Outrageous! I started as the Elf King!

Looking at the Dark Elf Queen and the Old Tree who had already completed their oaths, Lin Yi's face showed a satisfied expression.

In fact.

He was ready to conquer the Dark Elf Kingdom by force.

With his current power, conquering the Dark Elf Kingdom is no longer difficult.

Even without using his vast army, he had many ways to forcibly conquer these dark elves.

For example, let the Rock Demon Bradley take action.

Before long, the Rock Demon Bradley will arrive in the Dark Forest to deal with the demon nests to the north.

Those demon lairs are garrisoned by demons, in addition to an astonishing number of mutated creatures.

This force could easily conquer the Dark Elf Kingdom.

However, this move will inevitably bring huge casualties to the Dark Elf Kingdom, with countless Dark Elves dying at the hands of demons and demonized creatures.

Nowadays—

The Dark Elf Queen and the Old Tree were able to obey.

That would naturally be the best outcome.

Get up.

Lin Yi said, "What you need to do next is to have all your people complete the oath so that they can obtain the power of miracles."

He did not receive any notification from the system when the Dark Elf Queen and the Old Tree completed their oath.

Unlike the unicorns of Tianma Lake.

After the unicorn chieftain Hersevi and the elders took their oath, all the unicorns on the island became subjects of his territory.

Now, Denise and the Ancient Tree have sworn an oath, but the Dark Elves show no reaction whatsoever.

This means that they do not have absolute control over the Dark Elf race.

Of course, this doesn't mean they were turned into mascots by the mermaid race like Medusa and Daphne...

It's purely because of faith.

The Dark Elves are in a similar situation to Olivia; many of their members are believers.

The situation is even more dire for the Dark Elves.

A large number of dark elves worship the goddess of darkness.

Faith is loyalty.

While pledging allegiance to the Dark Elf Queen, they are equally loyal to the Dark Goddess.

Especially for those fanatical believers, it's not impossible that if they received a divine message from the Goddess of Darkness, they might betray the Dark Elf Queen.

This is the conflict between royal power and faith.

Arthas, the Sun Elf King, and the Elf Goddess also fell out over this very issue.

As they spoke, Lin Yi told Denise and the old sacred tree about the "mark of the people".

Anyone who successfully completes the oath will have the mark of the leader appear on their body.

"Therefore you can easily distinguish those dark elves who have not sworn an oath."

"All dark elves must swear an oath."

"Even those elves who fanatically worship the goddess of darkness are the same."

"For the future of the Dark Elf race, you may use some tougher measures when necessary."

"Understood, Your Majesty the Elf King!"

The Dark Elf Queen and the Old Tree nodded.

The old sacred tree is relatively peaceful.

However, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in the Dark Elf Queen's eyes; for the future of her people...

She doesn't mind using harsh methods.

Compared to the Elf Goddess, the Dark Goddess treated the Dark Elf race quite well.

At least they weren't abandoned.

But compared to the treatment Lin Yi gave them and the bright future they had, the so-called "favor" from the Goddess of Darkness was far too poor.

In fact, Denise knew very well...

In the eyes of the Goddess of Darkness, the Dark Elves were merely tools to harvest faith.

It's impossible to truly help their tribe prosper and become strong.

After all, the Goddess of Darkness is the ruler of the pantheon and a supreme god, with a vision that overlooks all the universes. How could she possibly care about a small dark continent?

She can understand the goddess of darkness.

Therefore, it's reasonable to assume that the Goddess of Darkness could understand them.

Only by following Lin Yi can their dark elf race achieve true prosperity.

With enough effort, it's not impossible for a large number of gods to appear in the future.

As for her, there is hope that she will attain a higher divine position in the future.

Denise's current mindset can be described in one sentence: "Every man for himself."

She also had her own selfish motives and greater ambitions.

I don't want to be a tool for my faith to be exploited forever.

Lin Yi asked, "How many Dark Life Trees and species does your kingdom currently possess?"

Denise replied almost without hesitation, "Your Majesty, my kingdom has a total of 3,765 Trees of Life and 147 seed trees."

Upon hearing this...

Lin Yi took a deep breath.

He knew that the Dark Elves had lived peacefully in the Dark Forest for thousands of years and must possess a large number of Dark Trees of Life.

But I didn't expect there to be so many.

The variety of trees alone is more than the number of mature trees in Olivia's area.

As for the number of mature trees, it is dozens of times greater.

The old divine tree exclaimed excitedly, "What Your Majesty just said is that a single Dark Life Tree can give birth to 15,000 Dark Elves every day. Then wouldn't our several thousand Life Trees be able to give birth to tens of millions of Dark Elves every day?"

"That's how it is in theory."

Lin Yi nodded, her lips twitching.

"theory?"

Both the old sacred tree and Denise showed expressions of understanding.

Was this Sun Elf King just trying to fool them?

Lin Yi explained, "The Dark Tree of Life is different from the Tree of Life of the Nature Elves, at least it's a little different here."

"The Tree of Life in nature can give birth to little elves."

"However, the Dark Tree of Life can only directly nurture Great Elves with professions. They are born with extremely high levels."

"Your Majesty, isn't this a good thing?"

Both the old tree and Denise had their eyes shining.

If a powerful spirit is directly conceived, and its level is not low, wouldn't that save a lot of training time?

Lin Yi said, "The Dark Tree of Life has conditions for nurturing professional archetypes; it requires energy crystals."

He waved his right hand.

A cluster of energy crystals emitting a faint glow appeared before the two of them.

"This is energy crystallization."

"It can be obtained by killing monsters and enemies."

"Two hundred energy crystals can give birth to one dark elf. You can do the math and see how many energy crystals would be needed for tens of millions of dark elves."

"Around 10 billion!"

Denise immediately spoke up.

Lin Yi nodded and said, "If I had that many energy crystals, I could naturally nurture tens of millions of dark elves."

"But the problem is that I have a severe shortage of energy crystals."

"Olivia can only produce two million little elves a day, but I don't have enough energy crystals to train them all into great elves."

"Not to mention where you are."

Seeing the disappointment on the faces of Denise and the old divine tree.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "It's alright, we'll take it one step at a time. Your kingdom has a massive army that far surpasses that of the elves. As long as you work hard to kill monsters and enemies, you can harvest a huge amount of energy crystals every day."

"I promise to use all those energy crystals on your dark elf race, to train you dark elves."

"In this way, your population can expand rapidly."

"The scale has increased."

"The harvest will naturally increase year-on-year."

"I believe that sooner or later, you will witness the spectacular sight of tens of millions of dark elves being simultaneously born!"

The old divine tree exclaimed excitedly, "If that day truly comes, how could my Dark Elf race not grow and prosper?"

Denise, standing to the side, was also breathing rapidly.

I really want to go back right now and mobilize the kingdom's army to wipe out the monsters and other evil forces in the Dark Forest.

Now, the Dark Elf clan has boarded Lin Yi's big ship.

There is no need for those former "evil allies" to exist.

Rather than letting them die on the battlefield of the chaotic plains, it would be better for them to become the energy crystallization for the development of their race.

Lin Yi said, "Alright, you all go back and prepare. I still need to go to the Demon Nest in the north of the Dark Forest."

"Heading to the Demon's Lair?"

Both Denise and the old divine tree were startled.

The old divine tree hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please do not put yourself in danger. Several god-level demons and a demon god at the peak of the mid-level true god realm are stationed in that demon's lair."

Over the years, she had been forced to deal with those demons every time the blood moon came, so she was very familiar with the situation inside the demon's lair.

"Peak of a mid-level True God?"

Lin Yi's eyes lit up, and she said, "Then we definitely have to go. If I kill him, I can immediately advance to the mid-stage of the middle-level True God realm."

Seeing that the old sacred tree still wanted to say something.

Lin Yi said directly, "Don't worry about my safety. Even if he has already reached the realm of a high-level true god, he is no match for me."

"You can go back and handle the kingdom's affairs."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Yi teleported the two of them back to the Dark Elf capital and then left.

Only Denise and the old divine tree remained, facing each other.

The old tree comforted him, saying, "Since His Majesty the Elf King is so confident, he must have something to rely on, so we don't need to worry."

"Mother is right."

Denise could only pray that nothing unexpected would happen. Now that she had placed her and her people's future on Lin Yi, she naturally didn't want anything to happen to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi's side.

He had already figured out the location of the demon's lair.

Thus, a spatial teleport appeared above the Demon Nest.

After waiting for about half an hour, a blood-red light flew rapidly from the distant horizon.

A figure could be vaguely seen within the crimson light.

It was none other than the Rock Demon Bradley.

"Owner!"

Upon seeing Lin Yi, the Rock Demon Bradley immediately bowed respectfully.

He then handed Lin Yi a spatial device and said, "Following my master's orders, I have seized three demon strongholds in the Chaotic Plains, bringing the total number of demon nests under my control to fourteen."

"This spatial ring contains the cores of those fourteen demon nests, as well as some divine stones and energy crystals that I obtained from killing demons."

Lin Yi scanned it with her divine sense.

Sure enough, they found a bunch of Demon Nest Hearts, as well as a large number of divine stones and energy crystals in the space ring.

There are thousands of sacred stones.

These are the resources for the gods' spiritual practice.

Extremely rare in the mundane world, it can be called a priceless treasure.

When Lin Yi killed the Rock Demon Bradley's true form, some of these items were also dropped, which he kept in his belt.

the most important is.

The divine stone can be used as an energy crystal.

One low-grade divine stone is equivalent to ten thousand energy crystals.

A mid-grade divine stone is equivalent to 100,000 energy crystals.

After that, there are advanced divine stones and top-tier divine stones, which are equivalent to millions and tens of millions of energy crystals, respectively.
