At the World Tree, Eve, who had just finished distributing player rewards, quickly sensed Berserker’s sacrificial prayer.
Feeling a spark of curiosity, she opened the sacrificial channel, and a small Skull Wand appeared in the Divine Space.
Eve was slightly delighted; she waved her hand again, notifying every involved player via a system message that “Mission Objective 2 is completed” and rewarded each with 300 contribution points.
Contribution points were a feature that became available only when players reached level 11. They were used for class transitions and skill or equipment exchanges in Eve’s temple, and players could trade their contribution points, making them a form of currency in the early game stages.
In the early game, Eve had too few NPCs under her command, and the player base was not large, so she handled class transitions, skill learning, and equipment exchanges by implementing a contribution point exchange system within her temples.
...
However, in the future, Eve planned to gradually delegate these basic functions to other NPCs, to both boost player-NPC interactions and reduce the game system’s workload to conserve divine energy. She would then focus the exchange system on special skills or rare equipment.
After rewarding the players, Eve concentrated her attention on Gululu’s Undead Staff.
As soon as the Undead Staff entered the Divine Space, Eve felt a strong sense of foreboding. Using her divine power, she gently prodded it, and a pure force of Elf Souls was suddenly emitted from the Treasure Bead at the Staff’s tip.
Sensing the despair and sadness within the souls, Eve sighed inwardly and proceeded to purify them:
“Your nightmare is over.”
The holy and gentle divine power swept over, purifying the dark purple energy, transforming it into images of elves who bowed down to Eve, gratefully chanting songs of nature. Then they turned into pure faith energy and surged into Eve’s Divine Space.
The purple Treasure Bead, now devoid of its color, turned into a crystal-clear transparent object. Were it not for a tiny crack, it would have been a perfect piece of craftsmanship.
At the moment of purifying the undead energy, Eve clearly felt her divine power value increased by five points.
Previously, the players eliminated over two hundred Goblins, providing her with a total of 2.4 divine power points; defeating the Goblin High Priest and his Undead Army gave her an additional four points, and finding a Divine Blood Crystal contributed another 1.5 points.
Even without various expenditures, her divine power value exceeded twenty-five points, reaching an all-time high!
Looking at her divine power value, Eve felt a wave of joy in her heart.
“It seems, eliminating Goblins is indeed a feasible approach. If we can eradicate all the Goblins in Feilengcui, my divine power value might increase by several points!”
“Hmm, once the players level up and transition classes, they can be tasked with completely eliminating the remaining Goblins in Feilengcui. The remaining priests should not pose a threat. The Divine Blood Crystals they’ve collected ought to be hidden somewhere in the ruins… At least four or five pieces, perhaps?”
Eve pondered expectantly.
“Moreover… there should be six or seven Elf city ruins in the Elf Forest, including the Elf Capital…”
“Even Feilengcui, which is the closest to me, has Goblins in it. These areas might have also been infiltrated by Uller. If we can eliminate all the Goblins in these places, my divine power value could break the fifty-point threshold!”
“Not to mention, this doesn’t even account for the Divine Blood Crystals. Including those, I might be able to free myself from this near-death state sooner than expected!”
With this in mind, Eve’s mood became increasingly jubilant, feeling that she was getting closer to regaining her freedom.
In her delight, she planned to use divine power to transform the Undead Staff into a high-quality legendary staff and then place it into the contribution point exchange system for the players to acquire.
This wasn’t her first time modifying or enhancing equipment.
Eve categorized the equipment on the Segis Continent into four tiers: gold legendary, purple epic, blue rare, and white common.
Not to mention the wooden weapons and equipment given to players when logging in for the first time, all the equipment left behind by the Half-Beast defeated by the Oak Guardian Berserker was reclaimed by her. She refurbished them using a total of 0.1 divine power points and tossed them into the exchange system, all marked as purple equipment.
She was just waiting for the players to transition classes, open the exchange system, and earn contribution points to exchange.
Eve understood the players’ obsession with equipment all too well. Once this system was implemented, players would complete tasks for contribution points without hesitation.
Thinking of this, Eve allocated 0.05 divine power points, intending to forge this wand into a unique black iron-grade gold weapon within the server.

However, as soon as the divine power entered the wand, something unexpected happened.
The anticipated equipment modification did not occur. Surprisingly, the wand’s Treasure Bead directly absorbed her divine power!
“Hmm?”
Eve’s heart skipped a beat.
Every high-quality wand had a bead at the top to store magic power, but she was releasing divine power!
Divine power was not ordinary power but the power of a True God, the highest quality and strongest energy in existence.
“What is with this bead?”
Eve examined the wand again closely and immediately detected a clue:
“This wand’s shaft material is Devil Wood? Is it a sealing object?”
Devil Wood, a special and rare plant from a different plane, had the effect of sealing objects. If it was over a thousand years old, it could even block a True God’s vision to some extent!
To her surprise, Eve discovered upon closer inspection that the wand’s shaft was used to seal the bead atop the wand!
She had initially thought this was merely a wand storing undead energy, unaware she had been wrong.
“There is a problem with this bead! Right, if there weren’t, how could a mere Goblin enslave so many Elf Souls!”
Realizing this, Eve became cautious.
“It seems my excitement got the better of me; I failed to notice such a simple detail.”
She mentally reprimanded herself and planned to reevaluate this piece of equipment.
Anything capable of absorbing divine power was no ordinary artifact. She needed to ascertain the true nature of this bead.
Determined, Eve unhesitantly removed the bead from the wand, breaking its seal.
As the seal broke, the previously transparent bead radiated a soft glow, exuding an unexpectedly solemn and majestic aura.
Eve’s spirit lifted, then she used her appraisal ability.
To her astonishment, two full points of divine power were consumed, and the bead’s true name emerged in her mind:
[Death God Hela’s Soul Storage Orb (Damaged)]
