Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree

Chapter 190: Chapter 184: The New Divine Favored

When Little Xian Miao and the others opened their eyes, they found themselves in a grand and majestic temple…

Demacia had been summoned by the Goddess once before, and the others had observed the exchange between Demacia and the Goddess from the perspective of a cinematic cutscene, so they were somewhat mentally prepared.

However, when they looked around, they were surprised to find that this was not the temple they had seen in the original cinematic cutscene, which seemed to be located in the starry sky.

Of course, the style and scale of the temple were the same, with its vast space, gigantic stone pillars, and sacred, spectacular reliefs. Yet, the scenery on both sides was entirely different.

There were no deep and magnificent galaxies, but an ancient, dense forest!

This temple seemed to be situated high up, and despite its elevation, the grandeur and splendor of the forest below could still be seen.

This perspective was somewhat akin to looking down at the Elf Forest from the World Tree, but this forest was clearly more lush.

The forest landscape was reminiscent of the Elf Forest, but upon closer inspection, one could find that the vegetation here seemed older and denser than that of the Elf Forest, and the land was filled with rare and even legendary tree species…

Some players even saw sun spruces towering several hundred meters high! Several hundred meters!

These precious tree species, extremely scarce even in the Elf Forest, where they usually reached no more than thirty meters in height and encountering one could mark a player as a Luck King, were everywhere here.

The group instinctively began to calculate in their minds how many contribution points they could exchange with the Holy Daughter by using these sun spruces as building material…

The result was somewhat terrifying.

At least Little Xian Miao felt that her entire possessions might not even compare to a single tree here…

Not to mention, this was just the most common and inconspicuous tree species in this forest!

There were many other precious plants that players couldn’t name, but knew at a glance that they were extraordinary!

If the Elf Forest felt like a dreamlike forest far from the mundane world, then the rich, mysterious, ancient, and magnificent world before them reminded the players of the mythical Eden Garden!

Even though they were far away, the players could still sense the vibrant life energy exuding from the forest.

This almost overwhelming life force even flowed into the towering temple, combining with the temple’s unique sacred aura, filling their hearts with a sense of awe and insignificance…

They were even shocked to discover that each breath increased their experience points to some extent, and their personal attributes had slight enhancements!

This discovery left the players even more astounded and excited.

They almost instinctively took deep breaths, hoping to gain more experience points.

They even felt an implicit urge to meditate and train here!

*Where was this place?*

*Was the life and magic energy in the air really this abundant?*

As the players were in shock, a kind yet dignified voice resonated through the grand hall, pulling back their thoughts,

“Chosen Ones, we meet again.”

Little Xian Miao and the others suddenly looked up and saw the Goddess sitting high on a magnificent throne made of gold, vines, flowers, and branches in the center of the temple.

Eve Yggdrasil.

Unlike in the previous encounters as an avatar and the once “cutscene” image, now the Goddess did not enshroud herself with radiant Holy Light.

She sat high on the throne, her chin resting on one hand, looking at the group with a gentle smile in her eyes.

No airs, no distance, yet the players dared not harbor any disrespectful thoughts…

On the contrary, upon seeing the Goddess, alongside their amazement, they felt an indescribable sense of awe and reverence…

This feeling was strange. Logically, no matter how spectacular the scene, under the premise of knowing it was a game, the players shouldn’t have felt this; at most, they should have been impressed and appreciative.

But… they couldn’t help feeling an impulse to worship!

This was akin to the feeling the Goddess gave players during storyline appearances, but this time it was much stronger!

In that moment, the players unconsciously calmed their moods, becoming more respectful in demeanor.

Actually, it was very normal for the players to naturally develop this sense of awe.

For they were not in the conceptual space that Eve had previously manifested, but in her Divine Country!

The Divine Country and the True God are one, existing between reality and fantasy.

It could also be said that the Divine Country was Eve’s consciousness space and Divine Power manifested. As long as she had enough Divine Power, she could create anything she had seen and understood within the Divine Country!

Of course, these things were only effective within the Divine Country. If something left the Divine Country, Eve would have to expend additional Divine Power to genuinely manifest it…

The actual manifestation of objects from the Divine Country outside of it was precisely the true source of many Divine Artifacts.

Moreover, the emotions of a True God also influenced everything within the Divine Country, which naturally included other beings who entered it!

Thus, even though they believed themselves to be in a game, after entering the Divine Country, the players’ minds were unconsciously influenced, generating a genuine sense of reverence for Eve.

Of course, this emotional influence couldn’t force someone to become a Believer, but it sufficed to let Eve flaunt her superiority.

Little Xian Miao and the others saw Eve gently beckon to them, and then they felt a gentle power entering their bodies, sweeping away all fatigue.

Afterward, they delightedly discovered that their debuffs had completely vanished.

Not only that, but their statuses had fully recovered, and even their fatigue values were reset to zero.

The group exchanged glances and uniformly bowed toward Eve,

“Praise the Goddess!”

Eve nodded and gave them a slight smile,

“At ease.”

[Ding—]

As the Goddess finished speaking, system messages suddenly appeared once more in their vision…

[Entering Plot]

[Option Dialogue Mode Activated, Please Choose a Representative to Communicate with the Goddess]

Little Xian Miao took a deep breath, made eye contact with the other two, and stepped forward once again as the representative, while at the same time, Xi Hong’s Fried Tomato and Demacia found themselves unable to control their bodies again.

After choosing the representative, the Goddess’s solemn and sacred voice echoed once more,

“I am aware of your purpose; your choice is correct. The God of Darkness and Shadow is a foe, not a friend. This is the enemy’s conspiracy.”

Then… a dialogue box appeared in front of Little Xian Miao,

[Option A: Supreme Goddess, what should we do next?]

[Option B: Supreme Goddess, how should we address this matter?]

[Option C: Supreme Goddess, please guide us on our path forward!]

Little Xian Miao: …

She felt she finally understood why Demacia had once said that even a pig could choose the right plot dialogue.

She twitched her mouth, then responded,

“Supreme Goddess, please guide us on our path forward!”

Eve nodded in satisfaction and said,

“Intervening in the faith disputes between True Gods is somewhat strenuous given your current strength. I will send another of my Divine Favored to negotiate with Death God Hela’s believers. From now on, you are to follow her arrangements…”

Upon finishing, the Goddess pointed to the side of the group, and countless dazzling photons began to gather there…

In their surprised eyes, a tall figure slowly emerged.

It was a female elf dressed in a black skirt armor, looking like a young girl of sixteen or seventeen. She had long deep silver hair and a pair of mysterious crimson-violet eyes, her features delicate, exuding a terrifyingly murderous aura…

If there were other True Gods present, they would recognize it as the aura of the Death God’s Power!

However, soon this Death God’s Power aura was completely concealed, and the female elf transformed into an ordinary elf, exuding a vibrant life aura.

This was another powerful Divine Favored! A new NPC!

The players’ eyes all lit up.

After her appearance, the mysterious elf immediately knelt respectfully to the Goddess, her expression fervent,

“Praise to you! Great Mother Goddess! Divine Favored—Ling, follows your orders with devotion.”

Hearing her words, the Goddess on the throne seemed very satisfied. She curved her lips slightly, then smiled at the group once more,

“This is Ling, who will act as my agent. I’ve communicated all arrangements to her. Follow her instructions moving forward.”

“You may withdraw…”

After speaking, she waved her hand.

Then, the dazzling light engulfed the players once more…
