The City of Heaven's Chosen, the circular duel arena.
The seats around the arena were filled with players and elves who were watching the fun. The cheers were like a tsunami.
Five silver players with bloodstained equipment stood on the podium and waved excitedly at the audience.
Inside the arena, blood, cracks, and rocks … it was a mess.
The mage players and elves who were responsible for maintaining the arena walked onto the field and chanted spells to repair the damage caused by the players' duel.
At this moment, the role of magic was highlighted.
In a flash of light, it didn't take long for the severely damaged arena to gradually recover and become as good as new.
At the same time, accompanied by two elven staff, Eve, who was wearing the zero avatar, walked onto the field.
For a moment, the entire venue was in an uproar.
"F * ck! It's Big Sister! Did the organizer really invite Big Sister over? Which guild is in charge of this competition? "
"I heard it's Heart of Nature …"
"I see. Then it makes sense. Brother Mu's connections among the NPCs are amazing … He can even invite Big Sister!"
"Big Sister is a purple NPC. I really want to gain her favor …"
"It's difficult. Big Sister comes and goes like a ghost. Except for Saintess Alice, almost no one can contact her."
"Tsk, is it harder than Aurora? That's what it means to be elusive. "
"That's true …"
The players discussed animatedly.
For these animals on the Bluestar, appearance was justice, and the color of the NPC template was truth.
As a Demigod who was as beautiful as Celestial and had an extremely rare gold NPC template, Aurora was naturally sought after by the players after her return.
It was reasonable that her popularity surpassed Eve's avatar in the blink of an eye.
As a gentle elven Demigod, Aurora was naturally very friendly to the players and was happy to communicate with them.
Therefore, she further exploded in popularity a few days after her return.
For a moment, a large number of players flooded into Milovia and began the path of licking her boots.
But she was gentle in both success and failure.
Perhaps even Aurora herself didn't realize how thick-skinned the players were.
Give them a little sunshine and they would shine brightly. Give them a little river and they would flood.
This was the most appropriate way to describe them.
It was the nature of the players to push their luck. Seeing how friendly and approachable Aurora was, more and more people swarmed into Milovia, trying to get close to her …
She looked for him during the day, at night, when she prayed, and when she rested …
When the first person left, the next person came in. Before the last person left, the next person was already waiting outside the door.
In the end, even Aurora, who had always been gentle, could not take it anymore. She simply used the power of a demigod to seal off part of the temple and live in seclusion.
She would only show herself when necessary, becoming an existence that was even more low-key than Zero.
In comparison, although Zero was always elusive, at least she often appeared in the story and always gave out quests to the players.
There was a reason why he could remain as the second most popular NPC after the Goddess.
Of course, Aurora's Chosen had now lost to her.
But just like when the Elemental Fairies had first appeared, it was probably only temporary.
At the end of the day, other than looking good, how much benefit she could bring to the players was also an important criterion to evaluate her popularity.
And in this aspect, the only one who could do better than Zero was probably the incarnation of the World Tree, the Goddess Eve.
As the core character of the game's story, Goddess Eve had an appearance that no NPC could surpass. She was also powerful enough to sweep away everything. She was worthy of being the most popular NPC in Elven Nation.
His name and image on the Blue Planet's network were even more widely spread than the game "Elven Kingdom" for various reasons …
Especially after the release of the open beta slots, it exploded again and reached a new peak.
Although it was not to the point where everyone knew about it, for young people, it was definitely the most classic and popular element in recent years.
"I'm going to protect the Goddess."
"Sorry, I don't have the money to protect the World Tree."
"Praise nature, praise life, praise the great Eve!"
"For the glory of the Goddess and the Elves!"
"Long live the Goddess!"
Similar phrases were commonly seen in chat groups, bullet screen websites, and posts on major forums.
As for the Goddess's emoji packs, GIFs, and other things …
Uh …
Let's not talk about this.
If she continued to think about it, Eve was afraid that she could not help but want to lower Demacia's probability of winning the lottery.
Of course, Eve was not aware of her increasing popularity on Bluestar. She was not too interested in it.
After all, no matter how many people liked her on Bluestar, it was useless if they could not provide her with faith.
Unlike the believers in the Segers world, most people on Bluestar were just following the trend. The better ones were just coveting her appearance and character.
And as a pragmatist, Eve still preferred to deal with believers who could provide her with the power of faith, as well as the little leeks in the game.
This time, she accepted Li Mu's invitation to be the guest presenter for the finals for the same reason.
She was still very optimistic about the arena created by the players.
Although it would inevitably increase the cost of resurrection, the series of chain effects brought about by the arena made the benefits more than the costs.
Not to mention, the wool came from the sheep's back.
The contribution points and resurrection coins paid by the players when participating in the battle and resurrecting still had to be earned through killing monsters and completing tasks.
Collecting her thoughts, Eve focused her attention on the arena.
Looking at the excited winning players in front of her, she smiled faintly.
These highly skilled contestants were all his important combat forces.
She would also secretly remember the winner's ID. In the future, when she further improved the strength of the players, she would give more resources.
For example, when she randomly gave God's favor …
"Congratulations on your victory, brave Chosen One."
Eve picked up the medal from the tray in the hands of the elven staff and personally put it on the winning player.
At that moment, several silver players of the First Legion were so excited that they almost jumped up.
They did not know whether it was because they saw their Big Sister or because they saw the nearly one million contribution points that were instantly transferred to their account.
As for the players in the audience seats, they whistled one after another. Some of them even shouted excitedly or laughed out loud.
Eve knew what was going on. They had most likely placed their bets on the right team, and the winning contribution points had been transferred to their account.
Just look at the dejected expressions on the faces of the players in the crowd.
Some people won, and some people lost.
As for the players of the Nature's Heart guild who were in charge of organizing this competition on the rostrum, they were already grinning from ear to ear.
They had probably made a lot of money.
After putting on the medals for the winners, Eve left the arena surrounded by the players.
Of course, after she silently turned back to look at the players who were following her and lowered their Favorability points for each of them, these newcomers who were the main followers smiled embarrassedly and stopped.
The flexible use of the Favorability System was definitely a great tool to train the players.
Otherwise, she would have been like the First Elf Celestial Serrandier and played the players until they wanted to die.
Thinking of Celestial Serrandier, Eve had a slight headache.
Although that fellow's ability was very strong, in a sense, it could be considered as completely useless.
Arriving at the streets of the City of Heaven's Chosen, Eve let out a light breath and looked at the city that was becoming more and more prosperous with the influx of new players.
There were almost no flying magical beasts in the sky, and only small dots of flying magical beasts could be seen at the edge of the city.
This was because the city had introduced a no-fly rule. Except for approved targets, flying was prohibited in the city's airspace.
This was a policy that was inevitably introduced with the development of the city.
There were more and more players, and there were more and more people who had flying magical beasts. If there were no restrictions, the chaotic players would often cause some accidents.
Midair collisions and magical beast feces falling from the sky were normal situations. Some rookies even directly crashed into the buildings on the ground while riding on their magical beasts. The most ridiculous thing was that they directly crashed into the World Tree …
Now that there were rules, it was much better.
As time passed, even though there were a few main cities of the players, the City of Heaven's Chosen's level of prosperity still reached a new level.
Many buildings in the center of the city were rebuilt, and more magnificent and larger buildings were built. The flagstone roads on the ground were also refurbished, and the roads that were not designed properly when the city was first planned were all expanded …
This was done by the cooperation of several major guilds, and it was still led by the Adorable Committee. The reason was to solve the problem of the City of Heaven's Chosen's increasing congestion.
This was a huge amount of work, but the players' strength was no longer the same as before, and the Mages were proficient in more and more magic. With the help of extraordinary powers, the progress of the entire project was faster than that of the Celestial Empire on Bluestar.
Of course, after the reconstruction, the land price in the city's core area naturally soared.
The entire city's resident population had exceeded 200,000 people, and a small portion of them were Elves and Half-elf believers.
This was normal. As the number of players increased, the division of labor in the Elven Forest became more and more detailed. Many time-consuming or uninteresting jobs in the eyes of the players were taken by the Elves.
For example, carriage drivers, shop assistants, tavern waiters, family servants, and city guards …
Many players hired Elves at home as housekeepers.
On this basis, it was normal for the ratio of Elves and Half-elves in the City of Heaven's Chosen to increase.
Apart from the City of Heaven's Chosen, the population of the seven player main cities had theoretically exceeded 100,000 people. The easternmost Gray Harbor had directly exceeded 150,000 people.
Similarly, a considerable portion of the residents were Elves and Half-elves.
Of course, the players were not always active in the main cities. Most of the time, they were actually wandering in the wilderness. Only at night would the number of people in the main cities rise.
During celebrations or plot missions, the number of people in the main cities would suddenly soar, especially in the City of Heaven's Chosen.
As for Fei Lengcui, Rivendell, Milovia, and Kainoran, the number of residents was also much greater than before.
Rivendell, the smallest city, had more than 50,000 residents. Many of them were Half-orc miners.
Because of the return of the Frost Elves, Milovia, which had caught up, had close to 200,000 people, second only to the City of Heaven's Chosen.
In addition, the number of people in Sandstorm City in the Death Desert had gradually risen to 100,000.
However, the races there were more mixed, but the Life Church had become the mainstream religion.
The entire population of the Elven forces, including players and natives, was close to 5,000,000.
Among them, there were a million players and close to 4,000,000 natives.
Of course, the majority of the natives were still Elven mixed-blood humans from the Orloss Demiplane. There were about 2,700,000 of them. In the past half a year, tens of thousands of them passed the test and became Half-elves.
However, the purification speed would be much slower in the future, because most of the devout and fanatical believers had already left.
The remaining devout believers and fanatics could only continue to develop slowly.
Eve was not in a hurry. The Elven mixed-blood humans reproduced faster than the Elves and Half-elves. Keeping the demiplane would be able to replenish the sparse population of the Elven race.
Excluding the other races in the Death Desert, just looking at the Elven Forest alone, there were about a million natives.
Among them, there were 350,000 Elves and 700,000 Half-elves.
More than half of the Elven population were Frost Elves who had returned. The rest were Orloss's purified Elves, as well as Elves who had returned from various parts of the world.
As for the Half-elves, most of them were purified from the Orloss Demiplane. Only a few of them had returned.
This total of over five million people was all of Eve's forces at the moment!
Perhaps the population was still far too small compared to the billions of humans, but considering the lifespan of the Elves and Half-elves, as well as the proportion of Extraordinaries, this was already a terrifying force.
Not to mention the players who had already reached the goal of 100,000 Silver Elves, after the Frost Elves returned, the overall combat strength of Eve's believers skyrocketed.
Of the 4,000,000 believers, more than 95% of them were Extraordinaries. Among them, more than 300,000 had reached the Silver rank, and more than half of them were Frost Elves.
In addition, perhaps due to the increase in magic power in the Segers world, the originally rare Gold Professions had also increased in numbers. There were now more than 2,000 of them.
If this had happened four years ago, just the Gold Professions alone would have been enough to wipe out the entire Death Desert.
Of course, most of the Gold Professions were still Frost Elves who had returned. Only a few of them had advanced in the Elven Forest.
It could be said that the Frost Elves' return was of great help to Eve.
It was just that their deeds could not be replicated.
It was a tribe of iron that had been forged after thousands of years of constant struggle and tempering in the darkness. After thousands of years of perseverance, generations of Elves had been sacrificed!
As for Eve's Chosen and Saintess, Alice, Ayr, and even those fanatical priests and chief priests in the church, Eve had also generously increased their strength. They were all in the Gold rank.
As for her own avatar, Eve did not leave it behind. Naturally, she had made Zero, the Chosen, become a Legend …
If it weren't for the increase in magic power in the entire world and the exponential increase in the combat strength of all races, Eve's current strength alone was enough to challenge the whole world four years ago without the Gods, Legends, and Demigods taking action.
This did not include the more than 100,000 Elven petitioners in Eve's Divine Kingdom.
It could be said that at this moment, Eve was ready for the War of Gods and Devils.
