The players that are priests of the Church of Life all got a mission to change their job classes to a more improved version. While the priest players connected to the Twin Gods are on their own, the other players are now in a state of confusion because of a lot of things happening at the same time.
The players did not know what is happening at all parts of the world, but the global system message made them sure that a new era is coming. They even got news that the weakened elven players managed to get restored back to their previous stats.
The elven NPCs are now able to reproduce much better than before they only had the tree of life. The best news for the new players is that they can now choose a dark elf species for the elven race. All elven players now have a Race and Species identifier in their status card.
The dark elf race is now unlocked for all because the previous player that unlocked the dark elf race deleted her character. She deleted her character because of being hounded by the top guilds. The game needed a new way to unlock the dark elf species which is why it made Levin Cloud's job change quest extremely difficult.
The privilege of unlocking a new race or species is always bestowed upon the first player that managed to unlock it. If the first player leaves the game like what happened with the dark elves, all quest lines that are related to the unlocking will disappear and a good chunk of the game becomes obsolete.
The difference with the wood elves and the dark elves is their unique bodily constitution. The wood elves could use the four basic elemental spirits and the life element. The dark elves are their counterparts because they could also use the four basic elements and use the death element.
Their ancestors are just what Adrian guessed and it is a dryad that married a human. The wood elves' ancestor is a dryad that focused on the life element while the dark elves' ancestor is a leshy that focused on the death element.
The past could have been revealed for everyone if the dark elf player unlocked the species, but that player quit. Even the development team became frustrated as a whole quest line disappeared just like that. Eldritch would have been stopped or that player might have lessened the blow of the dark gods in the world.
The top guilds did not know that they themselves made the situation worse. This type of situation is also the reason why the developers started to give some sort of restraining orders in the game world for the privacy of the player.
The situation with the dark elf player also became the start of why the hidden races or species do not show themselves openly. There is a reason why not many players that unlocked other races are not in the news or in the radar of other people. They have something like Adrian's Glamour skill that they can use so that they can blend in with the surroundings.

The elders of the Church of the Twin Gods are now in awe of the tree of life and death. The elves are familiar with the world tree in Neo Alfheim before, but the tree of life and death is vastly different from it. The tree of life and death, Yewdrassil, has two different halos on top of it that makes it look like it has a planetary ring.
The first ring or halo is a green halo filled with boundless life energy. The other ring or halo is a pitch-black halo that has an oppressive but calming aura filled with boundless death energy. There is also some sort of makeshift seats near the roots of the tree of life and death.
Adrian and Levin Cloud placed the two prophets on their respective sides of the trees. Vitae is placed on the right seat while Mortem is placed on the left seat. The tired prophets suddenly got filled with vitality as they woke up and became full of energy.
Adrian and Levin Cloud transformed back to their humanoid avatars when they placed the two prophets in their seats. They might not look like it, but their stamina bar is almost depleted due to the task they did despite being controlled by the AI.
Levin Cloud is shocked but the one that is more surprised is Adrian. His territory is now floating in the sky with the tree of life and death planted on the middle. The list of system notifications has basically become a headache for him to read.
[Your territory Avalon has become the land where the Tree of Life and Death resides.]
[All life elements and death elements will recover twice as fast in your territory.]
[Your territory has now become a holy ground for the Church of the Twin Gods.]
[Since your territory is now a holly ground, the Church of the Twin Gods will handle half of the security in your territory.]
[Congratulations! You obtained the achievement of 'Owning a Floating Island'. Your fame has increased by 100,000 points.]
[Due to vast life and death energy in your territory, individuals with these two elements will most likely come and settle in your territory.]
[You can expand your territory in a different way compared to the conventional land expansion quests.]
Adrian read all of the system notifications one by one and the thing that made him have a headache is the territory expansion system notification. It basically told him that his territory will have special ways to increase the land mass. In other words, it is another back breaking ordeal.
"Greetings once again, Levin Cloud and Equinox!" The tree of life and death, Yewdrassil, stated using a wave of magical energy. Even the elders of the Church of the Twin Gods heard what the tree of life and death said.
The elders are puzzled because they knew that tree or any other plant has life but not this kind of life. They know that there are treants, ents, and even dryads and leshies but they are considered as not fully a tree. The tree of life and death is speaking to them which made the common sense of the elders break down.
"Yewdrassil, it has been a while." Both Equinox and Levin Cloud stated as they could now have proper conversation with the tree of life and death.
Levin Cloud might be able to summon Yewdrassil but he only summons a part of it because the real Yewdrassil will be able to cover the whole world with its roots. Even the Yewdrassil before them is but a sprout if compared to the real tree of life and death.
"I have finally been able to take root in the mortal plane thanks to the both of you. I guess giving you my blessing paid off in the end. The version of me you see here is but small part of me which is why you need to make me grow.
I will not make you do it now but be mindful of it as the bigger that I become will make my blessings better. It might also make your revivals after death shorter." Yewdrassil stated which made the two best friends immensely interested.
Their revival upon death skill is not affected by the cooldown reduction. Instead, their revival is always fixed to one day. They have been thinking of a way to decrease its cooldown because who would not want to do that. A shorter cooldown of their full revival skill will make them hunt more efficiently.
"Great Tree of Life and Death! You honor us with your presence." The elders of the Church of the Twin Gods stated as they knelt.
Yewdrassil became silent because it did not know what to say. This is the first time that other people bowed towards it. If Adrian paid close attention, then he might have seen the tree of life and death flinch a little. As if the tree of life and death is telling the two best friends to do something about the situation.
"The elders do not need to bow before Yewdrassil. You are making it uncomfortable." Mortem stated as he woke up from his sleep.
"The tree of life and death is not an object of worship but a bridge to the Twin Gods. We can communicate better with the Twin Gods if we are seated near him. Please treat him like another individual like us." Vitae stated but that is also not a very good idea.
Prophets are special existences in the church which means Vitae told the elders to treat the tree of life and death like a prophet.
"I think that is not a better response, dear sister." Mortem stated as it seems he realized the situation his sister presented.
"Treat the tree like a real person that is on the same level as you elders. Yewdrassil is intelligent so it can hold up a conversation. You can learn more about the history of the world with him which means he wants to become a teacher." Adrian stated while Levin Cloud whispered something to the elders.
"Yewdrassil likes to talk with small children as it likes guiding people." Levin Cloud whispered to which the elders all nodded in unison.
