Chapter 97: Chapter 97: Becoming the Divine Country
“`html
After using a guise as Death God’s Favored to eliminate the fleeing Half-Beast, Eve’s consciousness returned to the Divine Space.
With this demonstration of a Divine Miracle before the Flame Clan, her standing among these native elves increased once more.
In an instant, nearly half of what were originally over a hundred casual believers directly crossed over to become devout believers!
They collectively provided Eve with 7 points of divine power!
Moreover, the feedback from the Elf Souls brought about by the direct and indirect killing of more than three hundred Half-Beasts was also considerable.
...
Over time, although this feedback from the Elf Souls had greatly diminished compared to the beginning, it still amassed to 40 points of divine power.
Yet, Eve estimated that perhaps after some more time, this method of obtaining divine power feedback by fulfilling the wishes of Elf Souls would become completely ineffective…
*Makes sense, after all, it’s been a thousand years. Although the resentment generated by the Elf Souls was great, there would always be a time when it would be exhausted or worn out.*
Aside from the 47 points of divine power acquired, a young Black Dragon of silver strength (Level 66) was an unexpected gain.
However, Eve wasn’t particularly happy.
Because in this mission, a total of 38 elves from the Flame Tribe died in battle.
And the entire Flame Tribe originally only had 219 elves left.
The 38 elves who died in battle were all old elves, and their belief was devout in level.
This made Eve feel a strong sense of guilt.
For not achieving a bloodless rescue this time, a large portion of the blame lay on her.
She hadn’t anticipated that the Half-Beast tribe was actually situated near the entrance between the Dark Mountain Range and the Elf Forest and had prepared an ambush in advance!
“*I overestimated myself. With the return of my strength after escaping a near-death state, I became a bit conceited and failed to communicate with Samir and the others beforehand!*” Eve self-reflected.
If she had been more cautious, if she had assigned the players the task of guidance a bit earlier, perhaps the tragedy could have been avoided.
Sighing, Eve thought for a moment, and 38 transparent souls flew from the outside world into her Divine Space.
These were the souls of the deceased elves!
Low-level creatures would lose most of their memories when they died, retaining only fragmented and vague memory shards…
And if they ascended to the Divine Country, their souls would completely lose their memory when crossing the crystal wall system.
Of course, the priests and priests blessed by the True God were exceptions. Their souls were granted memory protection by the True God while they were still alive.
Just like the souls ascending to the Divine Country, these 38 elves were not priests, so they lost all their memories instantaneously upon entering the Divine Space.
And at the moment when these elves’ souls entered the Divine Space, Eve’s Divine Space immediately changed!
The original Divine Space was merely a chaotic void filled with countless swirling green photons, but the moment the believers’ souls came in, the entire space began to transform!
As if the heavens and earth were opening, the chaotic parts continuously sank, transforming into lands.
While above, a sky formed. The photons symbolizing the believers and players turned into twinkling stars, incredibly bright!
The souls of the 38 elves reverted to their youthful appearance, transforming into devout Elf Prayer Mergers.
And as they became Mergers, the barren lands changed again; countless plants emerged from the ground, quickly turning into a forest world suitable for elves to live!
Simultaneously, a giant tree sprouted from the center of the world, rapidly growing into the form of the World Tree…
As she observed the changes in the Divine Space, a realization dawned upon Eve:
“Divine Country Transformation! The Divine Space is undergoing a transformation into a Divine Country!”
In the Segis World, there were two origins for a True God’s Divine Country.
One was the development of a Divine Country on a half-plane by the Divine,
and the other was to transform one’s own Divine Space, embodying it as a Divine Country!
The former was more convenient, a method pursued by faith-based deities, but it had the weakness of being easily discovered and besieged.
The latter was relatively covert, but much tougher to establish, as it meant requiring early spread of faith and complete mastery of godly duties…
Only some ancient gods interested in faith would employ the second method.
Because to fully master godly duties, the prerequisite was having a Divine Country.
However, without establishing a Divine Country, ordinary beings would not possess godly duties, so secular creatures aspiring to become True Gods could only take the half-plane route.
Only those who were already ancient gods could take the second path!
However, the previous World Tree did not choose to embody her Divine Country, but rather took the same path as the True God of Faith.

Her Divine Country had long since shattered along with her demise and was also not in the Segis World.
Eve inherited the legacy of the World Tree but did not inherit her Divine Country.
And now, when the soul of the believers entered Eve’s Divine Space, it actually triggered the transformation of the Divine Space into a Divine Country!
Eve did not stop this transformation.
Because this meant that as an ancient god, she would completely grasp the authority belonging to a faith deity!
In the future, her utilization of faith would be more efficient than before!
Their similar effect would also reflect in the game system, which Eve constructed; it bore an uncanny resemblance to faith channels and would also be somewhat influenced.
And after the Divine Space underwent this transformation into a Divine Country, Eve completely dispelled the idea of reviving the elves…
Because she realized that these Mergers provided her with seemingly more faith.
*Perhaps this is where perspective decides ideology.*
Initially, she had planned to allow these elves to descend from the World Tree in the form of Primordial Elves.
Of course, once they became Mergers, the souls of beings, in a sense, unified with a True God and generally couldn’t be reborn.
However, the moment the transformation to a Divine Country began, Eve discovered her ability to create elves changed as well.
Previously, while she could create bodies, creating souls required a significant expenditure.
Actively birthing a Primordial Elf required an expense even greater than enlightening an Oak Guardian!
Yet now, Eve managed to regain the ability to automatically birth Primordial Elves!
This means that even without expending divine power, she could naturally nurture genuine Primordial Elves on the World Tree!
It’s just that the speed was quite slow…
Eve roughly sensed… without using divine power, she could naturally give birth to one Primordial Elf per year at most.
However, if she used divine power, this speed would accelerate.
Roughly every 1 point of divine power spent sped this up by a month, with a maximum acceleration to 30 days.
Upon the birth of an elf, the accelerated effect would reset.
Meaning, with 11 points of divine power, Eve could utilize a month to birth a Primordial Elf!
The newly born Primordial Elves would be in a near-adult state and initially have Black Iron Upper Peak (Level 40) abilities, naturally loyal to Eve.
However, unlike the Divine Favored Oak Guardians, Primordial Elves’ lives and souls weren’t bound to Eve and couldn’t enjoy a systematic inheritance.
Thus, they were blank slates upon birth, with everything needing to be learned anew.
Considering the fragility of their new souls, Evie would at most impart them with some basic knowledge; forming self-awareness, beliefs, and worldviews had to be completed by themselves.
Furthermore, they held great potential to advance to higher levels.
Because Primordial Elves, like a player’s body, were also innately gifted.
*However… expending 11 points of divine power for a Primordial Elf still seemed too extravagant for Eve right now.*
But after some thought, Eve decided to give birth to one to test the effect.
She painfully spent 11 points of divine power, initiating the ability to birth a Primordial Elf.
Nevertheless, no matter how Eve’s abilities in life godly duties improved, the players’ unique position remained unchanged.
Because the revival of natives would weaken their souls each time, but players’ consciousness wouldn’t.
Only the players could be truly “repeatedly utilized!
At the same time, Uller, the God of Winter and Hunting, also sensed the death of a large number of believers.
