Chapter 227

"I have studied several hundred tomes of the Elven Empire, trying to find a way to break the curse of the God of Darkness, but regrettably, when it comes to the domain of gods, even the mighty Elven Empire has no records on this matter."

"I have also tried to struggle against the curse's power of the God of Darkness. By my estimate, even if one of us could enter the Holy Domain, we could only suppress the curse's power upon ourselves, but still could not drive it out completely. However, once we arrive at Eighth Rank, the God of Darkness will come to harvest our souls!"

The Night Elf Queen's words caused a small stir among the tens of thousands of Night Elves around her.

Because they had not known this before.

Like the former Princess Chenxi, they had all assumed the God of Darkness's curse merely prevented them from appearing in daylight!

"Your Majesty, is this true? Once one reaches Eighth Rank, the God of Darkness will come to harvest souls?"

A Night Elf elder asked.

The Night Elf Queen nodded affirmatively and said:

"I apologize for not telling you before. I did not want you to fall into utter despair. The God of Darkness is mighty and evil, and her curse is equally wicked beyond compare!"

The expression of that Night Elf elder had already changed somewhat.

Yes, she was still some distance from Eighth Rank.

To reach Eighth Rank would take at least several more years.

But what matters most to people is hope.

The God of Darkness had sealed off all hope for the Night Elf race!

Only by reaching the Holy Domain was there a chance to suppress the curse's power upon oneself, and even then only for that one person.

But the Holy Domain was Tenth Rank.

Unless someone could, after the Abyss Rift closed, twenty years ago, push from the peak of Seventh Rank all the way to Tenth Rank in one go!

But that was far too difficult!

It was almost impossible.

Especially given that the curse's power also had a certain effect on magical perception, and they had already lost the gods' favor, lost their original forest, and lacked resources, barely able to sustain their lives!

The Night Elf Queen continued: "Over these years, I have also kept praying, trying to communicate with other deities, but the God of Darkness is too powerful. No deity was willing to grant us their favor, not even a mere response!"

At this point, a trace of self-mockery appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Although the Night Elf race was powerful.

Their population was, after all, too small.

Only a little over fifty thousand.

If the Night Elf race had not been cursed by the God of Darkness, many deities would still have gladly accepted them.

But now, the Night Elf race had offended the God of Darkness.

The gods of the Heavenly Realm might not necessarily fear the Abyss Demon Gods, even if the other party was stronger than them.

But the key issue was that breaking the God of Darkness's curse was no easy matter.

Those weaker than the God of Darkness had no way to break it.

Those slightly stronger, Separated by the Heavenly Realm's barrier, would have to pay an enormous price to channel their power down.

For them, the loss outweighed the gain.

So although the Night Elf Queen had prayed without cease for over a dozen years, No Heavenly Realm deity had given any response at all.
