"Your Holiness Eve, the above is all I know."
After the God of Dwarfs and Smiths finished speaking, he bowed to Eve apologetically.
Although he did not explain why he bowed, Eve could roughly understand what he meant.
This was Dolf expressing his guilt towards the elves.
After all, in terms of character setting, Eve was not only the "successor" of the World Tree's priesthood, but also the "avenger" of the elves.
The gods had once betrayed the World Tree.
Even if Dolf was not a participant, if he wanted to be on good terms with Eve, he must explain what happened back then clearly.
This was a way of expressing his stance.
At least, this was the case from Dolf's perspective.
And regarding this matter, Eve had nothing to say or comment on.
True gods were not saints, and the predecessor did not establish his own god system. Naturally, it was impossible for him to expect other true gods to work for him.
As for Dolf's choice, Eve had nothing to criticize.
Even if she put herself in his shoes, she did not think that she could have done better.
A true god with weak Divine Power who could not even take care of himself, participating in the battle of great Divine Powers was courting death.
However, Dolf's words made Eve completely certain of another point. That was, other than the Human God System and the War God System, most of the other true gods and even ancient gods should be like Dolf.
They were kind to the World Tree and had no intention of being enemies. They could even stand on the World Tree's side in the Thousand Year War of the Gods.
But whether it was for self-protection or for some other reason, they did not stand up in the end.
Perhaps they were a strong force when they gathered together, but in the case of no one taking the lead, they were a pile of loose sand.
In fact, if his predecessor had paid more attention to the affairs of the other True Gods, or even had greater control over the Pantheon Temple, he might have been able to command the other True Gods to help him when he was besieged by the humans and the War God System.
However, it was a pity that his predecessor was too kind and too arrogant.
He did not even bother to establish his own god system.
However, it was probably because his predecessor was too kind that he didn't think that there would be a True God who wanted to deal with him.
Thinking of this, Eve couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
But at the same time, he also had more confidence in the current situation and his future foothold.
The great teacher once told us that we should make as many of our men as possible and as few of our enemies as possible.
Now that he knew that not all the gods were his enemies, and that a considerable number of them could be his targets, he had to plan carefully …
At the very least, he couldn't follow in his predecessor's footsteps.
This also reaffirmed Eve's plan of using the battlefield quests to gather strength from the players while "farming" True God reputation to make friends.
Of course, combined with the information from Dolft and Ulinos, they could exclude Star Guardian Rigdal.
This ancient True God was strangely neutral. He didn't have any stance and was full of mystery …
Be careful of Rigdal.
Eve felt that the reminder from the Ancestral Gragon was worth paying attention to and trusting.
At the very least, he had to be careful.
However, Eve had more doubts about Dolft's answer about the Land of Origin.
"Your Holiness Dolft, I already know what happened in the past, and I can understand your choice, but … you mentioned before that the True Gods who entered the Land of Origin went crazy. What did that mean? Did they see something? "
Go crazy …
For mythical beings whose souls had long evolved into divine souls and had powerful wills, Eve couldn't imagine what they saw to go crazy.
Take herself for example, even if she realized that she was just a character in a novel after entering the Land of Origin, or that she was just a plaything in the hands of some mysterious being, or the truth of the world like Bluestar's brain in a vat or the Matrix … Eve felt that at most, her worldview would be shattered, and she was far from going crazy.
Despair?
If she was still a mortal, perhaps she would. But as a True God, Eve felt that her instinct should be how to save herself.
Unless …
"Perhaps I didn't make it clear. It's not that they went crazy because they saw something, but that they were contaminated."
"The Land of Origin also has the power of the Abyss, and it's an even more powerful power of the Abyss."
Dolft replied.
The power of the Abyss …
Eve's expression changed slightly as she recalled Ballot's words.
The secrets of the Universe of Segers are hidden there. It's a place more dangerous than the Abyss and will contaminate your soul …
"The Abyss … What is the Abyss? Where did it come from … "
Eve muttered.
Dolft shook his head.
"No one knows. The Abyss seems to have suddenly appeared in the Universe of Segers. No one knows the exact time. Hmm … Perhaps Her Holiness Ulinos knows. She's the oldest of the existing ancient gods.
"However, through various investigations, I've roughly deduced that the Abyss should have first appeared in the Megalosaurus era and had a major outbreak at the end of the Titan era. It directly led to the decline of the Giants and Titans who were in war at that time. It's also related to the beginning of the Twilight era …
"Ever since the Abyss appeared, it has been growing stronger. It only calmed down a little in the past thousand years, but since four years ago, it seems to have become active again."
After calming down for a thousand years, it became active four years ago?
Hearing this, Eve was slightly stunned, and her heart could not help but skip a beat …
This … Why does it sound like it's related to me, or the World Tree?
It can't be that coincidental, right?
No, it might not be. What if it's related to the World of Segers? After all, the World of Segers is the Plane of Origin. There's an eighty percent chance that it has some strange connection with the Land of Origin …
Eve's thoughts were thousands of thoughts, and the God of Dwarves and Smiths continued to talk about what he knew.
"As for what exactly the Abyss is, some True Gods think that it's an invasion of extraterrestrial forces, and some True Gods think that it's some kind of doomsday reincarnation mechanism of the Universe of Segers. In short … there are different opinions.
"But no matter what, one thing is certain — the Abyss is the common enemy of us True Gods.
"The Abyss pollutes and destroys everything. If we don't stop it from devouring the planes, the entire universe will be in danger. Even if we can't completely eradicate it, we have to consume it regularly to prevent it from growing stronger …"
Eve was silent for a moment before nodding gently.
"I understand."
Seeing Eve's slightly frown, Dolf continued.
"However, Your Holiness Eve, you don't have to worry too much. Although the power of the Abyss is increasing, it's not undefeatable.
"Look, didn't Her Holiness Hella of the Underworld successfully save several planes from falling into the Abyss and integrate them into the Underworld?
"Moreover, as long as it's not inside the Abyss, the demons aren't a match for us True Gods. Our divine power naturally has a powerful destructive and suppressive power against their power!
"Although many True Gods have fallen in the past thousand years, the losses of the Abyss are actually greater, especially in the several Wars of Gods and Demons!"
Seeing Dolf's serious attitude, Eve didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
She knew that he thought she was worried about the Abyss.
It wasn't that she wasn't worried, but more than that, Eve suddenly felt a little guilty. Could the growth of the Abyss be related to the World Tree?
After all … the nodes were too coincidental.
"Your Holiness Eve, do you have any other questions?"
Looking at the silent Life Goddess, Dolf continued to ask.
This time, Eve shook her head.
"No."
"In that case, I'll return to the Heavenly Realm. After the Withering Heart is repaired, I'll contact you again."
Dolf said.
"I'll have to trouble you then."
Eve said with a smile.
…
Dolf, the God of Dwarves and Smithing, exchanged a few more words with Eve before dispersing his divine power avatar and leaving the Pantheon Temple.
After he left, Eve stayed in the Pantheon Temple for a while before returning to her Divine Kingdom.
Returning to the Supreme Temple of the World Tree Divine Kingdom, Eve sat on her throne.
She enjoyed the pastries and fruits prepared by the elemental fairies while checking the harvest of this trip.
"The secret of the Segers Universe might be related to the Abyss. If I can solve the secret of the Abyss, perhaps I'll know everything."
Eve muttered to herself as she took out the Book of Titan that Dolf gave her.
Looking at this half parchment, her heart moved slightly, and she injected her divine power into it.
Following Eve's action, the Book of Titan suddenly bloomed with a bright light, and a vast map of the continent appeared in mid-air.
The continent was surrounded by an endless ocean, and on the continent, there were undulating mountain ranges, lush forests, vast plains, and winding rivers ….
This was the Continent of Segers.
And on the continent, there were light spots one after another.
Without a doubt, those were the Titan ruins that the God of Dwarves and Smithing, Dolf, had mentioned.
These Titan ruins were widely distributed. Some were in the Fertile Plains, some were in the Polar Ice Plains, some were in the Desert of Death, and some were in the Southern Mountain Range …
Eve even saw two light spots in the Elven Forest.
However, most of the light spots had dimmed. According to the usage method that Dolf told her before returning, the dimmed ones meant that the seal had been completely destroyed, which meant that the ruins inside had been hollowed out.
After remembering the coordinates of a few of the bright light spots, Eve put away the Book of Titan and picked up the bottle of golden divine blood.
"The divine blood of the King of Gods, Neo …"
Eve muttered to herself, then gently opened the crystal bottle and took out a drop.
Then, she used the power of [Analysis] on it.
In an instant, Eve felt her soul tremble, and all kinds of magical power of laws appeared in her consciousness. However, these power of laws appeared quickly and disappeared quickly. Eve did not have time to understand them before they completely disappeared.
However, Eve realized that she seemed to have a deeper understanding of the Elven Priesthood.
Eve had almost perfected the power of laws of the Life and Nature Priesthoods. This was partly because she used them often, and partly because of the help of the Scepter of Life and Nature Crown.
However, the Elven Priesthood was still a little lacking.
The Racial Priesthood was a little special. If one wanted to perfect it completely, they had to develop a race to the peak …
Perhaps they did not need to become the ruler of the continent, but at least they had to be perfect in all aspects and become a mature civilization.
Of course, for someone like Eve who directly inherited the Priesthood, the Priesthood itself was already perfect. What Eve needed to do was to completely control it.
The process of control was actually the process of developing and managing the race's civilization.
Either they needed a long time to digest the laws of the Priesthood, or they needed to bring the race back to the peak in a short period of time and do it all over again …
Now, although the Elves had "stood up", as a mature civilization, there were still many areas where they were lacking.
"This is a way for me to quickly master the Elven Priesthood!"
"As long as I completely master the Elven Priesthood, I will be able to obtain all the achievements of the Elves' civilization since their birth, whether it is art and manufacturing, history and culture, or magic and faith …"
"This is also very helpful for the development of the Elven Forest. After all, the knowledge about the Elves in the World Tree's inheritance is not complete, and the Elves themselves have lost a lot of their inheritance in the past thousand years."
Eve thought with satisfaction.
"However, I probably won't be able to finish this bottle of God's Blood. It would be a waste to just use it to exchange for Divine Power. It is equivalent to a large Divine Power Charger."
"Being a Divine Power Charger is a last resort. I shouldn't use it until the last moment."
"I should use it to its fullest potential. Since it can help a true god deepen their understanding of the Priesthood, then … maybe I can rely on it to support a follower god."
"Speaking of which, the Black Dragon's Divinity has been with me for too long. I can't always let it eat dust …"
Eve thought as she looked in the direction of Sandstorm City.
A certain Black Dragon who had rushed back to the base after the celebration and was chowing down on a large cart of barbecued meat suddenly shivered.
"Which bastard is trying to steal Myrtle's treasure now? Don't you think the Favorability points are enough?! "
It mumbled.
"This greedy guy."
Looking at the vision of a certain Black Dragon through the Belief Network, Eve could not help but laugh and shook her head slightly.
The number of players had increased, and their influence had also increased. The Little Black Dragon, on the other hand, did not participate in the battle as much.
The Black Dragon Merril was fattened up by being served with fish and meat every day, and it was getting fatter and fatter.
In addition, it was in the growth stage and often shed dragon scales. This guy used dragon scales to exchange for food with the players, and it was addicted to doing so every day.
After a few years, the Black Dragon's body had grown bigger, but its waist had also become rounder …
Eve looked at Merril with a strange expression.
"Prepare for the next open beta."
She turned off the vision and connected to the Bluestar Network. She began to add new game announcements on the official website of Elven Nation …
