When the legendary beasts' spot was empty, there would be no one to replace the dead legendary beast until one of the heirs successfully became a legendary beast.
Most legendary beasts live past a thousand years, and could even live longer than that. Naturally, it was harder to become one.
In this era, the number of living legendary beasts had dwindled to the point of almost extinction.
Many sacred beasts with a chance to become a legendary beast still couldn't advance.
And when they exhausted their lifespan, they automatically passed down their bloodline to a new heir.
Then, the cycle started again from zero.
No wonder the phoenix mother disliked Blaze for being a mutant, because the chance to become a legendary beast was way lower for a mutant variant.
Especially when Blaze was a water phoenix who should be affiliated with blazing fire.
The mother phoenix, although a legendary phoenix, chose to abandon her child.
Yes, Blaze was actually a descendant of a legendary red fire phoenix!
But as for whether Blaze could become a legendary water phoenix or not…it depended on fate.
When Ainsley heard that she could name the world tree, the baby was bewildered for a moment before exclaiming softly.
"R-really? I can do that? Isn't that a special honor that not many can have? N-naming the young world tree…"
Ainsley subconsciously thought that it was better for Jake to name the world tree.
After all, she also just knew from Eth how the Billios Family became close to the elves.
If Jake was the one naming the young world tree, this world tree might be able to become an adult world tree with a consciousness.
But if it's her…
Ainsley hesitated, but Eth shook his head and encouraged Ainsley with his cold, unsmiling face.
"Don't mind it. Once the tree falls into your hands, it means its fate is tied to you and the Sloan Family. As for whether this fate is good or not…"
Eth shook his head once more.
"Even I can't predict it."
The elves aren't omnipotent, after all.
Ainsley was finally persuaded to name the world tree and she struggled to choose a few good names with good meanings.
In the end, she chose one name–
"Elpízo, " Ainsley murmured softly.
Elpízo means hope in Greek.
Of course, Greek didn't exist in this world, and the name became a whole new language for Eth.
But Eth subconsciously liked this name.
"Elpízo….good name."
It started with the word E, just like his name.
Eth was subconsciously excited because of this. If the world tree became a new adult world tree in the future…just how happy would he be?
An adult world tree that he planted with his own two hands, and had the same initial as him…
How good!
Ainsley actually wanted to name the world tree starting with A, to match it with Axelle. But thinking about the meaning of Axelle's name itself…
One is peace, and the other is hope.
That's also a match.
And so, the young world tree's name was decided.
"Welcome to the world, Elpízo."
As if knowing that a certain baby with an adult soul just granted it a name, the young world tree shook its lush leaves and it silently glowed in a pale golden light.
Eth immediately explained the phenomenon to Ainsley.
"This phenomenon will happen whenever a young world tree receives a name. It will trigger a chance to awaken its consciousness."
And the meaning of the name received would also have a subtle impact on the world tree's magical attribute when it became an adult world tree with a consciousness.
The current world tree had a great healing effect on both spirits, souls, body, and so on. It's because of the name it received–
Jayr.
Ainsley didn't know a lot about Greek and only knew one or two words with subtle meanings, so she didn't know that this name also originated from Greek, from Earth.
And it means 'healer'.
"Jayr…good name. Let's hope Elpízo can also become like Jayr and become the hope of your race…and the entire world."
Ainsley smiled sweetly and Eth also showed a rare smile. He really appreciated Ainsley's little wish and soon, the duo left the prairie walking side-by-side.
When they went back to the tea party's venue, they passed through the mansion's corridor, and didn't notice someone peeping at them from behind a huge pillar.
The person's medium-length blue ears twitched as the owner's black eyes looked at the male elf's back with a burning gaze.
"Eth…" Axelle murmured the name of a noble elf he once knew and bit his lips.
He didn't expect Eth to come here and even seemed to get along with Ain?
A subtle hint of jealousy appeared in Axelle's heart.
He clutched the hem of his lab coat and silently watched the two short and tall living creatures slowly leaving the corridor.
Seeing Ainsley talking cheerfully with the male elf, a certain thought suddenly appeared in Axelle's mind.
Now that Ainsley had seen the real pure-blooded male elf…would she disdain his impure bloodline?
A mixed breed between the king of the demon race and the elf princess…
A disgrace to both races, born with blue skin and shorter pointed ears compared to other elves…
Unable to have elemental special abilities, had black eyes, navy hair and a shorter body…
Axelle clenched his fists tightly as he slowly went back to his lab, his 'home' and safe heaven.
'Maybe after this, the little master won't like me anymore. Eth is also an alchemist, anyway…and a royal alchemist on top of that…plus a combat alchemist…'
On this supposedly happy day, Axelle strangely fell into a gloomy mood, slowly triggering a hidden danger in his other bloodline.
