Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 936 - 662: One Month

Guided by the wind, Sophia entered the Life Temple.

This was her first time entering a temple of a True God other than the Eternal Lord, and her only time voluntarily entering a Divine’s temple, so she felt inexplicably uneasy.

Unlike the always solemn and quiet Eternal Church, the Life Temple seemed to have more believers coming and going...

Here, almost every moment there were excited Elf Chosen Ones entering the temple to pray, fervently worshipping and praying to the holy statue of the Goddess, incredibly devout.

Seeing these sincere Elf Believers, even Sophia was subtly affected...

This flourishing faith sufficiently indicated the high prestige of the Goddess of Life and also demonstrated the elves’ steadfast faith.

And this made Sophia respect the Goddess of Life even more in her heart.

In her view, unless the believers were truly living happily and joyfully, it would be absolutely impossible to produce such a grand scene in the temple.

Of course, this was also because the Half-elf Girl didn’t know that although the Elf Chosen Ones carried the title of the Goddess’ Favored, in reality, they were not true believers at all, most of them were just false believers attracted by the Goddess’ appearance and the exchange store...

And the reason for their devout prayers in the temple was merely to open the exchange store to redeem items or participate in prize draws.

In a sense, the relationship between the Goddess and players was somewhat like "since it doesn’t cost anything, why not believe a little."

But even this belief was more like a fanfare or "love" rather than "faith" as a lifetime doctrine.

At the moment the girl entered the temple, she also became the focus of the players’ attention.

For a moment, many players cast curious glances at her.

Seeing those curious Elf Chosen Ones sizing her up, Sophia’s expression showed a hint of hesitation. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

And as she was hesitating whether she needed to inquire about who was the priest Dongdong, a somewhat cheerful female voice sounded from the side:

"Are you Sophia?"

Sophia’s heart stirred, she looked toward the source of the voice and saw an Elf Girl in priest robes.

She had golden hair and blue eyes, her exquisitely beautiful appearance was definitely the best among elves.

And beside the Elf Girl stood a male Elf Priest, on his shoulder sat a cute ’small elf’ only thirty centimeters tall, with butterfly-like wings behind, curiously staring at Sophia with pure big eyes, while happily chewing on an unknown nut.

What kind of adorable creature is this?

Sophia’s gaze was immediately attracted.

Seeing her surprised look, the Elf Girl greeting her smiled faintly.

With an elf clan gesture, she said enthusiastically:

"Let me introduce myself, I am Dongdong, one of the Silver Priests at the Gray Harbor Branch Temple of the Life Church."

After speaking, she pointed to the male elf beside her:

"This is Xia Mu, the future High Priest of the Gray Harbor Branch Temple, and on his shoulder is his partner, the Elemental Elf Dingdang."

Hearing Dongdong’s words, Sophia brightened up.

With a solemn expression, she greeted them with a noble gesture and seriously said:

"I am Sophia, I wanted to find you... to listen to the teachings of the Goddess Under the Divine Crown..."

Dongdong and Xia Mu exchanged a glance and smiled slightly.

"Of course, we have been waiting for you here for a long time."

She said happily.

After speaking, she touched Xia Mu’s shoulder, and a flash of light appeared in Xia Mu’s hand, revealing a thick stack of books, with the topmost "Life Scripture" cover gold characters shimmering faintly, below vaguely visible words such as "limitations of feudalism," "religion and freedom," "awakening of the people"...

"These are learning materials we prepared specifically for Miss Sophia, believe that after reading these, your future path will become clearer..."

Dongdong showed a smiling expression.

...

Seeing Sophia meet Dongdong and Xia Mu through the game network, and receiving the learning (indoctrination) materials prepared by them on her special mission, Eve was satisfied and returned to the Divine Country.

Dongdong was counted as quite an outstanding priest among the players.

Compared to Demacia’s viral preaching, the believers she persuaded tended to have deeper faith.

With her to guide Sophia, it couldn’t be more suitable.

"Hopefully... she won’t disappoint me."

Returning to her divine seat, Eve murmured with some expectation.

She had quite a bit of hope for Sophia.

If a devoted believer could be nurtured, to destabilize the Eternal Church’s faith foundation, and even bring more believers to her, it would be ideal.

Although the Elf Forest wasn’t exactly as good as she claimed while disguised, but compared to the Eternal Church’s sphere of influence, Eve still thought her own church was much stronger.

Of course, the discussions with the girl about equality and pursuits were essentially just rhetoric.

After all... in a transcendent world with Divine presences, talking about equality is absurd!

At most, it’s just relative justice among believers.

And it’s the equality and justice "gifted" by the Divine...

No help for it, this is the way of the world.

But likewise, Eve was not entirely shooting randomly.

Although still reaping believers’ faith, with her [Absorption] power, and being an ancient god, she was clearly more tolerant to believers than other True Gods of Faith...
