Chapter 513: Chapter 472: An Unforeseen Path (Part 2)
“Not only that… but there’s also a chance to gain qualifications to ascend to the higher realms?”
Taylor had a bit of understanding about the Divine Race.
They possessed beautiful appearances, strong physiques, and enviable longevity.
However, now the goddess’s oracle actually said they also had a chance to beco part of the Divine Race?
Moreover, they could even gain access to the birthplace of the Divine Race and the goddess, a world from legend that was said to be even more expansive and higher than this one?
When Taylor first heard the goddess’s oracle spreading through the church, he was stunned.
But soon enough, he heard more secrets from other players:
“Don’t be surprised, actually… there’s already elven blood within you, which is what you refer to as the Divine Race.”
“The goddess’s oracle is essentially asking everyone to purify their bloodline and rediscover their origin.”
Bloodline?
*Could it be that I also have the bloodline of the Divine Race?*
*Taylor was dumbfounded.*
However, after this revelation, he gradually began to look forward to it…
In the half-plane, no one did not respect and aspire to the Divine Race.
To many, the Divine Race represented the most perfect life form in the world.
For Taylor, it was the sa.
Upon learning that he too had the bloodline of the Divine Race within him, a natural impulse arose within him.
To strive to earn the goddess’s approval, thereby qualifying to purify his bloodline!
“If your faith is devout enough, you can go to the Central Temple to pray to the goddess, and if you gain her approval, you will be blessed and able to purify your bloodline.”
“However, if you strengthen yourself in the half-plane, you will only beco a half-elf. To be like us, you need to go to Segis Plane’s Central Temple to be baptized by the goddess and gain the right to live in the Elf Forest.”
Explained the elf serving as the temple priest at Segis City.
Segis Plane?
*That should be the na of the higher realm, right? In legend, the very na of Segis City was ant to commorate the holand of the Creator God…*
Elf Forest?
*This world also had an Elf Forest, but now it seed that might too be a morial to the Divine Race’s holand from a thousand years ago?*
*Taylor mused.*
He was also filled with interest in the Segis Plane.
To him, the place where the Divine Race lived naturally exuded a sacred aura, like a holy land.
Moreover, the rumors had it that Eve Goddess also resided in this higher realm, intensifying his urge to make a pilgrimage to the higher realm…
However, ordinary people had no right to ascend to the higher realms.
Only by purifying their blood and becoming part of the Divine Race, becoming an elf!
*Reflecting on this, Taylor took a deep breath.*
He made up his mind.
He was determined to try to earn the goddess’s blessing and purify his bloodline!
And then, he would ascend to the higher realms, to worship the holy land, to worship the goddess!
After thinking it through, Taylor decided to present his thoughts to his spiritual guide.
His guide was a well-regarded Life Priest among the residents of the half-plane, a mber of the Divine Race nad Dongdong.
“For you, it’s entirely possible, you should try praying to the goddess.”
Dongdong used the “Eye of Faith” to assess Taylor’s level of faith, then smiled slightly.
*Could I really?*
*Taylor was filled with excitent.*
He had faith in Dongdong’s words.
According to rumors, these Divine Race beings had the ability to see through the faith of believers.
“Strive on, if your faith is devout enough, once you reach the higher realms and qualify as a Life Priest, you can even gain more wonderful powers.”
Dongdong continued.
*More wonderful powers?*
*Taylor was even more curious and expectant.*
“Thank you! Master Dongdong.”
He bowed towards Dongdong and traced a Life Scepter symbol on his chest.
Taylor’s family had long since departed from this world.
In this world, he did not have many attachnts.
Having made his decision, Taylor proceeded directly to the Central Temple of Segis City, intending to pray to the goddess…
Thanks to the restoration efforts of the residents and players, the Segis Temple now bore a transford appearance.
Unlike the once deserted Creation Temple, the Life Temple was now crowded with worshipping believers at all tis.
Filled with apprehension and anticipation, Taylor entered the temple.
Inside the temple, there were many believers and mbers of the Divine Race, all maintaining a calm silence, preserving the temple’s solemn and dignified atmosphere.
As soon as Taylor entered, his eyes fell on the beautiful and sacred statue of the goddess standing at the center of the temple.
She donned a luxurious and dignified white divine dress, with a crown upon her head, silver hair, and purple eyes, holding a splendid scepter in hand.
It was none other than the Life Goddess Eve.
Taylor was no stranger to the goddess’s statue.
With the spreading of the goddess’s faith, similar statues could now be found in every town.
However, compared to other goddess statues Taylor had seen, this one felt more sacred and comforting…
This had its reasons.
Generally speaking, True God’s statues ca in two forms: those crafted by the believers themselves and those personally crafted by the True God.
Most of Eve’s statues were made by the elves, with the core statue in each major city being personally created by her.
Of course, that included the one in Segis City.
Both types of statues could normally function as devices to receive the True God’s faith.
The difference was that the forr needed Divine Power to activate their connection to the faith network, while the latter connected directly to the network from the mont they were created.
However, the statues made by the True God always had so peculiar characteristics.
For Eve, such statues facilitated her exertion of power across realms.
Of course, Taylor was unaware of these details.
He rely felt the statue before him was lifelike, exuding a natural aura of sanctity and majesty, calming his restless heart and naturally inciting feelings of reverence and admiration.
The statue was tall, towering six ters.
In front of the statue, many other believers were praying too.
Among them, Taylor also spotted nurous mbers of the Divine Race.
What puzzled him was how these mbers of the Divine Race conducted their prayers differently from the other believers…
The local believers were devout, exceedingly solemn.
But the Divine Race mbers were as lively as when interacting with residents.
Their expressions varied greatly.
Sotis joyful, sotis sad. Occasionally, they would exclaim excitedly, or even sigh dejectedly…
It was the first ti Taylor had seen mbers of the Divine Race praying before the goddess’s statue.
He couldn’t help but take a few more glances, initially thinking he was mistaken.
*So strange.*
*Really strange.*
*After all, in his understanding, shouldn’t praying be a solemn and sacred affair?*
*Or perhaps… this was the correct way to pray in the Life Church?*
*Yet… didn’t the “Life Scripture” teach believers to pray with sincerity and solemnity?*
*Confusing.*
*Truly confusing.*
*Of course, he couldn’t understand…*
*After all, this was just so players browsing a shop and participating in a lottery.*
Of course, to Taylor, not all of the Divine Race mbers were so unruly.
Many of them, too, appeared solemn and dignified.
Seeing these individuals, Taylor finally felt more at ease.
*At least… solemnity and dignity must be correct.*
*Although he couldn’t fathom why so mbers of the Divine Race were so lively before the goddess’s statue, feeling the sacred atmosphere of the temple, he resolved to maintain a serious deanor.*
Taylor took a deep breath and knelt before the statue.
He adjusted his deanor, traced a standard Life Scepter symbol on his chest, and then prayed with devotion:
“Praise nature, praise life, praise the great elven sovereign—Eve Yggdrasil!”
“Your devout believer Taylor, humbly requests your blessing.”
“I vow to follow you forever, spreading your glory and faith…”
Taylor’s voice brimd with fervor.
As he spoke, the statue suddenly began to emit a glowing radiance.
A brilliant beam of light burst forth from the statue, directly illuminating Taylor.
