Chapter 841: Altering Perceptions, How Dare You Touch Someone From Our Elven Divine Realm? (2)

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

From the beginning to now, they had come to understand a few things.

The high and mighty Oceanic Divinities seemed unwilling to let this young human with boundless potential achieve divinity. They acted with a kind of arrogance that was so extreme, that they hardly considered whether their reasons were valid before hastily sending their divine realm troops to nip this bud in its growth.

Then, the commander of the divine realm troops, unable to breach the barrier, furiously resorted to hurling insults as if in a quarrel on the streets.

Watching the lively text broadcast on the scene, the emotions of players in the chat channel were stirred up as well.

“Damn, how shameless are these Oceanic Divinities? Seeing Big Boss Ji Chen about to become a god, they send troops to kill him off? Can they get any more shameless?”

“These Oceanic Divinities are a bunch of jokers. They are an embarrassment. We better not associate with this Oceanic Divine Lineage!”

“But the divine position Ji Chen is supposed to achieve should be within the Oceanic Divine Lineage. That’s over a dozen divinities. One is tough enough, let alone over a dozen!”

“True, even if he can withstand this time, as long as the Oceanic Divinities exist, there’s no way out.”

“Let’s not talk about the future. For now, although the barrier blocks those Oceanic Divine Realm troops, there’s no way to get rid of them. It’s not like he can stay inside forever, right?”

“No big deal, seeing Big Boss Ji Chen’s confident demeanor, he must have some ways to deal with it.”

Indeed, even if the Oceanic Divine Realm troops no longer attacked, just by staying outside, they could sever the connection with the outside world and the Ocean Crown, effectively stifling its growth.

And the commander of the Oceanic Divine Realm, seeing the barrier unbreakable for so long, had already begun to consider such strategies.

No matter what, it was necessary to suppress the growth of this human, otherwise, the longer they waited, the greater the cost needed to eliminate him!

Under the direct or indirect watch of everyone.

Ji Chen finally spoke slowly.

“Aren’t you going to make a move? If you wait any longer, you might not get another chance.”

As his words fell, a dazzling rainbow light shone from the horizon, turning the entire sky into a riot of colors.

Then, beams of flowing rainbow descended from the sky, transforming into knights either riding divine elven steeds, clad in divine wooden armor, their demeanor fierce without anger, or archers riding divine blood eagles, wielding colorful divine bows.

Regiments of majestic knights and divine eagles formed an army in the sky, an imposing sight to behold.

The rainbow light connected into one.

At the forefront, the most brilliant rainbow light transformed into a goddess general, holding a green light spear, looking majestic.

It was none other than Penelope, who had previously infiltrated the Ocean Crown.

She looked at Ji Chen with a face full of surprise and confusion. “How did you know about us?”

“…The moment you entered the Ocean Crown, I already knew.”

“Impossible! My disguise is flawless, not even a demigod could recognize me, how could you possibly know!?”

Penelope had an expression of utter disbelief. She had carefully disguised herself and honestly pretended to be an ordinary elf living in the Ocean Crown for a while.

But remembering the hardships of this period, her heart felt sour.

However, she knew now was not the time to argue about this.

Penelope casually glanced at the Oceanic Divine Realm troops, now on high alert, her dark green eyes flashing with disdain.

The Oceanic Divine Lineage, which has been in decline for hundreds of thousands of years, really had stooped low. In order to prevent the birth of a new Oceanic Divinity, they actually dispatched their divine realm troops to besiege a human. It’s truly a step backwards for them.

When it came to the divine realm troops of various divine lineages, their strength was also divided into several tiers, just like the strength of the divine lineages themselves.

The strongest naturally belonged to the divine realm troops of a few powerful divine lineages like the Elven Divine Lineage and the Light Divine Lineage, while the weakest were those of the Oceanic Divine Lineage.

To put it simply, although all divine realm troops belonged to the seventh tier, the Elven Divine Lineage and Light Divine Lineage’s troops were seventh tier 9 stars, while the Oceanic Divine Realm troops were seventh tier 1 star.

The difference in strength was as vast as the heavens and the earth.

This disparity was partly due to the Oceanic Divine Realm having access to the least resources, but mostly it was because the Oceanic Divine Lineage was just too weak.

Despite having a considerable number of divinities, with a total of twelve, most of them were Lesser Gods, and they were the kind that barely made the cut as Lesser Gods.

There were only three Intermediate Gods, all of whom lack any distinctive traits or brilliance, possessing powers that rank very low.

For comparison, the Light Divine Lineage had only eleven divinities, even one less than the Oceanic Divine Lineage.

But it included four Lesser Gods, four Intermediate Gods, two Higher Gods, and one who, although a Higher God, surpasses the rest in power, the “Chief God of the Divine Lineage” — the Light Goddess, Alfe.

The Elven Divine Lineage boasted a total of fourteen divinities: five Lesser Gods, six Intermediate Gods, two Higher Gods, and one “Chief God of the Divine Lineage” similar in status to the Light Goddess — the Elf Mother Goddess, Eluvita.

The Oceanic Divine Lineage didn’t even have a single Higher God, and its core strength of Intermediate Gods was so weak, not to mention those floor-level Lesser Gods that some powerful demigods could easily match.

In two words:

They were a bunch of shameful gods!

In ancient times, the Oceanic Divine Lineage was as powerful as the Elven Divine Lineage and the Light Divine Lineage. Under the leadership of the dual “Chief Gods of the Divine Lineage” — the Lord of the Ocean and the Ocean Goddess, it was among the top in the many divine lineages that had not yet fallen due to the divine wars!

Now, its strength had fallen to the point where it could only compete with bottom-tier divine lineages like the Swamp Divine Lineage and the Highland Divine Lineage for some leftover resources in the void. To say it is barely clinging to life would not be an exaggeration.

This time, the Oceanic Divine Lineage’s action, which had crossed the bottom line of orderly divinities and was shameless, truly shocked her and reshaped her understanding.

To prevent this human from becoming a god and sharing their resources, they brazenly dispatched the divine realm troops to descend and besiege him.

Had they not considered the benefits that this human, once ascended to godhood, could bring to the Oceanic Divine Lineage?

Penelope’s previous disdain and scorn had already been washed away by what she had witnessed and learned during her hidden stay in the Ocean Crown.

She was certain that this human had boundless potential and would at least become a powerful Intermediate God after ascension.

But the more she thought about it, the more short-sighted the current Oceanic Divinities appeared, ready to kill such a promising seedling of divinity for a mere immediate gain. How ludicrous was that?

The Oceanic Divine Lineage deserved its decline!

Since the Oceanic Divine Lineage did not cherish such a promising seed of divinity, then their Elven Divine Lineage would not hold back.

Penelope clenched the divine power spear in her hand. If they could cleanly and efficiently deal with these weak Oceanic Divine Realm troops, perhaps this human would appreciate the help from the Elven Divine Lineage and might even consider joining them.

Lady Eluvita herself had said that if he wished to join the Elven Divine Lineage, they could even offer him a power of the Elven Divine Lineage as a gift!

Humph, she hadn’t come forward when the Oceanic Divine Realm troops first attacked the Ocean Crown precisely for this reason. Providing help in desperate times was much better than adding decoration to what was already complete.

Waiting until the human was at his wit’s end and then descending like divine soldiers to rescue him from dire straits would achieve the best effect.

Unlike Penelope, who was feeling smug inside, the Oceanic Divine Realm troops were now plunged into a state of panic, fear, and dread.

How could the Elven Divine Realm troops appear here? From their stance, they seemed to intend to help this human. How could this be possible?

The Elven Divine Realm troops were among the strongest in all the divine lineages, their combat strength was many times higher than theirs. If they were to take action against them, it was likely none of them would be able to escape today.

Upon this thought, the commander of the Oceanic Divine Realm troops was sweating profusely. He managed to calm himself down and respectfully addressed Penelope.

“Elven Divine Realm Commander, may I ask what brings you and your divine lord here? This human is an enemy of our Oceanic Divine Lineage. If you could facilitate our efforts to eliminate him, we would be immensely grateful, and I believe our god would also thank you for your help.”

Penelope snapped back to reality, glancing at him with a sidelong look, and scoffed.

“And who do you think you are, daring to lay a hand on someone under the protection of our Elven Divine Lineage?”
