Chapter 808: Chapter 604: Invitation
Thinking of this, Eve turned and looked at Fairy King Fenrir, smiling:
“Fenrir, I’ll leave the follow-up matters to you. In the coming period, there will soon be a second and third battlefield mission.”
“I obey your divine command, great Goddess!”
Fenrir responded excitedly, eager and ready.
Then, players’ massive equipnt sacrifices arrived, and in the Divine Country, equipnt from demons and dwarves began to appear one after another, all newly seized by the players.
After great wars, large-scale sacrifices beca the norm for players.
Seeing this, Fairy King Fenrir took flight, calling on other elental elves to gather up the equipnt.
Gathering, transforming, shelving, all in one go.
Assembly-line production, factory-style manufacturing, then applied with a uniform look, becoming the “uniform” favored by the players.
Nowadays, this has beco the regular task of Fenrir and the other elental elves.
Only when encountering rather special equipnt, like so powerful Divine Artifacts, does Eve step in.
Even though the players’ numbers are growing, her believers are increasing, and the area of influence is expanding… but after getting through the initial startup phase, Eve found herself more leisurely.
Days with helpers at work are indeed relaxed and enjoyable.
At this mont, Eve suddenly felt a sense of awareness, looking towards the Chosen City.
She sensed soone approaching the True God Avatar she left in the Chosen City.
“Alice?”
Eve pondered briefly, then shifted her consciousness and left the Divine Country.
With a change in vision, Eve returned to her avatar, becoming Divine Favored Zero.
She opened her eyes, moving her body slightly.
This was a refined study, an “office” she possessed as Divine Favored Zero within the Central Temple of the Chosen City.
When Eve returned to the Divine Country, she usually left the avatar here.
Very few people knew about this.
Only a handful of elf believers, like Life Saintess Alice·Gale, knew that to seek the elusive Lord Divine Favored Zero, they had to co here to visit.
Of course, apart from Fairy King Fenrir, nobody knew that Divine Favored Zero’s true identity was her.
When soone visited, Eve could quickly sense it through the Divine Soul Mark and decide whether to enter the avatar for a eting.
Even Alice seldom visited her in everyday life.
Because Eve once told the church leadership under Divine Favored Zero’s identity not to disturb her unless for important matters.
After Eve sat down, a steady yet gentle knock ca from the study’s refined wooden door, and Alice’s unique sweet and soft voice transmitted:
“Lord Zero, are you there?”
“Please co in.”
Eve responded.
anwhile, she snapped her fingers, lifting the divine arts restriction on the door.
Wearing a Holy Maiden Dress, Alice pushed the door open and entered.
Upon seeing Eve, she smiled sweetly, gave a slight bow, and said:
“Good afternoon, Lord Zero. May the Goddess be with you!”
Eve also nodded in greeting, saying similarly:
“Good afternoon, Miss Alice. May the Goddess be with you.”
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Alice went straight to the point, respectfully asking:
“Lord Zero, the Harvest Festival is soon approaching, and this year’s celebration promises to be magnificent. Will you be attending?”
Harvest Festival…
Eve’s eyes montarily glazed over.
The Segis World celebrates various festivals.
For example, January 1st commorates a new year with the Joy Festival, in spring the Welco Spring Festival celebrates the revival of all things, even the Magic Tide Day is a special occasion for so magical sentient races, like the Blood Clan, which terms it as the Recovery Festival, and the werewolves call it the Awakening Day, among others.
Every sentient race holds its unique festivals as well, such as each nation’s Celebration Day and the God’s Birthday commorating the Divine Enthronent of the Eternal Lord.
The Elf Clan is no exception.
For those worshiping the World Tree, the overseer of life and nature, each autumn’s Harvest Festival is their grandest celebration.
As its na suggests, the Harvest Festival celebrates the harvest and takes place on September 22nd annually.
Allegedly, during the Dusk Era, after the World Tree had created the first batch of elves, the entire Elf Clan took root in the harsh environnt of the Segis World then gathered to celebrate their first harvest.
Over ti, the Harvest Festival beca a traditional celebration for the Elf Clan, one of their most major festal occasions.
Actually, not just the Elf Clan; influenced by elven civilization, almost all major inford races of Segis World educated by elves partake in the observance of this festival, celebrating their harvest.
This tradition has persisted for millennia.
Since Eve’s arrival in Segis World four years ago.
It stands to reason that the Elf Clan should have celebrated four Harvest Festivals.
However, during Eve’s first year, at that ti the Fla Tribe’s elves hadn’t returned, and the Elf Forest was practically only inhabited by players, missing it.
In the subsequent two years, they were either engaged in warfare or preparing for it, leaving everyone with little heart or energy.
Even if observed, elves only conducted it sporadically, without any organized grandeur.
Yet, this year is different.
Since Eve’s control over the Oros Half-plane, a large number of elf-human hybrids have purified their bloodlines, becoming true elves.
Simultaneously, as ti went on, Eve’s reputation beca more prominent, and more elves returned to the Elf Forest; now the number of elf believers in the Elf Forest had long surpassed that of previous tis, breaking the ten-thousand mark.
As for half-elves, their numbers were even greater.
With the population continually growing, lives gradually settled, and thus… the elves rembered this traditional festival anew.
It signifies not only harvest celebrations but also recognizes the resurgence of the Elf Clan.
After all… four years ago, who would have thought that the Elf Clan on the brink of destruction would reach this day?
With this thought, Eve smiled slightly and nodded:
“I will attend.”
It holds considerable commorative significance, and it can also unite people’s hearts, showcasing divine power on that day while strengthening faith.
Why not?
Alice smiled sweetly, her eyes shining:
“Great! Then…”
“However, I won’t participate in the tedious tasks, I’ll just attend as a guest when the ti cos.”
Eve added, preemptively blocking Alice’s upcoming words.
She had beco quite familiar with this Holy Daughter sister.
Judging by her expression, she might still want Eve to preside over festival affairs with speeches and such.
However, Eve had no interest in that and didn’t want to do it.
Why spoil a good holiday?
Eve found that being a visitor was more enjoyable than a host.
A little divine miracle during the festival suffices.
“Okay.”
Alice sighed regretfully.
Finishing her sentence, she paused before saying:
“That’s the first matter. Besides this, I have two other issues I’d like your advice on.”
“What matters?”
Eve inquired.
Alice adjusted her deanor and earnestly stated:
“Lord Zero, the number of believers is steadily rising, the church’s scope is widening, and with our resurgence, emissaries from various churches have started contacting us.”_
“However, the Life Church still lacks a true leader, and your standpoint remains rather ambiguous…”
Eve’s heart stirred, asking:
“What do you an to say?”
Alice hesitated briefly, saying:
“Lord Zero, have you ever considered becoming the Grand Priest of the Life Church?”
Grand Priest.
This was the term used for religious leaders in the history of the Elf Clan, equivalent to the Pope in the Human World, and the Patriarch in the Dwarf Church.
As of now, Eve’s Divine Favored Zero mask held a nebulous status, without having the official title of Grand Priest, but with certain practical semblance.
Eve didn’t imdiately answer this question; instead, she asked:
“And the third matter?”
Alice paused, then said:
“The third issue… with our people multiplying, growing stronger, so elders and devoted believers frequently approach , inquiring when we might rebuild the kingdom.”_
