Chapter 926 Shameless Enough.

Something as absurd as the death of more than 70% of trees in the plane was never anticipated by the tree people. It is a nightmare for them.

They realized they were overreacting when the real nightmare came. The spawns of the demon God appeared amongst them. Many of them succumbed to the temptation of power. Most of the spawns appeared from within the dark elves that lived underground. It wasn't much of a surprise to the wood elves since those elves were already evil.

It came to them as a shock that some tree elves also succumbed to the whisperings of the demon God. It couldn't be helped. The tree people are all about balance and peace but there has to be a black sheep in a flock of sheep. It is a matter of probability. After all, the dark elves used to be tree people so the tree people can be evil too.

A nightmare descended on the tree people who are also called wood elves and the dark elves. It led to war, suspicions, hate, and strife that divided the elves for hundreds of years.

The nightmare lasted for hundreds of years. Then peace came to the wood elves. The wood elves were able to easily purge the abominations. The sun is blocked but its light still shines on the upper world. It made the upper world not conducive to the abominations. Some of the abominations could go out during the dim day but the fountain of life could always tell where they were hiding in the upper world so they were forced underground where they continued to fester. So the wood elves regained peace.

This peace which has lasted for hundreds of years has finally been disturbed. Something is making the demon God target the upper world again. The fountain of life has informed the council of the leadership of the wood elves about the movements of the abominations. The Fountain of Life also made an absurd request that the wood elves don't want to do at all.

----

The council of leadership is currently meeting in Lush Mountain. They are meeting to decide their plan of action due to the recent developments. Thousands of Sovereigns of law are attending this meeting. The meeting is taking place in an open-air plaza formed by the joining of the flattened branches of numerous trees. The Sovereigns are seated in a circle around the chairman of the council.

One of the sovereigns asked incredulously, "What did you just say?"

The representative of the Fountain of Life who also happens to be the chairman of the leadership council replied, "I said that the Fountain of Life asked us to protect the settlements of the Warrogs."

The distraught Sovereign spoke, "I heard you the first time. I am not deaf and slow of mind. I just wanted to see if you're shameless enough to repeat such a scandalous request." Then the Sovereign sneered, "It seems you really are shameless. You disgust me."

The chairman of the council sighed. She is usually not someone that hostility is directed at. She is an impartial party meant to streamline the voting process and make sure that order is kept. She herself can't vote. She is the representative of the fountain of life so it can't be seen that she is being biased or trying to put in motions that favor the fountain of life.

The wood elves respect the fountain of life. They have a lot to be thankful to the fountain of life for. The fountain of life helped them when they were weak and allowed them to survive and even become the overlords of the plane. But some of their awe and respect have diminished the stronger they have become. It doesn't help that the recent generation of wood elves has not met or seen the fountain of life in millions of years.

The absence of the fountain of life has not made it a myth. There are records and memories of the fountain of life in their bloodlines. There is also the historical civil war of the tree people caused by the blessing of the fountain of life. So it is certain that the fountain of life existed. What they aren't sure about is its current situation.

The fountain of life might be weak now or even dead. At least, those are one of the reasons they came up with for its prolonged absence. It should have become an Origin god after such a long time. Maybe it died during the tribulation or at the tower of heaven. Or maybe is has become an origin God and left the plane so there's no reason to fear it within the plane.

Only the representatives of the fountain of life claim to remain in contact with it. But that doesn't help the situation. It has alienated the representatives. After all, what could be so special about them that the fountain of life will only reveal itself to them and not to the rest of the wood elves?

The representatives of the Fountain of Life also have wings. They are not bird wings with feathers but scaled bat wings. Wood elves don't have wings so it has further set the representatives apart from the others. The only respect that the wood elves have for the fountain of life is the respect ingrained in them due to their bloodline. But that respect cannot compare with the hatred that they have for the Warrogs.

The Warrogs terrorized the tree people. They ate everything both trees and tree people alike. They even ate non-living things too. They destroyed everything wherever they went. The days of the world wars were the worst times for the tree people. It took all they had not to wipe out that race once and for all. Some of them wanted to wipe out the Warrogs. It caused a lot of arguments and bitterness among the tree people.

The ones that wanted to wipe out the Warrogs left at the end of the civil war to leave underground. The remaining tree people on the surface are the ones that held to the values that made the fountain of life choose them in the place. They settled themselves to be content with crippling the Warrogs.

But now the fountain of life wants them to also protect the Warrogs. It is like asking them to throw a party for someone who murdered their parents and siblings. It is utterly shameless to ask them to do that.
