Doomsday Code

Chapter 642 Goes Deeper

Listening to Melos' words, Chen Cheng's mouth twitched, thinking to himself what was going on, he really was sending his wife here.

Thinking of this, Chen Cheng couldn't help but think of a movie he saw in his previous life.

But he is not Xu in the movie.

"I think we should stop here and not talk about renewing the relationship. After all, this happened thousands of years ago. I don't see any marriage certificate or betrothal gifts left here. Let's just forget about it."

Chen Cheng waved his hand and said.

When Herlous heard this, she wanted to open her mouth to defend herself, but Chen Cheng stopped her and said:

"Elder, have you forgotten why the hero and heroine in the story separated?

The ancestors of the elves knew that it would be a tragedy for the two to be together, so they wanted to separate them.

And it ultimately led to a tragic story.

It can be said that if the two lovers had not met and fallen in love, perhaps Senior Xifeiya would not have died of heartbreak."

"So I think we should put this matter aside for now and discuss how to solve the problem of your elves' reproduction later."

Chen Cheng's words hit the nail on the head, so Melos stopped dwelling on the matter.

"I believe Your Majesty has heard of the various legends about our elves, especially the legend of our birth."

Chen Cheng nodded and said:

"I heard that each of you is like a ginseng fruit. Before you take shape, you are like human-shaped fruits hanging on the top of the World Tree. Once you are mature, you will fall off the tree and become elves."

When Herlous heard this, he couldn't stop laughing.

"Your Majesty, this rumor is indeed a bit far-fetched. We are all living beings made of flesh and blood. How could we possibly transform from a fruit into a human as the legend says?

This is impossible to happen.”

Listening to Herlous's bell-like laughter, he complained in his heart:

"That's possible. According to legend, these fruits of the spiritual roots of heaven and earth are examples of giving birth to spiritual intelligence and becoming living beings.

"And this World Tree, apart from other things, just based on its size, Chen Cheng also believes that it is the spiritual root of heaven and earth."

Of course, Chen Cheng couldn't say all this to Herlous' face, and he thought that at this point, Herlous no longer had any need to lie to him.

"Oh, if that's not the case, then how were you born?

Of course, if this offends you, Elder, please forgive me."

Herlous sighed and said:

"There's nothing to hide. Our birth is indeed related to the tree god. You could say the tree god is our mother.

When we are born, we will appear in a body similar to a fruit, and inside this fruit we will grow until we are fully formed in the mother's womb, just like you humans."

"So I think this is why the rumors Your Majesty heard were like this."

When Chen Cheng heard about this method of pregnancy, he felt that it was the in vitro cultivation technology he had heard of in his previous life.

However, in the previous life, it was only possible to cultivate fertilized eggs in vitro, and the final development had to be completed in the mother's body.

From what Herlous said, it seemed that they were completely cultured in vitro and could even be operated on a large scale. This technology was far ahead of the previous life.

Of course, such technology will also have a huge impact on secular morals and other concepts... Well, they are all elves, not humans, so it is no wonder that no matter how big the age gap between them is, they are usually called sisters.

Chen Cheng's thoughts had drifted off to who knows where. When he came back to his senses, he heard Herlous say:

"The biggest difficulty we elves face right now is that the tree god condenses fewer and fewer fruits of life each year. In the past few decades, the total number of fruits condensed has not exceeded one hundred."

At this time, Chen Cheng finally realized how critical the situation of the elves was. Although they were all immortal, their offspring were dwindling in number and were almost extinct.

If this happened to any other group with a normal lifespan, it could be said that just because of these poor newborns in these few decades, this group would have been wiped out long ago.

After Herlous finished speaking, his eyes stared at him intently.

At this time, Chen Cheng was thinking about the nature of the agreement, because this agreement concerned the survival of the entire elf race. He did not believe that his ancestor would make such an agreement casually.

If he can make up his mind, then it means that I can solve this problem.

But after listening to Herlous' words, considering their clan's current situation, even if they mastered the most advanced magical technology, they themselves were powerless.

So the solution to this problem is definitely not magic.

After removing magic, the only thing Chen Cheng could find in himself was the scientific knowledge in his mind.

Thinking of this, Chen Cheng did not feel any joy, instead he felt cold all over.

Could it be that his ancestor already knew that he would travel through time thousands of years ago?

Just when Chen Cheng was frightened to death by his own guess, Herlous woke him up.

"Your Majesty, does Your Majesty have any solution?"

Chen Cheng came back to his senses and looked at Melos, and then suddenly he found a bright spot.

The birth of life requires an embryo, and he didn't believe that a tree could condense the embryo of intelligent life, so the embryos of Herlous and the others must have a source.

Then Chen Cheng looked at Melos, his face flushed with shame, and his words became hesitant.

Seeing Chen Cheng like this, Melos' heart ached. She thought Chen Cheng was going to say that there was nothing he could do.

"Your Majesty, please tell me. I can accept it."

Herlous said in a somewhat depressed tone.

Chen Cheng looked at Samlet and Chikuwa beside him, and then said to them:

"Could you two first close your six senses like the Black Dragon King? It would be bad if others heard what I'm about to ask."

Although she didn't know what Chen Cheng was going to ask, Melos' heart was pounding. She was afraid that Chen Cheng would tell her after asking the question, and there was nothing he could do.

Although Samlet was also curious, he still obeyed Chen Cheng's orders very much. After he closed his six senses, he also closed Zhulun's six senses at the same time.

After seeing that they were the only two people who could hear the voices, Chen Cheng finally asked:

“Excuse me, elder, your clan was in ancient times, at least a thousand years ago.

Do you often invite human or other intelligent males to visit your tribe, and then ask them to leave something with you on the last day before leaving?"

When Chen Cheng asked this question, his face turned as red as a monkey's butt.

After all, he has never experienced those things in these two lifetimes.

Melos was over a thousand years old and not an ignorant girl. She immediately understood the meaning of Chen Cheng's words.

Her face flushed instantly, but she didn't know whether it was because of shame at Chen Cheng's words or because of anger.

"Why do you say that, Your Majesty?"
