Looking at the surprised expressions of the Elf Queen and the woman in white, Shi Lei knew that the answer to the mystery of his soul's wings might be found here.
"Dark spirits? You are light elves. Are the two opposites?" Shi Lei vaguely guessed something.
The Elf Queen nodded excitedly. The elves are divided into light elves and dark elves, which are divided by the environment where their ancestors were born.
The ancestors of the light elves were born in a season when the sun was shining brightly and flowers were in bloom, so their hearts were full of sunshine and beautiful imaginations of life, while the ancestors of the dark elves were born on corpses and rotten wood, and their hearts were full of evil.
After a long period of time, the two evolved independently. The light elves and the dark elves did not interact with each other, and even if they met occasionally, they rarely said hello.
"You said that my soul wings were dark elves in their previous lives?" Shi Lei asked.
The Elf Queen nodded and looked at Shi Lei with a look of love, regret and regret in her eyes.
"I heard that there is a girl named Ruo'er who also has a pair of soul wings like this?" The woman in white glanced at the queen, sighed inwardly, and then asked.
Shi Lei nodded, hesitating whether he should talk about Qianruo's changes or not. It seemed like they should know something about it.
"How is she now? Did your souls awaken at the same time?" The woman in white showed a hint of surprise.
"I haven't asked her, but according to speculation, the time should be about the same." Shi Lei thought for a while and said.
"Perhaps her soul's previous life was really Xue'er." The woman in white looked at the queen.
The Elf Queen nodded, took a few deep breaths, and tried to calm herself down.
"Shi Lei, you and the girl named Qian Ruo must be very much in love, and it was love at first sight." The Elf Queen looked at Shi Lei carefully, not knowing what to think.
"It used to be, but now..." Shi Lei decided to tell them the matter. It might be able to explain Qianruo's changes. If he kept hiding it, he might miss the way to treat Qianruo.
"What's going on now?" the queen and the woman in white asked eagerly, seeming to be very concerned about Qianruo.
Shi Lei let out a long sigh and told them about Qian Ruo's changes, hoping to find the answer.
"You said her wings slowly turned from cyan to snow white, right?" the Elf Queen frowned.
Shi Lei nodded and suddenly discovered that Qianruo's white wings were very similar to those of the Elf Queen!
"It's Xue'er, poor child." The Elf Queen suddenly burst into tears and became sad. The originally clear starry sky outside slowly dimmed, and a light rain began to fall.
The elves have a mysterious connection with the world and nature. The emotions of the strongest elves like the Queen can affect the surrounding environment.
"Xue'er is the Queen's most beloved daughter, but it was more than a hundred years ago... Hey, this also has something to do with you." The woman in white said softly when she saw Shi Lei was confused.
"It has something to do with me too? What do you mean? This is my first time here." Shi Lei was a little confused.
"To be precise, it has something to do with your natal soul. In his previous life, he was the prince of the dark elves." The woman in white explained, and then told some things.
It turns out that the light elves and the dark elves cannot stay together. For the hundreds of millions of years since they appeared, they have always been in peace with each other and have no contact with each other in life or death.
However, a hundred years ago, Xue'er, the little princess of the light elf, accidentally met the prince Mo of the dark elf during a play. From then on, the two often played together without telling everyone.
Slowly, the two grew up, and developed a deep friendship for each other unconsciously. When the Elf Queen and the Lord of Darkness discovered it, it was already too late.
The little princess's original snow-white wings gradually turned into cyan, and Mo's original black wings also turned into cyan. The two of them became the only ones of the two tribes with cyan wings.
Regardless of the opposition of both families, the two decided to stay together. They had no choice but to forcefully separate them. But unexpectedly, they escaped and planned to escape from the forest, but what they didn't expect was that
They mistakenly entered the center of the restriction. When people from the two tribes arrived, they saw their bodies being shattered by the force of the restriction, and their souls flying out.
In the elven lineage, most of the souls of people who died will still choose to be among the elves, as the natal souls of others, nourishing new lives.
But Xue'er and Mo knew that if their souls still stayed in the Elf Kingdom, tragedy would inevitably happen again, so their souls drifted out and slowly traveled through several states and counties, but neither found a suitable one.
candidate.
It wasn't until she went to Yunzhou that Xue'er was attracted by Liu Qianruo's aura and voluntarily erased her consciousness and became her natal soul. However, Mo continued to wander for a few years until Lin Meng became pregnant with Shi Lei.
Searching for it will also erase his spiritual consciousness and become the nourishment for Shi Lei's life soul.
"According to Mo Qilin's speculation at the time, my soul awakened a year late, probably because I was waiting for Qian Ruo to awaken at the same time!" Shi Lei suddenly realized.
"I didn't expect that you could actually possess the skills of the dark elf during his lifetime. It seems that the two of them really love each other, otherwise they would not have left their soul wings." The woman in white sighed softly. Xue'er was her disciple and she had raised her since childhood.
When I was growing up, I never imagined that such a tragedy would happen.
"Then will I have some of his memories? And why did they choose Qianruo and me? Did they know that we would meet each other in a few decades?" Shi Lei still had many questions.
"The elves have the most mysterious ability in the world, which is super induction. They must have felt that you will be together and truly love each other, so they chose you." The woman in white wiped the corners of her eyes gently.
It seems that he also has deep feelings for Xueer.
"As for the memory you mentioned, it is absolutely impossible. The moment the soul enters the body, the memory of the previous life will be completely wiped out by the force of nature. Only the strong men of the Twelve Bridges in the late martial arts can resist this power.
However, Xue'er and Mo are only eighth-level elves and cannot have this kind of power." The woman in white shook her head.
Shi Lei frowned. He originally suspected that the picture in his mind was related to Mo, but it seemed impossible.
"Why did Qianruo's wings return to snow-white color again? What does this mean?" Shi Lei shook his head and then asked.
"This is because she was desperate for that relationship at that time, and her soul wings will slowly return to their original state. Young people, the elves have always been dedicated people. Although she is not Xue'er herself, she has benefited from it.
Because of the nourishment of Xueer's soul, when she is heartbroken, the elf's wings will also change. This shows that she is really heartbroken." The woman in white sighed quietly, love in the world is the most difficult to understand.
.
"I'm the bastard. I'm sorry for Qian Ruo." Shi Lei felt pain in his heart when he thought of Qian Ruo's vomiting of blood and fainting. "Then do you know why she became like that, and men can't get close to her."
The woman in white and the queen looked at each other and shook their heads. The elves had never heard of such a thing. Even in the Star-Moon Continent, it was probably the only one that existed.
Shi Lei's rising hope was shattered again. What happened to Qian Ruo was indeed unbelievable, but it was real.
"I wonder if I have a chance to meet Miss Qianruo, even just once." The Elf Queen seems to love Xue'er very much. The pain of losing a daughter is very understandable.
"But, Your Majesty, you have to know that she is...not Xue'er anymore." The woman in white said softly.
"I know, I know, I just want to meet him." The Queen was very sad, "Let the Lord of Darkness meet Shi Lei. After all, he lost his only son. I understand his feelings deeply."
"Okay, but it will take three days before the Dark Door can be opened." The woman in white nodded.
Although light and darkness are opposites, there has never been a war or even a conflict between the light elves and the dark elves, which is rare.
Since the tragedy of Xue'er and Mo more than a hundred years ago, the leader of the dark elves, the Lord of Darkness, has sealed his domain and only opens it every once in a while, because some bad guys who break into the forest without authorization need to be equally cold and ruthless
To deal with the dark elves, it also needs some energy exchange with the outside world.
This is the kingdom of elves, the world of elves, so outsiders are not allowed to invade.
"Why have you been staying here? What's going on with the restrictions here?" Shi Lei asked curiously.
"We don't know, there is just a legend, we don't know whether it is true or not. Tens of thousands of years ago, you could still come and go freely. At that time, there were existences across the ninth level in the elves, who became four-winged angels and were accepted as gods.
Messenger, since then the height of the elves has far surpassed the status of humans and monsters." The Queen said proudly.
"I just don't know why, but the four-winged angels offended God, so God was furious and executed the four-winged angels. Our elves were also cursed and sealed here, never to leave." The Queen's expression darkened.
, "So if we encounter a restricted area, we will die immediately, and even if it is an exit, we will not be able to get out."
"Is there really a god? Is it a god who cultivates Taoism or a god who cultivates his body?" Shi Lei's eyes showed confusion. Nowadays, martial saints are very rare on the mainland. The Emperor Wu also had no idea after the last war between humans and demons.
They disappeared one after another. As for the Martial God, no one on the Star-Moon Continent seemed to have succeeded in cultivating it.
"We believe in the existence of gods, but they are too far away from us. In addition, in the past tens of thousands of years, the elves have produced many masters, including ninth-level ones, but they have never been able to break the restriction. But we have gradually gotten used to it.
It’s nice to live here without the interference of outsiders.” The Queen smiled slightly.
Shi Lei nodded, this is a paradise for business, it is indeed a good place.
After asking a few more questions, Shi Lei resigned and continued to recover from his injuries.
"Your Majesty, do you think he will be the person in the prophecy?" the woman in white asked softly.
