Following the wind's guidance, Sophia entered the Temple of Life.
This was the first time she had entered a temple of a true god other than the Lord of Eternity. It was also the first time she had taken the initiative to enter a temple of a god, so she felt inexplicably nervous.
Unlike the solemn and quiet Church of Eternity, there seemed to be more believers coming and going in the Temple of Life …
Here, there were elven Chosen Ones entering the temple to pray almost every moment. They worshipped and prayed fervently to the pure and holy statue of the goddess with incomparable devotion.
Looking at these sincere elven believers, even Sophia was faintly infected …
This flourishing faith was enough to show the high prestige of the Goddess of Life, and also enough to show the firmness of the elves' faith.
And this made Sophia respect the Goddess of Life even more.
In her opinion, if the believers did not really live a happy life, it would be impossible to create such a grand scene in the temple.
Of course, this was also because the half-elf girl did not know that although the elven Chosen Ones had the title of the Goddess of Life, they were actually not true believers at all. Most of them were just fake believers who coveted the appearance of the Goddess of Life and the Exchange Shop …
The reason why they prayed devoutly in the temple was just to open the Exchange Shop to exchange for items or to participate in the lottery in the prize pool.
In a sense, the relationship between the Goddess of Life and the players was a little like "since it's free, I'll believe in her more or less".
But even this "belief" was more of a "love" than a "belief" that was a dogma of life.
The moment the girl entered the temple, she also became the focus of the players' eyes.
For a moment, many players cast curious glances at her.
Looking at the elven Chosen Ones who were curiously sizing her up, a hint of hesitation appeared on Sophia's face.
And just as she was hesitating whether she should ask someone who was the priestess, a cheerful female voice sounded from the side.
"You must be Sophia?"
Sophia's heart skipped a beat. She looked at the source of the voice and saw an elven girl wearing a priestess robe.
She had blonde hair and blue eyes. Her exquisite beauty was definitely one of the most outstanding even among the elves.
Beside the elven girl stood a male elven priest. On his shoulder sat a cute 'little elf' who was no more than thirty centimeters tall. She had a pair of butterfly-like wings on her back. She was looking at Sophia curiously with her big, pure eyes while happily munching on some unknown nuts.
What kind of cute creature is this?
Sophia's attention was immediately drawn to it.
Looking at her surprised gaze, the elf girl who greeted her smiled.
She performed an elven etiquette and said enthusiastically, "Thank you.
"Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Roland, one of the Silver Priests of the Church of Life's Grayhaven Branch."
After saying that, he pointed to the male elf beside him.
"This is Natsume, the future Head Priest of Grayhaven Branch Hall. On his shoulder is his partner, Elemental Fairy Dingdang."
Sophia perked up at his words.
With a solemn expression, she bowed to the two of them in a noble manner and said seriously:
"I am Sophia. I am looking for you … to listen to the teachings of Her Holiness the Goddess of Life …"
Roland and Natsume looked at each other and smiled.
"Of course, we have been waiting here for a long time."
She said happily.
After saying that, she touched Natsume's shoulder. A light flashed in Natsume's hand, and a thick stack of books appeared. At the top was the 'Holy Bible of Life'. The big golden words on the cover flickered with a faint light. Below it, one could vaguely see the words' Limitations of Feudalism ',' Religion and Freedom ',' The Awakening of the People ', and other words …
"This is the learning material that we have specially prepared for you, Miss Sophia. I believe that after reading this, you will have a clearer understanding of your future path …"
A smiling expression appeared on his face.
…
Through the game network, Eve saw that Sophia had met with Natsume and Natsume, and received the learning (brainwashing) materials from them that she had specially issued a task for the players to sort out. Satisfied, Eve dispersed her character and returned to the Kingdom of God.
Roland could be considered an outstanding priest among the players.
Compared to Demacia, who spread his teachings like a virus, the believers she fooled would generally have deeper beliefs.
It would be perfect for her to teach Sophia.
"I hope … I won't be disappointed."
After returning to her God's Throne, Eve said to herself expectantly.
He still had some expectations for Sophia.
If she could cultivate a devout believer and shake the foundation of the Eternal Church's faith, or even bring more believers to herself, that would be great.
Although the Elf Forest was not as good as she said when she pretended to be a character, Eve believed that her church was still much stronger than the Eternal Church's sphere of influence.
Of course, the equality and pursuit that she talked about with the girl just now were just words.
After all … there was no such thing as equality in the supernatural world where the gods existed!
At most, it was just relative fairness between believers.
And it was equality and fairness that the gods "gave out" …
It could not be helped. This was the way the world was.
But at the same time, Eve was not speaking without thinking.
Although she was also harvesting leeks from believers, she had the power of "Absorb", and as an ancient god, she was obviously more tolerant of believers than other true gods of other faiths …
Although she could not give true equality and fairness, at least … in this world where people competed with each other, Eve felt that she could still do better than other true gods of other faiths.
Not to mention that there were the players, who took pleasure in being coolies, helping to bear part of the burden.
On top of that, with some theories from Bluestar, when the human society in the world of Segers had obviously developed to the limit of feudalism and could not break through due to the shackles of supernatural power, it was still possible to form a set of theoretical information that could disintegrate the foundation of the human kingdom's rule.
The rule of the human kingdom was in an album with the Eternal Church.
Deconstructing the current rule of human society would also greatly impact the entire Eternal Church. And the impact on the Eternal Church would shake the foundation of the Eternal Lord's faith, which would directly affect the future battle between Eve and him …
And this was Eve's real purpose!
Of course, Eve had not studied the various theories from Bluestar in depth. She was a university student who had just graduated for a few years in her previous life, and she was the kind who was often addicted to virtual games. She did not know any professional theories …
So, when she was fooling Sophia, she would at most say some ambiguous words.
But there were always strong people among the players.
Professional matters should be left to the professionals.
Eve only needed to wait for the flowers to bloom.
After handing Sophia over to Feng Wu and Xiamu, Eve did not care about her for the time being.
And the half-elf girl also lived in the Temple of Life in Grayhaven. She learned the teachings of the Church of Life from Feng Wu and all kinds of strange theoretical knowledge …
Unknowingly, almost a month had passed just like that.
During this month, the Elven Forest had once again undergone a significant change … …
More and more second beta players were promoted to the maximum level of Black Iron. The fastest person had already obtained the quota for Silver Profession Change and became a Silver boss.
All the players who were summoned, a total of 560,000 people, had already become maximum level Black Iron players.
The number of Silver players had also exploded. From more than 4,000 people, it had doubled to more than 9,000 people. It was only a step away from 10,000 people.
Of course, the price was also huge.
The growth of Eve's Divine Power had greatly slowed down. Most of it was used to support the players and maintain the operation of the game.
But even so, with the war missions, with the players killing in various dungeons, and with more and more believers providing the power of faith, Eve's Divine Power had reached more than 22,000 points.
She was only 7,000 points away from becoming a great Divine Power.
Another interesting thing was that after the players created havoc in the Morning Star City, the summoning statues that Eve had secretly released in the black market became completely popular. Recently, Eve had received more and more elves …
Most of them were from the forces of the human world, but there were also many from other intelligent races. The purpose of the summoning was all the same — to be a fighter.
Regarding this, Eve naturally accepted it with a smile.
Anyway, except for Sophia, who had ulterior motives, the summoners would pay the price for the other elves to summon. It would be a waste if she did not accept the summons. She could still kill people to gain "experience" and train her troops at the same time …
If she was lucky enough to meet an evil god, it would be an appetizer for Eve.
Therefore, all the summoning of elves was treated as a battlefield mission by Eve.
At the same time, it brought the players a rich gaming experience, and at the same time, it also brought the overall strength of the players to a new height.
Eve believed that if the players were to turn out in full force, the damage they could cause would be absolutely terrifying.
Of course, considering that the mana density in the world of Segers was getting faster and faster, considering the rich high-end combat power of the other races, and considering that the whole continent's supernatural power was growing rapidly, and Eve deliberately kept a low profile … the changes in the Elven Forest were not particularly noticeable.
While the overall strength of the players continued to increase, their exploration of the continent of Segers was getting deeper and deeper …
The Titan ruins near Milovia and the Titan ruins in the Death Desert had been explored to the deepest parts. Although they did not find anything that could make Eve's eyes light up, there were still many substandard artifacts that could satisfy the players' needs.
It was worth mentioning that the players found some elven items in the Titan ruins near the coastal city of Milovia. Most of them had been abandoned for hundreds of thousands of years, and there were no traces of battle. It was as if they were deliberately left behind …
Eve paid a little more attention to this matter, and waited for the players to investigate further.
Moreover, more than 70% of the entire Elven Forest had been mapped by the players, and the only place left unmapped was the mountainous north …
There were already max leveled players who formed their own parties and began to search for the remaining two large elven cities in the north — Crystal City and Icebound Valley.
The players' footsteps were all over the areas that Eve had granted access to …
There were even many who formed their own 'mercenary groups' and joined the war between the Empire and the Borderlands in Maple Leaf Territory.
Of course, there were not many who did so, because it was troublesome to run to the resurrection point. Only the players who loved adventuring as mercenaries would do so.
Somehow, they managed to make a name for themselves as elven mercenaries from another angle, and collected a lot of information about Maple Leaf Territory. It was an unexpected gain.
However, the development of the rebellion in the Holy Mania Empire's Maple Leaf Territory was somewhat beyond Eve's expectations.
Eve had thought that with the support of the Church of Eternity and the support of a large population, the Empire's punitive army would at least have the upper hand in the battle against the rebel army of the border counties, even if it wasn't an overwhelming victory.
However, half a month ago, when the Empire's crusade army fought with the rebel army for the first time, they were almost defeated.
After three days of fighting, the entire army was routed, and more than 20% of the 80,000 troops were lost.
Regarding this, there was an uproar within the human empire. Even the players who often did business with human caravans had heard about it.
Rumor had it that the Borderlands used an evil behemoth similar to a Behemoth in the war, which was suspected to have the bloodline of the Titans, to defeat the Empire's army.
Not only that, after the victory in the war, the Borderlands announced the expulsion of the Eternal Church in the territory in a high-profile manner, which was a complete falling-out with the church …
This was quite serious …
The Eternal Church had a transcendent status in the human world.
The Borderlands' actions could be said to have completely confirmed one thing.
That was, he really colluded with other mythical forces.
Only mythical forces could fight mythical forces … Only with the support of mythical forces could a lord have the confidence to fight against the original faith …
Coupled with the various rumors from the Maple Leaf Territory, as well as the various details of the first battle between the two sides, all of them pointed to the mysterious existence behind the Borderlands as a revived evil god.
Moreover, it was very likely that it was an evil god with the bloodline of the Titans, or even … it could be said that it was a fallen Titan!
Associating it with the various secrets that the God of Dwarves and Smiths, Dolft, had told her, coupled with the mysterious ruins of the Titans in the Maple Leaf Territory, Eve was very suspicious that the one behind the Borderlands was the surviving fallen Titan.
Of course, this was only Eve's speculation. The war in the Maple Leaf Territory would not end in a short time, and the existence behind the Borderlands would gradually surface with the progress of the war sooner or later.
Eve did not intend to get involved at this time. After all … the fisherman would only benefit after the snipe and the clam fought. And the half-elf girl, Sophia, whom she had high hopes for, had not yet finished "learning."
At this time, it was better to watch the war for the time being.
Just as Eve sat peacefully and watched the turbulent situation on the continent, a strong throbbing suddenly came from the canopy of the World Tree projection in the center of the God's Kingdom.
Eve's heart moved, and she looked at the center of the God's Kingdom.
The three bone dragons who had taken refuge with her were about to "break out of their shells."
