The Shining Star Above The Heaven-Chapter 910: Sylvia’s New Home

Aldrian then slowly landed toward one side of his palace’s garden ground where he had already prepared a special spot for the Tree of Life. The spot was located in the wide field surrounded by many kinds of flowers that would add to the beauty once the Tree of Life was placed there.

As they continued approaching the land, they finally could clearly see the spot where a large hole had already been created. Aldrian looked at Sylvia with a smile.

"Sylvia, that will be where you stay now," he said while pointing at the big hole.

Sylvia’s face grew even more ecstatic, and she just couldn’t help but move her tree body as if she couldn’t wait to be planted there.

After a few minutes, they finally landed on the ground, and Aldrian slowly placed the large tree in the hole. After he thought the position was right, he moved the large pail of soil to cover the tree’s roots. Sylvia also began to move her roots as she spread them underground to stabilize her body and embed herself into the ground.

After a few moments, all was done, and finally the Tree of Life could be said to be safely settled there. Sylvia happily moved her body up and down in Aldrian’s arms as she looked at her body finally settled in this place.

"You can look at your surroundings first, enjoy your new environment," Aldrian said while he loosened his hug, which allowed Sylvia to fly.

With a happy face she flew away and looked at her surroundings, observing all of it. There were many kinds of things that were not present when she was only under the World Tree. Here she could see the blue sky, the sun, many kinds of animals, and so on.

Although in the distant past her real body already had a similar place where the Tree of Life was planted, that had only been in her tree form. Her ability to understand something new and to move was very limited, which made her cognitive ability lacking compared to when the tree already had a spirit.

At this moment, her body flew around her real body, and her gaze moved here and there as if she wanted to study many things, but she was confused about what to start with.

Aldrian and Sylphia, who were looking at her behavior, smiled. They felt glad that Sylvia was happy with this new place, to the point that she seemed more curious about her surroundings than staying clinging to Aldrian.

Her spirit and true body, full of life laws, instantly showed their miracle as they attracted many animals and nourished the already fertile soil. Birds and insects started to come, flowers swayed as if they felt happy with the new presence nearby, and the soil that had just been used to bury the Tree of Life’s roots also began to grow small plants.

All of it happened so fast that it amazed Sylphia.

Sylvia, who saw many birds coming to her, decided to play with them as they flew together. Aldrian and Sylphia kept observing Sylvia playing for a few minutes when a few figures approached them with astonished expressions, their gazes locked onto the big tree.

Aldrian turned to look at his parents, along with his women and Eleine, who were walking in his direction.

Sylvia, who sensed a few figures approaching him, suddenly dashed toward him and crashed into his back as she tried to hide from the newcomers. Seeing Sylvia like that, Aldrian could only give a small sigh and try to calm her.

"It’s okay, Sylvia. They are my family, and they are yours too, so greet them."

Sylvia peeked from behind Aldrian’s back toward the newcomers, then turned to see Aldrian’s smiling face, which encouraged her to be a bit braver. He then picked Sylvia up from behind him and carried her in front to show her to his parents.

Finally, his family arrived and looked at Sylvia’s cute face, which was also curiously observing them.

"Who is this adorable child?" Irene suddenly asked as she walked closer and slightly bent her body to look at Sylvia much closer, softly pinching her cheek.

Sylvia, understanding that the person in front of her did not show any ill intent, did not resist. Instead, she looked at Irene with a curious gaze while hugging Aldrian’s neck.

"She is the spirit of this big tree, Sylvia, and the tree is called the Tree of Life. Sylvia is quite a shy spirit, so she is still not used to people she does not know, but as time passes she will open up to those close to her," Aldrian replied with a smile.

The others who heard it finally understood, but then Aldrey asked,

"Where did you get this tree from? I feel a refreshing sensation throughout my body even when I only look at it, and now that I am close to it, it feels as if my entire body is rejuvenated and even my thought process seems much clearer and calmer."

"I got this tree from Empress Vilena of the Verdyn Empire of the continent of elves. Well, let’s say I bartered this tree with something else so I could bring it here," Aldrian replied.

His father nodded. Although he did not understand the exact reason Aldrian decided to bring the tree here, he believed it must be for a good purpose. He could sense how special the tree was, and perhaps Aldrian brought it here precisely because of how special it was.

He then looked again toward Sylvia, who by this moment was already braver as she curiously looked at Irene and the others, although she was still in Aldrian’s arms. Aldrey couldn’t help but imagine a future where Aldrian had his own children as he watched him holding Sylvia like that.

Aldrey smiled and also interacted with Sylvia. Baek Jimin and Angelica followed as they were also curious about Sylvia, and they conversed with Sylphia as well. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Not far from them, the Spirit Ancestor with her two companions also arrived and looked toward the tree. The Spirit Ancestor showed an astonished expression on her old face as she saw the Tree of Life.

"Isn’t that the Tree of Life?" she asked.

Her retainer was shocked upon hearing that. "The Tree of Life? One of the sacred trees hidden beneath the Verdyn Empire capital’s World Tree?"

"How could the elves give one of their sacred trees to someone else? This is unprecedented. And that child..." the guardian said, also in astonishment.

The Spirit Ancestor nodded solemnly. "That child is the spirit of the Tree of Life, and she seems close to His Majesty for her to cling to him like that. From the feeling I received, I am confident in assuming that this spirit child—no, more precisely, the Tree of Life—has a much more extraordinary origin than I thought, even more extraordinary than the origin of our race."

Hearing that, both of her companions were even more shocked.

Something greater than the origin of their own spirit race? Their spirit race was beloved by the heavens, and the heavens themselves granted them special privileges that other beings did not have.

If the Tree of Life, which was the source of the spirit child, had an even more special origin, then was she created directly by the heavens, or something else?

They continued to look at the Tree of Life and Aldrian’s interaction with his family for a moment before they stepped away to give Aldrian and his family private time.

Aldrian and his family conversed under the Tree of Life, with him moving a long table and chairs from another place to set them beneath the tree. They spent a long time talking with one another, speaking about many things, mostly his experience in the Northern Star Cluster.

---------------------------------

While Aldrian and his family were still enjoying their time together, the news of the alliance force returning to their home worlds spread to the nearby star clusters and even beyond that. After hearing about it, many factions from those star clusters sent their envoys to visit the Central Star Cluster.

Of course, their specific purpose was to visit Aldrian, who was said to be the leader of the alliance force. They had already heard his name and how powerful he was, but not all powers had decided to visit him at first. Some still thought it was not in their interest to build communication with Aldrian.

Even when they heard about the intention of the alliance troops from the Central Star Cluster wanting to liberate the Northern Star Cluster, they still did not move much.

However, with the Northern Star Cluster liberated from the devils, all of those factions could no longer hold themselves back from wanting to meet Aldrian.

From the ones who had roots in the Northern Star Cluster to the ones who suddenly gained interest because of the situation there, all of them did not waste any time and decided to visit him.

They could not afford to lose to other factions in forming a connection with Aldrian and involving themselves in the matter of the Northern Star Cluster!
