Chapter 454: Chapter 436: Heart of Life

“The Creator God of this world has fallen?”

After hearing Elder Rueger’s words, the players were momentarily stunned, then their eyes lit up.

“Could it be… another connection to the Evil God?”

“Hmm, I smell the scent of an instance…”

The group whispered among themselves, their expressions tinged with excitement.

Among the five players, only Boxed Lunch maintained a stoic expression.

He kicked the teammate who was breaking the mood and looked at Elder Rueger, asking in a deep voice,

“Can you tell us the specific details?”

Seeing Boxed Lunch’s serious demeanor, the other players also became attentive.

Elder Rueger nodded gently, his eyes slightly distant, as if recalling something…

“This, it starts with the birth of this world…”

Elder Rueger sighed lightly and began to tell the players the secrets he knew.

As he spoke, the players finally understood the story of this half-plane.

Elder Rueger’s account was similar to what Lily had told the players.

Or rather, it seemed like a combination of the legends of the Divine Grace Clan and the church’s tales…

Of course, in addition to these, there were also some more hidden and detailed things.

After listening, the players, combining the various mystical knowledge they knew, had a relatively clear judgment of the myth of this plane:

A thousand years ago, a powerful being from the Eve Goddess camp led three hundred elves, crossed the void, and came here, using her own power to evolve this half-plane.

Evolve, not create.

This was the word used by Elder Rueger.

In other words, this half-plane already existed, it was just further evolved by this powerful being.

Afterward, to escape formidable enemies, this powerful being settled here with these elves.

She possessed a magical item called the “Heart of Life.”

Relying on the Heart of Life, this powerful being used her own flesh and blood to evolve a new race—the Divine Grace Clan.

And under the elves’ guidance, the Divine Grace Clan developed a new civilization in this world.

Thus, this powerful being was revered as the Creator God by all living beings in this plane, and the three hundred elves were called the Divine Race.

The core of the civilization was the church, and the church revered nature and life.

Initially, the church did not bear the name “Creation.”

And the True God worshiped by the church was not the Creator God, but a more powerful mythical being, who according to legend, was followed by the “Creator God” and had fallen into slumber.

She was called the Mother of All Gods.

The Creator God and the Divine Race shared a common goal.

That was to gather strength, counterattack the Divine Domain, and awaken the Mother of All Gods they followed.

However, the good times did not last.

As time passed, the elves noticed their life potential rapidly depleting, and the newly born Divine Grace Clan had a lifespan far below expectations.

Then, a century later, another sudden event changed everything.

As the plane developed, this world finally drew the attention of the Creator God’s enemies from the past.

With the invasion of external gods, the entire world faced a war that lasted more than a decade.

In the end, relying on her fusion with the plane’s origin, the Creator God drove the formidable enemies out of this world.

However, during this process, the Creator God revealed another secret of hers.

After coming to this world, her true aim was neither to counterattack the Divine Domain nor to awaken the fabled Mother of All Gods.

Her goal was to elevate her own status by devouring the life potential of the plane’s beings, even to the point of seizing the power of the slumbering Mother of All Gods.

In the Creator God’s eyes, the beings living on this plane were tools for her own empowerment.

She was no longer the Creator God who evolved a new world with the elves.

As the elves put it, she had fallen.

Thus, war broke out again.

This time, it was a war between the Creator God and the three hundred elves of the Divine Race.

And the final outcome was predictable.

The three hundred elves were naturally no match for the Creator God and were ultimately defeated by her.

And the Creator God devoured the elves’ life using the “Heart of Life.”

The Divine Race no longer existed in the world.

From then on, the church in this world was officially renamed the Creation God Sect.

The Creator God controlled the minds of the church members, and anything related to the elves was gradually erased by the church, with only legends of their identity as the Divine Race remaining…

Until today.

After hearing Divine Grace Elder’s account, the players felt a deep sense of lamentation and some puzzlement,

“But how does Mr. Rueger know these secrets?”

“It is the legacy of a great figure,”

Rueger replied.

“The Divine Race, which first guided the Divine Grace ancestors onto the path of civilization, was a powerful Legendary Elf whom we respectfully call the Sage.”

“Before his sacrifice, he recorded everything he knew in books, secretly stored here in our lineage, and at the cost of half his life, performed the Great Prophecy…”

“In his prophecy, this world would ultimately face destruction, accompanied by rebirth, and when a new Divine Race arrived, it would herald the return of light…”

“He also mentioned that if new elves arrived here, it would mean the Mother Goddess, the Mother of All Gods, had already awakened…”

“The new Divine Race would be the Divine Envoys of the Mother Goddess.”

“And the Mother of All Gods would be the hope for all creatures in this plane!”

“These are the core secrets of our Divine Grace Clan, known only to each generation of elders. If I were to die, the one inheriting these secrets would be Lily.”

“For hundreds of years, we have awaited the arrival of the prophesied Divine Envoys. In the prophecy, the place where the Divine Envoys would descend is the Elf Forest, which is why our lineage chose to settle here.”

“Unfortunately, the power of the church is overwhelmingly strong. For more of our clansmen to survive, we have had to protect these secrets, passing them down from elder to elder…”

Rueger sighed.

After listening to him, the players felt a sense of enlightenment,

“So that’s how it is…”

“Who would have thought this world had such a story…”

“So, the Creator God was once a sub-god or clansman of the Goddess? But she betrayed?”

“Could it be that the fragments of the Life Scepter that the boss lady wants us to find are actually the ‘Heart of Life’?”

They conversed in their chat channel.

After divulging the secrets he knew, Elder Rueger straightened his expression once more.

He took a deep breath, bowed to the players, and sincerely requested,

“Dear Divine Envoys…”

“Here, we are merely lambs being harvested for our life’s potential…”

“We can no longer go on like this…to continue like this, our fate is only doom…”

“I know that the great Mother of All Gods must stand behind you…”

“The Sage said the Mother of All Gods is the most merciful and greatest existence in this universe.”

“Please, defeat the Creator God’s scheme and carve out a new future for the world’s living beings!”

After hearing Rueger’s words, the players’ eyes shone with eagerness.

“What should we do?”

They licked their lips and asked back.

Seeing the players’ reactions, Rueger looked pleased.

She bowed once again and replied,

“It’s the Heart of Life!”

“Legend has it that to ascend further, to devour the potential of living beings, the Creator God relied on the Heart of Life!”

“Currently, she has fallen into slumber due to the aftermath of two wars centuries ago.”

“As long as the Heart of Life is taken, her scheme can be thwarted!”
