▪️ A Bold Idea

Eve felt the cogs of her mind swiftly turning as she looked at the blue sphere of light which symbolized earth’s inter network.

“A lack of readily-made souls…”

Evé subconsciously muttered as she felt her divinity pounding as if its telling her something. The netizens belonging in the world of her past life was at the forefront of her attention as the vague inspiration she had thought of mere seconds ago finally took some intricate form of idea.

“Can these netizens consciousness be used instead?”

At that moment, Eve’s mind ran on overdrive. Analyzing the feasibility of her rather ingenious plan.

Currently earth’s virtual reality technology have developed by leaps and bounds with one’s consciousness connecting within the network gradually becoming the mainstream for newer online games…

Since this was the case…could she then somehow find a way to implement some sort of passage link to redirect the consciousness of these netizens from earth towards Saigües instead?

Indeed! Since she’s already doing it now, once she reverse engineers and replicate her current method of connection then it might really be possible to completely link the consciousness of humans on her old world through just as long as they use the internet.

All she needs to do now is to replicate her method through the use of her divine powers then use the bodies created by the World Tree to be reborn as avatars. Sort of like a wifi receiver wherein she would personally function as the main server whilst the empty bodies would be the receiver of the consciousness.

In this way, her DP consumption would be very low, and the elven population dilemma could be solved as well.

She could completely “develop” a game and release it onto earth’s internet and allow these netizens to descend into this world as “players” by linking them to the empty bodies she will create.

Moreover, she wouldn’t have to worry about their deaths with this method, since the people from Earth are only mentally linked to the World Tree in order to connect their consciousness with their avatars. Their actual souls would still exist back on Earth. Once their avatars here dies, their consciousness link would only disconnect and they would wake up back on Earth without any actual loss of life.

In this way, She can create an army of players who are entirely not afraid of death! They can be used to rebuild the civilization of the elves!

At the same time, players can also assist her in gathering elves from all over the world, and even help spread her religion!

Thinking of this, Eve felt more and more excited.

And…not only that!

She can also modify the properties of these avatars she will create, slightly altering the “War Sacrifice” skill so that it can be integrated into the body as some sort of passive skill. In this way, every time the player levels up or defeats an enemy, some of the DP collected would also loop back onto her!

Just as long as these players keeps leveling up, she would also benefit as some sort of stock investor. Over time, she would accumulate significant divine power with them slaying different sorts of enemies whilst having the passive War Sacrifice skill.

Thinking of the hardcore gamers back in her previous life, Evé feels like this crazy idea is very promising!

These gamers can do anything just as long as they can keep grinding in order to level up and become stronger!

These are the optimal kind of players best to exploit!

When the time comes, she would just be responsible for operating the game’s backend system, and all tasks will be either left to the players or the natives themselves. She just needs to lie down on the background and rake in all the DP as administration fees.

“I am definitely a genius!”

Thinking of this, Eve almost couldn’t resist laughing like a madman and taking action immediately.

But soon, Evé restrained her impulse because she remembered that she still had to deal with those two native elves back at the temple.

“Let’s solve this matter first.”

After making this decision, Evé exited her Celestial Domain.

Her attention returned to the main hall of the Nature’s Shrine, wherein two elves were still kneeling piously in the same position as when she had to temporarily leave them.

Saintess Alice lowered her head, praying and repenting at the same time:

“I’m so stupid… really…”

“There’s no way the Great Goddess really could abandon me…My faith is still not devout enough…”

“Great Goddess, I truly failed as a saintess…how could I have such blasphemous thoughts…”

“The Great Goddess is an all-powerful being, if my prayers have not been answered, then it only shows that my faith is not devout enough…”

“Even when I has abandoned the Great Goddess, the Great Goddess has not abandoned me…”

“All of this is a test from the Great Goddess, but alas I did not persevere…”

“I’m truly the most unqualified saintess…”

“I’m so silly…really…”

On the other side, the old priest was prostrating as well, his pious voice trembling just like the younger maiden besides him.

“Mother Nature above, I am truly guilty of such grave sin…”

“I am guilty…”

“Oh great goddess…I must have been tempted by the devil to doubt your return…I am guilty…so guilty…”

Evé felt a bit ashamed as she listened to the two’s incessant pleas and feeling the immense regret and pain etched in their words.

However, she still had to deceive these people, even if it was a bit shameful…

With a light cough in her heart, she slightly stirred up her divine power and began posturing-

“Ah…”

A faint sigh echoed through the hall.

The voice was majestic and solemn, yet ethereal and pleasant as it seems to carry ancient vicissitudes of life, as well as deep lamentation and melancholia, making people unconsciously feel a sense of worship and admiration upon hearing it.

A ray of green light suddenly illuminated the entire hall. The two elven worshippers raised their heads in confusion and anticipation, only to see the broken statue on the altar beginning to emit faint divine radiance…

The Oak Guardian stood tall like a loyal guard, but the shimmering light in his bright eyes betrayed his inner excitement…

Under the passionate gaze of the three, an ethereal and sacred aria seemed to traverse the ages, faintly echoing in the hall, as the damaged elven statue slowly began to repair itself on its own…

Before long, a holy and beautiful effigy of an elven goddess reappeared on the altar once more.

If those who had seen the complete elven statue back in the old days were here, surely they would find that while this statue is similar to the ancient matriarch by eighty to ninety percent, this new effigy also now has its unique characteristics of their own added to it.

The gorgeous divine skirt has both the elegant and splendid style of the traditional elven civilization whilst a hint of modern earthen art blended to the patterns etched onto the details giving it quite a unique otherworldly charm.

The face of the statue appears to be younger, like that of a young adult maiden, dignified and beautiful, just as sacredly and noble.

Looking at the reshaped statue, Evé was slightly surprised as well.

This appearance was not intentionally generated by her, but formed rather instinctively by her will.

Is this my statue? The image that I will now form whenever I manifest in the future?

It’s…quite good-looking.

Looking at it made her lost in thought.

At this moment, Evé felt as if she had established a connection with the statue, and a sense of enlightenment arose from within her heart:

This effigy had now become her symbol and representation. Any intelligent life could pray to this statue to receive her blessings, and the statue could also absorb the faith of her followers and transmit it to her continuously.

Great!

Eve was very satisfied.

But repairing it did consume a lot of DP… Eve thought, feeling a bit pained.

Sure enough, Eve’s divine power had decreased by 02 points, leaving her with only 18 DP.

Three followers looked excitedly at the restored statue, with tears constantly flowing down their eyes in relief …

Nothing can prove the return of the Goddess more than the restoration of this statue!

Even the oak guardian knelt respectfully on the ground this time. The three people’s excited voices echoed in the hall:

“Praise be thy Patron God!”

“Praise be thy Matriarch!”

“Praise be thy Great Goddess of Life!”

“Thou pious servants respectfully welcomes thy Majesty’s return!” Alice, Berserker and Samuel shouted in unison.

Their words really do sounds a bit embarrassing…

Eve shivered involuntarily even though she doesn’t have a corporeal body.

She coughed mentally and then spoke:

“Please stand up.”

Her majestic and divine voice remained ethereal and beautiful.

The three individuals trembled as their expressions overflowed with fanaticism and emotion. They deeply bowed before the constantly flickering statue before slowly rising to their feets.

After a moment of silence, the grand voice rang out once more:

“I am already aware of the affairs of the elves. Now that I have returned, I will naturally revive the Silver Civilization.”

Upon hearing these words, Alice and Samuel’s bodies shook once again. They looked up at the dazzling statue with both surprise and tears blurring their eyes.

“Praise be thy Elven Patron God!”

Their voices choked slightly.

It had been so many years…

The elven race has been awaiting for this to happen for so long!

Finally… their matriarch has returned, and their patron god has returned to reclaim her crown!

“For the revival of elven civilization and our religion, I need all your strength.”

The solemn voice of Evé sounded again, and the three believers shuddered, straightening their bodies with devoted expressions:

“Praise be thy Mother Goddess!”

“We are willing to offer our lives and soul to the great goddess!”

The three boldy proclaimed in unison.

In the year 1066 of the Eternal Era, the sleeping immortal world tree, the ancient old goddess Evé Yggdrasill, have finally been reawakened.

This marks the new epoch in the annals of the Elven Civilization.
