Investigating the future development of the human race in the central region was a task left to the top management of Star City by Feng Qi before he left.
Confirming that the Elf King is trustworthy, the human race will gain a powerful ally in the future.
On the contrary, if it is determined that the Elf King is not trustworthy, killing the Elf King will be a direction that Feng Qi needs to plan in the future.
Facing his inquiry, Zhang Daowen nodded and affirmed:
"History has proven that the Elf King did not violate the contract it originally signed with the early human ancestors in the central region and never gave up on humans. However, it failed. It failed to win the final victory in the face of Dark Wood, and eventually became the nutrient for Dark Wood's growth."
"Did Anmu really take action against the Elf King?" Feng Qi's expression became solemn.
"Although I did not witness the battle between the Elf King and the Dark Wood with my own eyes, the investigation team sent out described the battle in detail between the Elf King and the Dark Wood..."
Listening to Zhang Daowen's explanation, Feng Qi had a clear understanding of the development of the Central District.
Feng Qi has long known about the struggle between the Elf King and Dark Wood.
Judging from the Elf King's series of preparations and actions, it has long known that it is no match for Darkwood.
At that time, Star City's investigation team stayed in Elf City and witnessed the brutality of the decisive battle.
The worst outcome that Feng Qi had speculated at that time still happened.
The human race was also involved in the war between the Elf King and Darkwood, and internal disputes broke out.
Many major events occurred during this period.
Zhang Daowen focused on the back-up left behind by the Elf King, a golden egg.
This is the strongest life form pieced together by the Elf King using the Life Forge, and its growth potential is several levels higher than its previous most satisfactory descendant, "Dark Wood".
This was a trump card that the Elf King had never mentioned to him.
According to the feedback from the investigation team, the Elf King has never given up on the transformation of life forms. It wants to transcend its spiritual plant form and obtain a body of flesh and blood.
This is the shortcut to growth in the eyes of the Elf King.
After learning of Darkwood's betrayal, the Elf King began a series of plans.
The biggest advantage of the Elven King with its miraculous life furnace is that it can combine the life sequences of creatures in other fields to create offspring that are far stronger than its own talent.
Darkwood is the most satisfactory descendant of the Elf King, and can also be said to be the most satisfactory work.
But the Elf King was unable to improve his own life potential, let alone control his offspring.
Darkwood's betrayal is a good example.
The Elf King is well aware of the hidden dangers of this development model. If he cannot transcend himself, he will eventually be replaced by his descendants. In the end, even the furnace of life may be taken away by his descendants.
Its value in the eyes of future generations will become weaker as their potential grows.
There is only one way to break the situation.
Let yourself complete the transcendence of life form, continue to occupy the dominant position, and use your strength to suppress the ambitions of future generations.
However, the Life Furnace has very limited help in the growth of the Elf King himself. Its greatest role is to combine the life sequences of creatures in various fields in a nurturing way and pass them on to the next generation.
This requires a "gestation" process and cannot be given directly to oneself.
This is how the elves were born.
The "golden eggs" Zhang Daowen talked about were the back-ups prepared by the Elf King for himself.
After countless failures, the Elf King combined a potential life that was several levels stronger than the Dark Wood. This golden egg was also a new life in the Elf King's eyes.
It wants to transfer its consciousness to the golden egg, abandon its spiritual body, and start over with a new life form.
It is different from the reincarnation described in human mythology.
The Elf King does not seek an afterlife, it wants to use the power of the Forge of Life to carve out a new future path for itself.
(PS: The relevant plot foreshadowing is in Chapters 500-501, during which it was mentioned that the Elf King wanted flesh and blood.)
Give birth to yourself.
This logical paradox is incomprehensible from a human perspective, but the Elf King almost achieved it.
But in the end, the Elf King still fell on the last leg of his journey to success.
During the critical period when the Elf King was transferring his consciousness, Anmu got the news from nowhere and launched a war against the Elf City.
During this period, Darkwood slowly advanced towards the Elf City with the entire Darkwood City.
The final result was a disastrous defeat for the Elf King.
The process of consciousness transfer was forced to interrupt, and he started fighting with Anmu.
The war lasted for several months.
Knowing that it could not defeat Darkwood, the Elf King made a choice. It used up the last energy in its body to open up a safe path for the humans in the Elf City.
Star City's investigation team also escaped with the protection of the Elf King.
At the end of the war, thousands of plants in the Elf City withered and withered, and the dark wood took away the furnace of life and the golden egg in the Elf King's body.
Hearing this, Feng Qi felt sad in his heart.
In fact, he was not surprised that Anmu would win.
The growth talent of the Elf King is very different from that of Darkwood. Even the Elf King himself mentioned the possibility of failure in his conversation with him.
But what surprised him was that the Elf King actually had a backup plan and almost succeeded.
"What happened to the central area?" Feng Qi asked immediately.
"Uncle Qi, let me show you something."
Zhang Daowen said, raising his hand and moving forward.
I saw ice mist spreading in the air along my fingertips, eventually forming an ice mirror.
The picture changes from mold to clear.
What appears in the picture is an egg wrapped in dark red flames, with many strange dark red lines imprinted on its surface.
Underneath the egg were countless corpses, and strands of energy and blood were extracted from the corpses of these dead lives and seeped into the dark golden egg.
"Is this dark wood?"
"That's right, there is no path for the Elf King to take. Anmu continued to walk. This time there was no external interference. It took Anmu five years to complete the transfer of consciousness, absorb his own Anmu body, and transform into a brand new one.
life form."
"According to the news reported when the investigation team returned, almost all humans in the central area have become nutrients for Darkwood to hatch itself."
"In the eyes of Anmu who has completed his life transformation, the human race has completely lost its value. During this period, a large number of domain forces in the central region were slaughtered by Anmu."
Looking at the dark golden egg in the picture, Feng Qi felt that the appearance of this egg was inexplicably familiar.
Then he suddenly remembered where he had seen it.
The future dream line where he met his peak old fan. The future old fan had introduced him to three very potential beings.
Among them, this dark golden egg was mentioned.
Old fans said at the time that many races had been wiped out by this egg, and the lives that were wiped out by it would be devoured whether they were flesh, blood or spiritual residues. They also said that this egg seemed to be pregnant with a super life, and it would definitely be a super life after hatching.
An extremely terrifying existence.
Old fans speculate that this strange egg may be the descendant left by a super strong person.
Countless fragments were pieced together in Feng Qi's mind, and he got a clear historical context.
The reason is that the Elf King knew that he was no match for Darkwood and wanted to breed a new self to fight against Darkwood while continuing to control the elves.
From this the golden egg was conceived.
But at the important stage of the Elf King's consciousness transfer, Anmu decisively launched a war against the Elf City at that time due to possible intelligence leaks and other issues.
The Elf King was defeated miserably in this battle, and Darkwood took over the Elf King's furnace of life, as well as the new life (golden egg) prepared for himself.
Without external threats, Darkwood continued the Elf King's consciousness transfer.
Under the influence of Dark Wood's power, the golden egg turned into a Dark Golden Egg. Dark Wood spent five years completing the transfer of consciousness and turning into a brand new life.
At this time, Anmu discovered that he was still in the pregnancy stage after being reborn.
Therefore, the human race in the central region, and even a large number of other domain forces, have become nutrients for the growth of Darkwood.
The descendants of superpowers that old fans talk about in the future are actually the reborn Anmu.
(PS: The relevant plot foreshadowing is in Chapter 405, which mentions the descendants left by the super life, the dark golden egg.)
The historical truth made Feng Qi deep in thought.
Judging from the available intelligence, Dark Wood is the culprit behind the destruction of the human race in the central region.
In his heart, he also regarded Anmu as an enemy that must be eliminated.
But he had a doubt in his mind. If the Elf King completed the transfer of consciousness and found that he could not be conceived, would he make the same choice as Anmu and attack the human race?
At the last moment of his life, the Elf King chose to protect the humans in the Elf City from escaping. It seems that the Elf King is worthy of trust.
But I'm afraid of what might happen.
At the last moment of his life, the Elf King has no way to escape. At this time, it is a completely different mentality change to help the humans in the city and to achieve the transformation of life.
After analyzing the existing intelligence, we can see that the Elf King is more trustworthy among the two possibilities.
Protecting humans from escaping at the last moment of his life proves that the Elf King has feelings for humans, unlike Anmu who is completely using his mentality.
But no matter what, you still need to take precautions.
At least until he was sure that the elves were completely trustworthy, he still had to be wary of the Elf King.
Through Zhang Daowen's narration, Feng Qi's attitude towards the Elf King began to become clear.
Helping the Elf King defeat Dark Wood will be a direction he will consider next.
If all goes well, the elves will become allies of the humans like the mist tribe.
Feng Qi then looked up at Zhang Daowen:
"Xiaowen, do you know where Anmu is now?"
"I have been to the Barrens before, but I just passed by and left soon. I don't know where it is now... I once sensed its aura, and it is very powerful."
Hearing these words, Feng Qi nodded.
After completing the transfer of consciousness, Anmu's strength is obviously not weak.
Its current life form is the fruit of the Elf King's numerous failures.
From the fact that it is still unable to break out of its shell after absorbing a large amount of blood energy, we can see what a terrifying new form of life it will become when Anmu breaks its shell. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a super life form.
Egg-shaped is just the beginning stage of dark wood. You can imagine how broad the future of dark wood will be as long as it doesn't die prematurely.
The plug-in prepared by the Elf King for himself has fulfilled the future of Darkwood.
At this time, the narrator's voice appeared in his mind, interrupting his thoughts:
[Tsk tsk, now it seems that the Elf King is a pure grievance. He first prepared for decades and created his biggest enemy "Dark Wood" in the future after countless failures, and then spent a lot of energy and time to send Dark Wood to Dark Wood.
He has obtained a better new body plug-in, so the Elf King’s efforts are all aimed at perfecting Darkwood.】
After hearing the narrator's ridicule, Feng Qi felt ashamed.
This is really what happened.
Create Darkwood, build Darkwood City to get Darkwood out of his control, and send elite warriors to garrison Darkwood City... The Elf King's decision to trust Darkwood is suicide from the current perspective.
Every step is on the road to death.
The Elf King's life potential is not as good as that of Darkwood, and he still provides equipment and plug-ins while Darkwood is growing up. No wonder Darkwood wins so easily.
[Are you envious? It would be so satisfying if the villains you met were like the Elf King, giving you experience and equipment as you grow, and then waiting for you to defeat them. 】
After hearing these words, Feng Qi couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart.
If you put the perspective into Dark Wood, as the narrator said, it will be very pleasant to grow up.
But the problem is that none of the villains he meets are easy-going. Whether it is the old fan at the beginning or Mo in the future, none of them are cunning and calculating.
You're lucky if you don't get cheated on, but it's completely impossible to expect benefits from these old cheaters.
And the situation of dark wood is a special case after all.
The reason is that the Elf King trusts it too much and regards it as his potential descendant, which is an important node for the Elf clan to become a strong clan.
If it were the lives of other races, the Elf King would not be able to trust them with all his heart.
Therefore, we cannot say that the Elf King is stupid. We can only say that the Elf King trusted Darkwood too much and did not consider the potential risks at all.
After ending the topic of the elves, Feng Qi continued to ask for other information.
The following topics ranged from urban construction to the difficulties in development, and even Mu Zi's failure, etc.
Time flies by while chatting.
It is completely impossible to understand all aspects in a limited time. Feng Qi can only select important information as much as possible to understand in detail.
Next, he will have to spare a lot of time to understand the knowledge and information that Daybreak City has prepared for him.
The conversation lasted for most of the day.
After talking about the current hostile forces of mankind, Zhang Daowen looked at Feng Qi and smiled:
"By the way, Uncle Qi, we have also prepared some gifts for you. Go and have a look first, and we can chat while walking."
"What gift?" Feng Qi immediately asked curiously.
"Please follow me first, and you will know when we get there."
As he spoke, Zhang Daowen stood up and walked toward the gate of the mansion. When Feng Qi saw this, he immediately kept pace.
A few hours later, Feng Qi, led by Zhang Daowen, followed the metal stairs into an underground base.
The walls of this underground base have a black metallic luster, revealing a bit of cold air, and there are fully armed soldiers on duty along the way.
Seeing Zhang Daowen appear, the soldiers along the way spoke respectfully and called "ancestor".
Maybe Zhang Daowen is not a human being, but Feng Qi feels that Zhang Daowen's efforts and contributions to the human race can be called the "ancestor".
If it weren't for Zhang Daowen's support, the human race would have already gone off the other side after the collapse of the cultivation system.
Follow the metal passage to the end and push open the heavy metal door.
Following the steps into the room, Feng Qi was stunned by the scene before his eyes.
This roaring sound reached my ears.
This is a wide underground square, where a large number of domain creatures of various shapes can be seen being restrained in special metal cages.
Feng Qi took a cursory glance and found that there were at least two hundred domain creatures.
At this time, Zhang Daowen stretched out his hand and pointed to the domain beast imprisoned not far away, then looked at Feng Qi and smiled:
"Uncle Qi, there are 278 different types of domain creatures imprisoned here."
Feng Qi was about to speak, but what Zhang Daowen said next made him dumbfounded:
"We have built a total of six such farms, all of which are gifted seeds prepared for the faith growth system you plan."
