Things were just as Joy Pala had predicted.

When Elf Corps Commander Feiyana witnessed Combined Spellcasting on such a scale for the first time and saw its power, her original perception of Magic was instantly shattered.

A person cannot imagine things that lie beyond their own understanding. This saying applied equally to Elf Corps Commander Feiyana.

During previous invasions of the Divine Realm, their enemies had rarely used Magic, relying instead on the physical prowess of the Elf Warriors and their superior weapons. Although the Magic used by the Elf Mages in battle had been helpful to the Elf Corps, reducing the number of injured Elf Warriors, Feiyana had always considered Mages to be a support role. In her heart, the Elf Warriors were the true protagonists of war.

The Elf Mages also didn’t practice their Magic with Elf Corps Commander Feiyana, usually choosing places abundant in Magic Power. Furthermore, Feiyana was a general who had awakened Fighting Qi herself. She believed that no matter how powerful Magic was, it could never compare to hundreds or thousands of warriors.

But today, the two spells unleashed by the Wood Elf Mages and Fire Elf Mages through Combined Spellcasting had completely shattered her previous impression of Magic.

So *this* is the power of Magic! It can conjure a giant Tree-man dozens of meters tall, and a single punch from a Tree-man Warrior is enough to flatten several Elf Warriors. So Magic can directly manipulate the heavens, making flaming meteorites fall from the sky... a single strike creating a crater nearly ten meters wide! There’s no escape!

What Elf Mage Captain Joy Pala had hoped for would undoubtedly come to pass now that Elf Corps Commander Feiyana had witnessed the true power of Magic.

Even with Magic Ore to replenish their Magic Power and Combined Spellcasting to lessen the burden, the Elf Mages could not sustain the two High Level Spells for long. After a few dozen seconds, the two spells ended one after the other.

The cliff face was shattered. Its angle had changed from an almost perfectly vertical 90 degrees to just over 60, and it was littered with craters of all sizes. Seeing this, all the Elf Mages who witnessed the scene felt a surge of pride. The Elf Warriors and Dwarf Warriors were astonished.

Having obtained the last Silver Treasure Chest, there was still an hour left until the end of the exam. Therefore, after offering the Silver Treasure Chest to the Great God of Nature, Elf Corps Commander Feiyana swiftly commanded the entire army to return to the temporary camp. As for the bodies of the fallen, there was no time to bring them back.

By the time Elf Corps Commander Feiyana and her army had force-marched back to the temporary camp, only a few minutes remained until the end of the exam.

Back in the temporary camp, Zhang Yi opened the last Silver Treasure Chest he had obtained.

[Talent Crystal—Gold Transformation (0.03%)]: A Middle-tier Law of the Upper-tier Gold Law. After refining, it grants the Stone-to-Gold Touch ability!

Zhang Yi looked at the contents of his final Silver Treasure Chest. Now I’ve collected the five elements—gold, wood, water, fire, and earth—as well as the two rarer elements, wind, and lightning. Of course, when it comes to mastering an entire Divine Position or refining a whole Law, this is only one-thousandth, or even one-ten-thousandth, of the progress. Still, it lays a great foundation for the future!

The Natural Divine Position encompassed all sorts of elements, and mastering them would help Zhang Yi better master the Natural Divine Position itself.

DONG! DONG! DONG! DONG!

Just three minutes after Zhang Yi opened the Silver Treasure Chest, the sound signaling the end of the exam rang in the minds of every student.

"All students, cease combat immediately!"

"Treasure Chests obtained after the end of the exam will not be counted!"

"If any student attempts to falsify results or cheat using achievements obtained outside of the exam period, they will be severely punished and a notice will be sent to the entire school upon discovery!"

"Organize your forces. In one hour, a Teleportation Gate will open beside each of your Clans!"

"Everything you have found on this Broken Continent, including all Treasure Chests, is yours to keep!"

"After the exam ends, you may return to your classrooms, where your homeroom teachers will announce the rankings for each class!"

"After this exam, we hope all students will take the upcoming final exams next month seriously!"

Hearing this, most of the students stopped fighting immediately; many had already prepared for this and disengaged from the battlefield. Only a small number of students were still fighting. Upon hearing the notice, the vast majority of this group obeyed the school’s command and withdrew immediately. Only a tiny minority, who were just moments away from securing a Treasure Chest, refused to give up.

However, the actions of these students—every single move—were being recorded by the Divine Artifact Celestial Gaze Mirror. After the exam, their homeroom teachers would issue a formal criticism, which would then be announced to the entire school.

Upon receiving the end-of-exam notice, Zhang Yi spent some Faith Value to manifest a Divine Projection in the temporary camp.

The Wood Elves, Fire Elves, and Mountain Dwarves, already gathered in the temporary camp, saw the Divine Projection of the Great God of Nature appear. They all knelt at once and began to pray.

With this, the wisp of Zhang Yi’s Divine Soul was finally able to leave the body of his Holy Believer, Shamiel.

Looking down at all the kneeling Believers in the temporary camp, a grand voice boomed from the Divine Projection in the sky, "My loyal Clan, I am very pleased with your actions!"

Hearing praise from the Great God of Nature, the Clan below—whether Wood Elf, Fire Elf, or Dwarf—felt a sense of pride well up in their hearts. Their great God of Nature had praised them!

"The Teleportation Gate will appear soon and remain open for one hour. You must move all the spoils of this battle through it as quickly as possible, especially that Celestial Rong Seedling!"

"After returning to the Divine Realm, prepare various offerings. In a few days, we will hold a grand sacrificial ceremony!"

"At that time, I will bestow upon you the rewards you desire!"

"Moreover, rewards will be distributed according to merit!"

"Those among the Clan who have performed well over these past three days will be given the chance for Bloodline Evolution!"

Hearing the potential rewards that the great Elf God might bestow, all the members of the Clan who were already kneeling prostrated themselves and shouted:

"We thank the benevolent and all-wise Elf God!"

"Your greatness is known to all, and we, your Clan, will serve the Great God of Nature for our entire lives!"

After the Clan finished thanking the Great God of Nature in unison, the Divine Projection faded away. Elf High Priest Shamiel then stepped forward once more, directing the army to transport the spoils of war into the Teleportation Gate.

The first spoils to enter were twenty breeding pairs of Red Water Copper Pythons, escorted by the Elf Mage Corps, along with several hundred Red Water Copper Python eggs.

Next to enter was a large pile of small but precious items, such as the Black Iron Treasure Chests, Silver Treasure Chests, and Golden Treasure Chests they had found, the Celestial Rong Seedling, and various Magic Plants and ores.

The last things to enter the Teleportation Gate were the corpses of the various Alien Races from the three days of battle, which had been perfectly preserved by the Elf Mages’ Ice Magic. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

This was crucial evidence for the distribution of merit and receiving rewards from the Great God of Nature.
