Eva nodded slowly and reached out to gently lift him with her Divine Power:

"No courtesy needed. Congratulations on your promotion to myth."

"This is all thanks to the great Goddess. Without your support, I couldn’t have promoted so quickly."

Kai Leici said respectfully.

Eva smiled slightly:

"It’s all your own effort."

Looking at the demigod elf before her, she felt quite pleased.

Now with Aurora and Eris both in slumber, preparing for their ascension to True God, the emergence of a new elf demigod at this time fills the gap of a strong presence in the Elf Forest.

Even though Eva sits in the seat, no one dares to provoke the Elf Forest, but many matters cannot always be handled by Eva herself.

Mairrel must preside over the Hell Plane, and cannot frequently leave.

Having a demigod helps greatly.

In Eva’s estimation, Aurora and Eris might need half a year to a year to awaken, and during this period, with Kai Leici here, many "trivial matters" can be conveniently addressed.

Of course, having just ascended to demigod, Kai Leici’s strength is not quite enough, and he doesn’t seem to have a handy weapon...

Thinking of this, Eva sized up Kai Leici, sensed the rules of power within him, and then pondered for a moment, beckoning him.

A flash of Divine Power, and a longsword adorned with thunderbolt appeared in Eva’s hand.

This is a True Divine Artifact, confiscated from the hands of the Abyss Myth, and Eva possesses many similar artifacts.

Though it was tainted by abyssal forces when first obtained, it has now been thoroughly purified and can be gifted to Kai Leici.

"This Divine Sword is called Thunder Eye. It can harness thunderbolt and transform it for your own use. I give it to you as a gift for your ascension to demigod."

Eva said with a smile.

With that, she placed the Divine Artifact into Kai Leici’s hand...

Receiving the Divine Sword, Kai Leici became even more excited:

"Thank you, benevolent Goddess. Kai Leici is willing to become your longsword, to eradicate all enemies for you!"

Looking at Kai Leici storing the Divine Sword, Eva’s mood was also quite good.

She pondered for a moment and said:

"Kai Leici, since you’ve ascended to demigod, I’ll assign you a new task."

"Please instruct me, great Goddess."

Kai Leici kneeled on one knee.

Eva’s expression turned solemn:

"Head to the southern part of the Fertile Plain and work with the Chosen Ones to eliminate the remaining abyssal demons, while spreading my name."

Having decided to confront the Eternal Lord directly, Eva no longer hesitated to wait for him to make a move but chose to take the initiative.

The demon-captured zone is an excellent entry point.

With Fengyue Free Territory leading the charge, Eva believes this mission can be accomplished successfully.

Abyssal demons have entrenched in the Segis World for too long. Eva initially expected the Human Empire to resolve it, but it has yet to be dealt with, and meanwhile, the polluted areas have only worsened.

Now that Kai Leici has ascended, he can handle it.

It saves Eva some concern, as she has more important matters to attend to.

"I shall follow your divine decree, great Goddess!"

Kai Leici said respectfully.

Receiving his first task after ascending to myth, and granted access to travel to the Divine Country, Kai Leici returned to the Segis World.

The remaining affairs were left unattended by Eva.

The tasks will be posted via the game system, summoning players, who will then lead a gathered Player Army to march against the demon stronghold.

The players have become quite adept at these tasks.

With Kai Leici to counter the Legendary Demons, players fighting the Demon Army have little to worry about.

After Kai Leici departed, Eva focused her attention on the blue orb within her Divine Soul.

The Eternal Lord’s promotion method currently eludes her, and it may be difficult to comprehend, but perhaps by adopting a different approach, clarity might emerge.

That is, to focus wholeheartedly on understanding her own path to greatness.

The universe’s great divine force consists of only one, and in Eva’s view, even if the ascension methods differ, the essence remains the same.

If she can decipher her own path to greatness, and use the Eternal Lord’s various actions and the assimilating power of the key in his possession to backtrack, she might discover his trajectory.

Attaining greatness is not easy. Although she does not know how far the Eternal Lord has progressed, it likely won’t be swift.

Otherwise, the Eternal Lord wouldn’t constantly hinder her covertly.

For once ascended to greatness, Eva poses no threat in his eyes.

In Eva’s view, if she can truly decipher the mystery of the blue orb, perhaps... she can uncover the secrets she desires to know.

With this thought, Eva immersed her consciousness into the blue orb, commencing her "closed-door" research.

...

In pursuit of the path to greatness, Eva chose "closed-door" retreat.

Simultaneously, as the Segis World became fully accessible, players gradually expanded their reach across many regions of the Segis Continent.

In the eastern part of the Segis Continent, east of the Holy Mania Empire.

This area is the most complexly terrained region, with mountains, hills, basins, and plains interwoven, dividing the eastern area into over a dozen areas categorized by terrain...

Eastern Basin, Vols Mountain Range, Bossi Plain, Violet Highlands, Dragon Descendant Forest... various regions, quite complex.
