I Was The Hero, But I Woke Up as a Phoenix Princess! – Chapter 957

Chapter 3 Scepter of Life
More than a year ago, Verafia took the World Tree, which was sown in the Moonlight Divine Realm, and rooted it in the mortal world. Afterwards, the towering giant tree of life stood tall, becoming a new holy land for the elves.
In other words, this plane that truly carries the World Tree is, to some extent, also her uncreated Divine Realm of Life?
Lingering in mid-air, the surrounding life elements touched the goddess’s tender skin joyfully like elves.
A hint of gentleness flowed from Verafia’s slightly raised golden eyes. As the goddess of life, she could feel the attachment of these elemental spirits to her.
However, upon arriving at this Divine Realm of Life where the World Tree was rooted, Verafia naturally did not just come to appease these little spirits who missed her.
Her divine sense gently touched them. The elemental spirits, formed by the laws of life, understood the goddess’s intentions. Their spiritual expressions revealed reluctance, but they still obediently dispersed.
The enchanting scene gradually faded, and a crystal-clear jade life tree reappeared before Verafia’s eyes.
On the life tree, there was a maiden. She had the exact same face as Verafia, but as if glimpsed in Silus Lise’s dream, her soft, emerald green hair quietly adorned her delicate body.
The maiden on the sacred tree lightly veiled her slender eyelashes, gently covering a pair of beautiful eyes. Her slightly transparent delicate body was like a condensation of pure life radiance, quietly immersed in the sweet dream of life.
The emerald tree before her was the World Tree of Life that Verafia had truly planted. As for the beautiful maiden on the sacred tree, she was naturally her as well.
However, compared to her current self, that was the condensation of Verafia’s divine nature as the goddess of life.
Verafia walked closer to the lush, verdant green tree. Her golden eyes gazed as her slender hand lightly touched and picked a crystal branch from the life tree.
The crystal green light lingered between the girl’s pure white little hands. The broken branch in her hand gradually condensed into a slender staff, imbued with the aura of life. An ancient and obscure aura wafted towards her, which was exactly Verafia’s former Mistetinn’s Staff.
Of course, this was not the true “Scepter of Life.” The true Mistetinn’s Staff was a sapling of a World Tree, planted by Verafia in the Moonlight Divine Realm, which had now become an immortal giant tree bearing the sky of the elves.
After all, it concerned the lives of countless elves. Unless truly threatened, Verafia would naturally not truly bring out this World Tree to fight.
However, about to leave the Elf Forest and go to the Empire and Peka, facing Moon and Ilis, even as a goddess, Verafia was still not very confident, so she chose to snap off a branch of the World Tree as her weapon.
Her beautiful feet gently landed, creating a ripple in the dream world. She slightly raised her face, and suddenly her eyelashes trembled. She felt something, and her heart stirred slightly. On the other side of the Divine Realm of Life, two figures appeared.
Well, after all, it was her world. Although it wandered outside the concepts of matter and spirit, as long as she allowed it, it could still accept visitors from outside the divine realm.
“Eh, is that Ig and Andes?”
Verafia clearly saw the faces of the two arrivals. Her jade hand slightly clasped the Scepter of Life, and she said in surprise.
“Veer.”
Igor showed a gentle smile and softly stroked the girl’s soft temple hair. However, upon seeing Verafia’s semi-transparent divine incarnation on the sacred tree, his expression became a little worried.
“Veer, you haven’t recovered yet. Why don’t we postpone our departure for a bit longer?”
He knew that his girl had suffered considerable depletion in the war against the Goddess of Moonlight a year ago. This depletion had caused her to stay in the World Tree for a full year.
Although the girl appeared exceptionally lively, her cute expression was as bright and moving as the spring sunlight, but Igor knew that she had not recovered her full power as the goddess of life.
Otherwise, the girl would not have needed to continue nurturing her divine nature in the World Tree.
“Mm, actually, it’s almost there. Moreover, the depletion of divine nature from now on cannot be recovered in a short time. Even if I rest for another half a year, I won’t recover much power.”
Verafia slightly tilted her beautiful face, looking at the young man’s face. The eyelashes on her golden eyes fluttered, and she turned around again. Her pure white slender hands lightly gripped her skirt, looking at the scene outside the World Tree.
“Besides, now is not the time for this young lady to waste too much time. Fatter has urged me many times, Ilis, and Moon… Siya is still in his hands.”
She saw the worry in the young man’s eyes. She slightly curled her lips and suddenly let out a chuckle. Her slender jade hand gently pulled his, and her slightly raised gorgeous golden eyes reflected a moving luster.
“Idiot Igor, I am a goddess. You don’t need to worry. Even now, that guy Moon is definitely no match for this young lady!”
Hearing the girl’s cute voice, even though he knew she was comforting him, Igor couldn’t help but relax slightly, showing a relaxed expression.
Andes, standing beside him, lowered his head and said, “Goddess, I’m sorry. It’s because of me…”
“Don’t say that!”
Verafia interrupted him, raising her golden eyes: “Moreover, saving Siya from Moon is something this young lady wants to do herself. Andes and Princess Siya have both saved me and Igor. The goddess is not ungrateful!”
Standing aside, looking at the girl’s cute profile, Igor showed a gentle smile.
He had always known that although Verafia always said she was a cold and selfish girl, in reality, she had never forgotten her friends, nor had she forgotten the kindness she had received.
Verafia’s little hands lightly tied the soft strands of hair under the exquisite hairpin. The gorgeous golden strands slipped down, revealing exquisite silver. She had always worn the gift that Igor had given back to her.
“By the way.”
The girl seemed to remember something, tilting her beautiful head slightly, her beautiful big eyes looking at the faces of Igor and Andes. “Why do Igor and Andes have time to look for this young lady? Have you and Raunors and the others already made arrangements?”
Although Verafia was the goddess of the elves, she did not interfere much with political affairs, only appearing a few times at the request of Raunors.
For the past few weeks, the preparations and mobilization of the elf army, as well as contact with the Empire, had been handled by Igor, the Grand Knight Commander of the “Sacred Tree Knights,” and Andes, the Empire’s liaison, together with the Elf Queen.
Considering the time, it was almost the time of the agreement, so Igor had come to the World Tree to find her?
