Guardian of the Spirit

Several hours have passed since Hua Beibei entered the trial place, but Hua Beibei made no movement inside and had no intention of coming out.

"How long will it take to wait?"

Jiang Yuan raised his head and looked up at the gradually darkening sky.

[If it’s fast, another one or two hours will be enough; if it’s slow, it may take two or three days.]

Mrs. Hua Jie said.

The tests in the Proving Ground are unpredictable, and some tests take a longer time.

Normally, the longest test time will not exceed five days.

Regardless of whether you pass the test or not, you must stay in the trial place for a certain period of time. This is the rule left by the eternal flower.

The purpose is to prevent his people from developing the bad habit of running away from battle and giving up halfway.

"Two or three days if it's slow?"

Jiang Yuan decided to wait and see. If Hua Beibei hadn't come out after an hour or two, he would move out of the tent and start camping.

…

night.

The Candlelight Spirit clones, Latios, and Rotom came back from a stroll and found that Jiang Yuan had already set up a tent, so they knew they were going to spend the night here.

"Candlelight candlelight!"

Come tell ghost stories tonight!

The Candlelight Spirit clone was particularly excited.

"I want to practice superpowers."

Latios had no intention of listening to ghost stories.

"Loto, yes, tell a ghost story!"

Rotom also became excited.

There is no Internet in the Lost Fairy Garden, and Rotom cannot connect to the Internet, which is very boring.

What Rotom can do now is play stand-alone games and do some simple data analysis and calculations.

Rotom wanted to take pictures to record this trip to the lost fairy garden.

But Hua Beibei, Huaye Di, and Madam Hua Jie were afraid that Rotom would leak the lost fairy garden and cause trouble to their clan, so they banned Rotom from taking pictures.

I can't take pictures, nor can I do complicated data analysis. Instead of being so bored, I might as well take the initiative to have fun by telling ghost stories.

"Two ghost elves are telling ghost stories, you guys are really busy."

Jiang Yuan walked out of the tent.

"Candlelight candlelight."

Isn't it just free time? There's nothing much I can do here now.

The Candlelight Spirit clone got into the tent, patted the pillow beside him, and signaled Rotom to come here to tell ghost stories.

Jiang Yuan: "..."

The movements of the Candlelight Spirit Clone were getting more and more strange to him. Was he too dirty?

"Loto, here you go, let me tell you first, let me tell you a ghost story about the stairs."

Rotom called up a collection of ghost stories that had been stored for a long time.

Jiang Yuan and Latios closed their eyes and concentrated on cultivating their superpowers, unmoved.

…

Jiang Yuan stayed in the Lost Fairy Garden for three days in a row.

Because he was not sure when Hua Beibei would come out, Jiang Yuan stayed by the ancient tree.

Occasionally when he got tired of staying there, Jiang Yuan would let the elves take over his place, and then, under the supervision of Mrs. Hua Jie, he would walk around and stretch his muscles.

On the afternoon of the third day, the ancient tree made a soft sound.

【It's coming out.】

Mrs. Hua Jie, an elder who is very familiar with the trial site, said telepathically.

When Jiang Yuan heard this, he looked at the rippled tree hole.

"Haha~"

Hua Beibei flew out of the tree hole on a fairy flower transformed by superpowers, rushed in front of Jiang Yuan, and circled around Jiang Yuan's head.

Hua Beibei's memory still stayed before coma. Seeing that Jiang Yuan was fine, she was completely relieved.

"How do you feel now? Are there any sequelae?"

Jiang Yuan sensed Hua Beibei's current status.

Hua Beibei's energy fluctuations are very stable, the remaining toxins on her body have also disappeared, and her injuries are completely healed.

"Haha~"

No, it is full of energy now.

Hua Beibei raised her arms and made a gesture to show off her biceps.

Jiang Yuan was unable to support his forehead.

Can you be more ladylike and not so tomboyish?

While Jiang Yuan was talking to Hua Beibei, other elves cast curious glances at Hua Beibei.

They wanted to see with their own eyes what the elder Mrs. Hua Jie said about their ancestors’ special features after they woke up.

[I am the guardian of this trial place.]

The elder Mrs. Hua Jie came over and bowed slightly to Hua Beibei.

The elder Mrs. Hua Jie was originally supposed to be called ancestor Hua Beibei, but facing such a small Hua Beibei, Mrs. Hua Jie couldn't say the word "ancestor".

Hua Beibei tilted her head, showing a confused look.

Guardian of the Trial Grounds?

What is the place of trial?

Where does it stay these days?

[Are there no memories of past lives in the trial place? 】

The elder Mrs. Hua Jie's eyes narrowed.

It thought that Hua Beibei in her previous life would leave her memory in the place of trial, waiting for the arrival of the next life.

Hua Beibei has a black question mark face.

Memories from past lives?

Where?

【I'm offended.】

Seeing this, Mrs. Hua Jie, the elder, released her spiritual power to sense Hua Beibei's current aura fluctuations, and then showed a confused look.

Hua Beibei's injury fully recovered, and time began to flow at a normal speed.

However, Hua Beibei's state has not changed, she is still at the early stage of the demigod level, and the time power in her body is the same as before the coma, and has not increased.

Didn’t you even get the Flower of Eternity inheritance?

As long as you pass the test of the Trial Ground, you can obtain the time power of the Eternal Flower, and your strength will be more or less improved.

There was no change in Hua Beibei after she came out. It seemed that she was just healing her wounds in the trial place and did nothing else.

The doubts in the elder Mrs. Hua Jie's heart became even more intense.

[Have you not completed the test in the Trial Ground? 】

Elder Mrs. Hua Jie asked.

It shouldn't be.

If Hua Beibei was really the Huayedi back then, even if it didn't know what it was doing, it could still rely on its instincts and gain a lot of gains in the trial field.

Instead of being like now, there is no change at all.

Hua Beibei tilted her head.

"Haha~"

It's done.

When the elder Mrs. Hua Jie and the other elves who were paying attention to Hua Beibei heard this, question marks popped up in their heads.

After completing the test, why haven't you changed?

"Haha~"

It doesn't take away that power, and it certainly doesn't change.

All Hua Beibei, Hua Yedi, and Mrs. Hua Jie were all dumbfounded.

Obtaining the complete inheritance of the Eternal Flower is their dream.

Now, Hua Beibei told them that she could take it away, but she just didn’t take it and was just playing with it.

This desperate feeling made Hua Beibei, Hua Yedi, and Hua Jie swallow a mouthful of old blood in their throats, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

【Why not take away the inheritance.】

The elder, Mrs. Hua Jie, maintained her facial expression that was about to crack, and asked the thoughts of all the tribesmen present.

"Hello."

It had an intuition that it would be better to leave that power there, so it didn't take action.

Hua Beibei gently landed on Jiang Yuan's shoulder, holding Jiang Yuan's hair with both hands, as if grasping the style of a fairy flower.

"My previous hypothesis did not hold true. Now you don't have to worry about what to do if the inheritance is taken away by Hua Beibei."

Jiang Yuan looked at the elder, Mrs. Hua Jie.

【Do you know what it means to get that power?!】

The elder Mrs. Hua Jie suddenly felt unstable.

Hua Beibei nodded.

"Hello."

It means eternal life.

The power in the trial ground gave Hua Beibei a very familiar feeling.

Even if Hua Beibei has forgotten what that power is, she can roughly guess based on the rich power of time that if she completely masters this power of time, she will gain eternal life.

However, Hua Beibei felt that it was not that important whether she would live forever or not, as long as she could stay with Jiang Yuan and die later than Jiang Yuan.

After hearing this, the elder Mrs. Hua Jie fell into deep thought.

After a while, the elder Mrs. Hua Jie showed a firm look in her eyes, as if she had made a major decision.

【Take the inheritance away.】

"Hello?"

Hua Beibei looked confused.

"Hua Beibei may not necessarily stay to guard this place. If you want Hua Beibei to leave a new inheritance, you must at least wait until it fully grasps the power of the Eternal Flower. However, you don't know how long you will have to wait to fully grasp such a huge power.

."

Jiang Yuan frowned, looked at the elder Mrs. Hua Jie, and repeatedly confirmed: "Are you sure you want Hua Beibei to do this?"

Take away the inheritance of the Eternal Flower, and the lost Fairy Garden will lose the protection of the power of the Eternal Flower.

And other Huabeibei and Huayedidi will also lose a good place to improve their strength.

Seeing Jiang Yuan discussing important matters with the elder Mrs. Hua Jie, the three elves of Candlelight, Latios and Rotom pulled Hua Beibei aside and told her the cause of the matter.

After all, Hua Beibei has just woken up and doesn’t know anything. She needs to learn about the lost Fairy Garden and the trial place left by the Eternal Flower.

[The inheritance of the Eternal Flower can protect our family, but if we don’t take it away, the inheritance is a force beyond our control. We cannot exert the full value of the inheritance.]

[If you cannot obtain the complete inheritance of the Flower of Eternity, you cannot have eternal life. Even if you break through to the legendary realm, the final outcome will be the same, that is, turning into a withered skeleton and disappearing into the long river of history. 】

[However, this ancestor is different. He has the ability to inherit the Flower of Eternity, has eternal life, is immortal, and can have a different ending from us. 】

[The inheritance of the Eternal Flower will continue to stay here. It will not bring about much changes to our family. At most, it will make us live longer. Other than that, it has no effect, because death is the destination of all our elves. ]

Meet Hua Beibei, the legendary elf who almost took away the inheritance of the eternal flower.

Seeing Hua Beibei's disdain for eternal life.

Elder Mrs. Hua Jie's thoughts have undergone a huge change.

It has seen too many tribesmen who obtained part of the power of the Flower of Eternity, their confidence greatly increased, and they plunged into the place of trial, hoping to take away the complete inheritance, but in the end they died of old age.

The inheritance of the Eternal Flower is said to be the power that protects the Fairy Garden.

But if you think about it carefully, this inheritance is more like a curse, a shackles, and a temptation.

All elves who cannot bear the temptation of eternal life will be lost in the pursuit of the inheritance of the eternal flower, and will never recover.

The existence of the Eternal Flower inheritance has buried countless geniuses like Hua Beibei and Huayedi.

They may have unprecedented talents in other fields, and they may be able to break through to the legendary realm through other paths and achieve unimaginable achievements.

Even if you don't have eternal life, you can still live your life happily.

However, so many geniuses think that they have the ability to gain eternal life, give up their talents, and cling to the inheritance of the Eternal Flower.

What is the result? It ends in depression.

Hua Beibei taking away the Eternal Flower inheritance may be a relief for their clan.

Doing this can free up the thoughts of their clan and allow the younger generations of their clan to do what they are good at, instead of focusing entirely on the inheritance of the Eternal Flower.

Elder Mrs. Hua Jie has already made a decision in her heart.

Whatever you say today, it will be passed down by Hua Beibei.

Obviously before, she was so reluctant to part with the Eternal Flower inheritance and worried about what Hua Beibei would do after taking away the inheritance, but now she looks like she can't wait to give the inheritance to Hua Beibei for free.

Jiang Yuan was unable to react to such a huge change in the elder Mrs. Hua Jie.

However, Jiang Yuan could understand what the elder Mrs. Hua Jie said.

No matter how many quantitative changes there are, they are not as important as qualitative changes.

The other Huabeibei and Huayendi will all die of old age if they cannot take away the inheritance. It is just the difference between early death and late death.

But if you inherit the power of the first Eternal Flower, you can break the shackles of death, gain immortality, and achieve qualitative change.

【Take it away, take it away.】

At this time, the elder Mrs. Hua Jie was like a repeater, repeating these three words.

"Whether or not you want to take the inheritance depends on Hua Beibei's own wishes. If Hua Beibei really takes it, how will you explain it to your other tribesmen? They may not want to lose the inheritance, even for a short period of time."

Jiang Yuan reminded.

[I will give them an explanation. If the ancestors really take away the inheritance, there is no need to leave a new inheritance. Just leave a time acceleration area for our family to practice. 】

Elder Mrs. Hua Jie suddenly understood.

The inheritance of the Flower of Eternity is the confinement of thoughts and fantasies. It’s okay not to want this kind of power.

As for the explanation, it is the strongest elf in the clan, and even the clan leader is no match for it.

If other elves have complaints, they have to be suppressed by it.

It treats it as such a villain. Even if it is not understood and is cursed by future generations, it will not regret the decision it made today.

The communication between one person and one elf was based on one-to-one telepathy. Hua Beibei, Hua Yedi, and Mrs. Hua Jie did not hear, otherwise they would not be so calm.

"How about it?"

After seeing Hua Beibei learn about the trial place, Jiang Yuan asked her for its opinion.

Jiang Yuan really wants Hua Beibei to have the power of the Eternal Flower, but whether or not to take away the inheritance of the Eternal Flower depends entirely on Hua Beibei herself.

Jiang Yuan will not interfere with Hua Beibei's decision.

"Hello."

Hua Beibei shook her head.

It still doesn't want to take away the Eternal Flower inheritance.

Since it chose to leave the inheritance in its previous life, it must have made a carefully considered decision, and it did not want to go against the wishes of its previous life.

[Why are you so stubborn? The past life is the previous life, and this life is this life. The wishes of this life are the most important thing.]

The elder Mrs. Hua Jie saw that Hua Beibei did not want to take away the inheritance, so she began to do ideological work for Hua Beibei.

"Hello."

Hua Beibei continued to shake her head.

It doesn't want to take away the inheritance in this life.

What good is eternal life?

He was the only one alive, watching the people and elves he cherished die one after another, and what was left to accompany him was endless loneliness.
