Insufficient balance

  Here is the translation:

  Now that he had revealed his human side, the old spirit didn't seem as unapproachable as before. "If it's alright with you," he said, "let's walk and talk at the same time." As he spoke, he gently flapped his spirit wings to lead the way forward.

  "I curiously asked: 'How can you be certain that we are not bad people and won't turn around to help the dark elves deal with you?'"

  The old spirit chuckled and said, "You're really a kid, do you know how old I am this year? I'm already 1446 years old, which is considered long-lived among the spirits. I've seen too many things, if I'm not mistaken, you just used light system magic, and at least have the standard of a mage. People who can use light system magic are all kind-hearted and good-natured, that's why I let you go help."

  One winter day, he suddenly spoke up and said: "Do you know that I am the kind of person who belongs to the elves?" It seems that he wanted to inquire about his own life.

  The old spirit smiled and said: "Of course, I know. In fact, if we roughly divide the spirits, they can be divided into two major categories. One category is our natural spirit tribe, which you also belong to. The other category is our enemy, the dark spirit tribe. In terms of numbers, we have an absolute advantage on the entire continent, but in terms of strength, only pure-blooded spirits from both tribes can be compared, because only pure-blooded spirits can exert their true combat power. For example, take you, for instance. You cannot use natural forces."

  "On a winter day, he said somewhat disappointedly: 'Then you don't know where I am specifically either.'"

  The old spirit said helplessly: "There are too many natural spirits in the world, if you were a pure spirit I could check for you, but now...it's probably..."

  Seeing Winter's disappointed look, I quickly interrupted this topic and asked: "How many pure spirits do the two tribes have, and how is their combat power?"

  "The number of pure spirits has decreased a lot due to the continuous wars over the years, and there are more than 1,000 of each. When I came out this morning, the dark spirits had almost reached our village. The spirit forest here is the only place on the entire continent that is most suitable for the survival of the spirits, so the dark spirits have always wanted to destroy us and monopolize this place."

  I shook my head and said, "Why can't everyone get along? This big forest is home to over 2,000 people, what's there to fight about? It seems like nothing will satisfy you until blood flows like a river."

  The old elf sighed and said: "If everyone thought like you, there would be no war in the world. I find that I am getting more and more fond of you, young man."

  "I don't dislike you as much anymore, old man." We burst out laughing together.

  Shūji said: "Senior, how much further is it to your village? Let's hurry up and avoid unnecessary casualties."

  The old elf said: "Alright, follow me closely." He transformed into a faint shadow and flew forward.

  Zhan Hu Da Ge's left hand held a strip of auroral light, his right hand grasped the chill of winter, as he chased after them. Xiu Si followed closely behind with Gao De, while I trailed behind at a leisurely pace, using Instant Distance to keep up with them without being too rushed or slow.

  The old elf stopped after running for a long distance and waited for us to catch up with him. He smiled at everyone in approval and slowed down his pace as he moved forward.

  "In front of us is the rear part of our village, let's hurry in and take a look at how it is."

  After turning over a small hill, an elf village came into view. What a big village it was, much bigger than the bandit village of War Tiger and his gang. We didn't have time to appreciate the surrounding scenery as we followed the old elf into the village, where everyone seemed to be busy.

  The old spirit stepped forward and stopped an adult spirit, asking: "Good year, how is it now?"

  The adult spirit known as the good year replied, "Three elders, you have returned. Hurry up and go over there quickly, it can't hold on any longer. The dark elf king is fighting with our king and they are about to engage in a fierce battle."

  The old spirit beckoned us to move forward towards the other side of the village. I noticed that the spirits here all have double wings on their backs, with much stronger energy than those in the outside world, and most of them use swords as their weapons.

  As I arrived at the forefront of the two armies, the battlefield was in a state of utter chaos. I noticed that there wasn't much difference between the Dark Elves and the Nature Elves. The Nature Elves had green hair, blue eyes, and green wings, while the Dark Elves had black hair, purple eyes, and black wings. That's where the differences ended; everything else was basically the same, with both having a humanoid appearance.

  I looked into the arena, two adult elves were fighting fiercely. Judging from the energy fluctuations, this must be the king of both sides. On the side of the natural elf, three elves who were about the same age as the old elf were anxiously watching the battlefield.

  The old elf walked up to them and asked: "How's the situation?"

  Another old immortal replied, "Old Three, you're back. Did you bring reinforcements? We've been competing since morning and have already had 10 matches. It's a one-sided defeat. If our king loses again, they might just rush up and beat us to death." (For convenience, we'll refer to them as First Elder, Second Elder, Third Elder, and Fourth Elder from now on. The one who brought us here is the Third Elder.)

  The three elders sighed and said: "How can it be like this? Is there really such a big difference? Are we going to perish at the hands of heaven?"

  I walked up to him and comforted him, "Don't worry, we will definitely help you." The three elders nodded at me gratefully and introduced me to the other three elders.

  At this time, the battle in the field was extremely fierce. The King of Nature Spirits grasped his sword with both hands and shouted loudly: "Eternal spirits of nature, hear my call! Form a destructive force to eliminate the evil before us - Nature's Punishment!" As he swung his sword, a green energy surged towards the Dark Spirit King, covering the sky and earth.

  The Dark Elf King sneered, saying: "So many years have passed, and you still use the same old tricks. Can't you think of anything else? Let me show you my ultimate move - endless evil, endless resentment, transformed into endless darkness, devouring everything - Devour Endless." As he chanted, a large amount of dark gray smoke burst forth from the Dark Elf King's body, accompanied by mournful wails, and charged towards the Nature Elf King. The two energies clashed in mid-air, with the Nature Elf King's natural powers being compressed and defeated by the opponent's energy, clearly at a disadvantage, on the verge of collapse.
