Global Deities: Rising as Wood Elves' God

The potion that enabled Elves to undergo Bloodline Evolution had been proven real.

This news spread like a hurricane through the cities under the Elf Alliance’s control.

Countless Elves living in Moon City, Green Grass City, and Lake City, upon learning this confirmed news, all wanted to join the Elf Alliance’s army and do their part!

Faced with these eager Elves, Zhang Yi simply instructed Elf Legion Commander Feiyana to screen them carefully.

As long as they were confirmed not to be enemy spies and passed the trials, they could join the Elf Corps.

The goal was to complete the military expansion before the arrival of spring next year.

With the help of Stuck, the Director of Intelligence, news that the Neutral Elf City had been conquered by the Elf Alliance—an alliance formed from the small southern Elf Tribes—had been suppressed.

But no matter how long they could suppress the news,

they could keep it secret through the autumn and winter,

but they couldn’t stop the new Elves the Moon Elves would send to investigate come spring.

And once spring passed,

Zhang Yi would only have one final year left in this Small Magic Plane!

In his final year, Zhang Yi had to go all out.

Victory in the final great war,

whether he could kill the Moon God, then the Elf God, and seize the Divine Position of "Elf,"

all depended on his plans for this last year!

...

Several days had passed since the widely admired spectacle of the Bloodline Evolution.

The original members of the Elf Corps had since returned to their respective units.

However, the Elves who had actively surrendered to the Elf Alliance after Zhang Yi’s Elf Corps conquered the Neutral Elf City

had heard nothing since completing their Bloodline Evolution under Zhang Yi’s arrangement.

Several days passed without any orders, leaving these Elves very anxious.

Rethof was no exception!

But he couldn’t just rashly barge into Moon City’s City Lord’s Mansion to ask for answers.

Fortunately, on the seventh day after their Bloodline Evolution, an Elf Guard finally came to their door,

giving their group—the Elves who had once managed the various affairs of the Neutral Elf City—an opportunity to go to the City Lord’s Mansion.

Rethof was notified by an Elf Guard,

and as he made his way to the City Lord’s Mansion in Moon City, he was filled with apprehension.

Fortunately, as he walked,

he saw other former colleagues, Elves he recognized but didn’t know well.

This helped Rethof to gradually calm down.

But then,

as the Elves went in one by one,

and came out one by one,

and especially when the Elves who had arrived with him

had all gone in and come back out,

he began to panic when he was the only one left!

「Inside the City Lord’s Mansion.」

Zhang Yi and Elf Queen An Nobel were inside.

"As per the great God of Nature’s command, experienced Elves have been chosen in the Divine Realm to manage its affairs, both large and small."

"I have made the necessary arrangements, so there won’t be any issues within the Divine Realm."

"From now on, I will manage the three cities in the rear, handling logistics for the great war that may come in the next year."

"As for the Neutral City, our bridgehead, that will be left to Naver to manage."

"All the qualified Elven officials have now been selected, leaving only Rethof."

"Great God of Nature, shall I have Rethof come in now?"

The entire City Lord’s Mansion in Moon City was staffed by Elves from the Divine Realm, so Zhang Yi naturally had no fear of being exposed.

Zhang Yi, controlling Elf High Priest Shamiel, nodded.

"Come in."

Led by an Elf Guard, Rethof entered the City Lord’s Mansion.

As soon as he saw High Priest Shamiel seated above, along with the other figure he had heard about—Elf Queen An Nobel, who managed the three cities—

Rethof hurriedly knelt.

"Greetings, Elf High Priest Shamiel and Elf Queen An Nobel!"

While Rethof was bowing, Zhang Yi took the chance to check his profile after his Bloodline Evolution.

[Name: Rethof]

[Clan: Natural Elf (Bloodline Evolution x1)]

[Level: Upper Class Clan]

[Level: Sixth Level]

[Profession: Guard Army]

[Skills: Solid as Fortresses, Unmoving as a Mountain]

[Talent: Natural Affinity, Magic Affinity]

[Power: 31]

[Agility: 37]

[Constitution: 33]

[Intelligence: 36]

[Spirit: 36]

Evaluation: A qualified member of the Elf Guard Army whose strength has slightly increased. With him around, your city walls will be as solid as fortresses!

"Rise."

Zhang Yi only allowed him to rise after he had finished checking Rethof’s profile.

The profile confirmed Zhang Yi’s earlier suspicion: Rethof’s aptitude was indeed quite good.

When dealing with an Elf of Rethof’s strength,

Zhang Yi’s current power meant he no longer needed to play games.

Zhang Yi got straight to the point:

"If I send you back to the Neutral City to assist City Lord Naver in managing the entire city, are you confident you can do it?"

Rethof jolted upon hearing Zhang Yi’s question.

In response to Zhang Yi’s directness, Rethof’s answer was just as simple and straightforward:

"I can!"

"Excellent!"

"After you return to the Neutral City, you will resume your post as commander of the Defense Army. You will follow the orders of Elf Legion Commander Feiyana and protect the Neutral City. Understood?"

"Understood!"

Rethof had expected to undergo several evaluations before being given a position. He never imagined he would be restored to his former post after just a single question.

As for having to be under the command of Elf Legion Commander Feiyana,

that didn’t matter to him.

Her strength surpassed his, and she had far more experience.

Rethof was quite satisfied with this outcome!

The reason Zhang Yi reinstated Rethof so quickly was also very simple.

When Zhang Yi had opened Rethof’s profile earlier, he had also checked his faith.

Rethof was now one of the Fanatic Believers.

This level of faith was sufficient for him to hold an important position.

Even if Rethof were told right now

that they were actually worshiping the God of Nature, not the Elf God of this Small Magic Plane,

he would be able to keep the secret without wavering.

In the hands of any Divine Being, Fanatic Believers were a pillar of power!

Having dealt with matters in the Small Magic Plane,

Zhang Yi’s consciousness, which had been possessing Elf High Priest Shamiel,

temporarily returned to the Divine Realm.

This was because the Magic Metal Cabinet—the one protected by a Triple Magic Array that Elf Legion Commander Feiyana had discovered in the Neutral Elf City’s treasury—had been sent back to the Divine Realm.

Elf Legion Commander Feiyana had told him about it, and Zhang Yi was very curious to know what was inside!

’With so many layers of protection, the item inside has to be incredibly valuable!’

Once the Magic Metal Cabinet arrived in the Divine Realm,

Zhang Yi directly condensed his Divine Power into a glittering golden Divine Power Long Spear.

The next moment, Zhang Yi controlled the Divine Power Long Spear to pierce a corner of the Magic Metal Cabinet, prying one of its sides open.

Zhang Yi saw what was inside.

"Source of Storms!"

Zhang Yi cried out in astonishment.
