Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree

Chapter 19: Chapter 19 Divine Blood Crystal (Please vote!)

The view changed, and Eve quickly “saw” the situation of the Berserker.

At this moment, the Oak Guardian, towering over thirty meters high, was kneeling among ancient trees, praying with closed eyes.

His massive form was hidden within the tall forest, making it difficult to detect.

*This guy seems to be hiding from something… Could it be that he encountered other intelligent beings he couldn’t oppose?*

Eve’s heart stirred.

Although the Berserker was currently the only choice for exploring the map, sending him to explore the unknown also posed certain risks.

...

The risk was that the Oak Guardian’s identity might be unveiled by other intelligent beings.

The Oak Guardian was too unique; as a creature enlightened by the World Tree, his status was equivalent to that of an angel.

If the existence of the Berserker was discovered by the followers of other deities and reported, the revival of the World Tree would no longer be a secret.

Once Eve came to the forefront, the enemies Mother Nature had a thousand years ago would undoubtedly not let her go and would return with force.

If Eve were in good condition, it would be fine. Presently, the Segis Continent’s magic power was feeble, and the gods residing in the Heavenly Realm could not descend to the mortal world, including Eve’s potential enemies.

Therefore, as long as Eve recovered to a certain state, she could protect herself by occupying a favorable position.

Unfortunately, she was still in a near-death state, and if other divine beings’ favored ones came, even three or five legends might put her in danger.

Fortunately, the Berserker was a Tree-man by nature, capable of hiding well in the forest. The wise creatures around the Elf Forest were few, and according to Alice’s feedback, there seemed to be only a hostile Half-Beast Tribe.

Among the Half-Beasts, only priests could communicate with Uller, the God of Winter and Hunting, whom they believed in.

The Half-Beast Priests did not easily leave their tribe. Therefore, as long as the Berserker was careful not to intrude into the Half-Beasts’ tribe and sent the unfortunate Half-Beasts who unfortunately saw him back to the Netherworld when exploring the forest, he would not be exposed.

But now it seemed… he had encountered the Half-Beast Priest?

Had he found the Half-Beasts’ tribe?

Eve sensed the Berserker’s position and quickly dismissed this speculation.

The Berserker, at this moment, although having left the safe zone, was only thirty kilometers northeast of her.

If there were a Half-Beast Tribe within this range, it would have been exposed long ago.

Hence, Eve estimated that the Half-Beast Tribe had to be at least sixty kilometers away from her.

But if it wasn’t the Half-Beast Tribe, what could it be?

Thinking of this, Eve’s gaze moved past the Berserker, looking behind him.

Her gaze froze at once.

Several hundred meters behind the Berserker were ruins covered in vegetation.

Even though vines and weeds covered them, they couldn’t conceal the exquisite patterns on the marble remnants, and the steles carved with Ancient Elf Language revealed the true identity of these ruins before her eyes.

“It’s a city of the Ancient Elf Kingdom, and based on the Elf Language, it should be the Holy City, Feilengcui.”

With the World Tree’s legacy, Eve quickly reached this conclusion.

Feilengcui was the Elf City closest to the World Tree in the Elf Kingdom and also a sacred place for the Nature God Sect.

Of course, at this moment, Feilengcui was already in ruins.

In fact, by letting the Berserker explore the surrounding areas, Eve was already thinking of searching for Elf Ruins. She just didn’t expect feedback so soon.

But why was the Berserker hiding?

Could it be that some kind of change occurred in the Elf Ruins?

After pondering for a while, Eve decided to ask the Oak Guardian directly.

She manipulated her divine power and entered the Berserker’s consciousness…

The praying Berserker suddenly felt a gentle, warm force touch his heart, transforming his excitement into calmness in an instant.

It was the focus of the Mother Goddess!

Instantly, this Nature Favored understood something.

He lowered his towering head even further, his demeanor becoming more reverent.

At the same time, Eve’s solemn and ethereal voice resonated:

“What troubles you so?”

The Berserker steadied his mind, extended his thick arm, drew a tree-shaped symbol before his chest, and respectfully replied,

“Mother Goddess, I have found the former Holy City, Feilengcui. While exploring the area around it, I discovered this…”

Having said this, the trunk of the Oak Guardian split open on both sides, revealing a tree hollow. The Berserker reached into it and pulled out a glittering item.

It was a light green, irregular crystal radiating a gentle glow, seemingly imbued with some mysterious, sacred power that made one irresistibly want to claim it.

A Divine Blood Crystal!

With the World Tree’s inheritance, Eve immediately recognized it.

Suddenly, Eve’s spirit quivered, and she couldn’t help but want to forcibly descend her consciousness to the scene.

Divine Blood Crystal, as the name implies, is a crystal formed from the solidification of a True God’s blood.

For ordinary beings, the power of Divine Blood Crystals was too strong to be absorbed and utilized, yet they were the best materials for creating Divine Artifacts and Holy Artifacts or drawing forbidden Array spells.

To legends and demigods, Divine Blood Crystals were invaluable, allowing analytical study, the key to approaching gods, and exploring myths.

For a True God, each Divine Blood Crystal contained a portion of the corresponding True God’s Divine Power and domain knowledge, which could be absorbed and utilized or parsed for other deities’ domain!

The crystal in the Berserker’s hand was a Divine Blood Crystal belonging to the World Tree from ancient times!

In an instant, Eve guessed the story behind it…

This Divine Blood Crystal must have been left during the divine war a thousand years ago.

At that time, the World Tree was besieged by the gods, nearly falling, with golden divine blood raining down like droplets…

This light green crystal was likely a product of that time.

Over the millennium, due to the presence of curse divine arts, the Divine Blood Crystals became self-sealed, unperceived, thus fortunately remaining to this day.

With Eve’s awakening, the disappearance of the divine arts, and the unsealing of the Divine Blood Crystal, the crystal imbued with divine power naturally began to be discovered.

*This… is truly luck!*

Seeing the size of this Divine Blood Crystal, it could at least bring her 1 point of Divine Power!

Eve felt joy in her heart.

However, she quickly calmed down.

If it were merely finding a Divine Blood Crystal, the Berserker could just pray and sacrifice; there was no need to hide himself…

*It seems he hadn’t finished speaking…*

With this thought, Eve’s sacred voice echoed in the Berserker’s mind,

“How did you discover it?”

Upon hearing the Mother Goddess’s inquiry, the Berserker seemed unsurprised and respectfully replied,

“Mother Goddess, after eliminating a few goblins, I found it on their leader.”

Goblins?

Eve was slightly taken aback.

Goblins were small humanoid creatures, with green skin and long pointed ears, capable of crafting and using simple weapons and tools. Their strength was weak, at most level 10 apprentice.

Due to their low intelligence, ugly appearance, combined with violent laziness and low strength, goblins were not a welcomed existence. Generally, unless under special circumstances, even gods would not deem them as believers…

But how could there be goblins in the Elf Forest?

Eve felt puzzled.

However, recalling the habits of these weak creatures described in the legacy, she became enlightened.

Right, goblins typically lived in underground caves or certain ruins, possessing their own social order and tribe. They probably regarded the ruins of the Holy City, Feilengcui, as their lair.

So they’re the ones collecting the World Tree’s Divine Blood Crystals?

But what are they using them for? Could it be… there’s some force driving them from behind?

Eve fell into contemplation.

“Moreover, I also found traces of a goblin priest within the ruins of Feilengcui,”

the Berserker continued.
