Half a day later.

In Vale Village, the elves had already prepared their things for departure. They had harnessed sturdy and majestic long-horned elks to sleds loaded with their belongings. These elks were larger and more impressive than regular steeds.

Elderly and young elves sat on canvas sleds made for passengers, while the young and robust elves carried weapons on either side.

After their preparations were complete, with a signal from Marianne, thousands of elves began to move.

There was more than one exit from this valley, and the elf convoy left through another, wider passage that allowed the long-horned elks and sleds to pass. Then, they sealed it off completely with stones, as a farewell to their past hardships.

Because of the long-horned elks and sleds, their progress was not slow. In just half an hour, they had covered over ten kilometers, and soon they would reach the embarkation point.

But before that, the group made a detour and arrived at a massive ice fissure that stretched for several kilometers and was dozens of meters wide, more than ten kilometers from the valley.

Marianne stood by the edge of the ice fissure, a hint of sadness in her eyes.

“Is this the place you mentioned, where your people are sealed?”

“Yes… it’s a seal, but also a confinement,” Marianne said in a somber tone.

“Lord Ji Chen, the reason we know the location of that divine weapon and the danger it poses is all thanks to one of our kin. She was the first to discover the location of the Fallen Sea.

She was a very brave elf, full of adventurous spirit. Kind-hearted yet resolute, she showed strong learning abilities and combat talent from a young age, along with natural leadership qualities.

So, we did our best to teach and nurture her, hoping she would become a leader among the young elves of Vale Village, and we expected her to lead our people in continuing the God War, though the God War is now in the past.

She did not disappoint us. Her combat skills became increasingly adept with age, and soon she became one of our most powerful elven warriors, even awakening her bloodline to become a heroic unit.”

At this point, pride filled Marianne’s face, as if this were her proudest achievement.

Ji Chen didn’t interrupt but listened quietly.

Marianne’s expression then dimmed, and she continued, “However, when she discovered the Fallen Sea and that divine weapon, something changed within her. She was too exceptional, too burdened by responsibility, to the point where she developed unwarranted pride and arrogance.

She believed she could control the divine weapon and use it to eliminate our enemies. Despite our repeated warnings, one day, she secretly went to the Fallen Sea…”

Ji Chen probably understood the subsequent developments. That trident contained the power of the ocean left behind by the gods. Its power was far beyond what ordinary races could bear, and the pressure it exerted, as if it could crush both body and soul, made it particularly memorable to him.

“…She couldn’t control the divine weapon and nearly got herself destroyed by it. Though she ultimately survived, she had gone insane. Her mind became extremely unstable, and she resorted to extreme behavior, consuming raw flesh and blood, no longer recognizing us, and even becoming aggressive. In the end, we had no choice but to confine her in this sealed ice fissure, attacking and detaining her without harming her, while regularly sending her food.”

At this moment, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in Margery’s sorrowful eyes.

“Lord Ji Chen, although this request may seem abrupt and excessive, the one who can undo the seal must be the one who has control over that divine weapon. Since you now possess it, perhaps you can save this poor child.”

A long pause followed.

Ji Chen let out a slow sigh and said, “I can’t guarantee that I can save her.”

Margery quickly responded, “Even if there’s only a slight possibility, we would like to try. We won’t hold it against you if it’s not successful. Perhaps this is the fate of this child.”

“What is her name?”

Tears welled up in Marianne’s eyes, as if she had recalled something.

With a hoarse and raspy voice, she spoke the name, as if it hadn’t been uttered in a long time.

“Elisya, her name is Elisya.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Chen didn’t say anything more; he simply nodded slightly.

Turning around, he instructed, “Alice, the three of you stay above to guard the elves. Herald, come with me down below.”

Among them, only Herald truly had the ability to fly and enter the ice fissure that was over a hundred meters deep. Ji Chen needed Herald to guide him down.

Herald bent down, exposing his wide and robust back. Herald’s body was very sturdy, more than capable of carrying Ji Chen.

With a flap of his wings, they descended quickly to the bottom of the ice fissure.

Ji Chen jumped down and looked around. He didn’t spot any humanoid creatures in sight. The bottom of the ice fissure was quite narrow, with an average width of only twenty to thirty meters. Most of the bottom and sides were covered by a thick layer of ice, with only a few exposed rocks adding some color to the otherwise icy landscape.

There were remnants of frozen food and the bodies of some deviant ghosts on the ground.

A series of shallow footprints extended deeper into the ice fissure.

Ji Chen, accompanied by Herald, followed the footprints. After passing a corner, they suddenly came upon a cave, where the trail of footprints disappeared at the entrance.

The all-seeing map showed a red dot deep within the cave. That should be the elf named Elisya..
