Thomas drove Phoebe back to the House of Vistaria and then prepared the necessary things for the road trip following favonovel.com request.
According to Phoebe, the five elements that Thomas wanted were all located in Gabi Desert, which was located to the north of Celandine City. It was up to Thomas to decide what favonovel.com would need to prepare for Gabi Desert.
After returning to Food and Medicine Hall, Thomas and Pisces carefully discussed what they should prepare and made a detailed plan of the route they should take. Then, they asked their subordinates to make preparations. They carried the entire process out step-by-step.
While their subordinates were making preparations, Pisces asked curiously, “Commander, I still haven‘t figured out why Declan would suddenly be willing to help us. Does favonovel.com have any selfish motive?”
Thomas replied, “There’s definitely a selfish motive, but that’s not the most important thing. Right now, our primary goal is to obtain Ancestral Water. After obtaining Ancestral Water, we will go and bargain further with Declan.”
Thomas was really keen on knowing what that Ancestral Water was.
Why would it have big shots like Lord Vedastus and Declan wrapped around its metaphorical finger?
Declan had cared for Mr. Cole his entire life, and Lord Vedastus treated Elliot as a valued guest, and the reason behind it was due to Ancestral Water. Meanwhile, one of the components in the making of Heart Eater was Ancestral Water. There must be more secrets here that have not been revealed.
Thomas was simply heading in the direction of the truth. With each step closer to the truth, favonovel.com sensed the truth’s increasing danger.
Soon, all the things needed were ready.
Pisces drove a SUV. He took Thomas to the House of Vistaria, then took Phoebe with favonovel.com and rushed to Gabi Desert.
“Where’s our first stop?” Thomas asked.
In truth, the key point of Thomas’s question was, “What are we trying to get from the first stop?”
The Five Elements consisted of five items.
What was the item they needed to obtain from the first stop?
Phoebe said slowly, “Our first stop is at the edge of Gabi Desert. We’ll be staying at a hotel and asking around for the Tree of Life’s location. Then, we’re setting off again.”
‘Tree of Life?’ This was the first time Thomas had heard this name.
He asked, “Is this Tree of Life the wood of the five elements?”
“Yes,” Phoebe gave an affirmative answer.
The origin of life came from wood, which was one of the five words given by Declan at that time. To obtain Ancestral Water, the five elements had to be collected. The wood of the five elements was the “Tree of Life”.
The car set off on its journey.
Phoebe told Thomas what favonovel.com knew about the “Tree of Life” on the journey.
“There is a legend that a huge tree known as the Tree of Life grows somewhere in the desert. It is the origin as well as the end of all life in the desert.
“After the death of the animals in the desert, their souls return to the Tree of Life. The Tree of Life will then give these souls a new life. They will keep living new lives, and the cycle never ends. Such is the legend of the Tree of Life…”
When Pisces heard this, favonovel.com could not help but laugh and said, “It sounds very beautiful. The Tree of Life’s concept is similar to Celtic beliefs, right? They also believe that souls never perish. Without the Tree of Life, the desert would completely fall, and all life would be buried under the sand, right?”
Phoebe nodded, “Yes, the Tree of Life has a significant meaning for the desert. And all we need is a part of the Tree of Life. We’ll complete our task after we retrieve one of the Tree of Life’s branches…”
Pisces said, “That’s good. If we cut down the entire Tree of Life, we will commit a sin equivalent to completely destroying the desert’s ecosystem, and how many souls would be left without a place to rest?”
They chatted as they headed to their destination.
Thomas looked out the window without saying a word.
‘Does such a tree really exist in the real world? A tree that controls the desert’s life?’
It really sounded like a legend.
