I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means-Chapter 562 - 394 [World Tree New Bud]_2
The excessive profits involved were enough to tempt many.
However, this situation had existed for a long time, and the act of Human Nobles buying Elf Slaves had never ceased, which had led to a considerable amount of hostility among most of the Elves towards Humans.
The closer to the edge of the Elf Great Forest, the more common this sentiment was among Elves.
Not to mention, for example, Lis's former teammate, Ailina from the Yaya Mercenary Group, who was an outstanding Elf Ranger.
Although she had lived in Feis Kingdom for some time, she was still hostile when she found out that Lis was a noble of Feis, but after getting to know him better, she realized that he was not that kind of person and naturally became friends.
Lis had even received the [Silver Moon Protection] from the Moon and the Guardian Goddess Fenrir, and the milestone [Dear Friend of the Elf Clan], which provided great assistance for his future journey to the Elf Forest.

Lis's plan to head to the Elf Great Forest was not a sudden whim, but a considered decision.
His destination was the Elf Royal Court Jonor City, located within the Elf Great Forest!
In the memories of Lis's past life, during the 2.0 version [Total War], while various Human Kingdoms were fighting each other on the Fanor Continent, this ancient Elf Royal Court was destroyed for some unknown reason.
The entire Jonor City turned into a dead zone, and no one knew exactly what had happened on this piece of land.
The Elf Kingdom was secretive about it too, and they never disclosed the reason for the destruction of the Elf Royal Court.
Since the main battlefield for players was still where Human Kingdoms were at war, the Elf Great Forest was essentially a new map that had not been opened to players, so no player was involved in this major event.
However, Lis was sure that the destruction of the Elf Royal Court Jonor City seemed to be related to the Illiser Family of the Sun Elves.
After all, Jonor City was the territory of the Illiser family, and after its destruction, the Illiser family disappeared without a trace from the Elf Forest.
It wasn't until the 4.0 main storyline [World Tree Crisis] that some clues indicated that the destruction of Jonor City was caused by the Illiser family, seemingly related to the Abyss Prince Demogorgon.
However, Lis's goal was not to prevent the destruction of Jonor City, as that was not his concern.
The reason Lis aimed for the Elf Royal Court Jonor City was that sometime after its destruction, the Elves discovered an extremely precious and rare [World Tree New Bud] in the central area of the ruins of Jonor City!
That was already considered one of the most precious treasures in the Gaia Main World, especially for the beings living in the Gaia Main World.
The World Tree — the giant [Yggdrasil] — was one of the most grand features of the Gaia Main World.
Legend has it, the World Tree took root at the origin of the Gaia Main World, yet its roots and branches spread to many other planes, and before its disappearance, planar travelers could even use the World Tree's roots and branches to travel to other planes.
Because of the World Tree's wondrous nature, it had the ability to stabilize the foundation of the Gaia Main World and regulate the world's operation. In a sense, the World Tree had already become part of the Gaia Main World.
The World Tree held a very lofty status in the Gaia World, especially for the Elf Clan.
In the lore of the Elf Clan, the Elf God System's Main God [Creator, Guardian, and Ruler of the Elves], Correlon Larysian, was the first Original Elf born on the World Tree.
The most noble among the Elf Clan, the Sun Elves and Moon Elves, were special beings who possessed the bloodline heritage of the Original Elves.
Therefore, the World Tree [Yggdrasil] was revered as the Ancestor of Elves by the Elf Clan.
The Elf Clan, as well as the various ancient tree beings commonly found within them, all traced their heritage back to the World Tree.
However, the World Tree [Yggdrasil] had disappeared from the Gaia Main World a long time ago, and according to the Elf Main God Correlon, the World Tree had already fulfilled its duty and mission, and was now completely hidden within the essence of the Gaia World.
The World Tree disappeared from everyone's sight, but the legends of the World Tree did not disappear, and the treasures left by the World Tree still proved the traces of its existence.
Among these, the [World Tree New Bud] was one of the most precious treasures left behind.
Legend had it that the World Tree possessed the ability to grant immortality to others, and the [World Tree New Bud], containing the very essence of the World Tree's power, also had such ability.
But that was the least important ability of the [World Tree New Bud].
In the Holy Objects of the Elf Kingdom, one of the [World Tree New Buds] was used every year in the New Year's Festival and baptism held in the Elf Royal City, to bathe the Elf Clan's newborns and ancient trees with water soaked with [World Tree New Bud], bestowing upon them the most pure Life Power.
If it were only for that, it wouldn't have been particularly significant to Lis.
But Lis knew that if he could obtain and use the [World Tree New Bud], he could gain a Special Skill [World Tree's Favor].
This was what the Elf hero, Legendary Ranger Asor Alorotti, had achieved on the final battlefield against the Abyss Demons in version 4.0.
Not to mention, the first effect of [World Tree's Favor] permanently increased 2 Luck Points, which was an incredibly powerful boost.
