Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint.

Chapter 712 Dao Heart Broken
Celia didn't know how everyone was reacting, but she could guess.

Sure enough, not long after Melina ended her call, Monris brought a message from the Elven Royal Court.

The projections of the Elf King and the Elf Elders appeared before Celia, and Elena also arrived, joining Celia in facing the Elf Royal Court.

"You have quite the nerve to come here."

Even through the Protoss network, Celia could still feel the Elf King's wrath.

Celia smiled slightly: "I wonder what you mean by that, Your Majesty? Are you going to arrest me?"

"Hmph, do you really think we wouldn't do that?"

"Suit yourself. If the royal court wants to arrest me, there's nothing I can do about it, isn't there? However, I suggest that you wait until after the trial to do whatever you want."

The Elf King narrowed his eyes. "Oh? Is that so? What if we don't?"

"If you can afford the price, then I don't care. Anyway, I don't have anything to lose," Celia said indifferently.

Monris watched the confrontation between Celia and the Elf King, lost in thought.

Rumors have it that 'Xi's' relationship with the Elf Royal Court has suddenly soured, seemingly because there is something wrong with 'Xi's' identity.

But what exactly it was, Monris, far away in the City of Watch, had no idea.

The sixth-tier team previously responsible for 'protecting' Elena and Celia were all from the Elf King's faction. This was a great disgrace to the Elf Royal Court, and those who knew about it kept silent.

Monris noticed a conflict between the Elven Royal Court and Celia because the Elven King sensed that the Elven Royal Court's subsequent actions were somewhat strange after Celia dealt with the beast tide.

The Elf King wouldn't reveal this lightly.

Just as the saviors of the elves, Celia and Elena, had captured the culprit behind the disaster, they were told that Celia was actually a Holy Maiden of the Holy Court, whom the elves had long resented. This news dealt a significant blow to the cohesion of the empire.

The Elf King dared not speak of it and was furious about it—in short, he was in a fit of impotent rage.

Besides them, the Holy Court also knows about this matter. Those in the know are now terrified, fearing that the Holy Court might suddenly reveal it one day.

Although they had prepared contingency plans, they felt uncomfortable as long as the Holy Court did not make it public.

Meanwhile, Celia continued to cause trouble in the Elven realm...

The Elf King tried to put pressure on Celia during the call, but he found that Celia didn't care about his pressure at all. Whether it was a threat or something else, Celia didn't care at all. She said that the Elf Royal Court should do whatever it wanted, even if it revealed her true identity on the spot and said that the person being judged was fake.

In this situation, what else can the Elf King do?

After some negotiation, they could only forcefully request that Celia hand over the arrangements for the trial to the Elven Royal Court.

But before Celia could agree, Monris spoke up, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the court need not worry about the trial. The City of Watch has already made all the arrangements for Miss Celia."

Celia smiled and said, "Yes, we have already discussed with Lord Monris how to conduct the trial. There's no need for the royal court to worry about it. Of course, if you want to send someone to observe, you are welcome to do so."

The Elf King frowned, glanced at Monris, pondered for a moment, and said calmly, "Alright, I will go and see for myself what kind of person has caused such a great calamity to befall the Elven race."

……

Ultimately, the Elven Royal Court chose not to take action.

They didn't want to, and dared not, reveal Celia's true identity first; at least for now, they couldn't afford the consequences.

Conversely, if the Holy Court were to make it public, they could actually take advantage of it.

So now, they could only suppress their anger and begin to discuss with Celia, Elena, and Monris how to proceed with the trial, so that the people suffering in the disaster could vent their pent-up emotions and bring this disaster to an end.

In this regard, Celia didn't try to trip them up, and the discussion went relatively smoothly. Afterwards, the Elven Royal Court sent people to 'supervise' the trial and ensure the fairness and justice of the proceedings.

As for the two people on trial, nobody cares about them anymore.

However, the Elf King still found a time to meet with Yu Jeria, accompanied by everyone.

The Elf King looked at Ze Lissolin with a complicated expression.

"Don't you have anything to say, Lisa Lin?"

“Whether we speak or not, it’s all too late.” Ze Lissolin’s voice was calm: “We failed, it’s that simple.”

"So, you admit it?"

The Elf King slowly clenched his fist.

"You admit that you secretly planted that thing underground in the Elf Forest, you admit that you released such a massive amount of pollution and monsters, causing the Elf race..."

"You're wrong. We don't have the ability to set up that kind of magic array underground in the Elf Forest. That's something only gods can do. Our god was dismembered by an evil god, and his body was used to set up that magic array. We are just trying to save our god, nothing more."

Ze Lissalind looked calmly at the Elf King, who had spoken politely to her just a few days ago. Facing her old friend, her face remained expressionless.

"Saving the gods? What a grand term, but your salvation is bought with the lives of thousands upon thousands of dead spirits. What difference is there between your gods and evil gods?"

The Elf King's words were somewhat harsh, and a hint of pain flashed deep in his eyes.

"You're wrong. In fact, if we don't do that, once the underground magic circle explodes, the Elf Forest will suffer more than just the death of a portion of the elves."

Yu Jeria said calmly:
“The underground magic array will continue to accumulate the pollutants that have been released. Yes, a large part of your elven race’s former pollution purification methods actually accumulate in the underground magic array until one day, the body of the god can no longer bear the enormous pollution, and all the pollution and the magic puppets completely erupt. Only then can it be called a disaster.”

"You mean we should thank you?"

"Correct."

"Hehe, you're so funny."

"..."

The Elf King left with a dark expression.

Celia glanced at his retreating figure, then turned back to look at Yu and Jeria, clicking her tongue and saying, "You two are so frank. Why don't you try to argue your way out? Maybe that would save you some trouble."

"Is there a difference?"

"No difference."

If it were just imprisonment and trial, the two wouldn't be so calm and composed.

However, Celia's ability to seemingly control fragments of divine power at will allowed them to gain divine power, only to then lose it, leaving them utterly devoid of life.

Simply put, it means that one's Dao heart has been shattered.

In their view, there was only one possibility behind Celia's move—

Celia, in turn, devoured their god.

My home is gone, what's the point of living? I jumped.
