Thus, to conserve Divine Power, She instructed her followers to gather enough offerings before making a concentrated sacrifice, only engaging in simple communications with believers at most during ordinary times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the goblin prayed, the statue emitted a faint golden light that gently brushed over its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, the old goblin felt as if its aged body had regained some youth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Praise be to the god of winter and hunting!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old goblin expressed slight joy, bowing its head even lower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing its prayer to the Divine, the old goblin stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It adjusted the felt hat on its head, carefully picked up the Skull Wand with a massive Treasure Bead embedded in it from under its body, and lovingly wiped it clean before leaving the ruined temple, satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old goblin’s name was Gululu, an 11-level Black Iron Lower goblin priest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Gululu preferred to call itself the High Priest, because in the goblin tribe dominating the Feilengcui Ruins, it possessed the strongest power; the other three goblin priests were no match for it, submitting to its rule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its strength did not stem from abundant Divine Favor but rather from a fortunate encounter before being recruited by Uller when it obtained a Magic Wand, becoming a rare goblin spellcaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, it also mastered mysterious Undead Magic!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was because of this Undead Magic that it could suppress the other two goblin priests of the same 11-level so thoroughly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*However, it was already too old.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*If things developed normally, it would have at most three years left to live.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Uller’s appearance offered it hope. The magnificent deity promised that if it could collect thirty-three shards of the World Tree’s Divine Blood Crystal by the year’s end, she would grant it a new life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gululu’s luck was not too bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, since the Great War of the Gods a millennium ago, the World Tree’s Divine Blood Crystals lost in the Elf Forest had been nearly forgotten, with Uller only recently discreetly initiating a divine oracle to search for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, for believers who worked hard, gathering some crystals was not exceedingly difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the tribe’s power, in just a few months, it had amassed a total of twenty-six.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“*Thus, strength is the foundation of this world!*”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gululu caressed its Skull Wand, saying to itself in ecstasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking out of the temple, Gululu arrived at the street in the Feilengcui Ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, seeing the vast emptiness of the broken ruins, its aged eyebrows gradually furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“*Why are there so few people?*”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gululu looked around and saw a goblin sleeping soundly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sneered quietly, walked over, and kicked it awake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The goblin woke up angrily, grabbing a stick to retaliate, but after recognizing Gululu, it immediately changed its expression, crouching like a docile chick, muttering “Ah-yah, ah-yah” while kissing Gululu’s toes…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A trace of disdain flashed in Gululu’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked down on these intellectually inferior kin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*In its perspective, although they shared the same appearance, they were entirely different species.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*This group of inept waste couldn’t even speak Common Language!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*If it weren’t for its inability to summon undead capable of touching Divine Blood Crystals with its Undead Magic, crucial to its treasure hunt, it wouldn’t even bother acknowledging this bunch of waste.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the tribe’s strength was indispensable at present to achieve its goals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this in mind, it nudged the goblin on the ground and asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where are the others? Why did so many suddenly disappear?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Gululu’s words, the goblin’s face showed a hint of bewilderment, then realization dawned, and it began to exclaim “Ah-ah-ah” while gesturing something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“*Hmm? You say they saw a human woman passing by outside the ruins? They went to capture her?*”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gululu frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The goblin nodded repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having the confirmation, Gululu’s eyes narrowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“*A human woman?*”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*The closest human kingdom to the Elf Forest was several hundred kilometers away; human caravans only passed through in the summer, and where would that leave room for any human woman?*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*This pack of waste must be longing for females madly!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It flung away the responding goblin, then walked toward the edge of Feilengcui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it moved forward, Gululu’s expression darkened increasingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because it realized the goblin numbers in the ruins dwindled far more than it anticipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“*At least two hundred must have run off…*”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It muttered through gritted teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Gululu advanced, a commotion erupted from the southwest direction of the Feilengcui Ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gululu raised an eyebrow, walking over inconspicuously…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Southwest entrance of Feilengcui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disguised Demacia continued to flaunt as usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, but to attract more elite monsters, he also boldly ventured deeper into the ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“*Come on, you adorable little creatures!*”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the goblins gradually attracted by him, Demacia sneered inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet suddenly, a sense of impending danger arose instinctively within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demacia’s heart tightened, feeling as though a venomous snake had targeted him…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Elf body’s senses were highly acute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demacia almost instinctively turned his head toward a certain direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he identified the source of danger, he felt the scalp-tingling terror envelop him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On a ruined stele within the ruins, a goblin shrouded in a shady mage robe was coldly staring at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was none other than the Goblin High Priest, Gululu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eerie, terrifying aura emanating from him was palpable to Demacia even from several dozen meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“*Damn… such bad luck, definitely triggered a BOSS!*”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing Gululu’s gaze, Demacia cursed inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“*Time to scram…*”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hesitated not for a moment, turning to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“*A human woman, is it…*”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gululu let out a soft chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon first laying eyes on this so-called “woman,” it discerned that a certain disguise magic seemed to shroud them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“*Could it be a mercenary?*”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gululu speculated within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since it had discovered Demacia, it intended not to let him escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Two hundred missing goblins were no small matter!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*He had to catch this detestable bastard!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gululu resolved with clenched teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It worried not about any hidden mercenary forces backing him; Demacia didn’t dare appear openly before Gululu, indicating his awareness of his inferior strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Resorting to sneaky tactics even to deal with goblins, demonstrating his guilty conscience!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this realization, it decisively swung the giant Skull Wand, releasing a chilling energy from the Treasure Bead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid eerie energy fluctuations, skeletal hands emerged beneath Demacia, fiercely grabbing at his legs…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, watching the live player broadcast within the Divine Space, Eve’s Divine Soul trembled, suddenly sensing a stirring unease welling up from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“`\u003C\u002Fp>",1278,"2026-06-03T12:38:19.275Z","2026-06-03T12:38:26.972Z",1,"novelbin.me","4416cc61b3ca8cfbd88fcf8652d3feab0f1310afe6ec09fe689d65bf0800c322","elf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-chapter-32","elf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-chapter-30",1431,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Felf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-cover.jpg"]
