Game of the World Tree-Chapter 339

Why does she want the players to participate in rewriting the new holy book?

Well, there are actually several reasons for this.

In fact, the Holy Codex is similar to the Bible of a certain religion back on earth.

The holy scriptures of various faiths in Seiges document the true history of their respective Patron Deities, and while there may be some exaggeration and embellishment, they largely depict real events that transpired in the realm of the divine, providing invaluable insights into the mythology and religious culture of Seiges.

These scriptures are not only used by the gods to promote their faith but also to spread their ideologies, serving as effective tools for preaching.

The old Natures Codex of her predecessor mirrored this, with approximately four-fifths of its extensive volumes mostly dedicated to chronicling the illustrious history of the World Tree.

However, when Ev thoroughly examined the content of the Natures Holy Codex, she found out that its writing style were somewhat crude and quite rough

Well, it couldnt be helped since her predecessor didnt really place much importance on spreading her own faith.

In fact, most of her predecessors believers just formed a loosely organized religious group, and the Natures Codex was simply written by the believers themselves.

With a loosely structured church and their Patron Deity herself not that interested in her own faith, the result was that the Holy Book they created was rudimentary and wasnt that effective in propagating their faith.

Its more like a boring history book recording of the entire history of the World Tree

Generally speaking, she can still somewhat use it, but when Ev decided to change her public persona, she also decided to completely rewrite the Natures Codex.

With her donning a new public persona, everything must also be thoroughly rewritten to reflect her revised image and goals, and boundaries must be drawn between her and the old World Tree.

However, at the same time, the native elves must still be able to accept the changes without feeling alienated or disconnected from their heritage.

At this point, theres little the previous Codex can offer her, but theres much that needs to be rectified within its writings.

At the very least, if Eve wants to use her new public persona as the Goddess of Life to spread her faith, she must first enhance the persuasiveness of her own Holy Book.

And this is where the players come in handy, since in her opinion, the task of rectifying the Natures Codex could be better handled by the players instead.

Sure, the elves may have longer lifespans, but to put it quite bluntlythey are rather simple-minded and didnt much excel in the art of fooliuh, evangelism compared to the players, per se. freewe(b)novel.com

Moreover, with them having access to numerous similar Holy Books and knowledge from Earth, Ev firmly believes that the players are better equipped to handle this task.

Let the natives grasp the fundamental issues, and let the players strategize on the side; with the two combining their knowledge its bound to yield good results.

Of course, theoretically speaking, Ev could also do this herself.

But why should the leader perform tasks that the subordinates are capable of handling?

Even university mentors need graduate students to write their drafts.

She just needs to oversee it and give a score in the end.

Well, its definitely not because shes lazy and finds it tedious or anything

Really.

The emergence of this new reconstruction task quickly caused a stir amongst the playerbase.

As such, Li Mu quickly got in touch with Little Salty Cat and shared the task with Moe Moe Committee.

The guilds, Heart of Nature and Moe Moe Committee, have always had a good relationship, and the task of renovating all the temples is quite comprehensive, so its best left to Moe Moe, which is rather proficient with construction works.

These guys, after all, have built over 80% of the buildings in the Chosen City, so its safe to say theyre all very experienced in this line of work.

Although many of its members are currently busy building new residential areas to make money, they still managed to pull in some people to modify the temples.

As for the task of writing the revised Natures Holy Codex, Li Mu gathered the major Guildmasters to brainstorm together.

Initially, he had thought of monopolizing all these tasks and only letting the guild members of Heart of Nature handle them.

But considering that revising their factions Holy Book might affect the overall interests of all the players, doing so might provoke public outrage.

After careful consideration, he eventually decided to share the cake with the rest of the guilds.

In the future, all the major guilds will definitely need to cooperate with one another, especially during major battles.

And with him being the most famous field commander on the whole server, Li Mu still has to consider the opinions of his other fellow Guildmasters.

Of course, the lions share of the tasks still goes to Heart of Nature. They have the most number of participants, taking up almost half of the workload.

Alas, once they delved into the task, they found it wasnt as simple as they had initially imagined

The other reconstruction tasks might be pretty straightforward, but when it comes to the task of rewriting the new Holy Book, they soon found out that its better not to take up porcelain work without diamonds.

Assigning tasks is one thing, but actually doing them is another thing altogether.

Li Mu, along with a small group of college student players, didnt take long to finish their preliminary draft of the revised Codex by applying the method they learned from university, which involved copying-and-pasting various content spliced from many already preexisting Holy Books from Earth.

However, the system merely gave it an abysmal score of less than 30 points.

Not even a passing grade.

It was only then that they finally realized that this task wasnt easy at all, and it truly required them to write a decent holy scripture!

Many players who had the initial mentality of just going through the motions ended up giving up eventually one after another.

Seeing that they couldnt haphazardly take on this task with a half-baked attitude, Li Mu and the other Guildmasters of various major guilds really thought about it and finally decided to publicly announce a recruitment notice within the entire server and even the internet back on earth.

Specifically, they began looking for someone capable enough to handle the task of writing religious scriptures!

Professional matters should be handled by professionals after all!

In the core area of the Elven Forest, where players often gather wood and materials.

Here, two figures move with an effortless grace, engrossed in their tasks amid the tranquil surroundings.

One of them is dressed as a druid and has gorgeous equipment, obviously a veteran player, while the other appears to be a newbie, dressed in a shabby, low-level blue-class mage outfit.

Observing the pair from a distance, it was clear that the latter was leading the former, a female player who had not yet reached level 11.

They are none other than Meng Zhihan and her best friend Yuanjuan.

At this moment, the two of them are chopping trees while chatting leisurely.

Suddenly, as if the current topic of their conversation had sparked her interest, Yuanjuans eyes light up with excitement.

She sets down her axe and asked eagerly:

Revising the Holy Codex? Is it about the goddess Eve? And youre telling me the revised scriptures is going to be part of the main storyline?

Yeah, and my Guildmaster is in charge of this whole ordeal. But unfortunately this task seems quite complicated. I heard that they failed in their first attempt. They needed a score of 100, but the system only gave it 22 points. Now, hes reaching out to any players who can help write the scriptures more properly.

Meng Zhihan replied.

Yuanjuans eyes lit up noticeably upon hearing her words.

Is there a level restriction for this task?

No.

Meng Zhihan shook her head.

Yuanjuans spirits further soared, and she asks expectantly.

Hey, Menghan! Menghan! Do you think I could join? Im really interested in this! Helping the goddess write her Holy Book! If I do well, I should be able to get close to the goddess, right?

Meng Zhihan:

She rolled her eyes at her best friend and subtly twitches her mouth.

Snap out of itthis task isnt easy. My Guildmaster mentioned in our group chat that only professionals are likely be able to handle it. And writing a comprehensive holy book is quite troublesome, you know? God, who knows how long itll take

Hehea professional, you say?

Yuanjuan smirked, straightening her back.

For something like this, can anyone be more professional than yours truly?

Meng Zhihan paused and gave her friend a long sidelong glance.

You?

Meng Zhihan was about to say something when she suddenly remembered her best friends university major

Speaking of which, although they grew up together, unlike her plebeian self, who only managed to get into an ordinary second-tier university, Yuanjuan, on the other hand, is a top student.

Specifically, she is a top student at the Imperial University in the Capital.

Moreover, her undergraduate major was in a rather obscure fieldphilosophy.

But thats not all.

This girl got into grad school last year, and the direction was

Meng Zhihan widened her eyes.

Religious studies.

CAN ANYONE BE MORE PROFESSIONAL THAN YOURS TRULY?

This is a chinese saying wherein the general idea is to assess oneself before undertaking tasks. If ones abilities are limited, its best not to attempt things beyond ones capabilities
