Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 1208 - 789: Ancient God

Just as he guessed, the female elf was none other than Eve.

However, it was merely an avatar casually created by Eve.

Guardian?

Eve’s heart stirred slightly.

In the Segis World, there is only one type who call themselves Guardians.

They are the ancient gods who refuse to accept the system of faith and take it upon themselves to protect the world.

In Eve’s perception, the aura of this being matched one of the ancient auras she sensed that day.

Obviously, this being named Surt is an avatar descended from one of the awakened ancient gods of the Segis World.

Unfortunately, the legacy of the World Tree lacks ancient memories, and Eve did not find any information about the name Surt.

Eve’s mind was filled with countless thoughts.

And Surt continued to smile and said:

"Of course, you can also refer to us as — Ancient Gods."

As expected...

Eve nodded secretly.

She also returned the gesture and said:

"Hello, Lord Surt, welcome to the Fengyue Free Territory."

After speaking, she looked towards a certain place on the street and said:

"In Zelolan, there’s an elf-run tavern where the elf flower tea tastes pretty good, would you like a cup?"

"Elf flower tea?"

Surt raised an eyebrow.

He stroked his chin and smiled:

"Sounds nice, I’ve always been very interested in mortal food."

The two mythical figures sat down in the private room of the tavern, where the half-elf waiter served elf flower tea. Surt picked up the cup and sipped lightly, his gaze passing through the window of the private room to look at the bustling street outside, and sighed:

"So many years have passed, it’s unexpected that the civilization on the continent has also undergone earth-shaking changes..."

"I vaguely remember before I fell asleep, elves were still the rulers of the continent, yet upon waking, even the Pantheon has changed its owner..."

"Now, even the once-familiar existences are becoming less and less."

After speaking, he looked at Eve again and said respectfully:

"Lord Eve, thank you for stepping forward during the Abyss invasion. After our awakening, we heard about your deeds from various places on the continent, and this is a gift we’ve prepared to thank you for resisting the Abyss."

After speaking, he took out a shimmering cluster of light from his bosom.

That cluster of light was bright red, pulsing as if it had life.

Heart of Fire Element?

Eve’s heart stirred slightly.

The Heart of Elements, as the name suggests, is a kind of core formed by elemental force, containing rich laws and is quite precious.

Every Heart of Elements, given time, has the potential to evolve into a demigod-level elemental being.

For a True God, the Heart of Elements can not only be used to hatch a more powerful demigod envoy than usual but also serve as a precious material for crafting divine artifacts.

But unfortunately, the birth of a Heart of Elements is extremely difficult, not easy to find even for a True God.

It’s worth mentioning that one of the three True Divine Artifacts of the former World Tree, the Source of Elements, contains six Hearts of Elements.

Feeling the goodwill released by the other party, Eve smiled slightly:

"Thank you, but... as a True God, it is my duty to fight against evil, and there’s no need for a token of gratitude."

"Then consider it a gift to celebrate your ascension to power, it’s exciting to have a powerful divine presence of justice emerging."

Surt smiled.

Faced with the other party’s sincere gaze, Eve hesitated for a moment, and ultimately accepted the Heart of Fire Element.

Then, she pondered for a moment, a flash of light in her hand, revealing a golden crystal, shining brightly.

"This is..."

Surt’s eyes showed a hint of surprise.

Eve said gently:

"This is a Divine Power Crystal I condensed using life divine power, it contains rich life laws."

"I can sense that your aura seems unstable, perhaps it can help you restore your state quickly."

Upon hearing her words, Surt’s eyes widened, and a hint of excitement appeared in them.

Unlike all faith-rooted True Gods, Ancient Gods are first and foremost a form of life beyond specifications, possessing ancient god bodies that True Gods do not have.

For the awakened Ancient Gods, the law of life can indeed help them quickly recover their vitality.

Surt hesitated for a moment, ultimately unable to resist the temptation to restore his state.

A little embarrassed, he accepted it and sighed, saying:

"To be honest with you, this is indeed very helpful for us, I’ll shamelessly accept it."

"We... will remember your kindness."

And Eve then smiled and said:

"It’s just a little effort."

Receiving the Divine Power Crystal from Eve, Surt seemed quite pleased.

The two mythical beings sat in the tavern, gradually engaging in idle chatter. Surt kept inquiring about the current situation in Segis World, while Eve also learned many ancient secrets from him, both gaining something.

Surt seemed quite interested in players and also in the Elf Clan, asking Eve many questions. Eve chose some to answer.

"So they are your clansmen, I wondered why they could resist mental suggestions, it seems... you are secretly protecting them."

Surt suddenly understood.

The two mythical beings kept chatting, finding quite a bit in common.

However, whether intentionally or not by Surt, they did not talk about the World Tree or the divine war from a millennium ago.

As the sun gradually set, the ancient god who claimed to be the Guardian reluctantly stopped.

At this moment, he looked at Eve with a more friendly gaze.

Night fell, and the lights were lit in Zelolan.

Surt stood up from his seat and enthusiastically said:

"Lord Eve, it’s nice to meet you. I came here hoping to see the famous Goddess of life on the continent. Now having met you and delivered my ancient god’s gift, it’s time for me to leave."

"You are too kind. During that divine war, I also felt your presence. Even if you hadn’t come, perhaps I would visit you in the future."

Eve also smiled and said.

"Hahahaha..."

Surt laughed heartily.

The two mythical beings exchanged a few more words, and then Surt bid farewell and left.

Only after his presence completely disappeared from his faith’s domain did Eve slowly retract her gaze.

She raised her brow slightly.

So... did this ancient god visit in person just to deliver a gift and meet me?

Anything else... nothing?

...

East of Segis Continent, northwest of the Rising Sea.

This is a small continent, about the size of Fertile Plain, separated from Segis Continent by the Storm Strait.

On the continent, towering mountains, lush vegetation, full of vitality.

Between the hills and plains, there are scattered villages, various intelligent beings work in the fields.

Many among them are creatures rumored to be extinct on Segis Continent, and there are even titans over thirty meters tall, which were believed to have vanished from Segis World.

At the center of the small continent, amid the continuous mountain range, stand numerous ancient temples.

Suddenly, a flash of light appears, and a giant enveloped in flames appears before the largest temple.

Seeing the Fire Giant, the rock puppet guards on both sides of the temple respectfully saluted:

"Lord Surt."

This Fire Giant turns out to be the ancient god Surt, who has returned from Fengyue Free Territory.

Surt nodded slightly and entered the temple.

At the center of the temple stands an altar, upon which rests an ancient oil lamp.

"Lord Guy, I have returned."

Surt saluted the oil lamp respectfully.

In the next moment, the oil lamp emitted a luminous radiance, azure light rising from it, morphing into a majestic and indistinct giant face.

"Surt."

A deep and aged voice resonated through the temple:

"How was it? Did you... meet the Goddess of life?"

Surt nodded:

"Lord Guy, I did meet her."

"Is she... Yggdrasil?"

The mysterious existence known as Guy inquired once more.
