Starting With 3 S-Class Talents

Chapter 477: Was About to Be Screened and Voted to Become a God

After hearing what Vincent said, Dave stopped being shy and raised his head to ask with a puzzled expression, “What? You didn’t respond to me on purpose. Why?”

All the elves had gathered in front of the gates of Devil Flame City. They could not help but look curiously at Vincent.

Everyone knew that Dave and Vincent’s relationship was very good. After Vincent became a god, he responded to all believers except for Dave. There must be another reason for this.

Vincent swept his gaze over everyone. He smiled and said, “I found the remaining divine sparks of the six Elf Kings in Imperial City. They were doing their best to guard the elf’s divine sparks until their death so that they would not be taken away by the demons. I have also received the approval of the Fire Elf King and inherited the divine spark of fire! At the same time, I was also given the responsibility to take care of these divine sparks for the Elf Kings until I find a suitable successor for these divine sparks. Therefore, I hope to hear everyone’s opinion. All the elves who made outstanding contributions in the process of fighting against the demons will become candidates to inherit the divine sparks, and I will choose a suitable candidate to inherit the divine spark from among these candidates!”

Everyone looked excited when they heard that. Not only did Vincent become a god, but he also had all the divine sparks and was willing to share the opportunity to become a god with the elves.

This was a great gift to the elves!

However, some of the elves who believed in the other Elf Kings felt as if they had been struck by lightning. They muttered in disbelief, “The Elf Kings died long ago? That’s impossible! Our prayers can still be answered. It can be seen from our own strength. How can the Elf Kings be dead?”

Vincent seemed to have expected such doubts and said indifferently, “After the inheriting the divine sparks of the Elf Kings, the divine sparks themselves have already possessed a certain divinity and can answer the prayers of their believers on their own. All these years, you must have only received the power of the Elf Kings, but you have never received a response from the Elf Kings. That’s actually just the divine spark working for the Elf Race on its own. Therefore, the Elf Kings felt helpless, which is why they’re so eager for me to find a suitable successor for them!”

After hearing Vincent’s explanation, all the elves were relieved. Those elves who insisted on believing in the other Elf Kings were still crying in grief and were unable to extricate themselves.

Vincent pursed his lips and fell silent. He did not tell the elves the whole truth. He only told them that the Elf Kings had died long ago and that what he encountered was only the remaining thoughts of the Elf Kings. He did not tell them about the poor fellows who had lived in the bottom of the well for thousands of years and were in a sorry state.

He did this to protect the last dignity of the Elf Kings!

At this moment, an elf wiped his tears and suddenly shouted to his companions around him, “The Elf Kings did not give up on the Elf Race even after they died. He still protected the divine spark that belonged to the Elf Race. They did not disappoint our faith. I am proud that I am a Water Elf!”

This was because, in Vincent’s story, the Elf Kings died in a glorious battle, and in the thousands of years after their deaths, they still protected the most important treasure of the Elf Race.

Their spirits were naturally able to win the Elf Race’s recognition. Even if they had lost to Gajero back then, it would not affect their image as gods!

“That’s right, I am also proud of the Elf King that I believe in! Therefore, while we respect God Vincent, we should continue to uphold our faith and work hard to inherit the Elf King’s divine sparks!”

“The Elf Race should have multiple elements, to begin with. If we don’t inherit the divine sparks, then the history of the Elf Race will be broken and will never be restored!” said the elves.

The elves could not help but feel sad at the news of their Elf Kings’ death. They were even more determined to use their strength to prove to Vincent that they had the right to inherit the Elf Kings’ divine sparks. They would give their all for their faith.

When Vincent saw the excitement in the crowd, he nodded and said, “Good! As long as you have the heart, I will give you a chance! But you must remember that to become a god, you have to bear the responsibility, not the enjoyment of being high above! Once the Elf Race is in trouble, you must be like the previous Elf Kings. You must have the determination to die for the Elf Race!”

Except for the fire elves who believed in Vincent, the rest of the elves shouted loudly, “We are willing to die for the elves!”

Vincent said with a gratified expression, “I believe in all of you. Then, please tell us about your contributions! In this dark era, I will give the divine spark to whoever has worked the hardest and can lead the elves to break through the current darkness!”

After hearing this, the elves looked at each other in dismay. The battle with the demons had just begun, and everyone had only experienced the battle to defend Devil Flame City. Everyone had been on the battlefield before, therefore, everyone’s contributions were almost the same. There were no special achievements worth showing off.

An elf took the initiative to say, “The war against the demons has just begun, and the contributions we have made so far are not enough for us to take credit for. Therefore, we will definitely do our best to fight against demons in the future. This will be for the elves and for our faith! However, there is one individual who has made enough contributions to stand out and inherit the divine spark!”

Everyone asked curiously, “Who?”

The elf turned his eyes to Dave. He said with a serious face, “Of course it’s City Lord Dave! He was the first elf who followed and trusted God Vincent. He was also the first elf who recognized the true face of the demons and chose to resist! For this, he killed the lost Andre and opened up Devil Flame City. Devil Flame City now accepts all the escaping elves. He also personally presided over the defense of Devil Flame City. Without him, God Vincent would still be a foreign race misunderstood by all the elves. Most elves would not awaken under the control of the Demon Race for so many years. Such a feat is enough to become a God of the Elf Race!”

After hearing the elf’s recommendation, Dave hurriedly shook his head and declined, “Me? Stop joking! I’d rather be a follower of Vincent and be the City Lord of Devil Flame City. Being a god is not something I’m good at!”

He tried his best to persuade Vincent to become a god of the Elf Race in order to give the Elf Race the power to fight against the Demon Race. However, he, himself, did not have the ambition to become a god. The idea didn’t cross his mind. However, at that moment, he was being named and praised for his achievements. He was even been promoted to become a god and therefore was under a lot of pressure.

However, at that moment, Ebenezer suddenly said, “Since my master is responsible for dealing with the divine spark, then I agree to let my junior brother Dave become a God! After all, he was my master’s personal disciple and inherited my master’s will. When we leave the Elf world in the future, we can at least leave a backbone for the Elves!”

Having heard that, all the elves nodded in agreement.

The residents of Devil Flame City who had already turned into Fire Elves had witnessed the actions of the new City Lord, Dave. They naturally knew that he was a good City Lord who always had the interest of the elves in mind. He would definitely be a good god in the future. There was no reason not to support him!

The other elves who had rushed over to support Devil Flame City had all been taken care of by Ebenezer on the battlefield. Even though they did not have a deep impression of Dave, they still respected Ebenezer from the bottom of their hearts.

Seeing that Ebenezer had taken the initiative to stand up for Dave, the Foreign Elves did not hesitate to support Dave.

All the elves had reached a consensus and strongly recommended Dave to become a god of the elves. This result was also within Vincent’s expectations. He had not chosen Dave on a whim back then, he was truly moved by the tenacity. Given his time nurturing Dave, he believed that he would definitely bring a brand new era to the elves.

“Since everyone thinks so, then Dave, you don’t have to decline! Come and find me to inherit the divine spark tonight, and the others can continue to work hard. As long as your performance is acknowledged by your companions, I will hand over the elf divine spark to you!”

Vincent made his decision and responded loudly to the crowd, “Yes, we will obey your will!”

All the elves bowed their heads, expressing their highest respect to Vincent.

After all, Vincent was no longer an outsider who had barged into the Elf World, nor was he just a guest who helped the Elf Race to rise up in resistance. He was a member of the Elf Race, and at the same time, he was the supreme god of the elves!

Vincent looked at the scene of everyone bowing to him, and felt the power of faith in his body increase again. He nodded and said, “Everyone, quickly get up! Now that the great war has just ended, it is rare for us to have the time to recuperate. All of you should take a good rest!”

The elves gathered here all listened to Vincent’s guidance and dispersed on their own, leaving only Vincent, Dave, and the others behind.

Dave said to Vincent with a serious expression, “Vincent, there are still some problems that have not been resolved. We should have invited you to the City Lord’s mansion to discuss, but considering your identity, I think it’s appropriate to go to the temple that belongs to you!”

Vincent nodded and turned his gaze to Monica, saying, “Then bring everyone to the Temple!”

Monica immediately nodded and replied, “Yes! Everyone, please follow me!”

The new temple in Devil Flame City was grand and magnificent, but not luxurious. This was because they were currently at war, so Monica decided to build a giant stone statue for Vincent.

During this period of time, the worships in the temple had not stopped, and most of it was done by the residents of the city on their own initiative. This proved that Vincent had the hearts of the elves in Devil Flame City.

Vincent looked at the temple that was dedicated to him and did not feel uncomfortable. He nodded in satisfaction. He said, “The decorations here are not bad. In the future, remember to add statues of other gods, so as not to cause a division in the elves’ faith!”

Monica nodded slightly and took note of Vincent’s instructions.

Dave then said to Vincent, “Actually, the current crisis in Devil Flame City has not been completely resolved. The surrounding cities are sending troops to Devil Flame City. How should we deal with the other Dark Elves?”
