Unbeknownst to Ji Chen, who had already attracted attention, as he surveyed the battlefield, he suddenly noticed a dozen or so bizarre flying creatures with protruding growths on their heads hovering not far away. They leisurely drifted around the edge of the battlefield, in stark contrast to the other frenzied attacking flying creatures.

Without thinking, Ji Chen waved his right hand, and dozens of water arrows shot out from behind him, swiftly piercing through the battlefield, accurately killing them all.

Far away at the transit station, the demon commanders and lords were laughing heartily. When they saw a flash of azure light on the projection screen, followed by a sudden blackout, their faces immediately turned dark.

“d.a.m.n human lord, he actually dared to kill their scouting beasts that were peeking at the battlefield. He’s really asking for it!

Let’s see how he’ll endure the pain of the transformation when we catch him later!”

They cursed inwardly.

Balzarna’s face showed a hint of displeasure as he coldly snorted, “Send out another batch of scouting beasts. I want to see how Number 17 captures this human lord.”

“Yes!”

Meanwhile, in the Elven Empire, far on the Northern Continent, there stood a towering sky-reaching ancient tree in the core area of the capital.

This sacred tree had existed since tens of thousands of years ago, serving as the spiritual anchor for countless elves. It was also one of the symbols of the Elven Empire.

As long as this sacred tree remained standing, it symbolized the eternal prosperity and survival of the Elven race.

At the very top of this giant tree was a s.p.a.cious open-air altar. It seemed like some kind of ritual had just taken place there, as the luminous patterns on the altar’s walls and ceiling gradually dimmed. The Elven High Priestess, dressed in loose priestly attire but unable to hide her voluptuous figure, descended gracefully from the altar.

Below the altar, a veiled elf, adorned in magnificent palace attire and wearing a crown, was already waiting. Although her face couldn’t be completely seen, her majestic golden eyes, revealed from under the veil, were enough to determine that she was a stunningly beautiful being, capable of making the heavens and earth pale in comparison.

“Still no response from the G.o.ddess?”

The elf, holding a staff, shook his head gently. “Just like last time, we haven’t received any response from the G.o.ddess or the other orderly deities. It’s as if our pleas have fallen into the void.”

“Is it impossible to send the message, or could there be another reason?”

“It’s hard to say, perhaps the G.o.ddess is unwilling to send a divine message, or simply chooses to ignore us,” the Elven High Priestess replied after a brief pause. “There’s also another possibility.”

“What could it be? Has the G.o.ddess been preoccupied with something, unable to attend to our requests?”

The palace-attired elf responded, “The power of the Great G.o.ddess is immeasurable, and her influence spreads across every inch of land. She is, without a doubt, the mightiest among all the orderly deities. It’s hard to fathom what could possibly trouble or restrain her.”

“I cannot say for sure.”

The Elven High Priestess spoke with a solemn tone, “However, the omens of the world’s energy tell me that extreme evil and foreboding are on the verge of emerging. Yet, I cannot investigate further; it seems that something is obstructing my vision.”

The palace-attired elf contemplated for a moment and then spoke, “Regardless, if the G.o.ddess hasn’t sent a divine message, we must rely on ourselves. I will expedite our control over the northern continent’s territories, bringing more resources under our control to prepare for what may come.”

The Elven High Priestess nodded and then suddenly said, “Your performance during the birthday celebration ceremony not only impressed the Empire but also saved us decades of effort in further controlling the va.s.sal provinces. Your ingenious methods have earned praise from the usually contrary-minded senators and elders.”

The palace-attired elf, on the other hand, let out a disdainful snort. “Those thoughts were already present among those deviants. I simply seized the opportunity. As for the senators and elders, they only showered me with praise after reaping the benefits that satisfied them.”

The Elven Empire was not entirely united internally; it had fragmented into numerous factions based on different interests. Deceit, cunning, and intrigue were prevalent, far exceeding the expectations of outsiders.

The Elven High Priestess couldn’t help but smile, seemingly recalling something. “Oh, by the way, where did you get those materials for the clothing you gave me last time? Wearing them feels as soft and comfortable as a milk bath, almost like being naked. It’s truly remarkable! Do you have more? I’d like to make another priestly robe!”

The conversation s.h.i.+fted away from official matters, and the two elves became more relaxed.

Hearing this, the palace-attired elf rolled her eyes with a touch of irritation. “The material you’re talking about is called ‘Merfabric,’ and it was presented by the Amba.s.sador to the Maple Princ.i.p.ality. There were only two pieces given, and I already gave you one. Hmm… It seems to be a specialty of some Glory Lord’s domain.”

“Merfabric? I remember now. This material has been circulating quite widely among the senators and n.o.bles lately. It’s likely being sold by that Glory Lord!” The Elven High Priestess exclaimed and instigated further, “Since that’s the case, why not have that Glory Lord sell more of it? You’re quite wealthy, and I’m sure you won’t run out of funds.”

The palace-attired elf pursed her lips and found herself tempted. Deep Sea Merfabric was indeed a rare treasure, and she also wanted to use it to create more clothing.

“This can be arranged. According to the reports from the Amba.s.sador to the Maple Princ.i.p.ality, this Glory Lord seems to have a.s.sisted us significantly in the Maple Princ.i.p.ality. His strength might have already reached a legendary level. It would be a good idea to invite him to Silvermoon City under the pretext of rewarding him..”
