Chapter 1221 - Chapter 1221 Chapter 785 Why Isn’t He Excited

Chapter 1221: Chapter 785: Why Isn’t He Excited? Chapter 1221: Chapter 785: Why Isn’t He Excited? “Ah, so it is an Ancient God with God Status, how did you lose?” Anthony asked.

Copper Spear angrily said, “Just like this and that, I lost.”

“It does sound a bit lame, too careless,” Anthony commented.

Copper Spear not accepting defeat, retorted, “That was an Ancient God, an Ancient God with God Status. It is normal to lose. He’s a cheater.”

Anthony waved his hand and called out, “Drosa.”

“Ah, Lord Anthony, you called for me?” Drosa floated over.

“Show your God Status,” Anthony said.

“Okay.” Drosa manifested his God Status.

Anthony introduced him, “Wanderer Drosa, do you recognize him?”

Copper Spear shook his head forcefully, although he did not recognize him, he could tell that the other party was an Ancient God; how could there also be an Ancient God with God Status here?

“Dimali, come here and display your God Status.”

“Alright, Lord Anthony.” Dimali floated over.

After showing a few more, Anthony finally said, “All the Ancient Gods in our team have God Status, what’s there to be so surprised about? This false god has only fifty or sixty thousand followers, its God Status is practically useless. You couldn’t even defeat an Ancient God with a useless God Status, if that’s not lame, what is?”

“I… you… I…” Copper Spear was so rebutted he was at a loss for words, instinctively feeling something was wrong, but couldn’t immediately figure out what it was.

Anthony didn’t care about him, and after speaking, he pushed him to the side.

Ange had already examined that God Status and after checking, he released the other party; clearly, from Ange’s perspective, this God Status no longer posed a threat.

The God Status formed a figure, a human female, but upon seeing her appearance, both Anthony and Negriss subconsciously remarked, “Elf?”

The figure across looked at Anthony and Negriss and lightly wiped her face, her skin turned black and pointy ears grew out, transforming into a Dark Elf.

Then she bowed slightly, “Mother of Shadows, Lofty, greets the Law Breaker.”

Negriss slapped his side and said, “I knew it, there are Dark Elves among the elves of the Master Plane, how could there be no Dark Elves among the Void Elves? It’s illogical; now it turns out they’ve been hiding here.”

Anthony was even more puzzled, “You know us?”

“Of course, speakers for the Law Breaker, your fame has spread throughout the entire Void, echoing incessantly through the endless dimensions and ageless time,” Lofty said respectfully.

Negriss said half believingly, “Is it that exaggerated? The entire Void? Fame spreading? It seems like we haven’t really done much.”

Lofty’s face twitched, somewhat helplessly, “You jest, my lord. Capturing the Ancient God Hunter, exterminating the Chaos Holy Spirit Legion, infuriating the Abyss Origin so much that it itself stirred, yet unable to do anything to you, and even had to reluctantly sell wares at your shelter, and how many lives your shelter has protected, everyone has seen.”

Negriss, hands on hips, asked with some surprise, “Were we really that incredible?”

“Indeed, my lord, your fame is widespread. By the way, my lord, how may I address you?” Lofty asked.

Negriss got angry, still talking about their widespread fame, yet he didn’t even know his name?

Lofty awkwardly said, “In the spread of your esteemed name, it was only mentioned that you are the ‘Little Fat Dragon’ next to the Law Breaker…”

“Hmph!” Negris glared at Lofty and pulled out a small notebook to write something down.

Lofty still didn’t understand the gravity of the situation, and she was already being recorded in the notebook by the interpreter.

Anthony, smiling, asked, “How do you receive these messages? Why are you called the ‘Mother of Shadows’? How long have you possessed God Status? Why did you attack us?”

Lofty cooperated fully with the replies, “Because my previous followers were primarily Dark Elves, and since the God of Tree died, I sheltered them for a while, and they trusted me very much, so I awakened to God Status.”

“How long is ‘a while’?” Anthony asked.

“Several tens of thousands of years,” Lofty thought for a moment, then said.

Anthony nodded in understanding, it was much like Aesclis, who, by sheltering elves over time and earning their faith, awakened to God Status through the accumulation of time.

The only difference was that Chris was reincarnated as a Necromancer in order to have enough time. This Lofty was an Ancient God herself, possessing a significantly long lifespan.

“Although my God Status is the ‘Mother of Shadows,’ I am also a Honey Elf of the God of Tree. We Honey Elves have a special way of transmitting information called the Honey Spirit Net, and I learned of you through the Honey Spirit Net.”

“Honey Spirit Net? Honey Elves? You all? Are there many like you?” Negris exclaimed.

“Yes, there are many of us. We once spread throughout the entire body of the God of Tree, cleaning moss, vines, dirt, and also helping it gather flower nectar and maintaining dimensional boundaries. We are numerous,” Lofty said.

“Wow.” Negris was astonished, considering the massive size of the Tree of Ten Thousand Realms, and how many Honey Elves there must be to cover the entire Divine Tree?

Anthony, puzzled, asked, “But I’ve never seen a being like you. Do all Honey Elves look like you?”

Lofty shook her head. “Our true form is like this.” After saying that, she leaped forward and instantly transformed into a plump ball of light, somewhat like a glowing puffball, very adorable.

However, seemingly not fond of this appearance after demonstrating it, Lofty quickly changed back.

Anthony and Negris exchanged looks and shook their heads. In the sanctuary, they had not seen Ancient Gods that looked like that.

“So the appearance you have now is not that of a Honey Elf, but a manifestation of your God Status, is it?” Anthony asked.

“Yes, it is. The Dark Elves imagined me this way, they thought I should look like this, so I took this form. Later on, when I sheltered these humans, they thought I should look humanoid,” Lofty said.

Anthony nodded in understanding; deities at the initial stage adapt to their followers’ imaginations and define their forms accordingly. Only when a faith system reaches a certain level of development does the Master God define their style, like the Holy Light is the style of the Church of Light, which invokes thoughts of purity and sanctity when seen.

This indicated that Lofty’s faith system was still at a very primitive stage. Considering that her followers numbered only fifty to sixty thousand, and even if counting past Dark Elves, it probably couldn’t compare to even one thousandth of the Church of Light’s following, making it tough to develop any mature system.

After understanding her situation, Anthony asked the question he most wanted to know, “Why did you attack us? Knowing the name of the Law Breaker, why would you dare to attack us?”

This question puzzled Anthony for several minutes, unable to make sense of it–if they didn’t know about them, that would be one thing; but knowing they were Law Breakers, why still launch an attack?

Lofty’s face turned red with embarrassment, and she stuttered, “If I say I didn’t know about your arrival at all, or that those fools would attack you, would you believe me?”

“… If that is really the case, then your death could be very unjust,” Anthony said with sympathy.

Going to die? Lofty’s legs gave out, and she knelt on the nest floor, urgently said, “Please don’t kill me, I am willing to seek redemption. I am willing to offer the Nectar of the Divine Tree and beg for your forgiveness.”

After saying this, Lofty noticed that Anthony and the others remained very calm. Something wasn’t right, this reaction wasn’t right. The Nectar of the Divine Tree! They weren’t excited to hear this?

Other Ancient Gods would go mad for the Nectar of the Divine Tree. With the God of Tree dead for so long, the Nectar of the Divine Tree was diminishing – why weren’t they excited? Could it be they hadn’t heard of the Nectar of the Divine Tree?
