Now that Eve had ascended the stage of the Segers as the World Tree, it meant that the Oak Guardians, who were the previous divine emissaries, could do as they pleased.
With the passage of time, the number of these big guys was no longer just a mere hundred or so at the beginning.
Over the past few years, every time Eve's strength improved and the mana in the Elven Forest changed, a batch of trees would evolve.
At this moment, there were more than five hundred Oak Guardians in Eve's Divine Kingdom.
And this was under the circumstances that Eve had not deliberately nurtured them.
In fact, with the Players who were cheaper and had a strong desire for battle, the Oak Guardians no longer needed to be the main force of the Nature Army.
However, the Oak Guardians had peaceful personalities, boundless strength, and vigorous vitality. At the same time, they were also fervent believers, which was why even though they did not need to be the main force of the army, they were still useful in many other aspects.
For example, they could often provide labor for the construction of cities. Moreover, they were loyal and reliable, and could also become the city's loyal guardians.
Moreover, as natural-born druids, they could also participate in the production of the Elven Forest, as well as the cultivation of crops and species improvement … they could be said to be all-rounders.
Therefore, when the Oak Guardians left their Divine Kingdom and descended to the Elven Forest, they were quickly wooed and fawned over by the Player Guilds. Soon, they fell into the Players' pirate ship with baffled expressions.
From this day onwards, the silhouettes of the Elven Forest's city construction and agricultural production would be seen everywhere.
Of course, that was a story for another day.
As Eve no longer concealed her identity, news of the World Tree's revival spread throughout the entire Plane of Segers, and even the entire universe.
In just a few days, Eve was surprised to find that the number of her believers had soared once again …
But this time, there were more types of believers.
Although a considerable portion of them were still elves and half-elves, there were also many believers from other races such as humans, dwarves, goblins, and even vampires …
As the ruler of the Silver Era, even if the previous World Tree did not deliberately strengthen her faith, the legacy she left behind was still considerable.
Even after a thousand years, when Eve once again stepped onto the stage of history as the World Tree, she still enjoyed the legacy of her predecessor.
Of course, Eve, who already knew about the situation of the Eternal Overlords, knew very well that things like faith were always risky, so they could not rely too much on it.
In Eve's opinion, this might have something to do with faith.
When there were enough believers, the collective consciousness of all living beings would accumulate the will of too many believers. For believers who often prayed to the True God, confession and confession were often the main content of their prayers.
In other words, these thoughts were often negative. When the accumulation reached a large enough amount, it was likely to exceed the limits of a true god's tolerance.
And this was also "pollution" in the usual sense.
The Lord of Eternity had hundreds of millions of followers, or even more. From this perspective, it was inevitable that he would be affected.
Fortunately, Eve had the key to the [New World] universe, which was the green ball of light that gave her the [Engulf] ability.
With this key, Eve could use the [Engulf] ability to convert the power of faith into pure divine power that would not be affected by the will of faith at the same time.
In addition, Eve was an ancient god, and faith was not her foundation, so her resistance to the assimilation of will was stronger.
Therefore, Eve was quite welcoming of these new believers.
The number of believers had increased, and the quality of faith had increased greatly.
Especially in the Elven Forest, the quality of elven believers had always been very high. Not only that, but compared to other races, especially humans, they were purer.
Although Eve already had close to 20 million believers, the number of elves was less than one-twentieth, but the power of faith they provided accounted for about one-third of the total amount of faith.
This amount of faith was enough to support a True God who had just entered the realm of great divine power.
And this ratio of faith made Eve suddenly realize why the Lord of Eternity targeted the elves.
When the number of elven believers was large enough, there would be a qualitative change.
If the Lord of Eternity had really left them alone for thousands of years, perhaps … the elves could really rely on faith to revive their predecessor.
Without distractions, pure, pure … The elves' temperament allowed them to have a very high quality of faith. This even made Eve suspect that perhaps the predecessor had created the elves not just to manage the World of Segers.
Perhaps … he had a deeper consideration.
Half a month after Eve revealed her identity, the war in the underground world was completely over.
The fall of the God of Darkness and Shadows was already a war without any suspense. With the advance of the Dark Dwarves and the Elves' allied army, the Alliance of Dark City-States was completely conquered and became history.
The faith of the underground world was also unified by the Church of Death.
It was worth mentioning that after signing the treaty, Eve also gained the right to preach in the underground world.
Or it could be said that after advancing to become a great divine power, Hella, who had become the incarnation of death and the master of the underworld, was no longer so interested in the power of faith.
Strictly speaking, she was not a true god of faith. She was an existence similar to the ancient gods, but just like Eve, she had ascended to godhood through inheritance.
The war in the underground world was going smoothly. On the other hand, in the southern part of the Holy Mania Empire, with the participation of the demigod Keretz and the large number of player guilds, the demons entrenched in the southern territory began to be defeated …
The lost territory was recovered bit by bit, but the pollution of the abyss had left a scar forever.
And this needed time to purify.
If there were no accidents, in another month, the players would be able to break through the stronghold built by the demons, and the demons entrenched in the Continent of Segers would be completely wiped out.
As for the Nirvana Wilderness outside the World of Segers, which had become one of the players' training grounds, most of the demons on it had been cleared out.
Perhaps soon, Eve could intervene and fish the entire plane out of the abyss.
In this regard, Eve was looking forward to it.
Although she had obtained a lot of knowledge about fishing planes out of the abyss through inheritance, she had not done it yet.
Before the Nirvana Wilderness sank into the abyss, it should have been a rather good main material plane, and it still had a certain amount of potential.
If the way to become powerful was as Eve had guessed, to first integrate the World of Segers as a base plane, and then integrate other planes one after another, then the Nirvana Wilderness would be a good choice …
In short, after Eve revealed her identity, her forces once again welcomed a new rapid development. The power comparison between the different forces in the World of Segers was changing at an astonishing speed.
At the same time, Eve was busy again.
Because she had ushered in a new wave of mythical visitors.
Most of them were independent ancient gods and true gods of faith.
Even the Dwarf and God of Forging, Dolft, had come to visit.
Moreover, it was his incarnation that had personally descended, and his words seemed to be more intimate with Eve.
Eve naturally welcomed these visitors warmly.
She did not have any conflict of interest with the other party. At most, her plan to integrate the World of Segers might affect the interests of some mythical beings.
However, as a great divine power, as a great divine power who intended to ascend to greatness, these conflicts could be mediated.
The Universe of Segers was no longer the Universe of Segers from a thousand years ago, and the belief and reliance of the mythical beings on the Segers plane had long changed.
In this era, which true god did not have one or two planes or half-planes as their back garden of faith?
And if there was really any resistance, Eve could only resist.
However, for a great divine power, presumably, other than the gods of faith, no one would dare to resist …
Not to mention, when Eve's secret integration of the origin process ended, what was done could not be undone.
To be honest, this kind of behavior was a little despicable, but it was Eve's only choice.
To fight against the Eternal Overlords, to compete for the position of a great divine power, it was necessary for Eve to integrate the World of Segers.
And in order to prevent Iteo, who was in charge of the Pantheon, from stopping her, this matter could only be done secretly.
Eve could only say sorry to those mythical beings who were affected.
At most, she could make up for it later.
And even if she integrated the World of Segers, according to Eve's calculations, it was equivalent to "swallowing" the Segers plane and making it a part of her.
Other mythical beings, as long as they received Eve's permission, could still enter and leave, live, and even preach.
Of course, at that time, they would definitely have to depend on Eve's mood.
Eve continued to integrate the origin of the World of Segers in secret while receiving the mythical beings who came to visit her one after another.
At the same time, she did not relax her surveillance of the human kingdoms.
The Eternal Church was restless and constantly making small moves. War was probably not far away.
But Eve did not intend to be the one who started the war.
Time was on her side. With the recovery of magic power, more and more problems were exposed in the human kingdoms, and social contradictions were becoming more and more acute.
On the contrary, the longer it dragged on, the stronger Eve's forces and influence would become. The players would grow stronger like a rolling snowball, and it would be easier to unify the continent of Segers …
This was the general trend.
This trend had already begun from the moment Eve summoned the players and preached her faith.
Of course, in this process, Eve did not forget to add fuel to the fire in the human kingdoms …
…
Maple Moon Free Territory, capital of Zeloran.
In front of the Church of Life, where believers were coming and going day by day, a figure wearing a chest badge that looked like the Scepter of Life, holding the Canon of Life, and wearing a plain white robe slowly walked out of the church.
It was none other than Old John, who had accepted Demacia's suggestion and came to Maple Moon Free Territory from Lyck City.
After so many days, he had accepted the faith of the Church of Life and transformed into a true believer of Life.
And if someone used the Eye of Faith to check his faith, they would be even more surprised to find that he had grown from a non-believer to a fanatic!
That rich light of faith would make even elves feel respect when they saw it.
Only after experiencing misfortune would one know that happiness did not come easily.
Only after seeing the fall of the human kingdoms and the decay of the Eternal Church would one realize how bright and full of vitality the Church of Life was …
"Old John, have you really decided? Don't you plan to stay in Zeloran? I heard that you got the token of the Amway Chamber of Commerce and now you've awakened the NPC system. If you enter the chamber of commerce, you can become a senior deacon! "
"Do you know what a senior deacon is? In the Amway Chamber of Commerce, even if you don't do anything, as long as you give missions to the Chosen Ones, you can earn fifty gold pounds a month! "
"Damn it, that's fifty gold pounds! I can't even get that much in a year! "
In front of Old John, the guard Jason said excitedly.
However, after hearing his old friend's words, Old John shook his head and said fervently, "No need.
I've already made up my mind to return to the Empire and spread the faith of Her Holiness the Goddess … "
"Are you crazy?! It's a mess over there now! You're not a professional! "
Jason shook his head.
"But … someone has to do these things."
Old John said with a solemn expression.
There was a hint of holiness in his expression.
"The civilians of the Empire are still struggling in the abyss of suffering. There's no future, no hope. They need someone to bring them hope …
"I've seen too much misfortune. The people need to be awakened, the people need new faith, and I … am willing to be the torch that lights up hope."
After hearing Old John's words, Jason opened his mouth and was speechless for a moment.
Looking at his old friend who seemed to have changed into a different person, his gaze was very complicated.
"John … you've changed."
"Of course, I now understand what you said back then. The Church of Life is indeed the hope of the future. The development of the Maple Moon Free Territory has proven everything."
Old John said solemnly.
At this moment, a gentle voice came from behind him.
"Are you ready, Sir John?" "Yes, Sir John."
It was none other than one of the top players who had become a chief priest — Caesar.
At the same time, he also happened to be doing a mission in Zeloran. He taught Old John the faith of the Goddess and was regarded as a mentor by the other party.
"Of course, Sir Caesar, I've made up my mind to dedicate the rest of my life to Her Holiness the Great Goddess and to the Church of Life."
Old John bowed respectfully to him.
Caesar smiled slightly. With a flash of light in his hand, a set of Life Priest robes appeared.
"May the Goddess bless you, and may life and nature be with you! Sir John, you are now one of us. "
Seeing the priest robes, Old John's expression instantly became excited.
He stretched out his hands, received it devoutly, and said excitedly,
"Thank you for your trust! Sir Caesar, I swear here that I will spread the faith of Her Holiness to every corner of the Empire! "
As soon as his voice fell, a golden light bloomed on his body, and a sacred and vast aura slowly descended.
That was the Goddess' divine blessing.
