Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 355 - 338: Is the Goddess Changing Her Vest?

"That’s right, the esteemed Mother Goddess issued a divine decree. In the future, she would de-emphasize her other titles and primarily use the name Life Goddess. Additionally, she would also revise the Natural Holy Scripture, minimizing the traces of the World Tree,"

Alice Wind said reverently, looking at the surprised expression on Li Mu’s face.

Minimize the traces of the World Tree?

Upon hearing her words, Li Mu’s heart skipped a beat, recalling various tests he had undergone with the Oak Hand...

*Could this be the next main quest?*

Li Mu’s heart raced with a faint excitement, feeling he might once again trigger a main quest.

He had reasons for this thought.

Having played the game for so long, Li Mu had almost completely figured out the plot model of "Elf Kingdom."

Unlike other online games, the plot of this game didn’t seem to be completely pre-designed but instead gradually evolved with the players’ development.

And players were inherently participants and motivators of the storyline, with almost every main quest being triggered by a fortunate player...

It was precisely for this reason that "Elf Kingdom" made players feel an intense sense of immersion and identity, cultivating a large number of die-hard fans in just a few months.

Moreover, all the main quests in the game were related to the Goddess.

Whenever the Goddess made a move, it often signified that a main quest was imminent...

Main quest!

*Could it be that this time I’m going to make it into the Chronicle again?*

Li Mu suddenly felt a bit excited.

"Make it into the Chronicle" was a playful term among "Elf Kingdom" players, referring to the highest honor among players.

Unlike other games, "Elf Kingdom" featured a unique system called the "Chronicle."

This Chronicle started documenting the development of players and changes in the Elf Forest from the first wave of playtesters in the form of a story...

The "Chronicle" included major events all players participated in, as well as players who made remarkable contributions in these events.

Initially, the "Chronicle" wasn’t very attractive.

But as "Elf Kingdom" became more popular, along with the formation of a fan community on Bluestar, various fan creations related to "Elf Kingdom" began to emerge, and the "Chronicle" gradually became an unofficial history...

Some netizens joked that in a few more years, the Chronicle could be read as a western fantasy novel.

Of course, that would require ignoring the players’ strange nicknames...

*Who wouldn’t want to become famous among players by playing a game?*

Not to mention, being featured in the "Chronicle" also came with rewards, and NPCs would look up to those "Chronicle" players more.

One day, you might unexpectedly hear your name in a conversation with an NPC.

*The feeling is quite satisfying.* freёnovelkiss.com

Of course, the players weren’t aware that Eve had casually included the "Chronicle" function in the believers’ task system.

Her believers could also view various events in the "Chronicle" and naturally had a special respect for the Chosen Ones who appeared in it.

With fame and fortune, players naturally were enthusiastic about triggering main quests and hidden storylines.

At this point, Li Mu made a few guesses about the potential main quest in his mind:

First, altering prayers and titles, and now minimizing the identity of the World Tree. Could it be... the Goddess planned to unveil a disguise and make a formal appearance on the Segis Continent?

Players were all aware that the Goddess was currently hiding her true identity.

After all, the game’s background clearly stated it: The Goddess had previously fallen after being besieged by the gods, and although she had revived, she was still an enemy to the world...

And the main story, in simpler terms, was about fighting against the gods, assisting the Goddess in regaining her strength, and reviving the Elf Clan.

In the early stages, when her strength wasn’t great, laying low was the right strategy.

But now, it seemed like a strategic shift was underway?

All of a sudden, Li Mu experienced a realization...

*This game’s plot was truly driven by players and NPCs, rather than being pre-determined by the developers.*

At most, the developers provided a framework, and all developments adapted to the changing storyline.

*This is what a real virtual game is!*

Compared to "Elf Kingdom," other games with rigid and fixed plots seriously lacked a sense of immersion.

After sighing a bit internally, Li Mu looked at Alice and asked solemnly,

"So... what do you need me to do?"

Looking at Li Mu’s serious demeanor, Alice was very satisfied. She nodded secretly and smiled, saying,

"Lord Li Mu, you have a high reputation among the Chosen Ones. I’d like to entrust you to lead other Chosen Ones to renovate the temples across regions, changing the symbol representing the World Tree to that of the Life Scepter, and renaming the temples to ’Life Temples...’"

"Moreover, the esteemed Mother Goddess’s titles also need to be updated. Additionally... please select a group of Chosen Ones to assist us in compiling the ’Life Scripture...’"

As she finished speaking, a task notification popped up in front of Li Mu.

[Ding—]

[You triggered the main quest: "Life Goddess"]

[Quest goal: Renovate the Goddess temples in Chosen City, Feilengcui, Rivendell, Black Dragon Castle, and other locations. Assist the Life Priests in compiling the new ’Life Scripture.’]

[Quest requirement: The renovated temples should ensure solemnity and dignity while differentiating from historical Natural Temples, embodying the three divine roles of ’Life,’ ’Nature,’ and ’Elves.’]

[Quest requirement 2: The compiled scripture would be rated by the system, with a full score of 100; the scripture’s score would directly affect quest rewards.]

[Quest time limit: Unlimited]

[Quest participants: Unlimited]

[Quest level: Unlimited]

[Quest rewards: Experience points (up to 30,000 points), contribution points (up to 5,000 points), lucky draw tickets (up to 10 tickets)]

Damn! The rewards are pretty generous!

But... this quest content is intriguing. We even have to compile a book?

Li Mu wore an odd expression.

"So, can you complete it?"

Alice tilted her head slightly, looking at Li Mu with a subtle expression.

"Of course! Consider it done!"

Li Mu subconsciously stood at attention and saluted.

Main quest! Accept it first, think later!

Besides, this quest could conveniently expand the influence of the Heart of Nature!

Li Mu didn’t hesitate to choose to accept the quest, and simultaneously, the relevant system announcement flashed across all players’ interfaces in floating text.

"Then I’ll leave it to you."

Alice drew the symbol of the Life Scepter on her chest and said,

"May the Goddess be with you."

"May the Goddess be with you!"

Li Mu mimicked the new symbol, drawing it as he spoke.

After receiving the quest, Li Mu hurriedly left.

His chat channel had already been blown up with private messages.

Watching his departing figure, Alice muttered to herself puzzledly,

"I can understand the Mother Goddess wanting to change titles, but why does compiling a new scripture also require the involvement of the Chosen Ones?"

She clearly remembered that although these Chosen Ones were loyal to the Mother Goddess, they weren’t her believers...

Could they truly understand the teachings of the Mother Goddess?

After thinking for a while, Alice still couldn’t figure it out and eventually gave up.

"Perhaps... the esteemed Mother Goddess has her own reasons."

"Mother Goddess is so wise and magnificent. Her decisions must have a deeper meaning. That I cannot fathom the intentions of the esteemed Mother Goddess shows my training as a Holy Daughter still falls short..."
