Chapter 398: Chapter 397: The Shocking Revelation of Identity
“The Dark Night Mother Goddess is really too biased.”
As they watched the one-sided slaughter in the Forbidden Forest unfold, Hausmora and the others felt as though they were fed a mouthful of demon bat dung, each one bitterly upset.
Of course, these great mothers only dared to think this in their hearts and would never dare to say it out loud.
“What did I tell you? Didn’t I say Jenny was chosen by the Mother Goddess? You all refused to believe it, and now you have nothing to say,” Kolebas said proudly.
Over the years, as the Dark Night Mother Goddess had seldom appeared, and the various tribes relied more on other means, they increasingly disregarded the Temple.
She saw this trend and was anxious about it in her heart, but had no good solution—now, at last, she had a reason to be proud.
…
“This is what Yolanda and the others wished for themselves; what I did was merely facilitate their desires. Why must you, High Priest, be so aggressive?” Hausmora said, feigning calm.
“Exactly, my tribe’s Sang Fu begged me repeatedly; otherwise, why would I overlook the High Priest’s directive?” the great mother of the Black Fox tribe agreed.
“Hmm, you know very well what the real situation is,” Kolebas said, tired of their rebuttals, and refocused her attention back to the Dark Moon Forbidden Forest.
Under the engulfing crimson absorption field, the power bought with the lives of many prospective Holy Daughters transferred to Jenny, and the tree guardians returned to their original locations, sinking back into slumber.
The crimson field dispersed, and the blood moon reverted to a pale moon, casting a cool, soft glow.
Jenny stood alone, steadying the power within her, then walked over to the Dark Moon Well.
“Great Dark Night Mother Goddess above, Jenny Elsop is here by decree to pay homage.”
She recited no fancy prayers, merely bowed simply, then leaped forward into the Dark Moon Well, landing perfectly upon the nearly full, dark moon.
This scene undeniably stirred many emotions as they watched the figure disappear onto the moon’s surface.
In a trance, Jenny entered a place that seemed both real and unreal.
It was another vast divine hall; the ground she stood on was a broad plaza, with a cascade of steps rising from low to high in front of it, climbing all the way up to a divine statue at the end.
On either side of the steps were divine pillars, upon which floated implements of various forms, presumably the so-called ‘Holy Artifacts.’
Jenny considered thoughtfully. She might need to worship all the way to the front of the divine statue to obtain a Holy Artifact.
“You’ve come, Jenny Elsop.”
As she hesitated, a voice wafted over from the distant void, the direction indiscernible.
Jenny cautiously looked around, astonished to find the surrounding Illusion Realm becoming unstable, with the divine statue at the end disappearing first, followed by the steps and the pillars, then the plaza under her feet.
In the end, only a circular area with a diameter of four to five meters remained, like a full moon.
The full moon had light, yet it couldn’t illuminate the surrounding darkness.
“There’s no need to be nervous, there’s no need for these pretentious things between you and me; it’s more relaxing to meet this way.” A regal and elegant figure emerged from the darkness, resembling a dark elf but with a distinctly noble air that was indescribable.
“I am Lillibet Elsop, and I am very pleased to meet you, Jenny Elsop.”
“I am also very pleased to meet you.”
Although the other party was amiable, Jenny dared not act rashly, because the person in front of her was terrifyingly powerful, so much so that a single look could rob her of her ability to resist.
In her heart, she faintly guessed that this person might be the Dark Night Mother Goddess worshiped by the night elf tribe.
She never imagined that such a great deity would appear before her in person.
“Are you not curious why our surnames are the same?” Lillibet continued.
“Curious,” Jenny answered honestly.
“The reason is simple, because we are all descendants of Claudia Althrop, revered by countless races as the ‘Mother of Earth Core.’”
Hearing Lillibet’s words, Jenny couldn’t help but widen her beautiful eyes; this—this was truly shocking.
The Mother of Earth Core was a revered name often spoken during the oaths made between human sorcerers and the night elf tribe, a great existence standing proudly at the pinnacle of the world.
She was just an insignificant part of herself, and yet she was connected to such a great existence.
“You need not doubt me, I am known as the ‘Dark Night Mother Goddess,’ and I do not deal in falsehoods. I had previously discovered your existence, just when the night elves were selecting the Holy Daughter, so I decreed they bring you to me, hoping it has not troubled you,” Lillibet added.
Indeed, the person before her was the Dark Night Mother Goddess, the Supreme Power protecting the night elf tribe.
With the shock brought on by the Mother of Earth Core, Jenny at first didn’t feel nervous upon hearing this; rather, her emotions gradually calmed down over time.
“I believe you, it’s just—” Jenny thought of something Sorcerer Ivan had said, that she should have reawakened on the remains of a great being, could it be—she dared not ask.
“To be honest, seeing you now, I am somewhat disappointed. You are just a unique part of someone else, an offspring of the great Claudia existing for someone else? How can I believe this?”
The Dark Night Mother Goddess’s next words made Jenny’s heart jump fiercely, a bone-chilling cold instantly spreading throughout her body.
Yes! Such a powerful being could certainly see through her identity. She wanted to send a message to Ivan to keep him away, but this place was cut off from the outside world, and she couldn’t manage it.
For a moment, Jenny was extremely distressed.
“By rights, I should be angry, but on reflection, had you not been that human sorcerer’s part, you certainly couldn’t have developed spiritual intelligence and turned into a wise being.”
Lillibet’s voice remained calm, and with a wave of her hand, a light curtain appeared beside her.
In the curtain, the silhouette outside the Forbidden Forest was reflected, and if not Ivan, then who?
Ivan was expectantly looking toward the inside of the forest, hoping to see what kind of Holy Artifact Jenny might retrieve from the well, utterly unaware that he was being observed and discussed.
“He is truly a unique human, a being cherished by intelligence, almost like a terrestrial agent of intelligence. No wonder he was able to share the power of intelligence with you, enabling you to develop wisdom.”
Lillibet’s vision was extraordinary; she could perceive far more than ordinary beings.
“I don’t know about being cherished by intelligence; I just know that Sorcerer Ivan is indeed a very wise man.” Hearing this, Jenny felt much more at ease and softly responded.
“A direct descendant of Claudia should not just be a part; your existence indeed poses some difficulty for me, this is not as I expected. The things I prepared for you are now of no use, what should I do with you and this human sorcerer?” Lillibet continued, still observing Ivan in the light curtain, but her tone shifted.
Jenny involuntarily tensed up.
