Chapter 1778 - 967: Divine Artifact [World Tree’s Moonlight Holy Grail] (2)
For some reason, although Fenrir looked no different than last time, Lis felt that the goddess before him seemed quite exhausted.
Fenrir’s gaze swept across the Holy Temple, pausing for a moment on the Divine Statue that had lost its divine light, revealing a trace of sorrow.
She sighed and said to Lis:
"Previously, you conveyed through Adela that something seemed wrong with Correlon."
"I really didn’t expect Correlon would actually fall."
"We didn’t do enough to uncover Demogorgon’s plot."
Lis listened to Fenrir’s words and didn’t say much.
At this moment, no words were appropriate.
Regarding Correlon’s fall, Lis had many doubts.
But now he couldn’t actively inquire, so he just listened to Fenrir’s words quietly.
Fenrir glanced at Lis and continued:
"To this day, we still haven’t figured out why exactly Correlon fell."
"He only went to the Endless Abyss with an avatar. No matter how powerful, being killed shouldn’t affect him greatly."
"However, Correlon still fell because of it, being slain in the Endless Abyss."
"Moreover, at that time, Correlon was in his Divine Country, but he and the Divine Country fell into the Endless Abyss together."
What?
Lis was somewhat surprised.
What did he just hear?
Correlon’s Divine Country actually fell directly into the Endless Abyss?
This was somewhat too shocking!
Lis had learned quite a bit of divine secrets through the history of the Elf Clan.
But he had never heard of such a manner of fall.
When in a Divine Country, a god’s power is greatly enhanced.
Nobody could defeat Correlon when he was in his Divine Country.
But this time, Correlon’s Divine Country also directly fell from the Gaia World?
Falling into the Endless Abyss had happened before.
But those were gods turned into Abyss Evil Gods.
Yet Correlon directly fell.
No matter how powerful Correlon was, he couldn’t possibly confront the Endless Abyss.
Without a doubt, the fall of the Divine Country surely wasn’t of Correlon’s own volition.
How exactly was it done?
Lis didn’t believe that Demogorgon’s power alone could achieve such a thing.
If it could be done so easily, then none among All Gods would be a match for Demogorgon.
There must be other reasons.
No wonder Fenrir still hadn’t figured out the real reason for Correlon’s fall.
Fenrir sighed softly, looking at Lis, and said:
"Besides Correlon’s departure, two other deities have also fallen."
"After Correlon fell, they were severely wounded, and then they fell directly under the sneak attack of Beastman Gods."
"Those damn beastmen even wanted to declare war on us, but they were stopped by other gods."
Hmm?
Beastman God System?
Lis recorded this in his mind after hearing it.
"Now, we don’t have much energy to focus on the Gaia World anymore."
Fenrir looked at Lis and said:
"Demons in the Endless Abyss are gathering towards the Wanyuan Plain, and we can’t discern the movements of the Abyss Evil Gods."
"Many of our gods have been wounded to some degree following Correlon’s fall."
"We need to recover quickly, and also deal with the threat of the Abyss Evil Gods, even if the Endless Abyss invades the Gaia World, we can’t spare much strength to aid the race."
Lis nodded slightly, waiting for Fenrir to continue.
For some reason, Lis felt that Fenrir had a feeling of entrusting a legacy...
A rather peculiar feeling...
"So, we hope you, Lis, can help my clan as much as possible."
Fenrir looked at Lis and said.
"I will do my best."
In response to Fenrir’s request, Lis nodded in agreement.
He had already established a close connection with the Elf Clan. Even if the Elf Clan was heavily damaged, Lis would not abandon them.
But now it seems that the attitude of the Elf Gods appears somewhat pessimistic.
Is there something else going on?
Lis speculated silently in his mind.
It probably isn’t within the Gaia World...
Lis’s reasoning was simple, because within the Gaia World, there were few that could threaten him, who controlled the Floating City and possessed demigod strength.
In this scenario, could a greater threat come from beyond the world?
Is it the invasion of the Endless Abyss?
Or a threat from other divine beings?
Lis couldn’t be sure just yet.
Of course, it also couldn’t be ruled out that Fenrir was preemptively extending goodwill and trying to win him over.
After all, as a World Tree Favored, Lis could very possibly achieve powerful divine power.
Previously, the Elf God System’s attitude towards Lis was mostly one of expectation and optimism.
After all, World Tree Favored are naturally on good terms with the Elf Clan.
Just like the Earth Mother Goddess Shangtiya.
If Lis were to truly achieve powerful divine power, then the Elf Gods would gain a strong and reliable ally.
But that was under the premise that the Elf God System itself didn’t encounter problems.
Even if the Elf Clan and Elf God System had declined, so long as the powerful Correlon was there, the elves had enough confidence to face other races.
But now, who could have thought Correlon would actually fall?
Therefore, Lis’s existence becomes even more crucial for the Elf God System.
If Lis could join the Elf God System, he could compensate for the loss brought by Correlon’s fall.
Before Fenrir wanted to meet him, Lis had speculated this might be the case.
Upon seeing it now, Fenrir’s attitude had changed significantly compared to the last meeting.
It could almost be regarded as meeting Lis on equal footing, even "requesting" Lis to assist the Elf Clan.
Though not explicitly stated, it was undoubtedly intended to further win Lis over.
However, Lis wasn’t in a hurry to express an attitude.
What he had already done was more than enough, and even if he turned away now, no one would criticize him.
But Lis felt that Fenrir specially inviting him to the Elf Land, surely couldn’t be just for this matter.
And at this moment, Fenrir looked at Lis and said:
"As a token of our gratitude, we have something to give you."
With that, Fenrir extended her right hand gently forward, her fair palm facing up.
A golden ray of light, like the scorching sun, pierced through the top of the Holy Temple and fell, shining into Fenrir’s right palm.
At the same time, Lis saw a silver-white goblet descending with the light, slowly resting in Fenrir’s hand.
Fenrir held the goblet lightly and passed it to Lis.
Taking the goblet, Lis’s expression was solemn, receiving it respectfully.
As a demigod, he could sense that this goblet emitted an immensely powerful divine aura, containing the rule power of nature and life.
Without a doubt, this was a genuine divine artifact!
Furthermore, it was far more powerful than the [Pastom’s Stomach] Lis had obtained before.
What divine artifact was this?
Lis carefully observed the divine artifact before him.
This goblet was about a palm high, its walls made of softly glowing silver-white wood, with grain resembling flowing stars, embedded with countless tiny moonstones and star diamonds.
The rim of the cup was entwined with evergreen green vines, which Lis sensed seemed intimately connected to the World Tree Yggdrasil.
Upon receiving the goblet, it was half-filled with a milky spiritual liquid.
Lis gently shook it, noticing the faint outlines of the World Tree’s veins in the liquid, drawing closer, he smelled the fragrance of spring dew and ancient wood.
And just by inhaling the scent, Lis felt a surge of strong life force entering his body, soothing him.
"This is the divine artifact [World Tree’s Moonlight Holy Grail]."
Fenrir looked at Lis and said:
"This was previously Correlon’s divine artifact."
Lis looked at Fenrir, somewhat surprised.
Correlon’s divine artifact?
Then how did it end up here?
According to Fenrir’s previous words, Correlon should have been destroyed along with his Divine Country in the Endless Abyss.
How then did his divine artifact appear here?
Surely it wasn’t left here specifically for him?
