Chapter 979: Chapter 979: Weakened Divinities vs. Despicable Believers (Part 5)
Unless they give up the pursuit, they will have to enter this forest to continue chasing their prey.
"Lord Roy?" All the knights looked at their master.
After all, the Green Light Forest is the domain of the Goddess of Nature.
The legends of the Five Great Main Gods on this continent have persisted for tens of thousands of years. Even though humans today no longer fear the divinities as they once did, there is still a profound reverence for the Goddess of Nature.
The knight leading them, known as Lord Roy, had golden hair as dazzling as the sun, carefully tied and hanging down his back. His face was cold, in stark contrast to his hair color.
His features were handsome and distinct, but his sea-blue eyes were like the coldest jewels, devoid of any warmth.
He frowned and pondered for a moment, then coolly uttered two words, "Enter."
It was clear they were going in to continue the pursuit.
A knight in the group hesitated and said, "But my lord, this is the domain of the Goddess of Nature..."
Roy coldly curled his lips, "The Goddess of Nature? Nowadays, who has witnessed the descent of any god?"
Whether they exist or not, this is no longer their era.
"I have seen it." A gentle voice passed over.
This voice seemed to come from a very far place, as it had an ethereal quality to it; yet she was clearly very close, close enough to whisper in your ear.
Roy’s gaze swept like a sword in a certain direction.
There, in a previously empty spot, a green figure slowly emerged.
The Nine-Colored Deer, which they had spent dear resources failing to capture, was meekly lying beneath her.
"Oracle?" Roy looked at her attire and said assertively.
Gu Shengyin looked up at them, her exquisite features fully revealed under the sunlight.
She smiled and spread her hands: "Yes. Oracle of the Goddess of Nature, Bis, welcomes you all to the Green Light Forest."
As she spread her hands, the entire forest suddenly stirred with a gentle breeze. Countless trees rustled, their branches swaying, as if they were welcoming these uninvited guests along with her words.
Everything seemed quite serene and beautiful. However, every knight in the group tightened their grip on their weapons.
The sudden appearance of this self-proclaimed Oracle of the Goddess of Nature was too enigmatic.
Seeing the silence of the other side, Gu Shengyin didn’t mind.
She knew she wasn’t the one who was anxious—they would eventually speak.
Sure enough, after a brief silence, Roy spoke up: "Oracle of the Goddess of Nature, we need the Nine-Colored Deer beside you."
Gu Shengyin lowered her head, seemingly whispering something.
Then she lifted her head, seemingly a bit helpless, and said, "I just asked Xiao Jiu, and he is not willing to leave with you."
Roy frowned deeply and coldly said, "Whether it is willing or not, today, I shall take it away!"
The other knights all tightened their grips on their weapons. From their experience, once negotiations broke down, it was time for conflict.
No one knew what this strange, beautiful woman might do.
To everyone’s surprise, in the face of their reaction, Gu Shengyin merely showed a helpless smile.
"The Goddess of Nature treats all living beings under heaven with equality. Do you have a particular reason for wanting Xiao Jiu? Perhaps, I can help you?"
