Chapter 80: Chapter 79: Watching Over Each Other, the Divine Realm Marches Out

At 1:00 PM, Zhang Yi had already entered the school’s Divine Domain Connection Pod.

At 2:00 PM, the exam would officially begin!

The school had set aside the entire lunch period for students to prepare, so this midday period was crucial!

After finishing lunch at school, Zhang Yi entered the Divine Domain Connection Pod early to enter his Divine Realm and get his Clans ready.

[System]: Logging into the Ten Thousand Realms Divine Net...

[System]: Identity authentication successful...

[System]: Descending consciousness into your Divine Realm...

[System]: Welcome, great God of Nature and Elf God, to your Divine Realm!

Ever since Zhang Yi had confirmed his Main Divine Position as the Natural Divine Position, the title of Forest Dominator had been removed.

Compared to the Natural Divine Position, the forest was merely a Lower Class Law of Nature.

The two titles were redundant, so Zhang Yi had gotten rid of the Forest Dominator name.

Now, when Zhang Yi entered the Divine Domain Connection Pod, the prompts only showed two names: one was God of Nature, and the other was Elf God!

This time, upon re-entering his Divine Realm, compared to over half a month ago in the Main World’s timeline when he had just subjugated the Mountain Dwarf and Fire Elf clans, the situation within his Divine Realm was already completely different!

In the southernmost part of the Zhang Yi Divine Realm, in the area that formed the horizontal bar of an "L," three small cities had been established from left to right.

The leftmost was the Wood Elf City, built within the Dawn Forest;

the one in the middle, half in the Dawn Forest and half on the flatlands of Luqiu Ridge, was the Fire Elf City;

and the rightmost, situated in a huge depression within the valleys and flatlands of Luqiu Ridge, was a fortress built for the Dwarves to live in!

The three cities were independent yet watched over one another.

Forcing the three clans with their different customs to live together would only cause conflict.

Instead, this arrangement of being separate yet connected was the best choice! 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

When Zhang Yi entered his Divine Realm, he relayed the details of his upcoming exam to Elf High Priest Shamiel, though he phrased it a bit differently.

After receiving the new Oracle from the great God of Nature, High Priest Shamiel immediately informed the Wood Elf Guard Team, telling them to pass the message to the other important figures in the Divine Realm and have them gather at the Wood Elves’ ancestral land!

Since Zhang Yi calculated that there was still enough time—the time ratio between the Divine Realm and the Main World was 1:30—he hadn’t issued an Oracle to be broadcast to every Clan in the entire Divine Realm.

An Oracle from the great God of Nature was, of course, the most important matter!

Thus, upon receiving Shamiel’s command, High Priest Shamiel’s guards immediately ran out to relay the information to the other key personnel in the Divine Realm!

Twenty minutes later, Elf Queen An Nobel, Elf Legion Commander Feiyana, Elf Mage Captain Joy Pala, Fire Elf City Lord Naver, and Dwarf Leader Copperbeard Ironhammer had all arrived!

Zhang Yi looked down from his place in the Divine Realm and saw this scene.

Compared to the meager handful of followers he had in his Divine Realm before, his forces now could just about be considered strong and numerous!

"Just now, the great God of Nature sent down an Oracle!"

"Tomorrow morning, a Teleportation Gate will appear in the Divine Realm."

"The great God of Nature requires us, his Clans, to pass through the Teleportation Gate and go on an expedition to another continent on his behalf!"

"We must select the expeditionary force that will travel to the other continent before tomorrow and be ready at a moment’s notice!"

The moment Elf High Priest Shamiel finished speaking, the leader of the Dwarf Clan, Copperbeard Ironhammer, and Joy Pala both stepped forward to volunteer, expressing their desire to go to the other continent.

They were willing to bring their people and dedicate their Power to the great God of Nature!

They spoke so quickly that Elf Legion Commander Feiyana didn’t even have a chance to get a word in.

In the Divine Realm, more than a year had passed since the subjugation of the Fire Elf and Mountain Dwarf clans.

However, both the Fire Elf Clan and the Mountain Dwarf Clan were considered long-lived races.

The average lifespan of a Mountain Dwarf was over a hundred years, while an ordinary Elf could live for over two hundred.

Therefore, this period of just over a year didn’t feel very long to them.

On the contrary, during this year, they had been in constant torment.

In their minds, they had imagined that after being subjugated by the Wood Elves, even if the great God of Nature permitted them to stay in this Divine Realm, their treatment would not be good.

But look at them now.

Whether it was food or shelter, everything was wonderful, and they had no natural enemies.

Under these circumstances, as their lives got better and better, they grew more and more worried!

They worried that this wonderful life was an illusion, ready to shatter at the slightest touch!

Therefore, upon hearing that the great God of Nature had sent down an Oracle, both the Fire Elf and Mountain Dwarf clans were incredibly excited, wanting to dedicate their all to the great God of Nature!

Having served as the Divine Realm’s Chief Governor for many years, Elf Queen An Nobel had long since accumulated a wealth of experience in handling all sorts of matters.

She naturally understood what the Fire Elves and Dwarves were thinking.

But it would be unacceptable to simply send both clans out according to their wishes!

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Elf Queen An Nobel finally issued her orders.

"Elf Legion Commander Feiyana will be in charge of this expedition!"

"The expeditionary force will consist of three hundred Wood Elves and Fire Elves combined, and fifty Mages from the Elf Mage Corps."

"In addition, fifty members of the Dwarf Clan will be deployed, led by Dwarf Leader Copperbeard Ironhammer!"

"Besides the four hundred expeditionary troops, we also require a Logistics unit of fifty Dwarves, and forty each from the Wood Elves and Fire Elves!"

"In total, five hundred and thirty will be deployed for the expedition!"

Elf Queen An Nobel had based her calculations on the maximum number of people the Divine Realm could mobilize for this expedition, while also having to consider the worst-case scenario!

If by some chance the expeditionary force never returned, the Divine Realm had to preserve the seeds for regrowth!

Therefore, these five hundred and thirty people represented the greatest force the Divine Realm could currently muster!

As for the decision made by Elf Queen An Nobel, Zhang Yi had no objections.

Of the just over two hundred Clan members who remained, a considerable portion were old, weak, sick, or disabled.

Another part consisted of research and agricultural personnel with almost no combat capability.

This was just an expedition, not a battle for survival. There was no need to send these people!

After the brief discussion concluded, the leaders of each corps returned to their own cities and began to muster their troops, preparing for tomorrow’s expedition in the name of the great God of Nature!

Early the next morning, the five hundred and thirty members of the expeditionary and logistics forces were ready.

They were just waiting for the great God of Nature to send down his Oracle, prepared to set out at any time!
