Game of the World Tree - Chapter 479

479. Chapter 477: Just a False God…

Eve didn’t look directly at the believers’ prayers she heard, but returned to the Kingdom of God and directly connected to her own faith network…

Now there are more and more believers.

It is no longer a good idea to operate the faith network with one’s own soul and godhood as the core, listen to the believers’ prayers and respond.

Therefore, Eve had already completely bound the faith network to the Kingdom of God.

Here is a point to mention.

As mentioned in many Blue Star novels, the power of faith is not without any side effects.

In the most intuitive way, even if it is a true god, if you can hear the prayers of countless believers all the time, including some trivial matters, then… even if the true god’s soul is powerful, it will be annoying.

However, this is not the most important thing.

The most important thing is that if you listen to the believers’ prayers for a long time and let your soul be completely immersed in the power of faith, the true god may even be polluted…

Yes, pollution.

At least… for those who want to maintain their original heart before becoming a god, it is a kind of pollution.

The power of faith is powerful and magical, with infinite possibilities.

Even the true God cannot fathom its mystery, and can only use transformation…

But at the same time, the believers’ cognition of the true God hidden in the power of faith will also affect the true God itself.

Generally speaking, if the true God is in direct contact with the power of faith for a long time, the soul is likely to be eroded by faith, and the mentality and thoughts will change, and eventually gradually become the true God recognized by the believers, rather than the original self…

Therefore, when the number of her believers broke through a certain limit, Eve adopted the common method used by other believers of the true God early.

That is to separate her own faith network from the soul, and take the kingdom of God as the official core of the faith network. She only needs to control the faith network through the kingdom of God.

To put it in an analogy, this is equivalent to building a faith computer in the kingdom of God to assist the true God in managing the faith network.

This kingdom of God faith network can even listen to the prayers of ordinary believers on behalf of the true God and make certain responses, and handle the promotion of ordinary priests or pastors, etc.

In this way, not only the workload is reduced, but also the influence of faith on the true God is avoided, and the true God only needs to enjoy the power of faith provided by the believers.

However, this also has disadvantages.

That is, maintaining the faith network of the Kingdom of God requires a lot of consumption.

And the more believers there are, the greater the consumption, resulting in a lower conversion rate of faith power into divine power…

This is why many true gods with powerful divine power have a terrifying number of believers.

There is no other way. If you want to maintain a powerful divine power and keep your true self, when the conversion rate of divine power is very low, you will definitely need more believers.

And more believers mean a greater burden, which also means a lower conversion rate…

Such a vicious cycle also leads to a terrifying number of believers required by powerful true gods…

Of course, letting the Kingdom of God network handle the prayers and responses of believers on its own is only for ordinary believers.

The true God will definitely treat some specific prayers and special believers specially and listen to them personally.

Well, in a sense, the game system made by Eve is equivalent to a special faith network, which is connected to His real faith network…

By the way, the reason why Eve dared to appear on the stage of the Segos world openly and showed her rapid growth and her almost open protection of the elves was not only because Hela took the blame and He also had a vest, but also because Eve considered the special power of faith and thought of another way to explain her identity and power…

Well, a way that suits Him very well, and even His similar appearance to the previous World Tree can be explained…

Of course, this is all later.

Back to the present.

As a true god who intends to operate the way of faith for a long time, Eve naturally set some conditions for personally listening to the prayers of believers.

And her setting is either the prayers of fanatics or above, or the desperate prayers of believers who are in great danger…

Obviously, through the vaguely perceived emotions of the prayer believers, this time it is the latter.

Therefore, Eve must check the situation in person.

And… He also roughly knew who it should be this time.

With her consciousness connected to the faith network of the Kingdom of God, Eve quickly saw the praying believers and the environment they were in.

This was a rugged foothill.

A dozen hooded elves were huddled under a dead tree, their faces pale.

These elves were of different ages. The young were protected in the center, while the young and old stood outside with weapons. Many of them were already injured.

Among them, a female elf with blonde hair and blue eyes was lying in the center of the crowd.

Her face was pale, even a little gray, obviously due to excessive consumption of magic power, or forced to use some powerful skills and suffered backlash.

And her appearance had long been on Eve’s list.

Selina Gale.

She was one of the senior staff of the Oak Hand and a good friend of the Saint of Life Alice Gale. She was active in the human world all year round, saving elves and half-elves hunted by humans.

Selena was captured after a mission and imprisoned in the slave trader’s guild of Maple Leaf City in the Holy Mannia Empire. She was finally rescued by the player. (See Chapters 288-290 for details)

She also returned to the Elf Forest once, but in the end she gave up her comfortable life and decided to go to the human world to continue working hard to save her compatriots.

It can be said that this is an elf believer that Eve admires very much.

And among the prayers Eve just received, the clearest one was hers.

By the way, although her faith has not reached the level of a fanatic, she is also a senior devout believer, and Eve has high expectations for her.

After she returned to the Elf Forest, Eve also listed her as one of the objects of attention, and would cast her eyes on her from time to time to see the current situation of the Oak Hand Organization through her.

Of course, because he has been worrying about the affairs of the Orros demiplane recently, he has not paid attention to the other party for many days.

However, Eve has already decided that once Selena’s faith reaches the level of a fanatic, she will accept her as a favored person of God…

Now, when Eve saw the desolate mountains around her, she frowned slightly:

“Dark Mountains? Isn’t Selina active in the human world? How could she be in the Dark Mountains?”

That’s right.

The location of these dozen elves is the Dark Mountains!

Eve was a little confused for a moment, wondering how they could appear here. After all… no matter from which angle you look at it, the Holy Manya Empire is too far away from the Dark Mountains, and there is an Elf Forest in between.

However, when Eve noticed the clothes on these elves, her heart moved slightly.

Unlike the imperial costumes that Eve was familiar with, which were elegant and solemn, the hoods of these elves all had some slightly gorgeous patterns, and this kind of exaggerated and gorgeous pattern was only popular in another human kingdom in the south, the Kingdom of Iris, whose strength was second only to the Holy Manya Empire.

These elves… are from the Kingdom of Iris!

In an instant, Eve guessed their identities.

At the same time, he also had some speculations about Selina’s actions.

Because he had received prayers from the believers of the Oak Hand organization some time ago, and it was said that they were going to the Kingdom of Iris to rescue their people.

The Kingdom of Iris is on the east side of the Death Desert and the south of the Fertile Plains, and is also separated from the Forest of Elves by half of the Dark Mountains.

If you want to return to the Forest of Elves, you do need to pass through here while avoiding the human world.

It seems that this is another group of elves rescued by the Oak Hand.

However, since Eve’s player army defeated the army of the orcs, the Dark Mountains have become Eve’s backyard in a sense. Logically speaking… it should be relatively safe.

As long as they don’t go deep into those dangerous places and don’t encounter those powerful monsters, the elves can return to the Forest of Elves through here.

But… now it seems that they are obviously attacked, or… hunted down.

You know, after the return of the Oak Hand, the strength of its members has long been different from the past.

Not to mention anything else, Selena alone has actually risen to the peak of the upper position of Black Iron, and is only one step away from Silver.

If they want to threaten them, there may be a mid-level professional among the enemies.

Could it be a human?

Eve narrowed her eyes slightly.

As his mood changed, the whole kingdom of God was in turmoil for a while.

But soon, Eve saw the enemies of the elves.

There were more than 30 ugly guys holding swords and maces…

“Orcs?”

Eve was surprised.

That’s right.

Orcs. The

ones who caught up and surrounded the elves were actually orcs!

Not only that, their strength was generally high, and the strongest one was actually an orc warrior of the lower silver level.

This was really beyond Eve’s expectations.

You know, after the battle of Black Dragon Castle, the players directly annihilated the 30,000 orcs’ army, which was enough to hurt the orcs, whose total population was only a few hundred thousand.

Not to mention, even their king and chief high priest were killed here.

After that battle, the orcs shrank their sphere of influence and retreated to the Death Desert. Even Uller, the Iron God, became more honest.

Especially after the war in the underground world gradually spread, Uller became more obedient.

But now, the orcs have appeared in the Dark Mountains again?

They also attacked the returning elves?

How dare they!

The players nowadays are no longer the same players as before!

For a moment, Eve narrowed her eyes, her breath was a little dangerous.

“I don’t like the shabby place of the Death Desert, and I’m too lazy to deal with you for the time being, but you’re jumping up again?”

“Or do you still feel no pain after the death of 30,000 troops? Do you want me to do it?”

However, although he said so, he was a little confused and alert in his heart.

The orcs who had shrunk their sphere of influence suddenly entered the Dark Mountains again and attacked the elves. This must be something that happened in a place that he didn’t know.

And it was definitely not a good thing.

Of course, it is also possible that these orcs simply got hot-headed again and wanted to carry forward the racial tradition of looting.

But in any case, since he received the prayers of the believers and it was related to the safety of the elves, Eve would definitely not sit idly by.

He had already made a mistake when the Flame Tribe returned.

Although it was because his strength was too low at that time, it was ultimately because of his improper operation that some elves died…

Every elf is precious to Eve.

Since His strength is now far beyond what it was before, He will not watch His followers being bullied.

Even if He uses His divine power at such a long distance, it will consume a lot of energy.

Thinking of this, Eve decisively separated a part of her power and threw it across the void…

…

Dark Mountains.

The elves looked at the orcs who surrounded them with anger.

And in their anger, there was a hint of despair and unwillingness.

“I thought there was only one last leg left before returning home, but I didn’t expect to encounter orcs…”

“These bastards!”

“Didn’t the Emerald Mountains have been recaptured by our tribesmen? Why are there orcs?”

“Don’t be afraid, the goddess of life will definitely protect us…”

“Goddess of life? Humph… Although I have inherited the priesthood of Her Majesty the Mother Goddess, in my mind, the only one who is truly worthy of my faith is our Mother Goddess, the great World Tree!”

“But Her Majesty the Mother Goddess has really fallen, and I heard that the goddess of life was deified by our tribesmen…”

“But Her Majesty the Goddess of Life is not the Mother Goddess after all…”

“Or we are too weak, if we can be stronger…”

“Is this the only way to go?”

The voices of the elves were very chaotic and desperate.

Listening to the words of the tribesmen, Selina, who was lying in the center, couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

Her Majesty the Mother Goddess stood in the foreground as the goddess of life, which was indeed much safer.

But… it also increased the difficulty of preaching.

However, if she didn’t return to the Elf Forest, she couldn’t tell her tribesmen that the goddess of life was Her Majesty the Mother Goddess.

Everything must be considered for the safety of His Majesty.

After coughing a few times, she said with difficulty:

“Don’t despair, the goddess is merciful, and this place is already His Majesty’s sphere of influence. We pray to Him devoutly, and He will definitely respond…”

In Selina’s opinion, praying to the Mother Goddess when encountering difficulties is really a very sad thing.

However, there is no way.

Weakness…

is the original sin.

If only I could be stronger…

At this moment, Selina’s desire to become stronger has never been so strong.

“Hehe, pray? Goddess of Life? Is it that Goddess Eve?”

As soon as she finished speaking, a rough voice with a bit of sarcasm sounded.

It was the leader of the orcs who surrounded the elves, the silver-strength orc warrior.

“It’s just a false god who stole the priesthood of His Majesty the Father God. His Majesty the Father God will let Him know the price of angering the true God. His time is running out…”

“Today, you will all die!”

He sneered.

“Uh… no one will be left alive?”

The other orcs hesitated.

“Leave a pig! This is the request of the high priest! All the elves must die! No one can be let go, or the false god and the god of death will have another undead demon!”

The orc leader roared.

After hearing his words, the elves were very angry:

“False god? You slander the true god so much, be careful to attract the wrath of God and be punished by heaven!”

“God’s punishment?”

The orc leader sneered again.

He said contemptuously:

“A false god is a false god. In front of the real gods, He will pay the price…”

“As for the punishment of heaven…”

He opened his arms, looked up at the sky, and said sarcastically:

“I’m standing here, so come? But you are just a false god who stole the father’s priesthood…”

As soon as he finished speaking, accompanied by a loud bang, a thunder flashing with purple light fell from the sky and struck him directly…
