Game of the World Tree

Chapter 36

The Orb of the God of Death

At the World Tree, Eve, who had just rewarded the players for their task, soon perceived Berserker's prayer of sacrifice.

He accepted it and opened the channel of sacrifice. Afterwards, a small skeleton staff appeared in the space of His godhead.

Eve was slightly delighted. He waved His big hand to send the message "Task objective 2 completed" to every player who had participated in the task through system notification and rewarded each person with three hundred contribution points.

The contribution function would start appearing when the players leveled up to level 11. At level 11, the players could use the contribution points to change their occupations and exchange skills and equipment in Eve's temple. Additionally, the players could conduct transactions with contribution points, which qualified as a monetary system at the early stage of the game.

At the beginning of the game, Eve had too few NPCs and few players. So, He could only introduce the contribution points for occupation transfers, skill learning and equipment exchange. He would start the contribution point exchange system in the temple.

In the future, however, Eve planned to gradually distribute these basic functions to other NPCs. On one hand, He would improve the communication between the players and the NPCs with this system. On the other hand, He would reduce the burden of the game system, saving divine force in the process. After the system improved and more NPCs were available, he would then only focus on the exchange of some special skills or rare equipment.

After rewarding the players, Eve focused on Guru's undead staff.

As soon as the undead staff entered the space of His godhead, Eve felt the strong palpitations again. He used divine force to touch it slightly. A purple-black energy immediately emanated from the orb on the top of the staff, which turned out to be the pure energy from the ghost elves.

Perceiving the despair and sadness of the ghosts, Eve sighed from within and purified it.

"Your nightmare is over."

With holy, soft divine force, the purple-black energy was instantly purified into elves. They prostrated to Eve, chanted the ode to nature with gratitude, turned into a huge amount of pure faith power and poured into Eve's godhead.

The purple orb also lost its original color and became crystal clear. If it wasn't for a crack on it, it would be a perfect staff.

After purifying the undead elves, Eve clearly felt that His divine force rose by five points.

Previously, the players destroyed more than two hundred Goblins, providing Him with 2.4 more points of divine force. The players offered Him another four points of divine force by destroying the goblin high priest and his undead army. They found a divine blood crystal and provided 1.5 points of divine force to Him again.

Even after factoring all kinds of consumption, His divine force now exceeded 25 points, the highest in history!

Eve was delighted when He saw His divine force going up so high.

"Destroying goblins seems to be a good method. If they can exterminate all the goblins in Florence, my divine force will increase by a few points!"

"Huh, I can ask the players to exterminate the remaining goblins in Florence after they level up and change their occupation. The remaining priests should not be a threat. The divine blood crystals they have collected should be hidden somewhere in the ruins. There must be at least four or five pieces?"

Eve thought expectantly.

"Besides, there should be six or seven more elf city ruins in the forest of elves, including the elf capital…"

"Goblins even appeared in the nearest city, Florence. Ullr might have infiltrated these areas. If I can destroy the goblins in these places, my divine force may exceed 50!"

"In addition, this is without the divine blood crystals. If I add the divine blood crystals, it is likely that I can get rid of my dying state early!"

Thinking of this, Eve was delighted and felt that He was one step closer to freedom of movement.

As He was delighted, He wanted to use divine force to transform the undead staff into a legendary staff of good quality and then put it in the exchange system of contribution points for the players to exchange.

It was not the first for Him to transform or strengthen equipment.

Eve divided the equipment on the continent of Sagas into four types: Golden legend, purple epic, blue rarity, and white ordinary.

Apart from the wooden weapons given to the players after they logged into the game, He got all the remaining equipment of the orcs killed by Berserker previously, using 0.1 points of divine force to refurbish them, He put them into the exchange system for the players to use. All of them were purple equipment.

He was now waiting for the players to start the exchange system after changing their occupation and exchanging their contribution points for better equipment.

Eve clearly knew the players' obsession with equipment. As long as this system started and more contribution points were used as task rewards in the future, the players would definitely fight as He ordered without hesitation.

Thinking of this, Eve prepared 0.05 points of divine force, intending to turn this staff into a golden legendary weapon at Iron level, which would be unique to the entire game server.

However, as soon as the divine force entered the staff, there was an unexpected scene.

The transformation of the equipment did not take place as He imagined. The orb of this staff sucked His divine force directly!

"Hum?"

Eve's heart was pounding.

Every good staff would have an orb on the top that could store magic power, but He had released divine force!

Divine force was not any ordinary power but the power of a true god. It was the most powerful form of energy of the highest quality in the world.

"What's the matter with this orb?"

Eve took a closer look at the staff again and instantly saw a clue.

"The material of the staff handle is actually devil wood? A sealing material?"

Devil wood was a special precious plant growing on the continent of Sagas. It had the effect of sealing objects. The effect of a thousand-year-old devil wood could even block the sight of a true god to a certain extent!

Eve looked carefully and found that the handle of this staff was used to seal the orb!

Previously, He just thought it was a staff that could store the energy of the undead, but He was mistaken.

"This orb is strange! Right, if it is ordinary, how could a mere goblin enslave so many undead elves!"

Eve became cautious as He thought of this.

"It seems that I was too happy after gaining a victory over the goblins."

Alerting Himself from within, Eve planned to deal with this piece of equipment again.

Ordinary objects could not absorb divine force, so he wanted to find out what this orb was.

Without hesitation, Eve took the orb from the staff and broke the seal.

After the seal was broken, the originally crystal clear orb suddenly gave off a soft glow with a vague sense of solemnity.

Eve turned solemn and used His identification ability.

To His surprise, two points of divine force were consumed. The real name of the orb appeared in His mind:

[Hela the God of Death's orb, used for storing souls (damaged)]
