Chapter 2 – The Conjunction of the Spheres
The story of the elves, at least the one that could be saved, told that there was a time when the worlds remained separate, each guarding its secrets and legends.
But that fateful day, later known as the Conjunction of the Spheres, the sky split and broke the sacred balance. From the darkness emerged unimaginable horrors, nightmare creatures and wild magic that swept away everything in their path.
The elves, ancient guardians of nature and wise keepers of harmony, found themselves trapped in the storm that fate had reserved for them. Men, insatiable and cruel, saw in that chaos the opportunity to usurp what did not belong to them. With fire and steel, they destroyed sacred forests, killed mercilessly, and sealed the end of a golden era.
Human wickedness spread like a plague, fed by fear and greed. Thus began the fall of the elves and the rise of a world marked by blood, betrayal, and oblivion. The Conjunction not only joined spheres, but also the deepest shadows of the human soul.
But before that, there was an era where the elves were the supreme lords of this world little known to man.
At that time, the great Solar Elf King commanded the elven army to sweep through all races and be invincible. His glory was as dazzling as the sun in the sky.
“No intelligent race of the Continent dared to challenge the majesty of our Elven Empire. Even the ancient dragons bowed their heads before the supreme race of the elves.”
“No one could face the elves.”
But those dreams have remained in the past; now the elves dream of rising again from the rubble.
…
Deep in a forgotten lake.
In an ancient relic hiding a temple beneath the water, a new World Tree tells a young man the most glorious story of the elves.
The young man was named Thranduil, who had recently arrived in this world and discovered he was the King.
The young appearance of this king, no more than a thousand years old, was majestic. He had long golden hair that was extremely characteristic of elves of noble blood and, of course, the iconic long, pointed ears of the elves.
He is tall, strong, and with a character that could be felt meters away. Moreover, his powerful ancient magic had regained its vitality.
In this deep lake, Thranduil silently listened to the story of the World Tree that was feeding him knowledge.
Here at the tree, thanks to his unique divine connection, he could obtain much knowledge about the world.
This is the Continent, just like that, no one bothered to give it a name since it had long been engulfed in wars and attacks by dark and evil forces.
The elves were glorious in their day, but now the world is dominated by humans, demons, and evil races.
Kind, legitimate, and brilliant races have become the target of massacre by humans.
The new World Tree had absorbed all the knowledge of the world. Thranduil told his faithful followers that now the tree they protected was known as the Mother Tree of the elves, and its capacity is to give birth to natural elves.
The tree grew in a few days to a height of thirty meters, and one could already imagine how glorious it was.
In the lake, Thranduil, submerged in the keys of knowledge, heard an ancient majestic voice: “Son, you are a solar elf with pure blood, do you know what that means?”
“You are destined to become a great elf king and revive the glory of the Elven Empire!”
Thranduil felt a bit passionate but quickly calmed down.
Being the Elf King in this world ruled by humans and evil, it is very easy to be sentenced to a certain death.
And hearing what the voice in his head had just told him, he knew his situation was not favorable.
“The remaining elves are scattered throughout the Continent. A legitimate elven princess with ancient blood was born in the Plains of Chaos. Everyone hopes you get involved in the war for the world and claim eternal glory.”
“As a solar elf, you are destined to marry the Elf princess and command the elven camp that awaits your orders to sweep the human kingdoms!”
Without waiting for Thranduil to speak, the trunk of the tree suddenly emitted a bright green light.
The green light gathered in front of Thranduil and turned into a kind of crystal-like tree.
“You now have full control over the future of the elves, a responsibility you must consider an honor. The fate of a race is in your hands; with my vitality, I can give life to the best warrior elves who will be loyal to you and serve you.”
“Son of destiny, take this power and pursue your future!”
“I will pray for your success…”
The whispering words of the World Tree seemed to end.
Thranduil clearly felt that his connection to this tree would enter a long hibernation.
He could not refuse; after all, a part of himself wanted to fulfill the dream of every elf on this Continent. It was something that arose from within him, something he could not say no to.
Because this was the World Tree, a sacred living being that coexists with space-time, capable of easily predicting the future and traveling to the past.
A power that Thranduil perfectly understood thanks to the knowledge that had merged with him.
Thranduil, with the tree in his hand and before the expectations of such a special being, would not refuse.
With his current strength, which had not yet fully recovered, he could not even leave the last elf fortress, much less cross the Dark Forest ruled by evil races like the Corrupted Elves and the Cyclopes and go to the Plains of Chaos to finally reach human territory.
Judging by the current situation, the elven princess who had just been born, the light of destiny, could well wait some time until she can massacre her current enemies.
…
Ancient elven city, far from the elven fortress where the last elite elves survive.
Boom!
The ground trembled slightly.
There are many ruins and collapsing buildings around the outermost elven forest buildings.
As the strength of the old trees faded, these ruins, which had been corroded by time, could no longer stand.
Thranduil looked around. He was in a plaza, surrounded by ruins of buildings and broken walls.
This place was once the capital of the strongest Elven Empire in the world.
It extends hundreds of kilometers long and wide and covers a very large area. Thousands of years ago, countless elves, unicorns, dragons, fairies, tree men lived here... It was a war between angels and demons that destroyed everything here.
Thousands of years later...
The ancient city was completely reduced to ruins. Outside the ruins of the ancient city lies the vast Forgotten Swamp, which is occupied by a large number of evil and dark creatures.
In fact, many evil creatures have already infiltrated the ruins. Previously, thanks to the ancient magic that Thranduil had left, no evil creature dared to approach the plaza.
Now that his magic had recovered, the protective barrier created by his own sacrifice can only rely on itself.
“My level might be above human mages, fire magic…”
The blood of the solar elves can greatly increase his magical power, making him as powerful as a supreme mage. As long as he is careful, it should not be a problem to survive in these ruins.
“But it’s dangerous to go out…” Thranduil knew he had come here because of the ancient love of his former self for this realm, wanting to cleanse it of humans and monsters.
That had given him fatal wounds; his magical illness was also due to his sacrifice. But now that he had recovered, being in ruins and far from his main army, he had to manage on his own.
He had only been in this world a few days; it was not easy to handle magic, but now he was sure that few humans could survive his power.
The problem was that he was surrounded by enemies immensely more powerful than weak humans.
But soon he would be more powerful, much more with the blessing of the World Tree. That is partly also because he is a solar elf and has incredible talents.
If he were a common nature elf, it might take several years to reach this level.
He planned to practice in the ruins for a while and then consider crossing these lands after becoming stronger.
At that moment, suddenly a mechanical voice sounded in his mind.
“[...]
System loading…
Activated successfully!
Congratulations to the host for obtaining a soldier-building seed of the elven camp!
Your current location is the ancient land of the sacred elves, who after many dreams and chasing their destiny, found the fruits that will give the elves a second chance to reign in the world!
Thanks to the blessing of the tree, you can obtain seeds from forgotten battlefields and summon war elves!
Whenever you are in a unique place, you can use your power to give life to more pure-blood elves.
…”
Thranduil was stunned for half a second, then his face became happy.
As someone who had been dragged to the most dangerous place in the world, the blessings he had at his disposal were great.
“If humans know about us, both they and the other races will not want us to rise again.”
After reflecting a bit, Thranduil decided to follow the guidance of the goddess of destiny. Under the system’s guidance, he found an open space and planted the seeds of the World Tree.
His current identity is the Solar Elf of the Elven Clan and the defending Elf King, so becoming the lord with these opportunities is a natural choice.
In the blink of an eye.
The seeds took root, sprouted, and grew rapidly.
In a short time, a Life Tree dozens of meters high appeared before Thranduil, who wore glorious silver armor.
The trunk of the Life Tree is vigorous and majestic, with lush branches and leaves like a canopy, and it exhales a strong breath of life and nature, in stark contrast to the old dead tree not far away.
Thranduil looked up calmly, as if this were no surprise for someone like him.
The information of the Life Tree was revealed as a virtual panel before his eyes.
“[...]
Life Tree.
[Information]:
The Life Tree is a small variant of the World Tree; here the root offers a connection to the land of origin. Its function is to breed elves and revive the dead.
[Levels]:
At the lowest level, you can breed ten elves each day.
[Upgrade requirements]: One thousand magic crystals.
[Special advice]: Increasing the level of the Life Tree can increase the number of elves bred.
…
“In fact, it can revive fallen elves. Not even old trees can do that!” Thranduil sighed and asked again: “System, how can I obtain energy crystals?”
“[...
Magic crystals can be obtained by killing magical enemies; their life cores are the magic crystals you can use to increase the vitality of the Life Tree.
…]”
After answering Thranduil, the system began to emit lord missions again.
“[...
First stage of missions.
[Task 1]: The territory must have 1,000 combat weapons.
