Meanwhile, the audience in the multimedia hall watched the preparations of both sides unfold on the projection screen.
In Zhang Yi's Divine Realm, the Wood Elves and Natural Elves assembled their troops in less than thirty minutes.
And they were well-trained.
Many of the students were shocked by the loyalty of Zhang Yi's Clan, the Wood Elves!
The mobility and decisiveness of a Clan within a Divine Realm are often directly proportional to their faith in their Divine Being.
The more devout their faith, the faster and more effectively they execute the Oracles issued by their Divine Being!
That was why all the students and teachers in the multimedia hall were so shocked when they saw how quickly his Wood Elf Clan carried out Zhang Yi's commands!
In fact, this was partly due to the effect of an achievement Zhang Yi had just obtained.
With the [Fanatical Faith] achievement,
not only would the decisiveness and loyalty of the Clan in his Divine Realm become even greater,
but in future Divine Wars, after conquering other Clans and Heretics who believed in other Divine Beings,
he could also use this achievement to quickly convert them and win their faith.
In any Divine Being's Divine Realm,
the higher a Clan member's status, the stronger their faith in the Lord of the Divine Realm tends to be!
During a Divine War, when invading an enemy's Divine Realm to conquer other Clans,
one often has to be ruthless.
Ultimately, they can only spare a group of low-status Clan members with weak faith.
Then, over a long period, this remaining group must be slowly converted to a new belief.
But now that Zhang Yi had the [Fanatical Faith] achievement, he could quickly convert the faith of Clans in conquered Divine Realms,
and gain a large amount of Faith Value!
And for the [Fanatical Faith] achievement to arrive so coincidentally,
just before his decisive battle with Li Boyang, gave Zhang Yi even more confidence in winning this Divine War!
On the other side, in Li Boyang's Divine Realm,
although he had lost a batch of Green-skinned Lizardmen at the very beginning of his Divine Realm, during the assessment by the Blue Star Will,
it was just as Li Boyang had claimed. After he loaded the Five-star Divine Domain Card—the [Well of Life]—into his Divine Realm,
not only did they overcome disease,
but relying on the [Well of Life]'s ability to heal injuries,
Li Boyang had ordered the Green-skinned Lizardmen on a massive campaign of conquest, subjugating every Clan in his Divine Realm.
Although the Green-skinned Lizardmen had indeed carried out Li Boyang's orders thanks to the effect of the [Well of Life],
the long-term warfare had left the Lizardmen mired in war fatigue.
While they weren't necessarily dissatisfied with their Divine Being, it was an established fact that the level of their faith had stagnated.
Therefore, while all the Wood Elves and Natural Elves in Zhang Yi's Divine Realm were fully equipped and ready in less than thirty minutes,
nearly an hour had passed in Li Boyang's Divine Realm, and his Green-skinned Lizardmen had only just finished assembling and grabbing their Weapons.
Li Boyang glanced at the time. Seeing that only a few minutes remained,
he had no choice but to speak,
issuing an Oracle to forcibly command the rest of his Green-skinned Lizardmen to get ready.
When the one-hour preparation period ended,
Zhang Yi's Wood Elves and Li Boyang's Green-skinned Lizardmen were simultaneously teleported from their respective Divine Realms to the edge of the Divine War Space.
As the final seconds ticked away, the invisible barrier of the Divine War Space vanished.
The two Clans stood at the edges of their respective territories, the lands where they lived at their backs.
Gazing at the enemy across from them, the commanders on both sides simultaneously began to issue commands!
At this moment, their homeroom teacher, Guo Aiqing, who was standing in the multimedia hall, began her commentary on the projected footage:
"From the footage we just saw, it's clear that Zhang Yi has established a stable system of faith in his Divine Realm."
"The decisiveness with which his Wood Elf Clan carries out his Oracles alone speaks volumes!"
"In contrast, the level of faith Li Boyang's Clan has in their Divine Being is far inferior to Zhang Yi's!"
Their homeroom teacher, Guo Aiqing, pointed out several such details to the students around her as she spoke.
"Also, there's another crucial point. I wonder if any of you noticed!"
As she spoke, the teacher looked back at the students of Class 2-7.
Guo Aiqing's eyes swept over them, and several students shook their heads.
Just then, the class's academic representative, Hu Xia, stood up and said, "It's the Elves!"
"Among Zhang Yi's Clan, besides the main population of Wood Elves,
there is another type of Clan member that looks very similar to the Wood Elves.
They look a bit like Wood Elves that have undergone Bloodline Evolution!"
"Exactly!"
The teacher encouraged Hu Xia.
"It's the appearance of the Elves!"
"You can see that although most of the Elves have the appearance of Wood Elves,
there is a small portion of Elves whose appearance is different,
and they are generally carrying a Wooden Staff. Does that make you suspect anything?"
"Is it a Magic Staff?" Hong Tianyi asked.
Because Hong Tianyi's awakened Clan was Kobolds, and Kobolds have the Dogman Mage Profession, he was reminded of Magic Staffs when he saw those different-looking Wood Elves all holding a Wooden Staff.
"That's right!"
"Their appearance is slightly different from the Middle Clan Wood Elves, but they're still broadly similar.
At the same time, they're holding Magic Staffs. What does that make you think of?"
Homeroom teacher Guo Aiqing revealed the details bit by bit, patiently guiding the students.
"Could it be that they awakened their bloodline and evolved from Wood Elves into Natural Elves?!"
A student in the audience exclaimed excitedly.
"Yes. It's incredible, but based on my judgment,
that's correct. They are Natural Elves!"
When homeroom teacher Guo Aiqing announced her conclusion, a wave of astonishment swept through the students below!
"How is that possible?"
"It hasn't even been a month since he awakened his Divine Realm! How could he have already enabled a Middle Clan like the Wood Elves to evolve into Natural Elves?"
"Maybe he just got lucky. Maybe his initial Divine Realm had both Wood Elves and Natural Elves!"
"Or maybe some precious Magic Resources appeared in his initial Divine Realm, which were accidentally discovered and consumed by these Wood Elves, causing their Bloodline Evolution!"
"..."
The discussion below was heating up.
However, the Divine War projected on the screen was not as intense as everyone had imagined.
On the contrary, from the moment the Divine War began, the battle was completely one-sided!
In the Divine War Space, the Wood Elves and Green-skinned Lizardmen, having finally met, were separated by a distance of several kilometers.
Since the terrain was a plain, the view was perfectly clear.
For the Wood Elves at this moment,
neither their Bows and Arrows nor their Magic could cross a distance of several kilometers to attack the enemy.
Therefore, for both the Wood Elves and the Green-skinned Lizardmen, the first step in this Divine War was to close the distance!
