Chapter 72: Chapter 71: A Divine Spirit Cannot Be Gazed Upon Directly, Tears of Happiness

Divine Spirits must not be gazed upon directly!

This was true for all Clans!

Previously, with little Faith Value to draw upon, Zhang Yi had mostly acted through Oracles.

But this time,

for such a grand sacrificial ceremony, Zhang Yi had to appear as a Divine Projection!

Otherwise, appearing via an Oracle again would inevitably lack a certain imposing presence.

For the Wood Elves he had nurtured from the very beginning, all of whom were True Believers or higher, this wasn’t a problem.

However, for this group of newly conquered Fire Elves and Dwarves,

appearing in the form of an Oracle again would not be enough to truly awe them,

and compel these new Clans to provide him with Faith Value!

Awe and grace, hand in hand, were the only way to make a deep impression!

As all the Clans knelt on the ground,

the entire plaza fell completely silent!

This was true for the Wood Elves, Fire Elves, and Dwarves alike.

Gazing at the sea of figures before him, Zhang Yi’s Divine Projection nodded silently.

Unlike before, when the Wood Elf and Natural Elf Clans couldn’t even fill this tribal plaza,

this time, the entire plaza was filled with kneeling figures!

The population of his Clans had instantly tripled!

With an ample supply of weapons, the combat strength of his Divine Realm had effectively doubled or even tripled!

After all, a portion of so many Clan members were elderly or children who could not work.

"My loyal Wood Elf Clan!"

"I have witnessed all your efforts during this time!"

"You first battled an invading Clan, then waged a holy war against Heretics,

and now, you have obeyed My command to travel to another continent and subjugate the Mountain Dwarf and Fire Elf Clans!"

"Such great deeds cannot go unrewarded!"

Hearing the great God of Nature say such words,

the Wood Elves and Natural Elves who had previously felt the hardship of their journey to the other continent,

were now overcome with emotion, their eyes welling with tears!

That the great God of Nature would actually turn His gaze to His humble Believers—

In that moment, the hearts of all the Wood Elves and Natural Elves filled with joy, and they unknowingly shed tears of happiness!

Upon hearing this,

the kneeling Dwarf and Fire Elf Clans felt a spark of jealousy ignite in their hearts.

This jealousy was not directed toward the great God of Nature,

but toward the Wood Elves, who had managed to earn the great God of Nature’s favor,

and even moved Him to issue an Oracle in their praise!

Yes,

that’s right.

Zhang Yi had deliberately recounted the Wood Elves’ past deeds,

praising them lavishly!

His goal was precisely to make the Dwarves and Fire Elves feel a spark of jealousy.

It was precisely this jealousy

that would drive these newly conquered Clans,

during their future lives in the Divine Realm, to think of the praised Wood Elves as they worked,

and thus work even harder,

offering more to the great God of Nature!

Today was already the end of the month,

with only one day until the start of the next.

The fluctuations within the Divine Realm caused by loading the last Divine Domain Card had also nearly dissipated!

Therefore, loading a new Divine Domain Card a day early

was a risk a Lord of Deities like Zhang Yi, born with a top-tier Divine Realm, could afford to take!

"The loyal Wood Elf and Natural Elf Clans have been unerringly faithful!"

"Day and night, you have shouldered the tasks of your great God of Nature!"

"Therefore, the great God of Nature hereby bestows the Bloodline Evolution Pool as a reward to the Wood Elf Clan!"

Hearing the Oracle from the God of Nature,

below the altar, the Wood Elves and Natural Elves alike were ecstatic, despite still kneeling on the ground!

The great God of Nature had not forgotten His promise!

On the contrary, the great God of Nature had always remembered the contributions of the Wood Elf Clan!

On this grand and auspicious day,

in front of both the Fire Elf and Dwarf Clans,

He had not only praised the Wood Elf Clan, but had also bestowed upon them an incomparable reward!

This instilled in the Wood Elves a devotion so profound they felt they would willingly die for one who truly understood them!

[Event]: Moved by the great God of Nature’s praise and reward, thirty-seven members of the Wood Elf Clan have become Fanatic Believers, and one member has become a Holy Believer!

Hearing the notification from his Divine Realm, Zhang Yi couldn’t help but glance at the Believers interface.

The new Holy Believer from the Wood Elf Clan was none other than Elf Legion Commander Feiyana!

As she listened to the encouragement from the great God of Nature,

Feiyana thought to herself, ’These are all contributions made under my leadership,’

’so the great God of Nature’s words of encouragement are really meant for me—for Feiyana!’

And so, the devout Feiyana, swept up in her own fervor, became the second Holy Believer in the entire Divine Realm!

"Immersing oneself in the Bloodline Evolution Pool grants every Clan a chance to purify its bloodline and awaken the bloodline of a higher Clan!"

Zhang Yi’s Oracle added,

But the purpose of this addendum,

was to ensure the neighboring Dwarf and Fire Elf Clans also understood.

Sure enough,

at first, the Dwarves and Fire Elves hadn’t fully understood the value of the item bestowed by the great God of Nature!

But now, hearing the great God of Nature personally explain its value,

they were instantly stunned.

Then, that shock turned into intense envy!

’The great God of Nature is too good to His Clan!’

Whether they were Dwarves or Fire Elves,

their own bloodlines were, in fact, also at the level of a Middle Clan.

If they could just immerse themselves in this Bloodline Evolution Pool a few times,

even if they failed to awaken their bloodline, the strengthening of their body’s Four-dimensional Attributes would be a guaranteed, fundamental improvement!

A typical Middle-Rank Clan could undergo Bloodline Evolution three times!

After the third time,

consuming more bloodline-enhancing Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, or even immersing themselves in the Bloodline Evolution Pool, would have little effect.

But how many Clans went their entire lives without even a single chance for Bloodline Evolution?

Who could compare to the great God of Nature, whose generosity was so immense!

"If they make great contributions, the Fire Elf and Dwarf Clans will also be able to use the Bloodline Evolution Pool!"

The Fire Elves and Mountain Dwarves were lost in a whirlwind of shock and jealousy, only coming to their senses when the great God of Nature delivered a new Oracle!

"We thank the great God of Nature for this boon!"

And after the reward for the Wood Elves had been bestowed,

it was time for the great God of Nature to decide the fates of the Dwarf and Fire Elf Clans!

A mix of excitement and anxiety caused Dwarf Leader Copperbeard Ironhammer and Fire Elf Leader Joy Pala,

to sweat profusely, even as they knelt on the ground!

Zhang Yi’s Divine Projection looked at the group of just over two hundred Fire Elves brought by Fire Elf Leader Joy Pala,

then at the fifty Fire Elf Fanatic Believers provided by his Golden Finger,

and then continued with his decrees.
