In the multimedia classroom, the other students and teachers were unaware of the Divine War's conditions or the specific terms Zhang Yi and Li Boyang had agreed upon. However, as the supervisor, their homeroom teacher Guo Aiqing was perfectly clear on all the regulations they had signed.
Guo Aiqing frowned. Li Boyang's behavior didn't suggest he was unaware of the livestream; on the contrary, he was perfectly aware. He was deliberately using this fact to gain others' sympathy. This way, even if he lost face and the Divine War in front of everyone, he would make Zhang Yi pay a price and ruin his reputation. At the very least, a considerable number of people, unaware of the full story, would develop a dislike for Zhang Yi.
As for why Li Boyang chose this tactic, it was because the Divine War agreement he had signed with Zhang Yi was being supervised by the Blue Star Will, and he didn't dare violate it. Therefore, he could only resort to another method to slander Zhang Yi. His reason for abiding by the rules wasn't that he had realized his mistake and chose to comply obediently; it was because he was scared.
Under the supervision of the Blue Star Will, Li Boyang knew full well he was going to lose his Divine Domain Cards. But since he himself had set the terms of the Divine War, he had no choice but to comply, even though he'd been hoisted by his own petard. Now, he could only hand over the Four-Stars Divine Domain Card, [Bloodline Evolution Pool], and the Two-Stars Divine Domain Card, [Precise Javelin], to Zhang Yi.
But deep down, Li Boyang felt it was extremely unfair. Why should I be the one to lose everything while Zhang Yi pays no price at all?
That was why Li Boyang had resorted to this indirect approach to win people's sympathy.
Indeed, the students and teachers who were initially unaware of the details caused an uproar when they saw Zhang Yi's Wood Elves set foot in Li Boyang's Divine Realm. A portion of the students sat in their seats, condemning Zhang Yi. How could he be so ruthless to a classmate!
Of course, this was just a small minority; a much larger portion of the students remained silent. For example, the third-year grade head, Fu Yuanhang, actually expressed high praise for Zhang Yi's actions.
"This student has an excellent disposition!" he exclaimed. "Gao, if you don't appreciate this student, why not let him skip a grade and come to us! Our grade needs motivated students like him!"
As he spoke, Fu Yuanhang winked at the second-year grade head, Gaoxin Bridge. Seeing the disgusted look on Gaoxin Bridge's face, Fu Yuanhang just laughed.
Homeroom teacher Guo Aiqing didn't let the public outcry continue for long and quickly cleared things up.
"The rules for this Divine War were set by student Li Boyang himself," she stated clearly. "The Divine War is not considered over until ten hours have passed. Less than two hours have gone by, so naturally, the Divine War process has not ended."
The livestream footage, which showed that the Divine War Space hadn't disappeared and the stream hadn't ended even after their personal battle was over, also verified Homeroom Teacher Guo Aiqing's words.
In the Divine Realm, the exchange between Zhang Yi and Li Boyang continued.
"Student Li Boyang, you set the rules for the Divine War yourself. It's not over until ten hours have passed, and it's been less than two hours. Am I not just following the rules you established?"
Zhang Yi's retort made Li Boyang howl in anger. "But this will destroy all my hard work!"
Li Boyang was practically roaring, his voice laced with despair. "My clan just went through a major battle. The survivors can't possibly fight your Wood Elf Corps."
"Yes, and what of it?" Zhang Yi countered. "If the Divine Domain Technique hadn't protected you, do you honestly believe your fate wouldn't be even worse than this?!"
Faced with Li Boyang's accusation, Zhang Yi answered without hesitation. "Why did you set the rule that the engagement in the Divine Realm would only end after ten hours? Wasn't it because you thought you would win and wanted enough time to plunder the resources in my Divine Realm afterward? Am I wrong?"
This sharp questioning from Zhang Yi directly exposed the darkness hidden in the depths of Li Boyang's heart. He fell silent instantly, his face filled with regret.
The students below began whispering among themselves.
"So that's what Li Boyang was planning..."
"He's our classmate; who would've thought he had such dark intentions? You really know a person's face, but not their heart!"
"He's reaping what he sowed. His Divine Realm is probably going to be in for it now."
"Zhang Yi is so clever. Not only did he defeat Li Boyang's clan, but he also completely exploited the rules Li Boyang himself made."
Afterward, Zhang Yi used an Oracle to command Elf Corps Commander Feiyana to lead the remaining one hundred and ninety-plus Wood Elves on a forced march into Li Boyang's Divine Realm, with the primary objective of finding the [Well of Life] and other valuable resources.
"Remember, do not harm the core of the enemy's Divine Realm. We are only taking the valuable resources we can carry."
Feiyana nodded in acknowledgment and led her forces through the Divine War Space into Li Boyang's Divine Realm. It had a tropical rainforest climate, filled with dense, towering trees. Many of the Wood Elves were experiencing this kind of environment for the first time and even grew to like the feeling. Of course, this slight fondness was nothing compared to completing the mission given to them by the great Elf God. Thus, the Wood Elves quickly delved into the rainforest, searching for what their great god desired.
At this moment, Li Boyang still clung to a sliver of hope. What if Zhang Yi's clan can't find the resources within the allotted time?
With this thought, Li Boyang issued an Oracle, ordering all his remaining Green-skinned Lizardmen to hide immediately.
Zhang Yi watched Li Boyang's maneuver, unfazed. But in the next moment, his clan shattered Li Boyang's fantasy with their actions.
"Scent Search!"
A Natural Elf immediately cast a spell. To find what the great Elf God desired in the vast rainforest in the mere seven hours remaining, they couldn't afford to search blindly; they had to be methodical. Scent Search was one of the spells learned after a Natural Elf's Bloodline Awakening. Its effect was to track a similar scent after capturing the scent of one thing.
Since the items described in the great Elf God's Oracle were very precious, they would surely be guarded by the opposing Divine Being's clan. Therefore, they just needed to follow the scent of the Green-skinned Lizardmen to their dwelling, and they should be able to find the enemy's hidden treasures.
In the tropical rainforest, the majority of the Green-skinned Lizardmen's fighting force had been lost in the Divine War. Only the old, weak, and sick remained, completely powerless to stop the Wood Elves' advance.
Soon, Feiyana found the extremely precious [Well of Life] that the great Elf God had spoken of. In the center of the Green-skinned Lizardman tribe, beneath a towering statue, was a well three meters long and three meters wide. When Feiyana and the other Wood Elves approached it, they could feel a dense aura of life emanating from within. This rich aura made all the Wood Elves near the [Well of Life] feel refreshed and invigorated.
The [Well of Life] had been found. The only remaining problem was how to bring it back.
Just as Elf Corps Commander Feiyana was puzzling over this, a beam of white light shone down on the [Well of Life], and then it vanished. The students and teachers in the multimedia classroom who saw this scene all understood what had happened. Zhang Yi had used his authority as the victor of the Divine War.
In addition, the Wood Elves found several of the Green-skinned Lizardmen's mineral resource points, herb gardens, and a small armory in the tropical rainforest. Following Zhang Yi's instructions, they systematically collected these resources—taking what they could and destroying what they couldn't. The projection screen in the multimedia hall clearly displayed all of this.
Li Boyang could only watch helplessly as the resources in his Divine Realm were carried away, his heart filled with regret and a deepening hatred for Zhang Yi.
"This is the cruelty of a Divine War," Homeroom teacher Guo Aiqing said to all the students. "It's not just a battle between clans; it also involves the gain and loss of a Divine Realm's resources. I hope all of you will remember the lesson from student Li Boyang's experience. Before engaging in a Divine War, you must think thrice. Don't let your own greed cloud your judgment."
Two hours later, the Wood Elves completed their resource collection and began an orderly retreat.
