The core area of the Elven Forest.
The sun shone brightly in the sky, and the golden sunlight pierced through the clouds, refracting through the alternate space and illuminating the City of Heaven's Chosen.
The entire city was covered in trees and lush greenery. Buildings of different styles were hidden between the gardens and greenery, adding to the natural and lively atmosphere.
Summer.
For the Elven Forest, this was the most lively and lively season.
However, unlike the bustle of the past, the City of Heaven's Chosen today was unprecedentedly peaceful.
There were no pedestrians coming and going on the streets, and all the shops were closed. Only a small number of elves in long gowns, with elegant postures, were busy around the Temple of Life in the city.
At this moment, in the Temple of Life, the Saintess of Life, Alice, dressed in splendid attire, was standing in front of hundreds of elves in priest robes, her face solemn and pious.
The elves in front of her had different hair colors and ages, but they were mainly young. Their expressions were solemn, excited, and fanatical, and each of them held a copy of the Sacred Book of Life, produced by the Amway Trading Firm.
These elves were all newly promoted priests of life, cultivated by Alice, Sammir, and the others from the returning elves.
Their strength was not to be underestimated. Apart from their official priestly identities as professionals, each of them was at least a Dark Iron-ranked Extraordinaire.
However, this time, they would officially start their activities in the Elven Forest, the City of Heaven's Chosen, as priests.
Looking at the elves in front of her, Alice was very gratified.
Not to mention the chosen ones who were favored by His Holiness the True God, unwittingly, the returning elves had also given birth to so many outstanding people …
Witnessing the daily changes in the Elven Forest, witnessing the Church's team growing bit by bit, Alice felt her eyes moisten.
The scenes of the past year flashed before her eyes, and she felt unprecedentedly excited.
Who would have thought that the clansmen who still needed to hide last spring would once again find their place of refuge at this very moment?
Who would have thought that the Elven Forest, which had still been desolate and uninhabited last spring, was now full of life and vitality?
And all of this originated from the recovery of the Mother Goddess, from the descent of the chosen ones, and from the hard work of every returning elf …
Alice looked out of the window of the temple.
Although the City of Heaven's Chosen was cold and cheerless, Alice knew that this was only temporary. Soon … this place would once again be bustling with activity.
Unprecedented prosperity!
She took a deep breath and looked at her clansmen.
Her gaze met the eyes of the elves, and she could see boundless hope and anticipation in their eyes.
At this moment, the seriousness on Alice's face dissipated slightly, and she became even more gentle.
"Is everyone clear? How should I assign daily missions to the chosen ones? "
She said softly.
Although his voice was soft, it was amplified by the Sound Amplification Spell, and spread to every corner of the shrine.
"Understood, Lady Alice."
The elves replied in unison.
"Very good."
Alice nodded in satisfaction.
"This time, the number of chosen ones descending will be unprecedented, no less than 100,000, so … everyone will have to work harder."
"Chief Priest Sammir will be in charge of Fei Lengcui's mission, and the City of Heaven's Chosen's mission will depend on us. Everyone has already activated the mission system and knows what task you are responsible for. You must do your best and not make any mistakes."
"The newly descended chosen ones will definitely need time to adapt, so … no matter what they do, everyone must be more tolerant because they will always grow. One day, they will also become friends with everyone like the previous chosen ones."
As if thinking of something, Alice's face showed a trace of a smile.
Upon hearing her words, many of the elven priests below also revealed faint smiles.
After returning for so long and interacting with the chosen ones for so long, many elves had indeed become friends with some chosen ones.
There were even elves who joined the chosen ones' teams and participated in crusades against shadow monsters and even the magic beasts in the Gloom Mountain Range.
Even the shops opened by the chosen ones in the City of Heaven's Chosen sometimes had elven shop assistants to help manage them.
It could be said that the relationship between elves and chosen ones was no longer the same as before. Besides helping each other, they were as close as comrades and partners …
"From now on, everyone will officially become the followers of His Majesty the True God. I hope everyone will not forget their original intentions and continue to work hard for the future of elves and for His Majesty the True God!"
Looking at the elves below, Alice's expression became serious as she solemnly exhorted them again.
Then, she drew a symbol of the Scepter of Life on her chest.
"May the Goddess be with you and me!"
Upon hearing her words, the Elven Priestesses also shouted fervently, "That's right!
"Everything is for the elves and for His Majesty the True God!"
They also drew a symbol of the Scepter of Life on their chests.
"May the Goddess be with you and me!"
The elves' voices were very loud and slowly echoed in the temple.
Looking at the elves with serious expressions, Alice's gaze became gentler.
"Dong — dong — dong —"
At this moment, a series of melodious bell sounds rang from the bell tower at the highest point of the Temple of Life …
Not only the core temple of the City of Heaven's Chosen and the supreme temple of the World Tree, but also the various side temples of the City of Heaven's Chosen and all the places with bell towers.
Their voices converged and echoed in the sky above the Elven Forest as if they were foretelling something.
Hearing this series of bell sounds, Alice's expression gradually became serious.
"Time's up."
She said softly.
Like a signal, after the bell sounds, the silent City of Heaven's Chosen slowly woke up like a giant waking up …
On the streets, the tightly shut doors opened one after another once again.
The chosen ones, who were either dressed in equipment or still in casual clothes, stretched and greeted each other before walking out of the door.
The entire city became lively again after a moment.
However, all the chosen ones who came online again were not in a hurry to do other things. Instead, they looked at the central square of the City of Heaven's Chosen and the towering World Tree above the City of Heaven's Chosen.
The bell … was still ringing.
This series of bell chimes lasted for a total of 108 times before it slowly stopped.
For the Elves, 108 was a wonderful number because its pronunciation was the same as the word "blessing" in the Elven language. Therefore, whenever there was a major sacrificial event, the bell would ring 108 times.
And the moment the bell stopped ringing, everyone noticed that the towering World Tree … had suddenly blossomed with a brilliant radiance.
Countless beams of light flew out from the crown of the World Tree and sprinkled down like a celestial maiden scattering flowers. Some fell into the central square, and some fell into other places in the City of Heaven's Chosen.
"They're here …"
Looking at the beams of light, Alice's expression was solemn.
The new chosen ones were about to descend.
Moreover, the number would far exceed before.
For the current City of Heaven's Chosen, this was no longer a number that the central square could withstand.
Therefore, this time, the descent was random in the entire city.
The beams of light fell into the city and formed circular formations. Then, in a dazzling light, tall and slender figures were teleported out one after another …
…
Like most players.
Jiang Shang only felt an indescribable sense of weightlessness, and the vision of the character creation interface instantly turned into a vast expanse of whiteness.
When the sense of weightlessness ended, he regained his five senses, and he seemed to feel the solidity of the ground under his feet again.
At this moment, Jiang Shang understood that he should have successfully entered the game.
The first thing he recovered was not his vision, but his hearing.
One after another, shouts rang in his ears, and there was no lack of all kinds of hawking and laughter.
If he didn't hear the occasional game exclusive mixed in, Jiang Shang would really subconsciously think that he had come to a downtown area.
Next, he recovered his sense of smell.
Jiang Shang only felt an unprecedented wave of fresh air blowing in his face, and he subconsciously took a few deep breaths …
At that moment, he felt that his soul seemed to be sublimated.
At this moment, his vision finally recovered.
Jiang Shang finally saw where he was.
This was a street with people coming and going. The architectural style was Gothic, and it was very exotic.
Tall figures were shuttling back and forth on the street.
Some of them were wearing wooden armor or linen robes, and they looked around excitedly, like Granny Liu who had entered the Grand View Garden, touching left and right.
Some were wearing excellent and domineering armor, and some were wearing gorgeous and luxurious robes. They were either looking at the players with a smile, or hurriedly passing through the street …
"Elven Kingdom! This is the Elven Kingdom! "
Jiang Shang's heart was full of excitement.
His gaze stopped at the building hidden in the green, and a trace of amazement flashed in his eyes.
"This is the Gothic district mentioned on the Internet, right? It seems to have been renovated after the expansion of the City of Heaven's Chosen. It's so beautiful! "
The buildings in the City of Heaven's Chosen were of different styles, and almost all of them were common on the Bluestar.
When the City of Heaven's Chosen was still small, the players imitated the style of the Old Summer Palace, fusing different buildings together to create a unique flavor.
At that time, the scenery of the City of Heaven's Chosen was popular on the Internet, and it had the beautiful name of the online game version of the Old Summer Palace.
However, with the expansion of the city, a problem arose.
When the scale of the city was further expanded, there were more and more mixed buildings. The style of imitating the Old Summer Palace could not be maintained, and in the end, it caused the architectural style of the entire city to become chaotic.
And the chaotic style was not only ugly, but also ugly.
However, there were also strong people among the players.
Under the redesign of the big boss players such as Cuckoo Bird, they rezoned the City of Heaven's Chosen.
The old city area that had been built and had a perfect blend of styles was not changed.
But in the newly built city areas, different styles of buildings were classified and divided into different areas.
The Gothic district was one of them, and all the buildings were in a unified Gothic style.
It was said that this was the active place for many third and fourth beta players.
There were many similar districts in the City of Heaven's Chosen. They were all built around the earliest old city area in a radial pattern. It was said that most of the main forces were the construction team of the Mengmeng Committee.
In addition to the Gothic district, there were also the Greek district, the Baroque district, the Japanese district, the Chinese district, and the Japanese district … and so on.
"They are all talents. How much effort did it take to build such a beautiful simulation of the city area! And it only took a year! It is said that it is because of magic, but even if there is magic, they are all big bosses … "
Looking at the exquisite steeple building, Jiang Shang couldn't help but marvel.
His gaze swept across the building, and then he looked at the players.
It was clear at a glance who was an open beta player and who was a closed beta player.
Jiang Shang looked enviously at the fully armed high-end players. They were majestic, had a strong aura, and some were even leading magical beasts.
"Hiss … Is that a unicorn?! So beautiful! Much better looking and noble than in the video! Sure enough, elves are compatible with unicorns! I must get one in the future! "
"Wow! What a big spider! This is a Crypt Spider, right? It is said that it is the most cost-effective magic pet. As long as the NPC is happy, you can get it … Speaking of which, that NPC seems to be a magic woman. "
"Huh? Am I seeing things? That seems to be a dragon? A young dragon? So cute! Big boss! Shiny gold! Is it a golden dragon? Is the one walking with it the master? Optimist? I seem to have seen this ID in the video … But, it already has a dragon, why is the equipment so lousy … "
"Hmm? A silver ID? This is the legendary silver player? The kind that can easily defeat ten black iron players? "
"I'm envious … I'm so envious!"
Jiang Shang looked at the players coming and going, and his eyes lit up.
After looking around, his gaze stopped at the back of the city.
There, there was a towering giant tree that rose to the sky.
The giant tree towered into the clouds, and there was no way to see the crown of the tree. Only clouds could be seen. It was magnificent and breathtaking.
"This is the World Tree, right? Goddess Eve's true god? The object that the players want to protect? "
Jiang Shang looked at it curiously.
"But, I still prefer the goddess's human form."
He thought about the goddess's image when he created the character and couldn't help but giggle.
"To be honest, I feel that the game looks much better than the video and figurines."
Looking at a few of his screenshots, Jiang Shang nodded with satisfaction.
There was a technique to taking screenshots when creating the character. If one knew how to take a screenshot, one could take a picture with the goddess.
Putting away the screenshots, Jiang Shang was eager to try it out and started to move.
However, just as he took a step, he let out a soft cry of surprise.
"Hmm?"
He suddenly felt that this body seemed to be much lighter than his real body.
But at the same time, it had an unparalleled sense of reality.
Jiang Shang's heart skipped a beat, and he jumped up.
With this jump, he actually jumped more than a meter high!
One had to know that this was just a casual jump!
Moreover, not only was he not tired, but he also felt relaxed and carefree …
"Comfortable! As the setting said, elves are born with high agility and are very suitable for sports. "
Jiang Shang exclaimed.
With this jump, he couldn't stop.
Even as he hurried along, Jiang Shang couldn't help but jump up and down.
At this time, he finally understood why the other players he saw in the video didn't take the "normal path".
Back then, he thought that it was fine if it was a 2D game. Everyone was controlling the keyboard and couldn't help but press the space bar.
But why were they still jumping up and down in a virtual online game?!
But now it seemed … it was because walking like this was really new to the elven body in the game!
Not only was it new, but it was also fast!
As Jiang Shang hurried along, he clicked on the friend system to search for an ID. Very quickly, he locked onto someone.
"Ah Kai, are you in? Haha, as expected, you can name any game Ah Kai! "
"Cheh, didn't you also name yourself Jiang Ziya? Why don't you let me call you Ziya? "
"Cough, cough, the game and reality are two different things. This ID is easy to remember and representative. Speaking of which, you're really lucky … You were selected on your first try. "
"Maybe it's because I'm good at games. Why? Are you hoping that I won't be selected? "
"How is that possible? Playing online games alone isn't as comfortable as playing with your buddies!"
"Hmm, identification complete. Single dog's speech …"
"Get lost!"
"Where are you? I'm in a huge square, densely packed with human heads. "
"Hmm … I'm on a street, Gothic Street. Er, you should be in the Central Square. Do you see a monument beside you?"
"Yes, there are many names engraved on it …"
"That's the Central Square! That monument commemorates the First Beta Gamers. The IDs on it are the names of the First Beta Gamers who participated in the City of Heaven's Chosen! Wait for me! I'll go find you immediately! Stay where you are and don't move! "
"Let me say something first. Although elves are pretty, I'm not gay."
"Get lost!"
