Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 491 Then who?

The \'Lost Treasure Tomb\' was only accessible once every hundred years, and its door always opened in the \'Sacred Divine Land\'. However, the number of people who could enter the Tomb was limited. That\'s why the Gladiator Arena was established to provide every individual with an equal chance to enter the tomb.

Countless powerful and influential individuals from various races would willingly come to oversee the numerous battles taking place in the \'Gladiator Arena\' to ensure the smooth operation of the event that lasted for months.

Those influential figures also aimed to prevent anyone above the transcendent rank from entering the \'Gladiator Arena\' or the \'Lost Treasure Tomb\' because it would be a huge disaster for each race if that person started slaughtering their people who could potentially become the strong pillars of their race in the future.

Amidst all this, it was a well-known fact that the battles that happened in the \'Gladiator Arena\' were brutal and bloody because the \'Lost Treasure Tomb\' offered resources that could help those who went inside reach the transcendent rank or maybe even a higher rank if they were fortunate enough to find something extraordinary.

Just who would pass up such an opportunity?

Also, killing was a norm in the Arena if the fighters are not stopped in time! That\'s why all those who stepped inside the Arena knew they were risking their lives.

Glacia rubbed her forehead. She wasn\'t concerned about Yue, but she could not believe the Queen suggested such a thing, even though the Queen knew that this time the Gladiator Arena would be even more chaotic than before as half of the \'Sacred Divine Land\' had been taken over by the dark and demon races after the first shadow general destroyed a part of it.

But before Glacia opened her mouth to speak, the Queen spoke up again.

"Just let her go. It\'s not like your master asked you to keep that girl on this planet. She only asked to bring her here once. Besides, we can\'t take care of her for long. Maybe I\'m being greedy, but I don\'t like that the tree of fate is showing interest in her."

"I don\'t want the tree to bestow the fruit of fate upon her because if it did, neither you nor I would be able to intervene. I want to protect my race. So, instead of giving the fruit to a young person who is still weak and untrustworthy, it\'s better if the tree chose someone more deserving."

Glacia released a deep breath and gave the Queen a quick nod before, unexpectedly, she uttered something that she herself thought would be impossible.

"What if Yue cleared the Gladiator Arena and earned a place in the Lost Treasure Tomb? She would definitely come back here... I know she hates me, but then she would also resent the elven race for throwing her into the bloody battles."

The Queen let out a faint smile.

"I never knew you thought so highly of her... that girl hadn\'t even reached the divine-rank. Do you really believe she could? But even if she did, she wouldn\'t hate the elven race. I saw it in her eyes; she isn\'t someone who can despise her own."

"Also... I heard she wanted to become stronger, so we are doing this to give her the opportunity to become stronger. We will also protect the people she brought with her in her absence. Her mother and her friend. This way, she would become a strong pillar of our race."

Glacia started laughing at the Queen\'s words. She covered her face to hide her smirk and shook her head.

"You are a good person, but I suppose even good people can turn a bit ruthless to safeguard what they hold dear."

"Also, you said she would become a strong pillar of our race. If she comes back, do you plan to send her to the war happening at the other end of the universe?"

The Queen looked at the middle-aged woman, who returned her gaze with a grin.

"We will see... it\'s something the future will determine. For now, just focus on what I asked you to do."

Glacia raised her hand to show an okay sign and quickly left the room to find the person they had talked about for so long. The Queen stared at her fading figure and placed her hand on her heart.

"It\'s strange... but even though I am sending that girl away, I have a feeling my race won\'t get the fruit of fate this time."

"My Queen..."

A faint voice echoed behind her, and another old figure materialized behind her. It was a white-haired old elven woman who had pledged to stay as the Queen\'s shadow to protect her from harm since the moment the King passed away. The white-

haired woman let out a hum.

"The tree of fate. I can sense it vividly... it has started to grow happier since that girl arrived on this planet."

The Queen started walking toward the room exit, and the white-haired woman vanished behind her after she hid her presence.

"Me too... that\'s why I am worried the tree wants to give Yue the fruit of fate."

She stopped in the doorway when the white-haired woman fell silent at her comment.

"What\'s the matter? Do you think I\'m being greedy too? Should I let her have the fruit?"

She waited for a few seconds just to hear a response from the white-haired woman, which came after a long silence.

"No, it\'s fine to be a bit greedy sometimes. But you know I have a deep connection with the tree as I have lived the longest on this planet, and... I have a feeling that it\'s not Yue the tree wants to give the fruit to."

The Queen\'s expression turned solemn.

"Then who? Someone from our race... or could it be the people who came with Yue?"

The hiding woman let out a silent sigh.

"I\'m not sure myself as I can\'t foresee the time that is yet to come. Maybe it\'s someone from our race, maybe it\'s someone related to that girl..."

She paused for a second.

"Or maybe it\'s someone who has yet to arrive on this planet."
