Chapter 3054: Base Steal

"Ah? Me? Could I?"

Kapa pointed at his own nose, stunned and speechless.

What was going on?

He could become the elves’ honorary High Priest?

"Because you successfully translated the ancient text on the stone wall, found information about the Goddess, and helped us defeat the swarm, your contributions to the elves deserve this title. Also, you will be responsible for the ancient stone wall from now on. Do you accept?"

"Of course!"

Kapa nodded eagerly.

The priests in the Elven tribe held great respect and status, and there was no precedent for this title. As long as Kapa agreed, he could stay in the elves’ tribe for life, living comfortably without worry.

Of course he was willing!

"Cleriway, take good care of the Tree of Life. Everyone else, go on with your tasks."

After saying this, the Elven king felt as if a great burden was lifted from his shoulders. A wave of exhaustion washed over him. He waved his hand and led the group away from the blessing temple.

Until he saw the elves leave the temple, Kapa still stood there dazed.

Reflecting on the whole matter, Kapa suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

So they came to the elves’ tribe, and Mr. Fang had somehow taken control of the entire elves’ tribe?

And the elves had been kept in the dark the whole time?

Kapa swallowed nervously, thinking that it was fortunate the Flying Squirrel Clan had not crossed Fang Heng, or else they wouldn’t even know how they had been sold out.

After everyone left, Fang Heng’s soul body appeared behind Kapa and Cleriway.

"Brother Fang Heng."

"Cleriway, you’ve worked hard."

Fang Heng squinted his eyes and looked toward the direction where the elves had departed.

He had a strange feeling.

The Elven king must have realized something.

To protect the elves, he had made such a decision, entrusting the Tree of Life to Cleriway?

If so, the Elven king truly could both hold on and let go.

"Cleriway, how do you want to handle the elves? Will you keep them or destroy them completely? I can help you."

"Brother Fang Heng, the elves are my homeland. I want to stay and continue to care for Abe Akaya."

"Good. Abe Akaya likes you as well. I feel relieved leaving it in your care." Fang Heng nodded lightly, then added, "By the way, Cleriway, there’s one more thing I need your help with."

...

The real world.

Only three days remained before the spawns issued their final ultimatum to humanity.

Facing the extreme threat from an extraterrestrial force, the Human Federation had to temporarily set aside differences and unite to prepare for the impending invasion.

Amid the crisis, rumors spread rapidly—doomsday theories, alien invasion claims, disaster survival plans—causing widespread panic.

The entire world fell into turmoil.

The spawns were among the galactic overlords, with combat strength far beyond that of humanity, who had only recently made contact with interstellar forces.

Even a few allies under the spawns’ command made the situation dire.

The Human Federation already anticipated the war would be extremely difficult.

As for the Shadow Clan, they remained patient.

All allies were fully prepared for battle and eager to act.

Once the three-day deadline passed, the Shadow Clan would immediately strike.

The first wave would be a long-range bombardment on human home worlds, severely destroying buildings and living strength.

The second wave would be an invasion.

The Elven prince, Cole Karot, had just expressed dissatisfaction at a council meeting, urging the spawns’ allies to prepare to attack the human world, then returned to his ship.

An Elven attendant respectfully handed over a letter, bowing, "Your Highness, during your meeting, Elder Deborah arrived via emergency transition. She and her entourage are in the lounge waiting for you. This is a letter from the Elven king, personally written. Please accept it."

A letter personally from the Elven king!

And Elder Deborah had personally come to the ship.

Could something be wrong with the elves?

Cole Karot did not dare to be careless. He opened the envelope and examined it.

Ah?

Usually calm and composed, Cole Karot’s hand trembled slightly. He wondered if he had read it wrong.

The Elven king ordered the elves to completely stop their offensive against humans. The action against the suspected Tree of Life on the human world was canceled?

According to the letter’s description, the elves were not only to halt their attack but also assist humans against the Shadow Clan and their allies?

What was going on?

Cole Karot was stunned.

Wasn’t the plan to find a way to restore the Tree of Life’s strength from the humans?

Why did their attitude toward humans suddenly change 180 degrees?

"Take me to see Elder Deborah."

"Yes!"

In the lounge, Cole Karot met Elder Deborah and bowed respectfully.

Elder Deborah had always been responsible for tending the ancient tree of life within the elves, holding a highly respected position, and even the Elven king treated her with great respect.

"Your Highness."

Deborah stood and returned the bow, then introduced, "You probably already know most of what happened from the letter. Let me introduce—this is the Goddess, and these two are the oracles."

Cole Karot looked at Cleriway, and beside her, Kapa and Fang Heng, feeling conflicted.

Great.

A half-elf, a flying squirrel, and a human.

The elves’ ancient tree of life was now controlled by such people?

"Greetings, Your Highness."

Cleriway bowed respectfully.

Cole Karot frowned slightly as he looked at Cleriway.

A half-elf.

He could smell the unclean bloodline aura even from over ten meters away.

She was the Goddess?

Cole Karot asked, "Elder Deborah, what exactly is going on?"

"His Majesty, that is part of the reason I came."

Deborah bowed again to Cole Karot. "You must have read the king’s letter. Many things happened after you left the elves..."

After hearing Deborah explain the internal upheaval in the elves, Cole Karot fell into long silence.

Could this really be?

In just over a week since he left the clan, great changes had occurred.

The old generation Tree of Life had completely died. A new generation Tree of Life had been born.

Although the Elven king still held power, the elves had changed beyond recognition.

"I understand."

Cole Karot’s lips twisted bitterly.

Simply put...

He had been robbed.

This mission to purge humans was something he had fought hard to secure from the Elven king.

He had hoped that if they could find a way to restore the Tree of Life’s vitality from humans, he could become the elves’ savior and succeed his father as the next king.

But unexpected events had occurred.

It was that idle third brother who stole the show!

Now, the third prince’s reputation inside the elves soared like the sun at its zenith. Barring other incidents, becoming the next king was almost certain.

Sometimes, luck was truly inexplicable.
