With a change of His vision, Eve soon “saw” Berserker’s circumstances.

At this moment, the oak guard, who was more than 30 meters high, was kneeling in an ancient wood and praying with his eyes closed.

With his huge figure hiding in the tall wood, it was hard to detect him for a while.

This guy seemed to be hiding from something… Had he met other intellectual creatures that were difficult to fight against?

Eve became anxious.

Although Berserker was currently the only candidate to explore the map, at the same time, it was also risky to let Berserker explore the unknown.

This was because other intellectual creatures could recognize the oak guard.

An oak guard was very special. As a creature revived by the World Tree, an oak guard held a position equivalent to an angel.

Once the believers of other gods knew the existence of Berserker and reported it, the recovery of the World Tree would no longer be a secret.

And once Eve showed up, the enemies of the Mother of Nature 1,000 years ago would definitely not let Him go. They would surely make a comeback.

If Eve was in good condition, it would be all right. At present, the magic power on the continent of Sagas was at a low ebb. The gods who had already stayed in heaven could temporarily not come to the secular world in their original forms, including Eve’s potential enemies.

Therefore, as long as Eve could recover enough to attain a favorable position, He could defend Himself.

However, it was a pity that He was still in a dying state now. If another god’s followers came and three or five of them were of Legendary power, He was likely to be in danger.

Fortunately, Berserker was originally a tree man and could hide well in the forest. And there were very few intellectual creatures around the forest of elves. According to Alice’s feedback, there seemed to be only one hostile orc tribe.

Only priests among the orcs could communicate with Ullr, the god of winter and they believed in.

Orc priests did not leave the tribe easily. So as long as Berserker was careful to avoid breaking into the orc tribe and killing the unlucky orcs who unfortunately saw him while exploring the forest to the underworld, he would not expose himself.

But now it seemed that… he had met an orc priest?

Had he found the orc tribe?

Eve sensed Berserker’s position and quickly rejected the speculation.

At this moment, although Berserker left the safety zone, he was only 30 kilometers northeast of Him.

If there was an orc tribe within this range, it would have exposed itself long ago.

Accordingly, Eve estimated that the orc tribe should have been at least 60 kilometers away from him.

But since it was not an orc tribe, what would it be?

Thinking of this, Eve fixed His gaze beyond Berserked, looking behind him.

He fixed his eyes on what was in the distance.

Hundreds of meters behind Berserker, there were broken walls covered with plants.

Even if they were covered with vines and weeds, the delicate lines on the marble debris could not be masked. And those stone tablets carved with ancient elf script also revealed the true identity of this ruin to Him.

“It was a city of the elf kingdom in ancient times. And according to the elf script, it should be the holy city–Florence.”

With the inheritance of the World Tree, Eve quickly came to a conclusion.

Florence was the elf city closest to the World Tree in the elf kingdom. It was also the holy place of the natural religion.

Of course, Florence was already a ruin at this moment.

In fact, Eve originally wanted to look for elf relics when He ordered Berserker to explore the surrounding area. But He did not expect to have feedback so soon.

But why did Berserker hide himself?

Had anything changed in the elf relic?

After pondering for a while, Eve decided to ask the oak guard directly.

He manipulated His divine force and entered Berserker’s mind…

While praying with his eyes closed, Berserker suddenly felt a soft, warm force caressing his heart. His excitement instantly turned into peace.

It was Mother God’s attention!

Immediately, the followers of nature understood what happened.

He bent his tall, big head even lower, his expression more respectful.

Meanwhile, Eve’s majestic, ethereal voice resounded, “Why are you so hesitant?”

Berserker became composed. He stretched out a strong arm, drew a tree symbol on his chest, and replied reverently, “Mother God, I found the former holy city–Florence. And while exploring the surroundings of the holy city, I found this…”

With that, the oak guard’s trunk split open, revealing a tree hole. Berserker put his hand in it and took out a shiny object.

It was a light green irregular crystal and a soft light was flashing from it. It seemed to have some mysterious, sacred power, which made people feel an inner compulsion to own it.

A divine blood crystal!

Eve soon recognized it with the heritage of the World Tree.

For a moment, Eve’s spirit rose with a compulsion to forcibly cast His consciousness to the scene.

As its name implied, a divine blood crystal was the coagulated blood of a true god.

For ordinary creatures, divine blood crystals were too powerful to absorb and use. But they were the best material for making divine artifacts, holy artifacts, or drawing an array of forbidden magic.

For Legendary and Demigod creatures, divine blood crystals were extremely precious, for they could analyze and study them. Divine blood crystals were the key for them to approach gods and explore myths.

For true gods, every divine blood crystal had a part of the divine force and religious knowledge corresponding to the true god, which could be completely absorbed and utilized by them. Or they could analyze the divine mission of another god!

The crystal in Berserker’s hand was exactly a divine blood crystal of an ancient World Tree!

Eve immediately guessed the cause and effect of the incident…

This divine blood crystal might have been a leftover from the war of gods 1,000 years ago.

At that time, the World Tree was besieged by the gods and almost fell. Its golden divine blood shed like rain…

This pale, green crystal was probably the product of that time.

In this 1,000 years, due to the existence of a cursing magic spell, all the divine blood crystals sealed themselves and couldn’t be sensed by others. So, it was lucky for them to remain until now.

But when Eve awakened, the magic spell disappeared. As a result, the seal of divine blood crystals also disappeared. Naturally, people began to discover the crystals with divine force.

This… was really lucky!

According to the size of the divine blood crystal, Eve thought that it could bring Him at least one point of divine force!

Eve was delighted.

But He soon calmed down.

If Berserker found a divine blood crystal, he would only need to pray and offer it to Eve. He did not have to hide himself…

It seemed that he did not finish his words…

As Eve thought of this, His holy voice resounded through Berserker’s mind again.

“How did you discover it?”

Hearing Mother God’s inquiry, Berserker did not seem surprised. He replied respectfully, “Mother God, I destroyed several Goblins, searched for their leader and found it.”

Goblins?

Eve froze for a moment.

Goblins were short, humanoid creatures with green skin and long pointed ears. They were able to make and use simple weapons and tools. They weren’t that strong, the highest being not above level 10 at the stage of apprentice.

Goblins were not popular creatures because of their low intelligence, ugly appearances, fierce temper, laziness, and low strength. Generally speaking, even gods would not regard them as believers unless the circumstances were special…

But how could there be Goblins in the forest of elves?

Eve was puzzled.

But He was relieved as He thought of the habits of these weak creatures introduced in the inheritance.

Yes, Goblins usually lived in underground caves or some relics. They had their own social order and racial groups. They had probably taken the ruins of the holy city of Florence as their nest.

Therefore, it was they who were collecting the divine blood crystals of the World Tree?

But what was their purpose of collecting these? Could it be… a power that drove them from behind?

Eve was lost in thought.

“Moreover, I have also found the traces of Goblin priests in the relics of Florence,” Berserker continued.
