Chapter 25: Can This Group Be Trusted? (Vote for Recommendation!)

With the system's prompt sound, several people noticed an additional line of purple title under their green names: Guardians of the World Tree.

The fancy font was really cool, and there were even sparkling effects.

"Wow! A unique title!"

"Five perfect resurrections?"

"That's awesome!"

They were all extremely excited.

"Brave Chosen Ones, please take my blessings and set out on your journey once again."

Watching the four excited players, Eve gave a slight smile, waved her hand, and sent their consciousness back to the real world of Segus.

In the hall, only Alice and Berserker were left.

"Alice, Berserker, this matter concerns my revival, you must assist them well."

Eve instructed again.

"Yes, Mother Goddess."

The two indigenous believers answered respectfully.

"Mother Goddess..."

Oak Guardian Berserker hesitated, seeming to have something to say.

"Speak."

Eve nodded.

Granted permission by the True God, Berserker breathed a sigh of relief and then respectfully asked:

"Actually... you could have just ordered me to convey the instructions, there was actually no need..."

"No need to personally direct, and to summon them here?"

Eve smiled.

Berserker bowed his head and solemnly responded affirmatively.

"Da..."

"Da..."

"Da..."

Eve gently tapped on the armrest of the divine throne, with only the tapping echoing in the temple.

After a moment, She let out a light laugh and said:

"This is their unique form of entertainment, you will understand it in the future."

With these words, She waved her hand again, sending the two devotees out of Her consciousness space as well.

...

The Demacia group felt their consciousness blur for a moment and found themselves back in the Natural Temple of the small town.

Only now, they had an extra title above their heads, and a new line in the system panel read [Perfect Resurrection Count: 5]

They looked at each other, then cheered and rushed out of the Natural Temple.

"Hahaha! I'm going to share this news with everyone!"

"An exclusive title! Hehe, just us four! A collector's item!"

"I've recorded the entire cutscene just now, it was so exciting, I'm posting the video first thing!"

As the group pushed open the doors of the temple, they found the area already packed with players.

Seeing the bustling crowd, Demacia exclaimed excitedly:

"Brothers! Sisters! We've started the main plot line! There's a main quest now!"

But at this moment, the players in the town had already erupted into excitement.

"Grouping for a new instance! Grouping for a new instance! Feilengcui Holy City instance! Need a level 10 strength class! No hemophiliacs!"

"Need a mage for control! 4 equals 1!"

"Does anyone know how to lead? Our team lacks a commander!"

Demacia: ???

The four players stood dumbfounded as they watched the lively crowd forming groups.

Huh?

What's going on?

How does it feel like the whole world suddenly knows about the instance?

Then, a player came over and gave a thumbs up:

"Demacia, you're amazing! You actually started the main plot line!"

"That's great! I so want to talk with the Goddess as well!"

Hearing the other person's words, Demacia was slightly stunned:

"You all know?"

The players nodded:

"Yeah! When you were summoned by the Goddess, we had the cutscene started, but it was just from a bystander's viewpoint. So envious of you..."

"Yeah! The cutscene's effects were amazing! High praise for Eve Goddess!"

"Haha, I even recorded it, I've uploaded the video online already, let those who didn't get the beta test slots be jealous, haha!"

Demacia: ...

That's right, the opening of an instance, such a big event, definitely needs to be announced server-wide.

Demacia smacked his forehead, feeling a little downcast.

He had been planning to tell everyone the news himself.

Wait a second... someone already recorded and uploaded it?

```

F〇〇K...

At that moment, someone came over, looking enviously at his title:

"Wow, World Tree Guardian! Ah, who knows if we will ever get a chance to earn that."

Upon hearing this, Demacia couldn't help but smirk, his gloomy mood instantly dissipating.

He proudly placed his hands on his hips, boasting:

"Hehe, that's right, this is our exclusive title!"

Having said that, he added:

"Hey hey, right, the quest mentioned it's best to have Perfect Resurrection, be careful with your team formation!"

While speaking, he shifted to proudly show the other player his status bar that read [Perfect Resurrection Count: 5].

Hearing Demacia's words, the man chuckled and also showed his own status bar:

"Hehe, don't worry about that, after the mainline quest started, all players who chose to participate in the first quest were granted 3 Perfect Resurrection opportunities by the Goddess."

Demacia: ...

"Ahem ahem ahem… well, that's good."

He laughed awkwardly, waving his hand:

"I'm not gonna chat with you anymore, I'm off to find Brother Mu!"

After speaking, Demacia left a view of his back to the man, shaking his head and sighing:

"Ah... my title of 'World Tree Guardian' is just too dazzling, far too dazzling…"

...

[Elf Kingdom] mainline storyline has begun! The first mainline quest [Ancient Holy City]has been released!

Completing the quest will not only grant a large amount of experience points but also possibly Perfect Resurrection counts as well as contribution points, which are only available after reaching level 11!

What's more, to improve players' gaming experience, the great Mother Nature, Eve Yoctrahill, has also gifted each participant player 3 additional chances of Perfect Resurrection!

One after another, these announcements were made, and all players above level 9 were in a frenzy.

Apart from a few players, the vast majority were eager to try and began registering for teams.

[Elf Kingdom]does not limit the number of players in a team, but to maximize each individual's strength, most players almost instinctively formed 5-person teams, which is also a common team formation in VRMMOs.

Moreover, in the latest strategy guide for [Elf Kingdom], experts have analyzed that 5-member teams are the most efficient for monster hunting, exemplified by the "Box Lunch" squad that defeated the powerful Forest Python by their combined efforts.

In just fifteen minutes, the beta players had formed 21 teams, comprising a total of 91 players, all of whom were level 9 and above, with 37 players reaching level 10!

However, there was a dispute among the players regarding the construction of the Teleportation Array...

"What? Saintess Alice can only prepare one set of materials for the Teleportation Array?"

"It's said there's not enough magic materials..."

"So that means... only one team can complete Objective 1 of the quest?"

"How is that going to work… the rewards can't be split like this!"

"How should we decide? Maybe... draw lots?"

"Drawing lots doesn't sound good, there's only one set of materials for the Array, and there's only one opportunity to complete the quest, plus once the Array is built we need to ensure it runs smoothly, after all, enemies will certainly attempt to disrupt it, so player protection is going to be crucial…"

"I think it should be decided by strength, let the squads compete against each other."

"How are we going to compete, are we going to have a fight?!"

"How will the rewards be divided? Can't it be fair?"

Suddenly, the players began to argue.

Watching the clamorous Chosen Ones, Berserker, who had been waiting patiently on the side, frowned.

Since when did elves become so disorganized and undisciplined? The quest hasn't even started, and they're fighting over an Array?

Don't they have the unity and humility typical of elves?

These undisciplined fellows, can they really accomplish the Mother Goddess's quest?

Goblins may be weak, but compared to this rabble of rookies, Berserker still felt the former had more combat potential.

Although the Chosen Ones had impressed him with their town construction, what comes next involves real fighting!

Berserker still vividly remembered spying on Demacia and his comrades in the forest, their carefree demeanor…

Obviously, these Chosen Ones had not encountered real combat, and some of them even get nauseous at the sight of blood!

Furthermore, Goblins have brought forth a Priest, essentially obtaining a high-intelligence commander.

But these Chosen Ones are disorderly, noisy, and no one respects others, lacking even a leader…

Not to mention that none among them have ascended to the rank of Iron yet.

Under these circumstances, can it really be successful?

Mother Goddess, was your choice... truly serious?

Thinking this, Berserker's frown deepened.

Watching the increasingly sullen Berserker, Saintess Alice cast an understanding glance at him.

In a subtle way, she felt like she had found a kindred spirit.

These creatures disguised as elves… don't possess a speck of the high nobility of the Elf Clan, instead, they're much like those humans driven by sheer profit!

No, they lack even the discipline of humans! Utterly unorganized!

"Dang! Dang! Dang——!"

"Silence!"

While Berserker was deep in thought and frowning, a loud shout accompanied by the sound of knocking overpowered everything.

In an instant, all eyes turned toward the source…

They saw Demacia standing on top of some wooden planks, one hand hitting a rock with a wooden knife, the other holding a horn made from a large leaf:

"Stop arguing! Stop arguing! Brother Mu has something to say!"

Brother Mu? Li Mu?

Upon Demacia's shout, the crowd gradually quieted down.
