Chapter 86: Chapter 85: New Options, Descending Faith, Increasing the Clan’s Strength

At night, the Logistics unit had already prepared a resting place for the Clan.

In the very center of the temporary encampment, an altar for communicating with the great God of Nature had also been constructed.

The bodies from the small Goblin Tribe and the Giant Demon Clan encountered that morning were all neatly arranged below the altar.

The Fire Elves and Mountain Dwarves, participating in this kind of ritual for the first time, were thrilled!

They had only ever heard the veteran Wood Elves speak of it before.

After every battle, as long as the remaining corpses were offered to the great God of Nature,

the great God of Nature would bestow the reward of Bloodline Evolution.

The more corpses offered, the more people would receive the reward!

This was Bloodline Evolution, after all!

For the Dwarf Clan, it went without saying; for an individual Dwarf to achieve Bloodline Evolution was purely a matter of luck!

As for the Fire Elves, although their situation was slightly better than the Dwarves’,

the Life Essence produced annually by their former Fire Attribute Elf Ancient Tree was, at most, only enough for a few Fire Elves.

Furthermore, the produced Life Essence could also be stored.

A single portion of Life Essence could restore a critically injured Fire Elf on the verge of death back to full health.

One could say that every past Fire Elf Leader had believed the benefit of cheating death was more important than that of Bloodline Evolution!

Therefore, while there were instances of Bloodline Awakening within the Fire Elf Clan, turning them into Flame Elves, they were few and far between!

Compared to the Wood Elves, where almost one-fifth of them could undergo Bloodline Awakening to become Natural Elves,

the Fire Elves would burn with envy every time they saw it, wishing they could take their place!

And this time, the chance to do so had finally arrived!

Elf High Priest Shamiel stood upon the altar.

Below, the Wood Elves, Fire Elves, and Mountain Dwarves all prostrated themselves, praying together with Elf High Priest Shamiel for the great God of Nature to appear!

And so, the God of Nature, who had resided within the body of the Holy Believer Shamiel all day,

appeared once more under the summons of the ritual!

Sensing the emptiness within her body, the Holy Believer Shamiel

now also knelt on the ground, praying to the great God of Nature!

"O great God of Nature, your loyal Clan offers you the corpses of our enemies as a sacrifice!"

"We shall forever be the sharpest sword in the hand of the great God of Nature!"

"Wherever the great God of Nature commands, there our blades shall go!"

"Here, we offer the bodies of Goblins and Forest Giants, asking only that the great God of Nature might descend with a blessing to increase our strength!" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"Once our strength is enhanced, we will redouble our efforts to find more of the Treasure Chests the great God of Nature requires!"

Hearing the devout prayers of the Believers below,

the great God of Nature—that is, the Divine Projection manifested from a wisp of Zhang Yi’s Divine Soul—couldn’t help but nod.

"Ah, my loyal Clan!"

"All that you have done, I have seen!"

Unlike his previous god’s-eye view in the Divine Realm,

this time, Zhang Yi had truly witnessed the entire process with his own eyes.

"Your valor brings comfort to the great God of Nature!"

"Since you fight for the great God of Nature, then the great God of Nature will naturally not be stingy with this reward!"

"For this reason, in addition to the chance for Bloodline Evolution, I will also bestow other rewards to enhance your strength!"

Hearing the great God of Nature’s promise that this time’s rewards would include not only the chance for Bloodline Evolution but also a chance to increase their strength,

the Wood Elves, Fire Elves, and Mountain Dwarves all prostrated themselves even more devoutly!

The reason the great God of Nature offered more than just the opportunity for Bloodline Evolution this time was because he had discovered something.

Through the first day of battle, he got a glimpse of the bigger picture.

Although his Clan had been completely victorious,

many of the Fire Elves and Dwarves who had just integrated into the corps were still only at the First Level or Second Level of strength.

Compared to the Wood Elves, of whom nearly half had undergone Bloodline Evolution,

and even if they hadn’t succeeded,

the benefits of the attempt still greatly increased their Four-dimensional Attributes, enhancing their strength.

By this comparison, the strength of the Fire Elves and Dwarves was actually no match for the Wood Elves.

This was also why, during the encirclement of the Goblin Tribe that morning, Elf Legion Commander Feiyana had commanded them in a specific way:

The Wood Elves were responsible for intercepting them on two fronts,

while the Fire Elves and Dwarves were each only responsible for one!

If he didn’t solve this problem,

he feared that after three consecutive days of fighting,

by the third day,

everyone except the Wood Elves—

the Fire Elves and Dwarves—would be unable to withstand such a high volume of continuous combat.

And it seemed as though his Golden Finger knew what Zhang Yi was thinking, as the rewards it offered this time were different.

[Event]: Your Clan of Wood Elves, Fire Elves, and Dwarves has just held a small-scale ritual!

[Corpses of Goblins and Forest Giants have been detected as an offering from your Clan. The Golden Finger has refreshed to present three options for the host to choose from.]

[Option 1]: Bloodline Evolution x100. Grant 100 Clan members the chance for Bloodline Awakening!

[Option 2]: Strength Enhancement x150. Grant 150 Clan members the chance to increase their strength by one level!

[Option 3]: A Mix of Both. Grant 50 chances for Bloodline Evolution and 100 chances to increase strength by one level!

This time, seeing the three options,

Zhang Yi chose [Option 3] without any hesitation. He didn’t even need to think twice!

Only [Option 3] perfectly matched his intentions!

After Zhang Yi selected [Option 3],

the corpses of the two different clans in front of the Fire Elves, Wood Elves, and Mountain Dwarves instantly vanished.

In the eyes of the Holy Believer Shamiel, using the residual divine Energy left in her body by the great God of Nature,

she could see everything transform into a bloody light that flew before the great God of Nature.

Then, this bloody light constantly shifted until it transformed into the globes of light they were usually rewarded with!

As for whether Elf High Priest Shamiel would find this scene too cruel upon witnessing it?

Of course not!

Even with the great God of Nature’s protection now, and their living conditions so much better than before,

the more it was so, the more Elf High Priest Shamiel could never forget

that cold winter before they had met the great God of Nature!

Even in the future, when food was plentiful and they had no more worries,

she would only ever feel pity for the Elf Clan and, at most, any Elf allies designated by the great God of Nature. She would never feel pity for her enemies!

Meanwhile, the other Clan members kneeling on the ground below, looking up at the great God of Nature,

only felt that the great God of Nature was majestic beyond measure, not daring to harbor the slightest trace of disrespect in their hearts!

As the Divine Spirit descended its projection, a miracle manifested once again!
