Chapter 595: Chapter 508: The Divine Country of the World Tree (Part 2)

As he touched it, Qiduo felt an immense energy rushing at him, his mind buzzing to the point where he knew nothing…

Vaguely, he seemed to see an endless vast forest…

Consciousness quickly returned, and Qiduo was still standing in place.

However, when he came to his senses, he realized that at some point, the entire mine was covered with green grass and flowers, and vines were constantly emerging from the rock walls…

The bright light portal illuminated everything.

Everything around him was magical and beautiful.

Yet, from the half-orc warriors who had returned, Qiduo heard quite a bit of news, and his face changed.

The suddenly appearing vines…

Countless flowers…

*Could this… be the legendary elves’ magic?!*

He just sat down on the ground, scared out of his wits, and then scrambled out of the mine in a panic, shouting all the while,

“Oh no! The elves are invading!”

The sound was tragic.

After months of plundering, the half-orcs in the northern part of the Death Desert had already developed a phobia of elves.

Qiduo fled quickly.

He did not notice at all the speed that shouldn’t belong to him.

And his body seemed to have undergone some kind of evolution from the recent touch…

A dozen minutes later.

A group of fully armed half-orcs, surrounding a half-orc wearing a lavish priest robe with oil paint on his face, entered the mine.

This was the High Priest of the Sandstorm Tribe, possessing the power of Lower Gold.

He looked solemnly at the light portal in front of him, disbelief written all over his face,

“Is this… the Space Gate?!”

He hesitated for a moment and also extended his hand to touch the light portal, and at the moment of contact, he felt as if his vision had turned all white.

The light portal refused his entry.

But vaguely, he seemed to see a magnificent figure…

At the same time, countless prayers faintly echoed.

The prayers sounded like a beautiful language, simply listening to them felt wonderful.

At the same time, these prayers seemed very distant, as if they had traversed infinite time, filled with vicissitudes and sorrow.

However, being a professional of Golden Power, the High Priest’s inspiration far exceeded that of ordinary people.

Upon hearing these prayers, he instantly understood their meaning…

His eyes suddenly widened, full of disbelief, and he couldn’t help but exclaim,

“The… World Tree?!”

…

Pandemonium.

The Sandstorm Tribe was in chaos.

People didn’t know what happened, only to see a large number of half-orc warriors suddenly appear in the mine area, instantly sealing off a place they usually didn’t care about.

Amongst them, the Sandstorm Tribe even deployed their proud Sandstorm Warriors, although few in number, they were all Silver professionals.

Curious half-orc residents, black market merchants, and human mercenaries watched and discussed.

“What happened?”

“Tch, even the Sandstorm Warriors have been deployed?”

“Could they have discovered a new vein?!”

“Impossible… it’s said the veins here have long been exhausted…”

“Hmm?! Isn’t that the High Priest? Even the High Priest is alarmed?”

“What exactly happened…”

People were extremely curious.

However, the Sandstorm Tribe remained tight-lipped about it.

However, an urgent team of half-orcs hurriedly sent word to the Half-Beast Royal Court.

Seeing the Sandstorm Tribe so tense, some experienced underground merchants and bounty hunters had a gleam in their eyes…

The last time the Sandstorm Tribe acted this way, it was when they lost the competition for the Half-Beast King, and their opponent ascended to the throne.

This time, it was evident that something extraordinary had happened in the mine.

Their expressions shifted subtly, and they quietly withdrew…

Sandstorm City was known as the City of Chaos because here, no order might remain unchallenged.

Women, slaves, status, power, even some secrets…

As long as you had enough gold pounds, or as long as you were strong enough, you could get whatever you wished…

So, less than three days later, everything that happened in the mine began to spread among the underground forces of Sandstorm City.

The suddenly appearing light portal, the wondrous energy, and the constantly growing flowers and vines…

The vast forest vaguely behind the light portal and the ethereal prayers…

Even the High Priest’s involuntary exclamation when he touched the light portal.

Nobody knew who leaked all this information.

It was already too late when the Sandstorm Tribe realized it.

As a hub connected to the Underworld, Sandstorm City was already part of the Segis World’s underground intelligence system.

The secret was no longer a secret.

…

Elf Forest, Chosen City.

As the players repaired and expanded it again and again, in the increasingly grand Central Temple…

Eve, who had switched identities to Zero Mask among the Divine Favored, sat in the main seat of the side hall, lightly raising an eyebrow as she looked at the stack of intelligence in her hand,

“Light portal? World Tree?”

With her soft exclamation, a cheerful and excited female voice came from the guest seat opposite,

“That’s right! Lord Ling, this intelligence was gathered by our chamber during transactions with the Dark Dwarves in the Underworld. Although the half-orcs tried hard to cover it up, the commotion was too big, and it eventually spread out.”

“According to some strong figures in the Underworld… this is very likely the Divine Country the Goddess is looking for! The Divine Country might have fallen into the Death Desert!”

The Divine Country of the World Tree…

Eve was non-committal but looked up at the speaker.

With her blonde hair and blue eyes, her beauty so outstanding it eclipsed other players, and the expression on her face showing excitement and fervor.

It was the player Dongdong.

This beta-test player had successfully transitioned during the priest tasks again and again to become a true Silver Priest, the first priest player in the entire server to have silver strength.

Incidentally, she became the most popular player among other players.

This wasn’t because of her superb character facial feature tweaking skills or because she was one of the few Dragon Knights.

But because with the advancement to Silver, she had become the strongest “nurse” among players.

Capable of healing ten people all by herself.

Of course, Dongdong also successfully “blended” into the Life Church due to her Silver Priest status, making friends with many elf priests, including Saintess Alice, leveraging her beauty and devotion (simp) advantage.

She was even called the most devout (simp) Chosen by the elves.

There was no helping it, she had way too many halos.

Although she fought like a tomboy rushing forward with her magic wand, things like compiling the “Life Scripture,” conducting missionary work in the Oros Half-plane, rapidly advancing to Silver Priest, etc….

As far as the priest path alone was concerned, she had become an object of study for many native elf priests…

However, at this moment, Eve’s focus was not on the other’s excited speculations but rather glanced at her somewhat amusedly,

“Chamber?”

Dongdong’s face stiffened, and she cleared her throat twice,

“Uh, it’s our Amway Chamber of Commerce… well… it’s all to help the Goddess!”

Eve:…

Our Chamber.

Great, another one coaxed onto the pirate ship by Dema.

If she remembered correctly, this player girl initially wouldn’t cooperate with that guy to save her life.

But in the end, she still couldn’t resist temptation.

With a slight sigh, Eve refocused on the intelligence in her hands…

As the successor of the World Tree, the original World Tree now indeed, she naturally could see much more from these few words scattered around.

Light portal… forest… prayers…

And the peculiar transformation at the moment of touching the light portal…

Eve browsed while comparing them to her Divine Country.

As a result, her expression grew increasingly serious.

Such descriptions.

Such scenarios.

*It indeed was what mortals should witness upon entering a Divine Country…*

*And those peculiar sights would only appear in the World Tree’s Divine Country—the “Source of Life and Nature.”*

*But vaguely, she always felt that something was off.*
