Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree
Chapter 1371 - 869: Divine Favored
A person who doesn’t count their own losses, who is willing to transform into a firefly for their lofty ideals, always earns respect.
Even though Demacia’s personality is consistently carefree, even now he hasn’t been able to shake off his irreverent habits in the Elf Kingdom, at this moment, upon hearing Old John’s words, it’s hard for him not to be moved.
The Elf Kingdom is a game, but it’s not just a game.
This is a vibrant world, where every NPC has their own story, their own thoughts, and each NPC might interact with the players.
These interactions between players and NPCs constantly influence each other, influence the world, influence the epic game plot of the Segis world, influence the ever-forward historical wheel...
For the NPCs living here, for the players wandering in this world, this is a real world.
A world full of human experiences, full of fantasy adventures, full of all kinds of legendary tales...
As the player who first met Old John, Demacia still vividly remembers the other’s initial plight.
However, in less than a year’s time, the other has transformed from a miner struggling with bare sustenance to a warrior willing to fight for faith, to sacrifice for faith.
Yes, a warrior.
Demacia truly wants to use that word to refer to what Old John represents in his eyes now.
Though the dungeon is damp and dark, deep and deathly still, at this moment Old John seems to be glowing with a brilliant light.
His gaze is so bright, like light in the darkness.
Looking at Old John’s gentle smile, Demacia’s mind suddenly recalls a phrase he heard during his studies:
"Precisely because countless pioneers spilled blood and forged ahead at great risk, our current happiness is achieved..."
He suddenly feels this phrase is equally applicable to the current Segis World.
Will the Life Church and Goddess bring change to the Human World of Segis World?
Of course they will.
Though as the designer of the scripture and main driver of the plot, Demacia well understands that empowering the Goddess and overthrowing her enemies is the deeper reason behind the change.
Yet this cannot negate the fact that the "Life Scripture" fused with certain Blue Star ideologies is far superior to the Eternal Church doctrine, more suited to the development of extraordinary power that is stagnating, especially as Magic Power begins to revive in the Segis World...
They, the Elf Chosen Ones, indeed brought hope to ordinary people in these dark times while gaming.
Demacia does not doubt at all that the beautiful visions he painted for believers, the future he depicted will inevitably come true with the illumination of the Goddess’s radiance.
This is his faith in the Goddess, his faith in the players, and likewise, his faith in himself.
And it’s precisely for this reason, sensing Old John’s inner fervor and the spirit that is willing to dedicate everything for faith, that he is profoundly moved.
That feeling is difficult to describe with words.
It’s like casually playing a block stacking game, only to suddenly realize at the end that you’ve constructed not merely blocks but a world.
And this, perhaps, is the greatest charm of the Elf Kingdom.
At this moment, Demacia suddenly feels as though he’s witnessing the history of Segis World unfold.
And he himself is both a participant, a driver, a narrator of this grand history...
Perhaps one day, in the annals and records of Segis World, his name, Demacia, will be painted in rich detail?
What a pity.
If only I had known earlier, I would’ve followed Brother Mu’s lead and used my real name as my gaming ID.
"What do I need to do?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
Demacia asks.
His tone now lacks any casual irreverence and has solemnly transformed.
At this moment, he is truly serious.
"Of course, it’s about utilizing the advantages of the Elf Chosen One, leveraging your personal strengths."
Old John says warmly.
Speaking, he takes a deep look at Demacia:
"Lord Demacia, I know your Amway Trading Company’s network spans the entire continent, and I also know that during this period, you’ve covertly contributed greatly to the spread of the Goddess’s faith..."
"And now, I want to once again borrow your strength to spread what’s about to happen in Maniya City..."
Upon hearing Old John’s words, Demacia understands.
He knows what the other wants him to do.
The spread of Life Church’s faith in Segis World has subtly reached a climax, the brewing forces have gradually swelled to an unbelievable extent.
Now, what’s needed is a spark.
A spark that can ignite the believers’ fighting spirit, awaken those ordinary people still in slumber.
This spark is Old John.
However, having a spark is not enough, because the Eternal Church’s power remains strong, flames can be extinguished.
Therefore, what’s needed is a gust of wind, a wind capable of fanning the flames, enlarging them, spreading them...
That’s the publicity game players excel at.
"I understand, for the next period of time, I won’t be doing anything else, I will stay with you until the very end."
