Chapter 346 Rune Embedding System
Xi Wei breathed a sigh of relief when the Players eventually took control of the battle.
It was only because the Players had gotten used to winning every battle that he didn’t pay too much attention in the current event, and the inadvertent slip almost led to the Players’ total wipeout.
It was fortunate that the little Saintess he had scouted in the beginning proved reliable, and ultimately provided him an excuse to interfere and bring the Players back to life.
Xi Wei had a feeling that he would deflate otherwise.
“Damn it, how did the high elves even make such a thing?”
Be that as it may, when he reached out to with his tentacle (which no mortal creature could see) to handle the tortoise colossus, he was actually repelled by the interior of the colossus-in other words, the Elven Synchronized Intellect Nation (SIN).
That certainly left Xi Wei astonished.
It was worth mentioning that he was the recently-transmigrated noob god, but a real intermediate god who could fight ten lesser gods like the Rotten Bones at once!
Let alone the beings in the mortal realm who wouldn’t be able to fight against the gods.
And yet, the Elven SIN within the tortoise colossus was different. After probing it tentatively, Xi Wei realized that he couldn’t directly drag it into his own divine kingdom!
The non-physical ‘weight’ of the Elven SIN alone enough to make Xi Wei take it seriously.
As such, he directly severed a part of his divine power and turned it into a clone which directly descended upon the Elven SIN. It did not take too long for it to be corrupted and warped by an unfamiliar force inside into an indescribable monster.
That might probably be the Mystery which the high elves allegedly gained after a deal with an unnamed god.
Still, Xi Wei gained some extent of understanding about Mystery after recalling the distorted clone back to his divine kingdom for study.

It remained unfamiliar, but a thorough study would still reveal that the essence of Mystery was ‘divine power’. Although there was no telling what the high elves had done to that divine power or what it did to the high elves, the power itself was utterly distorted that there was no identifying the owner’s Divine Order or Authority.
Any ordinary humans who recklessly touched Mystery would also be rendered insane by otherworldly whispers that were ever-present, their souls and eventually their entire being corrupted into a misshapen monster.
Still, it was only an unowned divine power to Xi Wei that was fully deformed-even if it had belonged to one of the Seven Divine Fathers, they probably could no longer sense it and let alone control it.
Therefore, with such a great supplement put right in front of him, why would Xi Wei not
eat it?
“Still, there needs to be some adjustments for the Players…”
While the Players could revive, they were still humans that had just taken a single step into the supernatural. Their souls were not too different from any normal persons, which was why recklessly intruding into it would render them corrupted—when the time comes, Xi Wei won’t be able to save them.
That was why Xi Wei must separate them from the evil whispers from the very start. “Heart wall and spirit guard… Hmm, giving it too all Players is a little extravagant, and a jackpot is still needed for the event.” Xi Wei muttered, becoming reluctant to throw out a huge clump of power after checking his stores of divine power and divine energy.
“Hold on. If spirit corruption is a part of the Mystery that the high elves developed, couldn’t I try to digest a portion of its controlling system?”
At that very thought, Xi Wei promptly dismantled his corrupted clone, and managed to dissect things from it.
“Interesting… protecting the Players this way would cost me a lot of divine power, but I don’t actually have to worry about being unrewarded even in the early game. And I would definitely get rich if they Players could really clear SIN entirely!” With that in mind, Xi Wei no longer hesitated. After slightly developing the new countermeasures for every Player, he started hammering away on the Pantheon Computer to set up the entire event.
In the next split second, every Player finally saw the full face of the event.
(Elven SIN: Ancient Atrocities]
[The mystery of the high elves which had been dormant for thousands of years resurfaced to the world under the influence of an undead bearing a tragic ambition, inside of which remains secrets and power that reaches the domain of the gods. Even so, the God of Games who dwell above the heaves had sensed the foreboding air that swirls in the elven ruins-it is no gospel of history, but an omen of destruction. Therefore, the great god invites all of you to defeat the elven ruins before calamity comes, to retrace and sever the atrocity at its roots!]
[Event period: 7 days)
(Quest Requirements: Players above Level 5 may enter the Faint Crystal Stratum, Players above Level 15 may enter the Deep Wall Stratum, Players above Level 25 may enter the Dark Sky Stratum, Players above Level 35 may enter the Steel Earth Stratum.
There is no requirement for entering the Eternal Archives Stratum, but the four strata before must be cleared.)
[Event objective: Players can enter the Elven SIN under the guidance of Eleena Meredith, Saintess-in-training.
The event is divided into four strata: Faint Crystal, Deep Wall, Dark Sky, Steel Earth, and Eternal Archives.
Defeat each Stratum Boss to obtain stratum clearance and succeed in clearing current stratum (All Players shares exploration progress). Event is a success if the Eternal Archives is cleared in the event period. ]
Players would receive corresponding numbers of ‘elven arcane text’ according to a series of standards including personal damage count, healing of allies or damage taken.) [Event rewards: There are no redeemable items for this event, but the ‘elven arcane texts’ could be refined into ‘high elf rune’. Each high elf rune can be embedded into weapons, with better rune obtainable through more arcane text invested. Runes can be combined into compound runes to further increase item stats.)

[Note: Embedding runes are to be performed with the blacksmith of the starter village, Lancaster hideout, Tunaya, and the Long Ears’ Village.
White normal weapons may be embedded with a single rune, Blue-elite weapons may be embedded with two runes, Purple-epic items may be embedded with three runes, Golden-legendary weapons may be embedded with four runes.]
[Notice: Unwanted runes can be removed at selected blacksmith’s, but runes are not salvageable through dismantling, although the corresponding rune socket of the weapon would be cleared.)
