Chapter 113: Chapter 112: The Three Races’ Offering of Minor Divine Artifacts, the Golden Finger’s Choice

When Zhang Yi entered the Divine Realm,

the entire realm was filled with a solemn, grim atmosphere!

After more than two years of Zhang Yi’s preparations, the number of Clansmen in the Zhang Yi Divine Realm had now reached 1,200.

Among them,

the Wood Elf Clan numbered four hundred,

the Fire Elf Clan numbered five hundred,

and the remaining Mountain Dwarves numbered three hundred!

The fully prepared Elf Corps and Dwarf Corps were all clad in armor that had been reforged by Dwarf Craftsmen, incorporating Red Water Copper Python Scales!

A legion seven hundred strong stood ready, waiting only for the great God of Nature to issue an Oracle!

Below the Sacrificial Altar, Elf Corps Commander Feiyana was addressing the entire army.

Atop the Sacrificial Altar, Elf High Priest Shamiel was praying and performing a ritual.

’At a time like this, Elf High Priest Shamiel is still praying and performing a ritual?’

Zhang Yi felt a flicker of curiosity, and his consciousness drifted closer.

Then, Zhang Yi’s consciousness saw and heard what Shamiel was doing.

"Oh, great God of Nature!"

"Before this expedition begins, I wish to offer a Divine Artifact forged through the combined efforts of all three clans!"

Zhang Yi glanced over and saw that there were indeed three different "Divine Artifacts!" placed beside Elf High Priest Shamiel on the Sacrificial Altar.

"These three Divine Artifacts were forged by our three clans working together, a gift for the great God of Nature!"

"We hope these three Divine Artifacts can offer some small assistance to the great God of Nature, help you achieve ultimate victory, and protect your Clans!"

...

Hearing this, Zhang Yi became quite curious as well.

’What kind of abilities would Divine Artifacts forged jointly by the Wood Elves, Fire Elves, and Mountain Dwarves have?’

When Zhang Yi looked up, he saw a verdant green bow, a blazing Magic Staff, and an enormous iron hammer!

"This verdant green bow has a bowstring woven from a branch of the Celestial Rong Ancient Tree and the fibers of various Magic Plants."

"Even this slender bowstring is sharp enough to slit an enemy’s throat!"

"It comes with Iron Arrows forged from Jade Copper Ore, a material discovered in the newly expanded areas of the Divine Realm. An Elf Craftsman has specially inscribed each arrow with Magic Runes for sharpness and penetration!"

"The Magic Staff in the middle was crafted from the huge Fire Attribute Magma Gemstone previously offered by the Fire Elves, combined with Mithril!"

"When Casting Fire Attribute Magic, it directly reduces the Magic Power cost by 30%, and the Casting speed is a full two seconds faster than normal!"

One must understand that in a duel between Mages, being able to unleash your Magic even half a second faster than your opponent means victory!

"The last item, this hammer, was forged by the Dwarves using a very small amount of Mithril mixed with a large quantity of Cold Rock Iron Ore."

"An Elf Craftsman also inscribed special Magic Runes all over the hammer."

"If a Dwarf wills it during combat, the hammer’s weight can instantly increase more than tenfold!"

’It’s an absolutely superb weapon for a surprise attack!’

"These three Weapons are all offerings for the great God of Nature!"

"We hope the great God of Nature will accept this token from his Clan and win the final victory in this battle!"

Hearing the words of Elf High Priest Shamiel and seeing the surprise his Clan had prepared for him,

Zhang Yi couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. ’My Clan is truly loyal!’

[Event]: Your Elf High Priest Shamiel has offered you Weapons forged by the combined efforts of your Clan!

[The host’s current situation has been detected. The Golden Finger is refreshing to provide three options for the host to choose from.]

[Option 1]: Three Tier Three Middle-Grade Semi-Divine Artifacts. Upgrade the three original Weapons, turning them into three Middle-Grade Semi-Divine Artifacts.

[Option 2]: Two Upper-Grade Semi-Divine Artifacts. At the cost of one Weapon, upgrade the remaining two into Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifacts. The host may choose which Weapon is consumed.

[Option 3]: One Top Level Semi-Divine Artifact. At the cost of two Weapons, the host may choose one Weapon to upgrade into a Top Level Semi-Divine Artifact!

"Oh!"

’Now this is a real surprise!’

’My Clan joined forces to forge three Weapons and offer them to the great God of Nature... I never thought this scene would actually trigger my Golden Finger’s options!’

Zhang Yi examined the three options carefully.

’In essence, these three options are just a matter of quality versus quantity!’

’If I choose [Option 1], each of the three clans gets one Middle-Grade Semi-Divine Artifact, which is enough to handle most problems.’

’As long as the opposing Divine Being doesn’t personally enter the field... even if it’s just a Descent of the Divine Soul... the three clans can handle it with their three Middle-Grade Semi-Divine Artifacts!’

’But it still won’t solve the problem of the Divine Being they worship personally taking the field!’

’But even if I choose [Option 3]... with a single Top Level Semi-Divine Artifact... I still can’t contend with the opposing Divine Being personally intervening, especially when my own power is a major stage weaker than theirs.’

So, as he continued down this line of thought,

Zhang Yi became certain of which option he would choose.

"I choose [Option 1]!"

Zhang Yi confirmed his choice.

The next moment, [Option 2] and [Option 3] vanished.

Zhang Yi’s reasoning was simple. ’My ultimate goal is definitely to see if I can attempt a Godslayer act!’

’But after choosing [Option 3]... not only would this Top Level Semi-Divine Artifact be insufficient to kill the enemy Divine Being... it could very well become a factor that encourages my own impulsiveness later on, getting me killed.’

’That’s too dangerous!’

’I still have a bright future ahead of me!’

’So, it’s better to choose to continue strengthening my Clan’s power.’

Zhang Yi had a premonition that in this "final exam" battle, some of his Clansmen would definitely become Hero units!

’At that point, my Clansmen will be able to unleash the full power of the Semi-Divine Artifacts!’

’One Clan, one artifact. While maximizing their effectiveness... it also makes me, Zhang Yi, the God of Nature, appear fair.’

’And I can take this opportunity to rake in another wave of Faith Value!’

Having thought of this,

Zhang Yi decided to act immediately.

He spent several thousand Faith Value points.

A Divine Projection from the great God of Nature appeared in the sky.

And below, the three Weapons beside Elf High Priest Shamiel suddenly vanished!

When the fully-equipped Clansmen below saw the sudden appearance of the great God of Nature’s projection in the sky,

the Clansmen below all thought that their piety had moved the great God of Nature,

causing him to appear! 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

And so, one by one, the Clansmen prostrated themselves, kneeling on the ground!

Looking at the loyal Clansmen all kneeling below, Zhang Yi deliberately waited for a moment.

After all, a little "push and pull" was necessary to make the Clan even more loyal.

When the Clan had been kneeling on the ground for several long minutes without the great God of Nature speaking,

the Clansmen below immediately began to grow anxious.

In just a few short minutes, they mentally reviewed everything they had done wrong during this period, anything that might have angered the great God of Nature. They thought through it all, so anxious that sweat beaded on their foreheads.

Finally, after descending, the great God of Nature spoke!
