Chapter 015: The Goddess of Nature
After the True God transformed, the situation on the battlefield changed drastically! The four greatest warriors of the elf race were all beaten to the point of vomiting blood, their fates unknown!
At that moment, the True God seemed to let out a sigh of relief and burst into loud laughter. “All of you elves, if you surrender to me, I, the True God, decide to forgive your sins of desecrating the gods!” he declared loudly.
“Don’t be afraid! The True God is already at his wits’ end. He’s saying this just to hide the fact that he’s severely injured! We still have so many holy-level warriors. If we launch a forbidden-level attack together, I believe this True God will surely fall beneath our ancient elf tree!” said an older elf elder loudly.
“Haha, is that so? But even if I’m at my wits’ end, killing ants like you takes no effort at all,” said the True God as he turned lightly and strode toward the elf elder who had spoken.
He stretched out a palm, sealing off all paths of retreat for the elf elder. When he tried to cast a spell, the elder was shocked to find that the magical fluctuations around him seemed to have frozen!
Helplessly, he watched as the True God’s palm swung toward him.
Just as the giant palm was about to strike the elf elder, a calm yet regretful female voice came from all directions.
“Cedilord, if you leave now, I’ll spare your life. After all, it’s not easy for a person to become a god.” As soon as the woman’s voice appeared, she suddenly mentioned a name.
“Who are you? How do you know my name?” The True God’s expression turned cold as he shouted.
“Since you dare to come to the sacred land of the elves, you should know me,” came the woman’s calm and gentle voice from all sides.
“You’re the Goddess of Nature!” The True God’s expression changed as he asked loudly.
“Who else could it be? Cedilord, leave quickly. If you go, I won’t hold you accountable for your recklessness this time,” said the calm and gentle female voice.
“Haha. Goddess of Nature, Goddess of Nature! Isn’t it said that you’ve already perished? You haven’t appeared in tens of thousands of years. Just sending over a voice like this doesn’t mean I’ll give up on my long-planned plans! That’s impossible!” Cedilord cried out.
“Why do you want to listen to rumors?” asked a calm and gentle woman’s voice. “Don’t you believe what’s right in front of you? Do you prefer to believe a rumor?”
“Haha, rumors also make sense. Although your voice reaches me now, it’s just a trace of your lingering presence! I don’t believe you can be my opponent!” The True God laughed heartily.
As soon as he spoke, the True God’s palm struck again at the elven elder.
At that moment, a glimmer of emerald light shot toward the True God at an incredible speed!
That green light pierced straight through the True God’s head, and red and black gases flickered continuously. In no time, the True God shrank back to his original size.
“Kedilord, since you refuse to see reason, then perish here.” As soon as these words were spoken, a woman in a green robe appeared. Her attire and appearance were extremely similar to those of the statues in the elven tribe’s sacred place!
She stretched out her palm and smacked it directly on the True God’s head.
That palm was filled with swirling emerald light, which continuously eroded the True God’s body!
“Goddess of Nature, if I hadn’t been fighting those four people and been severely injured, with your current strength, how could you possibly be my opponent?” the True God said angrily.
“Kedilord, I already gave you a chance to leave. It was your own choice to stay. Who can be blamed?” the Goddess of Nature sighed softly.
“Maybe you planned this all along. Otherwise, you should have appeared earlier to see how many of those elves who believed in you have died or been injured, and how those four great warriors are all seriously hurt. It seems the so-called Goddess of Nature is just as cunning and deceitful—after so many deaths and injuries and after draining most of my combat strength, you finally show up. Haha, what a great plan!” The True God, trapped and unable to move under the Goddess of Nature’s palm, laughed angrily.
“How can you say that? Kedilord, if I had appeared earlier, with my current strength, I definitely wouldn’t be your opponent. It’s better to appear now and make you perish—that’s what truly matters!” the Goddess of Nature said.
“Very well.” Feeling that there was little divine power left in his body, the True God laughed miserably.
The True God already guessed what the Goddess of Nature would do next.
Sure enough, as the emerald divine light in her hand intensified, the True God was completely erased.
Relying on his strong physique, Du Fan had recovered by about five or six points. Seeing the true god perish and vanish like this filled him with a sense of desolation. After all, that was a god! A god who had just been full of vigor now collapsed right before Du Fan’s eyes! The true god completely disappeared, leaving only a crystal-clear gem-like object and a small pile of relics. With a wave of her hand, the natural goddess caused that crystal-clear object to merge into her body. As soon as it entered her body, a strong green light enveloped her entire being! Her hair and clothes began to flutter in the wind without any breeze. The next moment, the natural goddess trembled, and Du Fan immediately sensed that her solemn aura had become much stronger than when she first appeared. “This Kedilod is nothing but someone who was lucky enough to absorb a fragment of a Dark God’s divinity—and yet he still became a god. The Dark God truly deserves to be one of the great gods!” the natural goddess murmured in sigh. “It’s been so long since I’ve felt such divine power. This feeling is wonderful,” she said with a slight smile. Of the hundreds of experts brought by those true gods, nearly three hundred remained. Seeing their god die, they were at a loss. “Come here all of you,” the natural goddess said with a smile to those experts. Those hundreds of experts were originally elves, only to have been darkened. Hearing the natural goddess’s call, these darkened elves instinctively headed toward her. On the battlefield, there were elves lying dead or wounded everywhere. Seeing this, the natural goddess frowned slightly. Rising into the air, she kept waving her hand, sending out bursts of green light. As her movements grew faster, it seemed as though a green rain was falling from the sky! Those green droplets fell on the elves, instantly filling them with vitality and energy. When they fell on Du Fan, he felt an intense coolness, and he immediately realized that his injuries had healed. As the rain continued to fall, the wounded elves on the ground stood up again, including Saito, Moses, and of course, Naixiu! Only those elves who were completely dead, with their souls utterly gone, could not be revived. All the others were revived, and the injuries they suffered were completely healed by the natural goddess’s green rain.
Those dead elves seemed to be merely in a deep sleep.
Drops of green rain fell to the ground, and immediately green grass grew there, along with bright flowers!
The ground, which had just been ravaged by battle, soon turned into a vast garden-like meadow!
Those dead elves were simply asleep in this garden.
This was truly a miracle—a complete miracle!
Du Fan thought of the legendary miracles as he reflected on this.
The elves, inspired by this miracle, became filled with emotion and knelt devoutly on the ground, beginning to chant softly.
“Thank you, Goddess!” Theto shouted loudly.
“Thank you, Goddess!” All the elves present joined in thanking her.
At that moment, Du Fan stood alone among the kneeling elves.
“Get up,” said the Nature Goddess with a smile. Though she said so, the elves didn’t dare to rise.
In Du Fan’s eyes, it seemed the Nature Goddess’s gaze briefly swept over him as well.
“Theto, leave it to you to handle these remnants left by the Kedilords,” the Nature Goddess said, waving her hand lightly. The relics of the Kedilords appeared before Theto.
“Yes, Goddess,” Theto replied respectfully.
“And those Dark Elves who have returned to the elf race shall belong to the Kayi tribe and follow the orders of Chief Naixiu,” the Nature Goddess said with another smile.
“Yes, Goddess,” Naixiu replied devoutly.
Hearing this, Du Fan felt a stir in his heart. Wasn’t this clearly a favor meant for him? Over 300 experts at level 9 and above! If they obeyed Naixiu, wouldn’t it be the same as obeying him? Du Fan thought.
“Great Sage Lanling, I bestow upon you an Elf Ring. Through this ring, you will be able to communicate with my ring,” the Nature Goddess said again, waving her hand once more. A ring was placed on Lanling’s finger.
“Yes, Goddess,” Lanling replied humbly.
Strange—couldn’t the Nature Goddess see that Lanling was no longer a virgin? Why did she still choose Lanling as her representative?
By doing this, the Nature Goddess clearly chose her representative on this continent. With the ability to communicate directly with her, anything said by Lanling could be presented as the Nature Goddess’s will, as long as Lanling agreed!
“Lord Du Fan, I owe you even more gratitude this time,” said the Goddess of Nature suddenly, smiling at him.
“It is an honor to be able to assist Her Majesty,” Du Fan replied, standing quietly and striving to display his most holy smile and aura.
The fact that Her Majesty addressed Du Fan as “Lord Du Fan” suggested that he held a high status in her eyes! The elves thought to themselves.
“But, Your Majesty, everyone else has received rewards—why am I the only one with nothing?” Du Fan suddenly said.
“Haha,” The Goddess of Nature laughed, a rare occurrence.
To the elves, her laughter remained profoundly sacred, but to Du Fan, it seemed to carry a hint of flirtatiousness.
“You really are interesting, aren’t you? Have I not given you enough benefits?” the Goddess of Nature laughed. Without further explanation, she twisted her figure and disappeared before the elves.
