Game: God-level Aura, 100x Experience at the Start!

In this world, the trunks of towering giant trees required over a hundred people to encircle them, their bark covered in dark green moss, from whose crevices sprouted pale purple Parasitic Flowers, with viscous liquid beads dripping from the edges of the petals.

A player curiously touched one, and a burning sensation immediately came from their fingertip. The system warned that this was the ”Poison of Divine Abandonment,” capable of corroding ironware.

The canopy blocked out the sky and sun, and light could only scatter through the gaps, leaving dappled light spots that fell onto the rotting leaves on the ground, revealing countless small insects wriggling within.

Countless Totem Poles stood on the distant mountains, the tallest reaching a thousand zhang high, with pale white flames burning on the top, vaguely revealing ferocious Beast Shadows roaring within the flames.

While all Blue Star players were curiously observing this new world.

A prompt from the Game System appeared:

[Attention all players! Mission hints are as follows:

1. This is a world dominated by several ’Deities,’ inhabited by countless Beastmen. These Beastmen are loyal believers of the Deities, possessing Divine Blessings, and their combat power is extraordinary!

2. The mission has a total of three phases. The next phase will only unlock after the current one is completed.

3. Mission Duration: 20 days]

[Strategy information for each Deity and their believers has been issued. Please check it!]

...[Realm of Pilgrimage Phase One Mission: Explore the Mist, collect 1 billion Deity Totem Fragments (Current Progress: 0/1 Billion)]

”This place... is much more sinister than the Wilderness Areas of the divine selection world.”

Somewhere, a player gripped the Iron Sword in their hand, the blade trembling slightly from tension.

As soon as he finished speaking, a ”crack” of snapping branches suddenly came from the dense forest on the left, and a zhang-tall Werewolf sprang out.

Its entire body was covered in grayish-black mane, silver chains were wrapped around the mane, and a string of Skull Necklaces hung from the chains. Each skull’s eye socket was embedded with a mung bean-sized ruby.

Its sharp claws flashed coldly, and dark red bloodstains remained in the gaps between its nails.

The most terrifying thing was its eyes: the pupils were vertical, and the irises displayed a strange greenish-purple color, clearly a sign that it had received some kind of Divine Blessing!

”It’s a believer of the Nature Deity!” A player who had carefully read the strategy information issued by the Game System immediately shouted, ”Mages use Fire Spell, it’s afraid of fire!”

Two Mages quickly chanted spells, and orange-red Fireballs condensed in their palms and were thrown toward the Werewolf.

The Werewolf roared and suddenly rolled to the left, dodging the Fireball while its sharp claws carved three deep trenches in the ground. Emerald green Vines immediately sprang out of the trenches, coiling toward the nearest player like poisonous snakes.

”Shield Warrior, push forward!” the Captain shouted. A player holding a massive shield immediately blocked in front. The moment the Vines wrapped around the shield, the shield surface suddenly lit up with faint golden light patterns.

This was the ”Guardian Barrier” that players had learned in the divine selection world, capable of briefly blocking high-level attacks.

Taking advantage of this gap, the Archer had already nocked an arrow. The tail of the arrow was wrapped in cloth strips soaked in Kerosene, and after being ignited, it shot toward the Werewolf’s neck like a fiery meteor.

The Werewolf tilted its head and roared, trying to block with the chain, but the arrow accurately struck the connection point of the necklace.

The Skull Necklace scattered with a crash, and the greenish-purple pupils on the Werewolf instantly dimmed, its speed noticeably slowing down by half a beat.

”Now!” Three Assassins sprang out from the shadows, their Daggers accurately stabbing into the joints of the Werewolf’s hind legs, where the mane was sparsest—a weakness the players had just observed.

”Done!” The Shield Warrior patted his shield, panting, watching the fallen Werewolf dissipate into light spots, leaving behind a fingernail-sized Wooden Totem Fragment on the ground. The fragment was carved with twisting vine patterns. ”Is this the Totem Fragment the mission needs? It looks quite ordinary.”

At this moment, a system prompt appeared before these few people:
