I Was The Hero, But I Woke Up as a Phoenix Princess! – Chapter 937

Chapter 178 The Tree of Life
Between the clash of the two divine swords, the cold moonlight surged violently, bringing with it endless darkness and silence. Verafia raised her divine law to resist, a chill covering her body, and the sounds of ice freezing and life shattering echoed in her ears.
She had no means to counter the encroaching chill, so she had to raise her head and question Elucia loudly, wanting to shake her resolve, at least to delay this endless tide of moonlight.
A dark light swept out. Where the moonlight longsword cut, darkness spread, like Elucia’s indifferent face.
“Verafia, I have told you… the life created by Sister Shiluseli, I want them to survive in that era of the deep sea.”
The moonlight longsword swept across, and the Tree of Life withered and froze. Elucia’s figure descended. In her hand, the Moonlight Scepter still restrained Ig. With just her sword edge, she was still powerful enough to suppress Verafia, who was also a goddess!
“But, that dark world, those lives polluted by your moonlight, can they truly be considered the civilization you created?”
Verafia raised her head and questioned. The long swords clashed, and instantly ice spread. The moonlight eroded her divine law riddled with holes. Beside her, countless surging moonlights were like a cage, forcing her to retreat and pushing her into a desperate situation.
“Verafia, you don’t need to try to persuade me.”
Elucia’s eyes were clear and cold. With just a ripple of her fingertips, the longsword sang, and ripples spread across the moonlight, revealing dark colors.
“You are the Goddess of Life, you should be able to see, this darkness does not just originate from my power. It originates from the beliefs of the Moon People, and it is also the choice of the Night Elves.”
With a soft clang, Elucia swung her sword. Fluorescent light flickered, like silk brushing past, cutting through the darkness, yet merging into it.
She looked at Verafia in the distance, forced to the end of the moonlight. She slightly raised her face, showing a faint, indifferent smile.
“As for the darkness that merges into the moonlight, the so-called dissolution of will and existence… However, if it can truly bring eternal moonlight, and merge my existence into the laws of moonlight, wouldn’t that be an unacceptable fact?”
“Verafia, like me, you are also a goddess. You should know that this is just another form of existence for deities. Would you care about such mortal concerns?”
This young lady naturally cared!
She still wanted life and flowers, sunlight and warmth, soft and pure white flowers blooming beside her, and then on such beautiful days, she would grudgingly accept the proposal of some idiot…
In the future, she might even raise a few little phoenixes and travel with them!
Compared to being a goddess, she was first and foremost a beautiful girl who looked forward to the future. She was unwilling to turn into cold laws like Elucia.
Verafia wanted to retort, but the surging moonlights around her, like a cage, confined her laws, forcing her to barely wield her sword to block. She had no chance to make a sound.
“So that’s how it is.”
Elucia’s eyes dimmed. Her eyelashes closed slightly. Suddenly, her figure appeared beside Verafia, and she swung the moonlight longsword down!
Like a translucent silver mirror, the moonlight rapidly expanded in Verafia’s eyes. She saw even more: the cold, lightless deep sea, and a dark, silent deep space.
Moonlights like chains divided and tore her laws, freezing them into shattered ice fragments. Verafia had nowhere to retreat. She had to grit her silver teeth, and her longsword ignited with the fire of life, drawing a bright streak of life in the cold night.
Boom, boom, boom—
Brilliant emerald light reflected on half of the cold night, but under the silver moon, it was rapidly disintegrating. The two divine swords collided, and the icy moonlit radiance spread to her flesh and blood.
In the moonlight cage, Verafia could only grit her silver teeth and face the moonlight of the entire world with her sword of life.
However, how could she, alone, face a night sky, a deep sea?
Perhaps her sword edge could inflict irreversible law damage on Elucia, but along with her Godhead of Life, she would also surely freeze in this cold moonlight.
She couldn’t even save Ig. Even the vow she made to Shiluseli could not save the world eroded by Elucia’s moonlight.
“No, there’s still…”
Verafia lowered her face with difficulty. Under the constantly eroding moonlight, it was incredibly difficult for her to even move her fingers. Her faintly flickering gold eyes looked at her cold, tender hand tightly grasping the sword of life.
She was the Goddess of Life, a leaf of the Tree of Life, the fire seed of life… And what she held was Mistetinn’s Staff, the seedling of the World Tree.
As long as she could break free from Elucia’s moonlight and let life respond to her call again.
The moment the young girl had this thought, the moonlight beside her suddenly surged. Elucia’s cold face raised her willow eyebrows, and the life scepter in the moonlight river trembled.
At this moment, the End Sword Light cried out. Verafia couldn’t help but turn her head; the black-haired young man struggled to stand up in the moonlight river.
Due to the backlash of forcibly violating the laws, Ig’s entire body’s flesh and blood cracked, and blood flowed out. But his pair of azure blue eyes remained as firm as ever. The End Sword Blade slashed down with his arm.
As the longsword fell, brilliant white eternal radiance emerged, and the bursting radiance tore the moonlight cage to shreds. Verafia gritted her silver teeth and slashed down with her sword of life. The unbound laws of life instantly erupted, and her figure shot thousands of miles away.
Verafia drew her longsword, only able to suppress her worry for Ig. The moment she was away from the moonlight, the re-condensed laws of life enveloped her delicate body, and a touch of emerald green appeared on her chest, which was her Godhead of Life.
However, the cold moonlight followed closely behind. Even if Elucia was killed by the Eternal Sword, a distance of a thousand miles was still only an instant for her.
“Is this your seed of life?”
Elucia said, she understood the girl’s state of mind and suddenly smiled, “Verafia, you said we would have better choices. Then, let me witness, the successor of Shiluseli, what right do you have to say such things.”
After speaking, she drew her Moonlight Scepter. The moonlight river that had been restraining Ig rose like a galaxy. The scepter and the sword edge overlapped, and endless moonlight flickered, converging into a torrent that tore through the sky and attacked the young girl in the divine radiance of life!
The moonlight instantly filled her vision. Verafia had already taken out her Godhead. Even as a goddess, being hit by the moonlight torrent would surely result in heavy injuries, and her Godhead would be eroded, even shattered!
However, when she activated her Godhead and raised Mistetinn’s Staff, Verafia had already made her choice.
Like the Tree of Life left by Shiluseli in the abyssal ocean, green branches and vines grew behind the girl. And she herself seemed to have transformed into the fire seed of life, with even more brilliant vitality growing in the flames!
Dense emerald leaves bloomed continuously on the branches, representing the heat of life, the color of life, illuminating the cold night.
In the dark night of moonlight, Verafia also chose to transform herself into a Tree of Life!
