Next was the usual deceased survey and review session.
Isabelle found the apostle who had not yet sunk into the Sea of Mass, and after communicating with him, she relayed to Lu Yao sentence by sentence.
“My lord, this [Elf God] is a trainee deity that has only appeared in this Era, and He is collecting faith in order to enter the Hall of Gods as soon as possible.”
“There are three types of His miracles, one is [Microscopic Shrinking], which will shrink the target by a hundred times, and although it can’t affect other attributes, it takes an extremely long time to make the opponent move. This miracle consumes a lot of Flame of Faith, and every time it unfolds, it requires a slight rest before it can be cast again.”
“The second is the [Mist Spirit], which is capable of creating a [Mist Spirit]. There is no limit to this one, and the mist spirit can only last for a period of time, after which it will disappear.”
“The third is [Hurricane], being able to control the power of the wind.”
Lu Yao listened.
It really didn’t seem to be [Whistle Blower]’s Genus God.
As a new player, this [Elf God] was quite strong.
Isabelle continued, “Papalucas has created a special god kingdom in the clouds, and its [Tenguyun] ability can maintain a small fog island.”
“The idol of the elf god is hidden in the clouds, floating on the edge of this new northern continent.”
“Papalucas was a cloud giant that was punished by the Kingdom of Roses for not receiving enough rainfall in the past and was sealed in an ancient bottle. The elf god found it and released it, transformed it into an apostle, and also allowed it to maintain Misty Island.”
“Papaloukas found humans from various islands, and the elf god then unfolded miracles and [the Kingdom of God], gradually transforming them into believers ……”
Unlike the gods Lu Yao had dealt with previously, the Elf God had never wanted to get close to believers.
His strategy was to stand tall and always remain in the safety of the clouds. He had Papaloukas bring some people to the God’s Kingdom in the cloud and then perform miracles, creating intimidation and awe through this manoeuvre.
The advantage is stealth and simplicity.
That’s why the followers of the elf god are quite scattered, with only the prophets and heroes leading a group of regular followers, all of whom are also hidden in the snowy mountains all year round.
The purpose of the Elf God initiating the attack on the Ice and Snow Trolls was to control the Troll Elders, conquer this group of Trolls, and then drive them to take control of the entire Northern New Continent.
After a long build-up, the elf god was ready to leave from the edge of the world and march into the land.
As a result, in his first battle, he encountered Lu Yao, who was spectating the opening of the Dragon’s Nest and was passing by in passing. One could only say that he wasn’t very lucky.
There was one thing that made Lu Yao care.
How did the Elf God save up so much faith?
Did it just …… hard save every day?
“My lord, Papaloukas said that the elf god relies on the sacred texts to gain more faith.”
The so-called sacred canon was a ritual that the elf god had come up with.
From time to time, Papaloukas would bring the Apostles to the Cloud Kingdom of God so that they could make a pilgrimage to the idol of the god. This is when the elf god moves to perform a miracle.
The most common method is to first sweep a person away with a hurricane and then summon a [mist spirit] to replace his person. The apostle would then tell the little people that this believer had been honoured as a Servant of the Divine Kingdom because of his devout faith.
Alternatively, one could have Papaloukas use [Taking off the Clouds and Driving Mist] to manipulate the clouds and fog to create all sorts of magnificent and grandiose strange sights, so that the believers would be so immersed that it would be difficult for them to distinguish between the real thing and the fake thing.
Such a personal experience is simply mind-blowing to the villain of the pixel world.
As a result, holy texts often result in fervent worship by believers, and the elf god is then able to collect faith in the same group of people over and over again.
But this didn’t last long.
Soon the devotees had become so accustomed to the greatness of the gods that it was difficult to create fanaticism.
After stepping into a bottleneck, the growth of the elf god’s faith came to a complete halt. Only then did he launch an external conquest, starting with the ice trolls of the nearest land.
“…… The Elf God wants to increase the population and faith by formally expanding externally, and He wants to centrally place believers on this land.”
Lu Yao understood.
The elf god wanted to go ashore.
The Holy Scripture was the [Festival of the Falling Sun] that he had forcibly created. The over-eagerness to squeeze the faith out of every single member of the population directly overdrew the potential of the believers ahead of time.
Lu Yao still preferred the festivals that the little people came up with on their own.
Nowadays, the [Falling Sun Festival] continued to provide itself with faith, though not much, just a few dozen to a few hundred at a time. However, it was a fine stream, growing steadily as the population increased.
All in all, the elf god’s attempt to transition from making quick money failed.
Lu Yao was interested in the Cloud Giants.
In the Blast Furnace World, Cloud Giants travelled in clouds and were a type of Nature Elf. It was a great waste for the Elf God to use it for battle.
Cloud giants are great helpers for farming!
Lu Yao launched an invitation to the Cloud Giant, but was politely refused.
Isabel euphemistically relayed, “Papalucas said that it is very grateful for your recognition and appreciation, but it is really tired of fighting. It would be remiss and shameful to become an Apostle and not engage in battle.”
“With the fall of the elf-god, it is no longer willing to fight.”
Lu Yao immediately recalled.
The Cloud Giant had a [Battle Aversion] trait.
No wonder that in the Blast Furnace World, as soon as they saw that the Blood Knights and Dwarves were about to get real, the Cloud Giants panicked and were unwilling to fight, even initiating peace talks.
Lu Yao retreated and invited Papaloukas into the ghost city of Saniro.
There was no need to fight over there.
Sanilo is a city populated by ghosts, most of whom went through all kinds of hard work and battles in their lives, and is now a sort of retirement home for transcendental beings. A former apostle like Papaloukas, with his gentle nature, fits in well over there.
This time Papaloukas agreed.
Isabel takes its dead soul all the way to the ghost town.
The Cloud Giant officially enters Sanilo and is warmly welcomed by Mayor Chapman.
Papaloukas becomes a weatherman here, turning into a counterpart of ground weatherman Shahan, dropping rain from time to time on the farmlands and forests outside the city.
After busy wrapping up the subsequent follow-ups of the Divine War, Lu Yao let out a long breath.
Divine players were fancy, especially in terms of how to fail, which gave Lu Yao a lot of inspiration.
On the contrary, Snowman got a trophy from the elf god that he hadn’t had time to look at yet.
Lu Yao opened the props bar and moused over the long drop-down bar to find the last one.
……
[Martyr’s Seal LV2]: +1/hour to Faith.
By placing a seal on a believer, after a period of time, that believer will become a [Martyr] and complete martyrdom.
……
Seeing this prop, Lu Yao understood everything.
It was no wonder that Faith rose so quickly in the early stages of the Elf God.
He was using the population as fuel. When there was a lack of faith, the believers were simply stampeded and turned into martyrs for self-sacrifice.
Most of the gods who entered this fragmented world only saw it as a springboard. They make their first bucket of gold, save up enough faith and ascend into the pantheon of gods for a higher ceiling.
Currently, Lu Yao was the only one who viewed this place as his own land and got down to business.
Therefore, while the Elf God wanted to create martyrs to drain the last of his faith, Lu Yao wanted to erase the Martyr word.
Hemera’s self-sacrifice was still fresh in Lu Yao’s mind.
Most of the little people were hardworking in life, busy participating in construction and labour, and it was time for them to enjoy the fruits of their labour after death. Saniro was the place prepared for them to relax.
Speaking of which, it’s been a while since I’ve paid attention to the situation over in Saniro.
Lu Yao turned his viewpoint over Ghost City.
This look filled his head with questions.
The city of Saniro, now minus the ghosts of the aborigines, had other transcendental beings strutting around in it, strolling and strolling.
Lu Yao alone saw sandworms, dwarves, corrupters, cave monsters, and even a previous enemy, the man-eating crab, a small elf from the far south …… They were in twos and threes and seemed to be used to hanging out in this city.
What the hell is Sanilo doing?
Lu Yao noticed that Mayor Chapman was around a couple of man-eating crabs.
This mayor introduced, “Saniro City has a long history, is sheltered and favoured by Lord Yao God, has beautiful scenery, suitable and relaxing life, and has always welcomed friends from all walks of life to settle here. It’s just that because the city is small, there is a shortage of housing in the city.”
“Through the unremitting efforts of the citizens, the city has now been expanded, and the construction of the outer city has been officially completed, so all of you are very welcome to come and settle here. As long as you purchase a residence, you will enjoy the status of a resident of Saniro City!”
Lu Yao was dumbfounded.
Probably this was called the Mayor seeing things the same way.
Sanilo has joined the fight for population, clearing out the city’s housing stock.
Unlike Salt City, the fight here is for transcendent beings of all stripes, with exclusive access to a much wider blue ocean, and a complete lack of rivals who can compete.
Lu Yao was also quite excited about the future of Saniro.
