Global Deities: Rising as Wood Elves' God

With this new Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps, Zhang Yi would surely be able to soundly intimidate the Moon Elves in their coming battle. He said "Good" twice in a row, his satisfaction palpable.

"What is your name?"

"Reporting to the great God of Nature, my name is George William! You can just call me William."

William, the Legion Commander of the Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps, knelt on the ground and respectfully answered the God of Nature’s question.

"Looking at your eyes and ears, you don’t seem like an ordinary Middle Class Elf. Which line of Upper Class Elf blood flows through you?"

Hearing this question, William’s voice unconsciously rose a little. "Reporting to the great God of Nature, I have the blood of an Upper Class Elf—a Wind Speaker! And the Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps behind me—most of these Elves also have the blood of Wind Elves!"

Zhang Yi nodded. Wind Speaker was an honorific for high-ranking Wind Elves. Griffins were also Magical Creatures with the Wind Attribute. Therefore, the Elves that formed an Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps were usually Wind Elves.

"How many bloodline baptisms have you received?"

Although he didn’t know why the great God of Nature was asking this, William, the commander leading the Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps, still answered the question honestly. "Besides my second-in-command and I, none of the other Wind Elves have received a bloodline baptism!"

"What is your second-in-command’s name?"

"My second-in-command is named George Wei Yuan. He is my younger brother."

Zhang Yi nodded upon hearing this. Then, the great God of Nature asked with great solemnity, "Are you all loyal to the great God of Nature? Are you willing to offer your lives for the great God of Nature?"

Hearing this, William declared loudly without hesitation, "Of course! We are completely loyal to the great God of Nature! No matter what the God of Nature asks of us, we will absolutely accomplish it!"

"Good!"

Although the Golden Finger’s prompt had already indicated that this Elf Griffin cavalry corps was completely loyal to him, Zhang Yi couldn’t resist testing them anyway.

"Since you are completely loyal to the great God of Nature, then the great God of Nature will not be stingy with your rewards! For the next few days, don’t be in a rush to train. With the Elf Naver’s help, you should first find a place to live. After you’ve found your quarters, find a suitable training ground for yourselves within the Divine Realm.

"In particular, you must make proper arrangements for your companions, the Griffins! I suggest you arrange the Griffins’ roosts at Luqiu Ridge, east of the Dawn Forest. The mountains there are tall, yet not at all treacherous. It’s very suitable for Griffins to live there.

"Also..."

Zhang Yi went on at length, his concerns mostly focused on the Griffins. After all, once Zhang Yi passed his final exams, as long as his grades were good enough to be in the top four, he would be heading to the University Alliance Training Camp. The provincial and national exams would pit him against the top talents of the province and the entire country. The competitive pressure would be far greater than what he faced in school, so Zhang Yi wanted to preserve these Griffins and let them breed.

But to William’s ears, wasn’t showing concern for the Griffins the same as showing concern for them, the Elves? The longer the great God of Nature spoke and the more detailed He was, the more it showed He cared for them. Hearing the great God of Nature speak for so long, William, who was already loyal, now wished he could immediately mount his Griffin and conquer enemies for the God of Nature to prove his loyalty. But William knew in his heart that the great God of Nature had already given the order for them to rest well during this time, so rest well they must.

"After you’ve arranged your quarters and found a training ground in the next few days, you and your second-in-command will select the most outstanding personnel from the Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps. You will lead the group, and you will all receive an opportunity to go to the [Bloodline Evolution Pool] and undergo a bloodline baptism!"

"What?!"

William, the commander of the Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps, had been listening to the great God of Nature’s instructions, his mind filled with thoughts of how he must repay the great Elf God. But what had he just heard? After showing concern for them and their Griffins, the great God of Nature was actually bestowing upon them, at their very first meeting, the chance to enter the [Bloodline Evolution Pool] and receive a bloodline baptism!

What an incredible gift!

Their Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps had just appeared in the God of Nature’s Divine Realm and had not yet achieved a single merit. Yet the great God of Nature trusted them so much, giving them such a huge reward. This left them at a loss!

"Great God of Nature, isn’t this... somewhat inappropriate?" he asked. "We have only just arrived in Your Divine Realm, and you are already bestowing such a great reward upon us. Your other Clans will inevitably feel that it is unfair!

"Although we all deeply respect the great God of Nature and are willing to lay down our lives for Him, it is precisely for this reason that I now implore the great God of Nature to retract Your command!"

As he said this, William’s face was earnest and solemn. Clearly, even if the great God of Nature thought him ungrateful and criticized him for it, he would not give up on this. He was determined to persuade the great God of Nature to retract His command.

But when Zhang Yi saw William’s expression, heard his words, and probed his mind to confirm his sincerity, he knew these words came from the bottom of his heart. Zhang Yi’s smile grew even wider.

"That is not so! This time, letting you enter the Bloodline Evolution Pool to receive the baptism of Bloodline Evolution is not an event opened exclusively for you. It’s actually being opened for the other Elves. You are merely being included as a bonus!"

But William, the commander of the Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps, did not believe Zhang Yi’s words. He questioned him instead, "If that’s the case, then wouldn’t it be better to give all the spots for entering the Bloodline Evolution Pool and receiving the bloodline baptism to the other Elves?"

Zhang Yi smiled, shook his head, and slowly explained, "Your intentions are good, and I understand your thoughts. It’s just that this is the first time opening the Bloodline Evolution Pool, and I’ve prepared a great deal of materials. With so many Magic Potions, once they’re processed and the Magma Crystals are added, the [Bloodline Evolution Pool] cannot be paused. One Elf must enter to be immersed, one after another.

"However, the Elf Corps has always operated on the principle of ’merit must be rewarded, and mistakes must be punished.’ Many Elf Warriors have not yet achieved any merit, so how can I reward them? Every time the [Bloodline Evolution Pool] is opened, it requires so many Magic Potions, as well as precious Magma Crystals! We can’t just let the excess Magic Potions evaporate into the air and go to waste, can we?"

Hearing these words from the great God of Nature, William was finally convinced.

"Thank you, great Elf God, for your gift to us!" he declared. "But we insist! We will only accept the spots that the Elf Corps cannot use!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yi nodded. He now understood William’s character a little better.

William is someone I can entrust with great responsibility!
