Chapter 456 World Tree

Chapter 456: World Tree

“I have found the Elven Realm,” Remia said those words to her beloved during their time. No one was around them, so Alex was naturally the first one to hear that news. At first, he was happy, but then, Remia’s expression grew sadder.

Alex held her hand dearly, asking softly, “What’s wrong?”

“This realm is empty… No elves, no nature… Nothing is here,” Remia explained her vision, which had been painful as she saw the history of the elven people. On top of having wars with the Darkmana Empire, the elves had problems with reproduction.

After some generations, their race entirely had become extinct, and drops of their blood scattered across the Avander World.

It was the reason why Remia became The Elven Queen, and her whole race’s bloodline evolved to the elven one.

“We will have to build it from scratch,” Alex said, encouraging his future wife. He glanced at the spot with the sun and blue sky in his dark realm.

Remia followed his gaze, smiling and slowly getting better. She couldn’t change the past but surely could turn the realm into her home and help her race become stronger. Even now, as the elves, the forest fairies’ level cap shot up, and they could level up without Alex’s barracks.

“Let’s visit this realm, shall we?” Alex asked, and to his words, Remia nodded. Both of them took the first step to the new realm!

It was barren land.

The rough dirt beneath their feet was brittle, the air seemed somewhat toxic and nauseating, and the sky was of pale orange color. No nature as far as the eye went, and it was simply incredulous that the elven race used to live here.

Remia’s images from her bloodline became a reality, and she felt weaker in her legs. Her connection with elves was much closer, and she had many dreams within her. The sight of empty land hurt her as though it were her home some time ago.

“We must put the realm’s entrance in the safe continent before we start developing this realm… Well, good quality dirt, water, and some seeds should be good for starters,” Alex commented, encouraging Remia as much as he could with his optimism.

Remia quietly nodded.

She knew that realms couldn’t exist without the world, so there had to be a connection between them. Alex’s realm and others all had that. For instance, the Winged Realm was connected through the mountains, which was also a challenge for low-level people.

The couple decided to wander around the empty realm before returning home to pick the necessary stuff to start development. It was a silent walk, for Remia’s heart ached too much, and she started crying because of that misfortune.

Alex didn’t dare to remind her that elves had hidden their enemies in Remia’s home, her capital, which could endanger and even cause her race to go extinct. Now that she was the elven queen, she held the reins of the elven future, so there was no need for that.

But as Remia’s tears landed on the ground, a change occurred. The realm shook as if an earthquake or perhaps some earth demon went through it, then the system messages swarmed Remia and Alex’s eyes.

[The World Tree’s Seed has sprouted in the middle of The Elven Realm!]

“Miracle!” Remia moaned out of joy, her body flying toward the seed she had already sensed with her bloodline. Alex promptly followed her.

They soon found a small pond, as if Remia’s tears created it, and in the middle of that pond, the seed was perched on the small piece of arable earth, which was like a mini island.

More messages popped into their eyes.

[World Tree’s Seeds need a connection to the new life.]

And as the couple read further, they soon understood the plot. The new life meant a baby who would grow up alongside the world tree and be next in the line for the elven’s throne, Remia’s child.

Such a privilege would connect Remia’s bloodline to the new world tree, give her even more privileges as the elven queen, and also would connect Alex to her race for eternity.

Remia was at a loss of words, for she knew that Alex had no plans for a child yet. That talk was avoided by everyone in his family as enemies lurked around. But to her absentminded expression, looking lost and uncertain, Alex smiled.

“I’d love to have a fruit of our love, Remia,” Alex was on board with the idea, knowing how much Remia had gone through to become one of his beloveds and her feelings of being weaker and less important than everyone else.

After all, Alex’s other wives hailed from strong realms and had such powerful backgrounds! She never showed that, but Alex knew.

And as Remia always treasured her feelings and trusted Alex, believing in a future with him for a long time, Alex liked the idea of her being the first mother of his child.

In an instant, Remia’s face lit up like a tomato, her cheeks were red as if kindled by flames, and tears crumbled her beautiful face, crying in abundance. She lifted her hands to cover her face — as though trying to catch and stop those tears — to no avail.

“Really?” Remia asked nervously, her voice shaking.

Alex nodded, then extended his hands to hug his girl tightly, conveying to her that he was fine with the timing and her being the first one. No, Remia needed more to understand the latter, so Alex kissed her deeply and sweetly.

It was such a lovely kiss that Remia’s eyes shone brightly, and the sky above them brightened instantly. The barren land no longer mattered, and it even seemed like water around the world tree’s seed seemed clearer than before.

“T-There’s a problem,” Remia replied faintly, then quickly added as Alex inquired for more with his peculiar, handsome gaze. “It’s like we are passing a heavy burden and responsibility to our future child, so she or he needs a lot of brothers and sisters!”

Alex would never allow his child to be a slave to the race or the world. He would do his all to break the shackles and give his children the freedom to choose their future. He would never allow his first child to be chained to the World Tree.

But he understood Remia’s worries, “Our first child will have a lot of brothers and sisters… Some of them will have fluffy wings, some will prank by detaching their heads, and some will run around in kitty forms…”

Remia chuckled.

Alex added, “But for sisters with green hair and eyes, our fruit of love will have to wait.”

“Yes,” Remia nodded, then whispered lovingly, “I want a big family…”

Alex’s heart trembled as he imagined Yumia and her descendants. In fact, he was like a father to them all, which was so odd that he always forgot that unconsciously. Of course, he always knew that she had a lot of children.

No way Remia wanted to follow her mother’s steps, right?

“I don’t want that many…” Remia read Alex’s gaze, then whispered, “Maybe ten…”

Alex’s heart sank.
