Chapter 354 - Chapter 354: 354 God’s Favorite (2/2)
She was anxious and activated a newly mastered legendary spell, casting it onto the sacred protection, yet failing to influence it in the slightest.
Gu Yang didn’t expect that his habitual use of the divine power of sky-viewing and earth-listening, to survey his surroundings, would provoke such a dramatic response.
The strength of the Elf Clan surprised him.
Weren’t the Elves said to have fallen from glory? Yet, there are over a dozen at the Unleaking Realm.
This number is almost catching up with all the Unleaking Realm experts in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
It should be noted that the territory of Great Zhou nearly covers half of the entire Divine State Continent.
In terms of land area, the Divine State Continent is much larger than the West Bank Continent.
From this, one can see how distorted the development of martial arts is in Great Zhou.
A thousand years ago, the number of Unleaking Realm experts wasn’t large due to the suppression by the Xia Emperor, a peerless expert.
After the demise of the Xia Emperor, Great Zhou was controlled by the powers backed by the Four Great Sacred Lands, suppressing any poor and grassroot families.
A thousand years ago, when the Qin Dynasty was just established, there were nine families and five major sects.
A thousand years later, there are ten families and six major sects.
Qin Family and the Academy were the only new powerhouses, not much changed among the rest of the fourteen families.
Moreover, the Qin Family were originally the royal family of the Qin Dynasty, with incomparably profound foundation.
About a decade ago, the Wu family was wiped out.
That means, over a full millennium, the only up-and-coming force not backed by the Four Great Sacred Lands was just the Academy.
This is absurd.
Among the elves here, there are two at the third layer of the Unleaking Realm.
Several at the second layer of the Unleaking Realm.
With the strength of the Elf Clan being suppressed within the Misty Forest, just how powerful should the humans, the strongest force on the West Bank Continent, be?
Facing these dozen Unleaking Realm experts and the surrounding prohibitions, Gu Yang didn’t dare to take them lightly. A divine beast incarnation flew out of his brow, it was the phoenix bathing in flames.
He spoke, “My friends, I bear no hostility.”
Before teleporting, he had pinned an Understanding Flower on his chest, a gift from Mu Jun, the Beastmaster from the Regina Continent. With it, he faced no language barrier in any world.
…
“Summoner!”
Seeing the great fire magic beast summoned by Gu Yang, the Elf Queen was greatly shocked and immediately had a dreadful presentiment.
Upon careful observation, she was filled with profound sorrow.
Among the Elf Clan, there is a special bond between mother and daughter, the higher the rank, the stronger the bond.
She used a secret method and instantly found that her daughter had formed a master-servant pact with the summoner.
A surge of anger rushed to her brain, nearly rendering her irrational.
She was on the brink of killing the evil summoner.
“Wait.”
At this moment, the Elf High Priestess Regina held her back and spoke with an incredulous tone. “He carries the power of the Mother Goddess.”
The power of the Mother Goddess?
The Elf Queen was startled and examined Gu Yang again. Indeed, there was a power so familiar it couldn’t be more so.
It was the power of the Mother Goddess, so pure, as if he’s an embodiment of the Mother Goddess.
How could the power of the Mother Goddess exist in a human summoner?
Her mind went blank.
…
“Phoenix!”
Simultaneously, from his treehouse not far away, the Sage of the Wind gazed at the fiery figure in the sky with a startling look in his eyes.
His heart was filled with shock.
Next to him, Henry, full of excitement, asked, “Who is he, mentor? Are there such powerful summoners on the continent? What breed is that fire magic beast? It seems so powerful. I’ve never heard of it before.”
The Sage of the Wind calmly replied, “This summoner is not from the West Bank Continent.”
“What?”
Henry was taken aback, “You mean, he’s from another continent?”
…
……
At this point, the other legendary elves also sensed the power of the Mother Goddess emanating from the summoner.
Each elf, being devout believers of the Mother Goddess, was no stranger to her power.
Doubt appeared on their faces.
Although they didn’t understand how a human summoner could possess the power of the Mother Goddess,
they were also reluctant to attack a human carrying the power of the Mother Goddess.
Besides, the human said he meant no harm.
In this confrontation, the High Priestess was the most clear-headed among the elves. She withdrew the divine protection from Eve, intending to learn the truth from her.
Seeing the divine protection finally lifted, Eve cried out, “Hold on, he is the protege of the Mother Goddess.”
The crowd of elves present was stunned by this remark.
A protege of the Mother Goddess?
A human?
Not one of the elves believed such an absurdity.
Yet, the power of the Mother Goddess was indeed on the man.
Upon hearing her daughter’s words, the Elf Queen was almost about to scold her, but she took a glance at the High Priestess nearby and saw her hesitation, leading her heart to skip a beat.
Among the elves, the High Priestess was the closest to the divine beings. Whether one was a protege or not could be determined by her.
Her hesitation indicated that she, too, was uncertain.
Could this human really be a protege of the Mother Goddess?
