talents of elves are so superior. For humans, sixty years may be most of their lives or a lifetime, but for them, it is only a short period of time.
"Chen, you don't have to follow us, your body..." Afrey stood next to Xu Sheng worriedly.
They didn't know Xu Sheng's name, so they named him one by themselves.
Chen, which means morning light, is the one who brings them the first ray of light.
Although Xu Sheng is over eighty years old, his spirit is still strong and his appearance of old age does not affect his abundant energy.
However, no matter how energetic he is, he will be affected by his racial quality. Not only can he feel it, but the elves also know that his end is approaching.
"My body is strong enough to support me. As you know, I have never lacked energy." Xu Sheng chuckled. Although he had no memories of the past, he had learned all kinds of knowledge in the sixty years he had been with the elves. .
If you ignore his own race, he is no different from an elf now.
What's even more amazing is that more than forty years ago, he had been recognized by the Elf Holy Tree and had the same status as other elves.
He even felt a will... He could turn into an elf fruit after death, and when mature, he could be reborn as a baby.
However, Xu Sheng was not very happy about this, because previous examples have shown that after rebirth, there is no memory of the 'previous life', and there is even no similarity from the inside to the outside. It is a completely different individual.
It was said to be rebirth, but what he felt was a new flower growing out of the remains of the dead.
"Yes, we know it." Afrey thought of a lot at once and nodded with a blush on her face.
Elise and others next to her had the same reaction.
The elf children behind looked at them with some curiosity. They were naive and didn't know much about the adult world.
In fact, from a utilitarian point of view, Xu Sheng's influence on the Elf Tribe was not great, whether he existed or died.
In the past sixty years, there have been many male children in the tribe. Although they are still a long time away from maturity, they represent hope. When they grow up, generations of changes will occur, and eventually the elf village will definitely Step out of this forest and go to a wider area outside.
But Xu Sheng has now become a part of the elf village, and an inseparable part of many people. They don't want him to die, even though he looks old, but they don't dislike him at all.
From the perspective of elves, youth and old age are determined by the fluctuations of the soul, not the body.
There is no doubt that Xu Sheng's soul is still 'young'. He is only over eighty years old, but he is still so young compared to them.
But there is no banquet in the world that never comes to an end.
More than three months later, after an ordinary exercise, Xu Sheng lay next to Aflei, completely losing his breath.
He still had a peaceful smile on his face.
That is a familiar way of thinking about life, the appearance of a sage.
…
who I am? where am I? What am I doing?
When his consciousness returned to his body, three more questions appeared in Xu Sheng's mind.
Why again?
He was stunned for a moment, and then various memories came to his mind.
"So now I'm... turned into a fairy fruit?"
The Holy Elf Tree once made him a promise. Although Xu Sheng didn't care much about it, if there was one, it would be better than nothing.
But Xu Sheng soon felt something was wrong... The situation seemed to be different from what the Elf Holy Tree said?
He looked to the left and right.
I found that my sight was at a very high position, and there were actually white clouds below.
He waved his arms vigorously, trying to disperse the clouds, but what appeared in his sight were several huge branches.
He froze.
Finally, he understood what was happening.
He didn't become an Elf Fruit, but an Elf Sacred Tree!
But how is this possible?
How could I, a mortal being, become a holy tree?
Xu Sheng was puzzled, and he continued to think, but the knowledge in his brain was limited, and he couldn't think of anything.
Just then, he saw hundreds of tiny dots appear below.
His heart palpitated.
Then his vision continued to expand, and he suddenly became excited.
Afre, Elise, XXXX, XX, XXX...
He shouted, wanting these people to look at him and know that he was right in front of them!
"Dear Holy Tree, not long ago, Chen's life came to an end. Please take his soul away and turn it into a fruit to grow on your body."
Aflei carried Xu Sheng's body and walked to the front of the sacred tree, knelt down and gently placed it on the ground.
The elves behind them knelt down, each of them with sadness on their faces. Xu Sheng's departure made them all feel that the world had lost its color.
"I'm here, I turned into a holy tree...I don't know how I turned into it, but I'm here!"
Xu Sheng shouted anxiously, he wanted to return to them more than turning into a tree or something.
But his voice was nothing more than the rustling of leaves in Afre's ears.
They were surprised for a while at first, thinking that the holy tree was giving some revelation, but after waiting for a long time and no sound was heard, they gave up.
The sacred tree can communicate directly, and its leaves are only moved by the wind.
Xu Sheng was extremely anxious, but it was of no use.
After an unknown amount of time, he had completely given up the idea of letting Afrey and others know of his existence.
At this moment, everything in front of him began to move backwards rapidly.
Scenes from the past sixty years appeared before his eyes.
Then a young man with a dazed expression appeared in front of him. He was in a daze, and he recognized that this was himself when he just woke up.
But how did he appear?
He didn't know, he only knew that the picture in front of him suddenly interrupted at that moment, and appeared in place so suddenly.
The regression did not stop.
All the scenes in front of me are still flashing back.
One hundred years, hundreds of years, a thousand years, thousands of years...
He saw Afrey's ancestors, and with his 'eyes' he saw scenes of the elf village multiplying.
They also encountered difficulties during this process, but they were overcome in the end.
With a scale of only a few hundred people, it has been continuously extinct for thousands of years, and it is extremely difficult.
At a certain moment, he saw a team of elves coming in front of him. When he saw himself, he happily took root here.
There are male elves among these elves.
He knew it very well, after all, he had gone all the way back.
Elves reproduced naturally at first, but they suffered some kind of curse. Their offspring would only give birth to females, not males.
And so, when the number of the village reached three hundred and twenty-three, the last man died.
The scene continued to recede, and the surrounding forest disappeared, turning into a desolate plain with only one tree.
Then his existence began to retreat rapidly. First, his line of sight became lower, which was a decrease in height, and then the branches shrank.
Tens of thousands of meters, thousands of meters, hundreds of meters...
He turned into a very ordinary little tree.
It is only over five meters tall, and it is exposed to wind and sun all day long, making it difficult to survive.
But the backtracking continues.
At the end, everything in front of him disappeared, and his eyes were completely dark.
He... turned into a seed.
