It was a nut-like seed, like a small light bulb that would shine in the palm of the elf princess, like the brightest emerald star in the night sky, attracting everyone's attention.

Only the elves understand what it means - the seed of the World Tree, Garanord, the symbol of elven kingship!

In addition to the prestige of the people, the former princess of Roseanne served as regent as an unmarried woman, and the World Tree seed bestowed by the goddess of the earth also represented the trust of the gods. Only a daughter recognized by the goddess can take over the supreme kingship of the Whispering Forest!

"Your future has infinite wonderful ......," the goddess smiled and comforted the slightly overwhelmed Princess Iryan, signaling that she could slowly think about her future life.

Only then did the priests react. The blessing ceremony has only just begun, and they have made the chosen people line up in an orderly procession, and the devout believers step forward one by one to receive the blessings of the goddess.

In the past, when people walked to the altar one by one, the gentle branch of the sacred tree, which was as gentle as a new sapling but was actually tens of thousands of years old, would bloom with the blessing power that the goddess bestowed on everyone. People inscribe it on their bodies with reverence, which represents an affirmation of their character, spirit, and even pursuits by the goddess. Not everyone has the opportunity to receive the blessings of the Goddess, and this precious opportunity is not a random selection without grounds. Only the kindest, strongest, and most capable of creating feats that ordinary people cannot achieve are likely to be chosen by the goddess. The goddess of the earth is great, everywhere, and always watches out for each and every one of her people!

It was no accident that the goddess herself descended to bestow the princess with the seeds of the World Tree, at least Princess Losanne and many of the priests had experienced the same miracle themselves. It's just that as far as they know, the time of the goddess's successive comings is often very short. In the descriptions of the incarnations of the goddesses of the past generations, the great Garlandia would often dissolve her avatar after giving the World Tree seeds herself. Occasionally, when he is in a good mood, he will wave his hand, and directly let the precious divine power fly into the palm of each blessed person.

But the goddess today seems to be a little different from what has been recorded in the holy scriptures for thousands of years. She smiled and watched each of the elves who stepped forward to receive the blessings, personally handing over the divine powers manifested in different runes to each person. She pulled the kneeling elves to her feet and comforted the grateful believers with the powerful contagion of divine brilliance.

Among them, there are rangers who have returned from their travels in orc tribes and human society, and there are sacrifices to spread the glory and teachings of the goddess to other races in the bitter cold land, no matter what hardships they have experienced beyond the reach of mortals, the relief of the goddess is the greatest affirmation of them!

Unlike those who are so excited that they get carried away, the priests and princesses, who know much about most of the blessing rituals in history, think more. Unless necessary, the goddess rarely performs miracles in person with the power of an incarnation. As recorded in the Holy Scriptures, the great Garandia usually disbands the incarnation after giving the World Tree seeds himself. Ordinary blessing rituals have long had a set of rules that have been passed down for thousands of years, and there is no need for the goddess incarnation to do it herself through manifestation.

As the great will of the vast land, the goddess rarely uses the means of advent to spread faith. Unless there are some unavoidable occasions, such as the Queen's coronation. And bestowing a highly condensed incarnation of divine power, the seed of the World Tree was originally a ritual in the coronation process. Only the most prominent princesses will be granted this divine honor in advance before this.

So why does the incarnation of the goddess stay in the ritual today?

The priests speculated about the goddess's intentions, but they did not dare to make conclusions.

"Your Highness Roseanne, do you think the Goddess has any other instructions? Judeon whispered beside the eldest princess, and as a well-informed druid, he also realized that today's rituals were different from those of the past.

"I've got a guess. The gentle eldest princess frowned slightly, "But I'm not sure, don't worry." Your Majesty will give further clear instructions. ”

Loxanne Garlandia thought of a possibility, but there were only a handful of such examples in the entire elven history of thousands of years. And each of them is a great influence on the entire elven society and civilization, it can be said that although they do not hold the royal power, but their influence on the elves is not weaker than the wisest kings in the past.

The problem is, there don't seem to be such outstanding figures in the audience of the ceremony this time, and although these chosen people have their own merits, they are not the kind of irreplaceable people who are destined to return to the elven kingdom. In addition to the princess who will become the queen, only the unique and extraordinary person will be given this supreme glory!

Could it be that one of these elves hides a secret that even the High Priest can't know!?

The priests anxiously waited for the goddess's further will, but the goddess incarnation seemed to devote herself to receiving each and every one of her people, patiently sending blessings containing divine light to all the elves one by one.

It was a green mass that seemed to have no physical divine brilliance. It contains an inexplicable power, completely different from the "ordinary" life force that Andrei has been exposed to in the past.

If he had to describe it, the difference between it was probably like the gap between the evil spells cast by the Evil Eye Maharaja and his dark spells, or even more prominent than that!

The moment they come into contact with the elves' bodies, these powers turn into bright green runes embedded in the skin of their wrists, shoulders, necks, or foreheads. The runes that emitted a faint divine light slowly calmed down until they were hidden in the elves' bodies, and became the same as they had been before receiving the blessing.

Only those who have received the blessing themselves can understand what a precious and powerful force is in their bodies.

The ritual was still going on in order, and more and more spirits joined the procession of the blessed with mixed gratitude, chanting the name of the goddess with satisfaction or excitement.

As the crowd at the front of the queue gradually decreased, Andre Gothales inevitably became nervous - he was the only alien race among all of them, not a dwarf or halfling who had been friends with the elves for generations, but a demon who the elves had regarded as a femme fatale for hundreds of years!

As the High Priestess had said before the ceremony, it was unclear why he had been recruited by the Goddess as a child of the abyss. Will this kind-looking and gentle Majesty suddenly tell everyone that the divine power has been distributed when it is his turn, and that everyone will come back next year?

Maybe the goddess didn't directly give a divine judgment to the demon prince, who was the elf's mortal enemy, in the face of Yudeon and Princess Luoshan, and was already very restrained? To be honest, until now, Andre still didn't feel any real sense of being called by the goddess, although everyone he knew told him with envy that this was a great thing. But when Andre got closer and closer to the "true god", he still inevitably thought about it. This particular experience may also have something to do with the fact that he never had any faith.

Anything else, his respect and faith in Galandia was very limited compared to the elves who wept so much that they wanted to "kiss the goddess's toes"—he was probably the kind of person who should be tied to a pillar and purified by fire by the standards of the Dark Ages in another world.

What strange standard did the goddess use to spread blessings?André felt that he should not be one of the chosen ones no matter how he looked at it, he was a far cry from the other elves present. Whether it is blood, identity or faith, he is undoubtedly not a qualified candidate.

But the son of the abyss, who was wise and wise, did not think that it was precisely because he was completely different from everyone present that the goddess would specially appoint him, an existence that was very special in the Whispering Forest and even in the whole of Garandia, and he himself was the only person in this world!

As the last few people walked up to the altar in an orderly manner, Andrei's heart almost rose to his throat.

But Princess Luoshan, who witnessed this scene behind him, had brighter and brighter eyes, and even when it was Andre's turn to step forward at the end, His Highness, who had always maintained grace in the past, could no longer suppress the emotions on her face, and she was holding her breath and staring at the child of the abyss in front of the altar.

André walked up to the altar sweating, daring to stare at the face of the goddess at a distance from face to face. Her figure was even more slender than Andrei had imagined, only slightly taller than the Son of the Abyss, who was still in the "growth period". The whole body exuded a hazy green divine light, and the eyes that couldn't see their pupils clearly because of the glow stared at Andre without blinking. Until the latter lowered his head slightly because of the light or the weakness of his heart.

An oppressive silence filled the sanctuary. Just like the High Priest, most of the elves didn't understand why a demon could be recruited by the goddess, and even many elves didn't realize that the goddess was standing in front of the goddess at the moment was actually a real prince of the demon world!

"You are very good, young son of the abyss......" The divine voice that had not spoken again since Her Royal Highness the princess received the blessing sounded again from the bottom of people's hearts, and even Yudeon seemed to understand what was going on, and all the sacrifices did not dare to be truly sure until this time, the goddess incarnation came for the sake of Her Highness Irion and the incredible son of the abyss in front of her!

As another person who attracted much attention in this ceremony, Princess Elori Garlandia, looked very complicated.

The Child of the Abyss, who felt the pressure on his whole body, let out a cloudy breath, at least it sounded like the goddess had called herself because she was optimistic about herself, not for some strange reason like "destroying you on behalf of the moon".

"I hope you will follow through with your faith and bring prosperity to the entire Whispering Forest and the civilized realm above the vast land......" The Goddess's slender arm swept over the branches of the altar, and in the astonished gaze of the people, the graceful branches once again bloomed with a dazzling green light that penetrated the souls of the people!!

Seed of Garanord (???)

Like a penguin that spotted a polar bear charging at him, André stared blankly at the Earth Goddess with the corners of his mouth curled, until the Goddess pulled his palm and gently pressed the sacred seed, which was more dazzling than a gem, into the palm of his hand.

Then the goddess, who had been smiling kindly, took a few steps back and pressed against the massive branch of the World Tree in the Sanctuary, and the green light dissipated from her vibrant body—the goddess's avatar of divine power was once again transformed into a part of the trunk, a slightly abstract image of an elven woman.

And the warm touch that calms the soul is still in the palm of the child of the abyss......
