Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree

"In history, there had been attempts by True Gods to kill Them, but each time after killing Their real bodies, They would reawaken in Hell..."

"Hell's Seven Demon Gods are different from other Evil Gods, as they control the seven layers of Hell and have fused with the essence of the Hell Plane."

"This kind of fusion limited Their further strength, but also bestowed Them with the power of infinite revival."

"As long as the corresponding Hell Plane isn't destroyed, They will never truly die."

"The Hell Plane is hidden within the endless abyss, no True God could withstand the erosion of abyssal power and sneak in unharmed. Even if one managed to enter, they would lose the power to destroy Hell while resisting the abyssal forces..."

"Historically, True Gods who have attempted this either couldn't withstand the erosion of abyssal forces and fell into being an Evil God, or their power was suppressed, leading to them being countered by Hell's Seven Lords..."

"Therefore, what the gods can do regarding Hell's Seven Lords is to lure their real bodies out, find a way to seal them, rather than utterly kill them."

"So, if Eve underneath wanted to kill Azazel, it's likely not realistic, and it might expose your true identity even more..."

"The best choice would be to lure Him into the Divine Domain, absorb His power, and seal His true body again."

"However, because I need to focus on dealing with several other Evil Gods, I fear I cannot offer much assistance in dealing with Azazel..."

"Of course, I can help you conceal your identity."

"If my judgment is correct, Azazel should now have two suspicions regarding your identity: You're one of my avatars, or a newly supported True God by me."

"I'm going to use my channels, through various implications, to lead your identity towards being a new True God."

"Newly born True Gods are weak, which might make Azazel lower His guard, and then generate the idea of finding your true body and devouring your power..."

"And that would be your opportunity."

"Lady Eve, I wish you success, and I wish for our collaboration to be pleasant!"

Hela's message ended there.

And after listening to Her transmitted message, Eve fell into contemplation.

"So Holder is in contact with three other Evil Gods, and Hela has already made her preparations..."

*"The Plague Lord? If I remember correctly, Hela has a divine role in 'disease', could it be... that's one of the reasons She values this war? In every way, 'plague' seems to be a sub-divine role separated from 'disease'."*

*"And the Fallen Undead, I don't believe that as the true ruler of the undead, Hela would genuinely tolerate other beings controlling them against Herself..."*

*"However, Hela seems to have had plans for a long time. Just not sure how She plans to do it."*

*"If Hela could cause a stir in the Underworld, it wouldn't be bad, just enough to mitigate the influence brought by my confrontation with the Seventh Demon God."*

*"But the fact that Hell's Seven Lords can infinitely resurrect... that's something my World Tree inheritance hadn't mentioned."*

*"Seems that trying to silence is not feasible..."*

*"However, from another perspective, perhaps an undying Demon God could be more useful to me."*

*"Of course, the prerequisite is that I can successfully seal Him."*

*"Hela's proposal aligns with my thoughts, but waiting for them to come to me seems a bit passive and feels unrealistic."*

*"The player's defeat of the Half-Beast Army surely has spread across the Underworld, including the news of Uller's Demigod Avatar's destruction, which certainly would cause them to be wary."*

*"Perhaps... I could change my approach and take the initiative."*

Eve took a deep breath, and a clear plan gradually formed in Her mind.

And while Eve was planning on how to seek power from Demon God Azazel, the advancement quota given to several players by Her stirred up an uproar among them...

In the Chosen City.

"Brother Mu, Brother Mu! Have you seen the official forum?! Hu Lu and his group seem to have received an incredible reward!"

Dema excitedly ran to the Nature's Heart Guild's base, finding Li Mu, who was researching magic item forging with Meng Zhihan.

Dema and Li Mu had already reached level 40 during the war in the Underworld.

They no longer felt pressured to level up, spending most of their time accumulating contribution points in their own ways to exchange for the ultimate graduation gear, or finding some other fun.

"A reward? What reward?"

Li Mu was slightly taken aback.

These days, he was absorbed in making magical items, hoping to improve the silver robe he had taken from the Half-Beast Jushan, and wasn't really paying attention to the forum.

"It's a silver rank advancement! The lousy developers are going to open the silver ranks! However... it doesn't seem fully open, still requires specific quotas, and Hu Lu's group got it through completing tasks!"

Dema said.

He spoke while feeling envious,

"So envious... that's silver rank! Ah, just leveled up to 40 not long ago, seems like I'm about to fall behind again. Isn't this game in the closed beta?! Why open new levels so fast? Wouldn't it be better to save it for the open beta to make money?"

Silver rank advancement?

Li Mu raised his eyebrows.

He immediately opened the game system, logged into the official forum, and found the post Dema mentioned.

In fact, no search was needed, as the post had already been pinned to the top. Though it was released less than 24 hours ago, the comments had already surpassed a hundred thousand!

And the title of the post was quite attention-grabbing:

"Hidden Quest Gains Advancement Quota! Silver Rank is Opening!"

Li Mu calmly opened the post and began to browse.

The post was made by Hu Lu, detailing the hidden quest experience of the bento team and the rewards they received, with the most attractive being that silver-patterned scroll—advancement transfer quota (reserved).

"Huh? Advancement transfer? After the next update? Silver rank is really opening? But it doesn't seem like it's open to the whole server."

Li Mu was a bit surprised.

He flipped through the comments and found they were quite polarized.

One group expressed strong anticipation for the new rank, while the other complained that the opening of the new level was too fast.

The biggest controversy, however, was the way the new rank was being opened.

Wanting to level up with a quota restriction? Not everyone can advance?

Isn't this too unfair? Or, does it destroy the balance of the game?

Having played the game for so long, players understood the substantial difference between Silver Professionals and Black Iron Professionals, let alone a larger gap!

In short, regarding this issue, the comment section was about to explode, with all sorts of opinions emerging, making it quite lively.
