[🥳 New Novel Is Up Guys— "Starting Off By Confessing To My Classmate's 41 Years Old Mother", please support. 🤜🏻🤛🏻]
Am I really about to become a father out of nowhere?
And from a child born out of a tree?
This is ridiculous.
Rhodes stood there, speechless, and even the forest banshee beside him looked completely dumbfounded.
Watching as the mother tree, now towering thousands of meters high, nurtured an embryo rapidly developing before their eyes, she could only stare at Rhodes in disbelief.
Could a few drops of his blood really cause the mother tree to grow to such an extent?
Who is this guy?
The roots of the Tree of Life held up the massive embryo, feeding it with the overwhelming life force that now pulsed through the forest. With each heartbeat, the sound echoed from within the embryo. Finally, with a soft puff, the golden cocoon fully formed and then dissipated in a rain of light.
A tall, fair-skinned woman stood up from her crouched position. Her long, golden hair gleamed like sunlight, and her emerald eyes radiated an intense life force. She wore golden leather armor, and her pointed ears gave away her elven heritage. Her face was cold, proud, and beautiful, with faint flame-like patterns glowing on her exposed skin. The magic surging around her was so powerful that it even surpassed that of the forest banshee. It was almost on par with that of a demigod.
She was the first elf born from this newly transformed Tree of Life—blessed by nature, favored by the very essence of the tree.
Her power was unmatched from birth, as if the world itself had bestowed upon her the strength of a semi-god.
"An elf? No… something's different."
Rhodes rubbed his chin, carefully observing the woman before him.
Most elves wielded the power of nature. Their magic was often tied to the earth, to plants and vegetation. But this elf radiated something entirely different. It was like a miniature sun, exuding scorching flames.
The aura she emitted was eerily similar to Rhodes' own solar magic, and mixed with the potent life force, there was also a hint of his own undying vitality.
Beyond that, traces of disaster magic, commandment power, and the strength of his unique magical attributes lingered around her. It was as though she had inherited much of his essence—but in a more diluted form.
Of course, her strength was nowhere near Rhodes', but there was no mistaking it: this elf was born from him. The Tree of Life, nourished by his blood, had passed on many of his magical traits to the being it birthed.
This elf was far more than just a creature of nature. She was powerful, aggressive even, with magic far more destructive than any ordinary elf.
In truth, the Tree of Life had changed. With the infusion of his blood and magic, it had evolved, becoming something beyond its original form. No longer a mere Tree of Life, it had become an Ancient Sun Tree, embodying both life and fire.
Naturally, the elves born from such a tree wouldn't be like the common elves of legend. They were something new.
"Maybe I should call them High Elves… or perhaps Sun Elves," Rhodes muttered to himself.
This new race of elves was his creation—born from his bloodline. Their strength, their power, even the tree they emerged from, all traced back to him. In many ways, he was the progenitor of this entire clan.
If this race could grow and prosper, maybe they could rival even the elven kingdoms of old. If thousands of these elves worshipped him, it was entirely possible that Rhodes could ascend to godhood, becoming the High Elven Ancestor, or even the Sun God.
Of course, building such a foundation would take time. Perhaps thousands of years would pass before this new race could accumulate the numbers necessary for such a feat. And even then, it was no easy task to ignite the divine fire and become a true god.
But unlike many demigods who would never get such an opportunity in their lifetime, Rhodes could see a path. It was a long road, but at least there was hope.
"Father!"
The moment the woman opened her eyes, she immediately sensed the bond she shared with Rhodes through their shared bloodline. Kneeling on one knee, her face radiated respect and admiration.
Puff!
Rhodes almost choked, feeling like he was about to cough up blood.
This woman, who bore such a striking resemblance to him, actually called him father?
Although the bloodline connection explained it, it was still hard to accept on an emotional level.
Whether he liked it or not, the fact remained unchanged.
However, he couldn't help but think it was awkward. He, a serious man who hadn't even been married, having a gorgeous elf with an incredible figure call him father? It didn't seem right. To anyone unaware of the situation, this would definitely look bad. They might even think he was some kind of degenerate with a twisted fetish.
No, this had to change. He couldn't let it stand.
"You don't need to call me father anymore. From now on, call me Ancestor!"
Rhodes thought it over and felt that Ancestor was a much more fitting title.
"As for you, I'll name you Gloria, the Queen of the High Elves, the Sun Elf Gloria!"
This first Sun Elf, born from the Ancient Sun Tree, was naturally the most talented. As the first of her kind, she was destined to lead the Sun Elves, favored by nature and the will of the world itself. With her inheritance of his magical attributes, she was the perfect queen for this new race.
Rhodes glanced at the Pool of Life, where more High Elves were being conceived. However, these elves wouldn't be as fortunate as Gloria.
At best, they could inherit only part of his magical traits. Their power wouldn't exceed the level of a holy realm being.
While the Ancient Sun Tree was powerful, it couldn't mass-produce sanctuary-level elves.
Even the original Tree of Life, which had grown for tens of thousands of years in the Elf Forest, couldn't achieve that.
At most, the second batch of High Elves would reach the Sanctuary level, and by the third, they'd be capped at the legendary rank. But their numbers would be limited.
"The first three generations will have the most potential, but they'll also consume most of the tree's resources."
After the fourth generation, more Sun Elves would be born, but their strength would decline to just below legendary rank. Still, even at that level, they'd be stronger than the average elf.
Rhodes was confident in his bloodline.
With the sun's power, disaster magic, commandment magic, and his innate attributes, these High Elves would crush most magical creatures. If they inherited even one of his abilities, they'd be powerful beyond measure.
And if they could inherit several at once, they'd be unrivaled at their level.
