Who told him to rush up there?.

Eli and others are now sitting in the viewing platform and can only watch the sacrificial ceremony from afar.

Although everyone present was quite powerful and could see and hear clearly even from a distance, the Elf Queen and the Elf Princess on the altar were chanting ancient elven language the entire time, and anyone who was not a professional in this field would not be able to understand.

After all, the Alliance of Hundred Races has a history of thousands of years. The common language of the continent has been improved into the common language of the mortal world, and few people except themselves study the native languages ​​of various races.

Even though everyone present here are diplomats, there are only a few who can understand Elvish. At least in the Dawn Empire's delegation, there are only three people who are proficient in Elvish, including the deputy envoy, Prince Leighton.

On the altar in the distance, the Elf Queen and the Elf Princess, dressed in gorgeous dresses, were chanting something towards the dense forest in the distance, while Prince Leighton was doing simultaneous interpretation, translating their words to the delegation, mainly to Eli.

In fact, there are ready-made templates for these sacrificial words. Each ethnic group simply replaces the names of the gods they are worshipping, and the general meaning is almost the same.

Anyway, there was nothing new in the words translated by Prince Leighton. They were nothing more than praising the selflessness and greatness of the Goddess of Life, using all kinds of beautiful words to praise Her to the best of his ability.

Although these things sounded boring, in order to perform well, Eli still sat patiently in the viewing stand.

It was not until nearly an hour later that the Elf Princess Luna stepped down from the altar and was replaced by the high priest to share the stage with the Elf Queen.

Just now it was a mother-daughter duo, but now it's a sister duo. This time not only did they change people, they were also no longer just talking. After the two strongest people from the Elf Empire appeared on the same stage, a whole circle of bonfires were lit under the altar.

It was broad daylight now, and lighting a bonfire would not make the surroundings any brighter. Besides, the elves were the most tree-loving race besides the druids. There must be a reason why they burned wood so abnormally.

Sure enough, when the bonfire burned to its most vigorous stage, the high priest on the altar waved his sleeves, and all the bonfires below the stage began to sway in the same direction.

At the same time, a strong breath of life spread out from the altar. The elven guards along the way couldn't help but show a dazed look on their faces. This was a state similar to oxygen intoxication. Elves with weaker strength could not withstand this concentration of life breath.

This extremely strong breath of life spread all the way to the viewing stand without weakening in the slightest. The purely civilian personnel in the delegations of various countries suddenly fell down, directly knocked unconscious by the overly strong breath of life.

But it is the breath of life after all, and the energy is extremely mild. It will not cause any harm to people. On the contrary, being able to absorb such a strong breath of life, let alone prolonging life, can at least eliminate some hidden injuries and chronic diseases in the human body.

Even for powerful high-level warriors, absorbing these life breaths will be of great benefit. If someone happens to be stuck at a certain stage of perfection, it may even be possible to break through with the help of it.

Just like now, in the extremely short time when this strong breath of life spread out, people among the elves and the envoys of various countries have successfully advanced one after another. Even the powerful Saint-level masters have made progress. Perhaps only Eli is as steady as a rock and does not move at all.

Because he had eaten many natural treasures with extremely rich life energy, the life energy of the same effect did not have much effect on him. Although it was not completely ineffective, it could only bring him an effect of 100 experience points. If he wanted to advance to a demigod, he still needed at least hundreds of thousands of experience points...

Everyone on the viewing stand was enjoying the baptism of the breath of life with great joy, while Eli was staring at the high priest on the altar, not because she was more beautiful than the Elf Queen next to her, nor because he had had an intimate contact with her, but because Eli felt the fluctuation of divine power when her sleeves waved.

The strength of every demigod-level strongman should not be underestimated, because there is already divinity in their power. Although it is not enough to be compared with real divine power, it is much stronger than ordinary fighting spirit and magic power.

But now the high priest on the altar was releasing more than just divine power, but the power of the real God. Eli was very curious about how she did it. You know, the energy of divine power is far beyond what a mortal body can bear, especially since the elves are inherently weak. How did she control the divine power without being blown up?
Eli was not the only one on the viewing platform who had this insight. The envoys from the Dragon Kingdom, the Sea Kingdom, and almost all the envoys from the six major empires had sensed the true divine power of the Elf High Priest. Wasn't it said that the Elf Queen was the strongest in the Elf Empire? Why did the Elf High Priest seem even more mysterious and powerful now...

The elves' ceremony was still going on, and naturally no one came to explain to them the source of the high priest's divine power. So, with full of doubts, Eli and others watched the entire sacrificial dance performed by the elves' high priest.

It was not a dance in the popular sense, but its graceful posture and elegant movements were no less than the grand dance of the human race. And the ones who could receive the dance from the high priest of the elves were naturally not the audience on the viewing stand. Her graceful dance was dedicated to the goddess of life who had protected the elves for ten thousand years.

Eli had nothing to do, so he might as well enjoy the high priestess's dance to relieve his boredom. Unfortunately, her ritual dance stopped after only ten minutes, and Eli didn't even get to see enough.

After the sacrificial dance, the high priest also walked down from the altar. This time, no elf went up, leaving only the Elf Queen standing alone on the altar.

The next moment, the Elf Queen took out an exquisite emerald green jade from her storage leg ring and held it high above her head. As she moved, the plants in the entire Elf Forest seemed to have consciousness. All the flowers, plants and trees turned towards the jade above the Elf Queen's head. Under everyone's gaze, green liquid began to ripple in the jade that was originally empty.

Eli was knowledgeable and recognized that it was an extremely rare and precious essence of life. This thing was the most top-level treasure. An ordinary person who drank a drop of it could live a hundred years without any disease or disaster. A cultivator who took a sip of it could break free from the shackles and advance on the spot. Even someone as strong as a saint only needed half a bowl to make up for his innate defects and have the possibility of becoming a demigod.

Even for a half-step demigod like Eli, if he were given a bowl of life essence, he would not only become a Buddha instantly... well, a demigod instantly, but at least he would be able to complete 80% of the process, and would only be half a step away from becoming a true peak powerhouse.

The jade on the Elf Queen’s head was just enough for one bowl. If he could drink it, Eli was confident that he would be able to break through to become a demigod and achieve a pinnacle powerhouse within half a year... no, within three months.

But unfortunately, this was a festival of the elves. No matter how reckless he was, he couldn't forcibly rob the elves' treasures in such an occasion. Moreover, the treasure was most likely used to worship the gods. Not to mention him, even the Queen of Elf was not qualified to touch it. This was indeed the case. When the jade on the head of the Queen of Elf was filled with the original liquid of life, the next step of the festival was to worship the gods.

At this step, all members of the elven tribe must participate. Except for the elven guards and important figures around the altar, the huge elven forest is full of elves kneeling on the ground. They do not need anyone to notify them. When the time to worship God comes, all believers of the Goddess of Life will feel it in their hearts.

But what was strange was that Eli was not an elf, nor was he a believer of the Goddess of Life. However, when the worship ceremony began, he felt inexplicably beating inside, and his body, which had been sitting upright, bent unconsciously. Although he did not kneel on the ground like ordinary elves, he was almost the same as the high-ranking elves who bent over to salute.

So there really is a goddess of life in my heart? I am not just pretending to please her for her remaining obsession. Is this the most brilliant actor who deceives himself before acting?
Just kidding, I'm not that professional...

Eli was indeed in awe of the Goddess of Life, the powerful deity of the pantheon, so bowing to her was nothing to him. However, this inexplicable throbbing made him a little worried. He didn't know if he was affected by the atmosphere or someone was secretly doing something to him.

But no matter what, Eli is not afraid of any open or covert moves. He has always been able to deal with any challenge head on, and has never been afraid of powerful opponents or thieves who try to trip him up in secret.

Moreover, secretly leading him to believe in the Goddess of Life was not considered a trick on him, because he still had some faith in the Goddess of Life. After all, it would be too stingy to take advantage of her blessing without even a dime of faith in her.

To respect gods is to offer your best things to gods. For the goddess of life who controls the laws of life, there is no better gift than the essence of life that is imbued with the life force of all spirits.

It's a pity that the goddess of life has fallen now. Not to mention that she has no soul left, only an obsession. Even if she still has a soul left, it is impossible for her to drink this full bowl of life liquid.

So, under the sad gaze of those who knew the value of the jade, the Elf Queen turned over the jade on her head, and the incomparably precious life fluid flowed down her crown and poured all over her body.

In the eyes of outsiders, such as Eli, this is simply a heinous act and the most extreme waste! He should be sent up quickly to lick the life essence of Her Majesty the Queen clean before it dries up...

But in my wife's opinion, for example, the high priest's opinion, this is the maximum utilization rate of the life essence. After all, 80% of the life essence has been absorbed by the large leaves in my sister's crown, and the remaining 20% ​​of the life essence will not be wasted. It will be absorbed by my sister's skin, making her more delicate, smooth and elastic, helping her to sit firmly on the throne of the most beautiful woman in the Elf Empire...

Of course, the effect of the Life Essence is far more than that. It will make the Elf Queen's already peak strength even stronger. Even if it cannot help her become the strongest person on the continent, it can at least give her the possibility of catching up with the Pope of Light.

"Elves! Druids! A bowl to the goddess of life!"

The high-pitched and loud voice of the Elf Queen came from the altar. With her legendary demigod strength, even though it was just a shout, her voice could be heard throughout the territory of the Elf Empire.

Wherever there were elves and druids, they would all take out a bowl of special fruit wine, first offer it to the sky, and then take it back and drink it all.

After they finished worshipping the gods, a powerful pressure suddenly descended from the sky above the Forest of Elves. Eli and the members of the diplomatic envoys from various countries were suppressed to the point of being speechless on the viewing stand. Even though the pressure was not directed at them, the tiny bit of breath leaking out from between their fingernails was enough to make it difficult for them to breathe and their breathing became unstable.

Is this the power of the Lord God? Even with only a thought left, he can subdue a group of Saint-level and above strong men. If this pressure did not work on the elves, Eli even felt that it could crush the legendary demigod.

Even his obsession is so terrifying, if there is still a residual soul... No wonder his residual soul can give the elves immortality for half a year. The horror of the main god-level gods is far beyond the imagination of mortals. Even Eli, who thinks he is knowledgeable and has seen a lot, can't simulate the limit of the main god's strength. But such a powerful main god has fallen at the hands of the demon god, which shows the strength of the demon race.

"Please bless me, goddess..."

For everyone on the viewing stand, the pressure of the Goddess of Life's obsession is terrifying, but for the Elf Queen on the altar and the elves in the Elf Forest below the altar, it is like a warm spring breeze. Far from feeling the suppression of the Goddess of Life's remaining aura, they can instead experience the ultimate tenderness from it.

As the Elf Queen on the altar knelt on one knee towards the depths of the Elf Forest, holding up the empty jade bowl, the pressure that had been suppressing everyone was relieved. As everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they saw countless stars falling from the sky.

It is clearly daytime now, and these tiny dots should be barely visible under the sunlight. However, even the clerks of the delegation who have just woken up can see the sky full of star-like dots with their meager abilities.

These spots of light fell with the wind and landed on every elf. This was visible to them, but not visible to the viewing platform. Wherever there were elves and druids, this kind of starlight would fall. The light spots merged with their bodies, stimulating the vitality in their bodies.

This is the final blessing of the Goddess of Life. All elves have a share of it, even though their tribe consists of hundreds of millions of elves. The druids received a weakened version of the blessing. Although it is a little inferior to what the elves received, it is still a great benefit that would make people fight for it in the outside world.

Eli came here just to get this.
