With creaking sounds, the stone gate gradually opened…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several players widened their eyes, curiously peeking inside the stone gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eve, too, was on high alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The view gradually expanded, and at last, everyone could see the scene within the stone gate clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a vast hall, surrounded by ancient stone pillars, with ferocious and terrifying dragons depicted on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Eve felt a sense of regret and relief* that she didn’t sense Nidhogg’s presence in the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this also meant that the entity had already awakened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called “Land of Vitality” had long fulfilled its mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, although she did not sense Nidhogg’s presence, the moment the hall opened, Eve suddenly felt a familiar sense of agitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She abruptly raised her head, looking toward a certain direction in the hall…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the deepest part of the hall, there stood a tall, gray-black pyramid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On top of the pyramid floated a crescent-shaped light cluster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light cluster was dark green, flickering continuously, and something seemed to be spinning continuously within it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant she saw the light cluster, Eve felt her familiar and agitated sensation growing stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is… the aura of a True Divine Artifact! Moreover… it evokes a sense of familiarity and closeness within me; this belongs to the former World Tree!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Eve’s eyes widened, her heart pounding with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“However… this aura feels somewhat strange, a bit scattered and unstable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the flickering light cluster, Eve noticed the crescent shape and quickly regained her composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could it be… the shattered Life Scepter?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despair Dragon Nidhogg’s Despair Church believers could perform healing Divine Arts stronger than those of the True God Church.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they could achieve this only means one situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Nidhogg had somehow stolen the law of life and gained some control over the law of life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Eve speculated in her heart that perhaps Nidhogg had gained some of the World Tree’s essence by consuming its roots back then, and thus understood a portion of the law of life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or… that she directly or indirectly mastered a True Divine Artifact from the World Tree’s domain of life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this crescent-shaped light cluster, the answer was already clear…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed, it was the Life Scepter! Nidhogg was using the Life Scepter to allow believers to perform healing Divine Arts. However… this was not the complete Life Scepter but fragments of it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eve reached a conclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came the boundless joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Life Scepter! She never expected the Life Scepter to be here!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although… it seemed to be just some fragments, obtaining it would still allow her to take another step in mastering the law of life!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eve’s gaze moved slightly downward, her eyes narrowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below the pyramid, she saw rows of translucent gray-black cocoons, each cocoon encasing a tall figure with closed eyes…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow, aren’t those elves?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So many elves! There must be at least a few hundred of them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Little Xian Miao’s live stream, the comments from the players started floating across the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The players who came with Eve also grew increasingly serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are there so many elves here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Xian Miao typed with curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gugu Bird’s eyes narrowed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quick, look at the base of the pyramid!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her message, several players quickly looked toward the base of the pyramid, seeing each cocoon connected to the pyramid with a slender conduit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking carefully, they noticed a faint dark green energy flowing through the conduits into the pyramid, finally converging in the crescent-shaped light cluster at the top…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several players were very curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, upon seeing those elves below, Eve instantly realized what Nidhogg was doing…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see… she was using the elves’ bloodline power to repair the Life Scepter!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Life Scepter was one of the three True Divine Artifacts of the former World Tree and also the scepter governing the law of life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the Life Scepter might not possess powerful offensive abilities, it had terrifying healing capabilities and the power to transform and evolve life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For any race, this was an artifact capable of altering racial destiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Precisely because of this, the gods fought over the Life Scepter during the millennium-long divine war, leading to its shattering…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one had anticipated that the entity long collecting the Life Scepter fragments was the newly awakened Nidhogg!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm… though it seemed she had already completely fallen into becoming an Evil God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Life Scepter was created by the former World Tree from a portion of her essence, concentrated with the Original Law. Thus… to repair it, she had to use the bloodline power of the World Tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You all, come here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the group gazed at the pyramid, lost in thought, the old man spoke again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had reached the base of the pyramid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You have all become true desperate believers, and as my lord’s clansmen, every believer should come here to offer sincere prayers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he turned around and bowed slightly to the crescent-shaped light cluster atop the pyramid, fervently praising:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Praise my lord, the great God of Despair!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other believers mimicked his action:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Praise my lord, the great God of Despair!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Eve was stirred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, she knew why the old man had brought them here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Repairing the Life Scepter required not only the bloodline power of the World Tree but also the Divine Power of life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Nidhogg lacked the Divine Power of life, so… in a relative sense, he used faith power more easily accepted by Divine Artifacts compared to his own Divine Power, having believers ceaselessly pray to the Life Scepter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was both Nidhogg’s method for repairing the Life Scepter and the way she left her mark on it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the players saw the old man’s actions, they glanced at each other and pretended to pray to the pyramid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, their prayers had no effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in Eve’s heart, a bold idea gradually formed…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorry for posting late!
