Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 1264 - 816: The Most Miserable Abyss Myth in History
The Divine Country of the World Tree, Eden Garden.
Worshippers live in peace and contentment, with towering Oak Guardians like loyal assistants helping them tend to the lush forests of the Divine Country, while adorable Elemental Elves giggle and flutter about, dancing gracefully among the flowers...
The place is filled with joy and laughter, teeming with life, like a scene straight out of a fairy tale.
Suddenly, the projection of the World Tree at the center of the Divine Country trembles slightly, and the grand temple emits a faint glow.
Worshippers, Oak Guardians, and Elemental Elves all stop their activities and bow deeply toward the direction of the temple.
The will of the True God has returned.
In the supreme temple, Eve, seated high on the throne, slowly opens her eyes.
Rising gently, she steps out of her temple and onto a giant plaza behind the temple.
This plaza was specially developed by Eve for accepting sacrifices from players. Any offerings made through the sacrificial array appear here.
Incidentally, after Eve ascended to powerful divine might, the number of Elemental Elves in her Divine Country expanded from a mere three hundred to a grand total of ten thousand.
These delightful energy beings are not only part of the management of the Divine Country, but also a brilliant spectacle within it.
The plaza is bustling.
From time to time, rays of light can be seen bursting forth, as various offerings gradually appear in the golden array.
Whenever this happens, Elemental Elves fly over, handling the offerings with enthusiasm based on their types.
Some precious items are placed by the Elemental Elves into the storeroom of the Divine Country. Items that are unmanageable or risky are sealed using the power of the Divine Country, while ordinary and common items are repaired, packaged, or sorted and then put up in the contribution mall.
Here, any waste can be fully recycled and reused.
When Eve arrives, she sees the golden mountain outside the plaza and the glittering pile of Magic Stones beside it, which looks like amethyst.
These are the gold mines and Magic Stone mine offered by the players.
However, upon closer inspection, one would notice the black mist swirling around the gold and Magic Stone mines, the unpurified abyssal forces.
Elemental Elves flutter around the two "mountains," using their power to purify the contamination.
Some Elemental Elves clutch the purified gold and Magic Stones, using magic to separate pure gold and Magic Stones from impurities, discarding the waste and transporting the gold and Magic Stones away.
Some portions are stored, while others are listed in the exchange market.
Pure gold and Magic Stones are materials greatly demanded by players, useful for repairing equipment or as consumables.
Incidentally, if this gold and Magic Stone mine were completely purified into gold and Magic Stones, the conversion value in contributions would exceed five billion...
In a sense, for Eve, it is like a windfall; such an amount of gold and Magic Stones would require considerable divine power if created out of nothing in the Divine Country.
You might make a huge profit, but I will never suffer a loss.
"Your Grace, the Goddess!"
Seeing Eve, the Elemental Elves halt their activities and respectfully salute her.
Eve gently nods, signaling the little ones to continue, then she traverses the plaza to the rear.
Behind the plaza is a large branch, which is a projection of the World Tree.
Of course, though called a projection, it is a real giant tree within the Divine Country, with the supreme temple and this plaza built upon it.
On the branch, a massive figure shrouded in black mist is bound tightly by tree branches, constantly struggling.
Its body appears to be composed of black shadows, reminiscent of a burning black flame, with a physique like a black strongman. Its hands are claws made of black mist, but it has no legs, and its lower half resembles the mist of a ghost.
"Roar..."
Seeing Eve, a flash of fear crosses the crimson eyes of the black shadow, emitting a low growl as its struggle intensifies.
However, no matter how it struggles, it cannot escape the bondage of the branches.
Or rather, the bondage of the Divine Country.
This is a Shadow Demon with the strength of a Demigod, a rare demon with some characteristics of Shadow Creatures, an Abyss Creature.
Shadow Demons enjoy collecting souls, transforming into shadows to attach themselves to other beings, consuming soul power, and also latching onto objects filled with magic power.
It was because it had attached itself to the Magic Stone mine that it continuously brought abyss corruption...
When the players were preparing to offer sacrifices, Eve already sensed its presence.
At that time, this Shadow Demon, or Abyss Myth, had likely just broken free from a seal and was recuperating in the Magic Stone mine.
However, it probably never anticipated that while it was lounging around, recovering, and possibly contemplating how to possess the Golden Dragon ravaged by abyss forces—enjoying a blissful time—a bunch of Elves would inexplicably offer it, along with the mine, in sacrifice...
It was indeed unfortunate.
Of course, normally, Eve’s sacrificial array does not accept living beings.
But given the special circumstances...
Upon discovering this Shadow Demon, Eve naturally granted permission, seamlessly bringing it into the Divine Country.
