Chapter 689: The Elf Goddess

What Vivera discovered was different: Lin Yan's divine body seemed very weak!

In her perception, it was weaker than her own divine body!

This was somewhat unreasonable!

Because in Vivera's view, Lin Yan was at least a peak Third Rank deity.

Elf deities differ somewhat from human deities.

A clear difference is that the several elf tribes who worship Vivera are scattered across various regions of the continent.

This is not because Vivera's divine radiance is dispersed among several kingdoms, but because Vivera's divine radiance is anchored by her believers!

How many elves are there anyway!

Even at its peak, the number of elves who worshipped her never exceeded two hundred thousand.

And since individual elves are powerful, these two hundred thousand elves contributed faith equivalent to several million devout humans.

That's why Vivera could do this!

But once the number of believers increases while their quality declines, the best approach is to concentrate the divine radiance within a single kingdom.

In Vivera's view, Lin Yan currently controls multiple kingdoms and demonstrated immense power when cultivating the Sacred Flame Forest.

Additionally, when bestowing blessings upon the Life Tree, Lin Yan again displayed extraordinarily powerful strength.

All of this indicates Lin Yan's greatness!

Yet why does such a powerful Lin Yan possess such a weak divine body?

This was what Vivera could not understand.

Vivera could still discern a divine body—it was clearly distinct from divine avatars or other forms.

She hadn't noticed it in the past few days mainly because she had never carefully examined the strength of Lin Yan's divine body.

Her attention was entirely on Lin Yan himself, drawn in by both his soul and appearance, and with her preconceived notions, how could she have bothered to observe whether his divine body was strong or weak?

Only now, by accident, had she made this discovery.

Immediately after, Vivera recalled how Lin Yan had arrived.

Lin Yan had not come to her divine realm from the Heavenly Realm.

Instead, he had chosen to enter from the Continent of Gods.

At that time, Vivera had assumed Lin Yan had sent a divine avatar to visit.

But now, the truth was that Lin Yan had arrived in his divine body.

Vivera had never considered this possibility before, but now that she thought about it, it suddenly seemed unreasonable.

"Could the Lord of Flame have previously descended to the Continent of Gods in his true form?"

Vivera wondered.

Only this could explain why Lin Yan entered her divine realm through the passage from the Continent of Gods!

But to descend to the Continent of Gods in true form…

That was something only a Fourth Rank deity, and an exceptionally powerful one at that, could accomplish.

Even if one could do it, few would, because power is severely weakened upon descent, and the risks are too great.

What if a peak Fourth Rank deity descended and was hunted down or gravely wounded by a powerful Saint Realm cultivator above Third Stage? That would be ridiculous.

Moreover, Fourth Rank deities are major figures with vast divine systems; they need not handle matters personally—why would they descend to the Continent of Gods?

Thinking this through, Vivera became confused again.

Time slowly passed.

Despite many doubts, Vivera did not ask Lin Yan.

Every day, her gaze still quietly lingered on Lin Yan for long stretches.
