Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 324 - 307: Return to Elf Forest

Eve’s movements were extraordinarily swift.

This series of operations had already played out in her mind countless times, so the moment the opportunity arose, she acted according to her plan.

The entire process lasted only a few seconds.

And after Eve’s figure disappeared, a more intense energy fluctuation came from upstream of Fengye City...

In an instant, the entire world trembled once more.

Accompanied by a painful wail, the terrifying aura that struck fear into the heart finally dissipated slowly, and everything seemed to return to calm.

A moment later, countless platinum photons suddenly appeared in the empty underground hall.

The photons rotated continuously, eventually forming an illusory figure.

The figure’s face was unclear, but it possessed a kind of majesty and nobility, and a holy, bright power that illuminated the entire dark hall.

This was the demigod projection of the Lord of Eternity, Yiteo.

The confrontation between two mythical beings had a clear winner.

Even the Despair Dragon Nidhogg, with the strength of the weak Divine Power Peak, had not defeated the Eternal Lord, merely an will projection, capable of exerting at most the Demigod Peak strength!

Powerful divine power... was, after all, powerful divine power.

As the true ruler of the Eternal Era, Yiteo’s power was beyond doubt.

Of course, this main god of the human pantheon seemed to have paid a considerable price...

At this moment, her will projection flickered unsteadily, breathing unevenly, as if it might dissipate at any moment.

And in her hand, she held a crystal hexahedron, continuously flashing with a seven-colored brilliance, presenting a semi-transparent projected form.

This was a projection of a True Divine Artifact!

The semi-transparent crystal hexahedron emitted a faint halo, wandering throughout the hall, after which strands of green photons and gray-black ghostly light gradually emanated from all directions.

The will projection gestured slightly, and these two energies floated into her hand...

"The aura of life and Death Divine Power..."

"A life-type Divine Artifact... Hela?"

She calmly uttered a few words, her tone devoid of emotion.

Then the entire projection shattered with a boom, transforming into countless scattered photons.

Everything returned to silence.

...

Elf Forest, Chosen City.

The central square suddenly glowed with a pale golden brilliance, gradually interweaving to form a huge circular array.

Then, under the astonished gazes of mid to low-level players engaged in missions, over a hundred figures appeared on the square.

They were the hundred elves originally trapped in the underground hall, still encased in gray-black cocoons, their eyes tightly closed.

Besides them, there were five tall figures.

These included a few players, Eve’s avatars, who had infiltrated the hall.

The players looked dazed but excited, as if not yet recovered from the goddess’s recent intervention.

It wasn’t until they recognized the familiar surroundings that they realized they had been teleported away.

The sudden appearance of these figures on the square quickly attracted the players in Chosen City.

The players who infiltrated Fengye City were merely advanced players of "Elf Kingdom."

Even if they received hidden quests and started live streaming, the mission, not involving the entire server, didn’t garner much attention from the tens of thousands of players.

Most mid to low-level players were still busy with missions in the Elf Forest and the Underworld, grinding the shadow instances to level up.

At the moment, many players in Chosen City gathered around, curiously observing the newly appeared cocoons.

"Whoa! What’s going on?"

"So many elves! Are these NPCs?"

"Hey? Aren’t those Little Xian Miao and Box Lunch from the leaderboard, and also Cuckoo Bird?"

"Did they bring back these elves?"

"Probably, right? I heard they were on hidden missions in Fengye City..."

"I’m so envious! They can go to human cities, and I’m only at level 21. The summer event is over, and I still have a long grind ahead..."

The players whispered among themselves.

At this moment, a few lucky players chosen by Eve also gradually came to their senses.

"We did it!"

Little Xian Miao’s eyes sparkled with surprise when she saw the hundreds of cocoons around her.

She glanced around and soon spotted several guild players from the Mengmeng Committee, waving eagerly:

"Quick! You all come over and help! Call some Druids to heal the NPCs! Oh, and make sure to get Alice!"

With Little Xian Miao’s call, the onlooking players quickly sprang into action.

Some rushed to smash the cocoons, rescuing the elves trapped within, while others ran to the Natural Temple to inform Natural Saintess Alice...

Seeing everyone’s actions, Little Xian Miao felt quite satisfied.

She glanced around again and suddenly noticed that Sister Feng, who returned with them, did not join in but instead walked alone toward the city.

"Sister Feng, aren’t you helping to assist the elves?"

Little Xian Miao called out.

"No, the mission is almost over; I have something to do and need to log off."

Sister Feng smiled, then disappeared from Little Xian Miao’s view.

"Hey! The mission rewards haven’t been distributed yet!"

Little Xian Miao shouted again.

However, Sister Feng was already gone.

"In such a hurry?"

Little Xian Miao muttered, then turned her attention back to helping the other players rescue the teleported elves.

...

In the Divine Country of the World Tree, within the majestic Central Temple.

A radiant Holy Light flashed, and Eve’s figure appeared here.

"The elves can be left to the players; with Alice around, there’s nothing to worry about."

She murmured to herself.

At the moment of teleportation, she had already checked the elves’ condition.

They were not dead, merely in a deep sleep and weakened state.

With the current means available to the players, along with the assistance of Silver Priest Alice, they could gradually recover with some time.

By then, Eve could gain another group of devoted believers.

Of course, if Eve desired, she could intervene herself and restore all these elves’ states in one breath.

However, with players present, they might as well be put to good use.

Besides, interacting with the natives could increase cohesion and conserve Divine Power.

It’s a win-win situation.

Thinking of this, Eve conveniently sent out task completion notifications to the players who participated in the mission and distributed the rewards.

Subsequently, Eve issued a quest to the players in Chosen City to heal the elves.

After finishing all this, she returned to her divine throne.

Sitting back on her throne, Eve beckoned with her hand, and a faint green halo appeared in her palm.

Within the halo lay quietly several broken shards.

Upon closer inspection, one would find they formed the outline of a scepter.

However, if closely observed, these fragments seemed incomplete; even forming the silhouette of a scepter, only about two-thirds appeared complete.

"So Nidhogg hasn’t gathered all the shards of the Life Scepter either..."

Eve’s voice carried a hint of understanding.

The incompleteness of the Life Scepter’s shards was within her expectations.

Nidhogg, having fallen into an Evil God, often had to hide and collect these Divine Artifact fragments; achieving two-thirds was fortunate enough.

Nevertheless, this was sufficient to pleasantly surprise Eve.
