Chapter 108: Chapter 108 The Atmosphere Gradually Becomes Awkward

When the High Priest of Jushan arrived at the main tent of the Rock Cave Tribe, he finally saw the visitor.
It was a tall figure seated at the principal position, clad in an entirely black robe, with a high white collar, and a blood-red rose pinned to the left chest.
His appearance was as handsome as an elf, with shoulder-length black hair tied into a single ponytail, a pale complexion, and a pair of crimson eyes keenly observing the Half-Beast Jushan entering the main tent.
The pupils of the Half-Beast High Priest slightly contracted,
“Nightwalker?”
...
Upon hearing his exclamation, a hint of a roguish smile appeared on the mysterious visitor’s lips,
“I didn’t expect my name to have traveled here.”
He snapped his fingers, and a transparent glass appeared in his hand as if by magic, filled with bright red blood.
He took a gentle sip and then said,
“However, I prefer to be called Count.”
The High Priest of Jushan revitalized, drew a bow-shaped symbol on his chest, and bowed to the other,
“Praise the Father God! Count, the Rock Cave Tribe welcomes your arrival!”
Nightwalker.
That was a famed Divine Favored of the God of Winter and Hunting in the Segis World!
The Nightwalker was not a Beastman, but a member of the Blood Clan originally devoted to darkness, yet he was converted in a war by the Father God’s faith, becoming the Divine Favored of a True God.
No one knew the Nightwalker’s true name, but he preferred others to call him Count because he was truly a high-level professional, with the power of Lower Gold!
In the Blood Clan, this was the count-level tier.
Having confirmed the visitor’s identity, Jushan slightly relaxed.
The arrival of a Divine Favored also implied the True God’s attention was focused here because a Divine Favored was the eyes of a True God!
*The Father God… had not forgotten them!*
And as one of the few races following Uller, Nightwalker was favored by Her.
He often engaged with faith forces of other True Gods in roles like a visitor, mediator, or scout, resembling Uller’s diplomat in the mortal realm.
And upon seeing Nightwalker, the anxiety and apprehension that had troubled the Half-Beast Jushan for days calmed considerably,
“You… having come here, you should already know about the Elf Forest, right?”
He probed tentatively.
The Nightwalker nodded,
“I came here at the behest of the Father God.”
Having said that, he rose from his seat, one hand behind his back, gently shaking the glass in his other hand.
Watching the blood sway with its motion in the cup, the Nightwalker’s expression gradually turned solemn,
“The True God suspects a new god is rising in the Elf Forest, so I’m sent to check it out.”
Divine Enthronement…!
The pupils of the High Priest of Jushan slightly contracted.
If a True God was hidden behind the Elf Forest, then everything made sense!
However, he soon became perplexed again,
“Count, if I may be blunt, there haven’t been any signs of Divine Enthronement in the Elf Forest in recent years. Besides, magical power in Segis has been dwindling for a millennium, and there hasn’t even been the birth of a Demigod, let alone a True God…”
The prerequisites for Divine Enthronement were quite stringent.
Only a high-level plane with abundant magical power could support Divine Enthronement!
Moreover, the waves of Divine Enthronement were incredibly strong.
If a new god were to ascend, the nearby Rock Cave Tribe would definitely sense it!
As a High Priest, Jushan knew these things.
Nightwalker chuckled,
“Who said a Divine Enthronement ceremony is necessary? That one’s true form still lies within the Elf Forest, and a thousand years have passed; the sealing divine arts should be broken by now, right? You must have heard of how those under Your Excellency ascended to the divine seats during the Twilight of the Gods.”
Upon hearing his words, Jushan’s pupils contracted again,
“Directly merging the divine position and divinity? How… is that possible?”
Nightwalker smiled again,
“Ordinarily, it would be impossible, but what if other True Gods helped? For instance… the one from the Netherworld.”
In fact, Uller originally had this plan.

But due to warnings from the gods and the presence of seals, She did not dare take action.
However, Hela was different; She remained in the Netherworld for a long time, and despite having left a True God seat in the Pantheon, She rarely interacted with the gods of the Heavenly Realm.
And as the Lord of the Underworld, as long as She stayed at home, She was not afraid of the dominion of the three divine systems of the Pantheon in Her domain.
Thus…
The gods’ warnings were stressful for Hela, but not as fatal as they were for Uller.
If She dared to do something, it wouldn’t be surprising.
Of course, believers were unaware of these matters.
This was a secret among True Gods.
Believers knowing the Death God might have acted was already sufficient.
Upon hearing this, a thought flashed briefly in Jushan’s mind, relating to the Death God’s Divine Favored mentioned by the Father God.
For a moment, he felt like he grasped the truth of the matter!
Seeing the change in Jushan’s expression, Nightwalker appeared quite pleased,
“It seems you have thought of it too.”
After speaking, his expression gradually became serious,
“Nature and life have been the Father God’s pursuit for a millennium, and simultaneously… also the objective of the one from the Netherworld. Although that one from the Netherworld cannot come in true form, She can nonetheless support a new god!”
Hela governed death, aging, and disease.
These divine positions were contrary to the life divine position, yet they also had connecting points.
And it was no secret within the True Gods of the Segis Universe that Hela’s divine position was incomplete.
The life divine position similarly attracted Her.
It’s said that mastering contradictory divine positions could cause divine soul turbulence, potentially leading a True God to madness, but Hela did not need to do this.
She only needed to support a sub-god related to life and gain information about the rules of life from them to complete Her incomplete death divine position!
All this was Uller’s conjecture.
And She shared with Her Divine Favored that Hela was very likely to take action!
“So… Count, do you have any plans? The forces hiding within the Elf Forest are extremely powerful, and we’ve already lost hundreds of warriors and a Black Dragon,”
the High Priest of Jushan said worriedly.
“Moreover… they were annihilated with overwhelming power, and there wasn’t even a commotion.”
At this, the glass in Nightwalker’s hand slightly paused, and his expression gradually turned solemn.
But soon, he lightly laughed,
“No rush… I’ve already sent my Favored Beast to secretly infiltrate the forest and investigate for me.”
Favored Beast?
Jushan’s expression brightened.
Nightwalker possessed the ability to summon Favored Beasts.
This skill allowed ordinary animals to be under his control, helping him explore the unknown.
And Nightwalker was especially adept at controlling seemingly harmless creatures, like wild rabbits and deer… completely unpreventable!
Moreover, the images seen by the animals could be transmitted back, a rather advanced reconnaissance ability!
With that, Nightwalker gestured, and magic power gradually manifested a scene before him.
Jushan, invigorated, hastily looked at the scene.
He was also curious about what was happening in the Elf Forest!
However… the view was black.
“Dead?” Nightwalker was slightly taken aback.
Seeing Jushan’s surprised expression, Nightwalker cleared his throat and said,
“Ahem, this often happens as the Favored Beasts are merely ordinary beasts, and accidents can occur. But… I summoned more than one.”
After saying this, he switched the scene again.
Still black.
Nightwalker’s eyebrows raised, somewhat surprised,
“Hmm… also dead? A mistake, a mistake, let me switch to another.”
He waved his arm, changing the scene again.
Still black…
Jushan: …
Nightwalker: …
The atmosphere grew a bit awkward for a moment.
