Chapter 452: Elf Class Change

As soon as Donald arrived on the Totem Continent, he first set up several magic teleportation gates in the main regions of the Sili Chiefdom. These not only facilitated the arrival of troops from the main continent but also significantly altered the strategic landscape of the Totem Continent. With these interconnected teleportation gates, the Sili Chiefdom became a tightly integrated entity—should one area face a crisis, support could be sent at any time from other regions.

In addition to the magic teleportation gates, Donald spared no effort in using his divine power to establish over a dozen large towns and three castles within several major territories of Sili, free of charge, for his own tribes of the Totem Gods and royal families, as well as allied forces like the Ansel family. The creation abilities of the Book of Truth proved beyond imagination here. These miracles not only provided people with safe and comfortable living conditions but also deepened the indigenous inhabitants’ reverence for Donald, the true god from another continent.

Those in the kingdom who had been uneasy due to the influx of new elements soon calmed down considerably. This was also a side benefit!

While building the new kingdom, Donald reaped his share of rewards from this expedition: over a dozen fragments of divine essence. The bodies and souls of the Totem Gods were excellent materials for crafting divine weapons, and absorbing them directly could enhance a true god’s power. On the other hand, the totems—objects similar to temple altars that served as sources of faith for the Totem Gods—were the least useful spoils for the gods. Most of them were simply processed after absorbing the stored faith energy, turned into sacred artifacts with special functions, and given to believers for use.

After all, the materials used for totems were mostly not precious, and the rules embedded within them were relatively basic. Thus, for the gods, most of the benefits from this expedition lay in land and population resources, with the remaining advantages belonging to the Totem Gods themselves.

Yet what Donald valued most were precisely those totems, which the gods of the main continent considered tasteless yet wasteful. The hidden benefits of the Totem God’s divine essence were beyond even the true gods’ detection. Only entities like the Book of Truth could freely transform various divine domains, as its creator was one of the strongest true gods in the higher universe from which it originated, possessing knowledge that rivaled that of the supreme true gods here.

In that universe, there exists a supreme artifact known as the Tablet of Fate, which can instantly elevate an ordinary being to a god-like being with immense power, or it can strip away the divinity and status of any true god below the supreme gods, reducing them to demigods, mortals, or even causing their complete destruction. The Tablet of Fate is the tangible manifestation of the source of that world’s laws, and its power is unimaginable—it is akin to a supreme god without independent will. The Codex of Gods was created by the author of the Book of Truth by imitating this supreme artifact, the Tablet of Fate; it can separate various law domains and organize them together to form a being as great as the Tablet of Fate itself. The more law domains Donald collects, the more complete the Codex of Gods becomes. “Originally, the number of true gods in the main world was limited. I didn’t know how many true gods I would need to hunt down to obtain various law domains—a task that seemed almost impossible. So, I could only focus on those easier to capture. The process of completing the Codex of Gods would proceed extremely slowly; even a thousand years might not suffice to achieve my desired level. This greatly hindered my efforts to obtain a perfect, powerful divine status and to advance in terms of faith and power.” “Now that the two realms have merged, the new main world has the gods of the Totem Continent. The gods of the main world don’t care and won’t compete with them. The vast number of totem deities with powers below that of demigods are my ideal targets!” As long as Donald collects enough totems, he can acquire the profound secrets contained within them, obtaining treasures as unique and extraordinary as the Tablet of Fate. He might even replace the core of the universe’s will and become a being as great as the supreme artifact of this world, wielding supreme power to appoint or strip away the divinity of other gods! At this thought, his heart burned with enthusiasm. If he simply wanted to establish a divine kingdom and ascend to a throne, as a newly risen god, he could easily do so at any time with the help of the Book of Truth. But achieving the status of a lower god through the Book of Truth might be more difficult going forward, with his potential likely limited to that of a mid-tier god at most. What he wanted was to accumulate and master sufficient divinity and knowledge, then independently resist the backlash of the realm’s laws, elevate his divine kingdom to a higher realm, become the most powerful lower god in history, and then ascend to mid-tier, upper-tier gods, or even the supreme, intangible supreme god.

Regardless of whether he can reach the level of the Prime God in the future, doing this will at least increase his potential for development by countless times, opening up endless possibilities for his achievements. With Donald’s efforts, something new has emerged. After several months, the second batch of elf immigrants from the southern continent is about to arrive in Dalaran. This rapid progress is thanks to the portal Donald established at the border between Polyn and Gardrel, which saved the elves a significant portion of their journey. Donald has always held a positive view of the elves. Not to mention his possession of the bloodline of the High Elves and the secret support from the elven goddesses of moonlight and night, Loren, it’s enough that they are a proud yet humble race, indifferent yet passionate about nature and peace—making it hard for anyone to feel ill will toward them. Of course, those in the evil factions are excluded! So this time, Donald plans to fully integrate the elf population and officially launch the Dalaran Elite Program. Originally, only elves from the Druid tribes were eligible for transformation at the Sacred Sites, but now Donald intends to open this opportunity to all elf residents who have lived there for a year. Although Donald is not a pure-blooded elven god, he controls the Sacred Tree of Life, which is like a mother to the elves. Additionally, the moon essence from the Moon Wells is an excellent tonic for elves, with effects far greater on them than on humans, as part of the High Elves’ power comes from the moon. It is said that in this world, elves used to worship not only the Prime God of Elves but also the long-dead ancient Moon Goddess. The Moon Elves are the direct descendants of those High Elves who worshipped the Moon Goddess, and compared to the Sun Elves who worship the sun, their race has thrived even more. Now, Donald not only has the Tree of Life, which they rely on for reproduction, but also the Ancient Wisdom Tree People for elf transformations, allowing him to train elf archers, Moon Hunters, and even the Druid class, which has been lost for thousands of years. This is because hero units of all races can only have a single lineage, which is not suitable for public disclosure. Otherwise, if the elves saw the four major hero classes of the Night Elves, they might think it was a miracle of the Moon Goddess and worship Donald devoutly. Moreover, Donald’s High Elf bloodline easily resonates with other elves’ bloodlines, inspiring respect and a sense of kinship toward him, prompting them to instinctively feel close to him.

Thus, the elves of Dalaran held a highly respectful and affectionate attitude toward this half-elf lord. After a group of elves underwent class transformation, Donald became even more confident in their loyalty. Anyone who received professional training through the Book of Truth would instinctively feel reverence and closeness toward Donald, who was the master of all such constructs. The intensity of these feelings varied depending on Donald’s treatment of them, but when it reached over 80%, their loyalty could be assured. Currently, Donald could sense that the loyalty of his non-summoned human subordinates in his territory was almost all above 70%. This was mainly because Donald was not only their lord but also the one who transformed them from ordinary commoners into powerful professionals, elevating them above others. As for the newly added elf subjects, those who had undergone class transformation owed him around 60% loyalty due to their reverence for the high elf lineage. Even some elves held him in great admiration because of the Tree of Life, adding more elf followers to the Council of Nature Guardians. This level of loyalty ensured that the people in his territory would remain faithful to him and would not harm him, even at the risk of their own lives, if it meant not endangering their lord. These more than 300 elves officially became the inhabitants of Dalaran’s territory, adding many talented individuals to it. Ever since the existence of elves was known, the people of the town had been curious about these mysterious and beautiful beings. However, Donald always assigned the elves to Starfall Town, so aside from a few who came to Twilight Town on business or were sent by the lord’s palace, the elves mostly lived peacefully in Moonwood, with their lives rarely disturbed. Elves were generally masters of cultivation, especially those from the druid tribes. Naturally close to plants, even children among them usually knew some basic natural spells, making them perfect for tending to crops. With more hands available, the rare crops in the territory and manors were entrusted to elves willing to take care of them. Now that elves served under Dalaran, it made other factions on the continent envious. After all, the pride and reserve of elves were well-known among all races. No true elf had ever served another race, except for half-elves, who existed between elves and humans. …
