Calan Continent, Central Mountain Range.
The main temple of the Moonlight Goddess.
As the will of the Goddess descended on the tall statue in the center of the temple, the entire Moonlight Temple was hidden in a faint shadow of the moon.
Aurora knelt in fear in front of the statue, silently enduring the cold gaze of the Goddess. Although the Goddess did not speak, she could already feel the strong dissatisfaction and silent reprimand in the eyes of the Goddess.
"Esteemed Goddess, has the news of Mistress Cynthia's death been verified?" Aurora mustered up her courage and asked in a low voice.
Seriously speaking, the authority and rank of an Oracle were far above her, the Temple Priestess. Therefore, she still needed to confirm the exact news of Cynia with the Goddess herself.
After a long silence, the cold and sweet voice of the Moonlight Goddess finally echoed in the minds of the priests of the Pantheon.
"Cynia is completely dead! Her soul did not return to the Holy Kingdom, but was completely captured by the enemy … "
The Goddess' reply left everyone speechless.
Although they had imagined many bad situations, they still did not expect the situation to be so bad. This … this … was simply the worst situation that even they dared not imagine!
In the entire Elven System, the Moonlight Temple could only be regarded as a small sect. A grade 3 Oracle was already the strongest force they could send out. If Cynia really died in Jintha Alor, the impact on the Moonlight Temple would undoubtedly be very terrible, and it was also something that a 'small' Temple Priestess like her could not even imagine!
The Moonlight Temple had already inquired about the Witch Disaster.
The only grade 4 powerhouse sent by the evil witches was stationed on Shadow Island and did not rashly enter the Calan Continent. In order to deal with this pale grade 4 witch, the major temples had selected elite guards and powerful Elven Oracles to guard the front line, closely monitoring the other party's every move.
Under such circumstances, the number of witch teams that the other party could send to sneak around the Calan Continent to cause trouble and plunder was not only limited, but also very average.
It was precisely because of this that Aurora, the High Priestess of the Temple of Light, hurriedly reported to the Goddess of Moonlight after one of her followers' settlements was destroyed. She was prepared to use this witch-killing operation to show the Goddess of Moonlight's divinity and the Goddess of Moonlight's love for her people to the entire continent.
According to Aurora's calculations, a team of over a hundred fighters who worshiped the Goddess of Darkness was already a powerful force. With the addition of a Tier 3 Oracle who wielded the Goddess of Darkness's divine power, such a force should be more than enough to deal with any Evil Witches that tried to sneak into Sapphire Continent.
Unfortunately, no matter how much she speculated, she was unable to believe that such a powerful team of Oracles would unexpectedly fail in the Illusory Magic Forest. What was more serious was that not only had they failed, but they had almost been completely wiped out.
The news of the defeat was brought back by some of the surviving members of the team, and they all claimed to have witnessed the fall of the Oracle Cynthia.
The Moonlight Temple's sole Tier 3 Oracle, Cynnia, had died under the combined attack of a Tier 3 Witch of Evil and a Tier 3 Thunder Dragon. Her broken body even became the enemy's spoils of war and was not taken back by the elves.
This terrible news immediately caused panic in the Moonlight Temple!
Therefore, even though she knew that she would be punished by the Goddess of Darkness, the Temple Officiant Aurora still braced herself and contacted the Moonlight Goddess who was far away in the Divine Kingdom. After receiving the news, the Moonlight Goddess chose to personally descend upon the statue of the Goddess of Darkness.
The descent of the Goddess of Darkness!
In the more than seven thousand years since the Moonlight Temple was built, this kind of behavior had never been seen before.
If one really had to count with one's fingers, the last time the Moonlight Goddess personally descended was during the ancient war between the Elven God System and the Human God System. But today, the high and mighty Moonlight Goddess had chosen to descend once again for the sake of a Tier 3 Divine Emissary. The meaning behind this was self-evident!
This time, the blow was simply earth-shattering for the Moonlight Temple.
The loss of personnel and combat power was secondary. The most important thing was that the faith and trust of the Elven believers in the Moonlight Goddess had been seriously shaken. The latter was undoubtedly the foundation and cornerstone of the former!
For a large force like the Elven Temple, the loss of a hundred or so fighters might not be a big deal. But for the small Moonlight Temple, it was as if their backbone had been broken. It was a pain that pierced through their bones. And the fall of a high-grade Oracle meant that the Moonlight Temple had lost its right to speak among the Forest Elves.
At least before a new Oracle was trained, the strongest force of the Moonlight Temple could only be a group of Tier 2 Elves! And what kind of status could a Tier 2 Oracle have in front of those Tier 3 or even Tier 4 Oracles? Who would take her words seriously!
Moreover, Cynnia's soul had not returned, which meant that the secrets inside the Moonlight Temple that she knew might also be obtained by the witches. At that time, the evil witches would use this information to stir up trouble. The damage to the Moonlight Temple and the Moonlight Goddess would undoubtedly be greater and more troublesome.
It was precisely because the Moonlight Goddess realized the seriousness of this matter that she chose to personally descend upon the main temple.
On the one hand, this could quickly calm the shaken beliefs of the believers. On the other hand, it would also make it convenient for 'her' to arrange the next attack on the evil witches.
Yes, she wanted to immediately arrange a battle, and then use a brilliant victory to dilute the shadow of this fiasco. But before that, she still needed to borrow something from a 'friend'.
There was nothing strange about it. Even in the Divine Realm, the gods had all sorts of strange relationships with each other. Like mortals, the high and mighty gods would also inexplicably become friends with another true god or inexplicably become enemies with another true god because of their priesthood and character.
In the Elven God System, the relationship between the Moonlight Goddess Mivi and the Forest Origin Yurga was particularly close. The relationship between the two was like that of brother and sister. Yurga was the elder brother, and Mivi was the younger sister. Although the two male goddesses were not related by blood in the secular world, they naturally had a sense of closeness because of the affinity between their priesthoods.
The Forest Origin Yurga was an Elven God that all the Druids in the Elven Kingdom chose to believe in, so he was a Tier 5 True God with a fixed group of believers. His priesthood, in addition to 'Nature, Druid, Flora and Fauna Affinity', also included 'Forest'.
And the Moonlight Goddess Mivi also had a 'Forest' in her priesthood.
If this was the Evil God World, this kind of conflict between priesthoods would definitely lead to a terrifying and bloody war between the gods. It would only end when one side completely grasped control of the priesthood of the world. But in the peaceful Elven God System, not only did the overlapping priesthoods not cause a war between the Forest Origin Yurga and the Moonlight Goddess Mivi, but it also inexplicably brought the two gods closer to each other.
According to some ancient myths and legends, the Forest Origin Yurga's predecessor was the first Tier 4 Great Druid born in the Faern Plane. In order to continue protecting and giving back to the Illusory Magic Forest after his death, he asked his descendants to bury his body under the tallest oak tree.
And his deeds when he was alive deeply touched many people who came after him, and he became the object of worship for the new Druid community.
Finally, after the passage of thousands of years, a huge amount of faith power gathered under the tall oak tree, and thus formed the current Forest Origin Yurga.
As for the Moonlight Goddess Mivi, she appeared two to three thousand years later than the Forest Origin Yurga.
It seemed that her appearance was partly due to Yurga's active guidance and participation. So after Mivi's consciousness and will were born, she naturally saw Yurga as her elder brother. Their relationship was also closer and purer than the other Elven Gods.
Of course, the two gods' main bodies were sitting high up in their Divine Kingdoms. Their usual interactions and communication were either through divine will or through avatars. The chances of them using their main bodies were very low. If they did not have absolute trust, no god would use their main body to enter the Divine Kingdom of another True God.
This was because a True God's Divine Kingdom was equivalent to an extension of his or her Divine Power Domain. In this domain, even a True God who was a few ranks higher than him or her would not be able to shake his or her authority and power. So even if a Tier 6 Overgod entered a Tier 5 True God's Divine Kingdom, it was equivalent to putting his or her life and soul in the hands of the other party.
The risk involved was so great that no god dared to try it lightly!
So after the Moonlight Goddess arrived at the Moonlight Shrine, with just a thought, she had already contacted another Druid holy land in the Central Mountain Range, the Emerald Dream.
This was a mysterious and quiet green meadow.
In the center of the green meadow stood a towering oak tree that reached into the clouds.
This ancient tree was so tall and majestic that it simply exceeded the imagination of mortals. Just the ancient tree's swaying trunk alone was tens of meters thick. The huge canopy that stretched out like an umbrella was verdant and abnormally lush. At a glance, one could feel the exuberant vitality.
As the birthplace of Yurga, the source of the forest, this tall oak tree naturally became the favorite gathering and living area of the Druid community. In the forest around the tall oak tree, there were hundreds of Druids of different ages and ranks.
When the Goddess of Moonlight Mivi's will arrived and turned into a beautiful elven maiden, the tall ancient tree shuddered slightly. Then, an old man draped in clothes woven from green vines walked out of the tree.
"Welcome, Lady Mivi!"
The old man held an oak staff in his hand. His face was old and unsophisticated, and his skin was bronze. His head was covered in braids of various sizes. Tied at the end of each braid was a seed, or an animal tooth, or a small pebble, or something strange like that.
