Chapter 455: Chapter 437: Do We Need to Call for Reinforcements?

“The Wise One mentioned in the legacy that the Heart of Life was once the supreme treasure of the Mother of All Gods. I think… it should be what you are seeking in this world.”

“Don’t be surprised, I do not know exactly what you are chasing, but the prophecy vaguely mentions the purpose of your arrival in this world… ”

Listening to Elder Rueger’s narrative, the players looked surprised.

Yet at the same time, they were also inwardly stirred.

Because the more they listened to Rueger’s account, the more the players felt that the ‘Heart of Life’ he mentioned was very similar in characteristics and abilities to the fragments of the Life Scepter that Divine Favored Zero had described to them.

Perhaps… this might actually be the target they were searching for!

“So, where exactly is the Heart of Life? Where do we need to go to seize it?”

Looking at the Divine Grace Elder, whose face grew paler due to his physical condition yet became more excited as he spoke, the Optimist asked somewhat eagerly.

The other players also looked expectantly at Rueger.

“It’s in Segis City!”

Elder Rueger replied solemnly.

“Legend has it that the Heart of Life was hidden by the Creator God in the headquarters of the church, which is located in Segis City, the largest city in this world.”

“Segis City was the first city established by the Creator God and three hundred members of the Divine Race a thousand years ago when they descended upon this world. It is also the sacred city where she and the Divine Race lived, as well as… the place where she is said to sleep.”

“The Heart of Life… must be located somewhere in Segis City! To find the Heart of Life and thwart the Creator God’s scheming, we must go there!”

Saying this, Rueger turned around and walked towards the wooden statue in the living room.

He reached the statue, suddenly extending his hand, pried open the statue’s body, and took out a crystal-clear orb from it.

With a light sigh, he handed the crystal orb to the players, saying,

“This is a crystal orb infused with the faith of the Creator God, also left by the Wise One.”

“The Creator God has fallen asleep and cannot respond to the followers’ calls. It is said that she operates the church and draws faith relying entirely on the Heart of Life.”

“Therefore, as long as you have it, you can sense the presence of the Heart of Life in Segis City.”

*Is this the quest item?*

The players curiously looked at the crystal orb, carefully putting it away.

“Segis City is a long distance from Divine Grace Town; even by carriage, it is at least a three-day journey.”

“I will arrange a carriage for you to take you there.”

“Your identities are special, so you must not reveal your true identity. I will also ensure that Lily and the others do not disclose your identities.”

“However, this is all I can do. If I do anything more, it might easily attract attention from the church, which could bring terrible disaster to the town…”

“So once you reach Segis City, everything will depend on you.”

Rueger said apologetically.

Upon hearing his words, the players nodded understandingly.

After further discussions among themselves, Hu Lu stepped forward again, asking,

“Then, Mr. Rueger, do you know how strong the church is? Since we’ve decided to confront them, we need to know our enemy’s strength as much as possible.”

Rueger listened and did not answer directly, instead asking in return,

“I heard… you all defeated the Forest Giant Bear, the overlord of the forest, in a single strike?”

The players nodded.

“Then I suppose your strength must have reached the legendary silver tier?” Rueger said with amazement.

He took a deep breath and continued,

“With your silver-tier strength, you are already a top-tier force in this world. Even the church, perhaps only the Pope and some experienced bishops might reach the silver tier level…”

“Simply confronting the church, I think your strength, as long as you are cautious, should suffice.”

“However, the true danger lies in the location where the Creator God herself is found.”

Rueger sighed and said worriedly,

“In the Wise One’s legacy, it was once mentioned that after all pious believers die, their souls return to the embrace of the Creator God, merging with her to become Guardians…”

“Over these centuries, even though the church has become more and more unpopular, the number of devout believers returning to the Creator God’s embrace has already reached a terrifying number…”

“And these beings might awaken when you take the Heart of Life…”

“To succeed, you must secure the Heart of Life before the Guardians awaken!”

“Otherwise, you might face attacks from many Guardians!”

“At that point, you will be facing not just the church, but possibly thousands of Guardians and the eventually revived Creator God!”

Rueger said sternly.

However, after listening to his words, the players had somewhat peculiar expressions.

“Invading us?”

“Numerous Guardians?”

“Do we need to call for reinforcements?”

“Would it escalate into a massive battle again?”

“Probably not, considering it’s a five-person mission. If more players join, it might be deemed a failure, right?”

They whispered among themselves.

However, while the players discussed, a familiar voice suddenly rang in their minds,

“Don’t worry about the Guardians.”

“I have already pinpointed your coordinates.”

“If things really get out of hand, I will teleport other Chosen Ones to your location via your coordinates.”

“All you need to do is locate the Heart of Life and find where the Creator God sleeps.”

It was Divine Favored Zero.

Her voice was cool and calm, yet it subtly carried a reassuring power that almost instantly alleviated the players’ concerns about their mission.

After hearing Zero’s words, the players looked at each other, and a thought simultaneously sprang to their minds,

*Is this… the Divine Favored?*

*Able to cross-dimensionally teleport?*

How amazing!

The players were both surprised and excited.

And as they breathed a sigh of relief due to Divine Favored Zero’s promise, a new system message appeared in the vision of all online players—
