Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 363 - 346 "Life Scripture" Completion

The Underworld’s area wasn’t any smaller than the surface world. In fact, because the Underworld actually had three layers, if you added them all together, it might even be more expansive than the surface.

However, the area occupied by the faith forces of Death God Hela was very small, just in the southwestern part of the Segis Continent, right near the Elf Forest. With the 500-kilometer activity range currently allowed to players by the Goddess, it just happened to be included.

Additionally, like most underground city-states, Hela’s faith forces were also located in the first layer of the dark territory, which was the upper region.

The upper dark area was close to the surface and often came into contact with surface creatures. The water was abundant here, and food was relatively plentiful, making it a much more favorable condition compared to the deeper layers. It was also where numerous underground cities were located.

Black Rock City was a prime example of this.

These underground cities that worshiped Hela were the sources of Her faith.

*It seemed that Death God Hela was quite attentive to Her faith in the Segis World, otherwise She would never have met with the Goddess personally.*

Of course, this was also because the Goddess’s body was in the Segis World, and Hela knew that the Chosen Ones were, in a sense, akin to Divine Envoys for the Goddess, albeit weaker and lacking faith, so they wouldn’t draw the vigilance of other entities.

To borrow Divine Envoys was to never bypass a True God...

As for what Hela needed the players to do, it was to assist in defending Her faith’s underground cities and participate in the counterattack against the forces of the God of Darkness and Shadow, Holder.

*Considering the complex environment of the Underworld and the winding, difficult roads, if players were really sent to march and explore step by step, it might take them a month to reach the battlefield...*

*And if players really had to walk all the way there, they might turn back before even getting there...*

*After all, to them, they came to play a game, and to take a month for a simple task, traversing the monotonous, tedious, and complex paths of the Underworld, felt like self-inflicted pain.*

Perhaps some players didn’t mind, since they could walk for so long to scout Fengye City back then, but a few didn’t represent the majority. If it was a legion operation, it definitely wouldn’t work...

*This was one of the players’ limitations.*

However, it wasn’t without a solution, and that was the Teleportation Array.

When players were slow to traverse maps and unwilling to trek long-term, direct teleportation was the way.

So, the Goddess and Hela discussed and decided to set up ultra-long-distance teleportation arrays directly connecting the various underground cities to Black Rock City, allowing players to teleport directly.

Undoubtedly, operating such ultra-long-distance teleportation arrays consumed a massive amount of Magic Stone. Given the Elf Forest’s current foundation, if the Goddess didn’t intervene directly with Her Divine Power, it would be hard to bear.

But for the wealthy Hela, it was nothing...

The Underworld was inherently rich in minerals, and Her believers were no strangers to the mining and forging skills of the dark Dwarves, so they had a vast reserve of Magic Stones, more than capable of supporting such teleportation costs.

In fact... there were plenty of mineral deposits in Rivendell too, but unfortunately, players preferred hunting monsters and undertaking quests in the Elf Forest over the boring task of mining.

Of course, some players considered using Earth Cave Spiders to mine in Rivendell, but it turned out... they were better at eating ores than mining them.

However, with increasing trade with the dark Dwarves and the Human World, players not only had contribution points in their hands, but also some had saved some of the universally accepted currency of the Segis World.

So... some turned their attention to slaves, planning to buy some Dwarf or Beastman slaves to mine in Rivendell!

The Goddess estimated that it wouldn’t be long before players began buying slaves to use as mining laborers in Rivendell.

She neither supported nor opposed this, choosing to let the players have their fun.

*If She previously worried about bringing other races into Her territory potentially exposing Her existence, now that the Goddess decided to step into the spotlight as the "Goddess of Life," these concerns no longer mattered...*

Digressing.

In short, after negotiating with Death God Hela, this True God already promised to bear all teleportation costs and even provide resources for the Chosen Ones lacking in weapons and equipment—since the dark Dwarves weren’t short of those.

Of course, for some reason, the Goddess kindly reminded the other party that Her Chosen Ones’ integrity was somewhat unreliable, to be careful of a major outpouring...

But Hela didn’t mind.

In response, the Goddess naturally remained noncommittal, thinking that as long as Hela wouldn’t regret it, it was fine, considering She had already warned the other party.

And what players needed to do was head to the battlefield—well... in a sense, they were like mercenaries.

Just fighting, looting, and setting fires—these were the activities players loved and were best suited for.

Of course, setting up those ultra-long-distance teleportation arrays would take some time, and the Goddess also planned to use this time to have dark Dwarves cooperate with Her believers for a bit of "plot introduction."

*After all, it’s a game, so some necessary procedures are required and could more or less enhance the players’ immersion and sense of identity while fostering friendship between both forces...*

Hela certainly had no objections to this.

So, shortly after Hela returned, a dark Dwarf mission left the core region of the Underworld, heading grandly towards the direction of Deep Rift Cave.

However, before the dark mission arrived, another matter caught the Goddess’s attention.

That was the completion of the main mission "Goddess of Life" by the players, which the Goddess had previously announced.

The efficiency of the Mengmeng Committee exceeded the Goddess’s expectations.

They didn’t take long to remodel the Goddess’s temple.

At this moment, all the temples had dismantled the symbol representing the World Tree and replaced it with the emblem of the "Life Scepter."

Not only that, but the bas-reliefs within the Natural Temples in Feilengcui, Rivendell, and the nearby ruined relics that symbolized the ancient history of the World Tree had all been hidden... transformed into singular murals representing nature and life.

The Goddess was quite pleased with this.

Meanwhile, the newly compiled Life Scripture appeared once again in Her hands...

This time, over 300 players collaborated in writing it, asking for help on the Blue Star Network, brainstorming and taking considerable time to finally finish the Scripture.

It was as thick as a brick.

Of course, players wrote in Chinese, but once the book was completed, it would be translated through the system into Elf language and the common language of Segis and directly displayed.

That was the power of Divine Power.

After the Scripture was finished, Alice immediately checked it and expressed satisfaction, giving it a perfect score of 100 through the system...

The Goddess was quite eager about it.

She sat on Her divine throne, opened the players’ creation—the Life Scripture that praised the Goddess of Life and spread Her faith.

After browsing through it, the Goddess was very content.

The players had finally utilized their strengths to the fullest, borrowing certain knowledge and past experiences from the Blue Star and perfectly integrating it with the original Natural Holy Scripture.

In the new Scripture, the Goddess was portrayed as the successor to the priesthood of nature and life, a companion of Death God, and the savior of the elves.

As for the origin of the Goddess... although it wasn’t explicitly stated, it subtly misled towards the direction of the elves, easily causing one to misunderstand that She was an elf who became a god with the help of the Death God, inheriting the natural and life priesthood.

Furthermore, the new Scripture not only highlighted the doctrines of life and nature but also possessed considerable persuasiveness and inducement, or... brainwashing capability.

She estimated that using this Scripture for preaching would certainly enhance the effect by several levels. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

However... the Goddess also noticed some peculiarities—

"Why does the entire Scripture keep praising my appearance? Unknowns... would think I’m the Beauty God."

The Goddess muttered.
