Chapter 186: Chapter 173: The Grand Sacrifice of Ten Thousand! The Enhanced Three Great Divine Positions
In Zhang Yi’s Divine Realm,
within the Wood Elf Ancestral Land,
tens of thousands of Elves gathered in the Dawn Forest, surrounding the Ancestral Land to perform a ritual!
At the very top of the Sacrificial Altar stood Elf High Priest Shamiel.
Among the Clan members kneeling below,
in addition to the first batch of the Elf Clan from the Divine Realm, a significant portion were from the Small Magic Plane.
When Zhang Yi, as the great God of Nature, announced that he would lead his Clan to a world of his own creation to escape the invasions of the Beast God and the God of the Sea,
the vast majority of the Elf Clan had readily agreed.
After all, it wasn’t as if they were being sent to a strange place alone; even entire families could go together.
However, a very small number of the Clan were unwilling to go.
Regardless of their reasons for refusal, Zhang Yi was pleased.
Those who were unwilling to go to the world created by the great God of Nature
surely had a low level of faith.
In Zhang Yi’s eyes, this was equivalent to directly filtering out a batch of Clan members with weak faith.
’One bad apple spoils the bunch!’
How could Zhang Yi not be happy about directly filtering out these "bad apples"?!
The remaining members of the Clan all had high levels of faith. Willing to go to a world under the protection of the great God of Nature, they were, at a minimum, True Believers.
This was the kind of Clan that Zhang Yi valued!
And much of the credit for this went to Elf High Priest Shamiel!
During the final year in the Small Magic Plane, Elf High Priest Shamiel had arranged various appearances for the great God of Nature.
This allowed the members of the Elf Clan, who hadn’t seen the Elf God in decades while on the Small Magic Plane,
to witness him several times in just one short year.
Moreover, every appearance
was when the Elf Clan encountered a problem they couldn’t solve on their own,
or some other difficult matter that was easily resolved through a miracle from the God of Nature.
Therefore, over the past year,
although the great God of Nature manifested his miracles a little more frequently,
the Elf Clan didn’t feel that their faith diminished due to this proximity.
On the contrary, compared to the previous exploitation by the Moon God, they felt even more grateful to a God of Nature who would actually manifest miracles to help them.
Their daily faith in the God of Nature became all the more devout!
Thus, at Elf High Priest Shamiel’s suggestion,
since the great God of Nature had brought them to a world under his protection,
sparing them from the invasions of the Beast God and the God of the Sea,
they had to hold a grand ritual to show their gratitude for this act!
Only by letting the great God of Nature see their devout hearts
would he continue to protect them in the future!
To this, even the Elves from the Small Magic Plane, who had rarely held such large-scale rituals before, readily agreed.
They even thought to themselves:
’The great God of Nature rescued us, saving us from the invasions of the Beast God’s and the God of the Sea’s Clans,
yet it never even occurred to us to hold a ritual for him.
We are so disloyal!’
So, to make up for their previous disloyalty,
the Elf Clan members showed twelve-tenths of their loyalty during this grand ritual,
all to wash away the stain of their past faithlessness!
On the Sacrificial Altar, now expanded to a full five hundred square meters, stood only Elf High Priest Shamiel.
But surrounding her were precious offerings!
Oceanic treasures, extremely rare in both the Divine Realm and the Small Magic Plane;
members of the Beastman Clan who possessed the bloodline of the Beast God;
numerous Magical Beasts with strange bloodlines and Special Abilities;
and most importantly, the most crucial items:
the Divine Corpse of an Elf God, the Divine Corpse of a Moon God, and a Sun Divine Position!
These things were placed beside Elf High Priest Shamiel.
Many other offerings, numerous but far less valuable, were all arranged in the large open space below the altar.
As the moon gradually rose to its zenith, the bonfires below the altar burned ever brighter.
Zhang Yi began to expend his Faith Value.
Compared to before, Zhang Yi’s current Faith Value could be described as unprecedentedly abundant.
So, in one go, Zhang Yi spent tens of thousands of Faith Value to create his most magnificent entrance to date!
The moon in the Divine Realm descended, as if drawn down by an invisible force. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
The dark clouds that had filled the sky were all driven away.
Accompanied by a golden, illusory figure,
an incomparably powerful pressure descended from above.
Countless Elves felt this pressure and felt the urge to kneel.
Compared to the pressure the Moon God had once unleashed upon them,
this pressure was stronger, yet gentler, and did not harm them.
On the contrary, many of the old Elves in the Divine Realm thought to themselves as they knelt on the ground:
’This time, the pressure accompanying the God of Nature’s appearance is even stronger. After killing the Moon God and the Elf God, the great God of Nature’s strength has definitely increased by a great deal!’
And with the appearance of the great God of Nature, the entire Divine Realm fell into silence!
"O great God of Nature, supreme Divine Being of the Elf Clan, protector of all things in Nature!"
"Please accept the many offerings we present to you!"
Elf High Priest Shamiel said.
[Event]: Your Elf Clan and Dwarf Clan have just held a grand ritual ceremony!
[The system has detected two types of offerings: those with Divinity and those without. The options will therefore be refreshed twice.]
[The system has detected the following among your offerings: one Divine Corpse of a Sixth Transformation Demigod Moon God, one Divine Corpse of a Seventh Transformation Demigod Elf God, and one Sun Divine Position. Three options are now available for the Host to choose from!]
[Option 1]: Natural Divine Position. Extract the essence from the two Divine Corpses and the three Divine Positions (Elf, Moon, Sun) and convert them into the Natural Divine Position. You can obtain 3% mastery of the Natural Divine Position!
[Option 2]: Enhanced Trio of Divine Positions. Extract the essence from the two Divine Corpses and the three Upper Class Divine Positions (Elf, Moon, Sun) to strengthen them. After refining them, you can gain 2% mastery over each of the three Divine Positions. The Host can either refine them personally or choose to bestow them upon others!
[Option 3]: Two Loyal Elf Subordinates. Convert the three Divine Positions (Elf, Moon, Sun) and condense the Divine Corpses of the Moon God and Elf God to transform them into loyal Elves who believe in the great God of Nature. Furthermore, these two Elves will come with the Moon and Sun Divine Positions respectively, possessing the potential to become True Gods in the future!
Zhang Yi hadn’t expected that because his Clan had offered so many items in a single ritual, his Golden Finger had split them into two categories.
Still, this was a good thing; it gave Zhang Yi two opportunities to choose.
And now, three different options lay before him.
The temptation of [Option 1] was as great as ever.
He had gone through several offerings of Talent Crystals before,
and his mastery over the Natural Divine Position had only reached 0.8%.
It was important to understand that once his mastery of the Natural Divine Position reached 100%,
he would be able to fully unleash the power of a Top Level Divine Position!
Theoretically, as long as he had enough Divine Power, he could even use the Divine Power of a Middle-Level Divine Being to unleash might that only a Powerful Divine Being could wield.
Even if Zhang Yi were only a Weak Divine Being, with his degree of mastery over the Natural Divine Position,
he could contend with a Middle-Level Divine Being who possessed an Upper Class Divine Position like the Sun or Moon!
It might even be possible for him to turn the tables and crush a Middle-Level Divine Being with a low level of mastery over an Upper Class Divine Position!
What’s more, mastering a Top Level Divine Position—the Natural Divine Position—was far more difficult than mastering an Upper Class Divine Position.
Theoretically, it seemed that choosing [Option 1] was the optimal choice.
But Zhang Yi’s gaze shifted to [Option 2].
[Option 2] not only helped him extract the three Divine Positions,
but it also enhanced the inherent mastery that came with each one, which he could gain simply by refining them.
Among them was one he had wanted for a long time, the one he had already designated as his Vice Divine Position—the Elf Divine Position!
Besides, it wasn’t as if he had no way to use the Moon and Sun Divine Positions if he took them.
He just needed to cultivate two loyal Subordinate Gods within his Divine Realm,
one a Moon Elf, the other a Sun Elf.
Then, by bestowing these two Divine Positions upon them, Zhang Yi would gain two loyal Subordinate Gods!
Compared to [Option 3], which involved investing the Divine Positions into two Elves to generate two Clan members with the potential of True Gods,
both possessing Divine Positions and being loyal
could be achieved entirely through his own cultivation methods.
Therefore, [Option 3] was the first one Zhang Yi eliminated.
The only difficult part now was choosing between [Option 1] and [Option 2].
At that moment, Zhang Yi suddenly thought of Lin Aoxue.
Then he thought about his Golden Finger.
’With my Golden Finger, I’ll have plenty of chances to get the Natural Divine Position option in the future when I kill other Divine Beings.’
’On the other hand, the chances of getting options specifically for the Moon and Sun Divine Positions are probably lower than the chances of getting one for the Natural Divine Position.’
After all, he had discovered that whenever Divine Positions were involved, there was always an option to convert them into his already chosen Main Divine Position—the Natural Divine Position!
’And I haven’t even become a True God yet.’
’Increasing my current combat power right now is the most important thing!’
[Option 2] offered a greater immediate boost to his combat power than [Option 1].
So, after a moment of hesitation, Zhang Yi chose [Option 2]!
However, after he finished making this choice,
Zhang Yi was met with a second one!
[The system has detected that the offerings contain a large number of Half-beastman corpses, Magical Beast corpses, and a small number of Elf corpses.]
[The Golden Finger will now refresh with three new options for the Host to choose from]!
Zhang Yi looked at the three options for his second reward.
