Chapter 51: Chapter 51 Eve’s Confusion (Vote for recommendation!)
Editor: Henyee Translations
“It’s Samir, he has already found the remaining members of the Elf Clan.”
After concentrating her consciousness onto Samir, Eve quickly understood the cause and effect.
After a journey of several decades, this devout old priest traversed forests and mountains, finally finding a branch of the former diverse tribes of the Elf Kingdom— the Flame Clan, in the corner of the Dark Mountain Range.
By demonstrating a Divine Miracle and delivering the oracle, he successfully rekindled the faith of this Elf Tribe.
Sensing the speckled photons of faith in her Divine Space, Eve was very pleased.
Even though most of these believers were still shallow in their belief, having just picked it up, with only the old clan leader Philosier and some elder Old Elves reaching a pious level, it was already a good start.
...
The Flame Clan wasn’t like the Gale Tribe, so achieving such results was a pleasant surprise for Eve.
As she listened to the prayers of the believers and saw their living conditions through their memories, Eve felt even more sorrowful…
They roamed everywhere, hiding from the hunting teams of humans and Half-Beasts; they lacked food and, at the most critical times, could only fill their stomachs with grass roots and bark…
*How many elderly elves had fallen during migrations, how many young adults had perished fighting enemies, and how many young elves had died prematurely or been hunted by other races…*
Among the many Elf Tribes, the population of nearly ten thousand from the Flame Clan was considered a large tribe, yet now less than three hundred remained, mostly the elderly, weak, and sick, with an average strength not reaching Black Iron Middle Rank.
Over these millennia, the Elf Clan had suffered too much hardship. Eve had no doubt that if things continued this way, elves might completely become history within a hundred years.
“You have already endured enough. Since I inherited the World Tree’s legacy, I will naturally protect you.”
Eve sighed deeply, drawing out several points of Divine Power, crossing the void to confer it to the past.
With the conferral of Eve’s Divine Power, the Flame Clan members who had rediscovered their faith immediately felt a holy radiance descend upon them, warm and gentle, and all their illnesses vanished in an instant.
Each person felt a renewed vitality and vigor from within, even the elderly elves bursting with strong vitality.
Not only that, but they also vaguely felt some shackles break within them, as if their entire bodies and souls were freer.
It was the restrictive curse placed on the Elf Clan after the War of the Gods, passed down through generations… and it was also the main cause of the Elf Clan’s fall from the silver rank.
After regaining their faith, Eve had the power to dispel the curse from them.
Of course, since the curse was a one-time thing, Eve’s dispelling wouldn’t attract the enemies’ attention.
The elves’ strength immediately saw enhancement, with even a few directly breaking through ranks, reaching Black Iron Middle Rank!
Of course, it only improved that much.
It wasn’t that Eve couldn’t continue to boost their strength, but doing so would instead deplete their potential.
These native elves were different from the players; they were descendants of the Primordial Elves, not directly born from the World Tree.
Although they shared the long millennial lifespan of the Primordial Elves, their innate talents were significantly lacking.
The players’ bodies, on the other hand, were directly created by Eve, belonging to the Primordial Elves.
Not only that, but their bodies had been modified to a certain extent, offering exceptional talent and able to endure more of Eve’s Divine Power, far beyond what the natives could withstand.
“It’s Divine Favor! This is the Divine Favor of Nature!”
Feeling the changes in their bodies, every Flame Tribe elf grew excited.
Some elderly elves even prayed devoutly while softly crying:
“Mother Goddess has not left… Mother Goddess has not left…”
“Merciful Mother Nature, our beloved True God, thank you for your favor…”
“Praise Mother Nature, praise the Goddess of Life, praise the great Elf Master!”
Watching the excited clanspeople, Philosier was also moved to tears. She trembled as she turned around, kneeling deeply toward the north, then stood up with Samir’s help.
“Going home…”
She looked at the clanspeople below, her lips murmuring, her facial wrinkles trembling.

“Going home…!”
She repeated it once more, her voice more resolute, her gaze growing more devout.
“We—are going home!”
She shouted excitedly, her trembling voice carrying the elves’ prayers far away…
Far away…
…
…
With Samir’s assistance, the Flame Tribe of the elves set off.
This time, they no longer wandered; this time, they no longer were lost.
They had found their belonging…
They were going home now.
Feeling the anxious and excited feelings of over two hundred believers in the Divine Space, Eve sighed deeply.
*”Predecessor, what exactly did you do to be besieged by the gods, was it really just because others coveted the godhood and faith?”*
At that moment, she grew increasingly curious about the true story of the divine war a millennium ago.
Although Eve inherited the legacy of the World Tree, knowing her enemies, the memories about the reasons for the divine war were vague, merely mentioning disputes over faith.
But seeing the former Silver Clan now in such dire straits, Eve couldn’t help but think that perhaps this incomplete legacy really had omitted some crucial clues.
*However, these matters were beyond what she could consider at the moment; she could only focus on quickly restoring her strength.*
*The enemies would return someday, and the truth would eventually surface.*
What Eve had to do was to become strong enough before facing them, then defeat all the enemies, and stand once again at the pinnacle of Segus!
This would be a difficult process, but with the help of the Elf Clan and the players, it was not impossible.
With this thought, Eve’s heart grew increasingly resolute.
“The players’ growth, along with the partial return of the Elf Clan, is indeed a double blessing. Hehe, it seems the second closed beta can’t be delayed anymore, as three hundred players are already a bit inadequate.”
She pondered for a moment and decided to set the second closed beta in one and a half months, which was ten days later in Blue Star time.
This was set in conjunction with the Flame Clan’s return schedule; in her estimation, the Flame Tribe would need about two months of travel to return to the core area of the Elf Forest, just in time to train new players to assist them in settling down.
As for the initial three hundred players, Eve had already planned a new opponent for them.
That was the Half-Beast Tribe lurking near the Elf Forest.
But before that, it was better to let them explore the Feilengcui Sacred Land thoroughly; maybe there would be new discoveries.
With this in mind, Eve manipulated the Divine Power, issuing a new task to the players:
Main Quest — Explore the Holy City!
