Chapter 504: Chapter 240: A Thousand Trees Bloom in the Night Breeze, Stars Fall Like Rain

"Lilianna, what is that?"

In the newly built Atlantis City.

A little girl from the Grey Elf Tribe sat on the city wall, lifted her innocent face, and uttered words of curiosity.

In the Abyss, there is neither sun nor moon, nor the brilliance of stars.

Therefore, for the residents of the Elven Royal Court, every scene they saw upon leaving the Abyss and arriving at the Western Continent was an unprecedented novelty.

Beside her, Lilianna suddenly felt something in her heart and raised her head to look at the night sky beyond the city wall.

In the distant sky, a fire meteor tore through the silent dark canopy, its crimson glow illuminating the dome shrouded in night.

"A meteor?"

Watching the star falling from the distant sky, Lilianna couldn’t help but mutter unconsciously.

Lilianna was no longer the naive and ignorant Grey Elf Girl she once was but one of the leaders of the Elven Royal Court.

As an elder of the Council, she had entered the royal court’s great library to study the ancient texts said to have been meticulously read by Hathaway, passed down from the court’s most prosperous Glorious Era.

According to the records in the ancient texts.

In that radiant era when the deities existed— 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Every meteor that cut through the sky signified the fall of a great being capable of ascending the Divine Throne.

"In the Main Material Plane, has a True God truly fallen?"

Lilianna felt a twinge of foreboding rise in her heart.

According to records in the ancient texts, there were differences even among the Fabled Creatures.

Those who had just crossed the Legendary Limit were merely pure demigods, also referred to as Angels during the Glorious Era.

The so-called Angels served the deities; they barely entered the Divine Realm but couldn’t truly be called deities.

The divinity within a demigod was extremely thin, and the authority they held was mostly incomplete, merely fragmented shards unable to fully express the complete power in a domain,

Such demigods did not have the qualifications to coalesce their conceptual constellation in the Astral Realm... Even if they fell, due to their severely fragmented divinity and authority, their impact would be observable only in the Main Material Plane, unable to directly manifest an image in the Astral Realm.

Yet those who crossed beyond the demigod concept and qualified to be called deities had fully acquired the divine shards of a certain domain, mastering the complete authority of that domain.

For instance, the Goddess of Abundance who holds the authority of harvest, the Goddess of Life Emerald who presides over the domain of life... and also the War God and God of the Silver Moon.

Even during the Glorious Era, they qualified to be referred to as "God Subordinate" rather than "Angel."

And when catastrophes erupted and that Throne of Heaven became vacant, they became the great ones in the Main Material Plane, coalescing their illusory conceptual constellation in the Astral Realm, having their Religious Order and Divine Kingdom in the Western Continent.

They are truly supreme beings.

And precisely because of this, even in that most prosperous Age of Gods, the fall of deities was an exceedingly rare event.

Every time a meteor fell, it shook the continent, becoming a grand event inscribed into the racial legacy of all wise races who witnessed it.

And at this very moment—

The Elven Royal Court had only left the Abyss and returned to the Main Material Plane a few days ago, and already witnessed such a rare spectacle unseen for the past several millennia.

"Has the Western Continent grown chaotic to this extent?"

The foreboding in Lilianna’s heart became increasingly evident.

As an elder of the Council, having once been dispatched by the leadership to explore external intelligence, she had speculated about the present circumstances of the Western Continent.

The Throne of Heaven is vacant, Fabled Creatures roam the world...

Outbursts of divine conflicts would inevitably become quite frequent.

Yet, it was only now that Lilianna realized the extent of peril and chaos in the Western Continent might even surpass her expectations.

The meteor continued its descent.

It dragged a crimson gold tail blaze across the night, like a dream.

The surroundings echoed with the exclamations and sighs of the elves, every resident of Atlantis immersed in the beautiful stellar glow of the meteor, unable to extricate themselves.

However, watching the resplendent meteor, Lilianna’s heart slowly chilled.

If she were still the carefree Grey Elf Girl from before, then at this moment, Lilianna could have joined the surrounding elves, joyfully and exuberantly savoring the grand spectacle of the meteor before them.

But now, Lilianna was already an elder of the Council, one of the highest decision-makers of Atlantis City.

Every word and action she took directly correlated with the fate of tens of thousands of elves behind this city.

Thus, Lilianna had to discard the few girlish fantasies in her heart... and learn to become deep, steady, mimic the vague memory of the Golden Elf’s silhouette, and think from the perspective of a leader and superior.

With the current chaotic state of the Western Continent... even a True God who ascended the Divine Throne fell silently.

So—what if it were the Elven Royal Court instead?

In this lawless era, where deities are desperate for the ownership of the new Throne of Heaven, can Atlantis truly remain unscathed?

Upon receiving Shiayar’s teachings and completing the remaining knowledge of the Wizard, after years of hiding in the Abyss, Lilianna had already made significant progress.
