Volume 8, Chapter 36 – The True Finale

To possess the power that could protect Xiaoyin.

Not only to help Xiaoyin in terms of wisdom. If possible, she also wanted to share Xiaoyin’s burdens in battle, and truly fight side by side with her.

For Xingyu Muxi, her wish in the game world was just that simple.

From childhood until now, Xingyu Muxi’s life had always been arranged by her family. The knowledge she learned, the etiquette she was taught, and the relationships she built, every single thing existed only for the sake of the family.

But in the game world, Xingyu Muxi wanted to abandon her mission for one person.

No, to be precise, she wanted to abandon the life that had already been predetermined since her birth. And because of Tianyin’s existence, Xingyu Muxi gained the motivation to resist her fate, and also for the sake of the Tianyin she loved most, Xingyu Muxi developed the impulse to live for herself.

But why did she think this way?

Was it an impulse?

Or the instinct that had long been suppressed by her family?

After Tianyin obtained the power of Lust, Tianyin also frankly admitted the influence Lust had on her. But even knowing that Lust would affect her, Xingyu Muxi still refused to deny her feelings for Tianyin.

Indeed, her feelings for Tianyin were very likely caused by Tianyin’s Lust power. But even if the feelings were brought about by Lust, Xingyu Muxi still believed that they were not fake.

Are emotions amplified by Lust fake? That was nothing but self-deception. Liking someone can indeed be influenced by external conditions, and Xingyu Muxi would not deny that.

After all, every person pursued beautiful things.

Therefore, Lust amplifying affection could also be considered part of Tianyin’s own charm.

“Yes… that silly little one who sometimes acts adorably dumb, that’s the one I care about and the one I like…”

That kind of feeling could not be denied, nor could it be erased.

Even if Tianyin herself felt that her feelings toward her were somewhat false because of the influence of Lust, Xingyu Muxi, as the person experiencing it, acknowledged the existence of that emotion.

“The continuation of the family may be my life, but Xiaoyin, isn’t she also my life?”

An indescribable warmth came from within her body.

It felt as if a warm current was quietly flowing inside her, and as her inner thoughts became clearer and clearer, Xingyu Muxi felt her heart becoming more and more calm.

She could not hear anything from the outside world. Apart from her own breathing and heartbeat, she could hear nothing else.

It was as if the entire world only had her left. And as the world within her perception grew quiet, countless glowing points of warm light began to gradually appear before Xingyu Muxi’s eyes.

“This is… what…”

Faced with this scene, Xingyu Muxi asked subconsciously.

And following her question, a gentle voice sounded by her ear.

“This is the power of Nature, child. These are true elves. They possess emotions just like people, but their hearts are far purer than those humans.”

It was the Elven Queen’s voice. While carefully listening to the Elven Queen’s explanation, Xingyu Muxi curiously extended her hand and gently touched the glowing points of light in front of her.

“These are also elves.”

“Yes, these are all elves.”

The Elven Queen’s gentle voice slowly sounded.

“Now what you need to do is gain the recognition of these elves. Only after gaining their recognition can you truly inherit my Throne-tier power.”

“Gain recognition…”

To be honest, Xingyu Muxi had always thought that inheriting Throne-tier power would simply be a process similar to the transfer of cultivation or energy.

But what was in front of her now, a method that required gaining the elves’ recognition in order to inherit the power, truly overturned her expectations.

“That’s right. These true elves are extremely pure beings, and the power the elves possess is incomparably powerful. They can heal any wound, whether it is the rules themselves, the body, or even the soul.”

“Heal. Then Your Majesty, you…”

According to what the Elven Queen said, if elven power could heal everything, then logically, the heavily injured Elven Queen should have been able to heal herself.

However, the Elven Queen seemed to have already anticipated this question. With an almost imperceptible sigh, she interrupted Xingyu Muxi before she could continue.

“A healer cannot heal herself. Elven power can indeed heal all injuries, but it cannot heal the one who wields it.”

“So even though I possess elven power, I cannot heal my own wounds, and thus I have fallen to this state.”

In the Elven Queen’s words, the matter was already explained very simply.

Elven power could not be used to heal oneself. This flaw was the weakness of those who possessed elven power.

“I see… I understand.”

After learning about this flaw of elven power, Xingyu Muxi nodded in understanding.

Although this flaw was somewhat fatal, to Xingyu Muxi, this flaw was not necessarily a flaw.

Even though elven power did not seem to possess strong combat capabilities, one had to know that elven power was still a power that only Throne-tier beings could possess. Compared to Legendary-tier, Throne-tier had overwhelming innate advantages.

So toward the flaw of elven power, Xingyu Muxi subconsciously chose to ignore it.

“Child, next you must calm your heart and communicate with these elves. Let them acknowledge you, acknowledge your existence. When they acknowledge you, that will be the moment you truly control elven power.”

“Control elven power… then after I control these elves, what about you, Your Majesty?”

“Me?”

Seeing Xingyu Muxi ask about her own future state, the Elven Queen responded with a soft laugh.

“I am already a dying person. And elven power can only ever be held by one person. So when you take control of elven power, I will no longer possess it.”

“And without elven power, I will merely be an old woman who should have died long ago.”

A hero reaching her twilight.

The Elven Queen also recalled her past, the days when she had just become the Elven Queen.

Back then, her beauty in this natural world was unmatched by anyone.

And at that time, how many pursued her, seeking her love.

But until her death, she had never truly fallen in love with an elf, or rather, with any person.

Because her life had been devoted to all of Nature. In order to protect Nature, she had walked alone through hundreds of thousands of years in silence.

And in those long years, how many elves she once knew had turned into withered bones and completely died.

The elves guarding the palace were replaced batch after batch. What never changed was the queen seated upon the throne, loving Nature.

And now, the Elven Queen, who seemed as if she would always exist and always protect Nature, had finally reached the moment when the curtain should truly fall.
