The thunder was like the wrath of the heavens.
In the eyes of the half-orcs and the confused eyes of the elves, the arrogant half-orc leader was directly struck by the lightning and turned into a piece of black charcoal …
Then, he slowly fell to the ground.
His charred face looked at the sky, as if it was still stuck at the moment when he mocked the gods.
But at this moment, it looked like a kind of ridicule to himself, extremely ridiculous.
The majesty of the gods could not be blasphemed.
Not to mention a true god.
Even if it was a false god, mocking in the other party's sphere of influence was a completely suicidal act.
Especially when this god was not in the heavens, but in this plane, and this half-orc leader was still in the other party's sphere of influence!
The smell of roasted meat began to waft in the air.
The pungent smell caused some of the elves to turn pale and they couldn't help but vomit.
The rest of the half-orcs were completely stunned.
"Dead … dead …"
"Lightning … is a divine punishment! This is a divine punishment! "
"The false god noticed us! No … it's the true god who noticed us! "
Their expressions quickly turned to horror, and then from horror to panic. Finally, they threw down their weapons and scattered …
In just a few breaths, the dozens of half-orcs who surrounded the elves had disappeared. Only the charred corpse on the ground seemed to be telling what had just happened.
The elves' expressions were very interesting.
But soon, they were all excited.
"Divine punishment … it's really divine punishment …"
"This must be the blessing of the gods! The Goddess of Life heard our prayers! "
"Praise nature, praise life, praise the great goddess Eve!"
"But … why is it lightning?"
…
"Of course it's because he's pretentious and gets struck by lightning."
In the God's Kingdom, Eve listened to the elves' praises and prayers and said leisurely.
Although she was a god from another world, she did not value her reputation as much as the true gods of this world, who would fall into a violent rage when they saw the blasphemy of mortals …
But since this half-orc wanted divine punishment so much, wouldn't it be wrong if she didn't give him some?
For this, she even deliberately transformed her divine power into the form of lightning, and even consumed more because of this …
"What a pity. He's a fanatic, and I think he's a backup Chosen. Otherwise, since he's the leader, he most likely knows some secrets about the half-beastmen, and we can leave him alive to get information. "
Eve felt a little regretful.
The moment she "saw" the Half-Orc leader, Eve roughly sensed the level of his faith.
This didn't mean that Eve could see the level of faith of other true gods' believers, but Eve sensed a trace of Oulleur's divine power from the orc leader.
This kind of True God aura could only be possessed by believers who had received the blessing of a True God.
Such believers were generally fanatics who had the potential to become god's chosen ones.
Fanatics were hard to come by.
Eve could almost imagine that, with the bad temper of the simple-minded god in the Heaven Realm, when he sensed that the believer he paid attention to was killed by another true god, especially a true god who was on bad terms with him, his expression would be very interesting.
However, Eve didn't attack the other half-orcs.
This was because the Half-Orc leader was a fanatic, and his soul was protected by Oulleur. No matter what he did, he couldn't stop the soul of the fanatic from returning to the Kingdom of God after his death.
Therefore, the God of Winter and the Hunt, Uleor, would definitely know about this matter from beginning to end.
However, the Half-Orc leader was killed because he offended the dignity of a true god. Even if Oulleur was unhappy, he had to admit it.
Because it was the half-orc who offended the god first.
But if Eve attacked the other half-orcs, the nature would be different.
Perhaps secretly, as long as she wasn't discovered by other true gods, she could bully the weak however she wanted, just like how she dealt with the half-orcs in the core area of the Elf Forest …
But this matter couldn't be put on the surface.
This was the rule of the game between true gods.
The conflict between believers could only be resolved by the strength of believers.
Although Eve didn't like this rule of the game, she couldn't deny that she had benefited a lot from it.
"But if the fanatic has such low IQ, it seems that Oulleur's management of believers is only so-so."
Eve shook her head.
The half-orcs fled, and the elves were finally safe.
Eve sensed that although the elves were more or less injured, and a few of them, including Selena, were seriously injured, their lives were not in danger.
Therefore, Eve gave up the impulse to directly use her divine power to heal them across the void.
After all, there were more and more believers returning, and many of them were attacked and injured. But no matter how abundant Eve's divine power was, it was impossible for her to directly heal them across the void when she encountered one …
"Call the players and let them receive them and heal them at the same time."
She skillfully connected to the game system and sensed the route of Selena and the others. Then, she posted a message on the World Channel:
[The Dark Mountain Range (coordinates 255,437) is about to return to the elves. Nearby players, please receive them.]
It wasn't the first time Eve posted such a message.
Every time a new elf returned, as long as they entered the active range of the players, he would make a similar announcement on the public screen through the system notification. After clicking on the coordinates, the players would also see the location of the elves on the mini-map and their status.
This was a "random mission" that Eve had specially organized after the return of the Inferno tribe to learn from their lesson.
After the players completed the mission, they would be rewarded handsomely.
Now, similar quests had become popular among the players.
Generally speaking, as long as the players saw it, they would rush to do it.
Of course, if Selena and the others had moved forward a little longer, when they officially entered Eve's actual sphere of influence, which was the active range of the players, there would also be a mission for the players to receive them. Now, it was just a little earlier.
When the system message came out, the players who were exploring and killing monsters in the Dark Mountain Range stopped what they were doing.
"Hmm? There's another mission for receiving? "
"Coordinates 255,437 …"
"It's not far from us! Go, go! Don't let others take the mission! "
"Uh … Aren't we killing monsters? They're half dead … "
"Kill my ass! A Black Iron-ranked monster will only give us 1,000 EXP after splitting it among the few of us. Completing a mission for receiving will give us at least 3,000 EXP and 1,000 Contribution Points! If we're lucky enough to escort it to Fei Lengcui, we can even increase the NPC's affinity with us! "
"That's right! Aren't you a priestess? Don't you want to level up? "
"Damn! I remember now. Elves who have just returned will have a crazy amount of faith. If you become a preacher, you can 'freeload' your believers! This is a good opportunity! Let's go, let's go! "
In an instant, the active players in the Dark Mountain Range began to move.
If one were to look at the simulation sand table in the God's Kingdom, one would see that the blue photons in the Dark Mountain Range began to move in a certain direction.
The players began to move. As a senior member of the Oak Hand who had escorted several groups of tribesmen back to the Elven Forest, Selena was aware of the similar reception mechanism.
She pulled herself together and cheered everyone on.
"Everyone, hold on a little longer. We've already attracted the attention of Her Holiness the Goddess. As long as we cross the mountain in front, our tribesmen will definitely receive us home."
When the Elves heard this, their faces were filled with yearning.
These people had either been hiding in the human society or had been rescued from the slaves by the Oak Hand. They had long become numb and had not had such expectations for a long time ….
At this moment, after experiencing the danger just now, their yearning to return home grew stronger and stronger. They also felt a little uneasy.
If one had to use a word to describe it, perhaps it would be 'homesickness'.
The group of Elves supported each other with crutches. Under Eve's gaze, they advanced through the mountain range like pilgrims …
When they crossed the mountain in front with difficulty, they finally saw the figures they were looking forward to …
At the foot of the mountain hundreds of meters in front of them, there were hundreds of Elves gathered!
These Elves were dressed in gorgeous armor and robes. There were even many white-robed priestesses with high statuses.
"Tribesmen! It's really our tribesmen! And there's a priestess! They're here to receive us! "
When they saw these Elves, everyone was excited. Some of the older Elves even cried.
Hundreds of Elves!
There were over a hundred elves here!
How many years had it been since they had seen so many Elves?
Although they had vaguely heard some rumors about the Elves when they were in the Kingdom of Iris, those rumors were too exaggerated. Many Elves did not believe them.
They had once asked Selena for confirmation, but Selena only smiled and did not say anything about the changes in the Elven Forest. Instead, she kept everyone in suspense, making their hearts itch and their anticipation grow.
At this moment, when they saw so many Elves coming to receive them, the Elves' tense hearts finally could not hold it in anymore.
Even the shallow believers in Eve, who had the least faith in her because of the Goddess of Life's disguise, could not help but praise life and nature while cheering excitedly …
However, while the returning Elves were crying and cheering, the leader Selena's expression was a little strange.
The other Elves did not know the identity of these Elves, but she looked at the Elves in groups of three to five. Some were sitting, some were standing, and some were even fooling around. She knew very well who they were.
Every time they returned, there was a high probability that they were the Chosen Ones.
But why were there priestesses?
She was absolutely sure!
Those seven or eight Elves in priestess robes were definitely not ordinary Elves. Because only the Chosen Ones would jump and jump …
However, although the Chosen Ones were loyal to the Goddess, as far as she knew, there were no priestesses.
After all, only believers had the opportunity to become priestesses!
What had happened in the Elven Forest during the two months she had been in the Kingdom of Iris?
Selena fell into shock and confusion.
The Elves saw the players, and the players saw the Elves.
Like the Elves, the players also cheered.
They all stopped what they were doing and rushed over at the same time …
Seeing the players swarming toward them, the Elves were shocked.
They were about to return to their hometown and see their loved ones cheering and welcoming them. It made them feel extremely touched.
Just like the Players, they gritted their teeth and dragged their exhausted and injured bodies after days of continuous running towards the Players …
They could almost see the scene of both sides gathering, hugging, and crying together.
But …
Such a scene did not happen.
The Elves suddenly realized that after the Elves who came to receive them ran for a few dozen meters, they stopped moving forward.
It was as if they had encountered an invisible barrier …
They saw the Elves either running on the spot, or lying in the air, or twisting around like worms, or simply stopped moving forward …
Although they were still cheering, they did not move forward at all.
The Elves were speechless …
Looking at this strange and funny scene that destroyed the touching atmosphere, they all fell into a daze.
However, Selena, who knew the truth and was carried on a stretcher by the Elves, could not help but cover her face.
She coughed and explained with difficulty, "They are the Chosen Ones.
They can't leave the range of activity set by the Goddess, so … this should be the largest range of activity for them. "
The Chosen Ones?
The Elves were stunned.
"This … is the Chosen Ones? The legendary Elven army that the Goddess created with the help of the God of Death? "
They were all speechless.
Along the way, including in the Kingdom of Ayres, they had heard the name of the Chosen Ones more than once.
With the war in the Underground World, the name of the Goddess of Life, Eve, had begun to spread in the world of Segers. Along with it, there were also numerous Elven armies that were said to be loyal to her and had the same resurrection ability as the Heroic Spirit Army — the Chosen Ones!
Although many people thought that the rumors were exaggerated, there was one thing that was absolutely true.
That was, the identity of the Chosen Ones represented the core power of the Goddess Eve, and the Chosen Ones were the direct contributors to the rise of the Elves!
For a moment, the Elves were in awe.
They no longer hesitated and continued forward, finally meeting up with the players.
As soon as they came into contact with each other, the players immediately surrounded them enthusiastically. Almost every Elf had a few players in front of them asking about their well-being, passing them all kinds of fruits that they had brought along with them, and treating their injuries.
Among them, the players around Selena were the most numerous.
"Miss Selena, long time no see!"
"Miss Selena, you came from the Gloom Mountain Range this time. Did you go to the South to meet up with your people?"
"Miss Selena, it's been a long journey. You don't look too good. I just became an official Priestess. Hurry up and treat you!"
The players were very enthusiastic.
However, Selena felt a little ashamed.
Because she realized that these Chosen Ones actually knew her, but she did not know them. At most, she felt that some of them looked familiar …
Actually, there was a reason for this.
Selena was a devout believer and had returned to the Elven Forest before. She had already activated the mission system and could issue missions to the Chosen Ones.
In the eyes of the players, this was the only NPC with a white template in the entire team!
The names of the Elves who activated the mission system would appear in the players' vision. Many of them even had an impression of Selena …
On the contrary, with so many players, Selena would definitely not recognize all of them.
However, as the players healed the Elves, Selena noticed that the Elves in Priestess robes were actually real Priestesses because they used real Divine Spells!
Not only that, Selena also discovered that they could actually clearly identify which Elves in the group were not that devout.
Because those Elves who were still skeptical of the Goddess of Life would be surrounded by the Chosen Ones and hear the Chosen Ones' preaching to the Church of Life in confusion …
Selena was speechless.
"Chosen Ones … are there finally people who are starting to accept the faith of Her Holiness the Goddess and are dedicated to preaching?"
At this moment, she felt inexplicably relieved.
However, she was not worried about those Elves.
Because it had been proven time and time again that those Elves who were skeptical of the Goddess of Life would often become the most devout believers of Goddess Eve after returning to the Elven Forest and learning the truth about the Goddess of Life …
Because their skepticism was their persistence toward the Mother Goddess and the World Tree.
The players' healing was very effective.
Although they were only low-rank Black Iron Priestesses, they had already stabilized Selena's condition.
As soon as her condition stabilized, she could not help but issue a mission to the players.
"Chosen Ones, please take me to see Alice and Lord Zero quickly. I have important news to report …"
"Important news to report?"
Hearing her words, the players' eyes lit up.
Their eyes were faintly green as if they were hungry wolves who had seen delicious food.
At this moment, the players smelled the scent of a plot …
…
Surrounded by the players, the group of Elves successfully returned to the Elven Forest. While Selena was receiving intensive treatment, she met the Saintess of Life Alice and the Chosen One Zero in the temple lounge of the City of Chosen One.
She also told them what she knew.
"You're saying that you received news from the Kingdom of Iris that the Orcs in the Death Desert are starting to stir again and are starting to block the returning Elves. Not only that … through the spies planted in the underground black market of the Kingdom of Iris, you also discovered that the Sauron Chamber of Commerce has been constantly moving recently and is transporting large amounts of strategic materials to the Death Desert?"
Eve, who descended in the disguise of the Chosen One Zero, raised her eyebrows slightly and said softly.
Selena, whose complexion had improved, nodded solemnly.
"Yes, that's right."
"Although the Sauron Chamber of Commerce is a smuggling chamber of commerce, its power and energy are not inferior to a small human country."
"I suspect … that the Orcs have already made contact with the Sauron Chamber of Commerce, and their target … is us Elves."
