Chapter 338
Lessen the traces of the World Tree?
Upon hearing her explanation, a thought stirred within Li Mus mind, as he recalled the various tasks he undertook while performing the Oakhand Questline
Could these radical changes somehow be related to the next plot of the main questline?
Li Mus heart raced with excitement at the thought of triggering the main questline once again.
He had grounds for this belief because after having spent a considerable time playing the game, Li Mu had gained a deeper understanding of the mechanics behind the Elven Kingdoms questline system.
Simply put, unlike other online games, the storyline of this game didnt seem entirely pre-designed but was instead procedurally generated and integrated along with the players overall progression of the games overarching narrative.
This became evident as players werent merely participants in the plot but also its main catalysts, given that almost every questline was initiated by a fortunate player
It was for this reason that Elven Kingdom instilled a strong sense of immersion and realism within players, cultivating a large number of loyal fans in just a few months after its launch.
Moreover, all the main questlines in the game so far were somehow connected to the Goddess, as her actions oftentimes is the inception of another major quest.
Main storyline quests!
Could it be that he was about to hit the wall once again?
Li Mu suddenly felt a little excited.
Hit the wall was a term ElvKing players used in reference to the Chronicles of Elven Kingdom, which was also the highest honor among the players.
Unlike other games, Elven Kingdom had a unique feature called Chronicles, which served as the official canon recording of the overarching narrative plot of the game.
This comprehensive wall of text began with the appearance of the first batch of Chosen Ones from the very first beta-test, as it details the players gradual development and the changes theyve made within the realm of Seiges in the form of chronicles
The Chronicles encompass all major events in which players participated in, with the usernames of those who made remarkable contributions in these various events being immortalized for their achievements.
At the start, the Chronicles didnt have such a high appeal amongst the playerbase.
But as the popularity of Elven Kingdom grew more and more back on Earth, numerous fan circles also gradually emerged one after another, generating a plethora of fan works of various kinds, ranging from artwork and fan fiction to music compositions and cosplay and all other products
Eventually, the initially ignored Chronicles slowly evolved into a guiding framework, akin to a official historical document, in which provided the foundation for these fan-made creations.
Some netizens even joked that in a few years, the Chronicles could potentially completely turn into a Western fantasy novel.
Of course, the prerequisite was to ignore all the quirky and weird sounding usernames the players had
Who wouldnt want to become famous among players while playing a game?
Moreover, being included in the Chronicles also comes with corresponding rewards, and NPCs also look upon those mentioned in it with much greater respect.
And who knows, maybe one day they might even unexpectedly hear their username being talked about by an NPC.
That feelingwould be quite satisfying.
Of course, what the players didnt know was that Ev had also included the Chronicles feature in the task system for her believers.
In particular, any natives bestowed with the task system could also access as well as read the Chronicles and naturally would hold a more special regard for those Chosen Ones who were written into it.
Given the fame and benefits of hitting the wall, players will naturally find themselves more motivated than ever to trigger the main and hidden questline.
With these thoughts in mind, Li Mu began to speculate on the possible content of the next main questline.
The altered verse of the prayer, along with the new honorific title, and now the lessened significance of the World Tree
Could it be?
Did the Goddess perhaps intend to adopt a new identity and make a formal appearance in the world of Seiges?
Will their faction finally make its official public debut?
The fact that the Goddess is still hiding her true identity is well known amongst the players.
After all, the games lore is quite clear about it:
The Goddess was previously besieged by the gods and it led to her downfall. Although she has now been resurrected, she is still widely regarded publicly as an enemy of the world
And the most obvious aspect of ElvKings storyline to put it bluntly, is to fight against the gods and help the Goddess in regaining her strength, and restore the former glory of the Elven race.
In the early stages of the game, it was only natural for their faction to be weak and cautious about revealing themselves to the public
But now, it seems like their factions strategy of hiding itself is finally going to shift?
For a moment, Li Mu felt a new understanding blossoming within him
Thats because the storyline of this game is truly driven by the players and NPCs, rather than being pre-set by the developers.
At most, the devs will only provide the framework, and all the developments are based on the changes that players make in the game.
This is what true virtual gaming is all about!
Compared to other games with rigid and fixed storylines, Elven Kingdom offers much more immersion.
Sighing inwardly, Li Mu looked at Alice and asked solemnly:
Sowhat exactly do you need me for Miss Alice?
Seeing Li Mus serious expression, Alice felt very satisfied.
She nodded to herself and beamed.
Lord Li Mu, your reputation amongst the Chosen Ones is very high. I wish to task you with guiding your fellow Chosen Ones in modifying the temples across different locations. This involves replacing the symbols of the World Tree with the Scepter of Life, and renaming the temple of Nature to Temples of Life
Not only that, the honorific titles under the Divine Matriarch also needs to be updated. Additionally I would like you to select a group of Chosen Ones to assist us in compiling the Holy Codex of Life
As soon as she finished speaking, a task prompt appeared in front of Li Mu.
You were given the Task: Goddess of Life
Task objectives: Modify all the temples within the Chosen City, Florence, Rivendell, Black Dragon Castle and assist in writing the new Holy Codex of Life
Task requirements: The modified temples should maintain its solemnity while distinguishing themselves from the old Temples of Nature, and should embody the three major Divinities of Life, Nature, and Elvenkind
Task requirement No. 2: The content of the new Holy Codex will be rated by the system, with a maximum score of 100 points, and this score will be directly linked to the task rewards
Task time limit: Unlimited
Allowed Number of participants: Unlimited
Task level requirements: None
Task rewards: Experience points (up to 30,000), Contribution points (up to 5,000), Lucky Lottery Tickets (up to 10)
Damn!
These rewards are quite generous!
But the content of this task is quite peculiar as well, as it even involveswriting a book?
Li Mus expression showed a hint of bewilderment.
How about it? Can you handle it?
Alice looked at Li Mus subtly nuanced expression and tilted her head slightly.
Of course! I guarantee to complete this task!
Li Mu subconsciously stood at attention and saluted.
An important task!
Lets accept it first!
And this task can also expand the influence of his guild, Heart of Nature!
Without hesitation, Li Mu selected to accept the task on the interface prompt. At the same time, relevant system announcements floated across the interfaces of all players once again.
Then Ill leave it to you.
Alice drew a symbol of the Scepter of Life on her chest.
May the Goddess be with you.
May the Goddess be with you!
Li Mu likewise imitated the new gesture as he replied.
After receiving the task, Li Mu hurriedly left.
His chat channel was already being flooded with various private messages.
As she watched his departing figure, Alice muttered to herself with some confusion:
Although I understand why Her Majesty wants to change her honorific title, why does she need the involvement of the Chosen Ones in writing the new holy codex?
She distinctly remembered that these Chosen Ones although loyal to the Goddess, doesnt particularly believe in their religious faith
Can they really understand the teachings of the Goddess?
After thinking for a while, Alice still couldnt figure it out and eventually just gave up.
Perhaps Her Majesty has her own considerations.
Her Majesty is so wise and great; her decisions must have a deeper meanings. I still have a long way to go in my path as a Saint since Im still unable to fully comprehend Her Majestys intentions
