After hearing these words, the huge body of the oak guard shuddered again, and he genuflected, in a more respectful manner.
The oak guard gave a deep bow. His voice seemed to quiver in excitement like that of a child praised by his mother:
“Berserker, Mother God be praised!”
At the same time, Eve felt a portion of pure, warm energy coming from the oak guard. The energy seemed to pass through the space and directly enter His body. Finally, the energy entered deep inside Him, and combined with His original divine force.
Afterward, to His surprise, Eve found that He regained some of the one third of divine force that had been depleted.
According to the information in His mind, Eve thought for a moment and soon had the answer.
“The power of faith?”
The continent of Sagas was a magic world where gods existed. True gods controlled the world.
The power of gods came from faith. The faithful power of the masses came to gods and was transformed into pure divine force by the godhead of the gods.
Sure enough, his faithful power had come from the oak guard!
Revived by Eve in person with His divine force, this tree man had already become His loyal follower without a doubt. Naturally, he would offer his faithful power.
Gazing at the respectful and obedient Berserker before Him, Eve became increasingly satisfied. He felt that he already roughly knew how to regain His strength.
Thinking about this, Eve checked the data He had inherited again. Sure enough, He found the related information:
There were true gods on the continent of Sagas.
According to the sources of their power, there were two groups: the new gods and the old gods.
The new gods were also called the gods of faith, because most of them became gods afterwards. They mainly relied on the faithful power offered by their believers for the transformation of divine force and the strengthening of their divine mission. Meanwhile, they were constructing a divine kingdom, in order to improve their world of faith.
The old gods were also called mythical creatures. They were born as true gods. The source of their power was the law of heaven and earth; they were able to gain divine force from space energy or by other means.
The old gods did not need faith, but could empower themselves through faith.
And the World Tree belonged to this category.
If the World Tree was in His prime, He absolutely could get energy from space to gain divine force, or directly transform other creatures’ vitality into His own divine force.
However, at the moment, the World Tree was dying and had already lost the ability to gain divine force from space.
The dying World Tree was not able to function by Himself at all. He could only influence the outside world indirectly with His divine force. This was the reason why Eve could not take the initiative to absorb the vitality of the plants in the forest to regain His power. Because He was unable to do it by Himself now…
For the time being, the only thing Eve could think of to increase His divine force was the power of faith.
However, the faith path was not easy. From the inherited information, Eve learned that the gods of faith on the continent of Sagas had been fighting bitterly against each other for believers, which seemed to involve the downfall of the former World Tree.
Thinking of this, Eve looked toward His follower, the tree man He had made, and treasured him increasingly more…
The tree man was a fanatic believer who would become a saint!
“If only I can learn more about Berserker’s ability. It will be ideal to have his profile shown like that in a game…”
He thought subconsciously.
With this idea, Eve felt the divine force within Him slightly reducing again, but a profile containing the information about the oak guard appeared in His mind, which was exactly the same as the game profile He had just thought of!
[Name: Berserker]
[Race: Oak Guard]
[Profession: Druid]
[Ranking: 51(Intermediate Silver)]
[Faith: Eve Euktrahill]
[Religious Value: Fanatic Believer]
[Titles: The Follower of Nature, The Guard of the World Tree]
[Skills: War Sacrifice, Oak Grip, The Whisper of Nature…]
…
Eve widened His mouth in surprise.
This… makes every single wish come true?
No, this is the power of a true god!
Although Eve still found it unimaginable, He understood that with the essence of the World Tree, to a certain degree, He was already a true god now.
A true god already touched the law of the world. Although Eve had not completely mastered His power yet, He was already able to use the divine force to perform some miracles.
It was already a normal practice to obtain others’ information in His mind.
With that being the case, Eve still found it painful to feel His divine force reducing.
He felt that He was like the entrepreneur of a bankrupt listed company… 2
After checking Berserker’s information, Eve was not very satisfied.
“Intermediate Silver… is a bit low.”
With the World Tree’s inheritance, Eve had already understood the rankings of this world very well. The four power rankings on the continent of Sagas were Professional, Legendary, Half-godly, and Mythological. There were huge differences between them.
Professional, the lowest ranking, was also called Secular. There were three levels within this ranking. They were Iron, Silver and Gold. At every level, there were three stages, High, Median and Low.
Intermediate Silver was of mediocre power, at most, in the Professional Ranking. There was still a far distance from the Legendary Ranking after it.
“Unexpectedly, reviving a Intermediate Silver follower caused serious depletion. It was not a good deal…”
Eve murmured from within.
“Show my own condition!”
After thinking for a moment, He gave an order deep inside.
As soon as He came up with this idea, a similar profile appeared in His mind again.
[Name: Eve Euktrahill]
[Race: World Tree (Ancient God)]
[Ranking: 150 (Mythological)]
[Condition: Weak divine force (On the Verge of a Deep Sleep)]
[Mastery/Divine Mission: Nature, Life, Elves]
[Titles: Mother God of Nature, Goddess of Life, Master of Elves] 1
[divine force: 10/500]
[Number of Believers: 3 (Saints 0, Fanatic Believers 1, Devout Believers 1, Shallow Believers 1)]
[Skills: Communication, Bestowal, Revival, Cure, Summons, Advent…]
Who was Eve?!
Alright… He was the Mother God.
The World Tree was originally the Mother Tree of Life, and naturally a goddess.
In His former life, He had played so many peculiar computer games that He did not care about becoming a goddess now. 1
Wait… How many believers did He have?
Eve was surprised at the number of His believers. But He relaxed when He thought of those dim prayers before He had combined with the essence of the world tree.
If He was right, those voices were from His other believers.
It was miserable for His divine force to be only 10 points.
With that being the case, He had just used as many as five points of His divine force to revive Berserker!
Then, He had used one point of His divine force again to be able to see the object’s condition…
“I must empower myself… The divine force was far from enough.”
Even if Eve wanted nothing more than to regain His ability to move freely, He was happy about the increase in the number His divine force points.
The dying World Tree was a block of wood altogether. Except for His consciousness, there was no difference between Him and a vegetative being. He was downright the most miserable true god.
Eve was excited when He first came here. But He felt He would be mad sooner or later if He stood here all the time like a pole to cosplay the background…
He had to earn enough points of divine force as soon as possible to recover from the dying condition, and at the same time, create a manifestation for the Advent!
Once reincarnated, Eve could move freely within a certain range.
However, Eve checked the information and found that He had to earn 100 points of divine force to support Himself, if He wanted to use the skill of the Advent of a reincarnation!
Currently, the price was too high…
Thinking about it, Eve sighed.
He was too poor…
It was good that the faithful power offered by His believers could transform into His divine force. But Eve felt helpless as He looked at the number three.
There were just three believers, and one of them was created just now. Which true god could be more miserable than Him?
Although the World Tree was an ancient true god who belonged to the old gods and did not rely on faith solely like the gods of faith, it seemed that the only source of Eve’s divine force now was the power of faith…
By the way, where were the other believers?
Suddenly, Eve became interested.
Since I can connect with the oak guard, will I be able to contact the others?
He thought for a moment and meditated again.
Deep in contemplation, Eve went to the mysterious, green space again.
But now He already knew what the space was.
It was the godhead of the World Tree, and the divine kingdom in miniature.
At this moment, the green space was still surrounded by dim light in chaos.
In deep meditation, Eve knew He was the master here and He could manipulate and change everything in this space. But He did not try to change anything, for now His divine force was too weak for Him to use.
Besides, Eve also found three balls of green photons in the space. They were like flickering starlight.
That was exactly the connection between Him and the three believers.
Apart from these, Eve found in surprise that the amiable blue ball of light He saw before the traverse was also here.
In addition, the amiable feeling from the blue ball of light became increasingly intense!
After hesitating for a while, Eve temporarily gave up the idea to directly contact other believers, but carefully filled His consciousness into the blue ball of light.
As Eve touched it, a huge amount of data, composed of numbers and signs, instantly blasted into his mind!
“The new technology of virtual reality brought about a new tech revolution?”
“My country is superb. The virtual network will probably cover the whole country by the end of this year!”
“A professional gamer suddenly died in the game cabin after staying up for a week…”
“…”
After holding on for a few seconds, Eve hurried to cut the conveyance of information.
He gazed at the blue ball of light before Him in a daze, totally shocked–
This blue ball of light unexpectedly connected with the Internet of the blue planet in His former life!
