Chapter 65: Chapter 65 Thank You, Goodbye

After hearing Wind’s words, Little Xian Miao raised an eyebrow and glanced at the system time, exclaiming in surprise,
“Ah! Oh dear… it’s indeed late, it’s already been five hours on Blue Star! Hmm… are you… are you logging off?”
Wind paused briefly, then nodded.
Little Xian Miao rubbed her chin and said,
“If you’re logging off, you should head to the ‘morgue’ first. Your body will remain in place when you log off from the game, so it’s best to log off from a safe place.”
...
“The… morgue?”
For the first time, Wind’s expression showed clear astonishment and confusion.
“Ah… ah-ha, that’s our nickname for the logout point.”
Little Xian Miao chuckled a bit awkwardly and explained,
“It’s like this: we have a centralized logout point in the town, where players without a ‘home’ can log off. It’s protected by arrays carved by Alice, so it’s very safe after logging off.”
“Well… this game is fully immersive, so your body doesn’t disappear after logging off but just loses control, lying there like a corpse. When they’re lined up in a room, it can be a bit creepy, so we call it the morgue…”
Wind: …
“Of course, ahem… if you don’t mind, you could log off at my place too. Uh… my bed is pretty big.”
Little Xian Miao added.
She had a good impression of this calm new player and vaguely felt the urge to befriend her.
However, Wind didn’t agree immediately.
She just smiled and gently shook her head,
“No worries, I’ve already troubled you a lot today, no need to trouble you anymore.”
Although it was a polite refusal, the warm words and gentle smile didn’t make anyone feel the least bit uncomfortable.
“Oh, I see.”
Little Xian Miao regretfully pinched the edge of her clothes.
Wind took a long look at her, smiling,
“Thank you for keeping me company today, I had a great time. The berries were delicious, and the bonfire party was really fun. Let’s meet again if there’s a chance, I have to go now.”
After speaking, she nodded slightly at Little Xian Miao and turned to walk into the crowd.
“Hey! I haven’t told you where the morgue is!”
Little Xian Miao shouted from behind, hurrying to catch up.
However, Wind’s figure was already gone in the crowd.
“Where did she go?”
Little Xian Miao paused, looking around in search.
Yet she could no longer find a trace of Wind.
She tapped her forehead in frustration,
“Oh dear! After chatting all day, I totally forgot to add her as a friend, I’m such a fool!”
…
In the Elf Forest.
A graceful figure was slowly strolling.
It was Wind.
With each of her steps, the plants on either side of the forest seemed to pay homage to their queen, moving aside autonomously to reveal a path.
The leaves rustled, and fireflies danced around her as if saluting a supreme being.
With every step, a faint radiance emanated from her, making her appear mysterious and holy in the darkness.
Her hair gradually lengthened, and its original golden hue transformed into a magnificent silver.
Her height increased, and her figure became taller and more elegant.
Her emerald eyes faded from green, turning into a mysterious and noble violet.
Her features became more refined, more unparalleled.
Even her original novice outfit transformed into a Holy Divine Dress, condensed from Divine Power.
It was as if in an instant, she had transformed from a princess fallen to earth back into a Goddess of the heavens.
No.
She was the Goddess.
If any players were present, they would have certainly noticed that she looked exactly like the statue enshrined in the Natural Temple!
The Mother Nature, Life Goddess, Elf Sovereign—Eve Yggdrasil.
Yes, Wind was a manifestation created by Eve for herself.
And the core used was Hela’s Soul Storage Orb!
Her power was also gradually rising, a hint of majesty beginning to emanate outward.

Until… it reached a pinnacle.
“Barely Gold, huh…”
Feeling the power within her, she let out a sigh.
“The Soul Storage Orb isn’t fully restored yet; I can only exert this much power for now.”
“Still, being able to enjoy the long-lost freedom of movement is enough.”
“Hmm… it’s been so long since I last ate anything; I didn’t expect the food in the Elf Forest to be so tasty.”
After saying this, a sudden thought flickered in her mind.
Streams of deathly aura steadily spread from her.
The silver hair that reached her waist was tinged with a deep hue, turning from bright silver to dark silver.
Her purple eyes turned crimson.
Even her appearance changed slightly at her direction, becoming a little less perfect and more subtle.
Her pointy ears transformed into a human-like shape.
Additionally, her formerly splendid Divine Dress morphed once again into a somewhat somber black dress armor… an altered elf outfit that Eve had obtained from the players.
Sensing her new state, she smiled slightly,
“Activating the Divine Power of the Soul Storage Orb lets me wear the title of Death God’s Favored.”
“It’s like having two identities all at once! I truly am a genius!”
She turned her head back, gazing once more in the direction of Elf Town.
There, the lights flickered faintly, with the players’ laughter still faintly audible.
A faint smile spread across her face,
“Though I opened this ‘game’ for myself, seeing them so happy also somewhat affects me.”
“In the future… I should be a little kinder to them. Hmm… maybe add 50… hmm… 10 contribution points to each task. Any more, and it might lead to inflation.”
But gradually, the smile on her face faded into a hint of gloom.
*”Is it the influence of merging with the World Tree? I feel like I can never regain that state.”*
She reached out, rubbing her forehead.
*She initially thought that wearing a new identity would naturally integrate her into the players’ circle.*
*After all, she inherently belonged to them.*
*However, reality proved that now as a True God, she seemed unable to reclaim that feeling.*
*Her personality, her aura, seemed to have been influenced by something.*
*Even with a change of identity, she couldn’t suppress her unique presence…*
*Rather than a human, she increasingly resembled a True God standing high above.*
*She sighed, unsure whether this was good or bad.*
Of course, Eve speculated that it might also be because she hadn’t fully mastered the power of a True God.
But regardless, having gained the legacy of the World Tree and also inheriting the World Tree’s enemy, she knew that this world wasn’t as idyllic as the players imagined.
As she gradually summoned players and examined the elven historical records they retrieved, she also became more aware of her distinctiveness…
As a True God, the authority that the World Tree possessed seemed more overwhelming than she had anticipated.
And the secret of the Divine War of the millennium was far deeper than she had imagined…
She still had a long road ahead, a road full of perils, filled with uncertainties, yet also leading to infinite possibilities.
This was destined to be a lonely path.
This was also predestined to be a path of the strong.
However, on her journey toward the highest divine throne, she still hoped in her heart to retain a bit of human likeness…
“In the future… if there’s time, perhaps I should play like this again…”
Eve believed…
Perhaps the arrival of the players could allow her to maintain that sliver of humanity on her path as a True God.
And not completely transform into a deity who sees all things as ants, aloof and detached.
*Yes, it was definitely not because she was inherently poor at interacting with others…*
“After a day of playing, it’s time to return.”
Sighing softly, divine brilliance blossomed from her, and her figure slowly faded away.
